An update on little Benny.
He is, as expected, thriving in the Spyro household! he's a mischievous little man with such a sense of adventure in his spirit
such a wonderful addition to my home
a real pleasure to watch and interact with.
I finally got some pictures that were viewable! Enjoy
Benny's Frozen Baby Food; x3 it was too cute not to share lol.
Benny enjoying the star shaped deliciousness; he eats a little over 1/2 teaspoon.
Benny just poking around his cage;
He's made about as much progress (in 3days) with taming as Charlie has done in the few weeks I've had him!
He was hopping out of his cage onto my hand last night, and running from hand to hand - only a few repetitions before his sense of adventure made him want to go further afield.
Once I figure out how to display 3 hammies aesthetically, in my sig, his is going to be Benny, the Explorer!
I am yet to weigh him again, didn't want to do it too soon. Hopefully at the end of this week he will have gained a good amount; on average now Charlie and Gloria seem to gain about 4g a week, so I expect to see a greater increase in Benny.
If I see 0 increase at all, I know there is something wrong and I will be taking him to see someone who can help me figure out what the cause is. He is high in energy, very alert and a very happy seeming little hammy, I see no signs of illness or problems.
He does make a breathy, squeaky sound (once) sometimes while he's in his nest and (I assume) sleeping. It's not quite a squeak, more like an inhaled breath with a squeak - its pretty loud
and only happens the once. I'm pretty sure it's him as its a noise that only began since he came along, and I'm the only one in the house. I'm not urgently worried, but does anyone know what it could be?
That's it for my little Benny update today
