I used to get very cheap National Express funfare day return tickets to London Victoria but not sure if they still do them.

Thank you for that. I will look that up.

It would be 2 hours there and then 2 hours back so maybe a bit much for a hamster. I also do not know how far away the place is from the station.

I don't know where the hamstery is either but mentioned it in case you see a hamster further afield, in any direction.

Thank you. You are always so kind and helpful.

Thank you.
Here's Gertie in her hide.

She looks like a queen sitting on her throne!

Gertie is a big round furball pancaking on my hand here after some freeroaming time. Gertie's idea of a fun freeroam is to check what edibles the other hamsters have dropped out of their cages in the spare room.
She gets bored quickly in the hall hamster playground and sits in a hide munching from her packed lunch. After all, toys aren't edible.

I wash my hands and pick her up when she comes to her door, then handle her and let her run around.
She comes back to me when she wants to go home so i put her back.

Every single time she goes straight to her sand bath jar for a good roll around!
To wash this human scent off her, no doubt.
She is very particular about human scents. She nipped my OH's finger when he picked her up. Did you wash your hands, i asked him. No, he said. Well, there you go, Gertie just told you to.
