Thank you for the vinegar and water solution. Several others have suggested it and it has worked beautifully. I like the fact that it isn't "chemicals"....
You leave the hamster in a ball for a couple of hours? I wouldn't recommend keeping a hamster away from food or water that long. I have had hamsters where...
I usually feed my hamster at the same time every night, about a good time to play. I'll feed and change the water and give the hamster up to a half hour to...
Getting a new wheel was a good thing to do. I would make sure the hamster is warm enough with enough shaving to make a good nest and not near any drafts....
It's been several days now and I think we're all finally getting a handle on this hamster ownership. Freckles has quite the personality. We discovered the...
How did the vet get the meds in her? He can show you how to do it. I would guess you would have to scruff her and put the syringe in the side of her mouth...

I guess I had it easy with Jaws. I held her up with my hand around her waist and put the syringe up to her front teeth and she would lick as I pushed on the...
No, Jaws was not in the ball the full two hours. She did enjoy running the cat around while in the ball. The cat figured out if she ran around and under...
so much for that, she now decided she doesnt like them after all. i'm at a loss. i can't do it & i just hope she doesnt get an infection after all that. will...
I'm not sure how old my hamster is, but I know she is younger than my other one that just passed. I'm having a hard time getting her use to me and my...
With my S'mores I would call her a couple times and say time for medicine and she would poke her head out the window of her house. I would put the syringe up...
Glad to hear things are working out with the meds. I hope the Doc got all the cancer out and it is not a nasty type that will come back. Keep us posted on the...
