Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

My hamsters smell funny!
I was changing the substrate from my teddy bear hamster's tanks and when I picked up Peanut and Butter they both smelled rather bad.
The substrate wasn't that dirty so I don't think that's it. My question is: "Can you bath a hamster?' I know that you can't bath a ferret persay and that instead you have to dust it. SHould I dust my hamsters, and if I do with what should I dust? Baby powder?
thanks

Well, I dont know if its a good idea, but it is VERY possible! Back when I had my hampster, she decided to get herself stuck in the wheel overnight (it was one of those habitrail ones that attach outside the cage, she had somehow flipped over the entrance so she could not get out) and was covered in "her own mess" we just gave her a little bath in shallow warm water, and used cat shampoo. she was fine, and smelled great after! just make sure to dry her off well because being so tiny they can get chilled quite easily.

Thanks for the reply!
Actually I find if I feed them cucumber and celery it helps to ease the stench...
I think they are just musking or something strange...
who knows they're old farts anything could be going on with them
