Hallelujah Tarak has his own thread, thank you flowerfairy for showing off your stunning , fluffy, soft, long haired beauty. He gives me goosebumps. So looking forward to loads more flufflicious pics of your beautiful boy. Absolute Bliss!

[flowerfairy]

Mzwiwy he is expressive, its partly because of those nice eye rings I reakon.

More flufflicius pics as soon as I can TL. The moment I first saw him my heart just lifted. He is so sweet and steady. A real blessing. I love him!

[mangoandmimi]

Aww Tarak's looking lovely and fluffy there. Such a gorgeous boy, and he seems to be enjoying his play cage :)

[Rads]

Flowerfairy, Tarak is a cracking looking little fellow, he does seem to have a very expressive little face. I shall look forward to seeing more of him and his progress.

[hisnameispip]

He looks a lot like my hamster, only a different color. But definitely the same face and pleasantly curious expression :)

[Cotton]

Tarik is gorgeous! Look at that expressive little face.

[BorisPasha]

Tarak is gorgeous ff :D Can't wait to see more of him :)

[flowerfairy]

Thanks guys. I am besotted!

[Sasha04]

Tarak is just so handsome! He is my dream hamster color/fur type! Looking forward to seeing more photos!

[flowerfairy]

Thats so nice Sasha! Will take pics when Tarak and I are next up at the same time!

[Thin Lizzy]

I'm not at all surprised you're besotted with Tarak. He gives me goose bumps.

[flowerfairy]

Thank you TL for that lovely comment.

[flowerfairy]

Took more pics tonight. He is over 2 years old now but you would never know it.

[Ria P]

I'm another one drooling over Tarak! He is a lovely, babyfaced hamster and looks nowhere near his age.

Is he eating popcorn? Didn't know hamsters like it.
I love those tiny, colourful plates.

[LunaTheHamster1]

He is a cute fluff ball Flowerfairy. Love the little plate.

[flowerfairy]

Hee hee got the plates on ebay. Dolls house plates.

He is eating rodipet hamster food and soaked oats (separate plates). He loves soaked oats as does my robo, Rafferty.

I am still utterly captivated by his fluffy beauty.

[Coco61]

Still a beautiful boy ff. Lovely to see Tarak again.

[flowerfairy]

Well the little darling is still with us. He is a bit doddery but still plays on his wheel and eats his soaked oats.

Some old pics

[flowerfairy]

More recent old man pics

[Savannagh]

He might be an old man, but he's still cute.

[Ria P]

And he's kept his hair and teeth which can't be said of most human old men.

[flowerfairy]

He is cute. Haha yep still got hair and teeth.

He has soaked oats twice a day and always eats them all.

[flowerfairy]

I took out the shelf and ramp and made his food and water easily accessable.

He passed away peacefully on the 16th of August. I found him the next day looking relaxed. He would have been 3 years old on the 24th of August. What an amazing, easy going beautiful hamster.

Rip Tarak my little sweetheart, thank you for your companionship x

Still have my roborovski hamster, Rafferty.

[Ria P]

I am so sorry to hear of Tarak's passing but what an incredible age he lived to. Nearly 3 years old.

Play well at the rainbow bridge beautiful Tarak.

[Charlie Dunn]

An incredible age indeed. To have passed peacefully is such a blessing. Play well at the bridge Tarak x

[Pebbles82]

So sorry Flower Fairy - he was an amazing age and passed in his sleep at home - I am glad his end was peaceful.

[Coco61]

So sorry to near the news about Tarak. What an age he lived to.
Peaceful passing at home was the best.

[flowerfairy]

Thanks all. He is the longest lived hamster I have ever had. He was weak on his back legs for a while but still managed to get around.

Rafferty (roborovski) has now moved into Tarak's old cage, the elmo xxl. Perfect for a dwarf hamster.

100 x 54cm and 35cm high.
