How do I post a picture of Why Not? First of all, you need to find some webspace to host the picture. Photobucket.com, Picturetrail.com, tinypic.com, are all options as well as several others I imagine. Or, if you have your own website, you can always upload the picture there. Once you have the picture uploaded to a picture server of choice, all you need to do is put the "url" of the picture between here: [*img]*picture url goes here*[/img*] (remove asterisks) and your picture will show. Hope you can figure it out, we'd love to see!

If you have doubts, don't feed it.
I did not make up the list.
Any fruit called "ugli" I would never touch! ;D

It's also known as Uniq Fruit, and it's tasty. The exterior skin is just kinda strange--thicker than a grapefruit's and creased.

My hamster was running in his ball one day when my big brother came up and KICKED the ball! Ever since then, my little Scamper has seemed traumatized.

Hi llamaniac,
I replied to your question on another forum and have pasted it below as well.
<Poor hamster! I hope you gave your brother a talking-to! You're going to have to give your hamster time to recover from the trauma. How long? I have no idea. But no more ball action, regardless of whether your brother's around or not. The poor fellow doesn't need the stress of returning to the site of the trauma. Treat your ham well; avoid anything (loud noises, jerky movements on your part, handling him roughly) that will upset him more. Hopefully with time he'll be back to his prior self. Good luck!>

I guess I will put this here so hamster owners can go here to find out information.
My friend thinks her hamster (Fluffy) has wet tail. She says he's not playing much as he used to and is only going downstairs when he eats or is going to the bathroom. What are the signs of wet tail and is dry tail good?
I told my friend if Fluffy does have it to take him to the vet immediatly. Fluffy is a syrian, very much looking like Chewie. Thanks all!

Wet Tail is noticeable by very obvious diarrhea and eyes that get more and more dull and sunken from dehydration. It is serious diarrhea.
DryTail, available in pet stores, if administered correctly can help, but the antibiotics in it are weak compared to Baytil or Chlor-Palm. It is best to see a vet and get the stronger stuff.
Be careful in administering any drug by syringe or eye dropper! never force liquid down a throat as it can cause drowning. Just drip it into the mouth. Follow instructions.
