hey guys so in today's video I would like you all to meet little baby Aspen
so Aspen is a female Russian campbell's dwarf and I'm assuming she is about
eight weeks old and now I have had her for a couple of weeks before introducing
her to you guys so now I'm gonna tell you guys a little bit about her so as
you may know I was looking for another dwarf hamster after tater-tots passing
and I only adopt my hamsters so I was looking on Kijiji and I wasn't finding
too many dwarf hamsters available so I kind of was just waiting I even put out
an actual ad looking for a dwarf hamster and somebody contacted me and they said
hey if you're still interested we have a hamster that we want to rehome we got
her and we have a tight housing pinch and they only had her in a temporary
setup and they didn't think it was fair to forever keep her in this temporary
setup and that's why they wanted to rehome her so I of course said yes that
I would take her they did mention that she was five or six weeks old I think
but she did look a little bit older than that when I got to their house they had
her in I think a temporary 10-gallon but once again it was a temporary cage
because I'm not sure really why they got her they didn't finish their story I
think they may have gotten her because they seen a little boy that wanted a
hamster and he didn't know anything about hamsters so they actually bought
her so he couldn't buy her I think that's what the story is I don't know
they didn't actually end up finishing their story but I ended up taking her
home. Aspen is a very friendly little hamster as you can
see she's already fine with being held she hasn't bitten me or anything like
that the first week that she was home she did have some soft poop which is
pretty normal because obviously they didn't give me any of her old food so
when she's adjusting to her new seed mix it can obviously give them a bit of an
upset stomach since she's not used to it but since been her poop has gotten
better I haven't given her any really treats or vegetables yet - just because
her stomach wasn't feeling the greatest but she's doing really really well as
well as her sleep schedule is a little bit messed up as you can see she's awake
right now some days she's awake till 10:00 a.m. and then sometimes she'll
wake up at 7 p.m. so she's a little bit mixed up but eventually I'm sure she'll
get a better sleep schedule as well also when I was setting up her hamster cage I
didn't intend to make it similar to tater tots I actually had started off
with switching how the cage looked and then I realized that I actually wasn't
able to do what I wanted to do because of where the platform is and the sand
bath was gonna be under it and then she wouldn't be able to actually
go up on to that level safely without having to like jump I didn't want her to
fall so I did have to switch it back and it kind of looks like tater-tots cage
I still do enjoy it I really like my natural themed cages they are my
favorite I think hamsters do best in them she really really loves it she also
right away when I put her into the cage knew how to drink from the water dish
just fine she didn't try fall into it she didn't like drown so she is really
good and just adjusting to her home and she likes to come out as well so that is
it for little Aspen I hope you guys have enjoyed this video
and hopefully you guys will get to see Aspen more in the future and because she
is a really awesome and an adorable hamster so thank you so much for
watching bye
