I've just gone through this thread as an "aide memoire", given that our new hammy is imminent...thankfully I'd already considered everything mentioned...Aidan and me are nocturnal creatures so we should both get along fine with our Syrian!
We have no pets and we've got holidays covered so there's no problem there. As for stimulation etc I'm sure that we'll both find it very difficult to leave our new addition alone to begin with although we are aware that "he" (really a "she" but Aidan doesn't know that as he really wanted a male) will need "hammy time", just as we need our own space. He will be housed downstairs so our sleep regimes shouldn't be affected.
I found this really useful. Thanks a lot.
