Tic, Tac and Toe!

Well they don't have a thread here yet so thought I should start one

Tic, Tac and Toe came home on the 2nd June 2007, they are from a rescue in Pennistone - I'm not sure why their previous owners didn't want them but hey. (by the way, for anyone in Yorkshire this is a fantastic rescue - hammies, bunnies, piggies, mice, gerbils, rats, etc) They were about a year old when they came home, no one really wanted them because of their age. They're not as tame as I'd like them to be yet but I'm getting there. I can stroke them without them snapping round to bite me anyway

I find them quite difficult to tell apart but I'm working on that too! :P Tic and Tac are red eyed whites/albinos and Toe is a "normal" campbell. Toe is Toe because he's kind of the odd one out, Tic is Tic because he has a lighter nose and Tac is Tac because he has a darker nose (I in tIc and lIght, A in tAc and dArk) yes I know, very sad aren't I LOL.

Some pics of them :P

Those are lovely pics and they look to be very healthy, cute chunky hammies. Have you got a new camera coz the pictures are lovely?

Thank you

Nope, no new camera! Just been experimenting with settings and getting the hams to sit still is generally a big problem

Practice makes perfect...but I am looking forward to seeing 4 entries for the handsomest male competition this month from you! One of each

Hehe yep, it certainly does, just try getting them to sit still though! It's good to wake them up, get 'em when they're sleepy haha, but the dwarfies aren't too keen on me waking them up :P (Charlie just looks at me like "Oh, it's you again"

)

I never noticed there was a new photo comp, will have to get searching for some good photos I've taken or take some more :P

i know what you mean about age being a rehoming problem

we have Igor because he was over 2 years old and dispite his problems he's still going strong!

beautiful hams by the way and their colouring is lovely

Well done on rescuing some older hammies, it's a shame how overlooked these great pets can be.

TIP for handling, a gardening glove, means they can get used to handling without you fearing having your fingers chewed off, i use this for particularly nippy campbells and it works really well.

hope to hear loads more about Tic, Tac and Toe in the future!!
