Hi, I am the proud owner of a male syrian hamster who I love very much. I find cleaning after him and taming him fairly manageable. However, I am very intrigued by guinea pigs and I was just wondering- is it that much more difficult than hamster ownership? I understand that the space...

Hiya, I’m Alex. Mummy adopted me just over a year ago. I love mummy cuddles, mostly climbing all over her. I think her ponytail is the cosiest spot, but mummy doesn’t think so? I sleep in the weirdest, most cosy positions. But, most importantly, I am a complete stud muffin and absolutely...

Hi! I know this is a guinea pig forum, but I really need support. Today I went to check on my hamster (Billy) and found him dead! I just can’t help thinking that I should of done more to help him.

I'm a new hammy owner and I've been reading up on what fruits, veggies, seeds and nuts are safe for thier consumption. However, I read on one website that "feeding seeds that are packaged for humans can lead to health problems like obesity and diabetes in hamsters, because additives such as salt...

How many pets do you think get labelled as ‘Problem’ animals just because people don’t understand them? This idea came to me, because my very traumatised and human fearing hamster, bit me for the first time today. She didn’t mean it maliciously, she didn’t even break the skin, all she was...

Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone knows of cheap (but good) guinea pig (and/or hamster) accessories websites. Ive used zooplus and petplanet, but are there any others that people recommend. Ideally looking for the smaller (less obvious) places, so not eBay... Amazon... etc. I would also...

I wanted to post this here because the hamstercentral forum is so dead now, seems to only be the same 3 (judgemental, and snooty, might I add) members on there constantly. It was so active when I first started keeping hamsters 2 years ago but now it's not even worth posting there anymore and...

I feel just absolutely terrible, Everything just seems to be bad at the moment :( I really feel like a failure with my animals. I've been working for months with Daenerys my hamster to get her used to Me, she's so shy and gets very upset when anything changes, this includes adding anything new...

I noticed tonight while spot cleaning the cages that Igor my winter white dwarf is holding his back leg a little funny? I've got video of it Not sure if other people can see. He's holding it up a little bit and isn't really putting it down to walk But he does place it on the floor sometimes and...

I know a lot of people on here have 'Animal rooms' Me included. I have two hamsters, and my Guinea Pig Girls in a C and c cage in my own animal room, But I've recently learned on a hamster forum that Hamsters should be kept in dark rooms away from windows and such because they need it dark in...

Hi guys! As per usual I've got a dilemma, My Syrian Hamster Daenerys has managed to cause some serious damage to her cage, She's in a detolf cage which is an ikea glass cabinet with the door removed turned on its side for a tank style cage, it's got wood on both ends with glass. This is...
