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.

Not So Chonk 🐹

I held my hamster today 🥹🥹. She was sitting waiting for me to let her out and was so raring to go she tried to climb out, so I grabbed her gently round the body and she barely squirmed then sat in my hands without freaking out 😭😭😭.

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.

La Grande Crouton!

My previous hamster 25 years ago was a male golden Syrian hamster named Stephen. Crouton is a female and she's massive 😅. She's a giant fluffy potato. 100% chonky and showing no signs of being 2 years old! She's been exploring everywhere and building an underground fortress. https://vimeo.com/796209610 https://vimeo.com/796142719 https://vimeo.com/796142573 🌪

Crouton/Etta Adoption Day

I'm adopting little Etta on Sunday at 12pm 😄😄😄, at which point she will become known as Crouton. I've had this name lined up since December and in fact the name was so compelling to my friend that it became a prime justification for getting a hamster in the first place 😂. 🌪
