I visited Middle Daughter this evening, armed with my little red camera with an aim to capture her little chinese hamster, Wilson.
Hamsters are nocturnal and since Wilson is almost 3 years old now, although he’s not showing his age, he does like a lie in so needed a little poking and prodding, and tempting with his one of his favourite snacks to persuade him finally leave the comfort of his warm tissue bed.
He was a little nervous at first, twitching his whiskers and flashing his big dark eyes at the camera …
But he soon succumbed to a little “training with reward” …
Once he decided the “big” red box wasn’t going to hurt him he quite happily showed off his wheel …
And stood up on his hind legs to collect some more of his favourite snacks as Middle Daughter offered them to him …
ahhh so cute!
He’s tiny !
il est superbe Wilson
Merci beaucoup.
A little cutie!
Thanks, he’s really tiny … and yes, a little cutie.
He’s so cute! Wonderful captures.
Thanks, he wouldn’t keep still !
I ended up focusing on middle daughter’s fingers and waiting for him to move into shot … cheating slightly, but it worked.

Great pictures! Adrian
Thanks, I had fun trying to catch him with the camera.
R.I.P. Wilson.
Awww… I’m so sorry.
