So much gorgeousness, superb pics of Wonder Mae. That little face gives me goosebumps.

Hi all,

Thanks for your sweet messages about sweet Wonder Mae

This morning a found a big coconut for £1 so thought i'd make Wonder a coconut hide. I've long admired them but always found the ones they've sold in pet shops a bit on the small side.

I'm going to make some coconut chips with the flesh.

Here's the finished hide. I can't wait to see if she likes it this evening

Hadn't had time to post replies recently but have been keeping updated with Wonder thread. I am sorry to hear that she is still having respiratory issues (but pleased that she doesn't have pneumonia). I hope her sneezing and snuffly breathing will get better soon - have you managed to see a specialist vet?

Glad to hear that Wonder is getting inquisitive and is getting more comfortable around you. I am sorry to hear that she has bitten your boyfriend a couple of time, it does make you nervous but I'm sure once she happy to be handled by you she will quickly warm up to your bf too.

Beautiful photos of Wonder - she is so beautiful and she has such an expressive face. I'm sure Wonder will love her new coconut hide!

You did a great job in that hide! I heard that she loves it! I may try to make one with Mr. Libby!

How's your Wonder Mae enjoying her coconut hide?

Hi all,
So sorry for such a delayed response regarding the coconut hide!

Here she is enjoying it the night of -

I think she was enticed in by the coconut chips I put in there because I haven't seen her go back in since

Infact I haven't seen much of her generally..

WM wakes up so late at the moment. Hopefully the clocks going back will mean i'll see a bit more of her.

She has a funny little personality. If I compared my dear previous hamster Lil to a doting dog, Wonder Mae would certainly be an independent feline

She doesn't have much interest in coming out for playtime or being handled. Quite content running in her wheel and wriggling around in her sandpit and sleeping all day.
I leave lots of chews/puzzles/treats/toys for her to explore but she doesnt take much notice

She does have a great appetite for almost all fresh food i've offered her though

Oh she is just too cute in her coconut!
She sounds very content in her own way, i hope she gets a bit more interactive with time though, mine were up early with the clock change yesterday, hope you get to see a bit more of her now too.

That second photo is impossibly cute. Look at her little paws.

Eek! at that adorable nose and paws in the coconut. Mega cuteness overload.
