Hello everyone.
I brought home a new little Syrian hamster today, adopted form my local Pets at Home. I went in there wanting a baby but then he looked at me with his little pink eyes and picked me. The store think he's at least a year old, he was brought in by a family who couldn't take care of him any more but I don't know too much more than that. He's very tame (I held him in the store but of course I'm leaving him alone for a couple of days now he's home) and very sweet. I'm watching him explore his new home and run in his wheel as I type.
I owned a hamster as a teenager (half my life ago almost!) but didn't have any more pets until today. My housemate finally said I could get a hamster, so I did!
He had a girls name (for a little boy? Not sure why!) but I've changed it now.
Say hello to Fitz! I took this photo in the carrier on the way home on the train. I'll get some better ones when I start to handle him once he's settled in.

Oh, and if you know what show I got his name from I like you a lot.
