I haven't gone the baby food route yet with my guys, it probably a good time to start. Sun has been losing weight too so maybe it'll help with that too. I've...
I haven't yet offered this to hamsters (though I always have some in the house, just in case), but whenever my cats have been sick, I offered them Gerber all...
Clark and Eddy enjoy Gerbers sweet potao and turkey or a plain meat baby food. Once in a while multigrain baby cereal moistened with unsweetened green or ...
I wasn't sure if sweet potato was acceptable veggie. I got a Peas and Brown Rice that only had 2 sugars and a chicken/chicken gravy that also has corn starch....
A word of warning:Clark is only marginally diabetic, and adult onset. I guess you should monitor serum glucose carefully whatever new you feed. And perhaps...
For those of you in or near the Los Angeles/So. Cal. area, have you heard this news story (which just broke yesterday) about the elderly woman w/over 100 rats...
I always made tea for mine. Just make it with fenugreek bags (which they sell in the health food store) and make it the same as we make regular tea. Cool it in...
My albino dwarf, Jimmy, is 3 months past 2 years old, and still going! I think this is in part to the fact that I have been giving him newborn baby food for...
I also make a weak tea. You have to play with the mixture to figure out what will regulate their glucose levels. I stick to a 1 cup of bottled water heated in...

WHY IS THIS PERSON STILL POSTING SPAM ON OUR MESSAGE BOARD??!!! This site is strictly for Honey Hams members, strictly for postings regarding the care of...
She's just one of those rude trolls who keeps spamming & will not listen to requests to stop, polite or otherwise. I've tried. Annoying as it is, just delete...
Trouble is, once we block the email addy, the spammers just come back with a new one … This group gets a blessedly low volume of spam, all things considered!...
I have banned this particular member, so that address should not repeat again. I do this when I can, but I don't always get to it. Sorry. As Calix says, ...

I gave my hams some roasted seaweed (the kind that is wrapped around the outside of some sushi rolls) the other day and they really liked it. Looking at the...
Errrrrr....this is a HAMSTER group. Treating diabetes in dogs and cats is not the same as dealing with it in the hammie population. Check out the following ...
It's absolutely amazing what hamsters will eat, especially when you consider the fact that they are desert inhabitants and there is hardly anything in their...
Could someone please give me a quick explanation of how/why glucose could be negative and ketones moderate in a hamster? Tried looking in the files but just...
One thing I have run into in our state is that there are three breeders who have produced a ton of "dwarf" hamsters and do no testing for diabetes nor do they...

This isn't just a problem in your state. I've talked to a few people and got much the same reaction. These aren't people I was discussing trading stock with,...
