These are my new little hams! The shelter said they are around two years old. Which would mean they are pretty old though they don't act it, so I'm hoping they still have a while to enjoy life yet
They look like winter whites in colouring (at least to my untrained eye?), but I would guess they are partially hybrids so no sugar or fruit for them. I have virtually no history on them or where they came from, only that they were brothers surrendered together.
The little guy in the wheel is Remus, and the one in my sister's hand is Romulus. Remus is a bit heavier (though not dangerously so), and loves eating. He's a bit more calm. Romulus is the feistier ham, constantly on the run and trying to get a break to freedom. They were both already incredibly tame when I adopted them, happy to take treats from anyone and run all over you. They lick more than nibble, which is just so precious <3 For my first foray into hamsters, I think they are the perfect little guys!
