Meet Charlie
Had to put him in a second box cuz he chewed thru his first despite adding bedding, treats, and some food.


Charlie is my new best friend and has not once tried to bite.
He did flip over playing dead a couple times briefly and I was like “I didn’t mean to startle you” and he would just sniff my hand and go back to chewing thru the box
Eventually he did escape, I looked down and he was in the buggy
I was like, “Charlie!!!” “that’s not safe”
And he let me pick him up and snuggle him

He made it home safely and started exploring his living room den

He had water, he relocated his entire bowl of food under his den, where he also moved some straw as well as took breaks to eat the straw, before moving strands to the basement zone

Now Charlie is resting under the den and he has not even seen his bedroom double layer mansion – he’s already worked so hard

The mansion in the box…
I have insomnia so I got a nocturnal creature
Makes total sense
But I fell in-love with Charlie even tho I was going in for a mini newborn Black Bear hamster
I got a 14 month adult Teddy Bear hamster instead

I knew upon our afternoon meeting yesterday, while you were stuffing your greedy little face, that you were the one
I also bought you the exact shit you like plus shit you ain’t never tried

I think your basement needs more but also I gotta install your toilet in the mansion

That’s right, your mansion comes with its own bathroom

And the two-story mansion + roof with tunnel – is in my bedroom
So you can keep me up all night stirring

And we can sleep during the day like vampires since I can’t do much anything else
Charlie was the first to say hi
And I was okay with getting an adult
Charlie needed a home and was ready to go
Like we only got one life
Charlie was ready for his purpose even if I am dying…

Many videos were uploaded on the TikTok if you wanna see him exploring his new environment
