Just adopted 2 Roborovski hamsters~ about 4 months old. They really can run fast! And very active too. They try very hard to wriggle free from the hand grip. SO it'll be a challenge to play with them, unlike those WW and other species.

Hi all.... I'm wondering, is there any lubricants that can help on the running wheels? It's really making a lot of noise. The effect is even worst when it is at night..

Oh babyoil~ maybe i should try that... since i dont have Vaseline also.
How about the other kind of lubricant? Err.... 'those' kind? Save to use also ?

I just came back from a movie and found the smaller robos sibling of the 2, had a bad scratch on its back. Red scratches and when I took it up to touch it, the patch were rough. I think the blood clot dried. I think they had a bad fight.

Now, how can I help it? Can apply any antiseptic (got such thing?) ? Where can I buy it? Now I really need to separate them both. Gonna be expensive. Another water bottle. Another running wheel. ANother bathing sand box.

It was weird. I frequently see them sleeping side by side. So sweet. And they can ended up in a bloody fight. My 2 robos siblings are about 5 months old.

My hamster got the same thing as yours. It was the result of a fight. The skin was scratched, then got infected with puss. Hardened skin and darkened. I didn't manage to take it to the Vet and it died a few days later.
