Funny little things hamsters....

[Hope]

Loving reading all these

Phoebe - well where do I start, she is bonkers! Hammy of very little brain, I always think that she has a bit of a 'gormless' expression bless her, but very sweet none the less. She is hitting her teenage years I think as she does actually throw tantrums if I take something away from her or stop her doing something. She was persistantly chewing her water bottle nozzle (which thank god she has now stopped doing!) so I took it out, but she started shewing the hole so I put a peice of wood in the hole, wedged it in really tight so it poked out both sides. Well she went ballistic, she threw herself off the sides of her cage, and attacked this peice of wood like it was an arch enemy!! I have never seen a ham go so crazy!!
At ball time I use rolled up blankets and draught excluders to protect the furniture from being knocked and she will constantly bash into one corner of a blanket to gradully flatten it so that she can make her way over the top into the world beyond!! Its like you can see her little hammy brain working!

And Boris, well he is a pretty laid back boy, he always stands up on the shelf of his tank when he hears I'm about. He stand on his back legs like a meercat pose and looks for a hand to come down bearing mealworms. Sometimes he gets a bit too over excited and walks backwards and falls of the shelf - very funny, especially as he tries to be so 'yeah but am I bothered though!'
He also is a secret wheel user, sometimes I will catch him wheeling, but as soon as he sees me he gets off and looks all 'no not me, I dont do exercise'! Bless him!
