Oscar (dwarf hammy)

.... also playing in the bathroom (not with the gerbils I hasten to add!) and also being gross, eating a mealworm. :mrgreen:

I love it when he eats because he hunches up and looks like a fat little ball. :love::lol:

Are the dwarfs easy to handle?

They're quite quick when they want to be. :shock: :lol:

They're apparently less tolerant of 'clumsy handling' so are more suitable for teenagers or adults. Oscar was from a breeder so was very well handled from a young age, so I do think that's helped too. He's awake for quite long periods during the day too, so we get to see a fair bit of him.

He's quite a little piggy though - if he knows you've got food in your hand he reaches up and scratches away at you until you feed him. :lol:

:lol::lol::lol: We must be lucky, the gerbils are pretty slow and tend to just sit on your hand. Put them on the floor though and they're like a pair of rockets. :lol::lol:

Only if you bring your camera. ;)

(actually maybe its best i don't know........... ):shock:

He's small enough to fit in some quite small places, that's all I'll say. :lol:
