Pet Forum / Mammals / Hamsters / September 2005

I have been thinking for quite a while about getting a hamster. I've
been onto many sites looking and reading up on them, and I've fallen
for the lovely little Roborovski hamster....but where oh where on earth
can I get one (err...or two actually?) Does anybody have any ideas. For

Often, I fed my hamster oatmeal and she loved it.  Well, recently I
accidentally fed her some oatmeal with protein powder mixed in.  You
know, the kind for bodybuilders?
She died about a day later.

Folks,
My hamsters water dispenser broke for no reason whatsoever last night,
and its dripped two lots of 50ml into the wood shavings on a nice clean
enclosure :(

We live north of Houston and we will have to ride out the hurricane Rita.
We expect some wind and rain but if we have to get out fast we will.
We have gas and water and peanut butter.
I`ll have to fit the hamsters and other assorted rodentia with little

When out of her cage, Zan's only mission is to escape the sofa, however

blessing bestowed on us.
Pure white and soft as down he was. Always perky with an skewed sense of day

Biscuit (May hamster of the month of the A.P.H. 2004 calendar) is on his
last legs now.  Despite signs of an appetite, he's very wobbly and I

that his end would be peacefully in his house.

i just went feed my hammie and give her some water and also to check on her.
and there was no movement and i lifted her house up and there she was curled
up on her bedding with her eyes open .   but i feel so sad that she has
passed away but i will miss her so.
