This is the family pet - Hammy the dwarf hamster. He's either a Siberian or a Campbells hamster - I wonder if they're called Campbells because they're condensed?
We've had him for about 8 months. He used to belong to my sister in law, who was advised to buy two of them and then discovered that they fought. She kept the one that sort of asked her to buy him, and we got the active nutter hamster.
So far he's managed to escape from his cage and break his leg, so he's now a three legged hamster. Last night he managed to escape into the sofa, so now our sofa is a bit slashed and mashed. We'd make him pay for a new one out of his pocket money, but we don't give him any. So, in terms of vet bills and sofa costs he's been an expensive little fellow, especially since he was originally free to us with his cage.
He's a little sweetie though. He's only about 4 inches long, he's never bit anyone other than the occasional gentle nibble to see if we're food. But he's a mad little speed demon with no sense of personal safety. He's probably halfway through his lifespan, I do wonder what else he'll get up to.
So, anybody else got any cute/interesting/expensive/funny pets?
