I haven't posted for a while but those who may remember me back in March, I told you about my sweet Syrian hamster called Sparkles. Sadly she passed on the 11th April in my partners arms, she didn't die alone. The sweet thing is, Sparky didn't die alone.


We moved on quite quick and ended up getting another hamster only a few days after as it hurt us seeing an empty cage!

So I would like to introduce you to Luna (pictured below), it's taken me 2 months to tame her and finally now she allows us to pick her up and cuddle her.

She is very scatty at times, turn on a light switch and she jumps, but she's getting better.

This photo was taken this morning in her play pen!

Attached is a photo of Sparkles - R.I.P my girl.

Oh my goodness, she is absolutely gorgeous! I'm so glad you have another hamster. I'm so sorry about Sparkles - they really leave a hole in our hearts don't they - but then another hamster who needs a loving home comes along and that can help.

I absolutely adore Luna's colouring - she looks part grey? Well done with the taming. It took me about that long with my new Syrian as well, before I could pick him up :-)

Can't wait to hear more about Luna!

Yeah she is so friendly now, it took some time. She is not a replacement for Sparky, they both have different personalities. Although Luna is friendly, she will tell you when she wants you to put her down, she gives you a little tap with her back legs lol.
 
Yes they are all different :-) And that helps. I have two Syrians and they are complete opposites, personality-wise :)

It's daytime at the moment but I'm sure others will be along to reply later :-)
 
So this was Luna this morning, this is the first time in 2 months since she's been very playful and funny. Look at the way she spits the cardboard out!

Ha ha that made me laugh! The way she spat it out - but also the way she wrestles with the tube. I think she might have something in common with @Lovelyness hamster Blossom there - the cardboard destroyer :ROFLMAO: Maybe they could set up a hamster group to discuss the pleasures of spitting cardboard!

So sorry to hear you lost Sparkles, Luna will help heal the gap she has left in your heart.
 
I love the way she spits the cardboard out too! Luna looks lovely and it's great to hear she's letting you cuddle her now.
 
Luna is beautiful. Watching her spit the cardboard out, made me laugh out loud😂
 
I think you'll have your hands full with Luna :-)

Just like Miss B!! That's exactly what she does with bits of egg box...and her Cork mat now too lol 😆 They are kindred spirits!!
 
Awh! What a cutie!!! She looks so pretty! I love the colour of her coat!😍🥰
 
She is so sweet, working hard on her cardboard!
 
Somewhere under the burrows awaits a Luna who will jump out at her prey which happens to be a wallnut :D

Cage is Savic Plaza and I had plastic screens bolted around just in case she bar bites but she hasn't yet as she has a lot of bordem breakers!

So beautiful, great photo
 
She's adorable! Agree they are great photos! You might want to enter one in this month's photo competition (which I'm about to start ....) That looks like a great burrow she's made. Mine go crazy for walnuts.
