Re: Scottie
Some male dwarf hamsters including male Robos have a musty smell about them. So, i decided to spot clean Scottie's HH and got everything ready, bucket, bag of kaytee and removed all his movable furnishings.
Of course Scottie run straight into his tube to watch.
I turned the substrate over with one hand and sniffed. As expected, no damp patches because a Robo's pee seems to evaporate. No smelly substrate either so i left it all in.
Can't wipe the wheel today because then he would get annoyed. He was very tolerant of my hand in his home, sat there and watched, then gracefully accepted a couple of mealworms to say thank you. Quick sniffing inspection and he went back to bed.
I think i got his set up right. When i clean something he has the shelves and transparent tubes to go to so he's out of the way and somewhere enclosed but can still watch what i'm doing.
That's Scottie a little while ago
