I am so glad that she is doing fine. That is a wonderful sign.

Aww thank goodness she's got a home with you, she's so beautiful and unique.

She is doing really well. I also saw that online about adding in some baby food. I also have critical care that I can give but right now she is doing great on the oxbow wet down. I will add some stuff in eventually. I have been giving her slightly warmed up yogurt drops (only 2 so far - I don't like giving it too often) as little treats and she does well with that too. Whatever life span she does have - I want her to enjoy it. I am watching for worsening symptoms like seizures and neurological things but she appears great for now. I am hoping she does well too because of course I am already attached. And I have had one like her before that lived to be about 7 months so I know she may not live as long as I would like. I will definitely keep posting updates and pics as long as I have her.

Aww! I've fallen in love with her! She's such a determined little girl and those pics made my heart melt.

What lovely photos. I am so thrilled that she is doing well. I have totally fallen in love with her as well. She is such a cutie pie!

She really is the most adorable little girl, so glad she's doing well so far.

Eek!! How cute is she!!! So glad she is doing well and seems to be thriving. Hopefully she will live to a right old age with all the care and knowledge you have and are giving. All the extra supplements will definately help. Baby food is a great idea. What about adding beaphar vitamins to her water?

Adding vitamins to water is honestly not effective.More often than not it ends up making a hamster not want to drink.Powdered vitamins are much better and can be mixed in baby food and they don't tend to deter hamsters that way

However,mushed high quality pellets(Science Selective ideally)would have the necessary vitamins/minerals,so supplements of vitamins and minerals could actually get to an overdosed level and then cause serious health problems.

I stand corrected

I have used in the past and never had any probs with hams not drinking but that's just mine not all hamsters. But as you say if they are getting all the necessary vitamins and minerals from food then it's prob not necessary. Science selective is a good choice mushed up. I have recently ordered a bag.
