I was assuming shredded newspaper wouldn't be okay, since a lot of ink seems to come off on your hands when you read it. Figured that wouldn't be good for...
When we were at the pet store recently, I had a worker telling us that dwarf hamsters live just as long as the larger syrian hamsters. Is that true? From my...
Tina, best we can tell the boys were playing with her when hubby thought they were in the bed. They didn't get the cage back just right, so when everything...
That is awful. Unfortunately, kids, dogs and cats will be just that. I'm sorry about the way your hubby acted. That wasn't right. If anything, he should...
Some ink in newspaper is made with soy. You have to check the newspaper company. I have used my newspaper for piggies and ratties and gerbs and hammies. I...
I'm very sorry about Beju. It was very hard for a couple of days to look at my dog because he got my 2 dwarf hamsters last winter. I didn't close the cage...
We had a teddy bear hamster for about 7 months. We were in a smaller apartment while we had her, and the apartment seemed to always be very warm. In August we...
I'm wondering the same thing. I keep mine in a storage closet on my patio at my apartment and I leave the door open just a little bit to keep the air ...
Hamsters will be fine in temperatures ranging from 50 - 80 degrees Farenheit. They do prefer an average of 68 degrees farenheit, out of direct sunlight, other...
Well it sounds like our temperature downstairs should have been okay for the hamster..at night it is generally about 67 or 68 degrees- so I guess maybe that...
I think so too, but he just didn't seem to care one way or the other. Thanks for your thoughts. I took so much time with her, because her sister was fighting...
And even though we think they are in hamster proof rooms, that is not always the case. There is no way she could have gotten out, except to squeeze under the...
Something is wrong with my hamster Daisy. She seamed find just a few days ago. Today I went to see her to put her in her ball. She normally cant wait to get...
If she's 3 years old then it could definitely be old age. You should take her to the vet. Maybe they can give her something to help you. I hope she's going...
Thank you for your reply. A little latter last night she did come out of her bedding and ate some food and drink some water. She is moving around a little but...
Although I'm not really afraid of my hamster, she was very nervous about being handled when I first got her. Hamsters tend to bite when they're scared, so make...
I noticed this evening that my hamster wa bleeding slightly from her bottom. It was not pouring and stopped after around 5 minutes. I read somewhere that...
I would take her to the vet. I've had a couple of hamsters that started bleeding from that area and they both died from tumors. Better safe than sorry. Tina ...
Unfortunately the vets here are closed over the weekend. Apart from the bleeding, which is not constant or excessive, she is fine. She's very lively, running,...
Poppy is completely better! There has been no sign of any bleeding for a few hours and she is running about more than ever! It appears that female hamsters,...
My Boo had this terrible smelly stuff coming from her private area tonight. It was a cream colored liquid. I washed her off. Hope she is OK. Any ideas??...
My Boo had this terrible smelly stuff coming from her private area tonight. It was a cream colored liquid. I washed her off. Hope she is OK. Any ideas??...
That sounds like the stuff Poppy usually gets, around once a month for a few days. I believe it means that the hamster is of child bearing age and is in...
My hamster get that nasty creamy stuff whenever she gets scared. Snoozers is very afraid of Georgie to the point where I have to keep a towel or something...
Hehehehehe!!! Yes, the smell was really bad. I have had Boo for a year and I never smelled this before. Oh well, there's always the first time. Thanks for...
