Hi all,
So me and Hubby have been talking for a while about getting a chinese ham
but his job is a little uncertain so we had decided no! Anyway yesterday i saw an ad for a chinese and robo (separately but from same place) that are getting no attention atm, and need new homes. Me and hubby have discussed it, and were considering it, depending on how his job goes in the next few days (so don't go getting overly excited guys lol!)
I think i know what i need to know for chinese and robo's but to be honest, i've had neither before so i'm willing for anyone to tell me anything, and everyone PLEASE DO correct me if i'm wrong
Okay so - i've emailed asking what cages they are currently in... we'd be looking at a mini duna for each, as thats the space we have (well could make), but obviously if in the future they needed bigger, i'm sure we'd work it out some how.
I know chinese need special food requirements, with little-no sugar, so i was thinking of silvers mix long term, as i'd be so scared to get it wrong adapting my own, but can they still have dog biscuits the mineral chews and (i have the cupcake kbob ones atm) etc?
Are robo's okay on normal syrian burgess? i could break the pieces up if i needed to?
Megazorb or aubiose? I have both in my house at all times as my piggies use megazorb and pepper uses aubiose, so its not an issue or convenience issue either way, i just don't know which is best for little lungs, or for burrowing as pepper doesn't do much of the burrowing (or digging)
Wheels - am i right in 6" minimum ?
Toys? toilet roll tubes, wooden logs/bridges/tunnels, cork tunnels, things to crawl and climb in and over and under, light toys preferably in case they burrow under them?
Also would having, a syrian a chinese and a robo in a row, bother any of them?
erm, thats all i can think of that's different to syrians, but please, any info on either species would be appreciated.....
I'm still trying to not get ahead of myself or get tooooo excited
