These days Merry is a morning hamster. One morning he got up while I was working, I offered him up some free roaming time and he was out until about 10am!
Although he is stubborn: he was hiding under my desk drawers (I didn't know there was space under there until I had a hamster), so I got him out and offered him the chance to go back in his cage, but he refused. So I put him back on the floor, he went back under the desk drawers for five minutes and then wanted to go back in.
He also has me wrapped round his paws. A couple of times recently I have gone to go to bed and seen him at the front of his cage, looking cute, so I stayed up later and so he could run around. Although one of those times made me question that choice when he spent the first five minutes in a cardboard box. Because he doesn't have any of those in his cage...
