Browney's thread

[cypher]

lol! he sounds a bit like Mickle was when she was a baby, not really interested in treats at all! Maybe he just didn't want Kiki to get the cornflake
He does sound like a really friendly little guy, I don't think you even need treats to keep this one happy!

It's a whole new world to me Cypher!
How can treats not be needed to keep them happy? Maybe I should just keep filling up his sandbath and watch him enjoy himself while he kicks it out haha

He is silly though. If I walk by the cage and he is awake then he will stop whatever he is doing and run to the side I am on and stand on his hind legs. If I put my hand into his cage, he will get all excited and be all over it checking it out.
He even jumps onto my hand so he can reach my sleeve and bite that! I still didn't try to touch him as picking him up (at the vet and for a quick health check when I first got him home) generally got a bad reaction with him jumping and clear signs of him being scared. So I would rather wait.
He is an absolutely adorable little thing! I just want to pick him up and hug him!

Browney putting his paws on your wrist/hand reminds of Archie who would do just that, as he got older he got fussier about what treats he liked.
It seems this little guy totally adores you and loves showing his affection. What a sweetheart!

It melts you heart doesn't it!

I'm sorry for the picture spam, but who can resist baby hamsters?

Here's Browney's sandbath:


Him washie washy


Enjoying his sandbath after I cleaned up his mess a bit. I wish this wasnt blurry! But I cant adjust the shutter speed on my phone


What is that on the outside of my cage?




Fast fast fast!!

[cypher]

lol! look at him go in that wheel, you can really see how fast he's going!
I love the two pics before that, too cute for words, definitely melts my heart

You could try putting something a bit bigger & deeper in his sand bath corner, even just a cardboard box with a bendy bridge/ladder to get in & out so he could have even more fun & you'd have less mess to clean up!

AAAWE penguin those pictures are to die for <3
He is so adorable

[Penguin]

Cypher I really love the picture of him running! I have a few of him mid - air as well but it just looks like he is flying haha
I was planning on getting him a corner toilet with a lid to keep most of the sand inside. I have to order a cage from zooplus anyway and as the shipping is free it's hard to resist buying a lot!
Can't get myself to completely deny him of the fun of kicking it out haha (I do think it's cute). If it gets too expensive I will go with your amazing idea though! I would never have thought of that!

And thanks mum! He is so easy to take pictures of though. He is so curious that he poses for the camera all the time

[cypher]

Well if you're ordering from zooplus have a look at these, Mickle has one in her play pen & it makes a great sand bath!
Some of those corner toilets are a bit small for a good kick around.

[Penguin]

How come I have never had a look in the bird section! That looks great! I will definitely order more than one of those!

[cypher]

You soon learn having hams that some of the best things aren't designed for them at all! I'm always browsing through both bird & reptile stuff to see what I can find for my little ones!
