A couple of days ago I adopted a sweet little Campbell’s dwarf hamster, and I’d like to introduce you all! 

As you might be able to see her right eye is closed. I was told she was born blind in that eye, and this was the reason nobody had yet adopted her. They said it had always been like that, and it didn’t bother her.

I didn’t really believe that, as her eyelids are very pink and a bit swollen, but I agreed to take her, and so the first the day after I brought her home we went off to the vet. She is blind, but her eyelids are inflamed and probably quite sore so she’s been prescribed eye drops until Monday to hopefully take down the swelling. She may need to be sedated to enable the vet to have a much more thorough look inside the eye and make a decision on what to do next. They told me they can’t guarantee that they’ll be able to save the eye, so chances are she might be having an operation soon.

Despite her eye problems, she’s an incredibly sweet hamster. She hissed and squeaked angrily as she was being taken out of the cage when I was being introduced to her, but I think she’s been grabbed roughly a few times in the past (I think she was originally bought as a pet for a two year old child), and she’s already much more trusting and climbs up on my hands of her own accord.

For her fresh start, I want to give her a brand new name (she was previously called Paper). There are two that I’ve been thinking of so far linked to her whole one eyed situation - Demo (a reference to Demoman from TF2) and Leela. I prefer Demo because it fits in with all my “tech” sounding pet names. Any suggestions would be great!
