I recently acquired a 6 week old albino female hhog named Dizzy, and have had my female Izzie for over 4 years. Izzie is a grump (I suspect she was not held regularly before I got her) but she warms up to me on some days with the right ritual. I wonder if it would ever be possible and safe to...

6. 2 Dwarf hamsters (RCD) one male, one female, NOT a breeding pair 2 chinchillas, both female 1 hedgehog, female 1 pug dog, male (mine, but lives with my parents)

For anyone who is interested, I went to the vet and got 3 products to use on Pappy. The first is an oral immune blend "AA OL". She takes .15 ml twice a day. The second is an oral "Itraconazole" or "Sporanox" at .25 ml once a day. The topical is a spray: Vital-VS topical spray, that I can use...

Thanks everyone for the help so far. We're putting the cream on her nose and foot twice a day, but it's still spreading. It seems to be slowing down, at least. So tomorrow we are off to the vet. They are an exotic vet and I love them a lot with the work they've done previously with my hamsters...

thanks everyone. The fungus (if that's it) is sure moving fast. Her poor nose and foot. I bought the cream and applied a little, but could not find the powder except spray powder.. should I spray some of that in her bath house and let her roll in that? She's all super angry at us because she...

Ok. I'll have to pick that up tomorrow. She should be kept in her cage, right? I'd hate to risk spreading it (I have other pets, too).

Pappy has developed 2 patches (that I can tell so far, she hates being held and inspected). The larger of the 2 is on her back left leg. It's pink on top and no fur on the foot at all. It appears smooth. Her toes also look a bit pink, as well. It must have cropped up in a day or 2, as we've been...

Thanks guys. I think the peeing (at least for Minuit) out of the litter pan is a reaction to knowing the other chin in there. It's only been 2 weeks, so maybe they will settle down and just accept the presence of the other.. but the getting peed on by Pappy took me by surprise! And I guess I...

Hi guys :) I've had Minuit for a while (female, 2.5 years old) and I recently adopted Paprika (calling her Pappy, female, 5 years old) from a rescue. At first it seemed like they didn't mind each other, but during intros and neutral play times, they started to spar. Minuit, the one I've had...

It is.. :) Interesting. Thank you for your input :)

Thanks guys :) I know it was a rather dumb question. I'll move the plate to the fridge instead of the freezer.

I'm worried that I've gone and done a dumb thing, I put the extra cooling plate I have for Minuit in the freezer. Luckily, the AC has worked, until today..... The thing is very cold, but there is a layer of ice on it. If I offer it to Minuit, could she get wet? Sorry if this is a stupid...

Hey :) I'm glad you signed up! I've learned so much on this forum but have only been on for about a month! Most of the info I relayed to you came from here. I hope you enjoy it! I have so far~

Great advice all! I shall investigate to see if I can locate the 2 missing connectors. If not, I'm glad to know there are options. My fiance is the one who will be doing all of this, in July, so perhaps I asked this thread too early. But I shall print out the responses and save them.

Thanks guys. I had issues getting inside the hollow perimeter bars. I pulled a nasty beetle out of one... Thinking about using pipe cleaners or something to get in there. As for the rust, it's actually not all that bad. The screws are the worst, but the bars and such are all pretty good...

Thank you, it was helpful. Good tip about not being able to fall all the way down. Would it be possible for me to construct a middle ledge out of wood that is pretty large?

Hello friends, I recently acquired an older Double Ferret nation (142, I think) from craigslist. It was used for ferrets and I had to really wash the thing. Anyhoodles, I have some questions about being able to use it for my Chin. We've thoroughly washed and towel dried all the pieces, but...

I might get flack from this, but I don't think that much will satisfy their want to get out other than... being let out. Is there not a time, a 15 minute window in which you can take a break from studying, and let him play? It might help you also with your finals, to relax, have fun, then...
