Took two rather excited boys to the pet shop around the corner today to collect a new pet - Oscar the Hamster.
We'd promised the boys a hamster at half term, and had chosen and paid for him a week ago. The hamster habitat had been bought prior to that, and came with free wood shavings, bedding and food, so all that was required was a hamster in residence.
The lady in the pet shop had been getting him used to being handled for us, and has said that we can leave him with her, if necessary, when we go on holiday.
He's supposed to be nocturnal, but has spent most of the daylight hours exploring his new home, and running on the wheel, so he's looking a bit knackered right now, but otherwise seems to be a happy little hamster.
