Peanut's Thread!

[freyashamsters]

Hello everybody! My name is Peanut and I am a 6-week-old Syrian hamster! Today something very strange happened; I was curled up under my bendy bridge (seriously, I have NO idea why humans don't use these too!) at the pet shop when something very unusual happened! One of the humans that worked there woke me up (I don't like being woken up, grrrr!) and put me into this tiny little cardboard box thing! At this point I was very very VERY confused about what was happening so I scratched and scrabbled for about half an hour in my little box, whilst my new human kept saying "Shhhh!" to me; I do not take orders from humans! When the great big rumble machine finally stopped, I was taken inside a really big place with OTHER humans inside! Before I got a chance to look at them properly, my new human took me upstairs, opened a door and put my cardboard box inside a new place! Because I was VERY curious, I took two teeny-weeny steps out - I loved it! It has lots of toys in it and a big wheel and a hide and seek cube thing which I love to chew and hide inside!
Here are some pictures of my handsomeness

Note: I am not getting a new hamster because I've forgotten about Willow's death, I am still devastated. I simply find that my best coping mechanism is to have another animal to focus on. I'm also definitely not putting expectations on Peanut to be 'just like Willow' or anything like that, just in case anyone was unsure.

Lovely news Freya. I would not dream of thinking that you were replacing Willow. That hamster shaped hole in your heart meant that you could give a loving home to the beautiful looking Peanut. You still miss Willow but gradually you will remember without the upset. The memories will be a comfort and then a joy. Now your heart is bigger and contains Peanut too.

Congrats Freya, Peanut looks adorable
So glad you found a new ham, of course you can never replace Willow but your heart is plenty big enough for Peanut too.

Peanut is soooo cute! I love white hamsters! I can see why you wanted her, I do the same thing when I lose a pet.
