Hamster toys
You can make your own hamster toys or buy some readymade ones that are on the market in petstores. Homemade toys that your hamster will enjoy include :
- swinging toilet tube rolls - dangle these and watch your little hamster swing off their new toy like Tarzan (or Jane)
- if you are fortunate enough to have an apple tree in the backyard, you can snap off a branch and put it in your hamster cage - your hamster will enjoy using it as a climbing frame and gnawing on the branch - great to keep those incisor teeth in shape!
- use a shorter branch from the apple tree and make a trapeze and watch your hamster swing off it!
- empty egg cartons make lovely nesting boxes for dwarf hamsters - just cut holes on either side and watch your hamsters burrow into them - great hamster toy!

Beta fish with bulge on chest
My betta fish has developed what appears to be a huge bulge on his chest. It starts right after his little front fins and continues to his tail. Almost as if he's really fat. (I don't overfeed him though) His skin is so stretched the bulge is white. The poor guy is so top heavy and I see him laying on the bottom with his head down and his tail facing up. Also, he has lost some of his color on the rest of his body (it's faded) and has little white spots on him. I tried Ick treatment for the spots at the recommendation of the pet store but it doesn't seem to have helped and the bulge is getting bigger. I'm afraid to change his water because I don't want to make anything worse. I'm very afraid he's going to die. He still seems to be eating and swims around actively, but I know something is seriously wrong. Thank you.
