such a nice cute ww you have there ,sit there eat the carrot. ^^

hi welcome, btw which breed you have , if free post some picture over too. cheers

woo alot of roboski nia u hv there haha~ really another robo die hard fella. seeing ur pic soon i bet. hehehe

>< you really going to shorten the female life span, the best way is to seperate the male hamster , and dont put the male hamster together with other male directly, chances of fighting is high, the best way is to put in a seperate cage or big comfy box( if you not planning to buy a cage) , or put a wire mash before u intro the male hamster to the other cage, so that they can get familiar with each other scent before mix together, as hamster is more depends on their scent, as they cant see well with their eyes,

for female let her tend to the 1st batch of baby, and as well let her recover from the deliver too. hope this help in future. well is best to prepare everything before u plan to breed your hamster, and you are going to take care of the baby too. cause market wise for hamster ,the pet shop have their own local supply d.

cheers and hope the male hamster recover from fighting, is not a good sign hamster face cover with some scare as this is the sign showing the hamster is weak when want to mate with the female, course of nature.

Added on November 18, 2010, 5:46 pmit seem the pet shop doesn't take good care for their hamster for putting a bowl of water for hamster drinking needs, as open water bowl will lead to hamster getting wet and infection may occur too.

for your case, dont worry much for syrian to drink less water, as hamster dont drink much too to be honest .just show her the water can be drink from the bottle, and she will get the idea d. as long when she feel thirsty she will go towards the bottle and try to get the water out, once she figure it out d, is a smooth journey for ur hammy to get their drinks. ^^

if a hamster drink too much of water, i think u need to change their bedding quite frequently as more urine will be expected. ><

Added on November 20, 2010, 1:49 pmhi bro, just want to know where you place your Syrian hamster? is he active during the night? if you Syrian put at a cool environment and not heaty place, and very active at night then shouldnt worry much.

if the hamsters didnt drink much and breath heavily , maybe is time to check for some symptoms d. such as like the place you put the cage is too heaty , or the hamster keep having a long breath, and look un energize, maybe is wet tail symptons or change of environment.

if you find it not drinking much water maybe the place is cool n chilling, as they dont sweat much. or provide lettuce to him, as lettuce is high in water content or some cucumber too. cheers hope this help to ease your concern.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

hmm sillysu, th best option now is seek vet advise on this matter, as i also cant diagnose whether treatment can help your robo recover.

if the whole body really paralyze , i think the last option that not every1 want is put him to sleep. cause you know robo is active hamster, that love to run here n there. if this cause him from daily active , is like seeing him torture day by day. Hope you understand. ya sillysu.

still bring to vet is th best for now.

^^ no worry, anything can just update us. hope we help out you as much as possible too. thanks n wish ur robo recover asap too

sry to hear that sillysu, as my prediction is some where near wht the vet advise it seem T_T. Rest in peace poor hammy. Hope you dont feel over sad ya, still got 2 more robo with u still and need ur caring too , dont feel sad. we are all here also.

yup is better to disinfecting the cage, i assume you have bought the cage disinfection agent d. need any support or help feel free to post it here.

Welcome sillysu, oh got friends give you some hamster pup a. hamster is very easy to determine their breed. =D to disinfect the hamster cage, detol can be use or any other alcohol that disinfect like ethanol. then rise with clean water or can add some soap to clean it and rise with clean water.

the best food is either spend abit on vitakraft. can see the 1st page of the hamster tread.

for water is best to change once or 2 days, max is 4 days this is to prevent the water stay stagnant and bacteria grow inside it.
