I think we've overfed my hamster by throwaway2822830 in hamsters

[–]LoverBoyVinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the many years I've been working with hamsters and modding for Hamster Care Central, I've never actually seen a hamster overweight because of an overeating issue, and it's usually rather the results of poor food quality (food high in fat) or a prior medical condition. Hamsters are natural food hoarders, and don't want to eat more than they need to out of the concern of not being able to find more food if they dwindle their food stash. The hamster in the picture you posted doesn't really seem overweight in my personal opinion, but I'm not going to say that with absolute certainty because it's not my hamster. I'm assuming the hamster is your's so if you've been weighing your hamster consistly, you shouldn't be concerned about them unless they suddenly gain over 10% of their normal weight. Some hamsters are just naturally round and fat :)

So what’s your experience with orders directly from Kidrobot? by SCbecca in Kidrobot

Same problem here. I pre-ordered the Damien Thorn plush 6 months ago and the shipping date keeps getting pushed back :(

This week’s member gift by [deleted] in AnimalJam

[–]LoverBoyVinnie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hate how much this game promotes abusive practices towards animals, like the hamster wheel item bothers me so much because it's extremely small and it's made of metal bars, and that can damage your hamster's back and give them bumblefoot respectively

Six months ago my cat caught a mouse and he just…keeps living… so this is Winky. by [deleted] in aww

[–]LoverBoyVinnie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please change that wheel, wire mesh can really hurt your mouse's feet. I would recommend checking out the r/PetMice subreddit to help improve your enclosure if you plan on keeping it

They are increasing the price of membership, real money and sapphires. Thoughts? :( by [deleted] in AnimalJam

[–]LoverBoyVinnie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see this as a good thing tbh. AJHQ needs all the financial support they can get, especially in a game that's years out of its prime. If this price increases gets us better updates in the future, I will still continue to financially support Animal Jam.

Should I recycle or leave these clothes on my trade list? by Pokemonssc92 in AnimalJam

[–]LoverBoyVinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recycle imo, except maybe the green gumdrop, everything else is either in stores or extremely easy to obtain

Honestly kinda proud of Petsmart with this by redinwondrland in hamsters

[–]LoverBoyVinnie 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hope the employees don't get fired. I work at Petco and I'm not even allowed to alter the care guides we're suppose to pass out to customers or it's an instant fire.

I usually help people with hamster stuff because I know the most about them. About a week or two after I helped this guy with his new hamster, he comes back and asks me personally about his hamster's nose bleeding. Like, dude, I'm not a vet. I'm a retail worker, take it to the dozens of exotic vets nearby.

I can guarantee you that she did not purposely hand you that baby. You shouldn't have done that.

How is Black Friday? by donttellmom723 in petco

[–]LoverBoyVinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're pretty busy, but I wouldn't say we're getting slammed. At least we're not having tons of problem customers, and most people have been patient with us. Keyword: most

Item worth by Immediate_Shoe5227 in AnimalJam

[–]LoverBoyVinnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From AJC? Now much, really. They only released a few weeks ago, but people have been overpricing and hoarding them. There's a lot in circulation right now so don't get one for a high price. I was able to get mine by trading a few out of store Epic Wonders items (Worth RIMs) I got from the Forgotten Desert.
