      Yeah Syrians are always a lot harder to occupy than dwarf hamsters. Penelope was biting the cage every night but her wheel finally arrived and she’s been on it constantly! I find that my Syrian hamsters use the wheel alot more than my dwarfs x

      That really interesting because my Syrian girl, Tallulah, who I’ve had for about 3 months has shown no stress signs or boredom at all. She’s made tons of borrows, ran on her wheel, played with me a bit and just seems fine. I’ve heard that female Syrians are hard to please everywhere but my girl seems just fine. I wonder why that is??

      @malicahamilton  2 роки тому

      The not really anything you can do regarding the size of the hamster however you should make sure the wheel is the correct size which is very important. The cage itself should already be big because hamsters need a lot of space. Make sure tubes and stuff your hamster might want to squeeze into is big enough so that they can’t get stuck. Other then that you should be fine.

    • @malicahamilton
      @malicahamilton  Рік тому +1

      It’s very unlikely most of them will be going to a good home. 95% of hamsters end up in horrible tiny cages to be honest.
      There’s nothing wrong with getting hamsters from pet shops. For some people It depends where the pet shops get them from / some people don’t have much choice. Hamsters from pets at home come from rodent mill and some people just don’t want to support that / the hamsters aren’t the best of quality compared to those who are from a good breeder.
      Meaning they don’t always live long or end up with some kinda illness. Every hamster I got from pets at home had something wrong with it. Isabella had a toe missing. Cashmere developed a cyst & her sister cupcake had a respiratory infection. 2 of them died before the age of 2 cashmere lasted till 2. My niece got a hamster from there and it died within two weeks. They exchange her hamster ruby for another one who I think only lasted a few months. After that she got them from a independent pet shop who have been breeding them for years. The quality of those hamsters were amazing and the hamster lived a while.
      Cupcake & cashmere were the last two hamsters I brought from pets at home. I did adopt Loki from there but I only had him for 6 months till he suddenly died. The day I got him home I noticed there wasn’t something right with him so I had to take him to the vets. He kept itching every few seconds even after going to the vets the issue continued/ he always had a squinty eye. I also adopted a hamster called pumpkin from FB who was originally from pets at home she had something wrong with her I think it was a lump above her eye & she suddenly died after 3 weeks.
      My current hamster Bluebelle i rehomed her from a site called preloved. He mum came from an independent pet shop. A lady had brought her mum and she didn’t realise she was pregnant. Bluebelle is coming up to 3 years old. I’ve never had a hamster live that long. She’s doing amazing for her old age.
      I’m never going to buy or adopt hamsters from pets at home again I’ve personally not had good experiences with them. The last hamsters I brought from there were in 2017 & the last I adopted from there was around 2019.
      Once my Russian dwarf Bluebelle passes away I will get two Chinese hamsters from the pet shop I work in. They come from a lovely place called Essex breeding centre (I think the name is different now they changed over) 💕

      @@malicahamilton when I said very small I meant the cage not the actual hamster also you could work in Petco or Petsmart selling critter trails for 10 years and still know nothing. So that proves nothing. Also I’m just stating that Syrians need more room than your average hamster and the cage is not very big for one

      You clearly didn’t watch the video then because the cage is not small 😂

    She's pretty, she is not that big, I have seen bigger.

      She’s big but there are hamsters bigger than her but she’s still on the larger size. It’s not easy to tell on camera or in most pictures
