Christmas Treats For Our Beloved Pets
Be it the dog who snuggles next to you at night or the kitty who delights you with her antics every day, or the parakeet that sings so sweetly for you or even that hamster or gerbil that your child talked you into, I have a recipe for a special present for them.
I am strongly considering buying a hamster. Can anyone provide me with information about owning a hamster. Thanks.
Our hamster got sick and died a couple nights ago. I need to know a safe way to clean and disinfect the cage so the next one we get does not "catch" whatever Princess had. We had 2 cages for her to go back and forth in, and the 1 is all plastic. I do not want to use bleach as it may seep into the plastic and make the next one sick. Any ideas on how I can clean and disinfect this? Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.
Can someone tell me some tips for dwarf hamsters?
We received a 1 yr old hamster about 1 week ago, and he was very active. He got out of his cage one night and now sleeps a lot. He does not run like he used to when in his ball, and does not run between his cages like he did before (we have 2 cages connected).
My son has a female hamster. Her cage smells so bad eventhough I clean it frequently. It smells after the first 24 hours. Any ideas?

Hamsters are small, prolific rodents that are similar biologically to mice. They are easy to distinguish from Gerbils by their lack of tails.

My son's pet hamster loved to be in his hamster ball, but it was hard to open and close. It broke easily, was expensive, and was small enough...
Is Vinegar Harmful to Hamsters?
When cleaning my hamster's cage I used Distilled White Vinegar to remove the urnie stains. It wasn't all dry when I returned my hammie to the cage and she managed to lick some up. Is this harmful for her or not?
Saving Money on Litter For Small Animals
If you're like me, you want the best for your pets. Since conventional pine and cedar litters are not good for the health of your hamster, gerbil, mouse, rat, etc etc, I use Carefresh, which is a recycled wood pulp paste (or something like that). Well that is EXPENSIVE.
Hamster Cage Cleaning Made Easier
Litter train your little critter and you'll cut down on the number of cage cleanings required. To get the little fella trained, just put a little clumping scent-free kittty litter into each corner.
