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

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.

haha is that zorro? Nice robo u have there .


White ate 2 of her babies today.. I left the bodies there... I heard that i should leave it there so she can eat it to provide more nourishment for her other pups.. One of it she ate all the intestine.. another one she just bite it 1 time.. AIYAH. SO SCARY D: hope she dont eat her other 5 pups.

-I added a bowl of harry hamster food fresh everyday + superworm. Apparently she only eats the superworm @@.
-Added toilet.
-Changed bedding.

Well the vet says it may be the baby bite the nipple too hard , and that is a scab. Cant wait for baby's eyes to open tomorrow!

Now the scab thing no more le. Its like a big hole scare get infection.

My batch is ready to let go in 1 and 1/2 weeks

mine open their eye on the 11th day . Today is the 13th day and all open eyes already.

u can buy some wood toy. I use that and my hamsters bite on it. Or buy mineral rock for them.

They said that robo are hardest to breed, they only breed in springtime . so its best if u make the temperature same as overseas springtime or smth.



Here are my cute little babies <3. Trying to eat superworm and just opened eyes.

the superworm , the mama bite the head off , then it died. then the baby go rampas it from mama @@

i do know the difference between a superworm and mealworm. It is indeed a superworm. When its head gets chewed off by mama , they will shrink a little.

And i give the mama smaller size superworm because the bigger size one are for my hedgehog.

Buy vitacraft or harry hamster. Harry hamster is more suitable for syrians , but i use that for my ww. With that , ur hamster will have a balanced diet.

I feed mine with worms because she's having babies . Worms provide more protein for her to supply milk to the babies.

Well it is safe to clean it. I suggest u to use a spoon , scoop out the wet bedding , then put in clean bedding.

When my ww was pregnant , she pee on the bedding so much till i was worried. That was when the pups were 5 days old. I just removed the wet part of the bedding and added in new bedding to mix with the old bedding.

I also added a toilet , and she only pees inside there which is more convenient to clean , and i put bedding inside , not sand. The next day , the toilet will be filled with pee.

still consider in breeding. Cause would have few similiar genes

Did u change the bedding suddenly? Or did u use quite long time?
Maybe its irritation and the hamster bite the fur.
How old are they? It may be old age.
If its mites , it can attack both ww , but it depends.



Babies in food bowl! Count how many!

well maybe your hamster not suitable with chipsi bedding . What brand u use before and after? Did u see your hamster fight? Remember there are type of vege that not suitable for hamster to eat. Check up on the first post to check

My baby hamster escape from the cage. Omg I dunno how they escape but I'm lucky whenever I find it. One, when my dad lying down on floor something fluffy touch his stomach. Two , today I come back from tuition and it was at the window there. Scared me! And three , baby bleach escape to my antisocial gold cage and got bitten on the head.... I think can see bone... The skin can move..

buy formulated milk to feed the babies if u dunwan mom to feed it. But it is very troublesome coz u need to feed them every few hours.. What brand bedding u use?

Copy and paste from website.

At 10 days or sooner they will begin crawling out of the nest. Their eyes and ears are not open yet, but they follow their sense of smell to find food. When they do this, you may want to begin feeding enough greens and fruits for them also, but chop them up in very small pieces to make it easier for them. If they don’t have that moist food and only eat their mother's dry food, they will dry up her milk supply, especially with a very large litter. They need the moisture from the fruits and vegetables as well as her milk. You will also want to make sure that the water bottle is low enough for them to reach it now.

Pretty soon, the babies will become rounder and fuzzier, and look more like hamsters. They can be weaned as early as 18 days, but it is better to keep them with the mother for 28-30 days. Males can be taken away a little sooner. These babies are 3 weeks old (21 days), and this is when I usually separate the males from the mother and the rest of the litter.


Just to let u know , i separated my male babies from the mother at 20 days old. Females at 23 days old. But it is winter white. I think u can separate ur babies from mom already. Have they opened their eyes yet?

cute .

hmm.. my winter gold hamster , despite i give it bathing sand and everything , her fur is so dirty oily like-ish..

My other hamster without bathing sand also more clean than her. pffttt..

What shud i do next? bath her? -sarcasm-

Well i saw before in petsmore , tried to 'run' on it with my fingers but didnt like it. of coz hamster will know how to play it. But i prefer using the Rm7.50 mini wheel with stand.

Im sorry for u loss . In a litter , u have to know that not all 100% of the babies will survive. Just like my hamster litter ,5 out of 7 of them survived. I am no expert in syrian hamsters , but whenever i go to pet shops , the eyes of the babies will mostly be closed. Dont worry , my first time having hamster babies , the mother eat all of them . I was 10 year old that time , so blur about hamster.

About the greens and fruits , its okay if u give in small amount , not everyday . Its like we cant eat durian everyday right xD.

I guess u can feed apple. Not sure about cantaloupe or honey dew . I fed mine with apple. U can give them some carrots too , or u can take bread , soak abit milk and give ur hammie to eat.

Perhaps ur hammie was fighting with each other. Is your box too small? I heard that syrians are solitary and prefer to go solo.

My wheel is RM7.50 in petsmore. Go find it up. Or go to some random pet shop , sometime they sell silent wheel about RM11

Good luck with ur babies

True , but i put some oil there so not noisy
