Pet Forum / Mammals / Hamsters / March 2004

Today is a sad day.....I went to feed Toddy this morning & she was curled up
like she was sleeping but she had passed on......She had always been too small
for her age & had behavior problems but I guess I wanted to give her a chance
at a normal life......

I just came across a reference in one of the other threads to toilet training.
Was the poster serious or just joking? Can hamsters really be toilet
trained??!!! If so, how on earth do you do that, given that they are caged

Sorry to have been away for so long, but you people made me so enthusiastic
about the idea of getting a hamster that I ran out last week and finally took
the plunge!!! Since then, I have been doting on and spoiling rotten my adorable

Greetings all!
Just thought I'd fill you in on Bert's latest adventure...a trip to

move out of home.  I've pretty much decided that i am going to do it.

Well I put the millet in the warm, clean glass bedroom, he pouched a few,
unpouched it, sniffed a lot, sat down, nibbled at the seeds from his paws...
The millet seeds keep getting stuck between his toes.  Which concerned me, so I

I got some millet(on a stalk) when I was in our local feed merchants.  I
thought the hams would enjoy a little for an occasional treat, but then
couldnt find it on the list of safe foods.
So is it ok for Syrians??

I think my Hammy Eiko has Wet Tail!!!
Her rear end looks wet and sticky.
I've cleaned her Home asbest I can and set her down for the night but I need to
know what I should do next.
