I just saw this post. Good that he/she is in the house. Hope you can talk to your parents about your hamsters basic needs. You must really care about your hamster or you wouldn't be posting on the forum.

I really do care about animals in general I used to have a dog called Ruddy but someone gave it poison and it died... I want my hamster to have a good life and I know it might be hard for him/her atm cause of the heat. And ofc I'm thinking of buying a bigger cage for him/her

About the fan, just don't point the fan directly at your hamster.

Maybe other members could give you ideas on ideas to keep your hamster cool. Erin Animals has a good video on this

Keeping your hamster cool

I was just reading through this thread & noticed that Cypher left this link for you

I'm glad your hammy is in your house.

That sounds very confusing for people who are new to Russians CB, all hybrids have both WW & Campbells genes so are neither WW hybrid or Campbells hybrid, although some genes may be more apparent they all have a mix of both so far less confusing & more accurate to just say Russian hybrid.

Hello Pantelis, glad to hear you're moving in soon, it will be good for you and your hammie to have your own space.
So sad to hear about your dog, that must have been terrible for you.
I hope the move goes well.

Thank you Ruth Edwards!

I tweeted Erin from Erin's Animals a few months ago & she replied back & said, what forum are you on? As if she was surprised. She said, "yeah but it's one way or the other". She is very clear on her videos that she had a past winter white hamster, (Amylase) or her current Russian hamster, (Potasium)

I personally have 2 winter white hybrids & one Russian. I don't see how that's confusion? They may have mixed genes but they sway either, Winter white or Russian. I know this is true.

Pantelis, how is your hamster doing today? Hope all is well & your parents are on board with keeping your hamster in your house?

Cypher & Pantelis, I apologize if I'm not exactly comely across in a loving manner. Have stuff in my life that I'm angry about. Hope u forgive me

Thanks pantelis, I'm glad I was able to help you, along with other members. Glad your doing well with the ice packs & changing him/her water bottle often. Really hope your hamster comes through the rest of the summer okay. I don't know if you have summer & winter in Greece?
