New Additions
While browsing Craigslist a week ago I came across an ad for 2 dwarfs girls. Each came in her own tiny cage, so they were promptly placed in 20 gallon long tanks. Looking into different DIY options, but I'm going to give them time to settle and learn their needs before making final decisions. I'm estimating them to be about 4 months old based on the information I was given.
Saga is the black hammy and smaller then her sister. When awake she doesn't stop moving, and she tastes/chews on everything so I'm going to have to watch that. She is obsessed with her wheel and her sand bath. It was so adorable when she first found the sand, I think she rolled for 10 minutes straight! Oddly, Saga refuses to eat fresh food. I've tried broccoli, romaine lettuce, carrots, and hard cooked eggs but she won't touch anything. Loves mealworms so I know she's getting some protein.
Poppy is white with gray spots and the larger pf the two. She far more laid back and not picky at all. I've handled her a couple times and she seems to like the attention. Eats anything given to her and just genuinely seems to be a happy hammy. She doesn't seem to like the sand bath much but does use it as a potty area. I often see her rolling on the substrate in a corner while grooming. Silly girl!

Re: New Additions
Congrats Kelza
They both look lovely although I have such a soft spot for black hams I have a bit of a favourite already lol!
They're so lucky to have found you & I'm sure they must be loving their new home.
I've had a couple of hams who took time to get used to fresh food, if you keep trying they seem to take to it soon enough.

Re: New Additions
Thank you all! They are so fun to watch. I had been considering getting a robo but couldn't help myself when I saw them, and I like that I was able to adopt them. Our shelters around here don't often have hamsters so pet stores are usually the only option.
BorisPasha - I love Poppy's color too, looks like she's always wearing a little hat!
Cypher - I also have a soft spot for the black hammies. My first dwarf was a black RC named Darth Fluffy, and Saga looks almost exactly like he did. Unfortunately he was a biter so I was never able to handle him, and it seems like Saga is following in his paw prints.

Re: New Additions
oh my goodness! Such sweet, cute little girls! I love both of them but I think Poppy is my favorite of the two
Hope they are both settling in well.

Re: New Additions
Kelza, congrats on adopting your two gorgeous hammies, Saga and Poppy. I love the pattern on both of them and love their names as well. BTW, I also love the name Darth Fluffy from your past hammy. What a cute spinoff from Darth Vader!!! I look forward to seeing more pics and getting to know your little sweeties, Saga and Poppy, even more!!! BTW, Eros sends a furry "high four" to your new hamsters!
