Buttercup's Depressed

Jun 21, 2009 23:58

My 7-month old Buttercup (Syrian) seems to be depressed.

After doing some research I found out the cage she's currently in it doesn't have good floor space for a Syrian.

yeah it looks like there is not much space,maybe you can get her a bin .those are pretty good ,you can add a lot of toys in there for her.. plus they are not that expensive, about 10 bucks..

That was my second option. I'll definitely look into it. Thanks :)

Seriously, I am a sucker for fancy cages and I got a bin. It's the best bet I'm convinced. Also check Craigslist, people are always giving stuff away there - usually cages that are too small but in addition to the bin they work. Just clean them out VERY well to kill all germs. I also noticed that the wheel you have isn't ideal. Try to get one that is solid plastic so her little legs don't fall through and get hurt ( ... )

Transoniq makes the Wodent Wheel, and it's both reasonably priced and good for hamster feet.

I got a comfort wheel. It's basically everywhere but Petco, as far as I can tell. 8.5 inch for $8.
