...remains nameless. This is a girl rodent Chloe received for her birthday. I suggested naming the cute little Teddy Bear Hamster Buttercup. Sophie wants to name her Piglet (she looks just like a little baby pig with a pink snout and squeals very loudly when she is scared). Chloe wants to name her Daisy. But I think Daisy is far too close to Mayzie. I don't want to confuse our sweet animals when I call them for dinner.
She is seriously adorable. We found a way to get her to let us hold her last night - feed her a pecan. She gobbled it up so quickly and had a big fat cheek on only one side which quickly went down once she hid in her house for a little while. I guess she prefers to eat in private.
I hope this rodent will complete our family. So far we have 2 fish, 2 hamsters, a dog and five people in this house. I think we are full, but mama loves pets, so you just never know.
Miss Mayzie wants to name her TREAT. She is completely in love with her (or perhaps she wants to eat her, we can't really tell).Any ideas for a name??? Note: She has a very cute white stripe across her middle which could possibly tie into a name. And she LOVES to climb. Thank you! Suzy
I like "Treat" but it's not as cute as she is. So...many...choices.... Serious ones like Mallory or Jessica. Or, cutesy ones like Sprout or Cricket or Peanut. What's the other hamster's name? If we could make them a pair in their names that could be fun too. Just some thoughts from little ol me.

I think she looks like a Buttercup. Then, if she gets porky, you can start calling her Butterball. :D It's like getting two names in one.

Is she a mouse? I have a few over here if you would like some sisters for her! She is cute though. Love the picture of her and Mayzie looking at each other!!!
Look at her cute little hand(paw?) clutching onto the cage!!!

How about Zhu Zhu! She looks like a little Zhu Zhu pet!! I had a female hampster when I was in college. I had to force her to not be nocturnal. it wasn't easy! oh, and at first i thought she was a boy and his name was Pee Wee, then I discovered she was a girl, and I named her Penelope. I mostly called her Smelly Nelly! Have fun! :)
