Welcome

Welcome to Dashing Hamsters. I created this website back in 2005, initially to have a place to share my love of hamsters. Throughout the years I have come across a lot of information that just often doesn't match up. Care standards and information are outdated, and these little creatures are misunderstood by many. So I decided to make this website as more than just a hamster lover's website, but a hamster website for modern owners who are looking for up to date advice on how to care for and understand their beloved hamsters. On DH you can learn about hamsters, see some cute pictures and read through a hamster filled blog.

Rest Peacefully Boys



Posted Image
Yesterday I found both Billy and Vimy gone. They passed quickly, and had been acting completely normal and healthy before. They were snuggled together, they passed in their sleep together. They seemed so healthy and happy, they were out playing just yesterday. There were no signs of illness, no change in behaviour, nothing. They would have been two months old today.
They were both such sweethearts, I was smitten with them ever since I met them. They were kissy, silly, and sweet. I wish I could have known them for longer and I wish I knew why they passed.

They were such wonderful hamsters and I am so thankful that my friend, Mika, brought them into my life.

Rest peacefully Vimy and Billy.

    Oh, I am so sorry to hear this! RIP little hammies. I'm sure they had a good time with you. Was it the diabetes?

    Thank you everyone.

    Tina: I only tested them once and they had no concerning results and never showed any signs of diabetes. What I initially thought was excessive drinking when they first came home turned out to be a broken water bottle issue that was quickly resolved. I have no idea how they passed I'm afraid.

    Both at the same time? That is SUPER strange in my opinion.... R.I.P little buddies. I'm so sorry for you. :(

    Thank you all for your kind words.

    Aimee: I agree, it is very strange that both passed together at such a young age while seeming to be perfectly healthy. But I have yet to find an explanation for it, I've had my room checked for mold and nothing was every sprayed in or even near my room. It could have been the food I suppose, but I might never know.
