Finally have a Chinese!!

[ashari]

Thanks everybody for your lovely comments

shes still very nervous of my presence so i have to be extremely quiet when i go near her cage to get a quick glimpse of her.i put Ida's old rolly wheel in the cage last night and i heard her on it straight away which i was really surprised at!so i put her cage on the floor near my bed and just watched her for ages on the wheel as it was the first time i actually saw her properly lol!i also saw her at 6am this morning and she looked quite confident running all over her duna,going full speed on her wheel and standing on top of the tubes trying to peak out the duna.

Btw I'll try and get pictures of the little girly later tonight

Chinese are always quite shy. I would say shy rather than timid. Although our Dommy Bob is very tame when he is in his cage you really don't see a lot of him. He likes to keep under the cover of dark.
They love to run and pee on wheels! We hear him all night long trundling away. He has a silent spinner. He goes very fast on it too!
Looking forward to the pics.

Aw, that`s wonderful news ashari! I just seen your post and nearly missed it as it was`nt posted in the `Chinese Hamsters` section!

Just give her time and she will soon be running up the inside of your sleeve! Prinny loves to run over and take little bits of millet from my hand. Sometimes it`s best to let them come to you to begin with. Little and often. Chinese are quite different from dwarf hamsters because they are more mouse-like in character, which shines through once they gain confidence. You will obviously recognise this having kept mice yourself!

So pleased you got her from the adoption centre aswell. Welcome to the chinese hamster club!

A few promised pics of little Eve

Jayden-thank god for the tail!lol. If i hadn't seen that i would never of clicked on there was a Chinese right there in front of me!btw i looove dom spots there beautiful

Souffle-she loves her wheel and yep she loves to pee in it too.as soon as i put the wheel in she really came out her shell,was lovely to see.also the great thing is because shes so light on her feet the rolly is quiet for a change unlike when ida used to run on it lol.

Racingham-thank you shes lovely and definitely reminds me of a little mouse which is so nice.shes settling in really well and is out and about exploring her cage with no problems.i’ll probably try her in the zoozone 1 in a few weeks because she seems quite confident cage wise.
