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...

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...

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...

based on my experience...all my WW dosnt like when i blow to them...but they never scream...just wavining their arms(or front legs) giving sign they dont like it...but for your case, i think they are still babies or still new with u, so they are easier getting scared...

here some more pics:

i put shreaded tissue into the tank...they will collect the tissue and put it into their house..they like their house filled with something soft...
owhh, i didnt know that toilet roll not good for them...but so far, theres no problem with my hammies due to toilet roll...can u google it for me what the effects on hammies...if really not good for them ill remove it right away...huhu

im sure your bedding is wet because your hammies pee so much... u said that your hammies drink a lot...surely they will pee a lot too...haha

as far as i know...the toilet roll(brown one) is made of recycle paper only...nothing added...
just put the toilet inside their cage and see if they pee@poo in there...

they have given good tips u need to know...i just want to add some tips based on my experienced+knowledge from others...

my tips is how to choose good hamster...by good, i mean the hamster is tame, easy to handle, not easily scared, can get along with others and most important loves to play with u...

heres the tips:

IMPORTANT
-choose hamster with perfectly match incisor teeth(front teeth)...
-choose hamster without any signs of abnormalities(skin problems, abnormal movements(like alwas running in circles or running in one direction(clockwise or counterclockwise)), wet fur, etc.)
-dont choose hamster that likes to disturb other hamster...

less important
-its is better to buy/adopt hamster from a home breeder than from the pet shop...usually pet shop dont give enough attentions to the hamster they own because they have too many types of pet to take care of...also, usually the pet shop hamster age is 1 or 2 months plus...its is easier for owner and hamster to bond if hamster is still young(3weeks is the youngest)...
-do not choose hamster that always grooming itself...hamsters groom theirself because of 2 reasons...1st to clean theirself and 2nd to relief stress...there is possibility that the hamster that always grooming itself is easily stressed out...
-choose hamster that not running away or hard to catch with your hands...thats mean that the hamster is easily scared or do not thrust human...it has high possibilities that the hamster will not let u hold them with your hands even u already bond with them...
-do not choose skinny hamsters(if u like chubby2 hamster like me )...hamsters are skinny because either they sick, or has small appetite...young fat/chubby hamster will grow even more fater/chubbier


add if u got more...

u worry scented bedding will harm your hammies?..
if u use chipsy scented bedding, u shouldnt be worry...i have used apple scented chipsy bedding for 1 and half month...i used it in the tank where the my WW babies live...all of them seem fine...and they live happily and healty...

im thinking of giving out 1 male baby agouti WW...born on 7/8/11...condition healthy and active...

dont worry...if u think that white is comfortable with u, it should be no problem...as long as she know u and never feels u as a threat, she will not eat her babbies...
whether she thinks that u are a threat or not, try to give her mealworms through the opening of cage from the outside...if she come to u and eat the mealworm as usual, she is confortable with u...

if she acts normally, its ok...u can add food or change water...

last time the next day after my hamster give birth, she climb up my hand when i give her mealworm...then i take her out from the tank...after finish eating mealworms, i put her back in the tank...

im currently take-caring of my gf hamster...she gave me her hamster while she went back to kampung for raya...while she at kampung, her hamster give birth to 6 pups(3rd sept)...her hamster do not like me so much...she like to bite my finger if i hold her...eventhough she do not like me much, she still dont feels any harm from me when i take her out of the cage for mealworms meal...
she likes to bite..but for the sake of eating mealworms she knows that she need to behave like a good girl...

can u show the picture of your hamster...and their size...

Yours is mealworm..superworms is like appoximately 2 inch long..i cut the mealworms in half for the babies..that will make sure the babies not hurt by the mealworms...

My gf kidnapped my Choki(male golden winter white)... really miss him golek2 on his wheel..

I feed my hammies with cashew nuts...its good for us(human), must be good for them too... my hammies love it too

I urgently need someone to adopt my female pearl hamster..she seems cant adapt to live togather with kimo,my golden female..they live togather for about 4 months ang these past 2 weeks, she keeps bullying kimo..i dont have any more tank bcos my gf took away 1 of my tank togather with some hamster..

So anyone intrsted in adopting female pearl winter white, age 5months..please contact me at 0136342861(text me)

hi...It has been a long time since the last time I visit here....

this is kimo..mother of 5 now...


these are my other WW...


@CheeseBeT, its not entirely your fault that 1 of your hamster died...as u said, it happens so fast that u unable to prevent them from fighting...but next time remember this, if u are going to keep more than 1 WW in same place make sure u have enough space for all of them..make sure they feel cozy to live together...if they started to fight, be prepared to buy another cage/tank to saperate them..

thats very normal...that how they live...they are only active late at night...

friends...i want to ask, is it normal if babbies born from pearl(white) WW and gold WW turn out to be agouti(black)@sapphire(grey),im not sure cause their fur is still growing..

here the pix...

that normal behaviour for hamster...they keep food in their pouch..if they dont like it, they will throw it away...hamster always shaking during sleep..
