Billy (Adopted)

Species: Dwarf

Estimated age: 5 months

Gender: Male

Likes: Vegetables, Flax seeds, FP premium mix, burrowing, bathing sand

Dislikes: Not comfortable with being picked up

Billy is a super docile hamster, never bites but doesn’t like being overwhelmed with someone touching him, in short, he needs his space and wants to feel comfortable by you only interacting with him from a distance, he will feed from your hand, will let you pet him while he eats, will nip your finger to satisfy his curiosity. He has the potential to be one of those super trusting and friendly hammies if you give him unconditional love, his space, be patient and make your home a safe haven for him

He will use his wheel when its dark at night, and usually pees and poops on his wheel so it needs to be cleaned daily

He likes to burrow, so he would really enjoy having a deep bedding. He sleeps most of the day and comes out to drink water 2-3 times during the day and munches on flax seed sprays, he also stuffs food in his pouch and takes it in his burrow and eats there. He loves to munch on all new snacks and treats that Fat pouches has to offer (spoilt brat, I know)

Requirements

Wheel: he is using a bigger wheel – i.e ~30cm CARNO

Bedding: Oxbow or Fatpouches tea bag bedding

Food: FP premium mix, small quantity of vegetables, mazuri block, Flax seeds spray
