She wanted to know how the book could be written by
anyone who did not own any the little gems.
In case any one else is wondering ... The author

Today Humpty Dumpty doesn't appear to be drinking and running to the
potty, he has been sleeping and came out for his lettuce and keeps
renesting....BUT he is EXCESSIVELY GROOMING.  Aside from whether or not
he has diabetes, is this grooming routine normal.  His house is cleaned

Hi everyone in hammie land...
I'm just about finished with my e-book:
"Hamster Happy" The essential guide to the vital
care & feeding of your new family member.

I just got around to posting this.. I haven't really felt up to it.
Poppy passed over the bridge earlier this week.  She was sister's with Popo
(the 3 legged fawn).  Poppy was a sweet little opal girl.  Not as outgoing as
her sister Popo, but just as endearing.  While her sister ...

I got home tonight and my cat knocked over Cybil's cage and was eating her when
I walked in. I feel like it's my fault. No, it IS my fault. I have to get rid
of the cat. I can't do this again. I love my hamsters too much to give them up
so the cat has to go. If anyone lives in the ...

I forgot to update you guys on Baby! Sorry! The vet said she should heal
within 2-3 weeks. And, about her not eating, she said that Baby was
probably too sore to eat the hamster mix. I softened the pellets with a
lil bit of warm water, I boiled chicken, and gave her some pasta. ...

Whooo hooo.  I am ecstatic!  Our Maxine is home safe and sound in her cage
(with a lock now, of course)   :-))
She was in our bedroom!  (at least she was when Anthony found her!)  Anthony
heard a light scratching sound...he sat up in bed and started calling

These came out a bit fuzzy but where the best ones from the

Thanks for the pics I will be using them in the book

Any others out there want to make your pet famous?
Still lookin for some sweet ones...

I took Maroo and Honey to the vet and had them tested for diabetes.
Turns out they are perfectly healthy!  She also said that they may have had
a slight UTI (which may have caused the strange dark pungent urine about 4
days ago) but that it's gone now so I don't have to worry.  She ...

Ok, Dre and Bashful have another encounter..
I left the door unlatched on accident. (ashamed to admit) He's in the
Space Station. I noticed he was gone and found hamster droppings on the
baby's stroller. Little booger, must have used it to get to the floor.

I have come to you for some help and advice about a hamster I have just
adopted.  She is about 9 months old and has been with a family who were too
scared to handle her after she bit a couple of the family members.  She has
been allowed to exercise in a ball every night by the ball ...

Okay , I have 2 of my males in a tank...
I cleaned their cage out after I noticed a strange smell. Now, before
this I changed their cage the day before.. Washed, etc.. So I put them
into another cage so I could bleach the other one. (and of course wait a

Thanks for all the info, I got small world food at PETCO, took all the
sugar treats out...now I need to know if anyone has done the
pedialyte????  What is the ratio in the water bottle...I notice with
babies there is a dilution, and do I just keep it filled with that.  He
