So, my name is Abby and I’m new to owning hamsters. I haven’t gotten my new companions yet, but I am in three weeks and very excited and anxious. Ive read several articles and books and watched numerous videos on YouTube and I am already very knowledgeable on hamsters. I am hoping to get two male roborovkis and name them boo boo and pepper mint (or pepper or mint for short) I have read that they may fight and so I’m taking extreme caution and if I fight I will put a divider in the cage until I get one more big cage. I think the day of we will go to petco or petsmart and get cage supplies and the cage or tank then go home and set up then come back with a cage for transport with some bedding and hide out with a few sunflower seeds just to make them feel welcome and then immediately transfer them from travel cage to their nice big home. I know they are nocturnal and need a HUGE cage. I have a huge desk I am going to clear off and put the cages on top along with a jar of specialty treats then in two bins I will put in one of them cleaning stuff (bedding, scoop, scrubbers for dishes and bottle, and a spray cleaner.) then in the other one food supplies (the bag of food, some treats, cutting board for veggies and a knife, a table spoon scoop, extra replacement dishes just in case, maybe an extra bottle two, also extra toys will be stored in a small container within this bin.) the things I’m scared about Is how to get the most stress free transport and first days possible so my new pets don’t get wet tail which I’m very scared about. I also would like to find some cheaper toys for them so I can get more (my budget is 150 dollars not including the hamsters) I also heard if you get a little reptile water dish an fill it up just a tiny bit it’s the perfect little cool down for your hamster to just sit in. Does anyone have any tips for me?
