Sweet Little Banjo

[PikaTay]

We finally got her! She is the sweetest thing, didn't bite either handler or us even though she was scared, she was super cute and not too hyper on the drive home, and she seems to love her new cage! She's taking a nap in her peanut as I type <3

Here's some pictures of her homecoming:





It was the nose that won us over. And her sweet little personality <3

I'll definitely have more pictures after she's settled in and calmed down!

Day 3.

So this morning I woke up and I looked over at my nightstand where I keep Banjo's cage. I was surprised to find her curled up right by my face in the cozy corner behind her digging box


(sorry, its hard to get a good picture of her from far away)

So cooed and awwed and then I went downstairs for breakfast. When I came back up she was in the same corner, having a snack. Like she wanted to celebrate breakfast time with me (hehe).

Yesterday she was still very skittish, running into her peanut whenever I made any little noise in my room. I left her to her own and tried to stay out of my room so she would have privacy - save for the mild cleaning I had to do after discovering a leaky water bottle problem (fixed now)

I went up to turn in for the night and was practicing my ukelele a little and suddenly she started to wander out. She stayed out the whole time until I went to bed, even when I went to her cage and said hi to her.

So this morning when I saw her munching there right next to me, I thought I would say hi. I took a little pinch of waffle in my fingers and waited at the top of the digging box. Not even 2 minutes later she started sniff-sniffing around and dug her way up to the waffle. She looked up at me for a second and then reached up and started nibbling on the waffle bit!

I can't believe she is already so brave <3 I think I will try a sunflower seed later when she is up again. What a sweet little girl XP

Welcome to HC - sweet little Banjo baby xx

No luck with hand feeding, she still runs around and plays and stuff when I'm in there. She sniffs my hand and such but she doesn't want the seed. I tried sunflower and pumpkin.

I think I might be freaking her out because I'm a little flinchy I've never been bit and I always wore gloves with my last hamster this is the first time I'm going bare handed.

What can I do to calm myself down? What does a little hamster bit feel like?

I wish I wasn't so scared. . . she's so brave and I'm the jittery one XP
