Hi, as you obviously know, Bramble passed away at the weekend. She was an absolutely beautiful hamster in every way both in looks and in personality and was always very patient with me when I wanted to take her out of her cage, even when she was not very well and needed her teeth cutting and medication.
Everyone who met Bramble always commented on how sweet she was. Bramble was my first hamsters will always hold a special place in my memory. Below are a few Bramble pics...
The first 3 picutres were taken the night before Bramble was taken to the vets and passed away. You can see here she is not feeling her best as her ears are flattened down, but even so she still wanted to come and see you and looked very sweet.
The next photo was taken in February. Around this time Bamble started perking up after she had been through a difficult time loosing her fur and generally not looking too well and taking lots of trips to the vets. She made a real effort at pouching the entire sweetcorn you can see in the background!
The photo below is of Bramble in full bloom back in March 2007 when she was pregnant with her first and only litter. She proved to be a very loving mum and kept Teresa and I mesmorised watching her bring them up as it was the first hamster litter we had bred.
Finally, her is a photo of Bramble from not long after we bought her in February 2007. I had built her a huge (and I mean HUGE, Teresa thought I was mad) rotastak setup sprawling my entire desk space with lots of tubes which she loved.
Rest in peace Bramble, you will be really missed.
