hopefully your hamster will be alright.
*fingers crossed*

from word of mouth, i strongly recommend this vet especially for treatment of small animals:

choco and noodles are syrian?

a little concern about my hamlet
he seems to be grooming ALOT
ytd inspected him while playing with him
found his skin (under fur) seems to have like hard hard thing
probably due to scratching.
is it normal?
just cause he over groom or are there mites?

he groom more than my female last time!
the hard thing is like hard skin?
normal a?
i know my bf dog also have it after scratching alot
but i scared got mites only
how to check for mites? anyone?

he smells good thou hahaha
always sniff my hamlet

YER SYRIAN I WANT BABY SYRIAN

owh no its so sad to keep hamster in a box
especially a syrian!
syrian needs big space.. 2ft plastic aquarium tanks are great for syrians
but you must buy all the accessories
wheel is important for hamsters because its in their nature that they travel and walk very far every night to find food in the wild
my wheel is from habitrail.. not very expensive
7.5" to 8" suitable for syrians.. its only RM 17 plus

dont forget to include food bowl, water bottle, a toilet (if you intend to toilet train him) and if possible a house hideout box.

my habitrail i think its 7"
its bigger than silent spinner's
rm 17 only

i wanted to buy silent spinner but its too small for syrians
habitrail playground wheel lor
its bigger than silent wheel
i stick to aquarium so its alil noisy but then if you put on bar cage i think less noisy but i not sure la

cause the mechanism if it is running straight its silent
only when it vibrates against my aquarium wall then noisy

want to ask

what time do your hammies wake up?
mine wakes up at 12am
if i wake him up, he will be active while i play with him
but if i wake him up, play awhile and put him in the ball
he will fall asleep after 5 minutes in the ball..

why my hammy wake up so late one?

but he wake up very late
at night, whenever im up to go bathroom or drink water
he will wake up to run wheel
but as i lay in my bed try to sleep
HE ALSO SLEEP IN HIS WHEEL *smacks head*
wake up very late 12 am only awake. but around 8 or 9 only he officially sleep back
and he is VERY CONSISTENT!
every night 12 am he starts running his wheel
so usually at 12 am when he abut to start, i put him in ball for 30minutes if i still awake..

very little bonding time lor if he wake at 12..

i got try aaa
he fall asleep in ball
plus everytime i play with him when i wake him up
the moment i put him back he go sleep
i feel bad and guilty
like a depriving his sleep

the thing is that hamsters are not nocturnal -.-
they are crepuscular thats why i feel my hammy wake up too late

anyone manage to potty train their hamsters?
wanna ask what potty litter do you use?

ya potty training means you train your hammy to pee in a box which is his toilet rather than in his cage so you dont have to clean it as often

i use bathing sand but i dont like it
scent goes away after his first pee even if i remove it immediately after he pee
and if he havent pee in the sand, the scent also will disappear quick

when i bought the toilet, came with a free sample of litter
that one up to a week (or more but i dispose it after a week)
wont smelly

i think that bathing sand is different from litter so im looking for litter

syrian easier to train
dont use chipsi its really bad for them ler

1. they like to bring bedding around their house, it cuts their cheeks
2. if they accidentally swollow, cannot digest

i plan to use woody pet
http://www.woodypet.com/pets.html
anyone tried it before?
its a big pack and its cheap for hamsters la
cause its originally developed for horses
many claimed that its safe for use with animals other than horse
such as cats and guinea pigs

anyone tried for hamsters?

i use paper bedding btw.
shred paper
if you are willing, use papers that is not recycled
cause if recycle got ink
DO NOT USE NEWSPAPER many ink!
if your hamster not toilet train then you might not wanna use this cause paper less absorbent

alternative, if you think shreded paper might be sharp for their cheek pouch,
you can use tissue either those normal tissue or the kitchen towel type
but i dont wanna use cause it will melt in the cheek for normal tissue
but using tissue also better than using pine or cedar bedding
reason cause tissue can digest my lecturer say

i planning to use woody pet for toilet only
not for the whole cage
for whole cage i use shreaded paper

woody pet 3.6kg only RM 18 wor
the other one how much?

using alex hamster bathing sand in lemon
not good for litterrrr

i think sand bathe more healthy for hamsters
but alex one is not a good brand i feel
erm woody pet is very absorbent apprently
no stinky smell if you clean once a day
can replace it once every 2 weeks according to reviews
but its not scented to have a nice smell either
which i feel is good la, more healthy for hamster

the woody pet can get from petsmore.

heyyy me from subang toooo
1utama has petsmore also
no idea where else
