Hello people! Meet my three boys; Pepper, Rowdy & Snow. They are rough, cuz' they are boys!

Rowdy - The fat, naughty, food stealer hammy, a lil bit coward sometimes.
Pepper - The gentle, friendly and calm hammy, the manja boy.
Snow - The coward among my boys, but not at all when it's mealworm time. His fur are the prettiest as it's thick and soft.

Oh boy, do they love mealworms so much.


Occasional wrestling time, in this pic, Rowdy was smothered by tag team Snow & Pepper.

OMG, that's sad!

Here are possible causes for black tummies:
1. Wet Tail (bacterial stomach infection)
2. Overfed makes the hamster sick
3. Diabetes (food may contain high sugar contain)
4. Old age (when hammies died the blood clogged to it's tummy)
5. Cold by temperature (air-cons)

I don't know Muar much but you can purchase good quality hamster food in KL and just post it back to your sister as a solution.

I think your hammies have infection or genital bacteria bro. Go to the vet ASAP! I'm not sure bout melaka's vets though

Maybe she's just sleep walking. My hammies are sleep walkers too. When they are on heavy sleep, my Rowdy likes to walk around the cage with eyes closed and buried his head under the beddings then move around making a mess. Then, he get up from bedding and sleep like in a coma. Haha that's weird.

I think it should be ok. If she's comfortable with you, means she's confident with you.

First of all, there are are many reasons why the mother eat the pups:
1. First time mother, so she doesn't know how to take care the pups
2. The pups unfit for living - not healthy or weak pups
3. Bad genes
4. Lack of nutrition - the mother does not have enough nutrition so she ate the babies to get nutrition
5. The mother feels unsafe of the environment

and some others possible reasons.

From my own experience, only the mother will kill the pups, the daddy won't do anything, in fact the daddy is the one who takes care. I remember when the pups died, the mommy just do normal things (running wheels etc.) while the daddy collect all the dead pups in one place and buried it. But as a precautions, it is better to separate the daddy. My hammy ate all her babies on first birth, ate 4 of pups on second birth and ate only one on third birth. It's like the more the mommy gave birth, the more experience she gets to take care of pups.

Is your mommy hammy first time have babies?

My little fatty, Pepper, had to be taken to see a vet last Saturday. He has some kind of rash at the side of his left cheek and appears swollen. Vet checked and said he is over-stuffing food in his cheek, then uses his legs to scratch it to push the food. The funny thing is the vet help him to vomit out all the food, went inside to mix some meds solution for him. While waiting I put him back to the carrier box (where he vomit the food earlier on). About 5 mins later, the vet came back to give him a drop of antibiotic, I realized that the food that he vomited was gone. I thought that maybe it falls on the side of the box or something. The vet grabbed him and wanted to drop the solution in his mouth, this greedy fatty vomit back all the food he just vomited. Haha, now I know how greedy is a hammy.

I went to USJ Animal Clinic at USJ 8, Subang Jaya. The doc had a hard time to measure the correct amount of antibiotics for my little fatty. Cuz she said too much could kill, the hammie's too small. She gotta mix the normal animal antibiotics with some water to dilute it. Gave me a syringe full of the solution and only feed my hammie once a week. Afraid the dosage too much. Haha

I got some questions;

1. Is offering timothy hay a good idea for hammies?
2. I'm thinking of switching my wood bedding to paper bedding. Used it before but can't tahan the price monthly, that's why using wood bedding. Any suggestion for cheaper and less harmful alternatives?

Excellent. The vet, rather looks surprised when I came with my hammie and said it is seldom people bring hammie for medical attention. But she is very knowledgeable about hamsters, hamster type and possible diseases. She knows how to hold my hammie well as it didn't struggle when she tries to drop the antibiotic into its mouth (could be possible that my hammie never rejects anything when it comes to food). She even taught me how to drop the meds on my own. Charged me RM35 but for me it's ok since it's a seldom occurrence. I head that in US usually hammie owners bring their hammies to vet for yearly check-ups and they didn't even care the cost. Thanks for your tips; Imma make my own paper beddings, like school project before.

I have one hammie named Pepper, he's getting slow and slower, and skinny too. His fur is still in goo condition. Is he becoming old? I'm sad cuz he is my first ever tamed hammie. Aged about 1.5 yo

And one more thing, anyone knows the best method to stop hammies from fighting? My two hammies are male, but one is bigger fatter than the other, and they fight a lot until blood spills. Now separating them, which is quite sad they look lonely. Anyone knows the best method?

about 1.5 yo robo hammies.

They're robos. So should I just left them all alone by themselves? Really kesian. Try to introduce them back but still fighting.

Thanks for the advice. I'm so sad my hammie is slower weaker now, I think old age is really giving him hard.

Izzit normal for old hammies to breath heavily? I'm sorry to hear that, hammies are really a good pet.

Hey guys, today my most favorite robo, Pepper, died peacefully because of old age. He is around 1 1/2 years old to date. So sad because among all the robos I have, he is the most friendly and tame, not afraid by human, and always calm. He is the first robo I ever got.

From the moment I saw him in pet shop, I already knew he is gonna be my best pet friend. Always accompany me, and always come back to me when I called his name. And so, I buried him right in front of my house, under a tree. Now I've lost a good friend, my first pet hammie and my little angel.

I always knew he is suffering of old age. He starts to get slow and easily tired. He eat lesser than usual, become thinner. He also breathes heavily like it is hard to breathe. But he always recognizes me, always likes to get on my palm and let me stroke his back gently.

Now I'm gonna miss his sweet friendly face every morning. He always knows when I'm coming to his cage and always excited to see me.

R.I.P Pepper, 2012-2013. I always love you. I hope I've always been a good pet owner to you, as you being a lovely pet for me.
