Just the word "rodent" can send shivers up some people's spines.  But to us, rodent means fun, fast, funny and fluffy.  You may have already heard your children ask for a hamster - possibly about a hundred times!  So which little critter will fit perfectly into your family?

Does your gerbil or other rodent have a bloody nose?  Or is your gerbil or hamster losing fur around his nose?  Then your little critter might have an allergy to the bedding you are using.  Remove your current bedding and replace it with Carefresh, which is highly recommended by Strongpets.  It is hypoallergenic and easy on a hamster or gerbil's system.

Here is a helpful way to get him back.  Get a bucket that is about 1 foot high and place it in the middle of the room.  Place bedding in the bottom, and sprinkle food on top of the bedding.  Take a board and place it on the bucket like a ramp.  Sprinkle seed at the top of the ramp, with a little bit going down like a trail.  Make sure your cats and dogs are contained during the night, and turn the light off where the bucket is.  With a little bit of luck, during the night your hamster or gerbil will go up the ramp, eat the seed and jump right in for more.  In the morning, take a peek and hopefully your little guy will be staring right back up at you!
