Hello, I just bought a hamster and a supposedly "Hamster starter kit." However, the cage is a wire cage with the pull-out tray, and the litter they supplied...
I just got a 6 month old panda bear hamster. Litter box training is going well for pee, but she is putting her poops in the food dish!! She isn't pooping in...
Hello, Thanks for your input. Hmm. I have read from several sources now that Pine has aromatic oils that can give respiratory problems to hampsters. Also, is...
You're taking a risk by using pine. Also, for the hamster's safety, I wouldn't use a wired bottomed cage because their feet and legs can fall through can...
Hi Everyone!...My long haired female hamster had babies this morning. Not sure how many yet, I didnt want to disturb her. I will be looking for homes for the...
I don't really know a whole lot about this putting poopies in the food dish, but was thinking it probably isn't much to worry about? My hamster poops only in...
I agree with the last reply. I personally wouldn't use pine or cedar. I have my first hamster, and have only had her for a couple of weeks and have read that...
Having her poops in the food dish isn't a big problem, as long as she also has fresh food. Hamsters will sometimes, I know this is gross, but..., eat their...
Yes, it is gross, but they do it. I was also told by a vet. that rabbits have to do it. We had a rabbit once that had to wear one of those Elizabethan...
Hello Brian, as far as the Pine bedding, I have some friends who work in a carpenter shop and bring me all the Pine shavings from there for my hammies, and I...
Evidently, hamsters will eat their poop to get certain nutrients that they missed "the first time around" it takes some getting used to, but don't let it gross...
Hi Thanks for the input! I did purchase a new cage without a wire bottom now for my syrian male and bought Carefresh for the litter. The cage is about a foot...
Hammies love to climb. As long as you have a good amount of Carefresh at the bottom, I wouldn't worry about him being injured. My dwarfs are always climbing...
Hi - I read this group a lot and wouild like to add my 2 cents worth. I feed my hammie 1-2 treats a day. I see where that is a topic here a lot. The important...
I agree with Tina 100% on this one, hammies love to climb, and as long as you have pleanty of bedding on the floor of the cage there will be no problem. All...
Thanks. It just looks like he gets startled when he falls down. And sometimes he falls down on a wood block or the little wood home I have for him. Brian ... ...
I think that you made your 2 cents go a long way Jethro, as you made some very good points about the food and those little "prisons." Too much veggies can...
Mine climb all the time...They actually prefer to climb up the side of the cage for their treats (that I offer at the bottom of the cage)..If I give them a...

It's decided. Hamster to be destroyed. Imagine, how can a hamster bite a chunk of my flesh and love the taste of human blood and flesh ?? It's beyond my...
Ok, I'm just going to say it. You decided to rescue him and because he's meaner than you thought, you want to get rid of him, possibly taking him back to the...
How about just not handling him? Just take care of him and feed him, let him live. You don't need to be holding him (at least I don't think so) I'm sure...
I have to go somewhere for a few days, leaving in seven hours. Will continue to check this list and my e-mail. If anyone knows of a carrier company that...
Your post sounded as if you have already made up your mind to not keep the hamster. If that is the case, I would probably try to find another option rather...
