Scottie

He's gorgeous! He looks very happy sitting outside that house. I like the spoon idea and glad he's using it.

Aww. Clever idea of you to use a spoon for his water.

Scottie is such a cutie, what a sweet photo of him drinking from the spoon. Fantastic set up looks super homely.

Thank you all.

Scottie had gone underground and i was getting worried that he doesn't like his new habitat.

The spirited little man is back! I vacuumed around his cage and had planned on a sneaky, quick vacuum of his tube but he soon put a stop to that.

He came rushing out to check what's going on and then sat in his tube! Sometimes i really think that hamsters can sense what we are up to.

So i gave him a mealworm and abandonded the hoovering.

Oh he is just so cute! It is great to hear he is back to his usual self.

[Pebbles82]

Lol! He is guarding his tube. It's my mess - Hands off!

Some male dwarf hamsters including male Robos have a musty smell about them. So, i decided to spot clean Scottie's HH and got everything ready, bucket, bag of kaytee and removed all his movable furnishings.

Of course Scottie run straight into his tube to watch.
I turned the substrate over with one hand and sniffed. As expected, no damp patches because a Robo's pee seems to evaporate. No smelly substrate either so i left it all in.

Can't wipe the wheel today because then he would get annoyed. He was very tolerant of my hand in his home, sat there and watched, then gracefully accepted a couple of mealworms to say thank you. Quick sniffing inspection and he went back to bed.

I think i got his set up right. When i clean something he has the shelves and transparent tubes to go to so he's out of the way and somewhere enclosed but can still watch what i'm doing.

That's Scottie a little while ago

That is one relaxed looking robo, Scotty looks like he's settling in nicely! I'm agreed with you, hamsters do seem to be able to sense our moods or big events.

He is way cute and so full of personality! X

I think Scottie is feeling the heat. He surfaced to doze in his tube this afternoon.
