Taming? nah. Wheelington has decided to be a confident and outgoing hamster, walking into any palm she sees. If you’re looking for a hamster that LOVES to come out to spend time with you, and also take naps on her wheel in the middle of the day, LOOK NO FURTHER as Wheelington is the perfect🏻 hamster for you!! Please note that although she loves to spend time with you, do not wake her up just to play with her but instead wait until she wakes up and is in the mood to interact, which is really obvious as she will keep bopping around the side of the cage

In case it isn’t obvious enough from her name, Wheelington’s favourite spot in her cage is her wheel!!  She spends more than half her waking (and sleeping) hours on the wheel, doing everything like eating, sleeping, hamdreaming, and unfortunately sometimes even peeing on her wheel 

Of course, wheelington also runs ALOT on her wheel, which probably gives her pretty high metabolism. Thus she’s weighing at a light weight of around 30g despite continuously munching on fatty nuts and treats🥜

Although she’s really light for a dwarf, do not mistake her weight for her looks as when she arrived, she looks a lil preggie 🤰...Turns out after 4 weeks, she just has a food baby and big hips (yes #bodygoals) Therefore, pls give Wheelington a chance even if you’re looking for a round hammy, light hams can be chonky too!

Requirements:

Diet: Fatpouches mix or Rodipet dwarf + mazuri lab block

Wheel: minimum 21cm but no wooden wheel as she pees on her wheel

Hideouts: at least 2-3 ceramic hideouts
