new hammys nerves getting the better of me

[darthturkey]

ok so after some research and abit of saving up

( yes i spend most of my money on achol ..what? dont look at me like that im 18 =) )
anyhow

got some chinnese hammys will post pics when i can!

just getting nervous about them escaping because i have a cage with like bars

im thinking about getting some cardboard and sticky tape and tapeing cardboard to the cage while they are young so they cant escape

would that be ok to do ?:confused:

think the lady in the shop told me to do sommin like that i was kinda excited about it so i dint fully listen :p

plus i gave them some ginny pig drops cuz i thought they were for hamsters to chill em out as we drove home i figured they would be getting freaked by the loud car

kinda worryed about that :p

anyhow guys

if ya could just help silence my worryies would be great

there jusst chillin in there cage i put a blanket over it to help them relax

any tips advice for chinnese hamsters would be lovely too

THANK YOU :cool:

DONT use sticky tape... they can chew it... would you eat glue coated plastic? try weavingh cardboard in the cage bars (it will get chewed) buit look at getting a bin cage... soon. you can make them for about a tenner.

i dont even know what ginny pig drops are but dont ever give an animal anything that isnt designed for it... btw... guinea pigs are about 10 times bigger than dwarves... what dosage did you give? call a vet and give them plenty of water.

Covering cages will get things chewed.

dont feed them any shop bought treats... they usually have too much suger... other than that... i keep syrians so not sure

post piccies x

[darthturkey]

meh i think its ok tbh they seem totally happy lol

the shop person saw me buy them

i doupt its much of a problem just wont feed them them again lol


=P think im going to take them out of the box out i got them in


:)

but unsure...maybe i should just wait till tommow ...but its really annoying ..i want them to get settled into the actual cage and not a box

[darthturkey]

ok thanks for the help =) ..decided to not take them out of the cage just opened the box moreto enocourge them to get out of it lol

[ratbrat21]

you should take them out of the box or they might chew out. and you could lose them.

[darthturkey]

yeah i took them out the box ...

u think it would be ok to try and handle them yet? i mean they were really tame in the shop they dont seem that scared of me

i mean literally just put my hand out and see ifi can get them to climb on to it ?

il go put cardboard round the sides now
lol
:)

[ratbrat21]

well you can see if they will come to you. But being new its best not to mess with them to much for the first 24 hours. Just let them get use to their new home. But you can see if they will come to you. But i wouldnt do it to much :)

they seem happy...dont really come up ..guess there just checkig it all out


going to put cardboard around the sides i dont think there strong anuff to get to the top quite yet so i dont need to worry bout that yet i dont think ...

thinking bout in abit just putting my hand in there too see if i can get them to climb on my hand..they were really tame in the shop i was handleing them carefree for a couple of mintutes

[ratbrat21]

yeah they might be a little scared. Its a new place. New noises and smells so they have to check it all out :)

[darthturkey]
