Re: Male or female?
I found a really lovely male that I want sooo baddd. He’s fairly young but he is so so sleepy. Like last night we saw him and we picked him up and he fell asleep in our hands and just sat there. He looks outwardly healthy. He has been handled a ton and is in a small enclosure with basically no ...

Re: Male or female?
Well... I don't want to lie to you and say a Syrian female is easy to keep in an enclosure. I have an enclosure of that size and in spite of my best efforts all my females always needed floor time.

Re: Update on my rats!
Oh wow, they look so happy and healthy! I remember they were having some issues right in the beginning but they look good now!
I didn't even realize how many color variations and fur patterns rats could have.
That cage looks like rat paradise! All that enrichment! You always do such a good job on ...

Re: Robo Hamster Advice?
Hi everyone! It's been a while. I got a roborovski hamster (her name is Penelope and she is 2 months old) about a week and a half ago and I have a few questions since this is not a species I have experience with. Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, I wasn't sure.

Re: My new hammy will only eat vegetables!
Welcome Ori and Walnut!
I have had a couple of picky eaters for sure.
First thing I would say, it's important to weigh your hamster every week to see if he's losing or gaining weight. That will help you know if there is an issue with his diet.
What kind of hamster is Walnut?

Re: Can hamsters eat chickpeas/garbanzo beans?

August Hamster of the Month Contest (HOTM)
Hi everyone,
Unfortunately, I am not nearly as talented as some of the people on this site that give beautiful art as prizes so I will instead be offering a 5 dollar Amazon gift card via email (or if you are in a place where Amazon is not a thing, we can work something else out).

Have you seen the new Nite Angel food?
I just ordered the new Nite Angel food (Syrian "Golden") variety. They have a dwarf variety too. It actually looks pretty good for a store bought food! Still need some extra protein like all the commercial mixes but nice variety and my current hamsters jumped on it to eat it which was nice to see ...
