Blog author 10 Dec 2007 10:05 | My blog raystedei knew this would happen...we had our first day volunteering at Raystede yesterday and i have already fallen in love with a little girl hamster called heidi! she is the cutest thing! very unusual looking - her face looks more like an otter! she's so cute and pretty and i want her! i have to keep telling myself that i have no room for her and if i did have her she and my current pets would get less attention so it wouldn't be fair. she is so bloomin' cute though!
ANYWAY...we had a lovely day and were made to feel really welcome, which is nice. got to play with (clean out mostly but hey!) guinea pigs, cinchillas, degus and gerbils. was a nice day - shame the weather was so awful, they were kind though and didn't make us go out with the rabbits!

Though they are like a cross between a chinchilla and a gerbil with the similarities between them, and they have the faces of squirrels ! 14 Dec 2007 21:07 14 Dec 2007 21:07 Awww. Sounds like the sort of thing I'd like! A question: Are Degus hamster/gerbil cross or what? I saw some for the first time the other day and wasn't sure! |
