um.....as far as i know to bring a pet by plane to another country involves A LOT of paperworks and documents. Some countries require medical check ups and the animal needs to be quarantined for two weeks(singapore).
I'm not sure about malaysia tho. If there's quarantine involved you better consider your pets condition first. smile.gif good luck!

lol! MIA for quite sometime...I'm back smile.gif

Togepy,it's best for you to go see the sand directly. It's difficult to judge wheter it's coarse or dusty.
Do not buy it if it's dust-like.

you put both syrian and dwarf together?!!
you must separate them both immediately. Two different breeds must not be kept together.
Remove them asap.


Added on January 4, 2010, 8:58 pmplus the wheel is way too small and the bedding ins not appropriate. Syrian dont do well with tubes. Remove them if possible.

you must not THINK about it. It's MUST for you to separate them.
housing two different types is ridiculous! Have you not done any research before getting hamsters?

since you've just got her let her get used to the suroundings first. Just leave her for a week or so to let her settle down.
Change the bedding once a week,give plenty of water and good food is the secret to a fluffy hammy smile.gif
Have fun with your new one smile.gif feel free to ask anything. we'll do our best to help you out.

there's no need for you to get another one. Most hamsters do really good alone. I'm afraid it's too late for you introduce one now. They might end up fighting. If you play with your hamster everyday they WON'T feel lonely. They can fight although they were from the same colony.
The best hamster food is VITAKRAFT (you can see in the main page smile.gif)
Most owners here use that brand.

as for the cage you can get plastic tank which cost abt RM35,which is very spacious enough.

Snoopie,nice cage you have there smile.gif I'm afraid it's a little too small. Extensions will make it better and fun! smile.gif And i noticed there's no wheel inside. Wheel is a must.

if you want to get extension get from the same brand. It will fit. why dont you get a plastic tank cage for your hamster, It is very spacious and wayy better than the cage you're having. Plus,you can add more toys to make it interesting and fun. The cage costs around RM35. I'm sure ou can compare the size of your hammy and the cage.. There's definately not enough sapce for it to run around.
Hamsters,run A LOT. So,you better get a wheel fast. A wheel is a must in every cage..
Taking him out is not enough at all.

Erm...what type of bedding are you using? What type of food you give them? Is the water clean?
Hamster pups are very delicate. If you're using pine or cedar,please do change the bedding to toilet rolls (not kitchen towels) or to any recycled paper bedding(like BC or any soft recycled paper beddings).

Better not wait for anything. There's no point asking us hear regarding this. There's nothing we can do also. Please bring him to the vet ASAP. Plus,we never know how serious this could be. Please keep us update smile.gif


Added on April 17, 2010, 5:00 pmAnd that doesn't seem like a normal fur coming out kinda thing. Hope i helped.

so,are you just going to leave your hammy like that without knowing what's wrong? what's the point of keeping pets when you can't afford their necessities?

yeah i guess so, i cant do anything also.. When i bought the hamster to the vet, everybody look at me and even the receptionist told me i am the 1st person who bring hamster to the vet.. She also told me duno the doctor will treat my hamster or not since no body had never bring a hamster before.. So i told her nvm, as there were so many ppl there waiting for their dogs and cats.. So i ask her mostly how much it cost? she told me to try other vets and roughly around RM30..

Is not that i cant afford, is not worth by just letting the doctor to see my hamster with consultation fees cost RM30.. It haven include the medicine yet.. Im sure it will cost up to RM100++ If u were in my situation, im sure u will do the same since it cost so expensive.. Besides, hamster is not an expensive pet which im able to afford it, but this is totally off my budget..

I treat them well as i now raring 6 hamsters now.. Buy them quality foods and give them each 1 personal cage for their own living.. As now, i see he is still active and alive.. So i wont bother about the thing as i not sure is a tumor or wat.. I will just try to spend as much time with him as i can with them.. As u know, hamster life span is only 1-2years..
*
There's a vet that treat hamsters. Dr.jenny and clinic named Hand n Paws.

03-7804 6539 03-7804 6539
Btw,if i were i your situation i wouldnt do the same. And as i know(based on keeping hamsters since i was 13 hamsters lifepan is 3-4 years.
Hope i helped and good luck with your hammie smile.gif

I wouldn't put him under any stress considering his age.. At the same time i definately do not want to see that little old chap suffering either.
Any other options?

Damage or no, you should be more pre-active. When I let my WW out, I make sure that all holes are sealed, and block edges with books etc, high enough so they can't climb. The only place which is left alone is where me myself would be, since when he comes and try to run, I will be there. Try put some toys, mine will play once in awhile, but normally just run around and hunting for the foods/treat that I placed around the table.

Haha tongue.gif block the edges with books eh? I thought i'm the only one who does that tongue.gif I had hard time finding hard covers. They can't be pushed easily by those little brats tongue.gif

The wheel is too small for a syrian. Perfect one is about 8 inches in diameter.

Hi, i ve found that there's a "tumor" at my hamster's armpit for quite some time. it has stop growing. And my hamster still looks healthy although he is almost 2 years old.
But that "tumor" really looks disturbing. And im afraid might affect his movement or health. I saw there's somebody saying that, using a string to tie on the tumor so that the cell will die and it will drop off eventually?
The question is, Should i leave the tumor there or try the method above?
Anybody tried tat before?
*
Tie it with a string and it'll drop off???? No,never attempt that. It could be such a pain to the hamster and we could never be sure if it's bening or malignant. Take it to the vet ASAP. They know better.

Hamsters are prone to diabetes so i would suggest you to feed minute amounts or not feed at all.

You have such lovely hamsters smile.gif The ridges on the wheel could be painful for their time feet. Perhaps you can cover/line them with a cardboard or something. Is there two wheels or only one?
