Not-a-mouse the 2nd
Realised I forgot to tell you about my other little foster who arrived here Monday night! With Starlight Trust still being in quarantine I was asked if I could help them out with a small ham someone wanted to hand in. Apparently he was a unwanted present and has been living in one of those tiny Habitrail Ovo things since February, poor thing. He is only the second hamster I’ve ever had here and as you may remember the first (the feisty little girl who lived with lilac foster) became not-a-mouse so he is already being called not-a-mouse the 2nd lol! I’m informed by someone who knows about hams that he is a chinese but all I know is he is adorable! Just look at this little face….
He will be going to Starlight at the weekend (along with the little boy foster) which is when I shall finally be collecting my very own ham. I had arranged to adopt him before the rescue went into quarantine as he’d been looking for a home for so long so now I can hardly wait to get him here! The little man in question is a very overweight dwarf ham for whom I’ve chosen the name Pog. Well it’s better than not-a-mouse the 3rd I guess! 
surely if you were continuing the not-a-mouse theme for fover ones rather than fosters, then pog would be 2nd and this one 3rd?
chinese hamster definately (their bodyshape is more like spinies), but much darker than normal!
