hi hello...im new with hamsters...have a pair of WW...just wondering, is it normal for hamster to sleep in the bathing sand?...because Po love to sleep/eat in bathing sand...he make it like his house...just now i transfer both of them to new cage...after putting Po, the first thing he search is the bathing area...hmmm is it normal behavior for hamster?...

may i ask, for how long u keep your WW in the box to make it change coat?


yeah, Po from kungfu panda..i gave him that name because hes so fat and big compared with other hamsters same age as him... btw thanks for your answer...

so, WW can change coat according to temperature and time exposed to light(according to Cyberheroess)...but how long it takes to change?..1 day?1 week?...

btw, i will going to get new hamster, Roborovski...i have 1.5x1 feet aquarium...should i get 1 or 2 Robos?...i have read that they are so cute and adorable when they play with each other...is there enough space for 2 Robos in my aquarium?

my WW likes to jalan2 in my room but never to far from me...but they will always come back to me...i think, they afraid getting lost...LOL

last week i bring them to Kulai from Shah Alam...im staying there for 2 days, so i bring my WW..in car, when they sleep i put them in their cage...when they wake up i let them walk around on the dash board..they afraid to go to car floor just want to play where i can see them...

nope, the one trying to climb is fat & lazy hamster, while the active hamster at the bottom ...if the other way around, it is possible for her to climb...
(the fat lazy WW is male(Po) active WW is female(Buny)...

my hamster also like to bite cage & sometime they bite the food container, i give them fruit shape chew toy but they never bite them...need to find apple wood for them to bile, i will be going to PetShack this sunday...

when the baby will be born?...if not long from now, i want to adopt some from u

where?..

this morning my WW bite my finger and it bleed a little...so sakit la, so small and cute but have very strong jaw..i just change my WW to new aquarium...then i saw my WW is trying to bite the silicone at the corner of aquarium...maybe because his chew toy is at far away at another corner, he didnt find it...i want to pick him up then he starts to lick and slowly bite my finger...so i let him do it because he usually done that,,,suddenly he bite my so hard...so sakit!!

can i ask...how do u notice that your hammy teeth is overgrown?...and how did u clip their teeth??..

i want to know where i can get vitacraft premium & fresh/mealworm?...

i went to sunway pet shack...they sell vitacraft but seem like old stock...got many habuk2 cause the food inside pecah...
as for mealworm, can u give me the map(google map) for the shop...i want to try give to my hamster...
1 question, how long can i keep live mealworm?..how do i keep it?...

last tuesday i went to creepy creature at summit...i saw very cute+fat+healthy WW...its almost the size of my knuckle...the pet shop owner said that WW is only 5 month old...i really want it but it just for display... the owner said he gave their pet imported pet food only...

anyone breeding mealworms to feed their hamster?..i want to ask, what will u do to the darkling beetle after they lay eggs?..u let it die naturally/throw it away...i have read that hamster will not eat darkling beetle due to the smell they release if being harm...

for plastic aquarium..if u dont mind to make a hole on the aquarium wall, u can use the same wheel from the old cage..but id u buy glass aquarium, u need to buy new wheel...the smell is depending on how many hamster u have and what food u give them...im using glass type aquarium, have 2 hamsters and only put dried food in the aquarium@just put enough fruit/veggie for them to finish overnight...the smell is bearable...and im using normal bedding(without scent)...

my hamsters is mating right now...

ok, this is the picture of my aquarium..



not so big, about 75cmx35cm(used to put my fish)...i make my hamsters houses and tubes...i just buy the water bottle, sand bath container, wheel and food bowl...cost me about rm40-50 (not included their food/sand bath/bedding)...

actually, it is not very difficult to clean it..i just take out everything(wheels/houses/tubes/etc)...then use my hand to take out the bedding...after that there must be some remaining bedding, i use vacuum cleaner to suck everything left... then wipe the aquarium...set up back my aquarium then FINISHH!!!

my aquarium is bearable...not so unpleasant and my aquarium dont have any lid... i dont think hamster pee smell too much...my hamster pee have no scent..

well, i dont really remember how much the aquarium cost...this aquarium i used to put fishes in it...and its about 3-4 years ago...but i seen nice aquarium at the creepy creature, the summit...about the same size with mine...cost around rm90-100+...better quality than mine...the glass are thicker and clearer...also dont have any corner, the aquarium wall made of 1 piece of glass(bented nicely at the corner to form rectangular shape)...mine is like old school type of aquarium(4 pieces of glass to make the wall)...

i read in some website, u can stick sand paper on the wheel...so, when your hamster run in the wheel, their nail will be filed...

i bought it at pet shack, sunway...
