Hey guys, just got a Syrian hamster yesterday. Now he's currently living in 2 cardboxes combined together. For me, I think it's okok for him but not the recommended size, havent found a box bigger yet. Anyways... I know we're supposed to leave them alone for these few days, but today (2nd day) when i went to check on him, I saw one corner of the box scratched out. Is this okay? D:

Or should I stop using cardboard boxes as a cage? If yes, then where can I get a plastic bin big enough for a syrian hamster? IKEA?

Hahah sry, first time getting a hamster. Somemore it's a syrian hamster, so normal hamster cages wouldn't be suitable for it. You got any pics you could share? :3

Hey guys, my syrian hamster keeps sneezing for almost a week now. ._. What should I do? I've fed him milk+honey mixture that some people recommended. Not much of an improvement if I should say so.

I would say not too serious yet. He's less active than he usually is and yea he's kinda lazy to walk around. Jz come out to eat drink maybe walk on the wheel for a bit then he goes bck to his home. Dont see much improvement after cleaning his place
