Default Re: Mania

Well Ive found her stash, didn't dig deep enough under her labyrinth house. Excluding the food I put in this morning, she has 50g worth. I'm going to monitor it over the next few days and see how quickly it starts to deplete.

If I'm honest Ria I'm only concerned because that's a lot of food and she hasn't even put on 10g since the time I got her. She's 151g. I weigh weekly, it's now habit from when pigs were babies lol. Oh well.

Even when I had Ghost, Lilith, Niko and Athena one bag lasted just over a month. The fact that she's cleared a bag in 3 weeks is mind-blowing.

Are those the bits Rory doesn't like? Ghost worked out that if he put it in his water bowl and left it it'd go soft and would enjoy snacking on it between naps.

The bits he doesn't like he leaves in his bowl, maze flakes and these round green things (peas?). He has an en suite toilet because he's a lazy git and won't come out of his house during the day. So he keeps a hoard under the toilet but also chucks food in his toilet but i'm not sure if that is surplus food or food he doesn't like. To this day i haven't been able to work Rory out. That's the black eyed cream Syrian.

So Ghost had worked out how to soften his food! That's funny.

I suppose it makes sense to Rory. If only they could speak. What would they tell us.

Yes I'm sure by accident but he kept doing it in his last few months with the green and orange biscuits which he didn't really like. Maybe they tasted better that way.

Odd question...does any one have/had a hamster which tried to pouch the clothing you're wearing? Does it have a meaning. Mania does it and I've not had one do this.

I've had a hamster that did that. In her case I think it could have been boredom - she was my first hamster and I hadn't discovered free roaming yet, but she was allowed on my lap. Once she was free roaming she still climbed all over me, but didn't try to pouch my clothes.

Wow it's been hot this past week. Hope everyone has managed ok in the heat and that your tiny friends have managed ok too.

Mania started to feel the heat a couple of nights and lay on her ceramic hides. I felt totally powerless seeing all my guys getting warm. They're all ok though but I had to keep a close eye on them all.

I hope that's the summer over and done with now.

The one i was most worried about was the one that didn't seem affected at all, Rory. He won't leave his house during the day and i thought he must be roasting in this heat. I took his roof off in desperation and replaced it with a half wood half bendy bridge roof to give his house some ventilation. Luckily, he's so laid back and lazy that he stayed in his nest watching while i gave him a sunroof.
All the others had more sense and moved into ceramic hides like Mania did.

Bless them. Apparently I've heard that we're having another heat wave 2nd week of August? Hopefully that doesn't come to much but who knows.

Wow I haven't been on in a while so here's a quick update.

Mania is still here and doing well. Still as crazy, nothings changed. I've had her 4 months now?

There's a ? Over her age now as I spoke to the staff some weeks ago regarding her as they were interested in how she was getting on, and they kept mentioning that at the time of adoption she was 9 months old not 5. I don't know if she's 9 months old or closer to 13/14 months. Her weight has always been stable so I'm inclined to think the latter. All the others that have been 6 months have still had some 'growing' to do and weights have shifted.

Mania is a little old lady now bless her. After she's gone I think I will have a little break from hamsters and focus on the pigs for a bit, but we'll see how that goes.

I really don't want her to go but have a suspicion that the rainbow bridge may be calling soon. She's been a pleasure to have and words can't even describe how lovely she is. Now excuse me while I get choked up 😭
