this would be very helpful thank you!
Syrians are a whole lot bigger Pippin our Syrian is approx. 210grams in weight I think dwarves are in the 45-65gram range, they can be feisty but brilliant and clever too..
You will need a good sized cage for a Syrian Pip lives in an Alaska cage which is pretty big but by no means the biggest.
I wish we could have another one to go with Pip I have seen one locally too, that has been in the pet shop place for sometime and has grown quite big he/she is a long haired black one and looks adorable.
