Louie Zong, Fredo Disco, and Just Roll With It

Not an 'it'
Nonhuman animals are already widely considered worthless besides how they benefit us, so please try not to use language that further objectifies them. They/them is a good alternative if you're unsure what pronouns to use :) The hamster I referenced is actually a hairless who was surrendered to a s...

Anyone from this area?
Hey, just a repost of a hamster rescues instagram. I'd hope no one here would be/know of a backyard breeder and specifically in this tiny town, but it's always worth a shot- if you're from Goldthorpe, do you know anything about someone who would be dumping mass amounts of sick rodents? I've follow...

Poor guys
Really wishing I could take these robos in. I have that new cage ready to go besides a lid and I have a bin that could be used until I could get another Xmas bin- but as always, there's a near certainty of vet bills and I'm not set up for two more individual funds :/ And of course the risk of them n...

Please take oxbows hamster/gerbil diet survey and repost
Oxbow has a new survey, like the one they did regarding the backlash after unveiling their horrific cage. This time they're asking for your thoughts on their hamster/gerbil pellets: Survey :) Incase anyone needs a refresher, either* of oxbows pellets are completely unsuitable. The fat/protein perc...

Working on a cage for a dwarf
This melamine cage used to be for another animal who unfortunately ed away in September. It's 8 sq feet/1,150 sq inches and 12" tall, which isn't that great for a Syrian imo- hopefully a dwarf will be happy though. I still need to add more to the vet fund before I'm ready to rescue another dw...

Anyone in Canada know where I can order this?
It's Brown's Tropical Carnival Natural, not the Encore or regular versions. I use it as part of my mix, and my local shop has been out even though they said they ordered it :/ Amazon doesn't seem to be selling it anymore and when they did it was overpriced anyways. Searching through little sites, so...

Update on Samsung
Yesterday his stomach didn't feel quite as hard, and today it feels soft and normal! Slightly big for him but not that weird. We did get to the vets and they were able to get a good feel, and I did too- there was nothing abnormal :) The vets best guess is that maybe he had trouble ing something,...

Samsung will be going to see the vet
Worried for my old boy. It doesn't show on the photos since he's longhair, but his belly isn't normal. It feels bloated and isn't squishy/indented like I'd expect from a thinner, elderly hamster. I got my mom to feel for a second opinion and she pointed out that it also feels a bit larger on the rig...

Little haul
Went to the vets yesterday, not for Samsung, but I did pick up some goodies. Also went to Ikea for the first time. I didn't get to linger or browse around and wasn't there for a detolf, so not much to report. Sorry about the awful photos, should've just held them all
