Thank You! I chose DASH because he does a strange thing where he runs on his wheel for a short time really fast and then stops and plops on his belly on his slide. So instead of a marathon he does a 100 yard DASH.Hello and welcome to the forum. Dash is gorgeous! How did you choose the name Dash if you do not mind me asking? We have a section on here were we post diaries for out hamsters. It would be lovely if you made a diary for Dash in the Syrian hamster section. You can post pictures and videos and anything else you may like to say about him. It is lovely to have you both here.
I will definitely do that! I am a picture junkie. I have a serious problem so there will be many entries. Thank you. I adore him!
Thank you!
Fluffy bedding is synthetic bedding sold in bags - called various names like soft nest or Kaytee Bamboo bedding (which is actually made of rayon). The danger with that or any type of fabric in a cage - is that hamsters chew and pouch things - especially things they are foraging for, to make cosy nests, and can swallow it. There have sadly been many cases of hamsters dying and found to have the stuff blocking up their intestines. So if they sold you any, best thing is to take it back or bin it. Plain white toilet paper torn into strips is the safest nesting material and hamsters like it! They pouch the paper strips and add them to their nest and can build their own big cosy nests with it. It breaks down if swallowed.
He has 2 big wheels. One kayee extreme challenge, one kayee quick clean where i put his toys, and one kayee simple starter connected by tubes. 2 hides. A sand potty and 2 big water bottles and a food dish and treat dish. Will continue to add on. Ill take a picture when he is more settled in.
