Mealworms for Vingdragån

Currently I'm a huge fan of the pet shop Zoo-1 here in Drammen. They gave me their leftover dried mealworm crumbs when they didn't have any for sale, and then special ordered them for me (well, for Vingdragån). My more local pet shop just informed me that no, they don't have dried mealworms, but they sell live ones. Not a pip about maybe getting the dried variety for me. I'm not feeding Vingdragån live mealworms, I do not care! Zoo-1 to the rescue, though, so now I don't have to stop in Oslo to get dried mealworms anymore!

Vingdragån is one happy ham.



Have a few photos from today's mealworm sessions as well:

A little outing in the sand box

Vingdragån finally got the point with the box of sand tonight. He was out & about as his cage was getting cleaned.

Evening snack

A few photos of Vingdragån's fur from last night. He's 5.5 months old now.

Tired hamster won't say hi

My parents stopped by yesterday and wanted to meet Vingdragån. It was 6.30pm, so really, he could have done them the favour of waking up. But he didn't! He didn't show his little face until 10pm yesterday, and even then he didn't exactly look wide awake :-D

Hamster not doing the expected

So, Vingdragån enjoys his occasional dried mealworm. I often hold the box by the cage door and he helps himself right out of the box.

Today he was ambling around on his roof, and I thought it would be a cute video to put the box of mealworms right there and let him have a go at it:

Yesterday's outing

He got up late yesterday too and was out of his cage for all of 5 minutes. Here he is back in his cage.

Sleeping in

Vingdragån really prefers to get up well after dark. The problem with that is it gets dark later and later this time of year.

He showed his face for some broccoli around 8pm yesterday and I tried to keep him out of his cage for a bit. But he was so tired!! I felt bad for him and put him back in his cage and didn't see him again that day.
