Use Prestige or Sluis. Mix both together also can.

The ingredient is quite good also wat....

not really need to stick to branded food

hahahaha

The ingredients are quite limited, actually. Might not be enough. If I were you I'd stick to the more trusted brands. Plus, your hamster can't complain if the food is bad right? Since it's the only food available in the cage, no choice but to eat lor.

PS: To all those people who say 'Well, since my ham/gerb/rat/mouse/dog etc eats it without a problem, the food must be ok la.' I hear this statement A LOT. But when I look at their animals, they look very scrawny or undernourished. Some people also think it's normal for them to look like that.

Your pet can't complain. It's like feeding your ravenous dog trusty or pedigree. They will eat what you give them simply because there is no other choice for them. Some pets even try to eat stuff that's not edible due to lack of nutrition.

Vary their diet and rotate brands or change something in it once in awhile. It would improve the quality of life of your pet and they will receive a much more rounded and sound nutrition.

then i think when i go to m.valley 2moro , try to look for prestige and mix it up with my current hamster mix food ....still got a lot and duwan to waste it

ya , i also think my hammies dun like the food , coz they seem like choose the mix food they eat....

lol
Pet's Wonderland doesn't stock Prestige. Got Sluis, but old stock.

Pet Safari has both.

It's normal for them to pick and choose. You'll have to leave it there for a few days for them to eat at least 2/3 of the food.

how about habitrail?? im using it... izzit good?

It's the best value for money mix out there. It's used widely as a basic, nothing more.

all sifuu, wat kind of fruits tat u all feed ur hammy ahh??? thnx in advance

didnt buy yet...
busy with studies 4 exam..later will buy laa

Today went to Petaling Street... Petsmore got supply for Sluis and Prestige.... and the other shop down the road got many cheap wheels. Also some new stock of Syrian hamsters... their winter whites and robos look sickly but Syrians active and better looking since stock just arrived.

Edit:

Hamsters can eat a wide variety of fruits and vege. Just be sure no sour fruits and no herb and spice vege.... I like to give mine cucumbers, carrot, apple, jambu, sawi, spinach, coral lettuce, lil bit cabbage( Do not give chinese cabbage), pear....

It's a longhaired sable banded!!!

Petsmore selling it for rm7.50, near petsmore walk up ahead to jln sultan (near the junction to MABA) a pet shop selling it for 5.50/ 5.90...
My office nearby, usually go to either shop during lunch hour to get my hammies food supplies

wanna ask is it ok to put mirrors in the cage?

Can put. As long as there're no sharp edges. But I see no point putting a mirror for hamsters, birds maybe, not hamsters.

Mirrors, whatever for? ^^ Better place wood chews and toys for em. Anyone needs a pink hide toy for hams? Not using it, maybe available for trade since my Pearls prefer the coconut husks.

icic, sifuuu thnx alot, bcos me not very sure about which can give even i search thru net, better consult those sifuu hv xperience one ma, i dont wan my hammy sick ma thnx again

One week cucumber, the next apple, then carrot, then pear. Should be safe. Veg is a little wet for me, so I prefer those dry treats like carrots.
