Lovely to watch Blacky enjoying his JR farm treat roll - he looks so cute in the video!

Dear Blacky, it's Harvey here,
Mom showed me pics of your glass home and I was wondering if I could come and visit and see it for myself. Of course I'll bring my gourmet chef lol!

Wow the cage/tank is looking amazing. Blacky looks nice and settled in eating his log roll

I would leave it in there. They tend to hoard most of it anyway.

Thank you Lizzy, cypher, BP, Rads, SKB and Serendipity.. As Rads said, Blacky's being so Blacky... I think that we reached the point where we were before the move.

He doesn't come out at daylight if he doesn't need to take a drink or something, but he comes out almost every morning and night when he hears me calling for him to have breakfast/dinner. He doesn't stay for too long but the periods of time that he stays are increasing. This morning he even took a little walk around, like checking that everything was in its place, and his new cage it's big, so it took him a while. I was thrilled.

He also doesn't run to his house when I wake up in the middle of the night to take a wee, and If I'm not super tired we hang for a while. It's a pity that he wakes up so late, because it's amazing to see him so active.

I tried to leave the JR roll in his cage again but when I woke up in the morning it had another huge chunk removed... So I don't trust him with is eating impulses

I don't have more photos/vids because I broke my phone, and my spare one is terrible, I can't take decent pics with it and I can't shoot videos...

My grandpa is getting better each day. I'm super happy. I think that he's going to have a full recovery... well, he was a very active grandpa, and he looked very young... now I think that he's not going to be able to do all the things that he did, and he looks 10 years older, but he's recovering all his abilities and that's what's important.

Lizzy I'm so rude! next time I will try to translate what I'm saying, I was talking with my mom and my dad, we were throwing a party after seeing Blacky coming out so willingly and blessing us with his presence hahahaha. I'm glad that Harvey liked my voice

Hey Harvey! You should come, my house is so big that we both would fit without any problems, it's really cozy and we could have fun together. If you bring your chef mom with you it would be AWESOME, I drool every time I read about your meals, so I would like to have one!! It's not that I'm complaining about mine, but they aren't so fancy!!

Rads You should try growing some lentils, it's fairly easy and probably Pip would enjoy them very much. I'm having problems growing other things but growing lentils was easy peasy

Good to have an update on Blacky

It sounds as though he's been enjoying the new cage & is really settling in now, it's great that his time out in the open & interacting with you are on the increase.
What a shame about your phone

So glad for you that your grandpa is getting better, that must be such a relief for you.

You're not being rude when you speak in your language, I love seeing Blacky's face when you're talking to him.
Harvey was so intrigued by your voice.
I'm so pleased to hear your grandpa's on the mend.

Here's a message from Harvey,
Hey Blacky,
I accept your invite, mom will travel with me and will do all the cooking. Do you think your mom could teach my mom some Spanish? You are so lucky!
I'm so glad you take time to check everything is in it's right place in your sparkling glass house. After all it's all yours!
Big Hugs xxx Will ham-chat later.

Awww it sounds like Blacky's confidence is really growing in his new mansion, he must be really happy in it

I'm glad he's spending more time with you and not running away anymore. He's a special boy

I love that he comes out for breakfast and dinner when you call his name. I called on Pasha one time because he wasn't around when I went in with the fresh veggies and he appeared as if by magic standing upright on his back legs with one paw on his cardboard log thing as if to say "what is it?"

That's great news about your Grandpa

Pebbles82 · 03-22-2017, 01:12 PM

So glad Blacky is back to his old self and your Grandpa is getting better

I am just imagining Blacky saying "Me Gusta!" while eating his J R Farm roll. (I learned some of my Spanish from the Manu Chau song

)

SKB_Hamsters · 03-24-2017, 05:11 AM

Glad to hear that Blacky is getting comfortable with his cage and is enjoying himself and interacting with you more.
So good to hear that your Grandpa is getting better.

Hola Blacky,
It is Pip, I love your new home can I come with Harvey and we could have a Hamparty my Human says he will also cook as he is very good at it, apparently from what I have heard from his female he is good at baking too, I can attest to that as he has let me have a little of his cakes before and his pastry is yummy too......
I have used my cave as my stash for my food "he" says I am greedy as there is a lot of food in there but it's my cave...
Be good, if not good then be naughty
Pip
