Its only about 26cm high, which I didn't really plan too well as I have a senior wodent wheel ready for him but it won't fit

But my only other cage was an imac fantasy, which is also too short!
I'm going to put in the wodent wheel with the bar part removed whilst I'm in the room and supervising (or macgyver some sort of higher mesh lid, until i can upgrade him to a bigger cage

Hes a pretty small boy at the moment though so hes not complaining x

Hmm tricky! Could you just cut two bars out so the wheel sticks out through the top? Although I wouldn't fancy cutting bars lol. If he's small he'll probably be ok with the 20cm wodent wheel or Karlie wheel for now anyway. Or you could get that amazing 11" metal flying saucer that Virtual Keith has! But it's a bit expensive.

Wow that flying saucer is impressive

I'll see how he gets on, hes still nervous so i won't go making too many changes just yet

Aw - new little baby! Charlie, our Syrian was a bundle of nerves for a while.

Hi Mel and welcome back! Your little fluff is very cute! He has a lovely coat. That's very interesting Winnie! Myrcella is beautiful!

Thankyou

His coat is growing fast, which I'm really pleased about, I love a good fluffy hamster bum (in the least weird way possible

)

Wanna Hamster · 10-04-2015, 05:03 PM

LOL! I also cannot resist a fluff with a cute bum!

This may seem a funny question with Tim's coat growing BUT that orange patch is so so like a dove Tort. Let me share two Dove Tort Band pics with you.
This is Darrah a SH Dove Tort at about 6 months old so in her adult coat so quite a bit darker then your Tim.

And here is a Satin LH Dove Tort Banded pup of around 3 months of age in this photo who was from Hillcrest Hamsters. The satin makes her coat darker then a Non Satin coat would be at this age.
Darielle-a.JPG Danielle Had a very long coat for being a female.

I also currently have 3 LH Chocolate females and one had such a male looking coat she spent a week in with the boys and is currently on baby watch as I noted he was a she when she was tail sailing in the 5 week old males bin. She has a fuller coat then one of the LH Males.

Can you spot her at 4 weeks old in this what I thought to be all LH Boys?

I would take a good look and see if that is a Female and if it is one parent was a ghost Yellow, or Ghost Honey, and both had to carry for Black and Cinnamon, if Tim is a Dove.
