Happy Valentine's Day! I love my fluffy little hamsters! And even though they aren't all that great at doing photo shoots, I love taking pictures of them. I have consented to the fact that I won't get any pictures at all unless there is food involved. And even with the food, they still might decide they suddenly aren't interested in food.
Nenya surprised me the most during this because she normally grabs any food around as quickly as possible and runs everywhere. Her nickname is fatty, but on this day, she barely touched any food. Thankfully, she held still long enough to get pictures. In fact, I got through her pictures faster than any of the others because she did exactly what I wanted on the first try. She's such a good ham when she wants to be. :)
Narya was more interested in the food than I expected. She rarely shows interest in food outside her cage and even in her cage. She just doesn't have the food drive the way most hams do. That might explain why she stays so tiny. Haha! I was happy that she at least tasted the foods I offered. She took the whole piece of spinach and had a nibble of the strawberry. She's so sweet. I have the most pictures of her from this photo shoot because she is the easiest to photograph, and I can't stop myself from getting all the cute pictures!
Vilya was probably the hardest to get pictures of. He just doesn't hold still. He is a curious and confident guy so he likes to explore. He also didn't pause very long for all the food like I had hoped because he was more interested in looking for the ladies, so most of the pictures I have of him are slightly out of focus. Oh well. He is still so adorable! :)
