TED/CASSIE

Ted and Cassie both shared a love for food!!

Ted and Cassie were rescued from the same house.  A young child had purchased them from a local pet shop.  Despite his obvious love for them he did not understand how to look after them.  His parents would not allow any pets in the house and subsequently they had been kept in the garden in inadequate conditions.  Both had problems with their feet due to the cold weather at that time of year.  The cold had turned Ted's paws black and swollen and he had to have one of his fingers removed.  It was touch and go whether he would survive but he did and he became an extremely friendly hamster despite all the hassle he had been put through with endless medication.

Cassie welcomed a warm home and plenty of food to recover from her ordeal and allow her paws to get better.  She was a large hamster and very funny to watch as she always moved every morsel of food from her bowl into her nest - more often than not all in one go!  Because of Cassie and Ted's great temperament they were mated and Cassie produced 12 babies which all survived and were re-homed.
