Thank you all! He is still asleep at the moment, I want to PLAY!

That is a gorgeous hamster!!! OMG, what beautiful fur. It looks so thick and soft. A person can't help but laugh when he scares himself with the nut. I love his name .

he's such a sweetie

[corrieberry]

He has decided he really, really likes my hair! There is a little video here.

[littlescruffies]

Aww, he looks comfortable there!

[corrieberry]

I think he was! When I put him back in his cage he took himself straight back to bed, he was obviously all warm and scrummy

I'm slightly jealous.

he is beautiful, I wanted a white syrian when I was looking for my first hamster last january. I ended up with a sable banded one though lol

Congratulations and I agree that they help make us feel better xx

What a gorgeous hamster! I am glad it is helping you with your mental health problems, I think it is widely evidenced that pets can do that. Good luck!

tolennaki, that was the reason my boyfriend got him for me! I had a rabbit for a while and when he died it really affected me.

That said, Pippin is really acting out and behaving like a blooming teenager! Poo-throwing, refusing to come out of his cage, changing the structure of his day...ugh. The whole story here, but even better, look at this photo of him yawning while he was sitting in his little shelter REFUSING to come out.
