Hamish the Hamster

Hamish’s favorite treat is a punnet of strawberries. During the summer months he often visits the local farm to stash them in his roomy cheek pouches then scampers back to his cage to bury them in his bedding. Just in case he feels like a change of diet there are also instructions to make him a tasty blueberry or a nice crunchy carrot.
