i feel sorry for your button..
your hammy sure looks healthy, what do u gave her?
is that an aquarium glass tank? it sure looks nice, i'm so jealous with u..

hey all.

I was feeding my hamster today & I spotted what looked like "hardened semen" to me attached to my hamster's erm.. "private part".

Have u guys seen this before? & is it normal?

My hamster lives alone actually. As his partner passed away some time ago.

yeah i think it is normal.. I saw b4, i tink is your hamster masterbating.. hahaha

It happen to my hamster also because last time i saw my hammy he was licking his private part and it become very big and reddish color until the hardened semen come out..

Nah, the dead of her mark the end of my hamster hobby
Wanna concentrate on exotic pets, dun wanna commit into hamster le cause once they die i ll feel damm sad

Before this i keep her in a really small carrier cage for few months before realize that they need bigger tank...
I used to keep her in a wrong way until i found lyn hamster thread and slowly upgrading her lifestyle with bigger tank, bigger wheel, better food and so on...
If u mean food im feeding her prestige

uh okay...i just take her pups which is left alone in the house to the ground floor(using spoon because i dont want leave any scent to the pups).surprisingly,she scoop up that pups and fed the pups as usual..now i already take the cage to the most quiet place in my home..i hope i can get 3 new healthy hamster.wish me luck guys

i wonder if there is a special threat for hamster owners to show off their cage. facebook maybe?

oh wow. now that's interesting.
hm.. is my hamster trying to tell me that he needs a partner?
pity that fella

no need to worry so much. its called natural for animals come to their mating season. they will become quite horny and active during that time will come normal after that.

anyone willing to point to me where to buy prestige or harry?

hahaha.. no worries la.. Hamster can live alone as long as u spend more time with them is more than enough..
Both my ww hamster are alone in their cage.. I thought of getting a partner also, but i scared later they tend to fight again..

Hamster tumor update:

Today's the 8th visit to the vet, 10 days after the surgery to remove the tumor from the right cheek.

She's getting very itchy fingers/paws, and had scratched off all the scabs. Quite a big scare there, as the peeling off of the scab like that caused some bleeding as well, but the surgery wound is already closed. Just some raw skin exposed still where the scab was scratched off.

The newer lump under the chin that had been slowly growing in size after the surgery shrunk down too, which is an indication that its filled with puss rather than being a new growth. Needless to say, there's another wound over there after she had scratched off the scab there too, but the puss had drained out.

All that was done at the vet today was just basic cleanup of the wound, of which we'll continue to do on our on on a daily basis till the skin there has healed properly.

She's started eating solid foods again, but will continue to provide the nutrie smoothie mix. Mixing in some sugar glider protein supplement into the food as well to help her gain weight again.

My rat have undergo a tumor surgery too few months ago, which vet did u went to?
Glad to see it getting better

Anw, pic of my dead Button
Warning: Graphic images


Really sad to see her dying in such horrible way
I tried everything i could to save her, bringing her to vets frequently
Last time i plan to make taxidermy after she died because she have very unique color (Not a solid cinamon in case u wandering) but she's almost bald when she died

We went over to the Pusat Perubatan Veterinar Small Animals, over at Bandar Puteri Puchong, next to Mailboxes

i dun think the wheel should be in the cage when the hammy is having babies, as there are risks of hurting them...
wat happened to Buttons?? may she RIP.....
