Hamsters

Story location: Home / Blog / Hamsters /
17/Jan/2005

Shortly after the new year, Emma and I went to the pet shop to buy two Roborovski dwarf hamsters. Here are a few of the photos.

Uri

Euripidese Uri with chewed ear
Euripides (or Uri). When we collected him from the pet shop, he had blood on his right ear. We think he might have been attacked by some of the other hamsters in the shop. Within a week, the ear had started to heal and the blood had gone. In the photo on the right, you can see his pink chewed ear. Uri is the hyperactive one and is very difficult to handle.


Ira

This one is Iripadose (or Ira). While being calmer than Uri, he is still very fast. He can often be seen with full cheek pouches, which he empties on your hand as soon as you pick him up.

Olivia, they're both roborovskis. They share a cage, usually quite peacefully. Occasionally one gets a bit pushy when the other is sitting in the tubes, blocking it. They do seem to enjoy living together.
