Hey! Im nix and i have 1 female syrian

[nix]

Hey so im 15 years old and recently got a new syrian hamster. Her name is Nilla nad she is very gentil amd handle-able. I have had hamsters in the past but embarrassingly subscribed to the awful pet store advive for my care. I am doing my absoloute best to do better now that i know and would LOVE any advice. The only thing to remember is im in the uk, i dont have my own income and im on a budget.

Hello & welcome to the forum.
I think most of us on here are in the UK so you should find most of the advice & articles here helpful.
Your ham sounds lovely, it would be nice to see some photos of her if you have some.
There’s already lots of info here if you have a browse around, if you have any specific things you’d like help with just ask.

Hello nix and welcome to the forum!

Like you, i started off by listening to pet shops and all that comes with it.

Mainthing is that you are here now to learn more about hamster care and to be part of this friendly hamster community.

If you have any questions - feel free to ask . Cage is usually the first thing people ask about How long have you had Nilla? Assume she's settled into her cage if she is nice and gentle for handling. It can take them about two weeks to fully settle into a cage. The main thing is plenty of cosy substrate
