Well it looks like our new hamster is sick, or apparently dieing.  The first
day he was somewhat active, though he did sleep allot (but is pretty young
too).  I immediately noticed that night that he had wet spots on his toilet
paper (my friend said that she saw it on the toilet ...

She is such a cute dwarf! I have had her a month now and she is going alone
just fine. She runs on her wheel eats well and drinks well. I take her out of
her cage every day if she lets me and I play with her by letting her run in a

I`m so sorry to report this news to you, my friends, who have given your
support.
At approximately 9:30pm Meatwad expired.
He was a tough little fighter, but his wound was deep and his blood had to

Hi to all and Happy Holidays!
Our family has decided to adopt a hamster (not a Christmas present, by
the way!)probably sometime in January.
We have a lot of questions:  perhaps you can help us!

I think my ham has mites.  He scratches alot and rolls around like he's
drunk.
How do you tell and what do you do to treat them?  Since he won't let us
