It`s my daughters pet Hamster, called Badger .....cracking little pet with a lovely nature.She has an annoying habit though of making her bed against her water bottle,so it gets soaked, and she gets cold, so got to keep an eye on her. Snapped this as I was putting her back in her tank after her daily 2hr runaround the living room in her hamster ball

Love the "cute look" but the minute Badger's out of his home I bet she can create havoc!!!!!
Such an adorable little face and a sharp shot too Mark

[big bill]

It looks like its been on the hard stuff over the festive season with the red nose

[tufftie]

Do we get to see a photo of the guinea pig too - or has he/she got an aversion to having it's photo taken?

Usually she just sits on my knee and has a sniff around without going far. On the 2 occasions she`s escaped from her hamster ball, she just slowly wandered around the floor then came and sat on my foot
Here`s the Guinea Pig - called Fluffy, my daughters other pet

That's so cute. I'm a sucker for Hamsters. We have a female syrian at the moment called Dizzel, although we've had many over the years, even dwarf Hamsters. The one we have at the moment is a bit snappy, a bit tame but I don't totally trust her. Did you tame yours quite easily ? You've just given me an idea with the Hamster ball too, might drive the dogs potty though.

She's got lovely colours in her coat Looks cute too - does she make loud noises when she wants attention?! A friends in Cornwall did; couldn't believe such a small thing could make such a loud squeak!

Oh Mark, she's lovely. I'm a sucker for Guinea pigs too . We have 2 females called Rose and Hound dog. I sent their pic up to the pet thread a while ago.

It was tame right out of the box (so to speak ),unlike the Gerbil we had prior to this one, that went for anyone within range and drew blood a few times when I had to put my hand in its tank, got sick of buying houses for it - a house like the one in the Hamster pic I posted here would last 3 days, it used to eat them!!
My daughter had a Russian Dwarf Hamster last year too, but we found it stiff as a board stone dead,sat in its bowl, one morning. That one was nice natured too.

Go anywhere near our fridge (the Guinea Pigs cage is in the kitchen) and it sings like a Canary, wanting carrot sticks.Sometimes I think it has an identity crisis

Mark H

[tufftie]

Do you err sing() back to it then?... or do you just squeak to Weasels on country lanes?!

[mh68]

Nah its too dopey to communicate with

I just love that photo! It always makes me chuckle when I look at it I meant to post a reply the other day, but the forum was being a pain so I couldn't...sorry.

Great stuff
