hi zeru, regarding syrian hamster around lyn. so far non have been spotted, or already inactive . the best way to get a Syrian is either go to the pet shop and look for those healthy 1, with clear eyes balls "No watery or no cloudy eyes", nice fur around the body and its body weight is ideal "Not those with fur feeling off, or bald" . and most important is make sure the Syrian you get from pet shop is active and running around. th most basic identification to find a healthy hamster.

if you plan to get in pet shop, try to get Ur self a comfortable box. Cause pet shop i notice mostly will just put the hamster in a small tiny box and sell to buyer. >< really faint when i see them doing this. As this will cause the hamster to panic, with sudden change of environment.

Is best if you have Ur cage /"BOX", put some food inside and some bedding as the hamster feel more comfortable while traveling back to your house.

Hope this tips will help u out during ur transfer of hamster. cheers

lo..will go back see how they do. Fattish hamsters...1 pair winter pearl

Most of the pet shop in johor bahru does not have a lot of hamster stuff. The one I go so far only have one type of cage and even hard to find the bathing sand.

Can anyone suggest a good pet shop in JB for hamster shopping?

I want to buy bedding, bathing sand and if the price of the cage is attractive I will buy one cage also. I need a bigger cage.

PS: There was this pet shop in taman damai , the workers don't know what is hamster ball!!!!

@Xplod: Dude, thank you so much for the advise, I really appreciate it and shall follow it ^^

Thank you

LOL sipek cute ur syrian hamster.

For JB small animal owners good news
This is the only petshop so far that specilises on small animal and scorpion in johor bahru. I have searched many petshop and most of the petshop selling service and care for large animals like dogs and cats. For small animal lovers in JB can go here. The price is reasonable also, almost all the things are same price as in LYN.

address: 2nd floor in Tesco Extra Plentong, Pasir Gudang highway. The address for the tesco extra is Lot 34, Jalan Masai, Batu 10, 81750 Masai, Johor Bharu.

My hamsters


New cage bought yesterday.

Tucson busy

Chevy exploring new house

nice cage!! cute hamsters!! =D

really a spacious house you provide for your hammy, oh ya regarding the running wheel, make sure the hammy leg wont stuck in it. like run run n fall down with the hole in the running wheel, is better to seal up the hole between the running wheel. this to prevent the hamster running too fast n stuck in it, letter the leg get injured.

Hi all,

I have 2 pack of wood shaving (one with apple "flavor" and one without any scent ) with me at the moment. I have use some of them, but my hamster doesn't seem to like it, so I didn't finish it. So I'm wondering if anyone here wanted them. Only (2) catch is that the COD is from my place at KL and that the 2 pack is open-ed (the top part of the plastic is cut/torn open so must prepare some sort of container for the return trip)

i think my hamster got mites....it keeps on scratching its body everytime i look at it.....i tried going through its fur to look if i can see any but cannot coz its keep on moving....but i did notice a red dot at the neck....is there any mites killer powder or something to apply? since we cant bath hamster so i we cant use any mites shampoo or anything like that....i tried giving it sand bath but he just dont like it....he even pee in it i guess syrian hamster dont like sand bath.... any suggestion?
