Introducing Dumbledore the Hamster!

Hello everyone! I am Dumbledore the Russian Winter White Dwarf Hamster and I am Ashley's very first hamster! Dino is busy gallivanting with his friends over at the Rainbow Bridge, so I will be taking over his blog and I am absolutely thrilled!

  

My handsome face

I went home with Ashley on the 15th of December 2020, when I was only a one month old tiny wisp of fur. When the pet shop auntie took me out of my tank, from my beloved siblings, I was frightened because I knew that it was my turn to be brought home by a human! It was what my siblings called "The Unlucky Day", and we all dreaded our turn to come! I had seen my previous siblings, who had already been brought home by a human, screaming and struggling to wriggle out of the pet shop auntie's hands. I was absolutely terrified! The auntie put me in a little cardboard box and a strange child with short hair, wearing glasses brought me home!

When we reached home, I was greeted by excited squeals and unfamiliar scents. I was scared because this was my first time alone without my siblings, surrounded by strangers. My new family put me in a little green cage and stood back to watch me explore my new home. The bedding was warm and cozy. I ran on the wheel for a while before going to my food bowl to eat some seeds. I went underneath my wheel and decided it was a good place to sleep. I was still afraid of these humans, but as time passed, I started to like them! Ashley makes lots and lots of fun toys for me and gives me lots of yummy food! I am now Ashley's best friend and both of us are inseparable. It seems that being a pet isn't that bad after all!

Getting to know each other

I will be sharing more about myself and some of my friends in the neighbourhood! I hope that we can be friends and I would love to hear from you soon! You can email me at dinoangmaomao@gmail.com

Yours faithfully,
