WTH? They should just give up already and toss it! Is this a particular shop or ??

Guys, I'm not a hamster fan, but one time at Petco when my sister got a new hammy, I saw this absolutely gorgeous merle hamster!! Heart Eyes

If only because of his color--which I know is a shallow reason Laughing

--I wanted him. I wanted him so bad. Sadly, I could not get him.
The picture doesn't do his gorgeous coloring justice, but here's a picture of him in the igloo eating, and looking like he wants to fall asleep while doing so: In Love

I wanted to name him Scallywag. girl_sigh

It's Amazon Warehouse Deals. It's like $2 more for brand new, so not much of a deal! lol

@Blessed, I once stalked a hamster I named SmeeSquee. I visited him every day for a week, saw him Thursday, went to get him on Friday and he was gone. I was so disappointed I teared up on the way back to the car. Then my husband found Rosie. No SmeeSquee, but she's pretty cool too! Scallywag is a cute name. Smile

Lol.
Awe, a day late. =P I'm positive that merle hamster is gone, though. It's been long enough.

Here's some old pictures of my Danny Boy: Kiss

I thought I'd share an updated picture of Graham. She has a vet visit in a few days! Good news, though, there's no infections so far. I'll make her her own thread after the visit but she's a cutie, so I need to share. Isn't she adorable?

by **Peachy** on Tue 06 Feb 2018, 11:49 pm

Graham is super cute. I hope the vet will have some helpful advice. Smile

Thank you so much, Rodents rock! That means a lot to me. Hearts

River, yes, Graham is so cute! =D I saw the cut on the back of her neck...goodness!, so, is it really still bleeding?

by River on Wed 07 Feb 2018, 1:04 pm

Thank you! As for if it's still bleeding, I can only say sometimes. She left it alone for a few days and then decided she absolutely hates it. Scratches the scabs off sometimes but I stop her when I notice and clean it up. It was bleeding last night. Nothing heavy, but for a mouse, that's a big cut!

by Blessed on Wed 07 Feb 2018, 3:48 pm

I know what you mean; it is a good size! Shocked

When I got Natalie, there were large rats (that store sells feeder rats and mice) in a tank fighting. They were brutal! At least two of them had bloody wounds on their back. Sad

I wanted to rescue them, but am not allowed to have rats.

Edit: As I was talking about it to my dad, there was a worker just standing nearby, holding a bird. . .

Good news! Appointment was bumped up to 10:30 AM tomorrow morning. This vet is close and reasonably priced ($53 for an appointment) so I'm excited to see how they care for her.

A family owned bird store popped up not but 10 minutes away from me. It's walking distance, actually. Looks like Gacy will be getting lots of new toys and a harness! He had the cutest lovebirds and cockatiels all around and was very educated. They have a grooming station to clip nails, so we'll be getting use out of it.

Here's the lady, less than enthused about my bird trips:

I lost another of my lady mice last night. My female colonies are almost small enough to keep together now, which has been a goal for like three years. But if I want to keep both of my neutered boys in a colony I have to keep on maintaining two. I didn't think about that! I don't know what to do. They can each have their own colony at the moment, but in the future my options will be keeping a couple extra ladies for one, or suddenly keeping one by himself. Hmm. Thinking

I tried to get a vet wrap sweater on Graham today...didnt work! You cannot slip something on these mice at all, she just climbed right out. It was stressful for both of us so I just gave up, cuddled her, and added a new toy instead. I wonder how people do it! Maybe I'll try some leg holes tomorrow...

by Rodents rock! on Sun 11 Feb 2018, 10:14 am

Graham sure is a pretty girl. I hope she will leave the cut alone long enough for it to heal.

by Rodents rock! on Sun 11 Feb 2018, 10:17 am

Peachy, so sorry you lost another girl last night. Hugs.
