| with baby rabbits that have lost their mothers, if you used a warm damp flannel and rubbed there downstairs parts with it and it would stimulate them to wee. might be worth shot. if not, vets im afraid. |

| well i got him out to flannel him and he'd had a little wee in his corner and he did a little bit more on the flannel. i had thought about putting him on some kitchen roll but he'll probably rip it up and use it as bedding! you can tell with the substrate he's got when he's wee'd, plus he's good in that he always uses the same corner. |

| I've had hamsters and still got my little dude left. However I've never had one that didn't wee :( Glad he finally did a wee for you! I've had all types of problems with my hammies. Abscess over an eye and last year I had to take Pippin to have his leg removed after he started to chew it of (Not pleasant!) Perhaps just keep and eye on him :) |

Tell me about it! Pippin & his brother Merry are roborovski hamsters so incredibly tiny! When I took Pippin to have it amputated I wasn't sure he would make it, but the vet was extremly confident!! He did make it, but sadly passed away about a month ago almost 9 months after the operation. Not really sure why as he was still under 2! Cost me about £80 for the op and a further £30 for antibiotics, but I'd do anything for any of my animals! |
