she knocked the treat out of taylors hand

then tried to bite her should have seen taylors face...she only put her teeth over taylors finger and i just pulled taylor away in time i think...i dont think she was actually going to bite her as she was being gentle.
but i smelled taylors hand and her hands smell like chocolate (she just had some cookie brekkie lol)

its great gaining the hamsters confidence and shes allowing me to pick her up now.... i know a hamster isnt much but its our first family pet lol...she will crawl onto my leg out of her cage and come hide in my jumper pocket or cardigan...whichever i have on.
kevin is a little scared of pets like that as he was bitten by a ferret when he was young on the face ...id be scared too lol....

its funny though when you have pets as a child you dont think twice about picking them up if they havent been handled before but now...phew ! lol i have been shit scared of her up till now LMAO

my little sister has been the one handling her most when she comes up but then tinkerbell isnt the average sized baby hamster she is massive and bigger than my mums hamster who is 2 now. think shes a cross between a gerbil and a hamster (yeah shes that big lol)
will have to try get some new pics up lol

any tips from mummies of little furry pets would be great thanks x

lol im not that keen on hamsters, had a fair few in the past lol x

what would you say is the best pet for kids debs? i.e for them handling and playing with (seeing as you have a fair few lol)

to be honest Elaine i would say guinea pigs, they are sooooooooo good and would never bite scratch etc, Jess loves my pigs and carries them about with her, i think u should get some

they just look like big hamsters to me hahaha...but i admit i have to say i love all your piccies and how they act and get brushed etc.... they are really good.

oooh hahaha...to be honest i think im just bored...kids arent enough for me these days lol

I think Tinkerbell is a syrian hamster hun which is why she is so big. Do you have pics of Tinkerbell and your mums hamster so I can compare? Personally I prefer pet mice to hamsters ok they are smaller but they have more personality and tend to be friendlier than hamsters IMO. Although male mice STINK. Perhaps a house rabbit would be a good idea you can get some lovely little rabbits now Rex or Rex crosses are just gorgeous as they are silky smooth. Only problem with a house rabbit is they can chew wires but you can easily stop that by making sure they cant get to them and you can litter train them. Personally though I dont think its a bet your after hun I think its a man that will give you some love/attention and something different to focus on.... But thats just my opinion lol

lol yeah julie thats the kind of hamster i have but nibbles (my mums) is the same lol...

i`ll get decent pics of nibbles when im down tomorra hes a right old man lol

I agree with Deb, Guinea pigs are great for Kids, both jake and Jess love mine...they are so friendly and outgoing!!

If your mums is male then that could be why as females tend to be larger than males in most species of animals.

my female rabbits and female cats are all smaller than my males, ive been told that males r always the bigger ones-Jue u seen daddy rabbit lol hes huge x

hehe ...yeah my mums hamster is smaller and he is male...i know im some they say thats true i didnt think about that lol...

debs its a wonder how you keep track hun lol

naughty tinkerbell

lol rich is forever saying whos that, whats that one called etc etc is that our cat? lmao x

I suppose it depends on type of animal but I'm sure in rodents females are larger than males normally its same with snakes female snakes are normally larger than male.

my friend has a blk lab like me and hers is female and jake towers over her, when my cats got weighed for the snip my female was half the weight, wonder what Lola weighs as rich says hes huge x
