Default Re: Mistress Poppy

Something from Poppy that is new to her Itinerary of behaviour, I have called it "Splat Hamster" she was the other night looking rather dead so I lifted her bendy bridge off of her and she was just laid there totally un moving like she had fallen from a great height and had gone "Splat".
I stroked her and she didn't move and I was rather worried, eventually she did move in a way that indicated that she was in a very very deep sleep I had wondered if she was in a state of Torpor but that house is warm and her nest area is very deep with bedding..... I will be watching her even more closely as she is a mischievous little pudding.

I wish I had my phone on me earlier as I was sorting out Poppy's fresh food tonight and I had a whole mini courgette from my garden put it down to sort things out in Madams cage, Poppy appeared from her house grabbed the Courgette and made off with it, I creased up laughing and left her too it I wasn't going to raid her house for it after such a brazen piece of Ham-thievery.

Gave Poppy's cage another little clean yesterday, yes she sulked as usual I took the time to weigh her ladyship and Poppy is a steady 249g...!
I also thought I would try her on a free roam again well it was her idea as she decided not to pose for photos but hoon off down behind the sofa like a thing possessed, but after a few mins she went straight to the electric cables to chew on them...! So its back to the ball for her as I don't really want Poppy to end up as Unlucky Fried Hamster....

But Rads! Poppy doesn't know that electric cables are dangerous. Can't you encase them or move them out of the way, unplug them temporarily? Or let her run in a hall, up and down stairs? It must be tough to be trapped in a ball after having experienced the freedom of free roaming.

I'm starting to sound like Henry......

Mistress Poppy and the courgette cracked me up, what a grand weight she is, beautilicious and curvy. Stunning pics, that little innocent face gets me each time. Loved catching up on her adventures.

TL long time no speak..! Great to hear from you I trust all is well.
I weighed Poppy again the other night and she is now 249g...!
She is a very determined Hammy and surely knows her own mind yet on the other hand she is totally bonkers.
It is odd it is as though she is an amalgamation in character of our previous Hammies, She has the cheekiness of Forrest, the Divaness of Pip and the Feistiness of Ghost.. This means she is quite the handful at times. She also has this pleading look that is hard to resist, I will post some more pics soon.

Hi Ria/Henry

I wish I could encase them in something, unplugging them isn't really feasible as I would have to move much furniture etc.
As we live in a small cottage there isn't a huge amount of room, and Poppy is the queen of getting under and behind furniture etc, especially as she is now rather large 249g at last weigh in. I try to give her some free time on the sofa but she just makes a bee line for the back of the sofa to throw her self down to back to the floor she does seem to have no fear.
So if she wants out she has to have the ball.

So when I came home this morning from my shift (04.00) Poppy was in one of her construction phases, she was digging a trench in her substrate almost the length of her cage she has moved all this substrate to her nest and took it inside and has raised her box a good few inches upwards I could hear her scrabbling/digging inside her nest box and watching the box move up a bit at a time. I wonder if she senses the change in season and makes her house more warm and comfy?
I am going to do some construction to her cage of my own, I intend to make the end of it a large sand box area as she does love digging in sand, I have a 25Kg bag of childrens soft play sand which I will bake in the oven to thoroughly dry out and make sure it is fully sterilised. will take pics once it is completed etc.

My Dear Henry, Percy,

I must apologise as I have not been in contact for sometime of late, well one does have many hamster things to do, these do have a high scale of importance I am afraid.
I am still being trapped in the ball thing if I want out of my cage, though I did get away for a little while the other night, I was so quick even Big Paw could not catch me and I stayed aloof for quite a while, when he did get hold of me I was scolded and put back in my cage and was not given any treats that night either..... How dare he deprive me of treats that is cruel and unusual punishment.....!
I do have some news, Big Paw has informed of a major make over/renovation of my cage, he has told me he is going to build me a big sand pit to dig in and use for my ablutions at the end of my cage apparently it will go the whole width of my cage...!
I have been informed on the Ham-Net that Big Nose has brought a new interloper into your home, from what I have read it is even smaller than Percy how do you see this thing called a Robo, does that mean it is mechanical like a Robot? I have been lead to believe that this miniature fur ball will not stop running on its wheel, how do you sleep with all this noise going on?
Big Paw has said he is going to share some pictures of me too..... I wish he wouldn't he does try to get me at my worst...!
