Pepper

Greetings! My name is Pepper and I'm a black bear hamster. Yes, we hamsters have breeds just like cats, dogs, rabbits, etc. I love people and enjoy being picked up. I moved into my new place this past month after having grown up in a pet store with my siblings. I like having my own habitat and slowly but surely the construction on the additions is coming along.

You probably want to know what I look like... I have pictures! You can't see my white stripe in these pictures. It goes from my chin to my belly and I think it's very cute.

• sunflower seeds
• popcorn
• cheesies
• hard chewies
• square meals
• carrots

Tips for Getting Along with Hamsters Like Me:

• Wash your hands first. If you smell like food, we treat you like food (chomp!).
• Please don't startle us.
• We're allergic to cedar and pine shavings. Cedar in paticular.
• Chewing is a natural habit.
• Don't put us in the bedroom with you. We're noisy.
• A quiet wheel is beneficial. (Mom made me put that in. Squeaky wheels are fun!)
• As a general rule,hamsters are solitary animals by choice although many do get along together quite well.
• I am Houdini reincarnated! (there is so much scotch, masking, and duct tape on my home)
• If you put a colored wood block in my cage, my face will turn colors too.
