New Hamster! VIDEO TOO!

So today I just got another hamster. Its an albino Campbell and its a BOY! He's still a little baby and I love him already. When I went to the Pet Store I asked out of the two campbells I thought were the cutest which was the nicest. My intentions were getting a pair of robos, but I didn't have the money to as I still needed to get other things for Peaches (my Syrian). Anyways the lady said that the Albino one was nicer than the Gray (I forgot the actual term for the color) one so she let me hold it. When she went to grab him she chased him for a bit, but she eventually caught him and didn't need a box or anything, she used her bare hands. I liked this because when I got Peaches from Petco the lady was poking her with the pen (awful right). Anyways, I held him and he was a little squirmy, but you can expect that from a young hamster. I thought he was really sweet so I got him.

I got home probably 30 minutes ago and I put him in his cage as soon as I got home. He is staying in a Habitrail Space Station and blue Ovo until I can make another bin (more room). Wow he loves his little wheel though and is pretty fast. I had a feeling I might get a ham today, so last night I started looking up names. I wanted to do something different and I'm not really 100% sure what I want to name him yet. These are the names I've thought of so far:

Haru
Toki
Tombo
Yin
Yang
Dumpling
Yogi

I'm not really sure yet, lol that's a lot of names.
Anyways here is a video of him: http://s533.photobucket.com/albums/ee33 ... 081202.flv

Awww what a gorgeous little hammy you have there. Does he have pink eyes? Albinos have pink eyes but in the film he looks like a black eyed white Campbells. He is adorable

He definately has pink eyes. The video is low quality because I took it will my cell phone so you probably can't really see details.

Toki is lovely!

Thanks, but I think he might have diabetes sadly.

Are you sure? That's really unfortunate

I'm not 100% sure, but for now his diet is strictly no sugar until I'm positive. When I get paid I'm taking him to the vet to make sure its not something else. Besides the excessive drinking and urinating he is doing just fine!

Oh no that's sad, I hope it's not the case! Toki's a great name!
