Those Syrian is for beginner,sure u dont face the same with WW.
u can just offer some treat from out of the cage,between the bar,try to give a "kuaci" @ mealworm.
make sure if u want to handle a hams,dont pick up from up,try just scoop ur hams.
between this period,hamster will stress 4sure and they tend to be aggressive and active.

remember,patient is the key.

Actually dwarf and syrian r the same if i'm not wrong,just syrian is better for beginner bcos they r bigger and easy to hold them as they wont escape dat easily.Temperament i dun think there is any different,juz they hav their own personalities

Dwarf or syrian is the same. As hyourin said, syrian is more suitable for beginner/kids becoz they are easier to hold and catch since their size bigger.. Dwarf is much smaller and more fragile, they run faster and harder to catch...

Their temperament largely dpend on the seller/breeder. If they are very used to be handle by human, they can easily adapt to new owner.

So far, i haven encounter any big prob with Hermes. Jus once he bite me because he is kinda nervous when entered my room that fulled of different animals. After that, he is doin extremely fine with me.

@Lawrence, i noticed u adopted a few animals. But pls study and research, is good you can ask opinion from experienced owner here, but there are alot basic thing u can easily read from the net.

Some questions are jus keep on repeat and repeat, although it's already stated on the first page.

ya eric = ) i've been studying well , its stated syrians is Solitary but its doing fine with its own sex = ) , but the only problem is the Food Holder/bowl and Water bottle only xD

Food are well eaten , but then just intend to pour it all out cause of the light bowl , well im buying exo-terra dish for them = )

Water bottle , i didt really see them drinking much , and i saw someone asking the same question as me but some experienced guy said they might even consume few drops of water a day but more water is consumed by the pregnent's one

Mind tell me where stated the bolded part?
They will drink frm water bottle when they wan to,they will keep themselves alive

i mean its Stated syriansis Solitary "But" its doing fine with its own sex

the "but its doing with its own sex" is from me ! and have u faced pregnent syrians before = )

you better separate the syrians. It is already stated that syrians are solitary, why still keep together?

In case you don't know what solitary means. Here is the meaning from dictionary.com.



So please do the correct and humane thing and separate the syrians into individual tanks.

Added on August 30, 2009, 11:43 pmAre you couple who bought the WW today in PS?

Just leave the WW alone for 2 days before handling him, this is to let him get use to the new environment. I don't think he is aggressive and wanna attack you as he is tame enough for you to hand feed. Maybe he is too curious to have human touch. WW are very curious hamster wheres Syrians are a bit lazy and slow. That's why WW look like very aggressive and wanna attack. You'll be fine. We also just bought a female WW in PS today.

how to train bonding with my WW hamster,i still not dare to touch them

[quote=LalaBubbles,Aug 30 2009, 01:33 AM]
From my past experiences, yes mama hamsters do drink super alot of water due to breastfeeding babies. Moreover, they need alot of nutrient foods to gain back more energy.

Regarding the pee issue, I suggest u just leave it as it is and minimal the disturbance to the mama and the babies. Just move the cage to other places will do. The mama hamster will handle the other problems inside the cage herself. So basically just need to provide sufficient food and water to her for the 1st 2 weeks.


U know wat Eric,
The pee place looks very watery if didnt clean em.
Looks like a small pond edi..& her butt bcome very Dirty...
Hai...

Well today is the day...

Wondering how's the gathering goes....

Hay east_wing HAPPY BDAY!!
May GOD Bless U...

Hayyoh..pity u la..
dont worry,sure ur ham do enjoy the scenery there,
especially at the evening...
i'm really sorry cant join u..

Myb some other time when all people agree to gather with our fuball,
then we decide the detail.


*Thanks,(now old already)

Ok here's a solution for the hole at your cage there. Get a marble white stone and place it at corner there. Make sure the stone is heavy enough so that the hamsters cannot move it by anyhow. The stone can act as a cooling place for the hamsters to sleep on as well. Every of my hamsters have their own sleeping stone lol... just like us human having our own boaster or pillow

Hope that helps ^^
