Description: Including standing up and flailing his arms about for balance! Orange flavored yogurt drops are his favorite and he doesn't get them very often, so goes a little crazy when he does!

"I'm sure I heard someone say treat..."

Description: This is Marbles home, 10gals aren't really big enough for Syrian hamsters but including a cage topper it makes extra space which is adequate for Syrian hamsters. This gives him plenty of space to climb and dig (although he prefers climbing more!)

Description: I brought some cheap plastic tubs from a home depot to keep most of my treats dry and sealed since not all packages are resealable. I can't remember exactly what each of these treats are, but will do my best to describe them. x1 tub of yogurt drops orange flavored, they were a bit big so cut them all in half. These are Marbles favorite treats x1 tub corn, he loves pulling the corn off of this x1 tub red berry snacks, again they were a bit big so were cut in half. They have soft centers and look like chocolate cereal. x2 tubs of red berry/nut balls. Pretty big so has one hidden in a cardboard present every time his tank is cleaned out. x1 honey stick, he still has the other in his tank, he'll probably get this one next month. x1 box of cheerios, I think I eat these more than he does! x1 box + tub of donuts, he's not really keen on these so has 2-3 in his bowl each time hes fed. x1 pack of dried cranberries, a very rare treat, not something I'd give him on a weekly basis. He prefers yogurt drops than these.

"I'M COMING OUT HUMANS!"

Description: I can't put my hand in the cage without him doing this every single time. He has associated the hand as the treat dispenser and lets him out to play so he gets very excited. I love when he climbs on my hand, I always let him out for a quick snuggle when he does this, I can't resist!

"Can I have a treat now please?"

Description: He's always super curious, if he thinks there's something going on he needs to be involved too! He's associated our hands with treats and being let out, so now he gets super excited when we come and say hello to him.

Description: This was the first day Marbles was brought home, he was very sweet and timid. Definitely was curious to meet his new owners, we couldn't wait to get to know him more. He definitely has come out of his shell since then!
