I cleaned out Gerald’s cage the other day. I always thought that Gerald was a good eater, it seemed like he was eating allot more lately, he has a mixed diet of a basic hamster seed as well as lab blocks that I offer. It seems like every other day or so I need to fill up the food dish again, everything is gone, the lab blocks and the seed mix (besides the green alfalfa pellets that all hamsters leave behind
)
I lifted up the igloo he sleeps in to give him a chance to come awake from him long nap and couldn’t help but laugh when I saw this huge fluffy hamster peering up at me with sleepy eyes literally sleeping on a mound of food! Forget nesting material there was non, he was literally sleeping in a nest made of seed and lab blocks which he had gathered from who knows how long!
It reminded me of the dragon who steals and hoards all the gold it can find then sleeps on a mound of it while to protect its treasure lol, so cute, thought id share
