Hamster piccies! :)

Gave my little Russian hybrid hams a complete clean out this afternoon and took some pics.

Bot hams are well over 2 and I am so chuffed with how they are doing especially little Rogue my tripod ham! They both aged loads after Christmas but I started giving them baby food and the results are incredible! They had lamb hotpot baby food today :lol:

Rogue first;

Her cage almost done








Cage with everything in now


Go away!!!




Now Storm















That's not how you are meant to use a flying saucer!




TUNNEL!!!

They're gorgeous, and I love that they're named after X-Men :lol: I had a Rogue too.

Thank you

Originally they were a trio and the third one was called Phoenix (known as Jeanie most of the time)

At the point at which I brought them home we had 5 pets; Thor, Loki, Rogue, Storm and Phoenix :lol:

I noticed the Thor and Loki in your sig and figured it was safe to assume you'd gone the marvel route :lol: One of my hamsters is Odin (Odin Oakenshield in full!) but I was orgionally going to call him Gambit... He suits Odin more though, so Gambit will be my next hamster :lol:

Oh yes we are very into comics here, my OH works from home running an ebay comic shop. He is also a massive Joss Whedon fan and is sooooo happy that Joss and Marvel are now so interlinked :lol:

Gambit is an awesome name for a hammy, most of my fave characters have normal sounding names now though, well unless I want a deadpool :lol: Or a Colossus... Maybe not the best name for a hamster :lol:

I love Odin Oakenshield as a name, Tolkien is a firm favourite of mine, I read them all as a kid and now love the films too

ETA- Nova, I quite like that as a hammy name plus Nova is pretty cool in the Ultimate Spidey :lol:

Beautiful! I love my hams I have 4 hehe.

Wolverine is my favourite... My future dog will be called Logan :lol: I do love Gambit though (in the animated series, obviously :lol: ). I think Colossus would be an awesome name for a hamster, especially a dwarf hammy! As would Beast :lol:

I've had a mouse called Frodo too, and helped Vegan_Bunny name her rabbit Shadowfax. Not to mention the amount of hours I've spent playing Lord Of The Rings Online... :lol: I love being in Middle Earth!

Awww I fancy a baby Syrian or at least a very tame one, I have pretty much always had dwarf hams and the 2 Syrians I have had years ago were both p@h ones terrified of being handled. I was too young to really persevere with taming them so I've never had a good relationship with a Syrian next time maybe!

Lol no worries there. Have you read the astonishing x-men? Wolvy is hilarious in that :lol: I actually laughed out loud when reading it which is very unusual for me :lol:

Wolvy and Gambit together would just be the epitome of cool wouldn't they?

The first time I read LOTR I actually hated Frodo :shock: I missed Bilbo :lol: then the black riders appeared and I was about 9 and they freaked me out too much so I stopped reading :lol: I read them again a year or so later just before the films came out and loved Frodo to pieces. He is awesome!

No, I've tried reading a few of the comics and I just can't get in to them. I really need the stories written in novel form rather than comic/graphic novel, does such a thing exist? :lol:

I can understand why you hated Frodo, but it's Tom Bombadil I hate. I really, really hate him. I'm so glad he wasn't in the movies :lol: With playing the game I hate a few of the characters for the quests they give. Nothing to make you hate a character like being forced to kill a horrible boss, only for the character to pull the boss on to them and reset the darn thing :lol:

I don't know, I do know what you mean though, I struggle with the comic format, I read really fast and find it gets very disjointed when I have to stop myself from reading and actually look at the pictures, otherwise I end up getting very confused :lol: I don't tend to read all that much really, accept back when I was at uni and procrastinating, I got through loads then although it was independent publishers mostly.

I found astonishing x-men worth it though as it was written by whedon and therefore the characters were really good and he somehow made everything funny :lol:

Frodo just seemed like a pale imitation of Bilbo :lol: but then I recently tried to reread the hobbit and felt the same about Bilbo :lol: I really must get that out and actually read it this time!
