Introducing our new family member, Olive the Roborovski hamster or dwarf hamster. Apparently my boy got it's name from the cartoon Popeye the Sailorman.
We got ourselves a Syrian hamster too which to be introduced later on.
Olive is very small and fast. Although you can pet her it's best just to observe her because she can be quite jumpy by the slightest sound. Even though we had her for 2 months now, she is still scared of human touch.
Since little Olive is such a scaredy cat I built her a hideout. I bought the little hideout for less than RM5.00 at a pet shop since it's an old stock. And decided to 'renovate' the little cage.
Little Olive loves to peek through her little window.
The second floor with wide opening which I use to store her food.
There she goes looking for food.
With ice-cream, I aligned the stick to build her stair to the top floor.
Using ice-cream stick and drawer partition, I built the first floor with very small opening.
This is a just a simple design using a plastic house. You can build yours from scratch using cardboard too.
