Re: Foster hamsters
Our Syrian boys paid an awful lot of attention to me last night when they were out on their individual freeroams. Middle aged Rodney, youngsters Jack and Clive and old boy Rory behaved in identical ways.
As per usual, i sat on the floor. They all climbed onto my legs, up my front, tried to chew off two buttons on my cardi, sat on my shoulder and clampered around my neck while sniffing, a lot. I'm not ticklish but hamster whiskers working overtime on my neck and face are in a league of their own.
A hamster always has an ulterior motive and then it suddenly clicked: they could smell the female hamster on my clothes and skin! And they were looking for her.
They didn't settle when i went to bed, Rory was pacing, Clive was chewing cardboard, Rodney asked to come out and Jack was comfort eating.
The scent of a woman has caused havoc in this house before but little beauty Misty was only here for a few hours.
