Please say hello to Snowball.
He belongs to our seven-year-old neighbour who quite often has him out in the garden. She just plops him down and there he stays. The first time she did it I got in a flap as I thought he would run off and it would be bye bye Snowball (it was bad enough finding my hamster, sadly no longer with us, in an enclosed living room let alone a garden!) but I’m used to his chilled out (well he is called Snowball) ways now.
Freya LOVES him. And our little neighbour is very kind and lets her gently stroke his back. He just snuffles around, eats some grass and nuts and generally enjoys a little bit of freedom.

After The Rain 
Love this! It’s funny how all pets have their own little personalities. My guinea pigs would be off like a shot if I put them down on the grass!

I know! I don’t know any other hamster that would just sit where you put it. I was in a proper panic the first time. Thanks for commenting 🙂

It seems like she’s never expected that he would run off, so he doesn’t. So strange. Thanks Darren.

You have the best of both worlds… borrowing a pet.
He looks so cute and obviously all his needs are catered for, even freedom (to a degree) Amazing.
This would have my sister freaking… having a wee beastie off leash as it were. Even though it’s so cute ;D

Oh the panic we had doing this, he nearly was lost forever! Sounds like the neibours have a much more relaxed hamster
