New hamster settling well

[flowerfairy]

I now have a lovely sable banded syrian boy. He has had a good look round his cage, pouched some food, had a wash and a wee in his sand tray and has retired to bed.

What a gorgeous boy he is. I chose him from a litter of 6. All gorgeous. He stood out to me due to his lovely ginger eye rings and even white patches on his back and most of all cos of his laid back friendly demenor.

Very happy right now.

Awww he sounds gorgeous - can't wait to see him

[flowerfairy]

Thank you emsmum. He is on his silent runner now. Such a great wheel. It looks massive compared to him!

Congratulations flowerfairy! He sounds lovely! Sables bandeds are one of my favorite Syrian colors! I’m exited to meet him! How many hams do you have know?

Congratulations ff. He sounds lovely. I detect a connection to a recent litter born in Hampshire! Looking forward to hearing how he settles in and seeing pix.

lovely to see the little chap enjoying that super wheel, he is a lucky boy. i'm hiding the screen from the other hamsters so they don't get jealous.

[Sasha04]

Oh my goodness! He is so so cute! I’ve just fallen in love with him! His cage setup looks lovely FF!

[cypher]

He is adorable, I love the eye rings too, handsome little man!

[Josie]

Congratulations flowerfairy, he is such a cute little boy, look forward to hearing more about your little bundle of fur :D

[mangoandmimi]

Aww he’s lovely. Agree that the eye rings are gorgeous.

[Emsmum]

Oh he is gorgeous- we have the same food bowl too

[flowerfairy]

lovely to see the little chap enjoying that super wheel, he is a lucky boy. i'm hiding the screen from the other hamsters so they don't get jealous.

haha, they are a bit young to be online!

He let me stroke him last night. Awww

Thanks for all your comments. Cant work out how to multi quote.

[Hammy992]

Aw he's adorable! Good to see and hear that he's enjoying his new home. I can't wait to find out what name you give the little guy :)

[flowerfairy]

Thank you Hammy. I have named him Tarak, it means star.

[Ruth Edwards]

That's a great name. Hope he's still laid back and cuddly

[flowerfairy]

Hi Ruth! He is gradually getting used to my hand in his cage. He is a confident boy and definately makes the most of his wheel! He is very keen on apple and cucumber.

Hope his brothers and sisters are doing well and that you find homes for the ones you are letting go.

[Thin Lizzy]

Congratulations flowerfairy on your new addition to you hamily, Tarak's gorgeous and so is his name, he's a star allright.

[flowerfairy]

Thank you TL. I really look forward to hearing him get up. I have a stool next to his cage where I sit and chat to him.

[SKB_Hamsters]

I have just discovered this thread, so congrats on your new boy. His name suits him perfectly and I’m so looking forward to hearing more about him.
I absolutely live his cage set up and he looks very happy in his spacious cage - a very fortunate and lucky boy to have an amazing home with you.

[Sasha04]

Tarak is such a pretty name!

[flowerfairy]

Thank you skb and sasha.

Tarak is really getting fluffy now (big awwwwws) and will take treats from me and sit and groom whilst I sit by his cage and talk to him.

He is just soooo lovely!

[Sasha04]

I’m so happy to hear he is doing great with taming! Looking forward to hearing more progress!

[mangoandmimi]

Good to hear things are going well with Tarak, it’s a lovely name :)

[flowerfairy]

The other night I got very excited because lovely Tarak got up when I was still awake (not happened for almost a week). So I got his play cage out (currently the grosvenor without the platform and ramp)

https://www.littlepetwarehouse.co.uk/products/the-grosvenor-large-rat-and-hamster-cage-with-shelf-grey.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiA_4jgBRDhARIsADezXcgieqq7b_ X-neC_oL3M_ODdkjRl6FHGUzEzqd-9MzKTvyh68DG1hGIaAiFgEALw_wcB

I then offered Tarak a wicker tunnel to climb into and placed him in the cage. I put in tunnels, a sputnik and food and he whizzed around looking cute and fluffy and sniffing the air through the bars. He allowed strokies as he sat eating.

It was lovely to spend time with him x

[Ruth Edwards]

so Tarak is a late riser then? how anti social. his twin, Bear, moved into the Duna multi maxi today. i superglued a piece of icecream tub over the hole that Daisy made, and Spot enlarged. he's enjoying having a wheel at last.

[flowerfairy]

Aw so glad Bear is enjoying his wheel! Great cage that. Naughty Daisy and Spot!

Any luck with homes for any of the babies? Post a few pics regularly and tempt people!!

Going to start a thread called 'Tarak' for future updates.
