Hello!
This is the diary of our dwarf hamster Maia.
We believe she was born in October 2025, but it is unclear as she came from irresponsible breeding.
We picked her up and brought her home on 31 October. She is a spooky hamster!
She lives in a 100 x 52 cm Pawhut habitat, which has two different substrates and moss in addition to the base paper substrate. She has a 21 cm Bucatstate wheel.
Her staple diet is Rodipet hybrid dwarf hamster food. We only have one container left, and if the shop doesn't reopen, we'll switch to Bunny Expert. As well as their daily foraging for flowers and leaves!
In addition, she obviously gets fresh vegetables and protein on a daily basis. We restrict her fruit intake quite a bit to prevent diabetes, as she is predisposed to it.
She really likes interacting with us and from the third or fourth day she started climbing onto our hands and letting us stroke her a lot. Her favourite foods are sunflower seeds, walnuts, flax seeds... And she hates boiled chicken. But in general she likes practically everything we feed her, as well as running on the wheel.
Like all dwarf hamsters, she usually comes out several times during the day, which we love, being at home on a day off when we're not working and finding her there!
She is in the same room as our other Syrian hamster and they have a camera that helps us know when they are there and check that everything is okay at night with recordings.
Right now, her nails are a little long, so it will soon be time to visit the vet for a pedicure!

She's looking healthy and adorable
