hello everyone can I know how to identify what type r my hamsters? I just bought them for few weeks.. and now they keep fighting... like everyday.. I'm not sure they are fighting or playing. I checked once a while but no physical wounds on their body.. Ah.. and not to mention that one of them really likes to bite me.. was he psychologically hurt?

Dear hammie seniors,

I just started having a syrian hamster yesterday. She/he was really cute (forgot to ask about the gender). But when I firstly put it into the cage (2nd hand cage from my sister's friend), the hamster ran around the cage, i guess becuase he/she wanted to get use to it. Today when i woke up, i noticed he/she still sleeping, until 4:00pm when I came back from class, still sleeping. Until 7pm he/she wokeup and finding food. I'd like to know if sleeping for such a long hour is normal for a Syrian hamster?

Secondly, this darling hamster of mine don't want to be caught, he/she keep running around when i tried to hold him/her. I'm afraid to squeeze him/her too tight, but everything, he/she just slip out of my hand. HWhat should I do? The hamster seems to be afraid of me...

Your help is very much being appreciated. Thank you!!

i m not so sure about female heat. but some people say got smell..so if u can smell something different then u know la...or if she is in heat & u introduce your male hamster to her, he will start licking & do his job...depends tho...but i wouldnt advice u to breed tho or intro your male hamster to her. u will need to do lots of research first before start breeding & make sure u can provide each of them separate cage & accessories...

cool...another syrian owner well its normal, they want to explore around their new environment. & about the sleeping issue...its normal...hamster sleeps a lot...usually they are active after 12am till morning. u got wheel already? u can try to put the cage in your room & sleep today. later middle of the night your hamster will wake u up...they will run in their wheel etc...

its still new...let your hamster get used to the new environment first....they might sleep more because stress....new environment & all....let them settle down for 1 week....if u can wake up middle of the night u can see...your hamster should be active at that time...& it takes time to tame your hamster...first time handling your hamster is like that...they are afraid of your hand & scent...he/she might even bite you if he feels threatened.

1) just start slowly...intro your hand to your hamster first basically u want to intro your natural scent to him(try not to have any perfume or wash your hand before u intro...got soap smell)....& dont carry him first!
2) then start giving him/her treats using your hand (sunflower seed can be used as treats)....
3)then slowly let him climb on your hand...u can do all this slowly slowly...after 2-3days proceed with next step...dont do all at one time....everything need to be done slowly so that your hamster wont feel scared

Ouh... thank you very much... yea, i've bought a big wheel for him/her... It's quite sad seeing him/her running away from my hand. I'll get aquaintance with him/her slowly. Thank you again for your kind help.

Juz take it slowly...my gf get 1 WW few weeks ago..and keep it in hers room..the hamster sleep on noon and wake up at night to play wheel..the hamster wake up whenever my gf off the light...sometime my gf wan play with her at noon..she will wake the hamster up....

ur hamster keep run away from u mayb ur hamster is new to u...my gf even kena bite twice when it is new..so becareful ya...damn pain..like injection..base on my gf description...haha...

but i also gt 1 problem facing..y the hamster will keep food on her mouth??...gt few time my gf notice she keep taking the food from dunno where she store the food and keep eat...and gt 2 times she spit out on bedding and it is stink...it is not vomit...

I have 3 Male WW Hamsters ! All have their own palace !!
Living life to the fullest

its normal...its called hoarding...hamster love to hoard their food...in the wild they usually go out at night to find food...they will travel here & there & collect as much food as possible & store in their pouch. later when they reach back to their home they will remove it, eat a little & store the rest. so its their natural behavior...we cant change that...mine also do that....

same goes with bedding...they collect it in their pouch & remove it later in their house & arrange it...they are making their bed more comfortable i guess... but i do not have any smell problem...usually whatever they horde & remove is still dry...its possible to kena a little saliva but usually no smell maybe your gf hamster store it too long in the pouch? but their pouch usually dry one or little moist only... or maybe the smell is another source? hamster pee in their house?

haha normal hamster behaviour la all this

hamsters are active and will only wake up between 7pm to 11pm
waking them up during noon is actually not recommended
yeah some will say my hamster tame wont bite and all
but common.. if you sleeping 3 am i come wake you up?
actually not a good thing for hamsters

hoarding is perfectly normal
stink should be from pee
check the four corners of your tank and see if there is a stained area
buy a toilet and toilet train him
syrians are easy to toilet train
very clean animals

like i've advised many other hamster owners over and over again
it is highly not recommended to breed your hamster
if you bought 2 from same pet shop.. might have inbreed cases
mummy hamster mihgt eat baby hamster
mummy might kill daddy
mummy might die in labour

if the babies are successful, you need to sex them
seperate them according to their gender and make sure they never mate
inbreed cases
if syrian babies, need to have each one 2ft tank + 8" wheel
bout 100 ringgit each baby

way to make your hamster more tame at the beginning
wear a clean t-shirt and sleep in it for one night
throw it over your hamsters tank the next day when he sleeping

My hamster been peeing alot at the side of the cage. Its like super wet at that area and i did put alot bedding. I took a spoon and remove the wet bedding part , lucky the babies on the other corner. So now she started to drink and wet the bedding again.

Can i add more bedding? Mine is chipsi scented apple.. Or shud i just leave it alone?

I'm afraid got fungus will grow. i even see flies trying to get inside already

Thanks!!! I'll try to give him/her the best i can... And now my cat is jealous whenever i go near the hamster. The hamster gets to stay indoor, but the kitty have to stay outdoor. Kesian... But both gets premium food... Huu...

it will be better if u buy a toilet & start toilet train her. once she is toilet train it will be very easy to clean it...just replace the toilet litter when needed.

u can add more bedding if u want but not too much till she have to dig to pee...they need to feel comfortable....its better if u change the bedding every time if its possible....but honestly better toilet train your hamster...toilet litter absorb pee better than bedding.

ooh i see. Actually she is toilet trained , i put in a small house and she pee inside there only and outside of the house. i removed the toilet coz i tot the sand not good for the babies.

Thanks aswen.
