[QUOTE="SHBailey, post: 1988813, member: 89387"] Surprise! We finally got this thing working so I get an email when you post something. Do hamsters ever hibernate when it gets cold? I guess arthritis would be expected at Puff's age, but he doesn't have a really bad case of it, at least not yet. He's about 10 years old now. He's also getting a curve in his spine, and the vet thinks he may have some pinched nerves and maybe some pain. We were thinking about giving him ibuprofen, but it turned out that his liver function isn't great, so we need to avoid medication unless absolutely necessary. I just hope he's not hurting too much. Lately he's been going "downstairs" and hanging out in his water dish. That worries me because I'm afraid he'll get too cold. Sometimes we fish him out of there and put him back "upstairs" on his basking platform, because he usually doesn't crawl back up the ramp on his own. It's probably getting really hard for him to go uphill. He's not able to move around very well anymore -- seems to really struggle when he tries. Getting decrepit. When I lived in Long Beach, ants were definitely a thing. One morning I spaced and left some food out, and when I got home from work there were ants all over the apartment. I got one of those foggers, and after I read all the cautions on the label I was afraid to use it. Meanwhile, once I cleaned up the food, the ants disappeared so I didn't have to. Natural remedies like mint and neem are a much better idea anyway. I didn't know about those things back then. It's slowly getting warmer here and the snow and ice have started to melt. This has actually been an early spring for us, but we're not out of the woods just yet. Sometimes when it gets "warm" early in the season, we get a huge snow dump sometime in April or even in early May. We'll see... [/QUOTE]
