Peekaboo Pikachu

[Gracelilian]

Hello all!
This is my new girl Pikachu (Pika for short). She's very scared at the moment and I am using all my willpower to stay away and not cuddle.
I'm not sure what colour she is, what do you think?
Just thought I would introduce her!!

[DanniDorrito]

She's so beautiful, awesome name too!

[Erin.R]

Very pretty, she looks like a black eyed cream to me but I am by far no expert

[TheHamsterCher]

How precious! I love Pickachu, and she's adorable, so the name is very fitting ^_^

[HamsterCrazy2013]

Aww she is stunning. Awesome name too.

[Gracelilian]

Ah thank you! She (in my obviously unbiased opinion) is such a little cutie, really reminds me of pikachu! In some pictures it even looks like she has little rosy cheeks!

Greetings to you, Gracelilian and your gorgeous little black eyed cream Pikachu.

Is she settling in now and not so scared?

[Gracelilian]

She is slightly better now, very jumpy. I've been sitting the (empty) bath with her and she will run and jump all over me but as soon as I move she hides in my clothes. Also, not related to her being scared but I haven't seen her pouch anything yet, she just eats it there and then. Is this normal?

[amie]

It sounds normal. If a hamster wants to eat something it will take the food from you and eat it, if it doesn't feel like it there and then, then it will pouch the food. I wouldn't worry about it.

I am sure, given time when she is more used to you, she will be less jumpy. Everything is new and strange for her with you.

Good luck with taming her.

I've found with a couple of my dwarfs they didn't pouch anything at all for a while, maybe they don't really do it until they're a little older or more settled or maybe she just hasn't begun to make a stash yet, I'm sure once she's chosen a safe place for her hoard she'll be pouching with the best of them!
