Bigfoot

Just moved back home from Uni and met my little brother’s new Syrian Bigfoot! Poor little guy has been living in a mini Duna fun with 2 toys and no wheel

I’ve finally managed to convince my parents he needs an upgrade and they’re planning to buy either the Alaska or Barney cage for him in a few weeks but until then I’ve given his cage a little makeover.

I converted it back to a regular mini duna (he was a tunnel sleeper and bar chewer) and borrowed some stuff from my hammies to give him a naturl set up. He seems much happier already! Unfortunately there’s no room for a wheel but I’m making sure he gets lots of exercise outside his cage for now.

Update! My parents are no longer wanting to upgrade Bigfoot’s cage “if his cage is too small, they wouldnt sell it” so I’m moving him into a bin cage for a few weeks until I can afford a larger cage for him. Unfortunately I dont have any bins bigger than 65x50 cm but at least he’ll have burrowing space!

He’s been taming well and is already a lot calmer and more confident than he was when I first met him but it’s been a struggle getting my brother to actually give Bigfoot the attention he needs so at this point I’ve pretty much adopted him as my own hammie haha

Poor thing! Glad he’s in your hands now. Good that he’s taking up nicely too.

Congrats on Bigfoot! I’m so glad you got him from that situation! Glad to hear he is getting more confident!
