Thank you all so much for the lovely messages, I’ve been telling cho cho how pretty she is too.
In an attempt to get her less territorial in the cage, I’ve been feeding her mix out of my palm every evening for weeks now when she comes out for a quick drink, then scatter feeding a bit too. I have to say it definitely works and it does get them used to hands. But as a result she’s started getting up about 7pm and expecting her dinner, then pouches the lot and then naps for another 3 hours or so. And when she wakes up later I think she forgets she’s already had her dinner and gets quite restless because there’s no more food out! Might just have to feed her half the amount twice now as I suspect her hoard is growing, I can’t resist feeding her extra as she looks so expectant!
She’s doing great though, really not had time to get the camera out unfortunately. I decided to start uploading her photos to my hamster Instagram. Nothing new on there yet but the idea is to keep up with it!
