We went in with the intention of waiting untill next month to buy him.
Then we saw he was so hungry he was hunting his woodchips.
Too our horror he bit and ate 4 woodchips in sucession.
We told the owner and she said "he had strawberrys earlier, silly thing always eats wood when 'es 'ungry"
I had to grip Mark tight to stop him from screaming WELL FEED HIM MORE THEN at her.
We had to take him then and there.
Hamster on the far wall: Psst...Billy...Billy, wake up! Here comes that cute little blonde again. She's got the boyfriend with her. You know..... the one that feeds his beardies in the bath!
Billy: I don't know if I can do this. It seems so wrong!
Hamster: You can do it Billy! All you have to do is eat a few wood chips. I promise you...if they see you eating the wood chips, you will be dining on the SS Nom by tonight!
He is a ravenous eater, we gave him a few supers to lure him out and then he ate hi way through two bowls of salad. So far everything we've put in front of him he's tried to eat.
He is also fast as lightening and a fearless jumper.
He could outstreak any baby beardie I swear.
He had alot of stress today because we found out our two spare light fittings are both broken /bangs head.
So for now Billy has a household bulb till monday. His temps are ok, but Mark was furious.
Billy carmed down and eventually let me burrito him in my jumper. He's currently fighting off sleep tucked into it in his viv.
Btw Mark named him Billy after Billy Mays because of the blackest of black beards he showed Mark when he first saw him ^_^
Ok ok ive stalled enough....
Who's ready for some Billy action??
Climbing out of his carrier (thats strawberry on his cheek)
Bribing him out with supers.
OMAIGOD IS THAT FOOD????
ima get me dat worm.
OM...
NOM... (note the flying superworm spittle)
NOM.
Any more?
Sunglasses at the ready?
POW!
Lit up like a xmas tree.
He was very good in the bath and even had a bowel movement after a belly massage.
I'll be starting him on 0.2ml of olive oil a day to flush out his insides tomorrow.
And one last one. He's got Fargo-arm syndrome too!
Poor little thing was so starved of attention he practically purred when Mark started to stroke him.
