Second chance hamsters

I let Toby out last night with the devider removed so he had the whole place to himself.
Curious thing is that he stays in the hamster room and runs circuits around the room. Now and again he stops to sniff at something or eats a dropped seed before he's off again running his circuits at top speed.
When he's tired he hovers near me but stays on the move. I do eventually manage to scoop him up without chasing him (chasing scares hamsters) but last night my top was tucked in! Silly me. I completely enclosed him in my hands and carried him the short distance. I'm surprised that he tolerates that without nipping.
He's quite an interesting little character who does things a bit differently from other dwarfs.
 
Davy! Oh sorry I didn't read properly. It was Toby on your lap. But Davy - what happened to the quiet little boy?
 
The quiet little boy wasn't around for all that long, lol.
Davy is turning into a right little character and he behaves like the others now. I think Clive is his mentor, bad habits included. He really copies Clive.

Davy knows his name and i can pick him up and carry him for a short distance.
He made good progress. It's like there was this lively and funny little hamster waiting to come out.

Otto is not keen on Davy or Davy's scent. I've noticed that a few times. If my hands smell of Davy, Otto will shake me off and start scenting like mad. I went to pick up Otto in the bathroom but i smelled of Davy so he started scenting. Had no unscented soap handy and used handwash instead. Otto was fine with that. Looks like the smell of handwash is preferable to Davy's.

They have all been out tonight, run in their wheels when the dwarfs were out and for the last hour they've all been in their nests.
Funny how they seem to do things together.
