Meet Niko

[Engel]

Hi all, I picked up Niko from the re-home/adoption bit of pets at home. He's a 3 month old roborovski hamster. He is my first dwarf hamster but I think I'm doing things right. Ive had him 4 days and he's already taking food from my hand! He doesn't seem too fussed about me being in his inclosure. He'll walk over my hand and carry on hamstering about.

I'm using a bin cage which has 432 square inches of space. I know 450 is the minimum but this is the largest 'bin' I could find and to be honest it's better than the tiny foot long vivarium that he was kept in.

Any tips, tricks, advice would be greatly appreciated. As I said, he's my first dwarf hamster
