This thread has nothing to do with A.D but may have alot to do with testing whether red wine prevents A.D.
I have a problem at home with bullies - not people , but hamsters. We have 3 Chinese male hamsters. Chinese hamsters are supposed to be happy living together. Our three are called Bruce, Lee and Jack. Bruce is mouse coloured, Lee and Jack are pale stripy. They have a three floored house with plenty of little house shaped bits to make their nests in. Bruce tends to sllep on the ground floor , Lee and jack on the top floor. Bruce is the best looking and if he was the only hamster we had I would love him, but he is being nasty to the others and is making me mad with him. If you have Chinese hamsters you will know that although the males have lovely sweet faces their other ends are not so pretty and are very enlarged. Jack keeps attacking Lee or Jack (we can't tell who is who) and sinking his teeth into this large region. Acouple of days ago I saw him doing this . He just wouldn't let go even when I threatened him with a spell outside with the birds. His victim was literally bleeding onto his sawdust and struggling to walk the next day. I think our Bruce has a serious problem. He could be very jealous. Should I carry out my threat? Should I get another cage for him - he could then be lonely? or should I let them cope on their own? Any advice welcome. Zan
