Hi I'm Ellie! New to HC but not new to hamsters! I live in Liverpool, UK!
Previously had two hamsters; Ivy when I was about 8/9. She was a grumpy Syrian who mellowed out in her old age. Sadly died shortly after having a tumour removed from her pouch. She died snuggled up in my arms.
When I was a teen I had a sparky little boy Syrian called Munchie, who really was so calm and tolerant of everything. He did like to chew everything though! He escaped once in the night and rather than explore the house he climbed into bed with me and woke me up when his whiskers were tickling my nose!! He was a cutie. He sadly died of old age (2.5 years) again he died snuggled up in my arms.
Now in my twenties I have a cheeky Syrian called Zwarte Piet (Dutch name-my boyfriend named him!) Got him to cuddle after my brother died suddenly.
He is a cutie, but he is an escape artist!!! He's about a year old now and recently had a 2 week escape in a friends attic while I was away on holiday. He's also escaped in the wall of my bathroom before and has tried to get under the kitchen a few times! He's a bit more shy than my previous hams, but he is friendly and completely tame. He is most confident around me, but around other people he still gets a bit jittery/freezes a lot. Never bitten anyone which I am quite proud of. He really is a sweetie!
So yeah, that's me and my ham!
Hello from Liverpool, UK!
