I have just adopted an abandoned teeny, tiny, angry hamster from work.
I like silly names, not ones like Nutmeg etc. So far we have Abrahamster and Hamlet. Although he could be a she. I've not yet checked as it is terrified.

Aw. She's cute and Priscilla suits her! Is she/he any less angry?

DropZoneOne · 04/03/2018 12:42

Aww he/she is a sweetie! Any more clue on the breed? Any improvement in behaviour?

flumpybear · 04/03/2018 16:11

Is say she's a girl if you don't see 'anything' down there Hmm Hamster genitalia are rather large on boys!

PickAChew · 04/03/2018 16:17

Yep, male hamsters have rather big balls and they're not shy about showing you what they've got if you tickle their tummies.

DropZoneOne · 04/03/2018 17:17

It took me 3 months to realise "Harvey" was missing any boy equipment 😂 Pet shop had declared him a boy and it was only when no balls developed that I questioned their sexing.

She's settled down a lot and is a very friendly little thing.
She's definitely been handled in the past. She makes a noise like fingers dragging down a comb when she wants attention. My DP is quite besotted with her. She now resides in an absolute palace of a cage.

If she’s really small she looks like a Russian dwarf to me. We had 2 until recently called Loki and Thor- both boys. Before that we had mikey and pebble- both girls. They are really cute and entertaining.

She looks like a dwarf hybrid to me. Very cute. Hope you are having progress on the taming.
Obviously I don’t know your experience but looks like you
Are feeding Harry hamster? Burgess excel do an awesome dwarf hamster food with little tiny bits in. It’s really good. I used it for mice as well in the past. X

We think he looks like a Percy
