Pet Forum / Mammals / Hamsters / November 2005

I know this isn't the best group per se, but it is the best in that the
proper news group for mice are empty.
I came home tonight to find atleast 13 babies in my mouse cage. I'm at awe
of what to do. I read online pros and cons about seperating the father,

With Myco, is there a chance of loosing fur? I'm wondering because a few
months ago my rat, Tony, died, granted he was four, he had brething
probs, but also a loss fur PLZ HELP!!

About two weeks ago my son brain-locked and put our rat into the cage of
our 18-month-old hamster, Sprinkles, instead of the rat cage. Within
seconds, the rat had bitten her on the back of the head and fairly deep
into the ear.

Dear NG,
I'd like to share the joys I have with my dear little hamster Lucy.
She has an all over white fur, and is always alert and gentle! She adores
attention and she is definetly not camera shy.

There were no hamsters at the shelter, only rats and guinea pigs. My Mom
would never let me keep a rat in the house.
The house was lonely without a hamster. I just got Sophie at PetsMart. She's
a cream coloured short haired Syrian. She's really active and fast! I'd

Sophie is one strange hamster. She sleeps at night and goes running in the
afternoon!
What could cause this? This is clearly not normal. Is Sophie OK?

...but his cheeks are bigger than EVERYTHING!
Last night Renfield managed to stuff an entire unshelled peanut into his
face.  It was hilarious!  His cheek was so big that he couldn't see out
of that eye, as it was buried in the fur.

I got this second hand and have since made a few additions like a
loop-d-loop on the top of the tube on the left. I can't find the house
anywhere online though.
I need a new waterbottle. I bought one, but it seems it fits all critter

Last night is was Mr. Hammykins turn to cross the Rainbow Bridge.
We`ve had him just less than two years, although he is over two years old.
He was given to us when my friend Gloria took him away from her not so nice
niece.

I'm pretty new here, but I was hoping someone here might have some ideas for
me. I have three dwarf hamsters, one male and two females. One of the
females had a litter of six babies about five days ago. The babies are just
starting to get some fuzz, and their eyes are not open yet.

I sit here tonight, writing what is probably the most painful eulogy I've
ever written for one of our friends, the only exception perhaps being one
other.
Exactly 1 year and 2 months from the day he came home with me, my dearest

I miss the little fellow. :-(

Our beatiful dwarf hamster - yet dead, three weeks after cancer was found.
Even the last day she walk in wheel, come to hand an so on...
She go sleep, and when I check her a while after midnight, she was dead and
cold.

last night was Shady`s last night with us.
She had an inoperable tumour or growth on her belly. I could not find a vet
who would operate on her to remove it.
She was old and probably would not have survived the operation. Shady lived

I went to check on Hammie and he was dead. Just a while ago he was still
alive. I tried giving him some water and he wouldn't take it. Now he's dead.
I'm sad.
