Pet Forum / Mammals / Hamsters / August 2003

I know cats, dogs and horses can aggrivate asthma but do hamsters have the
same effect?
Just acquired one and perhaps should have asked this question first.  Any
help much appreciated.

Bringing the total of dwarf hams up to 14, may I introduce Angel and a tiny
silver gray sweetie who needs a name.  (Suggestions please!!!)
Both rescued from a tank where they were being beaten up on by the bigger
dwarfs.

Theses are just pictures of Miki for now. I will put pictures of the baby and
Joe up later today.

It all seemed so simple, in retrospect: European fashion designers, wanting
to work with something a little different, a short-napped, fur, perhaps,
were casting about for a fur to use in their fall 2001 designs.  The eyes of

It's a blazing hot day here in Scotland for a change. I was worried about my
hamster overheating as he sleeps in the plastic 'outpost' in his Habitrail
Space Station cage - and it was getting all steamed up. He was waking up
all hot and sweaty.

This morning I woke up to my favorite not moving. He was the sweetest hamster I
have ever come across. He fathered 7 beautiful babies. Him and Miki were my
first hamsters and it was hard for me to say goodbye. What's worse is that my 6
year old daughter loved him the most out of all ...

As most of you know we replaced Fat Boy with an albino dwarf. We put him in the
cage with 2 others and now, 5 days later, his tail is bleeding. What's wrong
and can it be fixed?????

Well, I've made the decision on what to call her. Her name is
cinnimon. Don't ask where I got the name, I just like it and nothing
else sounds good like cocoa, borwnie... anything that goes with her
color.

Does it matter if I wash my hands with soad that (of course) has a
scent to it. Will they not recognise my smell if I wash my hands
first, cause today I have been doing that beofre I goto my hamster

I have a question pertaining to my kids hamster. The hamster has a huge

about this?

Anyone heard of 8 in 1 Berry Harvest? I'm not sure if it would be okay
for my dwarf hammies. My vet said it might be in my best interest to
change their food..
