Pet Forum / Mammals / Hamsters / June 2004

I'm looking for some pictures of other people's Rotastak cage layouts, to
give me some ideas of how to remodel Mr. Pellipar's lair. Specifically, I'm
trying to give him a few interesting and inter-linked tubes to explore.
Anybody got any pics?

We had to go away at short notice over the weekend and didn't have anyone to
look after Hannibal, so we stocked her up on food (fresh and dried) and
fresh water.
We come home yesterday and noticed she was a bit sluggish when she woke up,

 We got our first hamster last night and we put him in his new cage. He bit
my wife as soon as she went to take him out of the box from the pet store to
put into his cage. All night long and even now he still make a raspy hiss
type noise like a whine shreek. Is this normal or is he ...

Today I woke up to find our little Dzjenghis gone. The poor little fella
must've died in his sleep. He looked peaceful and we'll miss our little
playful friend.
What puzzles me is that he was only 10 months old. He has a large and

I just bought my third hamster, a male Teddy Bear, yesterday. He is
housed in an aquarium, with an exercise wheel, water bottle, food
dish, and I just recently added some toilet paper tubes so he can have
something to chew on.

Well, June 7th is both my daughter's  & our hammie Bert's natal day.
My daughter is 12 and Bert is 1.  When we picked him up at the shelter
last July, my daughter had already picked him out when she saw his
little cage card that had his birthday on it!  A match that was meant

As another Sunday passes so does another dear friend :(   On the very day
she was born so the day she dies three years ago today. She was loved and
played with 495 days in a row. I will miss another of my dearest. :(:::::
Two Sundays in a row I am saddened by the passing of another ...

I am starting to breed my fourth litter of hamsterpups. This is going to be
my third litter and I am really looking forward to see the little furballs
running around in the cage again:)
The only problem is that they wont mate. And I think that that is how it

It's my boyfriend's birthday today...
Look what came out of the bag!!

Slightly off topic...
We've added 3 new members to our fold.  3 goldfish - Nemo, Dory and Gollum.
I work in a hotel, and, much to my distaste, the conference dinner that was
on had goldfish in large lily vases as the table centre pieces.  The fish

I'm considering getting some russian dwarfs. How much space do they
need? How many should I get?

We have increased our zoo. Here is the break down.
Paul = that is my 13 yo human baby.
Shaker = is a 18 pound long haired tom cat.
Fudge = is our resident little lady, she is a Syrian.

She passed over the weekend so now I take care of this little fella.

Conan has wet tail. I spoke with the woman at the pet store and she kept
telling me to get Dri-Tail and finally I got angry and told her that I
needed Baytril. She kept telling me that I needed to put the Dri-Tail in
water, and then dip Conan up to his ears in it to be sure it ...

Our little dwarf Watermelon will WAKE up, come BANG on his cage if he smells
the people food. For a treat tonight Clyde brought home pizza. Well when he
smelled it there he came acting like a wild monkey wanting some pizza. Of
course he didn't get any. Clyde gave him some egg and he ...
