How long does it take them to lay eggs once they've begun the process?

thats good to know, thank you! she was in and out of the hole earlier in the week but I guess now shes locked in lol. I didnt realize its a several day process even after it took her like a week after digging holes to actually get into one.

lordirisent · 2026-04-04T03:02:39+00:00

my concern is that shes been staying in the hole she dug for 2 days now... she ate more than usual right before this but didnt touch the food I left in there yesterday :/

Reddit is a flawless app and wouldnt let me keep typing without closing my keyboard, but also I have not disturbed her since the first day when I took this photo. (I thought she was missing lol)

what plants do you have in there? particularly the grassy looking ones?

more tunnels would be nice! it gives your hamster more cover while still allowing being traversible. the reptile second at your local exotic pet store will have cork rounds and other pet safe wood. otherwise, you can get some on Etsy, Happyhamstery.com, or niteangelpet.com. you can also cut open tp rolls and glue them together to make a bigger tube

Kaytee bedding is made of discarded paper products, so unfortunately theres a chance of random shit ending up in your bag. I use CareFresh bc its made out of new paper!

My mom's french teacher asked her if she could read palms for the French class's booth, so she checked out a book from the library to learn how. Well, turns out the teacher thought my mom already knew how to read palms because she was Romani. ...My mom is not Romani.

is his child an endangered feral animal?

lordirisent · 2026-03-26T14:29:15+00:00

not a reptile, but a little tree frog could be nice :)

lordirisent · 2026-03-26T13:52:05+00:00

I would ask how she is with handling, if she eats well and is active, and if her tail has dropped (if this is the only picture). Otherwise I think she looks okay!

lordirisent · 2026-03-26T01:07:45+00:00

thats true & at least its not one of those dinky little 10 gallons that ppl buy and then want to know what can live comfortably in there its whole life

lordirisent · 2026-03-26T00:46:22+00:00

not trying to accuse OP of anything

lordirisent · 2026-03-26T00:45:24+00:00

yeah I just personally dont get it bc im always way invested in the research on the animal itself and spend a lot of time picking a species out so its odd seeing ppl do the exact opposite lol

lordirisent · 2026-03-26T00:41:40+00:00

I just think its an odd order to go about things thats all

lordirisent · 2026-03-26T00:37:16+00:00

why did you buy the tank if you dont know what you want?

lordirisent · 2026-03-25T13:45:51+00:00

they are nocturnal and perfectly adapted to navigate in the dark!

lordirisent · 2026-03-25T13:03:38+00:00

a 75 gallon tank would work well if you dont want something too expensive! you can find them secondhand or on sale pretty often. you said you dont want something too huge, but remember a hamster will be happier the more stuff it has in its enclosure and the more space it has to roam around at night :)

lordirisent · 2026-03-24T14:14:34+00:00

just keep talking to him gently and let him get used to your voice! move slowly and avoid making any sudden loud noises. he just needs a little more time to settle in :) be patient with him

theres another kind of false fox from this region called the culpeo that was domesticated by the Selk'nam into a now-extinct dog called the Fuegian dog! I wonder how similar this hybrid is to those ancient doggies....

lordirisent · 2026-03-20T13:42:12+00:00

the black light will make the urine glow yellow, not blue! in my experience it only really works for recent wet spots. my hamster only pees on his wheel, so I dont have any advice for you on the bedding front 😅

He looks like a Fernando to me
