Welcome to Huggles

We have a new addition to our household – her name is Huggles – she is very cute and we all love her to bits already.

Mummy (Alli) and Daddy (Tim) took us to buy some new trainers this afternoon and whilst we were at the retail park Daddy (Tim) thought it would be nice to go and look at the animals in the pet shop – so we did!

We loved watching the animals scurrying round their cages and we all, including Mummy (Alli) and Daddy (Tim), quickly fell in love with the hamsters, so much so that it wasn’t long before Mummy (Alli) and Daddy (Tim) were looking at homes for one.
We decided that we would like to take a Syrian hamster home with us – so the nice man at the pet shop got one out for us and put her in a green cardboard box for us to take home, by the time we got home Huggles had nearly chewed her way out of the box.

When we got home from the shop we were all very excited, Daniel assisted with the unpacking of the hamster food and bedding whilst Daddy (Tim) assembled the cage assisted by Mummy (Alli), when it was ready we all crowded round and watched as Huggles came out of her box and went and hid in one of the tubes in her cage. We left her alone then for a couple of hours and just before bedtime we went in to check that she was ok – she seemed very happy as she was running in her hamster wheel.

We aren’t allowed to pick her up yet as we have to let her settle in but we can’t wait to give lots of huggles to Huggles The Hamster!!
