Magpie celebrates Pancake day!

Hello everyone,

Today it is Shrove Tuesday - more commonly known as Pancake day - so I decided to make Magpie some pancakes using one of the recipes from my 'Happy Hamster' cookbook! Plus, I have a conversation with him...

So Magpie, do you know what a pancake is?

Go on, have a guess at what it is...

No, a cake is a sweet spongy food baked in a tin, a buiscuit is hard...
oh never mind. Maybe I shall make some pancakes to show you what they
are, Magpie.Wait here with my sister while I do so.

















Yes, you do, Magpie. The kitchen is unsafe for a hamster!

10 minutes later... 
















Ah, a lovely stack of hamster 'Pancakes'...

These of course, are hamster-safe pancakes, so they're not actual pancakes.
But hopefully they'll be tasty like the real thing!

Now it's time to serve them to Magpie...

Oh look! He's smelt them and is coming to taste them...

well, the pancakes have got Magpies seal of approval!

I think that little stack of pancakes was enough for you Magpie.
















You are adorable Magpie but my answer is still no.
You have your hamster food to eat too!


Here are 2 more pictures of Magpie:






























Now Magpie has had his pancakes, I think all thats left to say is:

Hope you all have a great Pancake day today!

Magpie and I will be back with another post soon.

Bye for now,

Hamstergirl

P.S: The recipe I used to make Magpies 'hamster pancakes' was taken from 'Happy Hamster' - a recipe book that tells you how to make hamster treats. The book was written by the owner of
'hamstertracker.com

Say hello to Magpie - Plus I restart the blog, continuing it...

Hello everyone,

I have been gone for quite some time I know, but I feel my time off blogging has benefitted both me and my pets. (Magpie is nearly tame now) So now, this is the moment you've been waiting for, it is time to welcome my new male syrian hamster onto the blog...

Say hello to Magpie, Everyone!

Magpie, why don't you introduce yourself...

have you finished now Magpie?




















what is your full name then?

Thats a bit of a mouthful though, and I never called
any of my past hamsters their names followed by their
coat markings! So I will call you Magpie, Magpie because
thats what I named you!

Let me tell you about Magpie, everyone:
He loves his sleep, although is woken easily...

Sorry Magpie! Moving on...

 I named him Magpie, because he is coloured like a magpie and also
he stores items, just like a magpie!
 And no, its not just food, its chews, fragments of chewed things.
Speaking of food though, Magpie Loves his food.

And sometimes, Magpie can be a very silly boy indeed...

Now to explain to Magpie why he's being photographed...

now magpie, I photograph you so I can blog about you.

(I explain the concept of blogging to him)...


















Well Magpie, that is understandable... You are
not an adult hamster yet, though judging from your size, you are
over 4 months old. Are you excited about blogging?

Well thats good to hear Magpie!

I will post again hopefully soon, and I guarantee there will
be a lifeofhamsterblog Christmas present special!

Bye for now, and thank you to all my loyal followers
on Google+ !

Important announcement!

Hi everyone,
Due to my inability to post everyday, my blog rota has changed.
In other words I shall now update my blog weekly NOT DAILY anymore.
However, this means I have more time to select the best photos, videos, GIF's for my posts, meaning that you, the readers, will get the best posts instead of a few not-so-good daily posts. So, I shall blog later this week. Thanks for your patience,

Hamstergirl

Peanut goes to the winter Hamsterlympics

hi everyone!

firstly, a big appology to everyone who reads my blog,
as i have not blogged for an entire week!

in other news though, because the Winter Olympics is on TV,
Peanut has gone to the Winter Hamsterlympics!
see how she got on...

I'm just getting everything ready, Peanut.
Be patient!

 ( a small correction for picture above -
ooh! the gate is open! )
welcome to the Winter Hamsterlympics Peanut!

( snowball was fast asleep so I thought
it wouldn't be fair to wake her up )

( dont worry, its not actual snow
neither is it fake snow, its paper )

unfortunately due to low budget and lack
of time, you will only be trying one sport.
But, you can still have fun.

get ready Peanut!

and all hamsterlympic events,
its not as easy as it looks...

Snowball's symphony

her latest symphony on my recorder...

another post tommorow,

behind the scenes 2

hi all,

tonight its time for part two of the
 behind the scenes series :

this time around,
I will be showing you what Peanut and I do when
 its not time to do the blog yet
and Peanut is awake.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Firstly, I let Peanut have a run around on my sisters bed.
( I have a loft bed so its too dangerous to put her up there )
I also give her some treats and will usually put her in her hamster ball
if I feel like it. I often let her run on my shoulder and arms and if shes in a very good mood she
climbs up my jumper and snuffles around in my hair.The photo
below is quite a rare one, Peanut does not like getting cupped.

Peanut likes to run on my beanbag.    

















here's a picture of how i construct the blog....

now....


















this is what Peanut typed:

ghtdfkuu7565ryhgtut6tjyukft7itiuferyyjfhyugt78ergygyfgey6t

( Peanut has not learned to type )

this seres has come to an end now,
so tomorrow I shall do an ordinary post.
I'm sure it wont be boring though.
