Hi, do you or anyone you know want to adopt my two chinchillas? I have two,
one mother and one son. Because of the very limited time I can spend with

It turns out that I will be staying longer in Korea! My director really
wants me to stay at the school and when the kids found out I was going they
all cried and begged me to go! But I really want to visit my family in

We got a teddy bear hamster (gray, white-banded, two months old) and I
need some advice, 'cuz it's sick.
About two days after arrival, it came down with diarrhea.  I don't think
it's Wet Tail, because it doesn't seem that horrible.  The ham is still

I'm new here looking for emergency help!  My female dwarf had pups 7
days ago and yesterday, I found one of her pups seperated from the
group and he is now missing his right hind leg.  I know that Mothers
routinely eat their pups when something is wrong with them or

She is completely hairless!!!! My hubby said she looked like a "Hideous
testicle" But to me she was beautiful!!!!
I think i will name her Propecia (Hee Hee)
The "Satanic furball" is a little less satanic.....She isn't NICE but she is

Our lovely little boy Onyx passed away on us last night, while being held in
Judy's hands.
We came home from work and found him lying very still and barely breathing,
he passed about an hour later.
