Hamster

Mr Jay and I love animals. We both grew up with pets including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, budgies, and canaries. When we moved in together just over a year ago, of course we wanted our own pet(s)! Unfortunately we rent, and landlords don’t really like tenants to have pets of any kind. Also, we are both usually out of the house for twelve hours a day! Therefore there were not many pet options open to us. Introducing the third and final member of our little family... Hamster!

Although hamsters are typical pets for kids, Hamster is the perfect pet for us overgrown, immature, children-at-heart! She needs VERY little time, she is cheap to care for, and we can leave her unattended for several days. Most importantly, she is very cute and entertaining. Her best trick is to walk upside down along the ceiling of the cage like monkey bars, then let go, one paw at a time! We could take bets on where she will land. Hamster is currently immortalised as my profile picture.
