Today I went into the pets at home, and the adoption centre...and there was this fluffy..(bad tempered
) but beautiful 'russian dwarf'
I haven't thought of a name for him (or her..) yet, and s/he is just settling in now,
S/He was returned because him and his cage mate fought =/ all that means is that s/he's more dominant, not that s/he's a bad hamster.
He's really fluffy though, I mean..my other hamsters have fluffy paws (being 'russian dwarves' also, but his are like...really fluffy...am scared that he may have long nails too...and he bit the assistant in the shop....I don't think this is a bad sign..I'd have bitten her too if I'd been cooped up in a cage with just a house and water bottle, and food.
Anyway...any advice anybody could give me for pre-owned hamsters...(who are probably pretty distrustful) would be handy
I love him already though..
(also, his eyes seem fairly closed...don't know whether it was the woodshavings in his cage getting in them or something..do some hamsters have like...squinty eyes? or is it probably a bad sign?)
