my female hammy bited me just now T_T she is not easily b tame compare to the male one..the male doesnt bite at all... hehe

is there a post on where i can make my hamster dont bite? my hamster really VERY GANAS. the moment u put ur hand into the cage, it will come and BITE and trust me it hurts like hell.

any sifu here pls help me as i want to care and love my hamster but it keep biting me. til today i cant even "sayang" it. T_T

If on a budget, just go for Chipsi Super/Classic, and mix it with a little or half of breeder celect. Do avoid scented/pine bedding, it is harmful to your hammies. I now currently using about 50% breeder celect and 50% chipsi classic.

Haha, good luck on training them!

How long have your hammie been with you? If just within a month, thats to be expected. They need to get used to the surrounding, scent etc.

You may also try to use a glove and handle if all else fail. This is to make it to get used to being hand-handled. Try putting a piece of tissue in your pocket for awhile, so it can soak your scent, then place it into the cage, try it for a week or two.

Wish you luck!

are delikates brand good ? i've compared the analysis with habitrail pellet food and it seems that the nutriens are slightly higher than the habitrail ones .

btw is there any disease that a hammie can infect human being ?

my baby hammie open eyes a few days ago, now furry furry already ^^

another hamster gave birth to 2 new pups last week. now big already, not yet open eyes, no fur and still pinkish.

i feel so happy ^^

Haha, congrats!! Be careful of hamsternappers..

winter dwarf hamster (normal)

hey guys, how long is a life span of a hamster?

at most is 2yrs - 3yrs .. It also depends on how u take care of it and the kind of bedding and food for your hamsters..

Pinkie , for care fresh bedding im not sure but avoid buying pine / flavoured bedding cause its bad for them , you can try back-to-nature bedding from www.petshack.com it isnt exp too haha! btw roborovski is tiny and the fastest hamster of all species haha so there's no good way to handle it ! just avoid letting it drop haha!

Hahaha.. I also got a pair of robo.. It is hard to tame robo cause they are wild hamster.. Not like Winter White and Syrian are more friendly which u able to play with them and tame them..

I usually never play with my robo cause is hard to pick them up too.. Last time when they are still few weeks old, i able to play with them.. As they grow older, they became more wild and hard to catch.. If i wana clean the cage, i just scoop them up with a small cup..

You can try Back-2-Nature bedding or Breeder Celect.. This 2 is mostly recommend for hamsters.. Carefresh bedding hard to find cause only oversea have it..

whats the diffrence between a rm10 wheel and a silent spinner that easily cost more than rm30 ++ ?

Min's fur darkened since her baby days, typical for cinnamon coloured hamsters





These pictures are a little bit dated. I wonder how are her siblings doing. Bought her from bobiac on lowyat

And what are your thoughts about the new toy hamster XD

Even hamsters can be fake now lol

Hey people..
Anyone know of any petshop providing pet boarding/hotel service for hamsters??

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1248494

you can try asking .

Heh I wonder if it is safe to leave Minmin alone for christmas. She bites the bottle for attention

Im sure it is safe to leave her alone for christmas.. Maybe give her some toys to play or biting stone.. So she wont bite the bottle..
if not, try playing wit her before you go celebrate your christmas party.. Im sure she will get some satisfaction before u leave

the difference: undisturbed sleep

hamsters are nocturnal, thus being very active at night. the cheap ones can get really noisy as the wheel and stub rubs against each other. It can be temporary fixed by applying cooking oil (safer then machine oil if consumed) on the stub before inserting it into the wheel. be sure to wipe off excess oil as the hamsters will lick them.

cheaper alternatives is to put the hamsters far away from your bedroom.

thanks for the info , but i tried spinning the wheel at a pet store , no sounds mah , kk , i think il use the oil solution ...
