Really healthy, live specimen that I raised and kept for a year or so. He was a bit more active and aggressive, alot like the male Regius that I collected for years in North Florida. These were shot with a 28mm 3.5 Ai-s Nikkor reverse mounted on a Nikon D300, which is still my favorite macro rig that I”ve ever used. Pop up flash pushed to full, with a large diffuser very close to subject.
"all hamsters follow a red string of fate to their untimely deaths" well mine all lived long lives and died of old age, maybe you were just a shitty owner<3
