We finally have our little chinesey!🥰
We’re all in love… he is so cute but we’re letting him settle in.
As you can see he’s been very busy burrowing!
The second photo is a close up of his bedroom but you can’t really see him very well

Congratulations! I'm sure he'll settle in soon and looking forward to hearing more about him!
 
Congrats!
Lovely to see another Chinesey on the forum, he must be loving it in there with all that substrate to burrow in.
Really looking forward to hearing more about him once he’s settled.
 
I am so happy for you! It is lovely to hear he is settling in and enjoying making burrows. :)
 
Thank you everyone.
At the moment his absolute favourite thing in his cage is the bucatstate sandbath, he spends most of his time in there. he’s pushed all the sand to one side and he’s slowly filling the other side with bedding. Anyone have any ideas why he might be doing that??
 
Congratulations and welcome Xolo!
Looking forward to meet him once he's settled in.
 
They do the strangest things sometimes! It sounds as though he could be making a little nest in there possibly. Is it still warm where you are? Just wondering if it might be a cool spot?

Forgot to say I love his name too.
 
I also love his name. Did you choose his name after the bred of dog? :)
 
Congratulations! What a lovely cage. I'm sure he will be very happy there.

That’s a good point about finding somewhere cool elusive. It’s been so hot here but it’s getting a lot cooler today.
It’s fascinating watching him investigate his cage. At the moment he’s not fussed with his wheel but again that might be due to the heat again which I hadn’t considered before

I had to google the dog RB. Looks amazing and they have a great name😉
The name is a character in Blue Beetle apparently…. The kids were in charge of naming😀

And thanks Beryl, Daisy and Maz.
I hope I can get a decent photo at some point when he’s ready…
 
Congrats on the new ham! Great looking enclosure and love that he's already burrowing in the corner. It almost sounds like he's constructing a nap spot in the sand bath, I'm curious to see what he gets up to!
 
Thanks ilguy and you’re absolutely right. He’s napping in there right now🥰
 
It's really hard at first when you have to wait and be patient for the hamster to appear!
 
Congratulations on the arrival of Xolo into your home 😄. Great name and enclosure, he’ll have lots of fun in there for sure. Look forward to hearing more about him as he settles.
 
Thank you Zara!
And thank you Maz. He’s sleeping in his sandbath today so we can keep an eye on him but we won’t start trying to tame him just yet 😊
 
I love his band too :-). So original as well.
 
Xolo disappeared for two days. In the first week he was out and about a lot while we were around and when he slept he was always by the glass or in his sand bath so we could see him all the time But then he was nowhere to be seen, I only knew by the state of his wheel that he’d be very active at night😉
Last night he came out and was exploring so me and my daughter got to watch him for a while which was lovely and he didn’t seem to mind that we were right next to him chatting away
BUT I hadn’t changed his water or scattered his food so after a while when I opened his cage I spooked him and he went into hiding again🤦‍♀️
I think it’s going to take a long time taming Xolo but it was so lovely to see him again, he’s such a cutie🥰
 
Lovely to have a Xolo update! It sounds like he is gaining in confidence but still a bit wary. Have you decided to start any taming yet?
