Arkid and Darkspark
Hello again, readers,
Today we wanted to quickly introduce two hybrid dwarf hamsters (Winter White/ Campbell Russian hybrid) - Arkid and Darkspark.
They were being given away as an unwanted cohabiting pair. We decided to intervene as it is possible for duos to fight. If dwarf hamsters begin fighting, it is often necessary to separate them.
When we collected them, they started fighting within the time it took to get from their previous owner's front door to inside of our car. Thankfully, we came prepared; we packed an additional pet carrier and separated them instantly.
Once we arrived home, Arkid appeared to have come off the worst. He had numerous bite wounds to his back end - none needed medical attention. Darkspark was thankfully entirely healthy. The pair were unsocialized, so we had to work on their confidence.
Currently, as things stand, both hamsters have mellowed considerably. They will both bite when grabbed, so they get picked up via a toy (i.e tube, house) and then they will gently walk onto our hands. Arkid is definitely the feisty one out of the pair.
None the less, they've settled in well into our household!
