Default Re: Introducing Mitzi - plus questions

Without a doubt. This hamster is a Mitzi.

That's a good Austrian name. I'm from neighbouring Bavaria.

She is absolutely gorgeous and everything sounds normal to me. I rarely see my Syrians drink during the day or when they get up in the evening.

I'd weigh her and give her plenty of good food. Like humans, hamsters have different body shapes.

As for a house. Ours have the Ferplast sin guinea pig house which costs around a tenner. It has a flat, removable roof so it acts as a platform and you can have a sneaky peek at the nest without disturbing it.

I have seen hamsters running on top of their wheels including one of ours. No idea why they do it but they'd probably ask the same thing watching a human on a treadmill.
