Better hide your hamster of Santa will have fun with it !

Dear Hamster Friends,
I haven't been around very much in the newsgroup lately. So many
reasons, so little excuses.
Nevertheless when Tineke and Fonske II passed away, you were there with

This morning our 18 month old Syrian female was 'whimpering' (only quietly)
in her bed.
We woke her up to check on her and she has a graze (not quite a cut and
doesn't look like it's been bleeding) on her tail and is limping slightly on

I've recently acquired a Roboroski hamster and although I have 8 Syrians and
have the correct style of cage and I know that I'm looking after him

I was out of town for a few weeks, so I sent Bistro to 'Camp Aaron'.  I
brought him home last night.
I carried him in the usual winter manner - in a small jar tucked in a
sports bra under my coat, with guauze rubber-banded over the top for air.

It is colder than a witch's widgeon here, down in the 20s and the temperature

Hi folks, sorry I have been so absent lately but I am trying to get my
greeting cards printed up. Two new outlets have signed up to carry them!
Anyway, I added a new "tub" to MouseGirl's home. It is full of sand and

She had been slowing down a lot of late, and not staying up all night
running like she used to.
She was still eating her tofu every time it was offered, but her spry little

I need your thoughts on this...
INSTEAD of the space-taking staircase, is there any reason I shouldn't
use a (fully scrubbed, clean) 1/2 brick to not only climb up on to reach
2nd level but to also use it as a chew thing for his teeth?

My hamsters name is Amo he is 1 yr old, he is beige and white,he likes
to eat jaffa cakes and digestive biscuits.  He chews all my things up.

Ten days ago I gave a new little hammie a home, following the death of my first
one in mid-November. Although Haji, my newbie,  is a cute little guy, I am
having a lot of trouble bonding with him, as he is so different in temperament
from Hami. Of course, I realize that hamsters, ...
