Damn

Yes I can get Harry Hamster, I'll get him some tomorrow Thank you

I weighed him when I cleaned him out and he's 155g seems a little low to me but I don't know a huge amount yet

155g isn't necessarily too small, there are hams who are healthy at that size especially in america where hams tend to be smaller anyway. But if you're concerned he's a bit thin then there's no harm fattening him up a little bit it's hard to get a ham really overweight since they're so active.

Just remember to ease him onto a new food over maybe a week or 10 days, feed both and slowly increasing the proportion of the new food. You do have to be careful with rodent foods, apparently any brand can just write "complete" on the bag whether it's good quality or not

Oh he is a cutie! Gah, I have a weakness for long haired syrians (although my two long-haired are tufty, not so much...longy...if that makes sense)

Hello Odi

[flowerfairy]

What a real beauty. My last hamster, Harvest was just like that only female so not nearly as fluffy.
