Its amazing how different each hamsters personality can be. Marshmallow likes things very perfect and is very clean and tedious about how things are placed. Waffle cares to an extent while Strudel doesn't care at all!! I will clean Strudels cage and then she will proceed to pee in a spot and then lie down and sleep in it..... ew. Because of this I ( Read more... )

So I'm now to this community and I love hamsters but my old one George Bush (yeah I named my hamster that) died recently so I got a new one, Trixie.
I've had hamsters ever since I was in the second grade and they've all been very comfortable with me but I'm noticing that Trixie is really intimidated. She's my first female hamster so maybe that's ( Read more... )

Ok, so this question is for those who have owned both males and females.  A member of the Petco forum told me that she has heard that females have the heat cycle every 3 days and that this makes them more temperamental then males.  I have been told this before, but my source was from someone I never really believed in anything she said (since it ( Read more... )

Hiiiiiiiiii! My name is Freya and I am a first-time owner of a Teddy Bear hamster. I've had Russian Dwarfs before, but decided to get Cloud, my Teddy, after I saw him pawing at me from an aquarium at Petco.

When first bought Cloud was, well, aggressive. He wouldn't let you touch him, feed him, or even less change his cage around. I though that ( Read more... )

You may find this post silly/stupid, I'm aware of that, but please consider that I'm really worried and worry makes us do crazy things.

So I'm madly worried about my little hamster(Roborovski hamster). I've had him since 24th December, I suppose he is 5 months now and this morning I found him trying to bury himself in sand, this is not an usual ( Read more... )
