Postpartum greasy/soggy fur on my hamster Maggie, should I be worried?

Hello hamster lovers!

So here is my hamster Maggie, a cutie who has been with me since April. She had babies (I already separated them after they weaned, a week or so ago), and ever since she gave birth she's had this weird postpartum "condition" where her fur looks soggy (see the images) for some reason.

She has a sandbath that is always cleaned and sifted through regularly, and it's been with her since the day she stepped foot (or paw? XD) in her 120cm x 70cm enclosure.

Is this a cause for concern? She doesn't look or act lethargic at all, she eats a lot (no fatshaming!), and she's as affectionate as ever. She seems very healthy to me, aside from a little dip in weight and her.. "bad hair day".

Has anyone else's hamster gone through this after raising a litter? Any advice is appreciated!

(Update on Maggie & Mitosis/Jesus)

After finding the hamster that materielized out of nowhere, I took them both to the vet, it was such a stressful time for em (see second image.. poor Jesus was held from the back of his neck, I kept questioning the vet but he said it's normal and it doesn't hurt Jesus). Maggie unloaded her entire pouchful of food on the vet's palm mid-examination, and while the vet was examining Jesus' genitals Jesus kept pooping and peeing on him making it hard for the vet to tell anything XD

But, eventually, we found out that Jesus is indeed her hidden child, and.. JESUS IS A MALE! :(

which is very bad, means I gotta seperate them the MOMENT Jesus no longer is relying on MomMaggie's milk, which is in two weeks or so, the doc told me. He said I can't seperate them yet, only when Jesus is no longer relying on Maggie's milk.

Vet also said Jesus has a mild cold, and he prescribed antibiotics for him.

But, they're in good condition! Mild cold aside.

A NEW HAMSTER **MATERIALIZED ITSELF**

Maggie (my hamster from my old posts) was happy, healthy, and normally living alone (in a luxarious hamster home, 25 cm inches bedding of aspen woodshaving and paper, 120cm x 70cm enclosure, lotta hides, 11inch niteabgel silentspinner wheel) for 1 month or so. She never had any sexual relations with any male hamsters since I took her in. She lives alone. I saw no baby bump ever before and I have MANY pictures of her with NO BABY BUMP!

But now, a new hamster MITOSIS'ed itself into existence because WHAT IN THE FLAXSEEDS IS GOING ON HERE. WHAT DO I DO??!! VICTORIA RAECHEL NEVER TALKED ABOUT MITOSIS!

Hello, fellow dragon slayers!

I kid you not, I have been searching left and right all over this sub, filling out forums and infiltrating DMs (when given consent, of course) for a group to accept me for WEEKS! Weeks, I tell you! I have been accepted into only one group that plays 2-3 hours on Sunday & Friday, and that's not \*nearly\* enough! My hands itch to roll the dice. I have also been accepted into four tables but they were all canceled because of the Dropout Players crisis :<..

I ask that whoever a kind soul out there that seeks one more player, I am on my HANDS and KNEES, let me have a seat at your discord table!

I am a-okay with playing in an already established group or a new group or anything just please adopt me!

I'm a semi-new player, I know the basics, I played for a little over three months, I watched dubious amounts of Critical Role, and I played over 700+ hours of Baldur's Gate 3 (if it counts..?) (yes it counts). I'm a roleplay-heavy player who gets way too attached to NPCs and the other players' characters. I exclusively play good-aligned characters as I genuinely get real-life 1d8 psychic damage from making fictional characters sad.

Name: Hefty

Age: 21

Pronouns: Any pronouns

Timezone: GMT+3 (but I promise you, I can make it at 1-3am, it's embarassing, really)

Info on me as a player: I'm a chatty, outgoing player who loves roleplaying and bouncing off other characters. I tend to engage a lot with NPCs and plot hooks, especially if the table's quiet, so I end up talking a fair bit. I'm mindful of spotlight balance though and actively try to pull other players into scenes rather than just running with things myself. I like to think of myself as a very punctual person as I always stick to dates, no session was EVER missed by me, and I take pride in that hehe.

Limits, Red-Lines, Veils: The usual hard limits: anything involving the sexual harassment of minors, and sexual harassment at the table in general. Beyond that I'm pretty easy going and trust the table to communicate if something comes up!

If you see hope in this poor woman, send a DM my way and I will give you my discord handle!

Thank you for reading this far! May your crits be frequent, your initiatives high, and your dragons thoroughly vanquished. Take care :)

I adore her to bits, but I'm so tired of Maggie's dumb ass.

Begrudgingly loving rant incoming..

You might remember Maggie from the post where she refused to burrow in a 25cm (EXPENSIVE) deep bedding (aspen woodshaving and unscented paper)

But now she does new dumb shit. She refuses to clean herself on the sand bath full of sanitized reptile sand. Instead she rolls around like a fool on the COCONUT FIBER!

She adores laying on my hand for warmth, but don't I dare lay a finger on her or even think of petting her, otherwise she immediately runs and hides to the nearest hide.

When she runs on the wheel (11inch, niteangel silent spinner), she runs like a maniac then stops for 2 whole seconds to contemplate life choices, which, of course, causes her to be sweeped by the wheel's speed and fall off.

Maggie hates cauliflower, broccoli, green bell peppers, which are all very nutritious veggies. But she ADORES cucumbers, which are 96%~ just pure water. She only eats the crunchy water.. How the hell do I make her get the nutrients she needs??!

She loves dried mealworms, and would eat them off my hands happily but would NEVER touch them if they were scattered in the bedding or in the food bowl. They don't register to her as snacks unless they're on the human's hands. It's cute but it gets tiring when I have to wait every night for her to wake up so that I can hand-feed her the much-needed daily protein like a queen.

Enclosure: 125cm x 70cm, custom-made from a woodworker.. Not that she fucking appreciates it.

My hamster doesn't burrow from what I saw, is that normal?

Maggie (female dwarf, around 3 months old or so) has a 125cm x 70cm home, she has 25cm deep bedding that is a mix of unscented paper and aspen woodshaving. Her wheel is an 11inch niteangel silent spinner wheel.

She is very energetic, touchy, and loves mealwroms and flax seeds in particular. But she never burrows. Much unlike my older female syrian hamster (who burrowed like no tomorrow)

افضل مايك دايناميك بسعر ال٢٠٠-٦٠٠ ريال؟

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

بعد معاناة الجميع من صوتي، قررت اني احتاج مايك جديد، مايك السماعة حقتي (HyperX Cloud III) خلص عمره الصراحة وابي مايك مستقل منفصل عن السماعة

وانا ادور لقيت ال Maono PD200X وعجبني لأسباب:

- الكلام عنه كويس وصوته دافي مو حاد

- يجي معاه shock mount من الأول، وكمان مع نسخة الPD200XS ما تحتاج تشتري ستاند منفصل

- عنده مدخلين XLR و USB-C يعني لو بغيت اطور لاحقاً مع audio interface اقدر، بس بصراحة غالباً بقعد على USB-C

- وكمان يلتقط صوت المتكلم بس ومو حساس للضوضاء الجانبية

- سعره مع الستاند ٣٠٠ ريال في على اكسبريس

احد جرب هذا المايك؟ شو رأيكم فيه؟ ولو عندكم تجارب مع مايكات ثانية في نفس الفئة او احسن منه بسعر ٢٠٠-٦٠٠ او قريب منه افيدوني الله يسعدكم.

يعطيكم العافية 🙏

Rest in peace, Qamar

Right after I started giving him the life he deserved(check my account), he went to hamster heaven :( I wish I knew why he died but it was all out of the blue. I took him to the exotic vet two months ago and he was totally fine. I only had him since 2nd of April and I thought I had two good years before he goes away.

u/Profile_Hefty — 4 months ago

Is my new hamster home good?

It's 125 cm x 70 cm, the wheel is a niteangel 11 inch, the pressed bedding (paper and aspen woodshaving) depth is 22 cm.

The first few things Qamar did in his new home: demolish all the flaxseed sprays like a madman then go for a nap.

Monitoring hamster weight gain

Hello hamster lovers! I hope you're having a great day

Does this look like healthy weight gain for a Campbell's dwarf hamster?

He eats Higgins Vita Garden + 1-3 mealworms a day

The first (27.7 g) time is when I first got him from a petstore so sadly he's a bit underweight due to fighting his littermates for food

———

2026, 3rd of April Friday:

Weight: 27.7 g

——

2026, 25th of April Saturday:

Weight: 32 g

——

2026, 22th of May:

Weight: 38.1 g

Thank you for reading this y'all!
