FEATURE - Hamster Bob wird bei Halterin Keti Kraja zum Fotomodel
Bob playing piano (Collect/PA Real Life). *** Mum who turns family hamster into a "rodent supermodel" hopes his
amazing photoshoots will feature on the cover of National Geographic
one day
By Joe Pagnelli and Danielle Desouza
A mum-of-two who has become "obsessed" with her photogenic pet hamster hopes her
ravishing rodent who loves to pose up for adorable photoshoots will one day feature on the
cover of National Geographic.
Keti Kraja, 37, welcomed Bob the eight-month-old hamster into her home in Ravenna, Italy,
after her children Gabriel, 10, and Joy Motta, 12, begged her for a pocket-sized friend - and
they quickly realised their camera friendly pet could be a mini supermodel.
The hunky hamster is dedicated to his craft and spends up to an hour a day posing up for
Keti, who owns a swimwear company, and has already filled her camera roll with more than
2,000 snaps of him bowling, painting and even enjoying a boozy Christmas.
Explaining how Bob started modelling, Keti said: "When I would go around the house, and
when I saw my kids' toys and they were so small like the Barbie's house, little cars and Legos
and Id take them and just place Bob to pose in there.
"He looked at me with just confusion at first but now he runs to the sets I prepare and Ill
just snap away.
"The more photos I took, the more I wanted to take them."
Luckily, Bob soon got the picture - and within about a month Keti could tell he felt confident
and loved participating in the shoots, as she could see he felt safe to stay in place.
Keti said: "Hes so still when he is modelling and he looks at me. He loves posing. Hes got
these two big eyes - hes stunning and its so funny.
"Now Im always out shopping for Bob for the photoshoots, buying him props and toys."
In July 2021, Keti was looking to buy a hamster as a gift for her childr en after they had
pestered her for years to have a pet.
She eventually found Bob at a pet shop in Ravenna, where he was on sale for just £10 (12 *
