Pet Forum / Mammals / Hamsters / February 2005

I had two female robovoroski hamsters which I purchased from the same
cage on the same day. Once the hamsters were in there new home they did
fight a bit, I put this down to them trying to find out who would be the
boss. Usually after a little scrap they would be found cuddled by ...

hi :0) i just found myself the new owner of some incredibly cute Chinese
hamsters, now i've been looking them up, and some places say to never keep
them 2gether, and some say it's ok as long as u keep a watchful eye and give
them plenty of room (which of course i have been doing) ...

To have loved and then said farewell is better than to have never loved at
all.

Does anyone give their hamsters these??
Supposed to be fruity flavoured pumice etc for chewing. I was a bit worried
about the colourants ???

Hi. I have got a Syrian Hamster (Chocolate Brown-So Cute!).  He is in a
cage with 2 layers (excluding the bottom) accessable by plastic
ladders.  I have also got an "Igloo" for him to sleep in.  The cage

My hamster Yopy has started urinating in his tube since last night
(07/02/2005). At first it was a Baileys creamy colour, but this morning
it is quite a vibrant orange colour. Is this normal? It seems to be
since I changed to a new bag of sunflower seeds yesterday. Also is

We obtained our Syrian girl a week ago from a pet shop.  She is housed in a
Habitrail unit with a fair number of tunnels and rooms as well as an
attached maze.  I built a 12" high plexiglass wall around the habitat in
hopes she could play "outside."

We have just bought two dwarf russian boys, got them home, put them in their
space age cage and they're exploring. Problem is, their sleeping zone is
located 'upstairs' and can only be accessed via a tube. Are they going to be
