If it does turn out to be wet-tail, I have foundit helpful to mix the meds, I used dri-tail as well, in with a smallamount of soy milk and feed them through a syringe. It is a kind ofincentive for them to drink.
I was thinking though that you probably would not see as much wet,matted furon his...

I know I work ata pet store but I stillcompletely agree, our store is not the greatest because very rarely,only once a day, do the buns get out for a good run. But at least wegive them hay and have decent cages, and patrons are not allowed totouch them forchance they may be carrying something...
The average life span for a hamster is 1000 daysto the best of my knowledge. If he is getting to two years he's old butI have one nearing four, oldest I have ever heard of though. When theystart getting cranky, trying to bite, and just not themselves it isusually a sign that they are sick. The...

Not to get involved, but I have noticed thatthere is a lot of complaining done between people, about informationand posts. It may not be may place to say so but I think that whenpeople start they are not being lazy but are simply not sure yetexactly how things are supposed to be done. When I...

I also heard that Blue Seal is good.....I'm not sure, my rabbit hasbeen on Martin's since I got him but I want to make sure that he is ona good food.
I had the same problem with a bunny at the petstore this summer, we used a bit of kitten shampoo, warm water and adamp cloth. I also found by adding a bit of oatmeal to their pellets ithelps to deter it from reappearing!
