I think this is coz petshops never give proper advice. Some may say sunflower seeds are the best food to give....

Urgh which reminds me in pet safari.. wanna know what I saw in the hamster section?

The worker took out a whole big bag of sunflower seeds to feed the hamsters... it's just... sunflower...seeds..ONLY.. lo

@kembara: Four winter blacks more like it. LOL.. jkjkl

hello, newbie here. i just bought hamsters last 2 weeks, then i found that they dont sleep in the house that i already provide. So, they sleep in the tunnel and keep the food there.

Its ok if i remove the tunnel? and how to know if they are fighting or play?
*
Well here's my opinion. Since they've already 'selected' the tunnel as their home. You might as well leave it there. Shows that it's the most comfortable and safe place for them that's why they chose it.

How many hamsters do you have? Is your cage/tank big? Syrian? Dwarf? Usually when there's that squeeking sound it's fighting. But during the night time when you're asleep they might fight more aggressively. I prefer to keep all my hamsters separated just to be on the save side. The only downside of this is that it's more costly... and don't worry.. as sifu crazymouse and reanne always say.. hamsters are solitary and they won't get lonely living alone.

Welcome to the hamster owners family btw ^^

Bleh? You can actually see the testicals? That's not very common.. usually people check for their scent gland and the distance between the anus and the sex organ.

Hi .. i am new here.. today i have gotten two hamster (winter white) for my wife as valentine gift.. the pet shop owner told me the basics of caring for it.. hope anyone out there kind enuff to answer me few questions..

1. Besides the basics of giving vitamins supplements and plenty of food and drinks.. what other needs does a hamster need?

2. What kind of diseases that hamster are prone too and how u tell whether the hamster is sick or not ( of course that is the last thIng i wan to happen) ? this is just to play it safe just in case if things go bad.. immediate action can take to solve it.. afterall first time keeping hamsters as pet..

3. how big the space required by hamster to live happily? Rite now the cute little ones are in Habitrail MiNi. Plan to extend their running spaces.. suggestions? I will be greatly apprreciate if anyone who are using Habitrail products share their picture of the set up for their love ones..

4. Is there any ideal room temperature that i should watch out for the hamster
( Hamster heat tolerance )?

Million thanks in advance... plan to increase their exercise area a.s.a.p. coz i think its a bit too small for two hamster especially the house but dunno what is the best for my wife's second lover haha kidding ....
*
1. Get Prestige hamster. That's more than enough. Feed them carrots occasionally if you want.
2. prone to? Hmm.. diarrhea, cold, wet tail. Check the nose and the tail whether it's wet or not. You should be able to notice whether they're sick or not based on their activeness.
3. I'm using habitrail mini too. IMO, that cage only suits 1 hamster. What hamster is yours? If it's syrian then it's a big NoNo.. if it's dwarf, then it's not so bad.. but not recommended.
4. Hmmm.. heat tolerance? You obviously don't put it nearby a heat source like air cond compressor, car engine, etc.. of course.. not under the sun as well. I think our malaysian climate should be alright for them as long as there's ventilation and not under the sun.

Most people prefer getting a big tank. It's cheaper and safer. Bigger than cages too. ^^ Welcome to the hamster owners family.

earlier i was saying the hamster was shivering.. Now i understand why they shiver.. coz in office i placed them temporary somewhere in direct blow of the air conditioning and the temperature for the air cond is 16C with 2Hp .. my bad..

hamster can lau sai ar taking meal worms? btw all the tunnels piping out there izzit of a same size (diameter)..

some pic here as a sincere grats for all ur advice  biggrin.gif

my wife and me stayin in USJ 11.. anyone staying nearby also?
*
Haha.. the cage is indeed too small for those 2 little guys. You need a bigger one. That cage will only suit 1 winter white. 2 is a bit too cramped. Yes mealworms is actually used for fish and birds if I'm not mistaken. Won't lau sai so easily wan la.. most of us here feed our hamsters mealworms. Once a week is fine. I have no idea what's superworms though... LOL

i purchase the habitrail mini for rm 80.. donno whether its cheap or expensive.. but pet family in tmn megah ( just came back from there : having dinner there also ) it sell for more expensive..

after come back i cut off one of the lower section metal cage wire to fit in the bottle coz the original water bottle that comes together with it takes too much space.. now with the ori water bottle gone.. it looks more spacious

as you all know the water bottle nozzle unable to fit into the gap in between the wire..

now it works perfectly.. if i saw earlier someone's idea using the suction cup.. i would have also use it instead of cutting the metal.. well what is done is done..

assuming if i get the habitrail space station.. can i connect the two cage together?

i am  pretty much tempted to buy the loft for mini .. but my wife doesnt seems pleased with that idea.. after all its her hamster..

mealworms is the tiny size worms that i used to feed my aros when they are young. superworms (also worms ) but much bigger in size.. 10 x bigger if i am not mistaken.. mealworms 1 cup rm 1.. superworm 1 lunchbox rm 10.

now i feed my aros with crics and feeder fish.. c my wife likes the idea of feeding her hamsters worms or not first  tongue.gif

just check the garage sale.. the item sold ...  wub.gif  doh.gif  blush.gif

Ok forget about the superworms.. those will scare your hamster away.. lol.. mealworms is fine. ^^

yEs, you can give a bit. But make sure no onion, ginger or garlic in it ah... coz small bits of spices or those root vegie can make hamster die... so read the ingredients... Well, maybe you can list down the ingredients here.
2 to 3 years. Average would be 3 years. Minimal care then 2 years only.

Root veggie? Isn't carrot also a root veggie?
