At three months Buffy started to show signs of diabetes. He is drinking more water, running less. However he eats well, a diet that has no corn, few sunflower...
Vivian, how much Fenugreek do you give your hamster? I found it in 500mg capsules in powder form. Do you sprinkle it on the food or dissolve in water? Buffy...
I sprinkled half a capsule of the fenugreek on Buffy's food at 4:00 and now at 7:45 his ketones have gone down from large to small, finally. I don't know if...
It was time to test Tyler for diabetes again recently, so I figured I'd put him in an empty critter keeper while I cleaned out his cage, and do it that way....
Does Tyler pee in one place? One of my hams, Meany loves to pee in his wheel, it's a mess to clean everyday (and it does not stay clean for more than a few...
Hi all, I am having an extremely hard time finding the urine strips for diabetes. I can only find the ones for blood. Do you need a perscription? What are...
I use Diastix by Bayer. Where I live, the urine test strips are located behind the pharmacists counter so you need to ask them. You shouldn't need a...
Very sorry to hear about Buffy. I remember that you lost a couple of hamsters in a short time and were worried about getting another. (I can relate to that,...

Well, I'm frustrated. First, it was my hedgehog, Munchkin, who is still very weak ( and she was weak when I got her 3 months ago ) and now has a leg that...
I have kind of a weird way to test my diabetic ham. For some reason, Maroo (and maybe your Tyler), goes pee almost instantly in a paper bag--for reasons I'll...

Hi Kathy Yep, I'm also on the 1hml list. You must mean David Imber - he's a long-term hammy lover and moderator of the hammy list. He and I were both on the...

Oh, God love you, Kathy -- what a horror! You did perfectly, and I'm sure all is forgiven. Hammies don't hold grudges -- takes up perfectly good tofu space. I...
