Pet Forum / Mammals / Hamsters / July 2003

Had the 3 girls out running around in there balls last night and Pixie was
in the kitchen rolling around on the lynolium, then it got quiet for a few

So I had my boyfriend get the flash light to look beside ...

I do think I read some place that milk were good to hamster mommies...
I havent fed it to my hamster yet beacuse I am afraid she could get sick
or something.
Does anybody now if this is true?

    Thank you for the kind suggestions for feeding Ah-hei. He was
losing weight and not strong enough to eat seeds. Soft seemed to work and
he was very, very energetic for about 48hrs  - until we found him curled
under a ledge in his cage.... he has gone to Hamster Heaven.

I was trying to put a new wheel in her cage, so I put her in the "hamster
bucket" (20 inch deep container) sat that on the bed, and went to clean her
cage and put in the new wheel. When I came back, she was gone! I hollered for
Dean to come help look because I was terrified she was ...

I've noticed that in this heat (fan on hamsters' aquariums w/o draft and ice
packs in place), my 2 syrians are not drinking much water, nor eating as

until I stumbled across petwebsite.com and their article about hipspots.
I feel like such a rookie.

-people I have feelings too, I am a human being, and I want to know why
you all are standing aside and watching all this, is this because I am
not your child, what kind of moral and religious values allow you to
play indirect games when children of weak and powerless are given

Hi All :-)  As promised, a few photos from the recent celebrations at Rat
Ritz in honour of Mr. Hammy's second Birthday.  I would also like to take
the opportunity to send condolences to those who have suffered the recent
loss of a ham friend, it seems there are many who are leaving ...

will they get paper cuts? will the ink or copy toner harm them?

I was in the pet chat room on yahoo, to check it out, and there was a lady
in there said she had 2 hamsters, and one escaped right after it tried to
kill the other. I asked her what kind they were and they were white, brown
and fuzzy. I told her about seperating them and she said ...

Just to update everyone.
After deteriorating rapidly since we went to the vet with Pinky last
Wednesday, we took her back today and unfortunately we have had to have her

other pairs. I now have five cages with a solitary ...
