[QUOTE="SHBailey, post: 1986304, member: 89387"] Sounds like Broly had some good reasons for losing weight, and will probably get back to normal now that he's eating lots again. Puff is still not good about eating veggies, but he does occasionally eat some squash and a few greens, and definitely gets enough crickets.. Puff has a new UVB too. We put it in a month or so ago. We dust his bugs with calcium, and we've never had a problem with MBD. Apparently he has good genes as far as that's concerned, so one less thing to worry about. I guess Broly was just unlucky that way, but he is lucky he's got you to take care of him. The vet thinks Puff may be getting a little arthritis, but not enough to be a problem yet. To be expected at his age. I suppose you don't need heat lamps for hamsters, especially since they're nocturnal, but I imagine there's an optimum room temperature for them, probably whatever is comfortable for humans. My little gerbil did well at room temperature, but wasn't unto running in his wheel -- he used it for an upstairs bathroom. He was 2 years old when I got him -- someone else didn't want him anymore, and he lived for 2 more years with me. I understand that's a respectable age for a gerbil. Our snake Squirmles was 15 years old when he died, and I was 60, so my husband pointed out that I had him for 1/4 of my life. That's as long as I've ever had any of my critters, cats and dogs included. I thought he was going to outlive Puff even though Puff was younger, especially since Puff has adenovirus and corn snakes can live to be more than 20. But that's not the way it happened. I think Squirmles may have been inbred and had some genetic time bombs. Breeders like to do a "double het" cross by breeding siblings. Then they get a whole bunch of fancy colors and something for everybody, but it's really not good breeding practice. Puff has been staying out of his hide for a while but went in it yesterday. We never know if he'll stay "upstairs" on his basking platform, but at least he seems to be getting enough heat and light. [/QUOTE]
