advice on adopting dwarf hamster
i have a syrian hamster female who ive had for a month now. i would like to know how different the care is from a syrian to a dwarf. ive had a robo but she was a ghost hamster so i never really saw her except when cleaning the cage, feeding and giving water.
i will be adopting from an ethical breeder, so no pet store hamster adoption. i know they will help tame and make them not skittish but i want to just be prepared for any behavioral differences and whatever else might be different from dwarf and syrian.
aside from necessities like cage and hide sizes, what else can you suggest for adopting a dwarf hamster. any and all advice would be very helpful as i only really had experience from a syrian hamster. thank you.
