Pet Forum / Mammals / Hamsters / July 2004

I am new to the newsgroup and I have been reading excerpts from about the
last year and a half.  (all in the last week)  I now have 7 Syrians, I
bought two "females" at different times and one of them ended up being a
male.  I know now that I should have not had them in the same ...

Casper's tum is looking very sore again, we are off to vets to see if he has
any advice.  It is in the same place as last time, around his scent gland.
Although it doesn't seem to be affecting him, it has blood there, no gunk
this time.  I wondered if anyone had any advice?

I own about 30 or more hamsters most are dwarfs. Im scared that one of
there deaths were my falt and this was one of my syrains. She got out of

Well I got the nerve and put on some of hubbys leather work gloves and
picked up Watermelon and turned him over. How to put this nicely. Okay, he
is a boy. Didn't need to check the space or anything he just let me know
right away. Now I am putting him on a exercise regimen the lazy ...

We got Watermelon and Flip together. Now here is the mystery. I think
Watermelon is pregnant. He is suppose to be the male. Even though we haven't
changed his diet or any change in activity level he is getting really fat.
We turned Flip over today and looked and she has quite a ...

Well right now its 12:25 AM, and my hamster just got returned to his cage.
Tonight I went to bed at 8:00, completely exhausted for no reason I cant tell.
I woke up at 11:50, not really knowing why so all I did was go to the bathroom
and sit awake in bed for a while. I hear the ...

Last night, after cleaning the whole cage, my daughter and I noticed a bit
of an interesting behaviour and I wanted to ask you guys here what you

The two ham girls (Campbell's dwarves) were very excited (we changed the

Hello, my name is Dr. Glenn Livingston, and

I'm interested in having an e-book developed
for me on Hamsters.

I had quite a laugh last night. Capuccino and Honey Comb are in a habitrail
mini cage, the kit that has water bottle, food dish and a little exercise
wheel. I have never liked that wheel - it hang from the "ceiling" of the
cage taking up a lot of space and it has an open "channel" ...

Today we introduced Casper back into the band of brothers!! So far so good!
The boys have been playing together on several different occasions, and
their cages are right next to each other, so are already used to Casper's
smell, as he is to them :o)  Casper has gone into their cage ...

He came out to play this morning and I got some great (I think) photos of
him.
He's a little camera hog now LOL.  Loves to come out and play.

The other day I brought home yet another tiny tiny ham who needed adopting.
So far he's extremely friendly, though shy until he's out and about.  Sleeps
a lot and prefers the dark, but a real sweetie once he's out in your hands.
Not sure how much he'll grow, he's so tiny now.

Attlia was a sweet little sable teddybear that had the cutest butt in the
world!! She had 10 wonderful babies...1 of which we kept & I will miss her
My hubby was carrying her (like he always did) & she jumped off his shoulder &
hit the floor badly & hard...She didn't suffer but you ...

I am pleased to announce that after three days our new baby ham has

as she looks like one.
she is a crazy little thing she runs around frantically and chews her
