Jiggy, my Russian dwarf (Winter White)

[Shakudo]

Hi everybody

A few updates on Jiggy, since I see some pics aren't working anymore, perhaps due to some of my Facebook cleaning albums and stuff, and I haven't posted in a while.

He is doing well, we've had a period of very hot weather and I left the hamsters mainly in peace as not to disturb them or stress them out. The weather has started cooling down and the ham's are more active now. At the moment I am using mini-hemp bedding, as I can get it locally, the care fresh is harder to come by. I must say the mini hemp works out great and I love the smell it has, it does a great job in keeping things clean. So I might stick to it, or use them both alternately.

Here are some pics

Jiggy really is a gorgeous little man Good to hear he's doing well.

I really like hemp too, I use it mixed with the Fitch we can get here, you might find that would work with the carefresh is you still want to use both.

I see that you have lots of stuff on top of Jiggy's cage. I'm sure he has ventilation, but could he have better ventilation without things on top of his cage?

Thank you for caring that's really nice.
But no worries I do my best to prevent problems, I picked out exactly what I wanted on the vent roster. I would rather have not as much on top of the cage but I have a cat who insists on sitting on top of everything he can so I must strategically place things there so he looses interest, it works and I made sure only small based items are placed there. On the pic you can see that the roster is large enough, I have had no problems with smell, lack of ventiatlion condensation or anything. I check regularly and keep a hawk eye on my little babies believe me.

Joey, what a fantastic home you've given the very beautiful Jiggy. It's very impressive and Jiggy's so at home and settled.

Such a cute little guy
Has he been using the sand bath? I wondered if it might be a little on the small side for him to roll in properly.
