First time Hamster owner

[Hamstherapie]

Hi everyone! Writing from France here.
Two weeks ago, I adopted dwarf hamster (russian x cambell most likely). I got him from a nonprofit who places small animals in foster families and try and have them adopted. My hamster is called Grignotte (kinda means "Munchie" in french) and he's about 10 months old. He's very chill and okay with being handled which is really cool. Some friends built me the enclosure. And I made everything from cardboard inside. Happy to be here. See you guys !

Hello Grignotte is beautiful and his enclosure is amazing! Not only is it a great build but you have shown how excellent enrichment can be achieved with cardboard. That is very clever. We have a section on here for cardboard creations (I'll link it below) and it would be wonderful if you could do a piece on how you made some of the items. I particularly love the castle

Also please do add your photos to the "Show us your cage set ups" thread - also linked below

A new thread for 2023 to show cage set ups :) Some may have changed or be new but feel free to add your existing set up again. It's mainly so all current ones are viewable in the same place.
