I was well informed about that by a Pets Wonderland staff.... just thinking whether WW species can be mix or not...

well many ppl here mix diff ww together.. like pearl and agouti, pearl and pudding etc.. the important thing is that you have to monitor them.. especially at night when they are active. make sure they're not trying to kill each other.

Pets Wonderland stuff do not know anything.... all the know is hamster come from Holland.... it is really true.

Cinnamon Pearl.... and they told you Winter White?

Coz there is no such thing as Cinnamon Pearl in Winter Whites....

Anyway, there is a risk fighting. Hamsters have short term memory so you will only think it is sad now since we always put human emotions together with our pets.

It will not be lonely. It will actually live healthier and longer. Keeping in a pair, especially breeding pair may stress and cause some health problems to your hamster later. I mean, females can breed every 18 days... give birth to about 6 babies average... are you ready for that? Once the babies are about 5 to 6 weeks old you must seperate or there will be a chance of inbreeding....

Also, another fact about the Holland stock from Pets Wonderland.... many of the animals are related and inbred......so if you bought a male and female from the same shop... you are letting maybe a brother and sister breeding.... not very ethical rite?

Pets Wonderland's only aim is to sell pets.... their staff has very little knowledge. What they do is give their staff a small briefing on the animals they are in charge or print out the most basic and easiest caresheet to remember.... and like all basic caresheets, they do not explain about breeding or species properly.

Added on March 8, 2007, 8:23 pmJust to add... Winter Whites only come in Agouti, Pearl and Sapphire... those are the pure WW colours...

The hybrid colours are Puddings(Gold) and Mushroom/ Yellow Blue.... these are a mixbreed between WW and campbell... not a very safe way to produce these colours if you have a WW and campbell... People have done research and tested a lot of hamster generations to produce Puddings and Yellow Blues.

Also, PetsWonderland tend to mislable their stock.... Russian Zebra hamster? Wahhh... sounds exotic rite? It is in fact just normal winter white Agouti.. but the price around RM60? Too high lah.... can get from breeder, healthier and cheaper too.

lek la syrian, dont be like that ok..
maybe people here didnt notice your question..
i dont know the exactly answer for yuor question actually..
thats why keep silent..


the_catacombs, i think, her latest question before either:
or,

Re Syrian : regarding the ous thing.....I din get that on my hamsters, so really dunno how to deal wif it. Since the pus is in the nose hole, u cant do much, cant apply any medicine. The best way is bring it to the vet loh................
R u using wire cage or tank? I think ur hamster got hurt while biting the wire cage, or mayb becoz of the bedding, sensitive nose loh......
So the best thing is change to a tank, try change the bedding also, see got improvement or not.
As long as its eating and playing actively, then its ok. If u notice that he is weak, lazy, not eating much, bring to vet loh...

@crazymouse


so basically whoever bought their hamster at Pet Wonderland all have been con? Ok seems that you have made everything clear....Cinnamon Pearl are not WW at all, which species are they from? ....so they are half breed? sorry i'm kinda new to this...

not all la bro... juz a few bunch of people who like to have pets but lack of information and knowledge about them... at least when u know some basic thing, u may find the right pets...

p/s: experienced this before when i bought my 1st serama chicken at petshop (in 2001)... i turned out to be a mixed serama chicken... when asked the owner, she said " ini serama la apa lagi... tengok dia punya ekor naik apa...?" ... served me right for not having the knowledge...

cannot la...i only had one ww male..the one and only bucky..
previously had two,then i sold one heheh

somestime people dont realize the question..
or dont know the answers..
cheers...

yups..
absolutely right..
i also has experience cheated by petshop..
she told me the two rabbits i bought were male and female
but the true is both were females..

damn and i'm one of them...
