A dilemma! - Page 3

I'm not sure if I could

The bin cage shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to make,and I do have an empty 20 gallon long tank to put her in while I build the tank which I can just clean out and disinfect later before I get the gerbils!However I have to buy the bin first as it is the only thing I don't have while I have mesh and zip ties.

I could get Reggie Rat and also boost protein,if that would work!The UK version gives 14% protein and the US one should too,so if I can use that with Mazuri lab blocks or if just giving mealworms or other protein every day would work that could be a good option as well.I'm not entirely sure though

LOL they won't put a hammy on layaway

Your getting gerbils and a hamster?

You should wait to buy her on Holloween and name her Holly

Yes,I am!I was trying to make a thread on that for over 2 weeks now but I can never seem to do so and actually know what to say when I try to

I already have a name picked out for the very cheeky girl,which is Lucille.It actually has to do with it being a song that played in the car on the way home that day,and I've always been very fond of the name.So,she'd be named after a Little Richard song!

That's a nice name

Hope she's yours, would be nice if you could do what Serendipity said and reserve her over the phone, ask if they take credit cards Lol

Thanks

I'd definitely try if I had my own credit card!I will keep that in mind for future hams or other pets though

I can only hope that I get to go tomorrow,and that if I do she is still there.

There was another ham in the same enclosure that was very cute,but I prefer her very demanding and attention seeking(so far)personality over the one that the other had which was seemingly very laid back if not a bit shy.

**Cinnamon Bear** · 10-22-2016, 01:49 PM

If she's not would you wait or take the shy one?

AmityvilleHams · 10-22-2016, 01:50 PM

I'd probably try and see if I could interact with the shy one first,and if it doesn't feel right I'd wait until another hamster captivates me this much.

I had that choice when I adopted Izzy, she was the more shy one than her sister Lulu who got adopted first. I had a chance but I missed it, I took too long to think about it. But I took Izzy home anyways. I never hardly see her except at feeding time, better than nothing though.
