Our little guy passed away to be reunited with Antonina in the early hours of this morning. He was a wonderful little character and we'll miss him.
RIP Bob, reunited with Antonina.
Love you little guy.

Should explain, that Bob came to me with Antonina off our local Freecycle. (They'd been put on twice in less than a week.... :tired:) I was told, and foolishly believed, them both to be female. They co-existed together happily for over a year before I was cleaning them out one day and came across two little pink critters. One was sadly stillborn, the other a healthy, wriggly little man.
Sadly I had to separate them after this happened and I don't think either of them was as happy. They'd bonded a lot and although I considered getting Bob neutered I thought he'd be too old and most of the vets in our area won't neuter rodents.
He loved his wheel (until recently) and was a massive character in a tiny body.
Junior still lives with us, and is a happy healthy teeny russian. (Actually, he's fairly strapping for a dwarf hamster.)

RIP Bob

Am laying the little guy to rest next to Antonina tomorrow. Am then hoping to find a plant that spreads across rather than a bushing type plant so any ideas are appreciated.

Thinking about you JS :hug:
Bob had the best home ever with you

JS :hug:
As for a plant, how about a nice scented thyme - lemon thyme is pretty - variegated leaves and a wonderful lemon scent, plus it spreads outwards and does well in a sunny spot, or sweet woodruff is nice in a shady spot, and spreads really well, or alternatively any form of Star of Bethlehem (a prostrate form of campanula) which grows like wildfire, has beautiful blue or white bell-type flowers and grows happily in sun or shade.

So Sorry JS,
RIP little Bob.
Sue's suggestion of Star of Bethlehem is one I second, it is a beautiful litle plant.

Thank you. Have looked up Star of Bethlehem and it wouldn't look too odd where Bob and Antonina are. (Around the edge of the lawn) so will look for some seeds on EBay.
