welcome Igor!

lau200 · 05-06-2007, 02:49 AM

another of my hamsters is Igor, a campbell's Russian hamster. he was adopted from my local RSPCA centre by myself and my fiance. he has had a bad life so far, he was abused and attacked by a dog they think

(he has been left with a hole on his stomach) he also has a deformed hand and is deaf

as a result of all of this he is terrified of humans. however he is coming along in leaps and bounds, he has started to eat food from my hands

he is such a lovely hamster, that i think it is only fair i share him with the world....

Hes adorable and he looks pretty healthy to me from the pictures! Glad hes coming around to hand taming

He is really sweet and looks so happy with you (and with his giant treat

)...I'm sure he already knows how lucky he is to have found you.

That's horrible.
So glad he's getting used to you! I bet he knows how lucky his is, patient is all it takes.

He is adorable and you are lucky to have each other. Its amazing what love and patience will do for a little frightened ham

Oh poor wee thing

He's obviously with a lovely owner now and you'll give him the best possible life

I really am so in love with dwarf hamsters, they're the cutest things ever
