Meet Wilbur

Hello all.



It's been ages since I last posted on this blog, but I am back and am planning to get the blog back in bussiness. Today I want to show you the latest addition to CroHamstery; a Pudding (hybrid) boy named Wilbur


Wilbur is a 5-6 months old pudding that I adopted from a breeder who breeds "Golden Winter Whites" (Mandarin Hybrids/Puddings) for pet purposes. I recently lost Amber and Sheldon passed last Spring so I decided to get another hamster. I contacted the lady that was advertising Pudding hamsters, but she said she didn't have any normal left, only one that is discolored.


So I payed her a visit and she had few females and a Mandarin male that she was breeding. The dad was normal Mandarin colour, as well as the babies advertiesd. But then she showed me the little baby that was all Mandarin except the spot on his lower back that's pretty Sapphire-like.


 I instantly fell in love with the baby because it's something I never seen before. A unique hamster, thought I and decided to take the baby home with me.


Wilbur has been living with me 3 days now and I must say he is pretty much the tames hamster I ever met. He is so calm with me, allows me to pick him up, runs happily from one of my hands to another and doesn't try to jump off and run away. Boy, I'm happy I have a new friend.
