In August i'll be Hammy sitting my friends Dwarf Comet! I'm so excited. Here is a picture of him:

Does anyone know what type he is? My friend says he's a Russian, so i'm guessin he's a Hybrid

Yep! That's a "Russian", aka "hybrid". What a cute lil ball of fluff! I love the name Comet.

Awww he is gorgeous! No wonder you're excited.
If your friend doesn't know any more than that he's a russian & didn't get him from a breeder then he will be a hybrid.

He definitely is a cute lil'oldie. I think the name really suits him. I used to own 11 Argente Campbelle Dwarves a while back now, so i'm very excited to look after this lil guy as i haven't been in contact with a dwarf in a while

Yeah i thought so, He adopted him. We don't know how old he is but he thinks he's pretty old now due to his fur turning grey and Comet becoming a little grumpy.

I love how big and cute his eyes are! so sweet

He's adorable! You're a very lucky babysitter!

I am! haha. He's very cute

He's a little beauty! His eyes and ears are sooo cute!

Comet is coming today! Very excited to look after the little guy. I was wondering would it be best to leave him in his cage without out of cage time? I don't want to stress him out with the unfamiliar smells and such. He gets a lot of time out at his owners house so I'm not sure what to do.

If he's used to having lots of out of cage time he might be fine, there's no way to know for certain without trying tbh, see how settled he seems in his cage & if he appears confident & curious then try taking him out for a short time, I doubt that would stress him out too much & if he doesn't seem happy about it then just leave him to do his own thing in the cage.
