My daughter has three hamsters in one cage....one bit the other one on the side...it was huge....blood everywhere and looked like it had been shot on the side....so I took surgical glue and stuck it back together....so far so good..... :worried: I'm waiting for it to keel over...but this has been since Sunday.........
 
Please don't take this the wrong way Hammy....but it is a freaking 5.00 Hamster...I would take you to the dr. if ya needed it....Klue might think your worth more then 5.00

Well....it is still alive..... LOL

In your defense, vets can be very expensive.

A few years back, my mom had x-rays done for a guinea pig that was kinda part of the family... I think it cost a couple hundred dollars. On top of it all, they can't really do much even when they find out if something is wrong.



:cow:
 
Just so you guys don't panic lol I did call the vet and they told me what to watch for...I really didn't have much of a choice since it was about the size of a dime which on a hamster is pretty big....and you could see the muscle and everything....my kids were crying and paniced.....so I just kinda glued him back together with EMT glue which is made for animals

I used to breed teddy bear hamsters in my basement when I was 15 or 16 (surprisingly good profeit at that age). I never saw a wound like that... must be all the inbreeding the breeders do, lol.

I never knew there was such thing as EMT glue for animals, interesting.

It is used for dogs and horses while hunting....so if something was to happen out in the field and you can't get back right away....emergency kind of thing...the vet said since they are getting older and all female it is hormone related and they become territorial over things....but it was pretty darn big

That kinda thing could be really useful -- I'm glad I know about it now, lol.

When I was breeding little hammies, I kept the females seperate from the male. That probably explains why I never saw that kind of fighting. Although I did see a stressed female eat one of her babies. She just picked it up and chomped into it head first. Pretty necro. Bitch (or whatever term is used for a female hamster) just ate four dollars I coulda had!!

It was an interesting experience.



:cow:
 
LOL we had that happen with our first two...they told us they were two males...well came out in the kitchen the night we got them and they were "doing it"...so we had babies but the mom ate 3 of them......ewwwwwwww. So we have one boy and three girls right now and 4 flipping cages lol
 
so heres a hypothetical question
sayyyy someone wanted to add a few inches to a rodents penis
would it hold it together?

that Surgical glue is good stuff.....I did a bit of QA work on that some time ago
 
I see no problem with that. Surgical glue is wonderful stuff and spending a fortune at the vet on a hamster is an indication of someone having serious issues.
 
GymGurl, can't say I blame ya, on one level it doesn't seem fair that a visit for a great dane would cost the same as for a parakeet, you know. That glue sounds like pretty good stuff, where'd ya get it??? I could have used it on one of my cats ears not too long ago.

In another life, my ex and I bred hamsters too (evil little furballs), the dwarf russian variety. Adorable, but a mean one is a mean one and they'll cannabalize in a heartbeat ... well, that's true of most rodents, really, but hamsters can just be vicious to each other -- and daddy hamsters have serious issues.

I never had any of those problems with rats. At worst, daddy rats are indifferent, but mostly the males were gentle and nearly as attentive as mommy rats. I never had rats go totally mid-evil on each other out of the blue the way hamsters would. Never had a rat mom cannabalize, ever.
