My vet called me a couple of nights ago to tell me that a Russian hamster had been found in a cage down an alley with one eye hanging out and had been brought to her hospital. She didn't think she'd be able to save the eye but was going to operate anyway given she is young and has nothing else wrong with her. The hammie survived and is now ready for rehousing but who's going to want a one eyed 43g Russian hamster?

The reason my vet called me was to ask if I'd take her on and adopt her since I've cared for a number of sick Syrian hamsters over the years. Unfortunately I've never had a Russian hamster and therefore have no experience in caring for them. Are they much different to care for than a Syrian?

What do I need to know before I commit to taking on this responsibility?

Many thanks

Emma
