Life Goal Achieved :)
I thought I would share this all with you as I know some of us have talked about it in passing on the forum. I finally got a hamster room. Yayh. The downside was we had to move and that was sooooo stressful, especially as both hamsters got ill at the same time (talk about timing)
Anyway, that was also one of the reasons I was quite quiet on here, had to find somewhere new to live and move with a chronic illness when I am housebound. Not an easy thing to do. I'm still recovering, been a very stressful couple of months, but at least I get a hamster room out of it

Re: Life Goal Achieved :)
I saw and commented on your video. It is so exciting to have a room for your hamsters. I can only imagine how stressful it was to move. Moving is stressful enough without being housebound. I hope you are happy in your new home.

Great hamster room, your cages look so cosy. Moonbeam is gorgeous, so tame and cuddly.
Wishing you all the best in your new home and hope you feel better soon.

That will look lovely once all your paintings are up and you have all the bits and bobs you want.
I had no idea Moonbeam is so tame and calm now. I remember her being a bit of a handful at first. Just shows what kindness and proper care can do to a hamster. They thrive and find happiness.

She walked onto my hand from day1, but I have had to work hard at trying to give her what she needs. She has settled down a lot, but I still wouldn't trust her with kids, you have to be able to read her body language for sure.
Also, when she was at the vets they had to give her a bit of gas so they could examine her, in their words she was a bit fiesty. lol. I sent her there with a note, saying she might try to bite if prodded too much, do i know my hamster or do I know my hamster
I often wonder if she would be a totally different hamster if she had a different start to her life. I can put her in a travel carrier not a problem, put her in a small cage with bars on the top or any barred cage for that matter and she will go mental.

Is everything okay? I noticed you disabled the comments. I hope nobody said anything upsetting to you.

Yes, i often wondered about that when Percy was alive.
How long did it take for Moonbeam to learn to trust you?
It took Rodney about six weeks but he was still a baby when i rescued him.
I think a hamster's age when they come to us plays a part. When they are a bit older their bad experiences with humans can become part of their personalities and they may always be on the defensive.
