hi guys, this is my daughter Clavicular and once a week she wakes up from her day nap and looks at me like this until i give her a piece of watermelon. i love her

Today is Tribbie’s birthday!!!!!!! She turns 1 today!!!

(edit)
Thank you everyone for saying happy birthday!!! I will make sure Tribbie has an amazing birthday!!

Our sweet boy Teddy crossed the rainbow bridge today. He made it to 3 and a half years old. He was such a gorgeous little lad, he'll be missed. My daughter did this amazing picture of him crossing the rainbow bridge to be with his brother's cookie and Simba. They all came together from the same pet shop. They'll all be together again tonight. Sweet dreams little dude we'll miss you always xxxxxx

my little grandpa is one years old today. I made him hamster safe pancakes and gave him a little carrot. he’s the best thing that has ever happened to me and I’ll forever cherish and love my little ball of fur. everyone say happy birthday banjo!!

Worst pain i felt in a while, had him for almost 3 years, i knew he was old and getting ready to cross over, its just so weird how pets can go from fine to not in days, ill never expect it, my little aegon passed away i believe yesterday morning or the late night before, gonna bury him in his favorite bedding and treats today. ❤️ Rest in peace little egg

Ever since i came out of the clinic and my mental health improved, it helped me take better care of her!

I got her a new and better house to sleep in, new stuff and threw the old ones out!

I also gave her sprays, after thinking she doesnt love them, but it seems she loves specific ones! (Like in the picture)

I reaally love my hammy.

I also made her a boredom breaker for her and SHE LOVED IT.

I had so mich anxiety over so much stuff, that i wasnt the best hammy mom, but im better now!

She loves her new setup and she utilizes her new house soo good!

I dont have to destroy her nest anymore! She does her business on the other part of the home now yay.

I wanted to try coco fiber too soon, when my paycheck comes

購入してまだ1ヶ月でした。

元々ペットショップでSALEになっていたこの子は生後5ヶ月で大きくなってましたが、皮膚疾患を患っていて真菌持ちでした。更に獣医師によると肺が悪くなっていたそうです。1週間前から急に体調が悪くなり、病院も4回行きましたがなす術もなく今朝亡くなりました。

もっとあなたと一緒にいたかったよ。
小さい、小さい私の可愛い子。

先ほどプランター葬を済ませました。

大好きだったブロッコリーとひまわりの種。お気に入りのいちごウエハースを一緒に持たせて、末期の水(日本ではご遺体の口元に筆で水を塗り、天国で水に困らないようにする儀式です)をしました。

プランターに植えるのは日々草にしました。
花言葉は楽しい思い出。
お水をあげる度にちびちゃんとの楽しい記憶を引き出せるように。

苦しくて苦しくてここに気持ちを吐き出させてもらった。

皆さんは悔いのないように沢山自分のハムスター達を愛してください。

Well of course, must be a cat 🐹

i work with the smalls at the animal shelter i volunteer at, and we usually have guinea pigs and rabbits, which i’ve gotten a hang of. However we received a hamster the other day and i suspect we are about to get another one. I think they may be in for a longer stay because when people adopt a pet it’s usually a larger animal, as they usually just opt to buy something like a hamster for 25 bucks at a petsmart, which is really sad. i’d like to make his quality of life as good as possible. at the moment he doesn’t have a wheel, which i know is an essential item. the ones we have in storage that have been donated are either too big or too small. there isn’t anything i can do about his tank size for now but i tried to clutter up his tank as much as possible today. are there any essentials i need? how do i make it more enriching? i just need advice and a list of stuff i can potentially buy from my own pocket because i truly feel awful for the little guy. thanks for reading!

My sweet boy passed today. He was acting completely fine around 8am, then started to be wobbly and lethargic around 12pm. Within a few hours, his condition worsened and he let go. He’s buried at my childhood home where he lived before I moved out. He can play with my late twin gerbils, Jekyll and Hyde.
His birthday was December 5th, which is Krampusnacht.
(By the way, a “Hamper” is a hamster. When we first got him, he scampered around his enclosure like he was on crack. My mother called it ‘Hampering’ because he was a Hamster that was scampering.”

Edit: Thank you all for the wonderful pictures. My mother decided to send me a very emotional text as well. It reads: “He's under the crepe myrtle outside my room. I told him he was back home and can rest now.”

hi guys! so ik that hammys storing their food is completely normal but is it normal for my lil guy to be stashing literally all of it? like im talking i give him new food and it’s all entirely gone by the next morning, also because of this, how do i know when to give him new food? and do i need to clean out his stashes every once in a while? any advice would be appreciated as im a new first time hamster owner!

The top one is a female named Shimba.
The white one male named Chotu.
The golden one female is named Goldy.
The bottom one is male named Labrador.

Slowly but surely it’s starting to come together. I ordered some more things that are coming on Thursday, (wood, foraging stuff, sprays, multi chamber, coco fiber, etc) I wanna say there’s 8 inches of bedding, and I bought aspen shavings for more bedding! Once all her things come I’m gonna rearrange a bit.

I made him a final nest to lay him down in with all his favorite things- I even managed to fit one of his favorite hides. Then when he was tucked in we went for a long drive to one of my favorite camping spots. There was a pretty tree that had these huge roots and when I saw it I thought ‘a hammy would love to play and burrow in that’- So now it’s yours buddy. A whole tree just for you. With the prettiest river spot. Every-time I visit I can sit by the river and know you are somewhere nearby. I miss you every single day. Nothing would have ever prepared me for losing you, but im happy I got the privilege to say goodbye. And that I got to be your hammy momma and spoil you in every single way you deserved. You will always be my heart hammy. I love you to the moon back. And you so dearly missed my poor sweet Sifu:(

Hope the Hamster really has a thing for her flax seed sprays!

He is so tolerant 🩷

These enclosures are both connected. My hamster is a Syrian and is four month old male. The bedding is 12 inches. And he has a large sand bath as you can see. A 12 inch wheel. And a bedding made of meadow grass hay,paper bedding and aspen shavings. He has 9 hideouts and I have added more since taking these photos. He is running on his wheel every day. I’ve also added more clutter. Cardboard tubs and fake log. He has been burrowing well. And loves his rock hideout that’s beside his wheel. These photos are a bit outdated but with the description it’ll do. Let me know what you think? Be nice.

I have had quite a rough week with some personal issues and then found out that Mochi's cancer had grown and spread was the most painful part of the week. She was doing alright this morning but something felt off. I decided to go straight home. When I got home, she was screaming and looking around. I picked her up and cuddled her in my t-shirt where she unfortunately passed away.

I had gotten Mochi from a bad situation. She was labeled as shy and probably wouldn't ever like people. Her mother was abandoned on the side of the road and was luckily found by an animal rescue. Mochi was born with skin issues where her fur would easily fall out. Due to her health issues, I was nervous.. especially after my boy Buttons passed from a tumor. However, she spoke to me and it was the best choice I have made. She was my sweet girl but was extremely sassy. She enjoyed chewing on sticks snd carrying them around. She also enjoyed solving and creating issues around her cage. She was the only hamster that never nipped at me. She would gently take treats and slowly eat them. I feel lost in a way thinking id see her second birthday with her. I cannot believe she is actually gone.
