Wohoo.. V14.. reporting in.. Thanks inferno 4 the effort.. =)

@mark: dont use flash when taking picture.. not good for their eyes

i know just that once coz kinda dark n not clear if no flash...

My male hamster chip , been humping , circle , hump , circle , hump for the past 30 minutes non stop with my female ww hamster , white.

hi everyone, im new (obviously)

err, did you touched her babies before? having reared hamsters since i was 5 thought me that if you touch the baby then the mother will most probably eat it. i dont know why but i think its because unfamiliar scent thats not hers on her baby so she thought thats not her baby. therefore, ngap ngap.

im so sorry but dont blame the mummy. i usually put the mummys cage in the corner or simply cover it with kain so that she will feel that her babies are safe. until the babies open their eyes and can eat by themselves.

nvr touch them but i read somewhere that u could at least touch them n change the bedding when they r 2 weeks old...
besides the mom ate him when i was asleep....and b4 i went and took a nap i see both of them sleeping together...
the weird thing is the baby is full of fur d and eye open...its like he can live without the mom d...
its like all a sudden she attack...food wise i give enough food n water...so im clueless why she killed the baby...
and yea the baby sometimes go to the food bowl and eats by himself...not blaming but ermmm kinda pissed for awhile...
was really hoping things would be fine coz its my 1st time having a baby hammie...

i know how you feel because last time mine was also like that. and all i ever did was put sengkuang in the cage. i was only 9 then and saw the mummy munching on all the babies, tinggal the usus part only (usus i think) thats something no one wants to experience.

could be she woke up and was like, whos this? forgot that she gave birth, hehe.

im so sorry for the baby. well, i hope you will get babies again soon and fat fat ones

yea i like chubby2 ones cute and adorable!
feel like *snuggle snuggle snnugle* them...lolz

hahaha ok2 will post my hamster pic if its clear...lolz...
ask others to post their hammy pic as well =P

i lost my male agouti WW...this is the fourth time he escape from his cage...for the last 3 times, i found him under my bed...but this time i think he lost forever...
have been searching for him since 7am...already search everywhere in the house...still cant find him...just hoping he will return when hes hungry...

@noruddin, how did he escape? aren't u using tank cage?how can WW escape?

i separate him from the mother and the babies...i put him into smaller tank...im not really sure how he escape from the tank...i think he climb up his house and jump to the tank edge...but i never saw him jump...never once...

winter white are able to jump quite high. highest jumper is robo la....& syrian is the lowest hahaha coz they are heavy.

anyway try buying some fresh sunflower seed, put it in a container & start blowing at every possible conner. maybe he your hamster smells it he will come out for it. keep your doors close hopefully your hamster havent escape from your house yet.

if u like it, feel free to add these picture at frontpage:







i just got back from work at 7am...when im home my front door is already open...

usually when i got back from work, i will feed my cat(lives outside the house)...but after i pour friskies into the bowl, my cat did not eat it while usually she will eat it all...hmmm i got a really bad feelings about it... hopefully my hamster did not went outside the house...

wow ur WW look so healthy. mine the white colour have black spots =(

btw izit normal for them to drink a lot of water? a lot as in the water bottle is finished within 2 days by only 3 of them

i added your question & the answer into the first page already under 'common questions'. probably normal since you are sharing 1 bottle with 3 hamsters. but do check for other symptoms if u can find out which hamster is the 1 who drinks the most.

@noruddin...thanks..i added the pictures into the first page already

i always check on them. yup only one that constantly drinking water actually. but no blood or anything.

i updated the info again at the first page. well if u know which 1 is keep drinking water constantly u could bring him to the vet for check up. they can test the hamster blood or urine for diabetes. if its urinary bladder infection then maybe a little harder to check...that i m not so sure...the vet should know what to do. Just monitor him in the meanwhile...if its just 1-2days excessive drinking & the other days normal then probably he was just thirsty.

nope...he is that way since birth. now about 6 weeks old. Really non stop drinking, day and night, if I heard hamster drinking water confirm its him. normally how much vet will charge?

btw they really scream a lot, izit normal? i just blow at them from the top of the cage and they can scream non stop for few min lol. first time having WW btw. I do have a few robo and totally no prob with them
