Pet Forum / Mammals / Hamsters / May 2004

Well today was the day to pet the new hamster. Now in the pet store he was
all lovable. Well tonight he was hell on wheels. He was biting and really
really meaning it. I put on one of my husbands work gloves put my hand in
the cage and just let him get it out of his system. There is ...

I was reading here about diabetes and was wondering if those strawberry and
blueberry yogurt treats that are made for hamsters are bad for them? We
haven't given any to the new dwarf yet but the other one gets 1/2 in the
morning and 1/2 at night. Amylee.

I have some Nutri-Nibbles, which my hams adore. I've only given them half of
one so far, broken up because they're a little too big. My question is
this - Do you guys know anything about them? Do you know if they're bad for
dwarves? I'm nervous about increasing their chances of ...

He seems to love playing in his wheel for absolutely hours at a time..
although I notice frequently he is running in there and accidentally (?)
stops or something and gets taken around the wheel once or twice, sometimes
getting flung out of it even. It doesn't seem to phase him ...

Just thought a post to say goodbye to all our furry friends who have past
over the rainbow bridge, especially those who have been mentioned recently,
Spaz, Bundle, Holly, & Ice Cream, and any who have not been mentioned but
who are missed.  May they have peace in their new home.

I was in town today, that being a hundred mile round trip, and thought that
while I was there I would buzz by Petco to let them know that the last
hamster they sold us was not well. I was not wanting a refund or exchange
just to let them know so they could check their hamster ...

I have read a few posts on here about the cost of cages and supplies. I
bought a few things on ebay, for real good deal, but I bought some of my
cages and stuff from www.petfooddirect.com. Their critter trail cage is
$17.99, and I know they are $40.00 or more at pet stores. Also, if ...

I was told by Deb today that it's possible that my hammies are Winter
Whites, not Campbells. (Because I noticed on the receipt that it said
Siberian Dwarf Hamster) I posted a couple of quick pictures of them.. anyone
have any idea which they might be? The pics aren't great, but I ...

I just started  up a webcam which shows my syrian Willow. She's usually up

take a look at her you can do so here:

What can I feed them besides hammie food & egg???

Hello! It's me again. I have been cleaning their cages every other night
since they got sick, and I thought tonight when I clean them, I will put
the babies in their own cage apart from the mom, but I'm not sure what sex
they are. I checked them last night, but I couldn't really ...

After an accident about 18 days ago (which involved Mrs Chinese Dwarf
teleporting through 10mm of solid glass and an 80cm tall fish tank, we
found her in Mr Chinese Dwarf's house.  Twice.
She's now got a great deal more bulky than she used to be, so she'll
