Is she Going to Die Soon?

Caught her when she was sleeping :) cute right..ya, her favourite toy : Tissues...

She woke by my camera's flashes..


Running away from my flashes...
She was really sick today..one of her ear was bleeding.. flesh blood.. imagine that..I don't want to do a closeup of the wound as she was running around and i don't want to grab her for any photo to make her more tense...

Was on company in-house workshop for the past two days. Didn't really read the news or do much stuff after work.

Was shocked to notice that 'Bui', my dwarf hamie's ear was bleeding! Carefully, we cleaned her ear with saline (as we do not know what to do at that late hour. Doubt any VET in UAE will entertain a sick hamster at this hour).. I suspected she scratched herself too hard and it bleed.. She has been dropping alot of fur lately..and she's not as active as before. Active as in very excited when she see food..always running on the wheel inside the cage..

Is she going to die soon? Afterall, her other mate had died on 1st May 2009! We reckon she is going to leave us soon too... *Sobz****

I was surfing through the net for remedy on her bleeding ear. Read that dwarf hamster life span ranged from 1.5 - 4 years. Mostly 2 years, if she is more than 2 years it mean we took very good care of her. I'm consoled to read this as these 2 girls (one who died) had been with me for almost 3 & 1/2 years. They were given by a friend whose hamsters gave birth to alot of babies and she need to give away desperately before the mother eat the babies. Yes, that's a way of protecting their babies. Worst of all, u know how fast hamsters/mice populate!! Mother with son, father with daughters or whatever..So if you ever intend to keep a pair of hamsters, and you have no intention to have more in near future, please do not buy one of each opposite sex. Mean : buy both of the same gender, 2 males or 2 females.
