THe runt of our litter seems to be a good bit smaller than his brothers and
sisters and he walks very gingerly.  They came out of the mom's cage this
past sunday. What can I do for him?

Frappy, after giving birth 2 1/2 weeks ago, seems to have lost her bottom
teeth. Her litter was 14 pups.  I have left a messgae for the aniimal

It turns out that Frappy was a few days pregnant when we bought ...

So, I just bought my first hamster and I have to say, I'm a little freaked
out.  I had a hamster when I was little but of course, it was really more my
mom's and I just talked to it through the cage.  I don't even recall if it
was a boy or girl...

As you all know Granddads have all the answers, well not always so I give
thanks to the internet and some lovely people who are out there.
My daughter got two Russian dwarf hamsters for her two boys, well she says
they are for the boys but I think it is different.<VBG>

Does anyone know what happened to Hilary?
Haven't seen a post from her in quite some time.
P.S. - How's everybody's babies doing? Fine I hope.
