Coffee!

I was considering getting a 20gal tank for him, but I'm worried he might not be up for that. He navigates his house pretty much with his eyes shut.

And thanks he's snuggled up asleep.

As Coffee is quite old and has lived in that cage for 2 years. As long as you handle and play with him a lot(which we know you will) then I would just keep him in that cage, to avoid any stress.. x

Play it by ear. He may be so used to his house that it would confuse him to move. I'd give him more time. It's difficult because you want to give him good things and not confuse him. Maybe what he has now is good enough? By the way I was just looking at the post by Vectis. She has new babies whose eyes just opened. Oh, are they cute. You gotta see them.

[Hekomi]

Yeah I don't want to confuse him. The lady said he hustles to his loft but I put a treat and cucumber up there and he didn't use it so I don't think he uses that part of the cage.

I'll see how he does over the next week or so.

I saw the babies!!! So cute! It makes me want my own

Will upload some pictures soon! I'm going to keep his health on the thread on the healthcare chat and just talk about him here.

He came out to visit SO and me today and I snapped some pics. He doesn't like the flash so they're all without the flash except the first few. I'll upload them soon!

He won't be getting a new cage I don't think. It would be too confusing for my little old man.

I'm very dapper :3


Are you my mummy?


Daddy smells nice...


*yawn* getting sleepy... (you can see the damp spot on his side from the cucumber)


I like pats :3

Trying to take as many nice pictures of him now so we have them. He's such a sweet old man. I do say I feel a bit overwhelmed because I'm worrying about his health, and I hope he's not in pain and happy, but I'm glad we can give him a nice, loving home.

He's adorable I love the cowlicks on his face!

[basilthehammy]

Awwwww he is such a handsome hammy!!

[Hekomi]

Hehe thanks! He has some gorgeous eyelashes. Wish I could get a picture of them!

He has typical old man hair, that spikey look is too cute. Hekomi, I don't know how long he has, but don't count him out just yet. Some dwarfs get to 3 and beyond. He looks pretty alert. He may be wobbly and sleep a lot, but otherwise, he looks pretty good. He also isn't a bad weight. What I do with the old ones is just go day by day and enjoy each one. Is it my imagination, or is he getting attached to your SO?
