Hi everyone! I've always enjoyed other member's monthly threads and have always wanted to do my own.
I figured i'd start with a little bit about me - I'm just about to finish my last year of college and i love animals especially small mammals and geckos (although i don't own any). i enjoy art - especially scrap booking and art journalling.
With my introduction done id like to start this month looking back on some of the hamsters I've owned from the year 2013 up to the hamsters i own now. Today i'll be sharing with you all my past Syrians.
The first ever hamster i got was this adorable black and white banded syrian who i named Patch, i knew nothing about hamsters apart from the very basic knowledge so he ended up living in a rotastack cage for 3 months before i educated myself and started making bin cages. He was my absolute heart ham and the tamest little boy, he lived to 2 years and 2 months despite having some health problems!
The second Syrian to enter my life was this crazy golden banded who was appropriately named Hurricane because thats what she was, a disastrous, messy lil girl who always wanted attention. i came to have hurricane after a family friends daughter didn't give her any attention and i never knew her exact age but i had her for a year and 2 months.
The third Syrian was a black and white dominant spot male who i fell in love with when i saw him in pets@home. He was called Midnight and I tried my hardest to tame him but he just always hated hands and would jump if you did pick him up. He'd take treats from me and that was enough. He sadly passed away far too young but i enjoyed the time i had with him.
That's it for today, tomorrow i'll go through some of my past dwarf hams with everyone however i really liked Drago's QOTD idea from last month so would like to continue that
Today's question is: what got you into hamsters as pets?
for me i had a friend in high school who had a Syrian and she let me hold/stroke her and i fell in love and knew i wanted my own.
