Yesterday afternoon my bf bought a new Robo home so my current Robo not so lonely.. Although they didnt fight at daytime but at night when I took the cage up into my room when I sleep, besides the new wheel being noisy (bought a new wheel because the new Robo seems to be dominant over the current wheel in the cage and the old Robo looks so kelian cuz no wheel to play), I heard them both giving that 'chit chit chit' sound once in a while.. each 'chit' sound around few seconds only.. Im wondering, r they fighting over the wheel or something like that ? it's not long 'chit' sound, but did have a few times they 'chit'.. perhaps they just too new to each other yet and being territorial? both are males by the way...

Today they did get along well.. no more 'chit chit' sound..

Experts can help me out ?

hahaha.. Ya loh... actually I had another female Robo at home but she passed away yesterday morning, so my bf bought me a new one. Her 'partner' I can see that is still quite young, and the new one is older as his size is twice bigger also.. The minute I introduced them both, the new one already took over the wheel.. left the smaller one alone, wanna climb into the wheel to play also kept falling off...

dont know wanna laugh or feel bad for the younger Robo.. Maybe he felt intimidated.. both also males.. possible both also trying to be dominating rite ?

Wah.. after separate them will u need to separate them forever ?

I just added one more Robo to my group of 3... the minute I put the fatso in, WW3 started! at first they were just chasing each other and each one rolled upon others so fast I couldnt even recognise which is which..

End up, chit non stop... i saw the fierce one! He was chasing everyone in the cage, not recognising who his friends were.... end up I realise he kept chasing off the new addition (fatso) into 1 tube and whenever the fatso came out of the tube the fierce one went and attack him.. in the end, while they both were fighting i just had to split them apart and hold the poor little fatso up and guess what, the fierce buddy was still biting the fatso

I found fatso with a wound on his ass... aih... poor fella... now alone in another cage.. tomorrow gonna bring him see vet liao

Yeah... i can understand how you felt when you witness them tearing each other apart

Now the fatso in another cage... Looks so depressed aih ~

I think we better just accept the fact that we can do nothing as this is just a part of hamsters nature.. we do what we can... but still love them as they are our pet since we decided in the first place that we gonna keep them and give them a good life

Any idea on Clorox Wipes (those tissue-like wipes that can be found at supermarkets)?

i see i see.. okie dokie

Bring to vet yeah

OMG! My hamster just gave birth to 3 babies!

OK this is definitely a mistake from the petshop.. when I bought them I didnt really intend to breed this time.. so I bought all males.. at least they told me all are males... Now.. I realised I got a female @.@

No wonder last night I saw my male humping the other one (female)... I thought he was gender confused lol..

Anyway, Im glad the male didnt eat up the babes and the female also didnt do it.. I spotted them when I saw both inside their house with pinkish babes moving under the female's tummy.. No wonder the female suddenly grew very fat I thought I fed them too much haha.. now the male is inside another temporary container while the mamiz is playing the wheel.. gonna get a new cage tonite !

Im a proud mom !!

Haha.. thank you very much~ I took out everything dee, the only thing in the cage are the food bowl , water bottle, and her nest house.. she ah very notti, always left the pups wriggling here and there.. while she went around and climb here climb there.. dig burrows all the way.. sometimes she just 'burried' her pups due to her digging and looked here and there , like wondering 'huh? where r my pups?' then she finally found them after another few session of digging and then she milked them

The dad is now very proud of himself.. kept showing off his 'thing' after grooming 'it'

Hey your little chubster.. very cute

BTW i couldnt find the brands suggested for nursing hamsters like the ones mentioned on page 1 of this thread... PLC dun bring them in anymore izit ? I ended up getting another pack of Vitakraft Menu Vital.. can be good for her too yea ?

OKay.. another reason for me to get mealworms.. I tried to persuade myself to get mealworms for my sugar gliders but the thought of ickiness shut it off lol
So, you guys normally use fingers to hold the worms then another hand hold the blade to cut the head off isit ? do they have 'liquid' squirt out ah after u cut off the heads?
Gonna get mealworms later.. can I ask how many mealworms do you normally feed a nursing hammie? And how often per day? Everyday?

Thanks!

Ooo icic... i was telling my bf i better prepare all the ka chang and he laughed at me.. then i said if i can i breed! then he lol cuz I never liked to touch worms but im doing it for the pets at home

Anyway, I went to the petshop and ask just now, he said 1 cup of mealworms RM1.. but too bad today no stock, only tomorrow got stock.. i better go Pet Family tonite hopefully they have mealworms for me

I did a small research just now, some say 1 mealworm a day, then i saw LYN here, pictures of few mealworms inside a container which the female hammie is in.. lol
Will continue to research

Lucky you, nutritions ready available
