Higgins

Happy gotcha day Higgins! He looks like he is having a ball, I love the picture of him in his tube. Are Syrians calmer than Winter Whites? He looks so relaxed, not a care in the world. Must be one happy little guy

I wouldn't call him calm to be honest He is very "darty". Unlike Tino who is the more relaxed one. But yes generally Syrians are a more relaxed species, with exceptions. They are not slow, but generally slower and more manageable than dwarf hamsters, if that makes sense. In some ways (some might disagree with that!). They can be quite sensitive and easily stressed though. Maybe not as boisterous in personality as dwarf hamsters. I have never actually had a winter white so I can't compare really.

They are a nice big handful! I would love to have a russian dwarf hamster, but I'm apparently very allergic to that species. Never had a problem with Syrians or Robos.

Higgins a couple of nights ago with his nearly bald carrot cottage. He also had a good romp on the sofa. I had a video of that but I seem to have had my thumb over it so nothing came out!

Such a cute pic. He's like a big meatball.

Aw thank you He was out again and I have a video but haven't processed it yet. He continues to be funny and "darty" - such a character. Meanwhile Tino meanders around like an even bigger meatball and is never in a hurry.

I have to post a video or photo of Oaky soon. She's quite a chonker now after having been such a tiny thing a year ago.
