Bobby - 2007-06-28 My golden hamster, Doby is three months old and is very adorable! He loves to run in his cage wheel and loves to run in his ball. He also loves to scare my mom!!!
Samantha - 2007-06-23 I had two boy teddy bear hamsters named Salt and Pepper. I got them when they were only 10 weeks old. I loved them with all my heart and cleaned their cage every week. Pepper and Salt were 2 1/2 years old when one day Pepper was just randomly dead =[. They have known each other since birth so I know they didn't fight. So Salt and I were devastated but we still had each other. After a while Salt started losing his hair, it didn't matter to me, he was still perfect. Then he was getting less and less active, to where I rarely saw him awake. A little while after that, I was holding him and realized my poor Salt had gone blind. Even then, I cared for him just like I always had. It was 9 months after Pepper's death, and Salt had just turned 3 the month before. I kissed and hugged him goodnight, like normal, at about 9 at night. I slept silently then woke to my cat at about 11:30pm. I could feel my cat had something furry, I couldn't quite tell what. I figured it was a stuffed animal, but what worried my was, why would she wake me up for that? She set the thing down at the end of my bed while I was walking to turn on my light. I turned around and broke out in tears to see my Salt, laying on my bed with two gaping teeth marks in his back. He was bleeding horribly and suffering for air. I tried putting medicine on it and hoped and prayed that just maybe, he would pull through. I sat on my bed and held him with a blanket, it didn't take long to realize I was slowly losing him. I cried and talked to him, for what seemed like forever. I told him he would see his brother soon, and he would not be blind and he would grow his beautiful coat back out, and his terrible wounds would heal. He just layed there, gasping for air. I prayed, "God please don't make him suffer any longer, take him now and let him get better, let him see his brother," I prayed, "Cuddle them both close to you like they were special." Right as I said that he just stopped. Everything. He wasn't gasping or trying to move or anything. I weeped by his dead body for hours, but at the same time I wanted to feel happy. Now he can see how wonderful heaven is, he is now reunited with his brother. He's not suffering. He was all that was on my mind for weeks on end. I was too miserable to hardly look at my rabbits anymore, they were the same colors and breeds of both Salt and Pepper. It has now been exactly 45 days since this happened. And just today I got a dwarf hamster. I wouldn't give Nutmeg, Salt and Pepper's cage. No, the cage and bowl sits where I can remember it, and Nutmeg get's a brand-new cage. With 3 cats, 1 dog, 2 rabbits, 1 horse, 1 hermit crab, 2 pigs, 1 mouse, and now a dwarf hamster, I hadn't used up much of my love for small furry creatures yet. I did hesitate, but finally decided to get another hamster, but of a different breed. Then came Nutmeg and even though I have only had her for one day, I know I will love her with all my heart (Along with all the others) But she will never replace my Salt and Pepper.
ChristieRaye - 2007-06-15 I have one teddy bear hamster named Hammy and he is so smart! I got him a year ago when I knew nothing about hamsters. I learned in that time that hamsters are great pets for anyone, and that you really need to assemble your hamster's cage well or he will ecscape!
Tiki-kola - 2007-06-14 I had two hamsters, Chestnut and Daisy. I loved them because they were so cute, cuddly, and adorable. Then one day I realized that both of them were sick. The next day I was going to take them to the vet, but on the way there Chestnut died. When I went in the waiting room, Daisy got very hyperactive and about 5 minutes later she collapsed. I was so devastated. R.I.P CHESTNUT AND DAISY!
Carly - 2007-06-12 hamsters are so weird. my hamster Dusty crawled through this crack in our couch that led nowhere, or so we thought. she got into the bottom of the couch where we couldn't get her. we had to tip the couch and cut a hole to get her out. the whole time i was so scared that i almost cried. I figured out that wherever hamsters can fit their head, their bodies can get into, too. now my hamster keeps trying to get into that hole again.
Louise - 2007-06-11 I have read that a girl "bathes" her hamster in the sink. You should never do this as hamsters are fully able to wash themselves and a hamster can become really ill if they come in to connect with water!
Nicola and Katrina - 2007-06-09 Me and my twin both love our dwarf hamsters very much. We each have favourite ones. Sometimes they fight but other than that they are very cute and friendly. Sometimes they bite but thats if they feel threatened. i sometimes want to know why they fight and wonder if we have too many in one cage. They are faster and smaller than normal hamsters, and they shouldnt be fed fruit and veggies everyday =]
BRITTANY - 2007-06-05 i went to clean out my two hamsters cage today and found the one, ken, dead. so i did some research trying to find out what happened. i figured it out. barbie was a teddy bear hamster and ken was a black bear hamster. they cant live together. teddy bear hamsters get solitary. putting the two together can lead to serious fighting or even death, and thats what happened. : [ barbie killed ken, evil little booger. so dont put black bear hamsters with teddy bear hamsters, one might get hurt or even die. dont make the same mistake i did.
Kelly Marler - 2007-06-01 I recomend you take hamsters to the vet. The Vet: cuts nails, gives shots, cuts over grown teeth, checks for and gets rid of - lice, mites, fleas, etc.
Claudia - 2007-05-28 hi my name is claudia, i have one siberian hamster. her name is lucy and she is about a year and four months old. i love her so much. i got her when one day my dad came home and said he got me something. he took me to the car and i saw her. she was about 8 weeks old and had light brown with some white fur. i am so grateful to have her, she is so interesting. sometimes when im asleep i hear her playing on her exercise wheel or sometimes i hear her nibbling on her hide out vitamin ball. its really cute but sometimes it scares me. hopefully everyone who doesnt have a hamster can be introduced to our small furry friends. love claudia
If you provide your Hamster with a wheel, it will run up to 8 miles per night!
