Getting prepared for my Hamster...
It took months of persuasion and bribery to convince my mum to let me have a hamster! I found that the trick is to breech the subject in "bite sized" amounts on a regular (weekly) basis. I have spent hours and hours researching and changing my mind over what cages, food, toys and supplies to get. Having finally ordered, what I feel, are the best selection of "stuff" for my hamster, I am finding it very hard to have enough patience to wait for my little Syrian boy!
In case you were wondering what supplies I have ordered for my hamster, here is a list of everything I have bought:
1. A Savic Hamster Heaven cage (L80xW50xH50cm)
2. Harry Hamster supreme complete muesli (700g)
3. Carefresh Natural bedding (10l)
4. Safe paper bedding
5. Savic medium exercise ball
6. Wooden seesaw
7. Fruity pet nibbles (wooden)
8. Small animal carrier
9. Plenty of cardboard tubes!
I have not bought many toys as I do not want to over crowd my hamster's cage to start off with. He will be very stressed when I bring him home and I do not want to make it any worse by having a 'busy' cage.
Most of my items have come from PetPlanet, which is amazing for hamster and small animal products! The cage came from Amazon where I have read really good reviews about it.
Now all that's left is to wait to get my little hamster! As a first time hamster owner, I have no idea what to expect but I am looking forward to a good few years of fun and happiness with my little critter!

My hamster!
I am thrilled to announce that on 21st August 2014 I purchased a beautiful little male Syrian hamster called Yogi Bear!
He is a pale banded cream colour and has short, but very fluffy, fur! I am in love with him! He absolutely loves his wheel and is always getting up to mischief. Here are some pictures of my beautiful little boy :)
