The little golden tag-along, Dusty

[Hekomi]

Dusty is the last of Darissa's litter. We actually didn't intend to keep him at first. Maybe my SO did? I'm not sure really. He reminded my SO so much of his first hamster, Dusty. His original litter name was Americano though. Either way, he's here to stay.

Born September 13th, like his siblings.



First picture, eyes open.



My SO loves him. He's the smallest of the three we kept, but still good. He's very long, and my SO calls him "long ham".



Nom nom nom kale.



Cuddles with me.

Dusty rejects the fact that Arya gets more pictures than him. He insists on rectifying this. He and Amaretto are joining forces.

He's a well behaved lad, and very calm. He likes to sit with you, especially in a pocket, and happily chew away at treats.

Awwwww Dusty is adorable! Love the pics! Cuddlers are great aren't they!

[Hekomi]

Thanks! He's a sweetie. He is probably the cuddliest of the group, as he'll just sit there and soak in all the attention and pets.

LOL "long ham", that's sweet

[Hekomi]

He is seriously the longest hamster when he's stretched out! Lemme see if I have some pics.



Lawl! I was using this to show people that agoutis have light bellies (thus can hide Wh).

Wow he's a very beautiful boy

[Thin Lizzy]

I'm mad about that boy lol
He's so adorable, he reminds me of how Archie looked at that age - what happy memories!
So glad Dusty is staying with you.

OMG!! Isn't that the cutest thing ever?!!! He's going to turn out bigger than anyone thought! I love the treat in his mouth. Is is heart shaped? You take such great shots Hekomi.

Love his colouring, what a stunning little guy!

He is a sweetie! He was out for a while last night and is sometimes interested in treats, but not always. The treat is a heart - it's an oxbow treat, my mum bought them for the hams for last Christmas... haha!

He was so excited to get a new treat and wouldn't let it go.
