Hammy's eyes just started opening a tiny bit in the middle so should I start to expect more activity out of him? I just got our FV formula last night and started the transition from the GM to the FV so he should start gaining weight hopefully soon! He will come out to crawl around about 10-30 minutes before our next scheduled feeding so now that his eyes are opening, should he be getting more active? I think he is 4.5 weeks by pictures and descriptions. Looking at those other pictures makes me realize how small he seems, he was very small and fragile when I got him which makes me wonder how long he was left alone :-/ He has been getting 4 ccs every 4 hours even at night. He will sometimes still seem hungry but then will fall asleep in my hand everytime. After every feeding his belly is a nice round shape, but not a bloated size. What do ya'll think?
This is him curled up into his little ball sleeping :-)

Once the eyes open they start to try to explore a little more but the ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ takes them pretty quickly after they eat still.:rotfl At about 6 weeks they suddenly start to increase their awake time and then shortly after that you will need to batten your hatches!
