Screamers and "Swearers"..Are they Monsters? ..NO.. Not at all!

Look at this little man, he is gorgeous, but he's a Screamer or "Swearer" (as I call them).
His language would make EMINEM blush.... :)

He is beautiful and calm and sweet and would make anyone a fantastic and loving pet.

Winter White Dwarf hamsters can sometimes be very vocal. I have talked about it on my website so I thought it might help people to show what "screaming" or " swearing" looks like.


This is the same little boy with his litter mates, he was quite wary of me looking them but he wasn't worried when I started photographing them.

Then, when I moved some bedding to take better photos he started to Scream or "Swear", you can see his open mouth showing his teeth and see how he raises his hands....

...this time, bearing his teeth again, he is giving his father Hiro a real ear-bending.......

..."Dad I don't like her taking photos of us".

When they scream they raise their front legs and often go up onto their back legs or sometimes they go right over and lie on their backs.

"I hate it"............a typical Swearer, mouth wide open looking very aggressive...but not really and not going to harm anyone. They are as sweet and as kind as the other Winters...but they are just more vocal more and opinionated.............

..."oh no its her again, stop photographing me"...

....."I mean it...leave me alone".....

Just after taking the photos of him swearing I put down the camera, picked him up ant took this photo and the one at the top of this posting. He didn't make a sound when I picked him up and, as you can see, he is a lovely, calm sweet little boy.

I hope to keep this wonderful boy to breed from...his personality is delightful ..his language...well maybe it isn't so sweet.....I love him anyway ...watch this space!

Little Dots New Years detox.

After the excesses of her New Year, Little Dot has decided..........like all the other celebs..........to DETOX.

She starts her rigid regime with a sand bath...............

.....this should remove all the traces of Verve Cliq.......

.....then there is the exercise part of the regime.........

......lifting and chewing of the loo roll inner is incredibly good for the upper arms, abs and teeth ....................

.....then from the exercise its onto the aprez exercise meal .....................................................................

......eat more healthily..........or in Dots case........... EAT MORE!

My New Year starlet.............Micro Mini.

This is the tiny star Micro Mini.

She is the daughter of Hastati and Hiroshige and was born in August and yet she is still so tiny, the photos don't really give an idea of how small she really is.

I didn't let her go with her litter mates because she was so small, so I kept her..... she never grew in stature but she grew enormously in personality.

She is utterly gorgeous and is a most treasured pet....she is also a "Super model" and poses at every opportunity ...so expect to be seeing her again.

I took these photos of her in a carrier whilst I cleaned out her house, she had her loo roll inner to play and hide in.

Some photos of my tiny Pygmy Mice.

This is Lady Efe.

She is the founding mother of my colony of African Pygmy Mice.

Like all mice, these tiny versions are very adventurous and great fun to watch. They are so small its very difficult to describe to someone who hasn't seen one. There are photos of Lady Efe and her daughters in a house on the side of my blog to refer to for size which is TINY WEENY:) My friends mostly comment on their titchy little feet.

Lady Efe was really keen on getting into all the photos.

Like all mice the Pygmy's are very clean and tidy. As they are so small they make very little smell, even a group of boys are almost odorless

Ballista's new years excercises.

Ballista is taking her New Years resolution of more exercises very seriously. She really didn't appreciate me disturbing her!

Many thanks to everybody who has contacted Cheshire Hamsters about hamsters over the festive season and into the new year.

We have been very busy so I'm sorry that the blog hasn't been updated yet. There are lots of lovely new photos of our gorgeous new year arrivals and our fabulous new pairs to be added very soon.
