Welcome to Herb Garden Manor it's not a location but a place my heart for all of the hamsters I've raised and loved.
I've been a prep cook for over a decade so I've decided to name all of my hamsters after herbs. Looking forward to sharing all of the moments and memories that make this garden grow.

I'm going to miss Basil so much. I've mourn properly, the next step is to prepare for our next hamster, Sage.

The theme of Basil's first and only birthday was " Basil is ONE happy camper"
We gave him carrot baby food and lettuce for the first time, along with all of his other favorite treats. He stayed in his playpen for a whole 30 min!!! that's forever for a hamster.

I loved his sweet face I loved his bubble tea eyes I loved his tiny hands and how he took such small poliet bites. I loved Basil so much. he looked like a dollop of orange pudding with chocolate chips.

We always had air conditioning for Basil but sometimes he would go flat to cooldown. his favorite spots were the stone coaster and on top of his sand bath

he loved whimzees so much!! I loved watching him carry it around like a dog. He always had a VERY specific place in mind when he picked them up and would get so mad if I had to move it

It took Basil MONTHS to finally break the walnut. I love hearing him gnaw on it for hours every day like a dog with a bone.

Basil slept under the frame of his wheel so a lot of the time he would be above the bedding and just be angry that the sun was out.

This was his favorite toy, a rattan ball, Basil loved it so much i would often have to break some of it so he wouldn't get his head stuck. I wish I could have given him more.

It also took Basil a long time to run on his wheel, he wasn't used to the larger wheel and kept sliding forward for a few months.
He was never much of a runner though and preferred to dig in his burrows

Basil was so bad at this wooden puzzle toys, we would put his favorite treat sunflowers and he would spend HOURS trying to open them, it took him a year to figure out he could use his hands to lift the lid then eat the treats.

This is from when I first brought Basil home, he was so friendly right from the start. He took a while to figure out how to burrow.

This was all of the supplies I had before taking our first hamster home, some stuff like the chinchilla house I ended up giving away before I even brought anyone home, some stuff like the carrier I tried to replace but didn't.
