Default Working Nights

I am a nurse & I work 13.5hour day shifts and quite a lot of nights. I really miss my hamster when i'm on nights because i'm basically on the same sleeping patterns as them! I usually work 3 or 4 in a row so don't get to see or play with them for a couple of days Sometimes I see Mumble because he usually gets up for a drink/snack around 6/7pm so if he wants to he comes out for a cuddle then. But Domino is so lazy and doesn't get up till about 10pm so i'm in work by then!

Just wondering if anyone else works nights & is on the same sleeping patterns as there hamsters lol

That must be hard for you to work nights some days and never have a regular pattern! Gemma got used to my pattern and would wake up when I did and go to bed when I did, but I guess your hams probably couldn't do that since your schedule switches! Maybe you can wake little Domino up before you go... I'm sure he wouldn't mind a treat and a snuggle

I currently work in a bar and had planned to see Teddy before I went to work at around 5pm and then again when I got home at 1am but it hasn't happened

He's never awake by 5pm lol and I'm always dead tired by 1am or he's having a nap when I get home lol.

He sees me when he sees me now. It's only weekends when I work till 1 so weekdays he sees me most nights as i'm home by 11pm but my shifts change week to week so he just does his thing and I work around it lol.

Like Gemma said though, you could always wake Domino up early for a cuddle before you have to go

I'm sure if he has plenty to do in the cage he will be more than happy to wait until your shifts allow you to spend some time with him.
