Hi all, I'm Anna, and I'm 27.

I live in Russia and I've been on Smartgroups for a few months, but it somehow never occurred to me I should introduce myself. It seems the new Hamsters Online group can be a second chance for me to do it, so now that everyone's started I thought I'd join in :)

 

I have a longhair Syrian hamster named Woldemar, got him from a pet shop two years ago. Unfortunately, I do not know his exact age or anything about his parents, but he must be something around 2 years 1.5 months old. He's black, although the color seems to be poor quality for a black - the fur on the skirt looks light gray, and with age he's getting more and more brown spots. Anyway, I never meant to show him, so the color has never been a problem. I love Woldemar the way he is.

 

Woldemar is a happy hamster, and although I know he's getting elderly he still runs in his wheel a lot and does a lot of stuff that makes me laugh. For example, he's a good cook :D If I give him baby food (vegetable stuff that goes in small glass jars - like Hipp or Gerber), he soaks seeds, pellets and bread in it and sometimes tops the whole thing with fresh fruit or vegetables - looks like some sort of soup or sald :D My family finds Woldemar's cooking habits hillariously funny :D

 

I do not think I'll ever get a second hamster, Woldemar is so unique and I want him to stay that way. I try to pamper him in all sorts of ways and I hope God gives us another year together.

 

Here's a picture of Woldemar (taken May this year):

And another one showing Woldemar and me together:

 

Nice to meet everyone,

Anna.
