McSpicy was rescued with 3 other hamsters not long ago. He is the healthier of the bunch and the spiciest of them all. McSpicy has visible frowns sometimes when he's upset and he nibs fingers. However, he may trust others a little more and it really differs for each individual. McSpicy may bite you but not your family member. Why? Well, just because he's spicieee (so cute).

McSpicy's beautiful fur coat is soft and smooth. When he's in a good mood he allows kisses and snuggles. But when he's upset (probably cause we woke him up) he will start pushing and toppling things around his cage (renovation perhaps?). It is suggested that McSpicy's bottle stand be very secure or he will topple it.

Despite having multiple hideouts, McSpicy likes to sleep in the open or burrowed deep below his bedding. McSpicy also has nesting habits and will get angry if you pull apart his 'bedroom'.

McSpicy was sneezing when he was first rescued, but he is all healthy now! However, because of that, it is recommended that he visits the vet every 6 months for a check-up to ensure that he does not relapse.

Requirements

  • Bin cage or tanks, McSpicy likes to climb and can result in unwanted injury.

  • Food: he's picky and will only eat BN (Syrian) Expert Mix

  • Bedding: deep deep bedding for this burrower!
