Yes, pine is harmful. If a hamster living on pine dies, and you disect the body, you can find the lungs and liver already deformed from disease.

You can use Chipsi Super. Or Chipsi Extra.... another good bedding can be used is corn cob bedding.

Cat litter... not all cat litter is good... coz some hammies may consume the litter coz mistaken for minerals... anyway, get hold of Woody Pet. It is a good bedding for hamsters.

i'm using delikate soft wood shavings... although its did not stated of pine or what, I assumed its pine as same color & look with other brand using pine shaving. Ministry of Pets forumers recommended Breeder's choice cat litter as bedding since it's made of recycle paper & organic, but expensive for 2l = RM21.90. Other cat litter from japan just cost RM15.00 for 5l but not sure can use or not.

Came across woody pet... can use meh? The hammies won't eat them? will choose if it is safe coz cheaper than breeder's choice cat litter - thanxs

Woody pet is safe to use. It is a good bedding lah.... Ya, Delikate never state what wood... same with many other types of bedding. Yes, Breeder's Choice is good but I don't think available in many shops. Stick to Woody Pet lah, hamster won't eat it. I use Woody Pet for my Tortoise.

oh ok ok.. thanks a lot for the advice.. hahaha, yea i'm the one who put them in a container. Now i have a better "cage" for them d..

Good that you got a better cage for them... it doesn't need to be fancy, as long big, it makes the hamster happy heheheh....

not very big la.. hehehe..

yeah... my fat ww just gave birth to 4 fat babies...

btw, there are something here i'll like to ask...

ppl usually give the mother eat boiled egg without the york...
but my hamster donno why she is scare of egg.... =.="
when i gave her, she will act as if she saw a ghost or wat... keep on avoiding da egg...
so, other than egg, wat else i can give her?

If she shuns the egg, give her other stuff like boiled unsalted chicken as treat. Fruits are okay in moderation too.

hun: I wanna see Muffin~!! XD

will the hay harm the dwarf's eye? i mean the end of hay may poke their eyes.

argh!!!!

my WW dunno wat happen... look like sick already.. his abdomen's part no more fur!!!! arh!!! look like swollen already... how come ah? skin desease?

Congrats

You can feed dog kibble. Go and ask for sample packets and feed loh. You can feed cooked chicken and fish also. If possible, a few mealworms a day.

Lah, I got no new pics hahahah.... later lah, you see Muffin boy heheheh....

Well, not really. Hamsters enjoy the comfy feeling of hay as nesting material and chewing material... also, hamsters won't poke themselves.

Hmmm.... I got similar thing.... then I changed the bedding then ok liao. It is either the bedding too dirty or it is allergic to the wood.

crazymouse, i tot dog food usually oily...??? izzit ok for her?

if its ok... my house got 50kg of dog food... haha... rob from my doggy to feed her la... kakakakkkakaa

If it is dog kibble then its perfectly alright coz it's not wet.
