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
143 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.

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. 😅

First Time Owner First 48h disturbed

Post image
24 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?

Question Changing wheels

Post image
18 Upvotes

So I’m changing the wheel to my girl soon and am very much overthinking this. She’s had her old one almost all her life and it’s the one I got with her. I personally think it’s bordering on being too small so I got her a new one. It’s still on its way but I’m thinking of how to change it out. Do I just swap them or do I let her have both for a little bit to get used to it? Does it matter if I do either?

I’m very inclined to overthinking(GAD goes brrrr) so how would you go about it?

I doubt it matters but she’s a dwarf hybrid

(Hammy tax paid of course. Her name is Fridolina and she’s my babygirl)

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?

First picture is happy hamstery (absolute no shade. Happy Hamstery is like a respectable reference for me. Second is fressnapf (multifit)

And thank you so much guys you help me keep my little girl happy🥹❤️ (here is her sleeping in her wheel from her playpen)
