Mr Sir Pebs is a distinguished floofy gentleman who sleeps throughout the day without a single care in the world. Pebs is short for pebble since he literally looks like one! He is a curious but rather shy boy that does not bite, but would be interested to sniff your fingers to see if you came offering any treats. With a great temperament, he has not chomped on anyone and does not mind being held. Occasionally, he may even snuggle in your palms. He is (sadly) not toilet trained and would pee wherever he wants to, and would not sleep in it so he does smell rather pleasant.
Like most hammies, Sir Pebs despises daytime and only comes out to explore or run the wheel when it is dark. Though he is somewhat a ghost hammie, he could easily be found in his usual sleeping spots (mostly in ceramic hideouts). Occasionally, you may catch him coming out to lick his water bowl or gathering more bedding for his hideouts. Upon being woken up from his sleep, he will often give side-eye and furiously dig the bedding (very cute HEHE).
Fun fact: he could be easily lured out with sunflower seeds! It is also the only thing he accepts while being outside his enclosure, and would happily de-shell or pouch them immediately. Sir Pebs’ special carry/snuggle service: only accepts sunflower seeds as payment! :)
