Please welcome the newest edition to our family, the hamster with no name ....
It all started last Wednesday with a trip to P@H to buy some frozen blood worm for my mum's rescue newt (came from RSPCA, and sadly can't be released).
OH was in shop next door looking at beds as I said I'd only be a minute, I walked past the adoption side and saw a tiny grey bum and fell in love !
Her story is she was handed into another branch as the owners were moving and couldn't take her with them, she'd been there since April and as she's very nervous no-one was interested so they moved her to this store.
The first time I saw her face was when she came out of the box and oh my, she looks like a tiny bush baby, she has HUGE black eyes.
So far I've pretty much left her in peace, just changing food and water. Anytime I opened the cage she shot into house, but last night she was out and sniffed my hand It's going to take time to gain her confidence, with my other hammies it was much easier (syrians, robos, and campbell), but she's gaining in confidence each day.
Any advice on taming will be greatly received, she's so tiny I'm actually quite scared I'll never be able to handle her
