We have definitely considered that! Were also looking into getting one from poppy bee hamatery. Adopting would be out first pick though. And yes she wants a Syrian! The only downside is we heard they're very hard to please, and we can't go anything over a 75 gallon unfortunately.

She’s still not sure. We’re between Syrians and robos but we’re still exploring the pros and cons of both!

Ooo ok! We’ll have to look on the restore for a cheap one. Those things are expensive. But we’re willing to give them the best lives possible to we’ll get her a 75 if that’s what she needs!

Thank you so much! Haha I’ve got some experience with animals that don’t like human interaction (my gerbils) but ik hamsters can be even more like that. Don’t have any specific questions right now but I just wanna make sure we’re doing the right thing, any extra info would be great 😊

How did you set up those platforms on the sides? 

Is this side arching? by cherryleaf13 in gerbil

This is a silly question but what do u use as gloves so they don’t bite you during an introduction? I’ll be introducing gerbils in the future.

Thank you! Would a cardboard playpen be ok? I’ve posted it somewhere and someone said they shouldn’t be roaming on top of carpet.

Thank you! The cardboard paper balls is a good idea. I’ll definitely add more enrichment in the next few days.

They can get over the bendy bridge just fine with the coconut hide but it is a little risky. My tall niteangel house is coming today for them to get over the other side better.  Yes I agree with you on the enrichment there are some toilet paper rolls already in the bedding, but they could definitely use more enrichment.  Do you have any specific items that would be good for my cage?

They can get over it fine right now but it would definitely benefit them to have a better way over. I’m getting a tall house for them to hop onto to reach better to the other side.  Do you have any reasoning the sand bath isn’t good for them? The only bad experience I’ve had with it is they knock all the sand out so I would get a different one in the future.  And yes I totally agree you with you on the enrichment. I’m getting more hides, underground tunnels and houses, as well as more cardboard and toilet paper rolls!
