They both have wet tail. This is usually fatal for hamsters. We havent even had them a week, and I've already gotten so attached to them.
I know it might sound silly, but if you don't mind including two adorable baby hamsters in your prayers we'd all really appreciate it.
*Update* Well they both made it through the night. They look a little better however, they are not out of trouble yet. We are going to totally scrub half their mansion while they are in the other part and then do the other one. We're hoping to get the germs out of their house since it's so contagious.
They are still eating and it looks like they've been drinking a bit too. Both very good signs.
I'll keep you guys posted. Thank you so much for the support.
the one in the wheel is Flapjack and the other one with the evil glowing red eyes is Waffelz
They are both looking much better today. we seperated them so that if one gets better she wont get sick from the other again. Flapjack is runnin around like a crazy hamster and seems to be doing really well. Waffelz is still feelin crappy *no pun intended but she's getting better every day.
thank you all for your prayers and kind words and good thoughts.

I'm the same way in the city! I'm constantly adopting and saving animals. i feel like i'm being punished b/c we actually bought these guys. i always say adopting is the only way to go...
i feel awful BUT they are eating and drinking and they let FH give them medicine so there's still some hope.
thanks for your kind words.

aaaw...i LOVE hamsters...i've had several (and I have one now)...but i know they get really stressed out when you first take them home. And that makes them especially succeptible to diseases.
The advice I got from the pet store was to leave them completely alone for the first week or two. Don't try to touch them or pet them or anything. Let them get acquainted with their new surroundings...then they are less prone to diseases.
