Altaira - It's been ages!

I have been so busy I haven't had time to post, but I am still here!

Uni is currently overwhelming, I am just about keeping my head above water but it is a struggle.  Still, I have now done half of the first semester and the time, in retrospect, has flown by.

A few weeks ago I felt ready to bring another hamster into my life, so I present...... ANDROMEDA!



I got him from a rescue, he is still very young (no more than about 3 or 4 months).  He looks white in photos generally, but he is actually blond with a very soft and silky coat.  The family who had him before me had children, and he apparently bit one of them.  However, I find him to be extremely shy and terribly nervous - he is particularly afraid of loud noises.  He is very jumpy, but improving all the time.  About a week ago he realised that climbing all over mummy and daddy was actually rather fun, especially as he sometimes finds treats in their clothes!  He is very greedy and hasn't turned up his nose at anything.  He still needs a lot of patience and care, and will never be as friendly as Juno was.  I think the children probably didn't treat him well - he isn't a biter at all, he just runs and hides.  I am very much in love with him!
