Mr Marshmallow, two years old and Mr Liquorice, just a few months, and Anton is happy to spend his time spoiling them.

Anton said: "I first started by doing taste tests with my hamsters to figure out what they like.

"The first thing Mr Marshmallow ever tried was some watermelon, and he loved it.

"At the start, I just tried him on some different fruits and veggie,s but then I decided I wanted to start making him some meals to try.

"So I did a bunch of research and followed some recipes I found online, but then I decided I wanted to try and make my own things for him.

"I made him spaghetti with a sauce, a hamster-friendly cheesecake, and apple pie.

"Since then I have made a bunch of new things for him to try like, a curry, marshmallows, pumpkin pie and many more. I have so much fun thinking of new things for him to try because he absolutely loves his food.

"It's very rare that I find something that Mr Marshmallow doesn't like.

"Mr Liquorice is still new so he hasn't tried too many things yet, but he did try some pancakes for pancake day and he really enjoyed them."
