I don't know if any of you knew, but my other hamster died. but I think she was just getting oldish.<br><br><br>soooo, I just went out and got a new ham! she's super cute. her name is ellie-mae, and she's a Djungarian hamster. she's a little overweight, but I can fix that. she loves attention, and her fur is so soft, lol. :3 I'm just so in love with her, she's so cute. I took some pics with my camera, but I really don't feel like uploading them and junk. all I have is a stinkish cell phone picture. I will upload the real pics tomorrow. :)<br><br><br><img src="http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/s720x720/547980_479777832050453_1846009975_n.jpg"; alt="http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/s720x720/547980_479777832050453_1846009975_n.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><a href="http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/376260_479956052032631_632716591_n.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-s ... 6591_n.jpg</a><br><br><a href="http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/s720x720/603469_479956105365959_1789643995_n.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-a ... 3995_n.jpg</a><br><br><a href="http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/s720x720/599705_479956125365957_2124204831_n.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-a ... 4831_n.jpg</a><br><br><a href="http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/s720x720/179186_479956218699281_1190747509_n.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-s ... 7509_n.jpg</a><br><br><a href="http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/600079_479956312032605_2061892664_n.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-s ... 2664_n.jpg</a><br><br><a href="http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/s720x720/487698_479956328699270_53798538_n.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-a ... 8538_n.jpg</a><br><br>she didn't want to sit still, so it was hard to get a good picture. xD

    Aww. I miss having hamsters around. They were so different then my rats. So adorable. I'm sorry for your loss, but congrats on your new edition! : )
    Goodbye old VP, hello disaster. xD

    Very Cute :) I miss my dwarfs. Just wanted to note that in North America a lot of Djungarian (aka. Siberian, Russian Winter White) Dwarfs are hybrids with the Campbell's Dwarf. Campbell's carry diabetes and being over weight can be a sign of this, so it's best to try to avoid foods and treats with a lot of sugar in them (like corn, and commercial hamster "snacks").<br><br>Enjoy the new addition!

    thanks, zyn!<br><br>ori, thanks for the info. yeah, she's got a bit of chub to her. :3 I just have her on regular hamster foods, I never give them treats. (i 'm paranoid that the sugars will hurt them. xD) and i gave her a little bit of apple this morning? does that sound okay? I don't want to kill her. :shock:

    yep, apple in moderation is fine for hammies :) I'm not saying for sure she has diabetes, it's just a good thing to keep in mind with the species. Corn is really only one to watch because it's rather high in glucose.

    After looking at the rest of the pictures, I'm fairly certain she's a Campbell. Djungarian can be used to describe either the Campbells or the Winter White (I really just wish people would call them by their proper names all the time lol, some stores go with Russian or Siberian too). The Campbells are the more commonly seen ones in pet stores. Personality wise I believe they are rather similar so it's basically an either or situation lol.<br><br>She is quite cute and not too heavy looking. The ones with diabetes often get an almost puffy, or bloated look to them.
