Pet Forum / Mammals / Hamsters / November 2007

Sorry to post Yet Another Hamster Obit (YAHO), but my wonderful female
syrian Ham*Star passed away early this morning.
She was a grey and white "dalmation" type and won the San Diego Petco

little black dwarf who was so scruffy he was cute, like a little black bear

Just dropped in to see how everyone and their hams are doing.
As of a month ago we are now living in a stone cottage in Scotland. Its

Campbell dwarf called Billy. he has been on a course of baytril for quite a
while now for sore, slightly swollen legs but yesterday we noticed that he
wasn't as active as normal and today he was 10 times ...

Just thought I'd post a message saying hello just to give
the group a shot of life. We must be going through a bit
of a slump.
How's everybody's babies doing? All right?
