Spencer
was rescued from a dirty, overcrowded pet shop last September.
His eyes were bright and he was excited to finally get the loving home
that he deserved. We went through a few difficult months as we, his
human parents, learned that he needed his space and took his territory
very seriously. Let's just say he had lots of practice biting! However,
he mellowed out with age and we quickly reached a state of peace.
Spencer does not bother hoarding his food like an average hamster. He's
just, lazy and doesn't bother hiding it because he knows right where it
is. He is also very sensitive to smell. If you smell like other
hamsters, he spends the first minutes out of his "apartment" sniffing
and licking your fingers. Spencer absolutely loves chinchilla dust and
bathes regularly in it. We think he just likes to make a mess. He loves
any type of treat except for Quaker Oats (which for some reason he does
not consider food). He especially loves his hamster biscuits, frozen
peas, bread, and cheese. Even though we had some hard times, Spencer is
incredibly wonderful. He's always happy to see us and has a great deal
of personality for a hamster. We'd just like to say that we love him
very much!
