I got a hamster around a week ago! She's a 1.5 year old female dwarf hamster, and I was able to get her from someone who was looking to get rid of their hamsters (since there are no ethical breeders or even shelters in or near my area, that was the next best option). After a lot of thinking and looking at name ideas, I decided on the name Skye (I think it's really pretty-sounding)! She's been burrowing a lot ever since she came, and zooms really really fast on her Niteangel wheel every night. :D

 

Currently she is in a 650 sq in cage, but we are upgrading her to a 900 sq in enclosure very soon. That way, we'll be able to fit in much more enrichment and bedding for burrowing! 

 

I'm so glad we didn't have to support the overcrowded pet store in my area, and are instead able to help Skye have a better life than than she had before!  :veryhappy:

Skye is so cute!
Congrats!
 

Do you have any pics of the cage? I would love to see :)

650 is pretty good, but its very good you are upgrading her to a 900 sq. inch enclosure!

I'm sure she is so happy and you are too!
 

Congrats on the hammy!

I was able to get some pictures today of her current cage. ^^ In case you're wondering, she's currently on paper-based bedding and birch wood shavings. However, when the new stuff arrives I will switch out the bedding for plain paper-based bedding, timothy hay, and maybe some aspen shavings (instead of birch)!

And good news, I ordered the new enclosure, and it's supposed to arrive today! I will definitely update after setting it up. :D
