My Amazon order arrived today!



I got a Kaytee Knot Knibbler, a Lixit Critter Space Pod, A tunnel/maze from NiteAngel, a Kaytee Critter bath, and a couple of the Whimzee's Alligator Chews. I can't wait until he's been here long enough for me to do a complete cage cleaning--Hopefully by the time my viovet order gets here.

I also did my best to get some pics for sexing, but I can't see anything that would indicate either way--I think because he's got such thick, dark colored fur. Maybe a more practiced eye can help me.





And then just a few more pics from today

Oh, he's adorable! And is he beyond his feisty stage that you've been able to get handheld pictures of him where he's not biting your thumb?

Oh that order made me jealous! It's a sign it's time for me to spoil my hams by ordering more

Could you possibly put him/her into a tub or jar of some sort with a glass bottom so we could see his scent gland? Males have a much more prominent scent glands than females do. Plus seeing underneath would help more I'm not super experienced with dwarfies so you'll need to consult the more experienced people!

It's always time to spoil the hammies!

The glass idea is actually what I tried today, but I realized the pitcher I put him in had a bowed bottom in a way that distorted all the pics, so I tried just holding him, but you can't actually see anything.

Lol! May I ask what is wrapped around the Popsicle stick in the other picture? He looks very interested in it.

It's a chew from Petco, I think. I have a dangerous obsession with shopping for hamster supplies . Comes with both the popsicle stick and the pink/yellow willow branch in a pack of two.

It's wood lol. I bought a three pack of those chews at Petsmart for about three dollars, and it's just a popsicle stick with the wood wrapped around it--sort of hard to explain, now that I'm trying. I've had a look at their website and couldn't find them online, though.

Edit: Thanks, JLPrairie, you did a better job explaining than me lol.

He's looking really lovely there, I can't see much from the photos regarding whether he is actually a he! It's always a bit difficult to see in photos when they're that dark.

Thanks, Cypher! I suppose for now I'll just continue on the basis that he's a he, at least until he's more tame and I can get a better look.

After putting a lot of thought (probably more than necessary!) into this, I'm officially pronouncing his name as Algernon, because I fell in love with it as soon as it was suggested.
