Speedy GonToby
OK, so I got a hamster from Mum + Dad for my birthday, in April. (Early present). So I took him home in a box and got his cage ready and all the business that needed attending to. Yes, he looks a bit like Elvis Presley, and no, he isn’t called that. He’s called Toby and here’s a picture of him.
Isn’t he sweet? Anyway, he was nervous, Mum tried to pick him up once but was bitten and she bled. Then he weed on her!! Is that a good thing, you might ask? It wasn’t. Now, seven months later, I’m trying to get him to like me. I managed to pick him up today…YYAAYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In these pictures, he is in his new playpen for the first time.

Ruby….
That’s a very cute little fellow, but didn’t the pet shop tell you that you’re supposed to pull out their front teeth at 3 months old? No wonder he’s biting people’s exposed flesh and then ‘doing his toilet’ to show his disgust! That’s ingrained in every hamster’s instincts.
Hamsters are known as ‘Land Piranha’ in their native town of Bitzchudorf in South America. Attacks on humans by gangs of hungry ferel hamsters are well documented, and at certain times of year, the whole town can be overcome by the odour of hamster toilet. There simply isn’t enough sawdust to go round. I remember once that ‘Blue Peter’ held a fundraiser asking for donations of wood chippings to send to Bitzchudorf because the situation was so bad.
And the noise from all those rattly little exercise wheels can be deafening….
So be sure to ask Dad for a pair of pliers and get those nasty little incisors pulled before Toby takes over the whole of Pinner in a reign of rodent terror!

Haha, very funny. I’ll be sure to call animal control when that happens, until then, he’ll sleep like a hamster log and will only come out at dinner time. (He knows when dinner is), I’ll make him wee on you if you’re not careful. Toby’s proud of his teeth.

Good old Toby even survived a week at our house, not a very animated pet, he slept for most of the week only waking at night time to exercise in his cage - how can something SOOOO very small make so much noise at night !
He never got the chance to feast upon us with his fangs, we were simply too scared to allow him out of his cage.

You tell him Ruby.
And remember to feed Toby well. Get him nice and fat and plump. That way there will be more to go around at the next BBQ. Crispy tail for me please.
yum yum ;-}
