Pet Forum / Mammals / Hamsters / August 2003

Doofus (female winter white I wrote about a while ago) is still biting

Cinnimons fur seems to be thinner and sometimes looks wet. Is this
normal during a pregnancy becuse thats when it started. Maybe I just
never noticed but sometimes I can see through the fur and onto her
skin. Maybe a lack of vitamins? Or to much vegetables?    -Dave

Ok, you know my cinnimon just had like 8-10 babies... I just want to
know know that they are 6 days old if I can move the cage to somewhere
with light so that I can get some pictures of them. Would it be safer
to wait until there eyes are open???         - Dave

I was wondering if Maxine was found yet.  I've
been hoping she's safe and sound!

male (the daddy hamster) and a different female and breed them. They
have 6 babies. Will my other baby hamsters recognize them as relatives,

Just a head's up.
I received word from Hagen that there is going to be a new product on the
market.  It's called the Habitrail Mini and I've seen pictures of the new
concept in a newsletter that I receive as a Fun Club member.

something new and fun this time.I wanted to hear everyone's experience
and what they found was the best and the most affordable.Heres what I
have already have.

Our hammy, Sarsi 1.5 yrs old has bald spots....any one have info for the
