I've been away from the forum for a little while but I'm back today to introduce & get some tips for my newest addition.
This little cutie is Axia-Ashe:
I just adopted her today from an animal rescue located about an hour and a half away from my house. Basically i was on their website the other night and saw they had a little picture and info about this dwarf hamster who only had two legs - she was born like that apparently. Of course i went and adopted her.
She's missing the front and back legs on her left side, she moves around fine though.
This is her current cage setup:
The bedding is currently just torn up toilet paper - i'll probably order some fitch for her when i can. Is there anything i should change/make better?
Also her cage currently doesn't have a wheel in because I'm unsure whether it would be safe for her to use one? I can easily put one in for her but would like some thoughts/opinions on it. The dude at the rescue did say she'd probably be best with a flying saucer wheel (she had one there though he didnt ever see her use it), so would a flying saucer wheel be best?
Also she's quite tiny so would it be a good idea to maybe offer her some porridge/babyfood etc incase she has issues eating due to her missing legs?
Im back - with a new addition
