How adorable! I never thought of making hamster hats - I wonder if she could see those hats on eBay.... Michelle ... nbowdiabeticpetsfund Yahoo! Groups Links ...
Genes, Sandy's bleeding is definately coming from her vagina. She's very tame so I am able to turn her over and check. In her case, the blood is so bright...
How much is she bleeding? It is actually quite common in female dwarfs to occasionally bleed from the genitals. I have seen it in quite a few of mine. ...
I wanted to say I hope Sandy is doing better. I don't know anything about this since I have male dwarves. I sure hope she gets better quickly! Michelle ... ...
Jen, I'm thinking of the both of you each time I'm tending to Baby. She's not leaving any blood in bedding, and her urine seems to have less blood in it each...
As I go over my notes on Maggie, I can connect the glipizide IN THE WRONG sugar base to a worsening event for her. So not only do you need a vet that knows...
... I have encouraged every dwarf breeder that I know to join this list -- even if they don't think they have diabetics. To me, it is the best way for them to...
Hi. I was the one who brought up the "living together" message. I just want to say that I believe it is a territorial thing. At least this is what mine have...
Since we have mentioned breeders a little in the last few posts, can anyone direct me to a reliable breeder in the South Jersey, Philadelphia and its suburbs...
Most of mine are the same way. I had 6 dwarves with 5 cages. Only two sisters could be housed together. The others just either don't like the company, or...
I hope all your female hammies end up okay. I too had a female hamster, Princess, bleed for two to three days and then stop. I hope the bleeding is nothing...
I have purchased a lot of new critter-trail tubes to build some sort of play pen for my hamsters as a holiday spoil :) But I don't know if it'd be better to...
Mine love their tubes! I made the tubes go from one side of the cage to the other, so there was a destination for them (just thinking it'd be more fun that...
Hope the info you can get about these plans help out with vet bills & human bills of course. Can't wait for it to go nationwide like the people plan,awesome...
A more direct link is: http://www.thevetplan.com/ looks like it is only available in the Dallas/Ft Worth area but since I live in Austin I'll keep my eyes open...
Thanks for the direct link - I couldn't quite figure out where pets were covered on the other page. I thought maybe under the 'household' plan, but then they...
I adopted two dwarf hamsters last night. I took two males (*I hope*), the father of the litter and one 4-week old son. So far, so good. Fortunately, the...
Congratulations on your new family members! Hamsters amaze me at how we can buy them great houses or tunnels or toys - and they choose their own places for...
I just recently bought a 2 month old campbell's RE Lilac from an area breeder and find out she is diabetic. I informed the breeder right away and she has...
Hello, I wanted to introduce myself ... I came across your group while searching for information about diabetes and hamsters. My daughter's dear Samantha, a...
... Nobody answered and she's waited since August so her mushrooms must be pretty nasty by now ;o) Anyway, keep your mushrooms in a brown paper bag in the...
Hi Barb. I tried to reply to your message about Lilac, but my computer didn't want to post it. Guess I was too wordy. Well, I try this way. I get Fenugreek...
Thanks so much Sue. Lila is very weak. She doesn't ride her wheel 'ever' and she sleeps almost 24/7. I've tried to prepare the kids for her death. She is ...
... breeder and find out she is diabetic. I informed the breeder right away and she has retired the parents. Would you be willing to also invite her to join...
Ellen - I have always used cages for the dwarfs and they have been superior to the glass tanks I've used. It has been easier to handle them because I've...
Barb, I have found a spike in my little Coco's glucose when she is given any kind of cheese. I aim for the mozerrella as it's a milder cheese. Out of all of my...
... Thanks for the info Barb! I'm so sorry Lila is so sick. It's so hard to watch them when they feel bad. Poor little girl! I have all form of fenugreek...
