Hello!

[Strawberries]

Hi everybody, I'm Strawberries!

I browse this forum quite a bit and I figured I might as well make a profile and become a part of the community and start interacting with folks c:

I decided to have hamsters in my family again just recently - I had a winter white when I was younger and picked up my first syrian this September. I've since added a second, and plan on the final member of my family so far to be another dwarf when everything is settled.

My two syrians are both long haired males, one's a brown sable I've named Boo Bear, and the other is a brown and white fuzzball I've named Mister Chubbs because even though he's physically the same weight as Boo Bear, he looks very chubby due to his fur! Chubbs is about 5 months going on 6, and Boo is 4 going on 5 months.

I've got Chubbs in a 50 gallon sterilite bin and Boo in a 40 gallon breeder tank, and I'm saving up slowly for bigger tanks. My dream is 150 gals because they show up for cheap on craigslist every so often and in good condition for being used, but until I get lucky I'm working on saving up for 75 gals during the tank sales at the local petstores.

They're both total sweeties and have brought a lot of joy into my life. They also help a lot with dealing with my depression and I'm very grateful for them because of that.

Here's Mister Chubbs:


and here's Boo Bear:


My pictures are on the older side since they're busy little furballs when they're awake and won't sit still at all (especially when the phone is in range of them to sniff!) but I'm hoping I get my lucky break soon enough for a new batch of photos :P

Hi and welcome to HC, Strawberries, Mister Chubbs, and Boo Bear! I'm so pleased that Mister Chubbs and Boo Bear found their loving, forever home with you, Strawberries. I'm sure that you will have the greatest time making loving bonds with your precious hammies. Hams have a unique way of making everything in our lives all better just by being the lovable fluffballs that they are, and they are such loyal, sweet companions. Chubbs and Boo's personalities sound absolutely lovely, and they are totally handsome and adorable cutie pies. I love their gorgeous coloring and markings. I look forward to hearing all about them and their adventures and, of course, seeing more pics of them whenever they are more settled and you have the chance. Have fun with your little fluffies.
