Pet Forum / Mammals / Hamsters / August 2007

I live in the UK. Our hamster cage has a series of tubes (big surprise) -
basically it's a wire cage, plastic tray bottom with tubing that goes out of
one place and back into the cage somewhere else. Our hamster likes the
tubes!

I found a large lump on my syrian Obi last night and took to the vet
tonight so after checking, has confirmed that it is not an abcess, but
a more sinister growth.
They have booked Obi in for an op tomorrow morning.

my 2 year old Syrian Boris has recently been diagnosed as having diabetes,
has anyone got any advice
thanks

over the past couple of days its seems as if our syrian hamstet is
developing a sligyht bald spot on the top of his head.
is this normal or is there something wrong with him?
thanks

Just wondering.. my hamster seems not to mind being petted and stroked and
kissed.. wondering if all that attention reminds hamsters of their mothers.
Can a breeder let me know what kind of attention (if any) the mother hamster
gives the baby hamsters?

The group is working so I can safely assume that everyone`s hamsters are doing wonderfully.
I know mine are.
Sassy is now one of the sweetest hamsters I`ve ever had. She coms to see me when I appear at her tank and she lets me pick her up with no problem.
She loves to run in her ...
