Thanks Souffle - ok, do you have a website that you recommend that explains how to sex a hamster? I am wanting to be able to leave the pet shop knowing that I have made sure I’m taking a male home. I’m relieved to hear the coat will improve when I bring the hamster home.
Can you brush a long haired Syrian - they aren’t as long as the teddy bears but there is some length? Meaning is it common practice to groom them? I know toothbrushes are used on teddy bears.
