Scottie

Oh yes! I watch cosmic hamsters. Love the new video.

I'll have a look at the other two. Is that Victoria Racheal? I don't know the Rachel got hamsters but will check it out. I used to watch Erin's animals sometimes but found myself disagreeing with some of the stuff she classed as safe and suitable.

Yes it is Victoria Rachael. I love Cosmic's videos. I am in love with Comet.

I know what you mean about Erin's animals. I too have disagreed with things. Here is a link to Rachel got hamsters. I find her very sweet and real.

Scottie went back in his taxi when he wanted home and just sits in there now without trying to jump up the sides.

I'm amazed at this little Robo. He's grown so much in confidence to ask for out of cage time.

I don’t know much about Robos, but they are clearly little hamsters with a lot of character and big personalities. It’s fantastic that you can interact with Scottie as you do and he enjoys his out of cage time as much as the others, he’s such a cutie.

Scottie comes to the front of his cage daily now and wants his mealworm or two. I offer him his taxi briefly but he hasn't climbed into it which is fine and his choice. He'll let me know when he wants out. Scottie was very interested in my thumb last night and kept sniffing and nibbling it.

His HH is on a dolly trolley so i could, in theory, roll him the short distance into the playground and open his door, maybe with a ramp or something leading down.
I'm not sure if that would be a good or bad move and need to think about it.

The idea of them walking out of the cage door into a playpen is good but I’m not sure about wheeling the cage to a different location. They can be stressed by the cage location changing.

I used to have a correx playpen I set up round the cage so I could leave the cage door open - but that cage was on the floor. It didn’t work that well - at first Charlie would leave the cage - then realised there wasn’t much to do in the playpen with the cage in the middle of it so he stopped bothering to leave the cage!

Yes, i've dismissed this idea already. It wouldn't be practical and you're right, moving the cage wouldn't be a good idea. Scottie walks into his taxi when he wants out and he doesn't often want out.
He was fluffing around all day today. Came running to the front to get mealworms and then came running a couple of times later when i entered the room but didn't walk into his taxi, only sniffed at it.
He does that sometimes and then walks straight in the following day. Often i just sit by his cage and chat to him while he runs around or sits in a tube munching.
We've established some kind of a friendship which is quite a novelty with Scottie being a Robo.

That is lovely and so sweet.
