Just this Sunday we got a couple of male hammies. It happened so suddenly (don't worry, I did research before hand).
They're really cool!
Well, Bebop is. He is the friendliest critter I've met since my ratty, Kazi. He's real sweet. I've got bit by him only twice. First time was my fault 'cause I thought he was awake but he wasn't... 2nd time was mostly my fault too. He was kinda squabbling with the other hammy.
Mr Z/Sir Sleeps Alot/Mr Narcky is the other hammy. As you might have guessed, he sleeps alot. I have only handled him once, and it was a very short time, 'cause he was trying to get a little nippy. It was in a mostly polite way, though. It was more of a "Put me down, you silly human, I didn't ask to be picked up" kinda nibble.
Bebop needs to be taught that I -like- having fingernails. I had that problem with both of my ratties. They find out you have these long nails that must be terribly uncomfortable, so they take it up on themselves to try to groom them off for you without asking first... Le sigh.
Anyway, I love the hammy experience so far... and boy is it fun watching Bebop take a bath ^-^
Anybody else out there with hammies? Seems like every one I know had them whilst growing up, 'cept me...
