Never buy stuff from there & boycott the shop. You guys will be supporting them in a way even though you just buy supplies from there.

As for discussion why PLC is more expensive, I believe is due to maintenance cost. Just look at the cage they keep the hamsters, always full with food, water & fresh bedding. I never see any injured/sick hamsters in there as well unlike petsmore. On top of that they are using homefriends bedding eventhough they got cheap bedding in stock. This shows that they ensure the hamster lives in an excellent environment. I am referring to sunway pyramid branch, not sure about others.

Empire (subang) petsmore on the other hand stinks, bedding wet with pee. Can sometimes see sick hamsters in it & they uses cheap bedding which is actually not very suitable for baby hamsters. Worst is they dont even have wheel in the cage. This is my experience for the past few months ago, not sure about now coz never been to petsmore for quite some time.

I would advise not to change so often because when you change the bedding, the hamster lost his scent on his stuff therefore it started marking again. The more often you change, the more it will mark therefore causing worse smell.

How big is your cage and how much bedding do you use? You can clean it weekly or bi weekly if there's more bedding.

Is your hamster male or female? Does it smell strongly of pee or it's scent?

Guys is this amount of food (daily) enough? I put my earphone as a size comparison. This is from Vitakraft.
I only give my girl one kuaci a day, not sure if the small little seeds are contributing to her fats.

Oh and my hammie's suddenly getting obese ><
When I lifted her little Hippo room, I found out there's A LOT of kuaci inside.
It's not really possible cuz, for the past week I feed her only 1 kuaci daily, broken into 3 pieces. and I've cleaned the cage last week removing everything. And I don't think they'll store kuaci in their mouth for many many weeks right?
The only thing I suspect is my part-time maid simply give extra food. The first time it happened I screamed to my mom about this issue. Ugh, maids.

vitakraft quality lately I feel not that good anymore...because if you notice it comes with lots of that small seed. The hard type brown colour 1...my hamster rarely touch that last time...

then i switched to hamster nature...its quite good...hamster ate for few weeks but unfortunately pass away due to old age...That amount should be enough for 1 hamster I believe but I usually add a bit more so that he dont think its not enough food so try to save & eat little. You can always reuse the uneaten food as long as its still fresh.

also as for the sunflower seed issue, its possible. Same thing happened to me & found out my sister gave him sunflower seed when I am not around, so I hide my stock

Owh ... my baby eats everything haha. I tried hamster nature before with previous hamsters, might give it another try and see.

This food amount I adjust according to how much leftover there is.
Ah alright. I'll have to start hiding my hamster food everytime the maids come lolol.

I got 1 packet for sale   

One male one female. and the smell i believe its their pee smell.. it's causes by their food? i wonder?

Ok noted i will change their bedding lesser than in that case

reporting in with a syrian she's about 6-8 months old. quite heavy on the Vitakraft diet. But i realised she's been abit picky, always just picks out the seeds or whatever she wants and leaves the rest behind

Ohai! 
Love it when hamsters stay still for photoshoots haha.
Hmmmm, usually if there are still quite a lot of leftovers, I don't refill until a certain extended period, so when they're hungry they'll eat anything (I think).
I've came across an article saying this is to train them to eat everything. :/ Not sure if it really works on all.

Haha! Mine stays very very still 1. Like blur blur like that      but she likes it when i hold her and stroke her head. never move 1
I usually fill her food once every two to three days her dry food la. my mom gives her abit of cucumber, fruits n stuff...

wanna ask, almonds are okay rite? usually i'll give her half an almond once a week. maybe thats why she so fat? i never feed her sunflower seeds .. hehe

another pic of my ah fai~

Have you toilet trained your hamster?
Whenever people say that hamsters are smelly is because of their pee
Toilet train them and they won't be
I used to keep my hamster in my bedroom no smell at all because he was toilet trained and I cleaned his toilet twice a day

Don't change the bedding and clean their house too often
I'm sure you wouldn't like people coming into your room and messing up your place do you?
It causes stress and anxiety in them.
If you notice, hamsters usually groom themselves when you return them into their cage after you clean them.
Hamsters groom for two reason
One: to keep clean. hamsters are extremely clean animals
Two: to deal with stress and anxiety

Hmmm actually i didn't toilet trained my hamster. could you mind teach me how to toilet trained them?

Aaaaah you've got yourself a very still hamster
Almonds ... ah once a week should be fine la. Just dun give the salty or too sweet ones.
