Sadly Oscar's story is very common.
His owner didn't realise that Syrians must be
kept in their own cages from about 6-8 weeks. She kept a number
together who
subsequently produced babies. As they were overcrowded in their cage they all ended up fighting. Oscar was
very badly injured, a great lump had been removed from his side and it was
doubtful whether or not the wound would heal. Oscar has a real
fighting spirit and did survive and today only shows the physical scars of
badly shredded ears. He is an incredibly friendly and docile hamster
despite the trauma of his childhood.
