Bincey

Here is my little critter-friend Bincey, she loves the cotton balls that I but in her cage. Now don't get me wrong from working in the pet department going on three years I have learned that hamsters are EVIL!!! little creatures (for the most part) I can't tell you how many times they've tried to bite me. Bincey is probably the only exception, she is so sweet, which is very surprising to me. I adopted her from my store, they were going to put her down because her left eye was really bad and swollen all the time and she went to the vet 3 different times and was on three different medication and was in the stores sick room for six months having a syringe put in her mouth twice a day, she stayed sweet whereas other hamsters get very mean. I couldn't bare the thought of her being put down so the store adopted her to me and I changed her bedding from wood chips to torn up toilet paper and cotton balls and her eye is not bad anymore though she'll get goobers in her left eye every once in awhile, she'll just sit in my hand as I wash it off.
Here is Bincey in her seed bowl, It is so cute I use to just refill her dish inside her cage whenever she ran out of seeds, but I noticed some seeds she didn't like would litter her cage so I dumped the hamster seed bag into a Tupperware bowl and set it outside her little door and when I open it up she'll come out and choose the seeds she likes and fills both sides of her cheeks, and turns around and goes back in her cage. Its very entertaining after a couple of seed runs I'll close her door so she doesn't get to many seeds.
