Rodents

Hi. I am confused abt how much and and how mant times a day i should feed my hamsters? And my hamsters were acting weired and suspicious today does one of them was severly biting the other one and climbing on him does it mean that they are fight or being aggresive and how do they fight?

I might get a Guenia Pig. I have owned one before, but that was when I was little, and the Guinea Pig was evil. It also squeaked every minute of its life. Here are my questions:
1. If I got a Guinea Pig, would it squeak all the live long day?
2. Would a 20 gallon aquarium be big enough for 1 guinea pig?
3. How much are Guinea Pigs from a shelter or from Petco?
4. Names requested.
Thans for all of your help! I know all about the care and stuff.

Well... I just got my first guinea pig and everyone say you should pick it up. I'm not exactly sure how to pick it up so I can't. I really want to make really great friends with my guinea pig, Rocky, but I just can't seem to.

I got him two days ago, but I can't manage to pet him. I move my hand slowly towards him and gently talk to him, but he just leaps and runs when I hardly touch him.

Are all guinea pigs that way?

I also bought him an Igloo Hut and he likes to run around it...?

Kay I just thought that since I just had a guinea pig die of liver failure I should warn others that dont know this. Do NOT use pine shavings for ANY rodent!! The pine has a special chemical in it that makes the rodent waste smell less and this is what causes liver failure in rodents. I have found a new bedding from Care Fresh. It does come in a smaller bag and is alot more expensive, but If you want to have your small furry friend for a full happy life, you may want to consider what you've just read.

Need Help Desperately!
I have 2 male rats. Brothers, they are aproximately 5 months old and are both fab! HOWEVER. . one of them (Frankie-Fuzz) wees everytime you get him out of the cage.
If he touches your skin - he wees.
If he touches plastic - he wees.
He is not timid therefore he is not weeing from fear.
The other rat (Sir Rufus)does not do this and is a joy to handle...It would be nice to handle Frankie but it is a major turn off when you keep getting wee'd on!
HELP!!!!
What can i do to stop this...anyone know "Why" he does this OR "How" to make it stop??
Cheers Rat Fanzzz ;-)

My little princess Kalya gets lonely when I'm gone. She a 7 month old fancy rat. Is she too old to make friends with other rats? I know rats are territorial and will fight other rats as they get older. Is she young enough to be able to get along with other rats? She was raised with other rats till about 3 months ago.

I think my two female rats I bought from Petco are pregnant. So I will be keeping one of them in the big cage I have now and I need another for the other one. Cuz I read that you shouldnt keep to pregnant females in one cage or they will fight over the babies and hurt them on accident. But the cage I just bought was so expensive and I dont wanna buy another one because I need to be saving the money for when the babies come here. I was thinking of making a big one. Does anyone know of a good site that sells big cages for cheap or shows you how to make big cages? I live in Glendale,AZ by the way. Thanks everyone. Oh yah by the way why I want a big cage is because I want my rats to have a nice home. I hate when people cramp their rats in small cages, its sad. Thanks

He and his daughter (She's about three weeks old.) both seem very lethargic, and they are both cold. If i hold them in my hand, they simply sit there as if seeking warmth instead of sniffing around or moving like usual. I havent seen them eat in a day, except the father had a few bites on a piece of corn. Could they be sick? Should I take them to a vet? Can they make me sick?
