Since Peanut is not too happy with the Harry Hamster food, I have searched for a new one with no added sugars, corn syrup, or molassus. We have a Pet Valu...

Hello everyone! My name isn't really Trixy. : ) It is Sandy. Leave it to Jane for her great idea of setting up this group. I am happy to be a part of it. I...
For those of you who mix the contents of your ham's water bottle with Pedialyte, how often do you refill the bottle? It's my understanding the electrolytes...
