Default Being Sweep - the life of a hamster!

Hello!
I am Sweep. I am an 8 week old Syrian hamster. Yesterday, something really odd happened to me. One minute I was fast asleep all curled up with my brothers, and the next minute I was in this really big place with no brothers! Where did they go??? I mean, it's great having more space to myself, but I am a little lonely. There's this pink human lady who I can see but she doesn't fit into this place I am in. It's great though! I have lots of places to hide, things to climb on, nice food, some weird wooden shapes that can be nice to nibble on, and lots and lots of sand to dig in. I like digging! Actually, no I don't like it, I LOVE it!! It is the best thing ever! But I still miss my brothers. The pink human lady says that I am not allowed to come out of this new place for a few days until I "settle in" whatever that means. I want to come out and play!! She can see into this place I was put in but I can only see her if I stand on top of something which I think is funny because it means I can hide and she can't see me unless she is right by the thing I am in. Where exactly am I?? It smells very different to the place I was in with my brothers. There were 5 of us. But I must have been the cutest, otherwise the pink human lady wouldn't have picked me would she? ... Unless ... Anyway, where am I?? When will I next see my brothers?? Was I naughty? I don't want to be naughty! My brothers told me that if you are naughty then you don't get cuddles. I like cuddles. I will be a good boy, I promise! So, who are you all?? Hmm, hamster central ... So why does the pink human lady spend a lot of time on there? Is she really a hamster too?? So about me ... Well, I LOVE digging! And I am cute. Also the pink human lady tells me that I get 2 birthdays. What are birthdays?? She said she doesn't know the exact day I was born (I know but I'm not telling!) so because I am 8 weeks old she is guessing my birthday is around 12th January. And then I get a second birthday apparently, because she "brought me home" yesterday, on the 8th March. I wish she would speak Hamster, because I am not so sure I understand her! Well, I have to go dig some more now! See you later!

Hello Sweep! Love the name. Glad he is having fun settling in. Sweep - the Pink lady is your new Mum! You've been given a home! And it's very normal for a grown up hamster of 8 weeks to go out into the world and have their own home - your brothers will have done the same

Hello, Sweep here! Apparently I am "supposed to be sleeping" but I am having far too much fun! So last night I did lots of fun things. Of course I did more digging. And I moved the white paper stuff to a corner to sleep under. So now I have the white paper stuff in 3 places which is funny because the pink human lady now doesn't know where I am sleeping! I also tipped over this red thing that was holding all my food. I didn't want it in there! The pink human lady came to speak to me last night. She said I am "cute". Doesn't she know I am a boy?! Boys are handsome, not cute! I got a bit scared because there was this other thing that came in the room. The pink human lady told him off and said he wasn't allowed in there and took him back out. She said he was a C-A-T. I don't know what this spells, but he had 4 legs and a long fluffy tail. Maybe he wanted to play! Why wouldn't she let me play with him?? I am lonely! How long do I have to stay in here before the pink human lady lets me out to play?? I hope it's not too long! I decided to hide inside this red log thing. It tastes nice but it scares me a little because it is REALLY big! The pink human lady keeps holding up this black box thing. She says she "wants to get a picture" but I don't know what that means either! I am glad none of my brothers are here to take my food. It is so nice. The pink human lady says soon I can have some "vegetables". What are they? Are they nice? I hope they are not scary! My purple shape thing to nibble on went hiding yesterday. I put it somewhere and then I couldn't find it. I did find it eventually and the pink human lady said I "must have dug over it" but I think it moved on purpose, just to annoy me! I have also moved almost everything in this big place because I didn't like where it was! There is still this big scary round thing in the corner. I don't want to go near it incase it tries to eat me. Now all I have to do is to find the way out so I can play. Maybe I will go find that thing with the fluffy tail and see if he wants to play. The pink human lady said he "isn't allowed in the room" and that he is "a scary animal I mustn't go near". He doesn't speak Hamster either so I can't even ask him! Well, I am hungry now and I might have a sleep - or at least pretend to! I shall see you all later!

Sweep here! Well, I found this thing hanging in my cage. I mean, just hanging there! I don't know where it came from, so I went to have a look. But I can't reach it properly unless I stand on top of this house thing and for some reason I don't like it ... And then after I had investigated and had a nibble it disappeared!! The pink human lady said it is so I "don't eat too much" but I am not greedy! I thought it was going to be my friend ... And then I went back to investigating the red log thing ...

(*He will get it back later for another nibble!)

Hi, it's just Sweep again!
So because I have been digging so much I now can't find my sand! It must be here somewhere! I ate up all my food in the night and saw the red thing it was in had more food in. So I sat there eating it. I like my food! I am a very good boy because I eat every bit and don't leave any behind. The pink human lady put some of my food on to her paw so I could try getting it from there. She said I didn't have to if I wasn't ready so I nibbled her. She doesn't taste as nice as my food! I wish she would give me some peanuts. I LOVE peanuts! There are some in my food but not very many at all! This is sad because I very much like them! Does anyone know how long til I can come out to play? I want to explore!!

Lovely photos. He could do with more substrate in It would be easier to reach things then too.
