plc price too expensive. dont know whether the quality assure or not..i think they getting those hamster from breeder also..if they really imported they can post the receipt there so is worth it to buy at that price..i wish to go plc but no transport.. sad.gif
My fren also saying petsmore hamster is ok..but dont think got any around bukit bintang area...

i very sad saw those hamster all in a bin & hungry & fighting..maybe try choose the healthy one ..try my luck..if no then just buy things..

Btw, u all know where can i get wheel & water bottle holder with suction cup?

Yea my hammie are brought from petsmore too. Another petshop i can recommend you it's the chubby pets garden. They sell small animals product only no live hamster or small animals. If you go by LRT then get down at PWTC station & The Mall are just beside the station. Here the website:-

http://www.chubbypetsgarden.com/webshaper/...Cat.asp?catID=4

Anyway what kind of wheel that you looking for? The mini pet street sg wang got all sort of wheel but if your cage are the bin type then you might wanna buy the wheel stand as well. Bout the water bottle holder with suction cup very seldom petshop have this but can try to look at sg wang there.

Petsmore the nearest was at petaling street but it already closed down. Nilufar pet & aquatic @ the scott garden hamster are quite ok too but it kinda far. Located at old klang road but it quite near to my place tongue.gif

Msia pet shop are sucks rite? especially on hamster stuffs. It sucks & sucks to the max!!! Hardly can find a good quality hamster products. In fact i dont even mind to fork out a bunch at least it got quality. But sometime they very seldom masuk stocks for hamster sad.gif But saucer wheel i know nilufar got sell it. Maybe you can go & have a look.

I never liked Petsmore from the beginning. All their branches are badly maintained, very dirty, especially the animal cages.
Hamster also don't look healthy. ><

I'm lucky when i brought my baby that time he is healthy. But could have agree more. I have stopped buying things from petsmore long long time ago. They just cater dogs & cats more & just a tiny little section for hamster stuffs only. Sometime brought my hammie stuffs at pets wonderland.

Yeah. More active already. No sneezing  biggrin.gif I think its the bedding

Good to heard that your hammie are alright already rclxms.gif

Might be the bedding problem. It got a very strong smells. I have removed the bedding too. That's why everytime you change a new bedding be sure to buy a smaller pack to test. Even if throw away also wont cost much and may i know what brand of hamster bottle that you are using? is it delikate too? Wish your hammie all the best smile.gif

Is it possible if you could provide us some photo of your ham? Anyway just for ref do your ham show any sign of these?

•Lethargy
•Loss of appetite
•Failure to groom
•Excessively watery diarrhea
•Dehydration
•Dull, sunken eyes
•Irritability
•Hunched posture while sitting or walking
•Abdominal discomfort
•Protruding rectum from constant straining
•Blood in the stool or around the anus in very serious cases

Do you recently change his diet? Or fed him too many vege & fruits? Does your ham show any sign of excessively scratching or grooming? cos i saw that you written "too much scratching or something". I'm sorry to tell your ham are an elder ham. Is there any another choice of changing a different vet who are more into exotic/rodent animal? Does your vet prescribe antibiotic? Anyway does your ham look like this?

hmm i'm not so certain of the symptoms as i'm at work and i only observe him at night but i know the way he walks is funny, like hard to walk, or reach for the water bottle.. rectum protuding more than the last time he is healthy.. no blood on stool so far, seems weak, as for the picture.. its more like half his lower body is usually wet,, but not really wet till dripping.. but rather wet.. not sure if he is sleeping n his own pee or dragging his lower body across his own pee.. cuz he always sweeps away the bedding  and pee/sleep there.

vet didnt give him anything cuz that day he went to see the vet he seems normal.. but just gave me some vitamin drops.. but after come back from vet same prob again.. haih maybe i should bring to another vet. any around pj?

at office now.. later go home i take pic

Look like your guy are very weak. Try to put his water bottle & food dish near to his house or hideout so that he wont be difficult in reaching those. Also you might wanna fed him some protein food like plain tofu. Remember plain smooth tofu & not egg tofu. Twice per week should be enough. Also you might need to check his teeth. I might afraid if his teeth is overgrown then he wont be able to chew his foods. That time you might need to bring him to vet. to have his teeth to be trim. Also u might need to fed him soft food like plain tofu, baby food.

As for the vet around PJ i heard some positive review of Hand N Paws. You can refer here for reference:-

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/264418

However beside that do your ham show any sign of the below?

-Started sleeping more than usual.
-Started sleeping on his wheel after using it a while
-Started eating less than usual
-Stop eating food that needs extra work such as sunflower seed.
-Stop digging the bedding to cover his house even if I used air con.
-Doesn't come out at 12am often
-Stopped using the wheel
-Stop climbing on the house or wooden bridge
-Couldn't stand anymore, like in the alert state
-keep faling down even when eating, like starting to lose balance
-back legs dosent work properly anymore, like sometimes he drag his behind leg like its injured or something but its not. More like being limped.


These are the sign of old aging ham. I'm not sure if the wetness cause by his pee or other reason. But some ham like to sleep in their pee but however if the wetness are cause by the pee.. yellowish color can be see at his fur when there are wetness. Do update us on your little guy. Hope your little guy recover a.s.a.p.
