Default Re: Potentially picking up a little boy Syrian tomorrow

Hello and Happy New Year to everyone on HC.

Well this weekend is going to be interesting as I have just treated Casper to a Bucatstate Tank and quite a few new toys etc.

Casper's current tank broke last week, so I have temporarily set him up in a 45x45x60 tank until his Bucatstate home is set up and running for him. I know it's not ideal, but I wasn't expecting his larger tank to suddenly crack when I opened the door - so it was kind of a very quick, emergency transfer over to the smaller tank.

Casper himself, is still quite shy and is inclined to bolt back into his little den and wait until the lights are off - but he still comes up for his nightly treat and veggie.

I'm hoping that the new cage/tank will help Casper to become a little more adventurous and looking at lots of new toys and other enrichment for him as well.

The Bucatstate cage/tank (not quite sure what to really class it as lol) was a lot cheaper than the other one that I was planning on getting - with the Bucastate one being £157 and the other tank being over £300!

I've read a lot of great information about the Bucatstate cage/tank - but also wanted to know how to set it up into a great home for Casper as he is turning into a sweet little guy and I really want the best for him - not that I didn't before for him or any of my previous hamsters.

Anyway - I will update again once I've a) remembered how to update photos and b) have set up his new home later this week.

Mweekie xx
