Congrats to those who guessed right. I'll have your sketch done soon! To everyone else, great guesses and thanks for participating.

Anyway, his name is Sam! I've also dubbed him the nicknames Sammy and Samster. Just like his name sake, he's very active and full of piss and vinegar! Getting a decent photo at the moment is next to impossible since he doesn't stay still for more then 2 seconds and all the other times he hides. I did manage to get some last night and somewhere in there is a decent enough one to post, which I'll do soon as I can sort through them. He spent all night trying to escape his cage, thankfully he hasn't been successful. I feel bad watching him though. I got him a Hamster ball and they told me to give him a week to get use to his new surroundings before I start trying to handle him. In the meantime he has everything he needs from food, to chew toys, and of course plenty of water. I am however going to pick him up a bigger weel today. The one that came with the cage is about as big as he is and he needs more room. The cage itself should be bigger, the girl at petco said it should be big enough, but he's a pretty big boy and a very active one at that. For now it's gonna have to do. I want my Sammy to be comfortable and get all the exercise he needs.

One of the things that drew my me to him, aside from his active personality was that he has this little chip in his right ear, similar to the way I designed my Dean hamster. http://pandajenn.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d5g19lr -- I thought that was a funny coincidence, and of course it just gives him that much more character.

This is my first Hamster and aside from the research I've done, I'm greatful for any advice you Hamster owners can give me. I got a book on Hamster care along with everything else, but I know hearing from personal experience can be just as beneficial if not more so.
