Thread: Small Animals

Introducing the smallest member of my family..

Syrup (Hamster).




Does anyone else have any small animals that they wish to share?

Cute!!!! I have a pug, does she count as being small? We call her our "small friend."

I have no idea how to attach photos, apparently the only images I can put must be from the internet...

Kay, trying from photobucket... it doesn't seem to want to work... :/

I use Photo Bucket - Upload the pic from your PC to that then it gives you an IMG code that you can just copy and paste to forums ect..

I dont have a camera to get pics of my lot on here

I have 2 bunnies - Sydnee and Angel.
2 hamsters - Dexter (syrian) and Zeke (winter white)
3 gerbils - Oscar, Dante and Jakey.
And 7 mice - Lexi, Luna, Piper, Mila, Baylyn, Taya and Kaizen.

Can I just ask what cage your hammy is in? Coz it looks like the mini duna and that is far too small for a syrian Not having a go or anything but I'm a bit of an animal rights nut and want the best for all small furries!
Minimum cage size for a syrian is 80 x 50 x 50cm with at least an 8" wheel (they need a large wheel to avoid getting back problems from bending when running on a wheel that's too small)
Like I say I'm not having a go or anything, just want the best for hammy that's all.

Hey thought i'd replied - Syrup hasn't really got the ideal cage deffinitly should have selected better but he spends very little time actually in his cage as she comes out lots to play and seems rather happy - He doesn't have the wheel in as refused to use it even as a baby and got her paws trapped in the top of the cage when using the upper part..

I'm a bit concerned by other cages though they seem like too far for him to fall from?

He doesn't appear very well tonight so registered him at a vet and will take him in tomorrow providing I can get an appt. His still eating though so possibly just the heat - Had a fan running for the last 3 days for him! Think he may be slightly dehydrated? Eyes not as bright, fur feels sweaty too the touch?

Somehow Last Night Syrup managed to push her lid up but not off - it stayed secured..

2am this morning I feel something on my face - put the light on looked across to the cage it looked secure but I deffinitly felt something looked beside me and there she was!!

Really not sure how she managed to climb up on to the bed!

Awww syrup is the spitting image of my lil ziggy, my gorgeous Syrian. I have one hamster; ziggy, two guinea pigs; jerry and mo, and two gerbils; simm and barrowman. There used to be a third gerbil; tennant, but unfortunately he's gone to the pet shop in heaven.
Will upload piccies when I get a chance

really cute - i have 2 crested geckos - equally cute, and very small!

Syrup is identical to my little hamster Gus! I also have 2 mice klaus and roger and not forgetting the 3 fish paul, barry and dinky! and pauls 15 baby fish (paul turned out to be a girl) :-)

aww so cute I have rats I have 2 4 month old boys Moshi and Iggle , and in 3 weeks I pick up 2 pedigree babies , who I havent named yet ( this time we are choosing and not the kids !!) I loves them
Moshi and Piggle -






and the new babies - no names yet -

Aww Minty, Little Paula!

Determinator your rats look lovely, are they fast?

they are lovely , they are not fast as in running off , they are boys and they are much more chilled and less 'pingy ' than girls , they get really big and prefer snuggling to running around !!!

I grew up with bunnies and guinea pigs, so I really love pets of the tiny persuasion. I wish I could have one or two, but my cat thinks he's a mighty hunter, so it wouldn't go over well.
