Thought it would be easier to have one thread for me to post pics and little updates on him :) Here's some recent pics :)

He is Gorgeous!

Silver xxx

[jesselle]

Aw I love him! His coat is such a nice colour :) keep updating, I love his amazing story :)

[Liz47]

Thanks both :) Took some pics last night, I was spot cleaning his cage so had to pop him in his ball but he seemed to enjoy pottering about. Had to shut the rabbit in his pen as he was rather interested in the strange creature rolling round! :lol:

He likes this pouch

[Bright_moon]

Aw! I love how you had to retrieve him from behind the cushions! My Tilly's just the same - adores burrowing!

[jesselle]

Ow welly! I love him :) He looks so much better than when you first got him! He's lovely and plump :)

[PandaBaby]

Awwwww so cute!!!

[Liz47]

Been away for a night and when I got back I was saying hello and he came out of his bed to see me He seemed wide awake so thought I'd have him out for a bit, and he was introduced to his first sand bath! He didn't seem bothered although I know there should be a lot more sand and a deeper dish but I have ordered something which would be perfect, so I just popped this down for him in the mean time.

A video as he doesn't stay still for pics!!

[Bright_moon]

He is such a sweet little boy, I love his happy explorer face! My useless Internet would only let me get halfway through the video, my connection is so slow that it just kept buffering and freezing. :(

[RachK]

Awwwww he is adorable. He has the perfect little waddle when he walks too. :)
And may I add what a fabby name he has. :)

[PezPus]

awwws! he is so cute! ^_^
Love hamster vids, makes me so happy :D

[jesselle]

[Liz47]

Hehe, thankyou all :D Here's a few more pics of the little man, haven't been on in a while as I have been busy just starting college. Doing Level 3 animal management :D Lord Wellington of Hamchester the 3rd is doing well, I have just ordered some of silvers mix for him so hopefully he'll like that.

[Liz47]

Thought you were due an update, apologies I haven't been around for a while! Wellingtons doing well, currently moving house by the looks of it, he's in the process of moving all his bedding from under his bridge to the pink housey thing haha! He's now on silvers mix and recently has become so much more lively, playing and exploring all his things he previously didn't bother with and before he never used to climb anything but now he does and I actually saw him climbing the bars the other day, didn't get very far though bless him! Anyway here's some pics x

[Biscuit]

Awww! He's soooooooooooooooooo cute! Love his little face in the fourth pic! He doesn't look to happy about being woken up! XD xxx

[jesselle]

Welly :) he look to be doing really well, he looks lovely!

[amie]

Wellington is a real sweetheart. I agree with Biscuit about the 4th photo. Adorable shot.

[RachK]

The picture of him having just woken up, just so adorable! :)

[Leesha]

I love Wellington! I just moved Phoebe into the KIOS so I'm hoping she can shift some weight by climbing the bars once she figures out she can haha! :p

[Liz47]

Hello, some more recent pics of my little guy, he's doing well :) Sorry I seem to only pop on every now and again to only post pics of Wellington and lurk, I am going to try to be about and post more :)

Fluffy bum :lol:

http://i930.photobucket.com/albums/ad147/Lizzy47/temporary-156.jpg

His latest hobby, climbing the bars and doing this from the roof :roll: He isn't too great a climber though and falls often so I bought a fabric house/den thing which hangs from the roof so he can sit in there if he wants to be up high or if he climbs the bars and falls it's there to catch him

[jesselle]

Naughty welly! Nice to see him :) glad he's still going strong!

Have you thought about adding more substrate or maybe some underground toys (loo rolls, boxes) to try and stop him climbing?

[Liz47]

Naughty welly! Nice to see him :) glad he's still going strong!

Have you thought about adding more substrate or maybe some underground toys (loo rolls, boxes) to try and stop him climbing?

Thankyou :) yes he has a big pile of deep substrate in one corner of his cage which he can climb so he can see through the bars as when I walked past or was talking to him or one of my other pets in my room he stands on his back legs as if he's trying to see and will try climb the sides so he can now climb up on the pile and see which he does when I get him his breakfast. He also has a loo roll burried in the pile which he sometimes digs in/through and gets various different boxes some burried. Thanks for the suggestion though :)

[amie]

I've enjoyed seeing some more photos of Wellington. He's a little monkey climbing and chewing like that. Is he using the water bottle to lie on to stay in that position chewing?

[RachK]

Oh hi Wellington! Nice to see your cute little face once more. :)

[Liz47]

I've enjoyed seeing some more photos of Wellington. He's a little monkey climbing and chewing like that. Is he using the water bottle to lie on to stay in that position chewing?

He sometimes does yes, well did, thankfully he doesn't seem to be doing it anymore since I added a few more things and the hanging house to his cage.

[Liz47]

Have a sad update, Wellington passed away at the start of July :( I don't know why, I saw him all curled up and breathing heavily, picked him up and held him but he wouldn't open his eyes and shortly passed away. I don't get on here much but came on as I'm starting to miss having a hamster, especially since I've lost a few more pets recently but not sure I'm ready for a new one.

[jesselle]

Aw liz :( I'm sorry to hear it but I'm also really happy he got a chance at a great life with you. Sleep tight welly, lovely little guy xx

[Gazmo]

im so sorry :(

[zany_toon]

:( ((hug)) I always think it's worse when it's unexpected because we don't get a chance to say goodbye properly :( Rest in peace little Wellington x

[RachK]

I'm so sad to hear this. Little Wellington was always one of my forum favourites. Sleep well little man xx
