Default Meet Heaven, my new Syrian

I was going to wait to get a Syrian but today I called Pet-Co and asked if they had any SPCA hamsters and they said they had one and that she was very friendly and likes cuddles. This is the 2nd hammie I adopted from the SPCA.

Time is short so I now have another cuddly hamster. Sylvester is snuggly and Heaven is cuddly I haven't had a Syrian in awhile now. She's in in a big cage, no comparison to the tiny cage that she is used to. The cage she came with had moths so I threw it in the dumpster. I put a 9in Silent Runner in her cage and she seems to love that wheel already, she has moved is away from the side of the cage so its kind of angled in the bin. I'll give her 2-3 days to settle in although I know she may not need the time, but just in case.

I cuddled with her already tonight. When I put my hand in her old cage to put her to her new bin cage, she climbed into my hand and I picked her right up and I can't wait to get to know her. I'm so blessed to have Heaven, her cuddly nature will be perfect. She is my 7th hamster. As some of you know that I got sick and don't know how much time I have left so each day counts. My other 6 hamsters are all dwarves.

What a lovely little hamster. How cute that she climbed onto your hand when you put it into her cage.

Very good idea getting her now. I am really happy for you.

I forgot that I adopted Angel too, but she was from Small Pets Big Hearts rescue agency.

Appreciate everybody very much

Me too FF, this is the right hamster for me at the right time. I believe

Heaven has made a nest behind her partially buried Silent Runner, she can't move it that way. She also put a rather large chew toy under the water bottle.

Welcome to the land of Syrians you'll probably say I put a better water bottle & moved her wheel so that disturbed her nest. I also moved her toy, especially with the better water bottle.

I won't move her stuff around for the next few days. She still came out for cuddles I'm spite of all this.

Any body have an idea to make her a wheel that she can move? Maybe make a shelf, if it won't make the wheel higher than the lid. I'm not home now just rambling on

I can't get a barred cage cause she is a bar climber. Her cage that I threw out was a very small cage with high barred sides & top

Thanks all

A shelf might be your best option,but make sure the shelf has some sort of edge to it otherwise it won't do as well to hold the wheel in and keep substrate out.

If you eventually want a cage upgrade,maybe figure out a setup that combines various bins and attaches them manually but in a way where you can have some bins on top of at least part of the cage.You could even put this setup on top of various tables and put other bins under the tables as well for even more of a space efficient setup.You can get a wood burning tool at Walmart which isn't that expensive(about 13 dollars)and if it's an investment you'd use for more than just one or two new cages it's definitely worth it over trying to pay someone to do it as that would cost a lot more over long term.

I feel so inept as that seems overwhelming lol
I like your shelf idea with an edge to it that will be my next project
