Handling a Hammy
Hiya, so I've got a new baby yesterday. She's albino Syrian and so friendly. I've had hamsters before so I know how to handle them but I just want to know whether you handle an albino differently to an 'ordinary' Syrian? Or do you treat them exactly the same?

Re: Handling a Hammy
You handle them exactly the same. Why would they be any different?

Re: Handling a Hammy
Well, considering their eyes, I didn't know if you had to take further precaution as they have worser sight than 'normal' hamsters.

Re: Handling a Hammy
Well, they may be a little more jumpy than others but eyesight isn't the main sense the hamsters use Just be slightly slower than normal when moving towards her and she'll be fine

Re: Handling a Hammy
She doesn't seem too jumpy to be fair to her, she's very friendly and confident but I was just worried that I'd stress her if she couldn't see me but I know eyesight isn't the only scense they use because it's preety weak too but she'll use her other senses to get to know me like smell.
