Hamster Central - View Single Post - My russian dwarves will not use their wheel

Amazing Miss Alice · 02-03-2012, 02:19 AM

Having taken a while to get started I actually can't stop them now!! (Not that I want to stop them...) When I got them they were a tad overweight - which I put down to the fact that their cage in the store was probably a bit on the teency side for a litter of 6 or more dwarfs, with only one little wheel, which they weren't using anyway.

Now, with the combination of a better diet and scatter feeding, plus all of this exercise, my girlies are looking very trim and healthy indeed! I bought a notebook yesterday to record their weekly weight.

I just wanted to say again thank you for the advice. Hannah and Sophie are very grateful!
