She’s honestly an absolute doll, and we bonded very quickly! I read her breed is very friendly compared to others which I didn’t know before I bought her, just got lucky I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

Got my first Hamster last week. I prepared a month in advance before I finally got him. Do you think he’s gonna have a long coat in the future?

From the way he is looking at me I guess he is conspiring something big against me as I picked him out of his cozy box without permission!?

Question Protein Opposed

Post image
152 Upvotes

Hello there!!

My little Georgie is staunchly opposed to most protein sources I've offered him: he does not enjoy peas, chickpeas, mealworms, or freeze dried crickets. I am rather worried because he's about 25g below where I'd like him to be. For context, he's about 125g, and I'd like to fatten him to around 150g.

Does anyone have any ideas on better protein sources to give him? Can I offer buckwheat pasta or tofu? I have some minnow treats on the way, but my hopes are not high.

Dangerous product Is this ok or dangerous?

I know bendy bridges that have gaps are dangerous and should be filled with moss.

What about these willow tunnels? They also have gaps🥹

But I often see them at hamster owners.

Are these safe?

Do you have any experience with them?

Question Robo keeps mistaking my finger as food

3 Upvotes

Hey y'all!

So as part of the bonding process with my robo, I try to make it routine to give him a treat whenever a see him. To advance a little bit, instead of dangling the treats for him to take, I'm trying to put them on my hand. Butttt, he keeps going for the tips of my fingers, and it's not in a cute light nibbling way, but more I can feel the pressure and sharpness from his teeth. I don't think he's doing it to be defensive since he never lunges himself at me, but hey I could be wrong.

Any tips?

First Time Owner TEMPORARY enclosure! Thoughts on what I can add to her permanent enclosure?

Post image
• Upvotes

My hammy is going to be here tomorrow! She is a heavily stressed black Syrian hamster. Sweeter than apple pie but the store I am getting her from has kept her in a tiny enclosure with no water or proper food. She has a massive bald patch on her snout from the stress she’s been under. This temporary bin cage is 101x50x45, not super duper big but enough to keep her sane until I can buy her new enclosure (when I have the funds :,))!

Substrate mix is aspen and paper bedding. Her wheel is 12 inches. I think I deffo need more hides for her, so imma make those, for sure!

First Time Owner First 48h disturbed

Post image
25 Upvotes

I brought her home yesterday afternoon and since then she’s been undisturbed. About an hour ago the fire alarm in the room went off; I was worried it was real so put her with her bedding into her carry-on, with a jumper over the top to keep it dark, and took her downstairs and across the street to wait it out. As soon as it was finished I brought her back in and she’s been in her cage since. She spent the first few minutes scrambling around in her box and then went to sleep, and I had to wake her up to put her back in her cage. She went back to sleep in her little hut almost immediately.

I couldn’t carry the cage since it’s a metre long and I was by myself. I kept it as quiet as I could and she slept through most of it. The fire alarm is not going to be a regular event and was incredibly unexpected.

I’m really worried about messing up the first 48 hours that are meant to spent alone decompressing. Should I wait for an additional day to let her get back to normal?

Ham picture for tax. Her name is Shirley.

Panpan and Baba are around four to five months old now, and I thought it might be time for them to try some pasta. I found some heart-shaped pasta, and Panpan loved it. Baba, on the other hand, is not a big fan of treats and prefers spray millet instead. 🍝❤️

P.S. They are housed separately, as the AI MOD is concerned. 😅
