Guinea Pig Care

Here is some information about my Pets:

Boxer- Male Dwarf Hamster

Date Adopted: Thursday 7th Febuary 2008

Age: When bought - Around 4 Months

One Day I decided that I would buy a Hamster, I had done so much research on them I just thought that it would be the right thing to do.

So, I went down the local Pet shop and had a look at the Hamsters that they currently had in. Not much- but then I saw this beautiful little Hamster, he was very cute! The Pet shop owner said that he did not bite, he picked him up and shown me how friendly he was, how could I resist him!

Well, he is now safe and sound back here, he will be about a year old around September.

Personality: He loves his bed! If I ever get him out he will just want to go back to sleep, so he is abit lazy! He has never bit me and he is always friendly. He occasionaly takes food from me, although he loves to be independant.

Bum Fluff- Male Syrian Hamster

Date Adopted: Around late March

Age: Half a year

Bum Fluff is so called because he is very fluffy and furry around his back.

He came to me as a surprise, I was bought him by my Dad. He is a little bundle of fun! He has the biggest cage complete with a tube to crawl through. He never nibbles anything, well, only the cage! He is just the cutest thing you have ever saw, very active at night!

Personality: He is a character! He wont shut up at night, he just nibbles the cage and I just can't get to sleep becaus of it! He is very active, he loves doing the monkey bars and sleeping in his little house. He sometimes takes food from me and he loves storing it in his house, which I have to clean out everyday now because of that! He also loves his wheel, he has 2 now because of the death of Captain the other week. He goes round the wheel for ages!

Captain- Female Syrian Hamster

Date Adopted: Around Late March

Age: 1 Year

I will have to wright 'was a good Hamster' because sadly, last Saturday, 7th June 2008, Captain Died. I really don't know how. But she was the tamest Hamster I have kept. She came with Bum Fluff and was a lovely Hamster. She is called Captain because I first though she was a male, and Bum Fluff a female. But I was wrong, and its bad luck to change names!

Personality: Very Friendly Hamster, would always come and see me when ever I entered the room. She always wanted food from me, she would sit at the side of the cage waiting for me to give her some, then she would always store it in her pouches. She loves making her bedm but I could not give her any bedding material becasue for some reason she would try and eat it. She would sometimes go to sleep in her tube but toward the end of her life she would be sleeping at the bottom of the cage. She would drink the most water! She would sometimes use her wheel too.

May she rest in peace!

Tincker- Male Guinea Pig

Because of the death of Captain, I decided to get a new Guinea Pig.
