4 months old

Vingdragon turned 4 months old yesterday and got some snacks to celebrate. He didn't like it though and just left pieces everywhere. :-D

I had to cut tangles out of his fur again yesterday, so he doesn't have the longest "skirt" right now.

Ikea to the rescue

My husband went to Ikea yesterday and bought plastic place mats for Vingdragån. 12 of them! Yes, a hamster needs plastic place mats - they make for great walls in an indoor enclosure for them! Hubby bought these: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/80311244/

And Vingdragån had his first outing there last night. It's been hot the last few days with temps at +30 C, so I also finally got around to providing him with a sand bath. He was confused at first, but started digging in the sand eventually.

Easy to build with a little bit of tape and provides lots of room that the hamster can't escape from! I can leave him alone in there. :-)

And very very easy to store when not in use!!
