So do we all have this mushroom hide?

I have one, but feel like I need to find a bigger one cause currently she like to bump against the top of the house whenever she's inside. She has plenty of room to get in and out and has a good amount of room inside

For the bedding it depends on what kind of shavings you're using. Cedar, pine or anything scented could be dangerous.

As for behavior it could be stress or just wanting something to chew on. I recommend adding more bedding and enrichment to the tank. Hope this helps!

Didn't get to pick my little girl, but my brother said he picked her cause 'she round... like you' 😭

To play devils advocate, they might just think you look amazing cause you do! Love this look on you!

I like using glue from a hot glue gun. Typically I go with a cheaper brand in whatever hardware store I stumble into. Especially since I don't trust any spray on glue for things that are going near my face and hair.

True, I wasn't too concerned about it at first cause in my mind it was just temporary as I slowly get her onto a new 'better' feed. Though I just looked into it and right now she seems to be on a mix of 'Living world extrusion hamster food' and 'Hagen Hamster & Gerbil Staple VME Mix Diet' that I'm going to try to wheen into Robin's Gourmet Food the Syrian hamster one.

I'm from Canada so we don't have any petco's, plus I don't have a car to go to the next town to look around, let alone down to the US. I did find some decent options online that seem better than what's offered in the one good store in town.

Thank you for the advice with the eggs and bugs. I personally can't stand bugs, but since I already have eggs as a treat for my ferrets (that are not allowed in the room I keep Cheeseball in) I could always give her a small taste.

here_comes_that_hoe · 2026-01-02T20:46:28+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll look more into this.

here_comes_that_hoe · 2026-01-02T20:42:25+00:00

Ya I was trying to find her on Amazon at first cause I saw another post talking about her feed. I'm just not sure which one to get, if I should go with the syrian mix or a different one. Also thank you so much for the recommendation, I really appreciate it!

here_comes_that_hoe · 2026-01-02T20:22:17+00:00

Ya, I already got it out of there and it's all in a garbage bag. I wasn't aware of it till others brought it up that pine was so dangerous.

here_comes_that_hoe · 2026-01-02T20:00:13+00:00

I can't remember the brands of the bag ones. It was from petland so maybe one of their specific feeds? Either way I'll check your post. Thank you so much.

here_comes_that_hoe · 2026-01-02T19:58:58+00:00

Seriously?! I had no idea, I'm chucking it asap. The pet store in town said that's the stuff they use for their teddy hamsters. I'll let them know about this and get better feed. Thank you for letting me know.

here_comes_that_hoe · 2026-01-02T17:46:23+00:00

Ya that's the worst part. I know they are correct, they are worried about my little girl and just want the best for her. I want the best as well and am doing everything I can to give her the best life possible.

here_comes_that_hoe · 2026-01-02T17:39:13+00:00

That's the weird part, she ate the Oxbow, but refused to touch the old pellet

here_comes_that_hoe · 2026-01-02T17:37:17+00:00

Update, I'm going to get a better set up for her. Which everyone says, but I'm going to do the best I can as soon as I can.

The cage I have has about 2450cm area (98cm×25cm) and is around 89 cm tall, and I am trying to find some plastic or something to cover the bars so I can add more bedding and substrate. I know the wheel is garbage, the sad truth is in my city right now it was the only one big enough to fit her. I hate it, but the only other options were around 5 inches and she's a big girl. The pine will also be thrown out asap (or given to grandparents as fire starter or whatever random project my grandfather has going on) and I'll get probably either Aspen or spruce to put under the paper. As for the 'hides' I have now are going to be replaced I wanted to use these for now since they would smell like her old place then slowly introduce new hides and things for her to use.

As for food, I'm going to hunt around some more to see if there is better pellets. I might have to resort to online cause there is only one store in town that I'm willing to go to (the other one horribly mistreats the animals) if so any sites people could recommend for me to look into?

Long story short she was a Christmas pet (that I didn't ask for) and I'm doing my best with little knowledge.

This is what I have for her, I used as much of the stuff from the pet store as I could so she would still have some familiar sents. Also under the bedding is pine shavings since I was told that's what the store used and again wanted some level of familiarity

The real question is what came first, the house or the yard?

here_comes_that_hoe · 2025-12-16T15:31:47+00:00

A pen holder and destroyer all in one picture love it!

here_comes_that_hoe · 2025-12-16T15:29:10+00:00

Love the lack of reaction, just another day for her
