Ashj is only selling it RM30 for everything.. Cheap cheap

Is still not advisable to keep 2 different type of hamster together.. But if u insist, den is up to u.. By that time u realise, it already killed each other..

hmmm. i''l try my best to monitor the first, then i will think about separating them

I've let two fully grown hamsters (who have never met each other) mix and play for a few hours, a pearl winter white and an unknown black dwarf twice the size of the WW. they got along just fine. no biting, no running around chasing each other. there's lots of sniffing around and they eventually cuddle up together at the corner of the pen.
It was just a social visit for the hamsters when I bring my WW to my gf's place for the holidays. I guess some hamsters are exceptionally friendly.

you must not THINK about it. It's MUST for you to separate them.
housing two different types is ridiculous! Have you not done any research before getting hamsters?

I just got myself a tiny little Pearl WW last 2 days..still a baby, white in colour....any hint to make sure her fur always fluffy??

since you've just got her let her get used to the suroundings first. Just leave her for a week or so to let her settle down.
Change the bedding once a week,give plenty of water and good food is the secret to a fluffy hammy
Have fun with your new one feel free to ask anything. we'll do our best to help you out.

thanx sharkie...i'll do my best to make sure she's comfort enough with me...anyways any recommended food brand?

Welcome to hamster world!!
For me i feed them this..

Prestige Nature Herbs and Fruits

wow really? how much it cost or each pack of those? I'm not sure what brand i'm using cost the packaging is in Japanese language lol!
I bought that coz it was the most expensive there....lol!

Lol.. i bought this in Petsmore around Rm14.95 if i not mistaken..
Sometimes i give them eat human food like carrot, broccoli, cucumber, apple, kiwi and etc.. but all raw from the refrigerator..

i see...so we need to give them fruits n veggie once a while izzit?

Yeeahh~ just to lighten their day up.. Maybe like once a week..
Anyway u only have 1?

I bought a new cage for my Mickey!!

wow nice! yeap i only have 1 for a start....maybe i'll get more later on....i really like to watch my Buttercup guling2 in her bathing salt....really cute loh!

thanks! Actually u shud get 1 pair.. Cause she wont be lonely..

I bought this cage cause my pair hamster cant put together anymore due to separate for few days and they cant recognize one another.. End up the fight and now i have to buy an extra cage for one of them..

i see...maybe i should get another 1 later...

separated for only few days n they start fighting? what kind of hamster r u having now?

Do u know that u cant just get a hamster and put them together with another hamster.. They will tend to fight with 1 another because they are completely stranger to each other.. U can do some introduction process by putting them in different cage and let them scene their smells and after that exchange bedding and etc...

If u wan buy in pair, is best to buy them with same sibling.. I have 2 Roborovski hamsters & 4 Winter White hamsters..

2 winter white hamster was same siblings together and they stay at the same cage.. After that i lend to my gf Mickey for 2days only cause she wana play with it.. After when i brought back Mickey and put them together, they tend to fight.. and i asked forumers here, they say that my hamsters already forgot each other scene of smell and that why they get scared.. Tried intro back together but failed.. So meanwhile i put Mickey at a small container cause i no cage for him..

Now bought a new cage, he is living inside..

i see i see.....i think i can buy another 1 from the same shop...coz when i bout my Buttercup...those that were in the same tank with mine are all sibling babies....so i think it should not be a problem...what do u think?

i not sure.. they are sibling, but since u bring back Buttercup for so long, i scared the sibling will forget the smell of your Buttercup..

hmmmm.....problem loh like that....so if i buy another 1....how can i make them stay together?

there's no need for you to get another one. Most hamsters do really good alone. I'm afraid it's too late for you introduce one now. They might end up fighting. If you play with your hamster everyday they WON'T feel lonely. They can fight although they were from the same colony.
The best hamster food is VITAKRAFT (you can see in the main page )
Most owners here use that brand.

as for the cage you can get plastic tank which cost abt RM35,which is very spacious enough.

Snoopie,nice cage you have there I'm afraid it's a little too small. Extensions will make it better and fun! And i noticed there's no wheel inside. Wheel is a must.
