yeah. I fed my runt syrian hammie from 1 week on by hand. I gave it KMR soaked in break and I also fed her streight KMR with a tiny seringe. She lived to. she was the only femal ehamster out of the litter the other two were males. I sold her to this gurl and her mother and they had a HUGE cage and their only other pet was a guiea pig, she had like 3 hamster books too, I knew she would really love hamving my lil hammie, it was sooo hard to give it up to a new home though.
