Hello,
I recently purchased another addition to our hammy family named Pip (Squeak). I think this name is very fitting for him because he is the smallest hamster I have ever seen. He was labeled as a Winter White but I am sure he is a hybrid because I got him from the PetSmart that I work at. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if I should watch out for any special issues with him being so small. To give you some insight he is about the size of a robo, maybe slightly longer. I love him to pieces already, he is so funny he acts like he has no fear at all. He climbs right in my hand, will run up my shirt and perch on my shoulder, he is just so cute! But, like I said I am a little worried that he may have health issues because of his size even though right now he is totally fine. I will have to try to get a pic of him to post so you can see just how tiny he is.
On a side note, I wish we had breeders near so I would have a choice but I am really very happy with Petsmart, at least the one I work at. We are very good to the animals there, otherwise I would not buy one let alone a total of 10 from there:D I just thought I would let people know that there are some pet stores that do really care about the animals that they care for, and shame on the ones that don't!
