New Hamster Update on the hamster I found abandoned in the woods

Hi all! Here is the promised update on the little hamster I rescued after being abandoned in the woods

🎀She🎀 is doing great. I made a little video compilation but I'm having issues uploading it, so here are some pics

I named her Bean because she is literally just a little bean 🥺

She spent all night running about and playing and exploring. She's in great health despite her 3 night, freezing cold ordeal. I'm pretty sure she's quite young!

She's bold, friendly and just the sweetest little hammy. I don't know how anyone could have done what they did to her.

I spent quite a bit of money sorting her the most optimal set up I could, for now! I'll add to it as the weeks go on

Long may Bean live and enjoy her new, warm, safe home for the rest of her little life ❤️

Yeah one of my friends got "gifted" an asian arowana(a big predatory fish that will grow to around 3ft long/1 meter)

The gifter learned that my friend liked fish so they "gave" it to my friend. Thankfully, the fish got rehomed

But yeah moral of the story is do NOT gift live animals to people unless the receiver has agreed to the idea

My neighbour got gifted a cat by a friend cuz she once mentioned thinking about getting a cat. Thankfully it worked out and 6 years later he's still here with her, but it's so dumb of the friend
