Talking My new girl--Kiwi

Hi there! I bought another Syrian hamster yesterday and her name is Kiwi. She is a 2-month-old young lady, who was bullied to hiss in the pet store by another young lady.
So I told the pet store staff that there were two hamsters fighting and one of them was crying. The staff simply replied: oh, they are just playing...
I got so furious that I want to take the bullied one home asap!
In the end, I got two big plastic containers and Kiwi home and she was so happy that she kept running around in the container and let me stroke her while eating. She was happily eating the broccoli I gave her, the food she has never ever tasted before in the pet store.
I am so glad that she is with me now. And with the experience of taking care of Myachick and Dumpling, I hope she will stay happy and healthy all the time

Oh she is lovely. I love sables. Kashi (my chocolate smooth coated syrian girl) was bullied in the pet shop and kept squeaking at the other hamster. Same response, 'just playing'. Clearly not very enjoyable play.

She also had so little bedding that it didnt even cover her and they said that she just stashed all her food so they stopped feeding her every day. She has NOTHING in the cage at all. No wheel, no tunnel. Nothing. Clean with fresh water but ... food was her only entertainment. When I first got her home she made the most gigantic nest ever! She still makes massive stashes.

Hope your lovely girl settles in well.

Thank you all! And I feel so released by seeing some of us are rescuing those poor little creatures from pet store. I somehow want to find the resources to file complaints against those pet stores. Any advice helps!
