QUOTE(anizarina @ Apr 11 2007, 12:43 PM) QUOTE(joanalooidog @ Apr 11 2007, 02:07 PM) personally i think that the mushroom type water bottle not that good loh.....still prefer the normal bottle. The mushroom bottle uses pressure principle.. so there is a fixed level of water at the bottom there. However if your hammi is so dumb like mine to keep trying to bite off the sides, the water will end up leaking because the water level is higher than the container's. -.-" Now it's almost leaking alrd.. I think a few months later I need to change.. or perhaps.. week.. if he continues biting like mad. |

OMG!! Why is she cannibalising her pups???? Earlier on, i saw left 7 pups and now she's still eating the pups. I didn't hear any sound from the pup. Could it be she's eating the "previous dead" pup OR shes' eating the "living pup" ?????? No one kacau her ler . why she cannibalise ???  |

Normally what do you feed her? And the pups that are being eaten, are they alive or dead?

Normally, i feed her with hamster mix, mealworms and some kibble. Sometimes if got boil chicken, then will give to her too lor. I jz noticed she was eating the dead pup. Still got 7 alive. In total got 8. Phew~  . I thot she was cannibalising the living pups again. And I noticed the pup she cannibalised was actually the smallest size one. The rest are like getting bigger a bit. |

no more eating. I jz put some mealworms on a bowl and put in her tank slowly and without any sound. She's sleeping now - baru habis eating the dead pinky. I think the pup she ate shud be the unhealthy one coz da size is the smallest among all its siblings.

ya .. that one maybe not healthy one , so she ate her up. By the way anizarina, don't buy the mushroom bottle just for the sake of the pups. The pups will not be able to reach at all coz the walls are actually quite high. I don't think ur pup will be able to reach it. Even my robos need to stand up to drink from that mushoom like bottle. It'll be a waste of money. But wud other solutions, i have no idea. Maybe wait for reanne or crazymouse's reply coz they have experience ady  . |

Hopefully the rest will be fine. Its not unusual for a ham to eat dead or weak pups, its their way of gaining back lost nutrition and clearing the nest.

QUOTE(anizarina @ Apr 11 2007, 12:43 PM) Do not get the mushroom bottle... there was a case where a baby hamster that fell in and drown. Also, it is not practical. Wood shavings and dust get into the water, causing it to be a very good breeding ground for bacteria... can make a hamster become sick. Just stick to normal bottles.... |

They will only start on water once they are fully weaned off milk. So just let it be. For now can let the pups test their taste buds. Can place some vegie with high water content like turnip or cucumber, just a small slice to let them try out. There is nothing to worry about water since hamsters and rats can go longer without water than a camel. |
