can your hamster count?

I thought I'd try this experiment with Harvey. He usually gets three sunflower seeds when he goes back in his cage. Offered him a fourth. He took it. And a fifth, and a sixth and... well... I think I need to rethink the experiment or he's going to end up being a very chunky ham!

Haha sefka that's funny. Hmm if you can find something non-fattening and try a highish number like 5 each day and then see if he actually expects 5 we might be on to something! Otherwise as you say you have a chilled out sweetie who is an opportunist and an optimist and will happily consume whatever treats arrive from the sky! Bless him

This is such a fascinating discussion! I wish I had something to add to it, but I've enjoyed reading what everyone else has had to say.
