Pet Forum / Mammals / Hamsters / November 2003

Those of you who visit my site will see that my entire
stalwart trio is now gone. We had to put Grenville to sleep
on Friday, due to massive tumours. Thankfully, he was in no
pain and quite himself right up to the end, so I think we managed

 Well, Im actually asking for my friend who doesnt know what a newsgroup is. I
gave him one of Cinnimons babies and it now has (like 2 months later) 4 patchs
of long grey fur that stick up in the back of him. For a Black Bear hamster

I have one that is a few months old. real sweet. Can i get another one

For some time now I have noticed that Priscilla weighs less than Elvis, I
haven't measured their weight or anything it as I don't have any scales but
I know from just lifting one up from the other.  Is this something to be
concerned about?

Well, I know the answer to this but I cant do it. Sugar has been biting his
bars forever, and I know that adding tubes is the answer. The problem with that

We would really like to get a hamster.  I have had them before, but never

I finally got the courage to clean out Fluff's cage.  It was like I
didn't want to say goodbye completely yet, so I left his cage intact
for a week or two.  I started looking at the cage and the bedding
and the nest, though, looking for Mr. Fluff in there, so I figured

Sheldon, our dwarf male, was found dead last night.
He is survived by his life mate Crystal, and scores of children,
grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
Sheldon lived to be a ripe old age. He was active and healthy up until his

I have been a lurker here for some time, but this is my first post. My
Syrian sweetie Lady Min Pinkfoot-Floyd has been diagnosed with Cushings
disease and I was wondering if there is anyone here with experience of the
disease in hamsters and if so, do you have any hints and tips fo ...

Hello again,
Well, Sandy seems to be all better. We had a meeting with the vet. It
was set up for last week,  but before we went she stopped scratching
all on her own. All the flakey skin is gone & she seems to be just
