Charlie is home :D

[Jane]

Yay, an hour ago I met the person outside homebase to collect the new hammy :D The person he was born withnamed him Mousey, think that might be changing though, not sure ;) (he was really only named it so there was something to refer to him as, instead of the 'dove syrian') He's only been in his cage aobut 20 mins but he's had a drink and explored so far.

Going to borrow my grandads camera for pictures this afternoon, but until then, he's ADOOOOOORABLE :D

Jane

edit: He is now a Charlie ;)

[Jane]

just so your not in too much suspense, this was him last week - http://www.hamsterforum.co.uk/gallery2/v/nooboo/nooboo/babyhamsters/dwi/30days/mousey1.jpg.html he's a dove syrian if anyones interested ;)

any name suggestions? :P

[Lucinda]

He's fab :)

[KimmiesGuineas]

I don't know why, but Spike and Dot just come to mind ::). He's very pretty though!

[Sehnsucht]

Jupiter?

[katiep]

Aw he's lovely! I agree, Spike is cute, he's an unusual colour isn't he? You could get away with a grand name for him, like Caesar or Hannibal (actually, maybe not - think Silence of the Lambs put the kaibosh (?) on that name!!). You could call him Silver, or Twinkle...

[Jane]

He's now a Charlie :) Hope you like it!

[kellyandpiggies]

More photos of Charlie.. pleeeease! :)

[lolseh]

He's now a Charlie :) Hope you like it!


So you didn't use any of the names I said ;D

[Jane]

I hope you weren't all hoping for 100 brilliant pics ::) No idea why but all the pics I've took today have turned out crappy except for one, and the one that wasn't crappy dad took ::)

I promise I'll get more tomorrow.

[kellyandpiggies]

awww what a cutie!

[KimmiesGuineas]

He's adorable! Is he settling in well?

Kimmie


Yeah he's fine. Been sleeping a lot, eating and drinking fine, lovely and tame (that's mainly because he was hand reared and where he came from). Oh and also no signs of wet tail, so that's good!

(for anyone who has no idea what I'm talking about, wet tail is a disease which Syrian hamsters can get from stress where they have diarrhea and a really dirty bottom, and most of the time the hammy dies unless it gets immediately to a vet quick enough. http://www.petwebsite.com/hamsters/hamster_wet_tail.htm)

[bevs]

He's a sweety Jane :D

[Jane]

Thanks.

More pics I took today while we both had an adventure in the (dry!) bath :P

and for anyone interested, this is how the water bottle stays on:

I used two of the suction cups from the 'sippy' water bottle and garden wire. I wrapped the gardening wire around both of the suction cups and put a bit of tape over "just in case". It probably didn't need the tape but puts my mind at rest ;)
