I think my hamster got wet tail. Not sure. But his butt has becoming yellowish and often got like pee i don't know. Sometimes when I hold him, I can feel that there's pee at his butt. And doesn't smells good. Really worried. I wanted to take him to the vet but it's so far away. I'm a student and has no transportation. I think the nearest vet is 45 minutes from here. What should I do? Please help.

Hello again.

Can Alfafa hay be used for bedding. It says can on the packaging but read somewhere (can't remember) that it's not very good for bedding. Have anyone use it as bedding before?

I wanted to post up a picture of my hamster but don't know how. Hehe.

NoiZy,

Thank you. Found it already but suddenly internet weng cannot upload pictures. Will try to upload tomorrow.

HyourinMaru & eric138,

Yes, I used chipsi citrus. But thought of changing it to a different bedding. So I went to the nearest pet shop and they only got chipsi and alfafa hay. But I put little bit of hay only, mix it with the chipsi bedding. I'm going to KL tomorrow. Do you know any petshops that sell bedding which is not like chipsi?

And I use Vitakraft now for his meal. Previously I bought habitrails but he didn't eat much. End up throw it away most of the time.

Thanks guys!

Hehe, thought the citrus one would produce less smell that's why opt for that. Hehe. But going to change anyways. I use vitakraft high premium range. It's good right?

Okay, this is my hamster.

Oh, I didn't know what type of hamster before haha. Now I know. It's a male.

Hye, I'm going back to sarawak this raya for a week. Is there any idea where i can put him. Don't think it's a good idea if i just put loads of food and water and leave him alone like that.

Or is there anyone here who can help me jaga him for a week? If you're interested, give me a PM. Thank you.

yana, petshack do provide that service? how much is it per night?

I don't like Pets Wonderland too. Bought my starter kit there. The set comes with a small packet of Chipsi bedding. Since they're out of stock, I asked if i could upgrade to bigger packet, then add money since i rarely in KL so no time to go to Mid Valley just to redeem the bedding. But they don't allow (not sure if this is standard in every other shops).

Then i got free gift, cat shampoo? LOL. Don't have any cats lah.

But my main point is, i don't really like the service at Pets wonderland Mid Valley.

Last week, i bought a new wheel for my hamster. Ever since then, he kept on peeing in that new wheel. Until his pee bertakung d in that wheel then he'll continue exercising in that. Which sometimes make his body becomes wet due to the pee. So i have to wipe him and the wheel also everytime. Then put him in bathing sand. But still, his fur becomes yellowish due to the pee.

Is there any ways to make him stop peeing in that wheel? Because he still poo in the litter box but not pee. How yea.

i think people overlook my question. sad sad.

Hyourin, sharkie, Noizy,

mine is dwarf campbell. will try to do as what u guys said. hopefully he'll stop peeing lah. hehe. if there's any progress will let u noe. thanks!

Hye,

it's been awhile since I last visit this forum. busy with exams and all. Gonna graduate soon and will return to my hometown, Bintulu. So I'm planning to bring my hamster along because I don't want to leave him with someone else. You guys know how can I do this? Please help me. I'm going back by the end of this month, November. I don't wanna leave my hamster here, in semenanjung. Love him so much.

haha, yes Lawrence. Going back by plane. If only I could seludup him in my shirt then that'll be easy. But he moves a lot!

Alright everyone, I finally asked the MAS airlines people about it. So basically, it's okay. No paper works and stuffs needed. But he has to be located in the luggage area. Then later, in Sarawak, they'll decide if he'd be quarantined or not. Hope everything will went well.

They didn't say anything about extra charges though.

OMG people, my hamster just died. He was very active this morning and then suddenly when I check on him this evening he's already gone. I just cleaned up his cage this morning. I'm so sad. I love him so much. *cry cry* )': RIP.
