Msgboard Chatroom Marathon
Sunday, January 27, 2002 by Elfkura | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Honestly, I would go to IRC for this kind of stuff, but if any of you have been there recently, everyone seems to be...inactive. Sooooooooo, out of boredom, I'm turning a thread among this msgboard into a chat room, anyone care to join? =P.
It's Sunday night, and I'm bored out of my mind. There's much to do, but I'm too lazy to get around to do it. My boyfriend is busying trying to get Visual Studios to work so I can't talk to him on the phone....and we can't seem to talk over the phone anyways...it'll just be silence mostly.
New Semester started........so anyone alive out there to join Elffie in this chat marathon? =P
Let's try not to let this post hang for over 2 hours, hm? =P

Yes, she is now in a different cage. I bought her a three story hamster Condo. It is made of wire, and has two ladders (to get to the different floors) an exterior water bottle, a plastic wheel (which I'm sure will be chewed up before the end of the week) and a cute little house for her to hide in. She seems to like it. Hopefully she won't get out of this one!

does it have a hinged lid somewhere?
our hampsters used to have wire cages with holes in the roof about big enough to get your hand through. this was hinged at one end, and held close with a spring on the hinge.
quite safe we thought, since the roof is well out of the reach of the hampster.
however, what hammy used to do was climb up one side of the cage, and then walk across the roof. this was done by hanging on with her teeth and front paws, with the rest of her hanging straight down.
once on the roof she would work across to where the door was, and push at it. by pushing at the end farthest from the spring she was quite capable of opening it enough to climb out onto the top of the cage.
it was ages before we discovered this was how hammy was getting out.
sometimes while cleaning out her cage we would place her in a square bin with some food. this was smooth plastic with right angled corners. she was quite capable of climbing out of this, by getting into the corner and pushing off the two sides. we wouldnt have thought it was possible until we saw it
never underestimate a hampsters ability to get out and about
Doreen, as for toilet training, have you tried those small bonio dog biscuits? they are about the same length as an average hampster. ours used to love them. however whenever we gave them a new one, they used to prop it up in one corner of the cage and then pee all over it.
thought two: if hammy is prone to making a mess only when you get her out of her cage to handle her, then she is probably just very frightened. one of my hampsters was like that, he used to produce an amazing amount off poo when ever i got him out. however, with regular (daily) exposure, and me being very kind and gentle with hammy he got used to me, and the problem went away.

feline: possibly, depending on one's point of view
Fuzzy: fluffy is certainly safe with me. I try to protect cute fuzzy little animals as much as possible. Unfortunately, I have this snake...

Cheese is good...but I'm allergic to dairy 
Fluffy's condo has two trap door on them, both of which latch shut and have also been secured with three twisty ties. (don't ask...)

why ask? twisty ties are a sensible precaution. the only question is can fluffy chew through them with time? best to keep an eye out for that posibility.

hampsters can certainly chew though twistie ties. Better watch out!
As for fluffy, I would never feed my snake a hampster. Way too cute. I feed him little white mice. They are cute too, but...ah well, the circle of life and all that.

(that's what I made my boys wear while I was training my hamster)
when she got tired of hurting her teeth she just stopped, now everyone can pick her up
Happy to hear you found your Fluffy Java!

I have an in-law suite (more like a condo attached to the house) that my parents live in. Seems like Fluffy found herself a nice little corner between a dresser and the wall to make a home in. She was stock piling pieces of dog food. She was found at about midnight (not to my mother's delight) as she was frolicking in their bedroom. She really didn't want to get caught, and we had to chase her all over the room, but we finally got her! Yay! My daughter is pretty happy now!
