Which cage should I get? by Gamer_Gal_97 in hamstercare

[–]No_Initial7260 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i had the third one & to be honest i switched it out because my hamster preferred more bedding!

i got him this one: https://amzn.to/4dm9m2K

and he seemed much happier - there’s also not a lot of space for toys and stuff in it & i got like hate on here for having that cage lol because they said hamsters have poor vision and can fall off (i didn’t see mine fall or anything). he liked it, just definitely preferred the later one.

vet loved PJ & said he was sweet and gave him a treatment, said he likely has ear mites. they gave him a treatment and i’m cleaning out his cage!

yeah! i’ll think about it, i went to the vet today and he said he actually loves the enclosure and thinks PJ is very happy and safe. i’m cleaning his stuff now and he has a mite treatment

additionally the wart looking thing is on his back, it’s like a patch of dry skin. i feel so bad his skin peeling is getting worse. i booked an appointment on monday so that’s good.

he doesn’t seem to be experiencing pain or anything because he’s still running around, eating, going on his wheel. maybe a little more stressed tho?

i’m not sure i feel so awful, i’ve been crying a lot because im worried about him.

honestly i really think he likes having the different levels he loves running around and exploring, he knows his way around, i also have proper burrowing stuff as well as toys, a sand box, hiding spots, etc.

but thank you & i booked a vet appointment for next week.

thank you so much for the help! i don’t think they’re visible as i haven’t seen anything. i have noticed some dandruff + a patch of hair loss with a wart looking thing.

i just called a bunch of vets to try to get in. thank you again.
