I’m getting a Syrian soon. I found an ethical breeder and we discussed contactless adoption (end of June). He is going to be living in half of a detolf as I have a dwarf already living in the other side. Considering the depth of the detolf, I have 2 options with wheel size and I was wondering what would be the best option.
1st option: Put a 12 inch wheel in and leave off a lid ( this means I can’t put in that much bedding though which is something I wanted to do)
2nd option: Use an 11 inch wheel in and use a lid (although from the pictures the hammy is quite large and don’t know if he would fit on the 11 inch (he’s easily 175g and never owning a Syrian before i don’t know if that is a healthy weight)
Thanks for reading and I hope that I can find an answer to it.
