Orko likes to pop in and out of his burrows all night long. Although he had been out many times, he decided to sniff everything when he came out.

Thank you both.

Orko looks like he is keeping a look out or listening to something here. I wonder what it was.

Something caught his interest. At least he didn't get spooked and carried on with his hamster business.

It is lucky he did not get spooked. I love how he looks around like a meerkat.

Aw thank you. I find him soooo cute. When I have actually seen him in person I am stunned by how cute he is. Hehe.

My partner has been doing Orko's care due to me being unwell. I realised he had not been finishing his ground flax. I asked my partner how he was doing it and he said he was adding a pinch to the bowl and then shaking it so it is even. Well Orko likes it placed directly in the centre of the bowl so this explains why he has not been finishing it. I am not sure if he cannot get it out of the edges or it is a preference he has. Yesterday he was given the flax seed how he liked and ate it all up. Orko is very particular and likes everything done in certain ways.
I love this clip of him pouching his walnut.

I'm sure he could still eat the flaxseeds spread out but Orko doesn't want to, lol.

Really? I thought it was too difficult for him.

Noo, Robos are very agile and resourceful. There is no such thing as an obstacle for them. Orko is a Robo who doesn't compromise. It's Orko's way or it's not going to happen.

Wow, I had no idea! This makes me wonder about a lot of things now.....

Oh yes. They are not as delicate as they look! Well physically they are but maybe Orko is twisting you round his little paw 
. Newt used to do tricks on me. I'd put his veg and extras out then go in the other room to change his water. When I came back he was sitting staring at the dish and staring at me and back at the dish as if to say "where's my veg woman?". I'd think - I must have not done the veg yet (I do it on autopilot sometimes). So I'd go and get veg and put it on the plate. I twigged when he did it again! I know I put the veg out the second time but he did the same thing again! Cheeky hamster trying to trick me into giving double or treble veg.

That is so funny and clever. I feel with Orko it is more everything has to be done in the way he likes or he will not tolerate it. He has to have his bowl in a certain place and never put treats near the hole in the MCH.Oh yes. They are not as delicate as they look!

Some hamsters are like that anyway. They feel secure if everything stays the same. I think I mentioned before that Charlie, our first Syrian hated anything being moved even a few millimetres - the shock and horror on his face at finding something had moved slightly. Most hamsters like to know things are in the same place - because I guess they see their habitat as a permanent fixture. I wouldn't like to find my house had moved round the corner either!
