Pet Forum / Mammals / Hamsters / September 2004

This past monday at work, I learned of a dwarf who had been brought in over
the weekend and was currently sitting in our back room awaiting adoption.
I was told he was extremely aggressive, and would bite hard if you got your
hand near him.  The associate I was speaking too showed ...

Greetings!  This morning, my daughter's hamster escaped from her cage.
I'm looking for suggestions on best ways to chatch the little
dickens!  I'm considering putting out one of those humane animal traps
near her cage.

Some of you (at least some of you who've been around here for awhile)
may remember the story of our first contact with hamsters, which we
posted on the web as Hamster Tales:

I've heard that hamsters are one of the few pets that can actually get a
common cold from humans and owners should be careful with handling and
especially kissing when they have a cold.
Well, with the cold/flu season approaching I was wondering what effect

I've read that Hamsters have bad eyesight & accepted it as a fact.
But how bad could it be if:
Last nite, Hamtaro pushed the bedroom jar away from the tunnel.
He jumped off the glass table ~

I received this message last month and I kept meaning to post it and had
completely forgotten.  I do have the images saved on my hard drive (I think) if
anyone is interested in seeing them.
Here is the message:

Sorry....I had the urge to make a hammy related title but yet not break up the
monotony!!!
I wish everyone & their little **NAKED** furry friends the best!!!
Heh,heh,heh!!!!

Our new hamster Sandy likes to nest in the "Petting Zone" of our
crittertrail 2 cage. But the weird thing is that at night, she pushes
all of the bedding down from the petting zone into the tube, which then
prevents her from going into the rest of the cage. I just assumed

We're probably going to wait till Friday nite to see if the Hurricane is going
to com e this way, before we move this set-up:

We're hoping our Hamster doesn't have to experience what a hurricane is like
But tomorrow will tell whether we need to move his castle to a safer room in
the house. http://community.webshots.com/photo/118341525/118345294DQeoiX
please wish us a safe weekend.

Remember Hamtaro's glass bathroom broke...
Nescafe/Taster's Choice Suddenly switched to plastic jars after 30 yrs.
And there was a MAD SEARCH for a glass jar.
Well Jason, (Mr. Pellipar's human friend: Jason, from the UK)

When we got our two dwarf hamsters I also bought them some Chinchila bath
sand. They loved it from the start and used it often. And then I run out
so I went back to the store and, wouldn't you know it, couldn't find it
again. I checked about 4 stores now and noone seems to have it. ...

Hi all...
my son has a hamster that has been looking worse by the day, and has
frightening symptoms...  first, very large testicles (if it's a male... I
don't know, but it's the right area), secondly, he walks funny and no longer

I hope you can give me a bit of advice.
Our hamster, a female Syrian called Smudge, is fourteen months old. She's
active, perky, happy, and acting as she has always done; she's remained
tame, friendly and she's still enjoying her food, running around her tube,
