awwww!!!!!!!!!!!! i love cream banded!!!!!

NOizy,cute hammy you've got there! should have named her muffin coz she looks like one btw, is that habitrail OVO?? i think it is too small...it is fine if it comes with extension. and do you use the bottle that comes with it....if you do, then you should change. because hamster must lay on their back to drink water, and this is bad.

haha! i love the 2nd pic. as if he's asking" are u like going to take me out or what?" haha!

sounds like she's being defensive. i'm not sure why though...she's from a breeder rite??? then taming can't be the issue... lol! pms perhaps...when females are on heat they can have mood swings.

yes,female syrians do get a little aggressive when they're on heat

i went to PLC today just to do some window shopping...and i saw this little winter white hamster with an injured eye. so, i did inform the workers there and asked them to remove it to a safer place to avoid more injuries as well as infection. i got so pissed of by what the lady said. she told me that it is normal for them to fight and it's just a small injury. and it won't harm the hamster. how on earth could that be true???! the eye was severely red and closed. and i assume that the little chap could be around three months old... i wanted to take it back, but persuading my dad is the hardest thing to do...
anyone please help me??? what shall i do???

that's very true eric...i wish if there's something we can do to help all of them..i feel really terrible right now... at this such young age it is already facing such things...and that's sad...hopefully i'll be ok soon...

the main problems are: people don't do research,they take things for granted(they just don't know that animals do have feelings just like us), and some people can never take advice(and this is when arguments and etc starts)...
ps- i wasnt pointing to anyone. if anyone is guilty there's nothing i can do about it.

keep us updated

this question might sound random...i was bored

did you just get him or he's been with you for sometime? perhaps leave him alone for 2 or three days then see how things work out...then slowly try handfeeding his fav treat...

that means he's still not used to his new wnvironment...leave him alone for sometime to get used to his new surroundings...

this question goes to all breeders...
i was wondering if you guys actually check on the hamsters you gave away? like perhaps once in two months or etc?

i'm not into breeding but i would like to knw...here'something i would like to share. it's from a forum i always go to.

it is about a hamster that was adopted from a breeder and poor little fella was mishandled.

Added on September 15, 2009, 1:47 amyes,let things calm down first...there's nothing much you can do at the moment... you shouldn't push him too much or he'll get more stressed. so,let him calm down...wait for a few days first. then start all over again(i meant the taming process)

thanks for the reply Yana

your hamster need some serious changes. asking whether a bottle is needed or not is not supposed to be a question.all living thing need water. and placing a bottle cap isn't a good idea. it can be toppled over. and can you specify the food brand that you just bought? and most importantly your hammy needs a cage.
since you just got him, leave him alone for at least one to two weeks so that he can get used to the surroundings, then,if he's not tame,you can start the taming process. just to remind you, since you've got one, be fully responsible on it. feel free to ask us questions and we'll do our best. good luck to you keep us updated

um.....i'm not quite sure about the food..but most of us here buy Vitakraft or Harry Hamster food. secondly, the scented bedding and the scented sand bath are REALLY bad for them. you must avoid anything that is scented. because they're bad for their skin as well as their respiratory system. besides that chemicals must have been added to them to make them scented. so,please change them. i've got no comments on the food tho. just make sure there's no ETHOXYQUIN written on the pack
