Thank you Drago, AprilPearl, cypher, CMB and Thin Lizzy

Pumpkin was gentle with the tube – only chewing a large enough hole for her head to fit in so she could delicately remove the treats – she also rolled the tube around in the sand a little too! Drago, I put some of her food mix alongside her most favourite treats - mealworms, linseed, a small monkey nut, a piece of Dari – inside her treat parcel.

Happy Birthday Pumpkin! - 1 Year Old

Today, Pumpkin has been celebrating her 1st Birthday!
I don’t know her exact birthday so decided that she could have her special day on the 30th July (as she was roughly around 8 weeks when I adopted her)

Pumpkin was so excited this morning for her birthday that she woke me up early in the morning whilst she was chewing up her willow sticks – obviously she was eagerly waiting for her present. So I went over and sat next to her cage, when she heard me she quickly came running over to the edge of the cage wanting a cuddle – so we had a lovely special birthday cuddle and I wished her a happy birthday! For Pumpkin special birthday breakfast she got some tasty mealworms and some of her herb forage mix scattered around her cage! After having her breakfast, Pumpkin decided it was time for her birthday nap!

This is Pumpkin’s Birthday Card,

Earlier, Pumpkin also got to see all her present that I had made and also bought for her!
For her birthday I gave her: A DIY Pink and Blue House (24 x 18.3 x 13.5cm - l x w x h) with a matching DIY bendy bridge , an medium sized oblong grass nest/tunnel, willow carrot chew, Vitakraft Crunchy Carrots treats (these are new in p@h) and also some grassy sticks. Also today, when I was out and was nearby p@h I quickly popped in a got Pumpkin 2 bunches of willow sticks as well for her (these are not included in the collage as I got them after I took the photo of Pumpkin with her presents). As I will be cleaning her cage out this Tuesday – she will be having all her presents in her cage so she will be able to enjoy them more then!

Pumpkin thoroughly investigated all her presents and I think she is really happy with all of them!

When she wake up later she will be spoilt with more special birthday cuddles and also she will get her birthday cake - vitakraft muffin treat – I will try to get photo but I think she might quickly run of with it before I can get a photo!

I can’t quite believe she is already 1 year old – and in 8 weeks (24th September) it will be her 1 year adoption anniversary! Where has the time gone?

Happy first Birthday Pumpkin

I love her card & her presents are wonderful SKB, the house & matching bridge are really lovely, what a great day it's been for both of you!
Love the photos of Pumpkin exploring her presents, I think my favourite has to be that one of her in the house

Time does fly doesn't it, that pack so much into a single year!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY PUMPKIN!

Wow, one year old. You're now 36 and a half in hamster years - so grown up! But, beautiful as ever.

Your Mum did an awesome job with your card and I hope you love all your presents. The DIY house and bridge are very pretty.

Be a good girl and let your Mum take a photo of you with your birthday cake for us

Happy first birthday to you, Pumpkin. Spoiled again I see with your haul of prezzies. Glad you had a good look around them. What a lot of trouble Mum has taken with that lovely house and bridge. Enjoy your day!

Happy 1st birthday sweet Pumpkin

What a wonderful selection of gifts you got for her, especially the homemade ones. The house and bendy bridge are fantastic. She looks very pleased with it all

Lovely pics and also of her with her treat parcel, it's good to see she enjoyed it even if she did take her time with it

Hope you manage to get a pic of her with her birthday muffin

Pumpkin would like to thank cypher, AprilPearl, Coco61, CMB and BorisPasha for wishing her a happy birthday. I tried to make her birthday as special as possible and we enjoyed our cuddle time this evening and got to enjoy a yummy blueberry.

Pumpkin and Her Birthday Cake

I made Pumpkin's birthday cake using a vitakraft banana muffin (http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pe...muffins-banana) which I have decorated with a dandelion leaf Christmas treat icing (same as the p@h Easter egg) with linseed and millet sprinkles and her birthday cake is finished off with a mealworm candle.

I was really lucky in managing to get some photo of her with her cake before she ran off with it!

Happy Birthday Pumpkin, what a special day for a special princess. Fabulous pics of all your presents and cake. So well deserved.
