Default As Yet Un-Named......

On Saturday, after searching for "her" since the beginning of March, we finally brought home "our girl":









She is a LH black-eyed cream and she comes from a very good breeder based in Bath. She's only eight weeks old but already she's just about the same size as Treacle, Custard and Mocha - so I think she's going to be big! (I put two loo-roll tubes in the cage for her - she's already too big to fit through them).

She seems to be settling in well - it's already obvious that she's a lot more used to human contact than our three pet-shop hams were when we got them. She isn't 100% sure of us yet but we got her out for the first time last night and she allows herself to be picked up and placed on our laps to explore

She absolutely adores her wodent wheel:



Our only probelm with her is her name - we have a few ideas and wanted to continue with our food/drink theme:

Caramel
Crunchie
(Will likes choccy bar names - these are the only two that seem appropriate as the others all make her sound brown!)
Toffee
Parsnip
Saffron
Latte


We'll keep you posted!

She is just absolutly stupendously gorgeous. She has a lovely head and her coat is great too. Her wheel is the same colour as Paws.... it must be a sign
She looks very girly. A nice girly name would suit her..
Poppet (those little sweets)
Camomile
Barley
Souffle
Moppet
oh its too hard
I like Crunchie and Latte though Paws grandad was called Caramel!

She is absolutely gorgeous Holly - worth the wait. Love her cute little face and beady eyes.
She looks like a cream pudding to me. I like Caramel on your list.

I'm so glad you think so! You obviously know what is looked for in a good show hamster more than I do (though I'm getting the idea - I spent some time talking to Jean on Saturday - very helpful ) but we just think she's utterly adorable!!

The funny thing is that she doeslook very girly - and she
feels different as well, I can't put my finger on quite why. I suppose it'a combination of the long hair (which feels very thick) and her size despite being so young - but she just feels like a girl!

AWWWWWW!!!!!! She's absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! Paws is dancing in front of the screen squeaking 'Marry me! Marry me!' She's utterly adorable and has a face like Nelson's (Paws' Dad)!!! She definitely needs a 'fluffy' girly name! Emm.... *thinks hard* Cookie? Maybe Fleur, Daisy, Poppy? Crystal? Opal, Emerald, Sapphire, something on a jewel theme? Or how about simply Fluff?
