It was lovely to see a Chinesey as Pet of The Day, particularly one as handsome as Zeki.

Weigh in day today.
Zeki should have stopped growing by now, 10 months old already & his weight seems to have settled at 50g.
He is a big boy! Still has that long sleek typically Chinesey look about him though, except when his pouches are stuffed to the limit that is

Wow, that's impressive.

I can't believe Zeki's 10 months already! I so love it when they stuff their cheeks, always melts my heart.
What's the biggest weight for a Chinese ham?

I can't believe he's 10 months either, where did the time go?!

Averages for Chinese hams seems to vary depending on where you look but I think anywhere between 40-55 grams can be a healthy weight depending on the individual, males do tend to be heavier with females rarely getting above about 45g.

Sounds as though has grown up to be a gorgeous boy as well as an impressive weight!

cypher · 10-11-2016, 11:45 AM

I certainly think so, I'm well & truly besotted with my grown up little man (doesn't he know it lol!) & he'll always be my little man no matter how big he gets!

I decided to take a bit of a gamble on the Rodipet shelf for their 25cm wood/cork wheels being the right size for the silent runner & it's worked a treat!
I did put some dowels on to stop the wheel sliding at all but it probably wasn't necessary so he now has a nice shelf & a bit of extra burrowing space underneath which I'm sure he'll enjoy, he hasn't seen it yet as I only just put it in… I really shouldn't be giving him any more places to hide away lol! but if it makes him happy

It should be more practical & easy to keep clean too I hope.

One down, one or two to go! I was going to do the same for Tinwë but now have plans for Zen & I only bought two so I might be forced to go shopping again

What kind of litter do you use on the cage showed on the photo? It is some kind of mix?

And I saw a greenie or something like that. How many time do you left it on the cage? On this video I can see one too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-JeJQsQJlQ Do you always have one on the cage?

Zeki is so cute. He is a really a jaunty sweetie thing. My hearts melts every time I see him running around on the youtube videos, and your photos are incredible, his fur looks so shinny and soft that I want to cuddle the computer screen hahaha.

I use a mix of Fitch & Hugro hemp for my substrate Hamsterita.

Mine have both Greenies & Whimzees/Antos dog chews, I'd rather they just have Whimzees tbh but Zeki isn't remotely interested in those! I do leave them in the cage all the time, I don't think they'd forgive me if I took them out again lol! but one lasts them weeks, not sure how long exactly but quite a long time.
Zen can get through a Greenie quite fast so she mostly gets the Whimzees, a lot depends on the individual ham really.
