He has arrived!!!

Gus brought him round about 12 O'Clock, and got him out. He is gorgeous!! Straight on my hand, up my arm, and onto my shoulder. It struck me how much heavier he is than my two Chinese dwarfs. He is as big as my hand - four times the size of Sky and Theo!! All white, with a lovely light cream colour at the top of his shoulders and the top around his head.

Sir Dandelion is now asleep. I gave him some extra shredded toilet tissue for his bedding, and he spent a bit of time re-arranging it until it was just right, then he laid down on his side and closed his eyes. I watched him through the plastic, and he was facing me with his little paws drawn up to his chest. Adorable!!!

It's a lovely stewfor dinner today, so I gave all my hammies a little piece of carrot and swede each in their bowls to munch when they wake up this evening.

Will be getting him a lovely new cage soon, as the one he came in was tiny. It's one of those stupid Habitrail playground's - the plastic things only really fun for kids. He finds it a bit of a challenge leaving his bed to get into the main part of the cage because the tube connecting them is too small. I have my eye on a lovely huge cage on ebay, so here's hoping he won't have to live in the Habitrail for much longer.

I want to thank Gus for bringing him into my life. I want to thank Joe for rescuing from his previous owners and giving him a lovely Silent Spinner. Thanks guys, I promise he will be extremely well looked after, and thank you for entrusting me with him :-)
