Today my friend Laura dropped off her hamster Margot-Belle with us to look after while she is away in Turkey- this got me thinking, if I'm blogging about the lovely things in my life how have I left out Chris and Benson thus far?
These little guys were Jakes finishing dissertation present and arrived whilst I was on my hen weekend away... At first I was like 'why do you want hamsters all they'll do is escape and sleep... boring!' I was so wrong! As you can keep roborovski hamsters in pairs we have 2 super cute sisters (who are always referred to as boys, Chris for Chris Kirkham Jakes dissertation supervisor and Benson for Benson's algorithm which was the subject of the wondrous paper) Anyway.... they scamper around loads and always play together in the most adorable way. Love it!
So yeah, we were just messing around this evening with said animals and I was taking pictures, Margot is super tame and very friendly but C+B are far far too speedy to hold. They also make Margot look like a bear because they are SO small...
Here they are in all their furry hamstery joy!
