Default Veikko & Delphia

Yesterday we adopted a couple of hamsters from the SSPCA, they think they are a year old or so and a boy and a girl

Veikko (boy)

Delphia (girl)

After the initial jumping around in the travel carriers they went to sleep and woke up when we arrived home. Delphia was very keen to get in to her new cage, while Veikko had already fallen asleep again in the carrier and was stubbornly refusing to get out. Delphia was having a good run around everywhere, with lots of sniffing, a shot on her wheel and a roll around in her sand before eventually going for a sleep. We eventually got Veikko out by removing all the bedding from the carrier He had a little walk around and had a shot on his wheel and a dig in the sand before going back to bed.

Veikko go up again a little later and had a much bigger explore around his new home, he took some seeds from me and was happy to let me pet him. Delphia had a little screech at me when I tried to pet her but they seem quite used to hands

Little video of Delphia and then one of Veikko

Very short clip of them, couldn't resist getting them both on the same video when they were out and about at the same time. Their cages aren't touching and they're not close enough to be able to paw at each other either Delphia is on the pink ledge and Veikko by his water bottle.

Awww, congrats on adding these two little sweethearts to your lovable, awesome hamily!! I am SO excited for you, hamdad, and the two cuties. They are so lucky to have you and hamdad as their new hamparents, and I'm sure they will be thoroughly spoiled now, lol. Squeee, they are both just too adorable and I love both of their names. Delphia is a real beauty, quite the personality, and your first hamgal (congrats). Veikko is one chilled, extra sweet, and handsome ham. I'm so happy that they are already used to hands and Veikko let you hand feed him, too. Great pics and videos. I especially love the pic of Veikko inspecting his wheel and Delphia peeking out of her hideout. I look forward to getting to know these little ones and seeing more pics and videos as they settle in more.

Congrats on your two new fur babies BP, they are both so adorable & it's lovely to see more of them in the vids, just too cute!
Delphia really is an inquisitive little thing, I'm sure she only screeched at you for interrupting her big adventure finding all her wonderful new things!
What a boy Veikko is lol! sleep & food, got his priorities right bless him.
They both look very happy in their new home & I'm sure they're going to settle in really well & quickly, looking forward to seeing more of them.

Congrats on adopting Veikko and Delphia - they are so very fortunate to have an amazing home with you. It also lovely that you have your first female hammy - and she is absolutely gorgeous especially in the photo of her in her carrier. Veikko is handsome too.

I am so looking forward to hearing more about both of their fun filled adventures and seeing more adorable photos of them both!

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome for my two newbies

They are both doing very well, quite sociable and friendly although Delphia seems to enjoy taking chunks out my fingers when the food on my hand is finished. She's quite a fiesty girl and very tiny Veikko is still a very chilled out chub but is running on his wheel, burrowing and enjoying his fresh vegetables

Thought I would share some pictures of Veikko, who is more of a sitting still and posing type than Delphia

Sitting here relaxing. I leave the rushing around to my sister Delphia
Veikko3.JPG

Are you sure this is my food? There is only two pea flakes in the bowl
Veikko4.JPG

Please mum, can I have some more pea flakes?
Veikko5.JPG

I can't find the pea flakes [You're sitting on them Veikko...]
Veikko6.JPG

Oh..but there's not enough and there is too much millet. I don't like that
Veikko7.JPG

If you hadn't worked it out from the captions, Veikko adores his pea flakes. I've never had a hamster who loves them so much

And a video of him..eating a pea flake

I so love this little guy, such a sweet character
I think that first photo in the pud house is still my favourite of him, closely followed by the second with his pea flake! Love them all though.
