Default Petunia <3

The earliest my mom would allowed me to get another hamster is November 1. So today, my dad and I went to see my local Pet Supplies Plus store if I would connect with any of their hamsters. Asked if they have any hamsters up for adoption, but they didn't so I look at the ones they do have available. Also they were in the middle of cleaning the cages.
There were only syrians and robos there. A black banded male syrian was climbing up the grate vent, wanting to get. A almost fully black female syrian was screeching because she wasn't happy in the tote as her cage was being clean. Another female syrain that was black and white, with the black heavily mottled on her back. There was even a male syrian with similar markings to Georgia. There were two female and four male robos.
Two of the males were all white and a female with only a spot on her head. Felt a slight connection with the almost white female. My dad tried to convince me to get the other female with more brown coloring(he also like that one). Due to my mom doesn't want me to get an all white one, so I called her and asked if having a spot is ok. She said, "if you like that one, I don't care."

Despite my dad trying to redirect me, I've already fell in love with the little almost all white female robo.
And her name is Petunia <3,

Congrats on getting Petunia, she looks really sweet & that little spot is quite adorable!

The 8" wheel will be fine, as long as it spins easily, you don't want anything smaller than that.

Petunia looks so sweet. Have fun both of you. The wheel could be ok to use. It can take them a while to learn how to control their speed on the wheel. They sometime flip over or fall out of the wheel, so keep toys etc away so f she falls out she won’t hit anything hard.

Thank you everyone! Got a 6 inch silent spinner wheel, wanted a silent runner wheel, but the smallest size they come in is the 9 inch wheel. The 8 inch wheel kinda turn for her, but it was hit or miss. Sometimes she'll be halfway up the wheel trying to get it to turn.

She had managed to get on top of the shoe box house,

but she slipped down the back.

Today, I woke up to her scratching something along with my younger brother's alarm around 11am-12. When I got out of bed to check on her, she was in the tissue box trying to dig her way out XD.

She is so silly, I even found her still in there a few hours later .

Lovely pics, I think she would have managed fine with the silent runner. It is very easy to turn, even for little hams

She is having fun exploring. Some torn up tissue in the tissue box will be nice for her.
