First off, Hello all! I am brand new to this forum. Call me Ky! I have two questions. I adopted a chinese hamster from a woman yesterday, and I noticed that his testicals look MASSIVE. I know male rodents usually are huge, but I’m not sure if Dobby’s are too big. Secondly, is his wheel too small? I’ll upload a video to YT & link it here showing his wheel once I have better connection.

Hello, I am new to this forum, and your post is the first I have gotten a chance to read so far. I have found that it is important for hamsters to have larger wheels than you might think they need because it is important that they are not hitting their backs or anything on the wheel as they run depending on the type of wheel you have. I have always provided my hamsters with wheels that are smooth, not the wire wheels. The wheels I have used are stand up wheels that have almost like a button that sticks out a little in the middle of the wheel, which is the connector to the stand basically, and you can tell if the hamster touches it in anyway as he/she runs that the wheel is too small. So far I've had 2 Syrians and 2 Blackberry Dwarf Hamsters in my lifetime, and the 1 Dwarf Hamster was a little bit bigger than the other one, so the smaller one had what is typically considered to be a 5inch wheel, the bigger Dwarf Hamster I had was using what is typically classified as a 7inch wheel, and both Syrians I have had were using at least 7inch wheels. My little Lincoln is on my youtube.com channel titled RodentRascalsAdventures and you can see his cage on one of his videos, which might give you an idea for what type of wheel you might be looking for. I wish you luck!
