Today my brouther was trying to get him out of his cage but he kept on moving around the cage. I had to get him out and give him to my brouther then when I went to put something away he jumped and bounced off the cage and landed in my brothers hands. Then he tried again but he landed on the bed. I don't think Mr. Fuzzykins likes my brother.I was very shocked.

You need to be very careful and not let hamsters fall Sparkles as they can be badly injured. It is best to put the cage on the floor or bed before taking him out and make sure your brother sits down and holds him low over a surface so if he does jump he will not have far to fall.
Hi Souffle,
Thanks for the good advice. This is sparkles Mom. I was soo glad to see my advice mirrored here, even though sparkles brother should have known better as he is quite a bit older.
Good advice can never be repeated often enough when it comes to our small pets!
I think that he is going to do pocket pets 101 again!

Please tell your mom I am glad to hear she considers our little friends so important. Perhaps she would like to join us on the forum herelf I am Pophammy's mom!
Thank you for the invite, I am trying to let sparkles have a bit of fun on her own (sigh). But I do try to supervise a little. Sparkles doesn't mind if I use her spot every once in a while. Mr. Fuzzykins is her baby alone.
Mr. Fuzzykins is not our only pocket pet but he is our first hamster. We also have 13 rats. All girls, just pets, no breeding. I am quite addicted to the little critters.
Im am very sad to say when I was away my littel hamster mr fuzzkens died. So the person that was taking care of him got me a girl and I named her miss sparkles fuzzkens.
I am Pophammy's mom!
Please post pictures! I'd like to see your hammies.
