my hamster only wants to eat kuachi & no other hamster food....i scared he dont get all the nutrients. Should i buy all kinds of hamster food & let him try one by one until he found the "right" one for him to eat or is there any tips that can make him eat the hamster food?

taming dwarf will not be easy.anyway does WW and robo behavior is almost the same?

can i know which brand of food you are providing for your hamster? so far my hamster eat all the food in the vitakraft dinner, just some time eat less on the pellet form. others sure sapu finish asap. lol

hi, i had 3 robo. they were all active and fine for the past one and a half month. when i just came back, one of my robo died. :'( it just liek there frozen, not moving at all. what could be the cause? they have sufficient food and water. i change bedding for them weekly as well.

now my 2nd robo is acting all funny. when it walks, it walks a bit funny. the other is still super active. any guide on how to make sure they are healthy?

i am very sad

sorry to hear the sad story, did they show any sign of pain or sickness like wet tail? robo hardly fall sick n die like that. and somemore you say frozen over there like die instantly, is ur robo environment too hot? i mean heaty without any good ventilation. Through your story seem like heat stroke.

as i check on them everyday, they did not show any kind of sign. cos i take them out daily just to run around a lil. no wet tail. i usually put them in shaded places before i leave for work, far from sunlight. but yesterday weather was hot. could dat be the caused?i leave my room fan on all the time, but i do close my window.

maybe, cause so far i see all the info about robo sudden death, is either get wet tail, due to over stress heat condition "heat stroke" , or virus /disease infection. Cause i not sure where u bring ur robo to run around a little, is it in the room or living room or out field and some more your robo is not die of old age, as just a few month.

hmm...i only let it run around in my room. i dun bring it outside to the field or living room.and i usually put them in a covered ball to avoid running off to small and hard to reach places.

anyway to prevent this with the other left?

hi..i'm new here....
nice to know u all...

i want to ask... why my sister's Syrian hamster, they eat their babies..
first they breed about 6 babies.. all has been eaten by their mother... a month later breed again 4 babies, and been eat also...

my WW just breed 2 babies...fyi this is first birth...the mother are very protective... the babies still not been eaten yet...hehe

p/s: sorry for my bad English...hehe

Jxplod!!

I just ordered Vitakraft Dinner from PetShack..hehe..didnt have online banking so this Thursday gonna transfer money to them.. =P
I checked their pricing..most of what they're selling are the same as the ones selling in the petshops in Ipoh..plus the goods get delivered to our homes.. =P
So i think it's easier and better.. =D
Thanks for the recommendation!! =D

hi would like to know if there is any vet or hamster clinic available around PJ? one of my Robo seems to have injured both its hind leg and cant reli run around. Need help URGENT on this!!! Thanks

i got 2 robo... may be next time i will post the picture

Back from retirement. Gonna get Winter White and sapphire/agouti tonight. Will have a look at Petsmore at tropicana.

can i bath my bibo? syrian hamster....its quite smelly...i luv to hold hiM

Morning~~icic, ya mostly i also doing the same thing let him run over the room, but ill put tower cloth to prevent the ball hit the wall, as it will cause impact n noise that will disturb the robo inside it. Best is smth to cover or reduce the impact on solid matter. So bro th other left, wht else you want to prevent it? hope can list in detail so i can help u out to search any info related to the situation, trying my best to help up ^^ cheers.

Added on November 23, 2010, 8:45 amMorning fendy 87 , regarding bathing hamster is really really not advisable , you can purchase the bath sand in pet shop + bath toilet too, whereas all hamster also know hw to clean up neatly, no need for us to worry about their hygiene . AS they do a much better job compare to us bathing them. The best way to prevent your hamster smelly is to make sure the environment is CLEAN and water have to be change latest by 3 to 4 days. To prevent bacteria from growing in the water bottle. Since you love to hold him, pet shack got sell 1 item to reduce the smell of hamster, and is friendly towards hamster too, you might consider that. Cheers

morning JXplod, thanks for your info. Well just to let u know what is happening now. I have two Robo left, the other is still active and lively as usual, but the other is showing signs like wet tail. last night both of its hind legs are not moving, sort of like paralysis and it seems pretty weak. it just lie there sleeping and seems like breathing heavily.

I am thinking to bring it to the clinic later. wat do you thk could be the cause?

Yup, is good for small hamster. If syrian maybe limited space. Good to hear your robo loves it.

Will share the picture once I bought the hamster. Still looking.

any recommendation or suggestion of good clinic to bring it to?

Ain't sure mate. I took mine to Cheras leisure mall, corner shoplot vet.

Maybe you can click link below or call them to check :

hi sillysu, nice to hear from u again. seeing your robo go through this phase is definitely is heart saddening. but with both hind legs paralysis , and without moving, either your robo fight during the night and damage his spinal cord or smth else, if confirm both the hind legs cant move mostly is spinal cord suffer some damage. Well sillysu going to vet you must need to be mentally prepare as vet fees sometime will cost a boom,but it depends on each situation. Well sometime for our love 1, how much is cost wont affect us much as this is our responsible, like caring for our siblings or parents too.

so far i found this article , see whether it can help u out? http://roborovskihamsters.webs.com/apps/fo...legs-?page=last

haha sure no problem, ya due to the small tunnel n limited space, robo should do find in the ovo pad. really cute seeing them running here n there through ovo, is really different compare to mini habitral cage. lol
