QuestionI know you specialize in Robrovski dwarf hamsters, but I was wondering if you could answer a kind of general dwarf hamster question. I bought what was called a Syrian Dwarf Hamster a few weeks ago. He was the smallest male, so I am guessing he is still a baby. When I am doing homework, I move his cage onto my bed so he can be near me and whenever I move his cage he gets all hyper and runs in his wheel and burrows in his shavings and runs all around his cage. He seems to be doing it in a playful way and never seems upset while playing around. I don't mine him being so active during the day, because hes crazy and hilarious to watch, but I am worried that it is harmful for him to be awake so much during the day. Is it bad for a hamster to spend so much time during the day being active? I don't want to wear him out and make him sick.
AnswerHi Marge,
i am sorry but there is no such thing as a 'Syrian Dwarf' hamster - he is either a Syrian or a Dwarf!
Maybe you could send me a picture so i can tell you what kind of hamster you have?
Please let me know and then i can help you more.
Kind Regards,
Tammy
