Well... I'm not positive yet, but I'm pretty sure that none of Lilyfer's babies
have made it.  I didn't see any in her nest when I went to give her a treat
earlier.
I'm not surprised.. what with how she was reacting to the babies, or more like

Hi there oldtimers...
Just wanted you to know that Jane The Hamster passed away some time last
night in her sleep. I don't think much ailed her except old age. She
reached the respectable age of 2 years 5 months in human years (which is

Baby has recovered nicely, cept she's still missing some hair in the
wound areas. Shes still acting scared, which I'm trying to stop, but she
just doesn't want my attention. I'll just keep trying, hopefully she'll
come around. Ah, well, thats it as far as baby.

Lilyfer is the newest rescue to come here.  She is a long haired sable banded
Syrian female.  
I knew there were 5 Syrians at the shelter and I went to bail at least 2 males

Hi dear hamster friends!
Just to let you know that I have finally managed to update my pics!
Please feel free to take a look and write something in the guest book.

"potty sands" on the market now.  Are any of these actually safe for
hamsters?  Of what materials are they made?  Have any of you tried any

I've not posted here for a while, but I've got a problem. Willow had
been seeming a bit "off" for a few days, I couldn't quite put my
finger on it and she seemed to be eating properly so I just kept an
eye on her. On Thursday night I noticed she wasn't getting up except

I've updates photos of just about everyone. The Robos are really impossible
to tell apart! Momma is the only one who is distinctive right now and she
was not out for a photo tonight. Bert is getting more tame. Cole has a
strange habit of squishing himself up against the glass. We ...

stopand lay real still against his water bottle then get up and run on

My Hammy's teeth are getting a bit too long and I was wondering
if anyone here has clipped thier own hamster's teeth instead of taking
them to the vet to get it done.
If anyone has how did you do it to ensure your hamsters safety as well

He won't eat, drink and has a crusty eye sleeps all day

Hi there... I would love to trade a copy my new book...
I'm (almost finished} writing "Hamster Happy" for
a few great Hamster pictures I can put in my book...
Anyone Interested?

My teddy Oscar seems to be invisible.  He just suffered through his third,
yes THIRD, bout of wet tail (I believe he picked up something from his
playtime with a friend's guinea?).  This 3-year-old little teddy bear is one
of the most magnificently strong creatures that I have ever ...
