Description from Luv2bead - Little Chick: Some of you may remember that my sister's hamster, Marbles, died recently. Well yesterday there was a large bag with no name on it. After everyone had opened their presents mom said that bag was for my sister. She opened it up to find a cage with an adorable Fancy Hamster in it. She's a peachy color with 3 or 4 white spots. Mom said they'd had her for a week and we didn't even know (they must have had a good hiding place)!!! Oh and I almost forgot, mom and dad named her Peaches. What a PERFECT name!!! No other name could suit her better. I'll attach some pictures!

Luv2bead - Little Chick says:F.Y.I the photos were taken in my brothers room because that’s where Peaches stays (because there’s no room in my room [also my sisters room] because of all my beading supplies & jewelry)!!!
Here’s Peaches sleeping.

Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Nichole as always your pick is beautiful.
Peaches is an adorable little hamster. Can you tell yet if it is a boy or a girl?
My son had a hamster when he was in second grade his science teacher asked could Greg take him to school. They got a female for him and the kids all took turns taking them home over the weekends.
Science teacher built a maze for them and they used to have hamster races. It was a fun project for them that year. I am sure Georgie was a very happy boy.

Luv2bead - Little Chick says:Thanks girls! She’s so friendly (and doesn’t bite…even when we wake her up from a nap)! She’s so soft too!!! Yep my sister was/is very pleased!! Faith: Peaches is a girl!!!
Peaches is reminding me of how much I LOVED hamsters! I now have a guinea pig…which is huge compared to Peaches. I remember my last hamster, Black Beauty, had 5 babies (who all survived) two weeks after we got her!!!!!!!!!!

Chicky Suz aka Susan Z says:Hi Nicole, pretty pick for an adorable hamster! Peaches is soooo cute!!!
On Dec 27, 2009 at 10:23 am #
Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Oh my goodness a sweet little girl and so soft and beautiful. I love the name Peaches. Just right for a fuzzy peach colord fancy little girl. My kids had hamsters and a guinea pig too. The guinea pig used to squeek kissy noises every time he heard the refridgerator door open or close. When Dawn grew up she bought a fancy minature bunny named him Chappie for Charlie Chaplin. He looked like he had a mustache. He was white and black. He stood on his hind legs and hissed at me one day when I tried to help her capture him. He lived in a cage in the house. I think he knew I was afraid of those sharp front teeth.

Luv2bead - Little Chick says:Thanks!!! Faith my grandmas guinea pig (many years ago) used to do the same thing (squeak when the refrigerator opened)!!! Her name was Ms. Piggy!!! My guinea pigs name is Gypsy and her middle name is Ms. Piggy…quite a name huh?!!!

When my daughter was younger, she had hamsters, opossums, gerbils, and even a white rat — all of which were very sweet!
