Lilac foster and Not-a-mouse.

It was a early start here this morning as I was a meeting point for todays big transport run and therefore I had a living room full of people and carriers of rodents by 8.30am! As planned the seven short stay boys went off on their way to their new home in Leeds and I gained my unusual little foster pair in the form of Lilac and his new friend the grumpy hammie. The little lady lives up to her name that’s for sure and made a most unimpressed screechy type noise as I moved the tube she was in from the travel carrier to the cage, bless her. Fortunately I knew what to expect and didn’t try to touch her so I’m pleased to say that I still have all my fingers!

Anyway she might not be keen on humans but she loves Lilac foster to bits and the two of them were soon running around and checking out their new cage together. They are quite the odd little couple that’s for sure but they seem very happy and its far better than them both spending their lives alone. For some reason I keep imagining them talking to each other in the same language but with strong, different accents - yes I know I need help!

As I mentioned before we’ve not had a hamster here before and since they arrived we all seem to be referring to her as Not-a-mouse so I think this is likely to be her name during her stay here, poor thing! I hope to get some photos of her and the lovely lilac foster later this evening.
