Yes I think you are better off with boys. We wanted a boy but every hamster they had was a female and they had about ten Syrians. It was for my daughters 8th birthday so she had to have one that day.

I didnt get any litter in with my cage. He just uses it as a toy anyway lol

Jazzy, Honey is soooo cute! She is the double of the first hammie i ever had (RIP Gizmo)

okay since we've got all the stuff ( got a hamster ball and small animal carrier from tesco for 50p and £1 respectively) we've decided to bring forward daughters present so hopefully hammy comes home tonmorrow. I think I'm more excited than my little girl...

Aww thanks.

I thought you might.


We did that too - her birthday was on the 21st February and we got Honey about the 16th I think. It's awful looking at an empty cage isn't it.

What are the hamster carriers like - do you have a photo because we have a new tesco extra about a mile down the road and I might pop in today and see if they have them.

Don't forget to post photos of the new addition.

Okay new hamster is home. Daughter choses the runt from the ones available. She said she felt sorry for him and that no one else would buy him. Anyway, will let hime settle in before i subject him to the camera.

Jazzy the petcarrier is quite good for £1 - I will post a pic in a minute. Pets at home wouldn't let us take him home in it though - they said as the sides were see through we should use the cardboard box they provide so the hammy will be in the dark

Here's the Tesco carrier

By the way, the new hammie has decided to sleep in the litter tray. And in spite of the fact that in addition to the two homes that came with the hamster heaven, he has one of these as well:

Now that my hammie has his new cage, his old cage is sat empty and it doesnt look right.. So i'm getting another hammie this week

I'll treat the new hammie to a hamster heaven eventually but cannot afford it yet so it'll have to go in the old cage for a while..

I'm thinking of getting a little girl syrian. I saw one in the pet shop a few weeks ago, a little grey fluffy one. SOOOO cute!!! I'll post pics when i get her

Ooooh can't wait for the pics, she sounds lovely.
