Re: Emptying Cheeks
I wrapped dwarf Romy in a flannel and held her with her back on my palm then tilted her slightly backwards.I administered the antibiotic slowly from the syringe into the corner of her mouth.
Dwarf Gertie i hold the same way minus the flannel for a nail trim and the Robos.
Syrian Rodney's nails need a trim but he's not having any of it. He has always been a very wriggly and impatient hamster. I keep snips nearby and when he holds on to the bars i manage to snip the odd nail. Sometimes i keep him waiting till he gets annoyed and chews the bars so i can snip a nail.
Never met a hamster who would sit on my hand to take meds. Your Pearl was either an exception or you have an exceptional way with hamsters.
