*decides that this topic could do with a bit of piracy* YA HARR! *the pirate crew raid Horatio's Hammie stables (luxury) and Hammie cab store* You shall be handing over the goods and the Hamsters me good Celestial Hamster! *takes the Phoenix for the ride of his life* *steals all the goods and the Hamsters anyway and locks Horatio in the solid oak trunk* *chews a big hole in the tasty oak trunk* *only to find hisself in a Titanium, 1000ft thick Particle accelerator *starts Photon generator and drills hole in Particle accelerator*

yeah, ur lucky. LOL My decisions run along these lines... do I want to run in my wheel, eat sunflower seeds, eat peanuts, sleep..... hard decisions like this. yeah...hampsters have it REALLY tough! (note the sarcasm) although, if you didnt have your compuer, i bet life would be pretty boring...like being locked in your room with only bare essentials...id prob. go crazy! need to travel...se dogs...read books...etc., etc., etc. Lots and lots of books. Always love the violin and my coloring books, crayons and play art tools.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! You all did outstanding!!! thank u so much! while we were out, some students made a BIG poster that said congrats and had all of our names on it! it was so cool and its still hanging in the hall... Nice! That has to make you feel soooooooo good!

Are you sure the two little guys are getting along? You can feed them some cheese, raw carrots, raw broccoli, ham, turkey, chicken. They will store their food, get in their wheel with their little pouches stuffedd and some will drop out while they are in the wheel. Find some different types of hammie food. Do NOT buy any food from Wal Mart as it is usually moldy and can kill your pets. Tomorrow, I will give you the names of some of the food that my two little blueberries love. The two are getting less and less aggressive with each other, more tolerant and patient. They are improving, more than I expected. I feed thems a Hamster food mix with seeds and... wheat or something. and seeds. They seem to like it. I get this from PetCo. Now just out of curiosity, Will it be good if I were to fill their food bowl with wheat? We have plenty of wheat in storage that we can give them, if that'll work... Hammies love other things besides the Hamster food. As I suggested, go into the refrigerator and get some cheese (real cheese, not velveeta), some raw veggies, such as peppers, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, or RAW peanuts in the shell. You can find a bag of raw peanuts in the grocery store for about $2 to $3. They love these and are a great source of protein and fat. If you have ham, chicken, plain meat (no seasonings) a couple of small pieces of meat are another wonderful treat/food. There are some ideas for you. Whatever you put in the cage, the next day, look in the cage and remove the old stuff. If you do not make the pieces too big, you will find they eat it all. would Sharp Cheddar cheese work? American cheese? I've tried getting some lettuce and baby carrots for them, and they arent interested in that... They do seem to like the black oil Sunflower Seeds that we have for the birds outside... I have deli scliced ham, turkey and bolagna, would these work? The Sharp Cheddar is the best. American is okay, but I would read the label. No Velveeta or processed fake cheese. Swiss is okay any kind of real cheese, not cheese from your pizza though. As for meats, I give mine turkey pieces, ham, roast beef, but no bologna or highly processed meats such as sausage or anything with spices. Small pieces. How about a piece of raw broccoli? If the carrots are cooked, they probably do not like them Also, a small piece of carrot instead of one inch long piece of carrot. Start with a piece the size of a pencil eraser. Not too many of the sunflower seeds. How about a couple raisins? I will think of everything I give all my hammie friends and let you know. Peppers are a big favor. A very small few pieces. Remember to check their droppings to verify they are not getting too much watery food. This can lead to wet tail. Let me keep thinking on this.

If you are trying to keep them from putting the seeds in the wheel at night, then you need to put the seeds in their cage in the morning and just before you go to bed, remove the seeds from the wheel. I have one hammy friend that was stuffing her wheel and then trying to run all night long and she eventually got over it. That was on her own. I changed her food, I tried everything to no avail. Good luck. Try feeding them in the morning and see if that helps. This will allow them the day to hide their food. I would also change the treat and give them raw peanuts. If they are not sure what to do with them, just break open the shell so that they know they have to chew throught the shell to get to the good stuff. If you buy the raw peanuts at the grocery store, they may be a bit less expensive then the pet store. You just have to compare the prices.

Hey, I see you and the others, but where in Bananaland am I? Your the Hammy on deh ground. I'm not a hamster! than exactly where did this qoute come from? I was talking to Horatio. He never did answer me... But I wasn't the one talking about "my orthodontist". That was someone else. I know that! You said something about your dentist... *runs off to research what I said*

Yo, Mega Wolfie... how was your holiday? I have missed your toothy grin! Did you, the sanities and my decoy sanity, have a good time? We are glad to see you have returned.

You are soooooooooo smart!

However you are not practicing flowermancy? *spreads the favorite flower of the Phoenix around, enticing TGHL to land and smell the roses* Do you know my favourite flower? Of course, and don't ask me. I will not show you I am correct. You could tell me the only place in the world where it is grown. My lips are sealed.

My cage. Lovely. You don't seem too happy about it... Would you prefer it if Horatio went: "Ooh I am staying in my cage for the summer with excusions to the toilet, bed and wheel every day! OOH I am just so happy I will dance around in circles spreading flowers of no real species around my cage now to demonstrate my happiness! *dances round cage*" ? OOH, I love it! *tosses flowers around cage* I am practicing aromatherapy.

Glad to see you figured out your new name!!! I also just figured out your old name! Horatio, you are so smart. I thought it was obvious enough... Not until you said it was personal. That is when I started thinking....

[i can do that.]

I read everyone's sig! I like your lists... especially the books. And no, I do not want to win the Flea Award. I like reading people's siggies... I can notice the smallest change. Well mostly. I will put you in charge of monitoring sigs for me.

I remember the song...... "How much is that doggie in the window?" You did a great job singing.
