I Sniffed My Hamster 🐹

I managed to sniff Croûton! I've always loved smelling cute animals 😆, but from the beginning with Croûton I knew this would be a long shot. From the initial days of her disdainfully recoiling from the slightest smell of my fingers, to resting a paw on my finger to get a treat, to resting on … Continue reading I Sniffed My Hamster 🐹 →

Croûton Is Still Cute

I'm making a push to connect with people again, I've been stuck for quite a while. I was very successfully connecting with people in 2019-2020, but 2021-2022 really wore me down. Self-sabotage and anxiety keep getting in the way of attending in-person meet-up groups, but I was overlooking the lower barrier to entry of blogging, … Continue reading Croûton Is Still Cute →

Croûton's started having regular time out of her enclosure now in her free roam pen! But…having just re-watched one of her earlier videos I think I need to start weighing her, as I think I've made her fat! I've got electronic scales and I use a 2L jug to transport her from her enclosure (the … Continue reading Not So Smol 🐹 →

Croûton Breakthrough

There was a bit of a breakthrough with Croûton after I got her a piece of bamboo root. I knew from Happy Hamsters that hamsters like (and need) really cluttered enclosures but it's only over time that I've figured out how to fit more stuff into it. I also had to upgrade her wooden house … Continue reading Croûton Breakthrough →

She Let Me Stroke Her 😭

Croûton let me stroke her a bit! —on three occasions now. I did in the end have to buy some metal moulding strips and glue them to the chewable edges around the bottom of the enclosure to stop her chewing, which made her depressed again for a day, but it's solved the problem! I think … Continue reading She Let Me Stroke Her 😭 →
