I'll pick her up and she doesn't seem distressed - no fighting, no unhappy ears, just staring like this. Sometimes if my hair brushes against her, she gets all still like this too, even if I pick her up. And when I put her in her cage, she acts normal again... :s

a very healthy boy

Got him yesterday 🥹

Also, he is kind enough to only pee in his sand bath. What you can't see is that he only poops in that house.

I saw a bunch of photoshoots online of people carving pumpkins and taking photos of their hamsters in them so I tried today with my babies (rip coco I wish I'd have done this while she was with us 💔) and I'd say they came out really cute although Moo Moo was more interested in cuddling me

Safety stuff!
If you do this fully dry out the pumpkin I scooped mine, patted it dry then baked it on a low heat for a while so it would be completely dry
This is fun for you and for your hams as they can eat the pumpkin but make sure they only eat a bit so they don't upset their stomachs and make sure all openings they can climb out of are at least 2 inches wide
Otherwise have fun with this idea and taking Halloween photos with your babies 💜

She loves tomato and I’m worried about giving her too much.

She’s an 8 week old Syrian and I’ve had her for about 9 days. I gave her 1/3 of a tomato and she ate all of it.

I have a dwarf hamster and she's in a giant bin enclosure with 12 inches of bedding, a 12 inch silent spinner, and an entire 24 pack of toilet paper tubes, along with 4 other hides and tunnels. I buy her niteangel dwarf hamster food and treats. I also have a platform for her wheel that has a hide underneath and I'm adding an enrichment bin.

She tries to climb everything in her enclosure. She doesn't try to escape her enclosure or scale the walls, she just seems obsessed with the act of climbing anything that can be climbed. She loves climbing her wheel (she climbs up the back where it connects to the stand) and I can't seem to discourage her. When she gets to the top, she sits and cleans herself and sometimes even eats or takes a nap. It's like she's finished climbing a mountain and is rewarding herself or something.

When I take her out for tub time, she climbs me like a tree and sits on my chest or shoulder like she's conquered me. She tries to climb my head and seems insulted I won't let her. Then she starts looking for new unconquered things. She's behind my hand trying to climb my phone rn.

This hamster has all of the space and all of the places to play. We're even getting her a playpen, like a huge one, just so that she'll have even more. And all I can think is, does anyone else have a hamster that doesn't understand that hamsters aren't supposed to climb because then they fall? Because that's what I'm worried about here. I love her so much and she doesn't seem to realise that her daredevilish antics might hurt her.

we had to get some pictures for the vet of the thing in his ear so enjoy my liquid son looking stupid as always :3

His name is Cipek.

her name is Shtuchka. means “thingy” in my language. wasn’t my choice - I adopted her and I don’t like changing names already given to pets xd

Such a good boyy 💕💕

Whenever ham comes out for food I always tell him how good he is 🥹🥹

Hi,I picked up my new girl today from the breeder. She is a winter white. I have never seen one with her coloring, she is so pretty.

Hammy was sick for a few days 😭
❤️‍🩹 Today he is finally stuffing up his cheeks as usual 🥹 little old man is a strong survivor 🙏🙏

It's been almost 4 months since he passed away, he was 2y6mo when he passed.
I miss him a lot again today, but positively. The first month was rough, I cried because life was rough and he wasn't there anymore. He was very special to me, I brought him along after finally cutting my toxic family off and moved out last year. He was one of the straws I grasped on and pushed myself forward because I couldn't leave him behind.
Today, I just finished my exams in school, my career path looks good, I wish he was there to see! A bit silly but I still say byebye to him everytime I leave my home, I have a picture of him up.
Bibi loved dried peas, flax and millet, I think he knows his name as he often comes over when I call him, he liked being held and rubbed, he often curls up and sleeps, leaving a little dent in his bedding even though he could go into hides he enjoyed being out.
Love you lots Bibi🤍
Pictured is him sleeping sweetly and being curious:)

I'm attempting to make a 3d printable memorial sculpture of a Syrian Hamster for a co-worker's Granddaughter and am having difficulty with finding good source images. I'll be sculpting, printing, and giving it to her free of charge as this is just a hobby of mine. I'll also make the model freely available online once completed.

That said, the pictures available to me aren't the greatest and with what I've found online I still sort of bounce between mine looking like a rat, cat, and a French Bulldog.

If anyone has or is willing to take some photos of their Syrian Hamster that I can use for reference, it would be greatly appreciated. If possible, photos taken at eye-level with the hamster from the front and side along with one from the top would be ideal but I certainly won't turn my nose to others.

Hello!

If anyone is in the seattle region and knows where I can find a hamster that looks like this, please lmk! I believe it is a longhair teddy bear hamster! I'm looking for one with same facial structure, colors can be a little different but relatively the same.
