Hi all, I am used to syrians, so I don't know much about dwarfs. I have a pair of sisters here that we got from Martha. They have been very sweet tempered...
I'm not a dwarf expert, but when I heard those sounds coming out of the cage after bringing Alfie and Zeke home, I separated them. Alfie would shriek and...
My diabetic dwarfie Miranda died yesterday. My remaining hamster Monty is not very happy, he is constantly coming to the cage door, and looking out and...
Over and over at many websites I have been told they can live together peacefully. But... none of mine will. And it is not "play fighting". They did that...
I take it you had a female living with a male. How did you handle that without having a whole slew of babes? I bet Monty would like another female, but would...
Nancy I've kept dwarfies longer than syrians, and they do best alone. If you have a pair, separate them immediately! Esp. if they are males. Also, they tend...
Joy, These are two GIRLS, and they have been together forever. They never bite when you take them out. It only happened once or twice when she tried to take...
... and ... pretty ... I don't think its very easy to introduce new hammies into an existing hams territory, though I have heard it easiest to introduce a...
No, Miranda was actually a male too, but the two hamsters used to carry on like a little married couple. And Miranda was defintely the dominant hamster and...
Hello all- I'm not sure how many of you will remember me and Bob. However, Bob is a diabetic. I found that out in February when I tested him. His glucose is...
Heya all... I was wondering if anyone was aware of a powdered version of Pedialyte? I'm using unflavored pedialyte liquid bought in those liter bottles, but...
Hi everyone. I havn't posted in sometime but have been reading daily. My Speed Racer (diabetic ham) is doing great thanks to all the suggestions here....
I'm not even sure gender has anything to do with it anymore. I've heard plenty of debate here about how especially these and those hamsters will tend to fight...
Have you tried the Ultra Carefresh? My dad also seems to be "allergic" to Carefresh as sometimes it can be a bit dusty. He's okay when the package doesn't...
This is my experience. One girl was bitey until her diabetes got under control. She is not bitey anymore. But my boys!! This biting thing only started as...
... My boys are the mellow ones. None of them are cage aggressive and only a few of them ever nip. Ladon, the dad, is the mellowest hamster I've ever had....
Maynard, I miss you since you left this morning. It's hard to imagine opening my bedroom door at night and not seeing you in your wheel anymore. I know your...
Another piece of our heart goes with these little furries. I am sorry to hear about your Maynard. I still miss my little furries and have been without a hammy...
Maynard is in hamma heaven with the rest of our little furries. I hope Takun is keeping all of our vacationing furries good company! I hope there are cashews...
Hi, Does anyone have any tips for distinguishing nearly identical dwarf hams? In the rescue I operate, I have three trios of normal dwarf hams - two trios of...
What I've done before when I had a pair of identical normal brothers is cut off just a patch of hair on one. Just a little so that the colored tips don't show...
Hey! I just happened to look inside my hamster's cage earlier today, and he wasn't in there. It wasn't open or anything, so I have no idea how he got out. We...
It is a scary thing when the little hams are missing! Mine have escaped a few times, but usually when I accidentally leave the door open. So it's usually my...
hello all, i know it has been along time but thing have been a mess here. as for the escaped hammy it has happend lots of times to me. i used to have 2 syrians...
Trust me--escaped hamsters, if they can, WILL come back. As you all know I let my hamsters run loose in the house. I leave the cage door open and they run...
