I agree to that. Lawrence, the cages are too small.

What you can do, go to a petshop/fishshop that sells guppy tanks. Get the second largest or largest tank. Buy in bulk and you'll usually get discount.

In these tanks you can continue to keep them without worrying about space. Furnish with toys, toilet card rolls etc. I'm afraid those cages can't hold them for long. That cage is too small for even dwarf hamsters.

Hi, long time never come to the hamster thread.

That chinchilla sand bath looks more like dust bath. Judge for yourself and see if it's grainy or powdery. If it's very fine powder, then it's dust bath. If it's grainy then it's sand bath.

Winter White hams can be solitary. Once they start fighting it's best to separate them. If changing their scent doesnt work then there isn't much that can be done. Vanilla extract, or that scent pet bath powder by Kool Bunny may be worth a try.

I went to Pet Safari and was quite shocked and upset. There are a bunch of ww and campbell hybrids there. Winter white look-a-likes but with ruby red eyes. Some look sapphire pudding and sapphire but with ruby red eyes. The body and head looks to much like wws. Hybrids have officially entered the market.
