Hello. My name is Gwen. I'm a new member and live in Canada.

I've been reading threads here for several months because there is so much good information for a beginner hamster owner like me.

I have a black and white Syrian hamster named Anton. I've had him for one and a half weeks and so far things are going well.

Because I enjoy craft projects, I built an enclosure for Anton using a 4' by 4' dog pen, and covered the walls and roof with wire mesh. The enclosure is quite large. I can get inside.

I also made tunnels, a deep nesting box, 2 hides, a long bridge with a railing and other things for my pet's amusement.

I've learned a lot from this group and look forward to learning more.

Hi Gwen.

Welcome to the Forum.

May I ask what part of Canada are you from? I have family in Montreal

Anton is a lovely name for a hamster and I am intrigued with how you are able to get inside his enclosure. Looking forward to seeing photos of Anton

Enjoy your time here on Hamster Central.

Take care

Mweekie xx

Hi Gwen, welcome to HC, Anton is a lucky ham to have such a creative owner!

Hi Gwen, and welcome to the forum to you and Anton. Sounds like Anton has found a wonderful forever palace!

Hello and welcome to HC!

I'd love to see a photo of Anton and his habitat.

Gwen002 · 03-11-2021, 05:02 AM

Thanks for all of the warm welcomes. I'm not sure how to upload a photo here but I will try to figure it out.

@Mweekie
I live in northern British Columbia in a remote area so I had to travel to a nearby city to get a hamster.

Hi Gwen, welcome!! I'm from Canada too and also new to taking care of a little hamster. You seem really creative too build your own enclosure for Anton. Would love to see a pic of Anton and you're creations.

I tried to upload a photo but it would not work. I think the picture size is too large but I don't know how to edit it.
