Scottie

[Member ID2]

I was just on my way to bed when Scottie came running looking for treats. That's him on his shelf munching on a treat.
I'll introduce him soon.

Aw how cute! Scottie is becoming much more confident and it is clear how much he trusts you.

Scottie is around 15 months old now and arrived here as a foster hamster who was going to be rehomed.
He was made homeless because his humans stupidly kept him in a group of Robos and the group started to fight so had to be split up.

I had never met an assertive Robo like Scottie before who attacked the brush i used to brush the debris off his house. He must have seen the brush as an intruder and tried to scare it away which is quite a feast for a tiny Robo, especially a small one like Scottie.

I moved Scottie upstairs in the hamster room when our Robo Monty died and let him inherit Monty's Hamster Heaven.
The HH makes interacting easier and Scottie started to hang around when we were in the room.

Then we unexpectantly lost our dear Gertie and couldn't sleep without hearing her paws on her wheel at night.
I moved Scottie into the bedroom and that move was a major break through.

Scottie loved that spot away from the other hamsters. He was in a dark and quiet corner which must have appealed to him and he started to become quite sociable for Robo standards.

He comes out to play when he's in the mood, runs to the front of his cage asking for treats and appears to be a very content little man.

Oh, and we decided to keep him, obviously.

Aw Scottie is gorgeous. I love the photos. And he seems to be enjoying playpen time!

Scottie is such a cute Robo, lovely he has really come out of himself, he’s got such a great character.

I was sitting in bed just now drinking coffee and writing on here when Scottie did all he could to get my attention.

He run up and down the bridges at the front, climbed the bars, run on his wheel and then created a noise by pushing the wooden chews on this shelf about!

He got so annoyed because i didn't get up immediately to give him his sunflower seeds.

He's gone to bed now with full pouches.

he’s such fun, grabbing your attention and then off to nibble his treats before a lovely sleep. Have a good day

 

[RainbowBrite]

Oh that is so cute! It seems sunflower seeds are his favourite.

Here's a video of Scottie in the playground but i'm not sure if i can upload a video.

 

[Member ID2]

Didn't work. I don't know how to upload videos

 

[RainbowBrite]

I do it by uploading it to youtube. Perhaps you can try that?

 

[Member ID2]

Hmm. I don't know how to upload to youtube but will have a look later. Thanks

 

[RainbowBrite]

I can help if you would like? You need to make an account first.

 

[Member ID2]

I may have an account and have youtube on my phone but never looked into it.

Thanks for offering your help and i may get back to you on that.

Aw he looks so utterly tiny and cute in his playground. Glad the bedroom is a good location for him. Rafferty robo will most likely be in my bedroom when I move house.

I tried again to upload a video but didn't work. Don't really understand why it doesn't work.

 

[Maz]

I have only done it via youtube before. Then you paste the youtube link for the video in the message box and the video appears in a box after you hit post reply. So it's geared to a web link for a video but I'll look into if there's a way to directly upload for a phone ................

 

[Member ID2]

Great thanks. That would be easier from the phone.

 

[Maz]

From what I can see it does need to be uploaded somewhere else first, to be in the right format for a web page and server. Youtube is fairly easy - there might be others.

Ok thanks.
