Here we see His Lordship Sir Bartholomew da 1st, Professor of Hamstery enjoying 1/2 of a fresh new Whimzees dogchew!

Apparently, got a little frustrated with my filming him again }

So, as everyone can clearly see, Lord Bartholomew is doing quite well in his 76qt bin, after my concerns over discovering a bag of moldy Dwarf Hamster Formula, which was thrown out! Worried it might be Aspergillis Fungus. Everything was washed down, and fresh substrate, a few days ago.

He is looking as well as ever! His bin is clean and smells fine.

Excellent news. Strangely after your scare, I found something mouldy as well. I had a coconut topped cardboard hay house partly buried under the substrate. It's white on top, being coconut but I noticed the other night that the white topping seemed deeper. It had gone mouldy - Charlie's water bottle had emptied itself last week, soaked the top of the coconut hay house and I've been leaving a small heater on at night near the cage - so it had a growth of white mould on it. I took it out and also had to remove all the surrounding substrate which smelled mouldy too. Charlie was not pleased at me doing this! He got cross and batted me away with his paw when I went to pick him up. He was fine by last night though.

So there you go, accidental experiment. Soak the top of some food stuff with water and leave it next to a radiator for a few days and grow a load of mould - urgh.

Oh my gosh! Lord Bartholomew reminds me of my little Heckle (RIP) See below. Except Lord Bartholomew has those very cool stripes of white on his face.
Glad the mold situation has been fixed. These things happen, just like Serendipity says.
