Welcome back! Strange world we live in, full of stops and starts right now! Lovely to hear your lot are still going strong. We lost Moo recently - about 2 years, 2 months old. Pickle is in his prime and a huge bundle of large hamster with thick fur. He has been skitty since Moo died (cage underneath his) so is getting lots of attention.

Ria that is difficult. We had the same thing with our first hamster Charlie after leaving him with a pet sitter/multiple hamster owner when we were on holiday. He fell in love (ish). A female hamster who apparently used to escape and climb up his cage! He was completely bonkers when he came back and very stressed and didn't really settle down again until I did a full cage clean and used vinegar on the cage and bars (well rinsed off afterwards). I think he could still smell the female and missed her!
