Pet Forum / Mammals / Hamsters / December 2004

Hey, I know not everyone is a cat lover. But I don`t think any of you would
be cruel
and harm any animal. I have been a member of this group a long time and I

My 11 year old daughter received a hamster from Santa this year, and I
wanted to bounce a couple of things off you guys to make sure everything is
OK (just a little paranoid about the little guy).  I had gerbils growing up,

and buys her one (a little "panda bear").  Since she can't hide it at

hamsters.

I have some serious concerns over conditions at a local petstore.  It seems
very clear to me that the animals, especially the sugar-gliders and

I just went to the NLA rabbit adoption site and saw a pic of Hami! At least
that little guy looks just like my little hammie did when I first got him.
Don't know if it's a male or not, but I would go for it anyway. If I were out
there, I'd grab him in a sec. Hope you get him. Call ...

I bought a hamster cage (didnt get the hammy yet) for my stepbrothers.
Syrains being the calmest i thought they woul be best. I want to know if
anyone has a Mini Critter Trail One. Its nice but is  to small for a
Syrain. I think that this is a good presant. Also when should i buy ...

I noticed that my hamster today had this dark brown watery stuff comming
out of her. And shes bloated like shes pregnant,and i think she is. But
my problem is that one of my male hamsters somehow got in her cage and
