Today was a big day for the animals in our household!
My hamster babies are old enough to handle now so everybody got a short taming session and we moved all the hams into an upstairs bedroom with some new shelving so there are no longer 11 hamsters crammed onto the kitchen table
Also, Silver and Dragon got upgraded to their super new cage! Two huge cabinets joined together with tunnels and lots of custom made fleece for Silver´s feet, they were so incredibly happy! I was worried they would be afraid of the new cage but they jumped all over the shelves making their happy noises as they explored, it made me so happy since I´ve only heard them make that noise when they get treats or are bouncing around during playtime.
.......and the biggest change of all was Sid! As I said in another post we have decided to add another boy to the family, we went with a trailer to see Sid and his cage today but the cage wasn´t too great so we just took the chin I was going to wait until after Christmas to bring him home but with the hamster area cleaned out now there is room for him to have his quarantine in the kitchen area. It was a pleasure meeting him in his familiar surroundings, he was super friendly and came up for a chin scratch, arm up in the air and such a blissful expression on his face! When we got home he went straight inot Silver and Dragon´s old cage and he is pretty freaked, I reached in to give him a stick and he stood up and kacked at me so I´m just leaving him alone for now. Hoping that after a few days he remembers that he liked people and lets me give him a bit of a scratch again
Here is another photo of him from his sale add, his old owners seemed really nice and we are keeping on touch via facebook so they can see how he is going.
