I'm not the expert. But I'venever seen a diabetic Dwarf hamster have a siezure. That doesn't mean they don't, I guess. I had an otherwise perfectly healthy...
Hi, We have had a few varieties of the little darlings and we did lose one to a diabetic coma, which was very sad. Pedialyte is good and if no one has...
Posted this on another list, hoping I might get some responses on here about this situation: I started having some problems with my Campbells Dwarfs recently....
I have no definite answer why you have lost so many hamsters. The one way to diagnose, or rule out, diabetes is to purchase the ket-diastix test strips for...
NEVER NEVER EVER USE PINE LITTER in hamster cages!!! Especially with dwarf hammies. That stuff is deadly! If you want to use a mixture, then combine the ...

Thanks everyone for all the responses. You know, I used to raise ducks and had them on pine bedding with lots of respiratory problems because of all the things...

I have a syrian hamster who's been drinking and peeing a lot over the past two weeks or so. I've read up on diabetes in hamsters and will be buying some...
I used fenugreek powder, which I bought at the health food store, stored into a vegetable and meat baby food. Find whatever your hamster likes. No, Kaytee...
I bought fenugreek seeds in a store specializing in Indian food. I'm guessing that not every community has them. I just threw out a package that I bought...
Another hamster at the store I work at has turned up to be diabetic. I already have one. I'd take in the other, but I'm out of space (if you saw my room, you'd...

Well, I have this problem too, my syrian girl Kushe began with bald spots next to her tail and behind her ears, the skin looked irritated and I saw her...
I just confirmed that my little hammie Chewbie is diabetic. He has lost a lot of weight and is peeing a whole lot. I have two hammies Chewbie and Xeno- who is...
As long as your two hamsters are getting along, I would keep them together. The dabetic diet is a healthy diet that is fine even for non-diabetic hamsters....
My little hammie has lost fur on almost his whole belly, and he is always wet ( i'm assuming because of his excessive peeing) I'm most certain it cannot be wet...
I noticed a couple of days ago what looks like a pinkish piece of skin extending from my hammy's rectum. There has also been excessive hair loss, most...
Skin? Or does it look like internal organs pushing out? I'm thinking that this is rectal prolapse. This would be very bad. Do this google search: hamster...
