Hello,

I only have one suggestion... my hamsters, Gus and Rufus, expecially Rufus, love
parsnips, in any form, but particularly they seem to love parsnip soup! ^^ I've
never seen a hamster so excited as they are when they're given some.

I cannot believe your little hammy is 4 years old, that's amazing. And how
gorgeous he is too ^^
