Hi taylr1996
I've just noticed the cage you have for Dopey and please don't take offence but it is totally inappropriate for any hamster let alone a Syrian. I've reviewed it or commented on it before on the forum after buying one for one of our Robo's to live in. Safe to say we replaced it within a fortnight!!
There was hardly any room for Rolo out Robo to move about. He is a fair size Robo and was taking up a lot of room in that walk way to the house thingy at the top, i'd be confident in saying that your hamster will out grow this very quickly and more importantly the wheel that comes with it is awful, too small for syrians and there is no way to put a bigger size wheel in there. Quite frankly, they shouldn't be allowed to make them and Pets@Home shouldn't be selling them but hey ho!!
I think you should have a good look at some of the fantastic cages on the market as a replacement for him.
Again, hope you don't take offence, i'm only offering some advice after having first knowledge of this cage and i'm a bit of a stickler for hamsters or small animals in general having bigger than normal cages!!!
Dopey is gorgeous by the way!!
