Mr Nibbles Diary

I've never heard of a hamster that doesn't like walnuts

I'd try the yippees and vitakraft sticks then. They love anything with a bit of sweetness. Honey is not as bad as sugar and I've never had any dental issues with hamsters from yippees and vitakraft sticks. Occasionally.

If he likes monkey nuts then maybe just stick to those and pumpkin seeds.

Sorry for suggesting chicken if you're vegetarian. Some people think hamsters are vegetarian but they're actually omnivores. They love meat! But there are other options.

Oh I don’t mind people eating meat

and occasionally I have a steak at my mums. I also drink milk and eat cheese and eggs.
I am not as fussy as Nibbles

But he looks really good. His coat is shiny and he’s fully of energy, so I will try not to worry any longer.

What a sweetie! Can't wait to hear more from Mr. Nibbles.

Mr Nibbles works like a clockwork

Every evening he comes up for a treat when I clean his cage, goes back to bed and gets up half an hour later. He brings his snacks which he hadn’t eaten during the day back upstairs…
Then he stretches and starts cleaning himself. When he gets to the “diamonds” he usually has a poo

he picks it’s up and spits it away. Now I know this is common, but he spits it into the entrance of his house!!
As I can’t clean the house until I can take him out, I have had to be a bit inventive. When he is busy in his wheel, I fish the poop out with a long pair of tweezers

I will attach the video of his antics…

So funny - I can just imagine him picking up a poop and throwing it into his house

I would leave it personally - that is him tidying and deciding he wants the odd spare poop handy

They can actually eat their poops. They have two stomachs and can redigest nutrients from their poops so they like to have a few around as hard wired for food shortage.

Hi Nibbles here just wanted to say I am optimising my aiming… I don’t deliberately hit the porch

I got no nut today, I think mums broke! Caught her fishing out my poop with a stick, imagine that!
So I bought up my treasures, she can take one if she’s hungry.
I don’t want her to starve, who would clean my sticky wheel? I gave her a sniff today and put my paws on her arm

that made her so happy! I hope I get more nuts tomorrow. Bye for now and have a good spin on your wheels tonight

Aw you sound like you're having a nice time Nibbles. Shame no nut today - was there a different treat instead? I bet Mum is very happy you put your paws on her.

I read about that

he spits them so far it’s hilarious. Do you think
He’s saving them for a rainy day? I didn’t think of that…. Well
I fished about 10 out
