Thread: The Bonsai-Beastling

Couldn't resist adding some pics of my other furry creature, Bonsai the Syrian hamster... She's now 1 yr and 2 months old and is incredibly sweet so thought she deserved some web space too :D

The first pic is when we first got her and the others are more recent.

Bonsai is a darling. I want one!!! (They don't have Hamsters in Australia :()

She is very sweet she even gets up in the morning when we do... Mainly in hope of a treat but still....
Didn't realise no hamster in Australia :(

She's adorable. Yeh they have guinea pigs and rats but no hamsters, gerbils, squirrels, etc. It's sad :(. All those things are so cute!!!

She is adorable. I think I need to see more pics (and I promise not to show them to my snakes ;))

Can I ask though, how do you keep cats away? Its just my beloved Fudge "liberated" some of the kids hamsters when they were little ......

More pics... If you INSIST ;) These are all of her most recent trips to London, she's great at travelling - just falls asleep for most of the way!

We keep her in a room that he's only allowed in under supervision (the bedroom) and generally, when we do let him in, we move her to a different room and shut the door. It's kind of habitual as I had rats when I was growing up so always had to be careful with the cats. Also, her cage is on the ground so he couldn't knock it over. There've been a couple of times when we've forgotten to shut the door and he's been sitting there looking interested but so far he hasn't tried to nom her... (Long may that continue!

Sorry for your loss xx

Thanks guys, I think she was pretty happy and am glad it was in her sleep rather than being nommed by Rasputin or after being really ill.

So sad about your loss, we have two totally adorable hamsters, and I dread their passing, they are my children's pets really but soo cute, Carla had to have her eye removed when she was really young but she is still a fab pet and a wonderful character. The MCs are not allowed anywhere near them!
