cost for a Hamster at Pet Safari,

Syrian ---> Rm 20
Winter White Agousti ---> RM20
Robos ---> RM25
Panda ---> RM 30

I would say pet safari maintains their hams better than PW, BUT PW has more space for them compared to PS.

u are right.

I went to PW in midvalley.

The hamster over there is more worse condition.

Yups, a hybird but it is a better hybrid in terms of character and colour than other type of hybrids... and the hybrids have been developed thru many generations already so got quality.... if we simply take a WW and a campbell... then something bad may come out of it...

Those sold at Pet Safari are way too young.... kinda high risk of falling sick....

Panda hamster... it means the colour. It's a black dwarf with a white collar or partly some white on the face and neck... I got 2 from my own breedings heheheh.... and more to come soon. They are actually Russian Campbells...

If you guys ever buy woodshavings.... try and avoid Sluis wood shavings coz it is very dusty. Go for either Chipsi or Delikate or Kaytee since less dust... also avoid Pine and Cedar.

yalo, so young have to put for sale. very pity.

I used to buy Chipsi woodshaving only. Dunno want to try other(for safety reason).

My male Robo is grow about 2 1/2 inch.

Do you think is normal to him?

He got alot of excise.

2.5 inch is like the adult size of a Robo.... actually, they do not go pass 6cm in lenght since Robos are the smallest of all hamster species currently.

Well, you can always give other beddings a try... Corn Cob is good... same as Breeders Select and Woody Pet.

The most important toy for a hamster is the wheel. A wheel gives it excercise and also something to do everyday. Imagine if someone placed a human in a room with nothing but a mattress to sleep, a toilet bowl to pee and poo, and a bowl of food and jug of water..... pitiful also rite? Hahahah... this applies to hamsters. So if you have a wheel in the cage, then it is already good enough excercise for it.

is true lah . PW at midvalley now still renovation . hope will be better than last time lah then. btw is true pet safari hamster corner really smelly , now pet safari there oso close the hamster corner temporately and those hamster switch to reptile corner for the moment =.=

Yaya .. I agree. Avoid sluis if possible. I bought it at Pets Safari long time ago coz it was like the only wood shaving brand they had the last time i was there. So regret after i bought it - very dusty. After this pack, no more buying sluis liao - still got about 1/5 left. After that i'll use chipsi. I bought it at 1U PW couple of months ago and stil unopened yet .. hehe.

Update on my syrian hammie - his pus has totally recovered. I did nothing to it and it recovered itself. He's fine now but how do i make him chubby chubby huh? I bought him for quite some time already and yet he's stil as skinny as usual. What u guys feed ur hamsters to make them chubby ?

i just bought a water bottle for my hamster..and it seems like the water keep on dripping !! izzit normal ?? and will it make the bedding wet and not confortable for my hammy? newbie here!! and i'm using a aquarium as my cage!!

few days ago i bought one water bottle - brandless one (RM4.90 only). The water also kept dripping. Then 2 days ago, i bought one new bottle again from the brand Living World (RM 8.90 or RM 9.90) and it's good. The water din drip at all. I think it's more like "one quality one price" concept. If the water keepts dripping, of coz da bedding would be soaked wet and personally, i think it's uncomfortable for the hammie.

ic...mine i bought for 4.90....no wander la..!! i try to search again!!

no wor, all my bottles r 4.90 those type wor, no driping ah..........

Hahahaha ... must ask them to try out for you first before you pay at the counter. If drip, then don't buy lor. The RM 4.90 one i bought - i didn't try coz i was in a rush to the cineplex. Then got home liao, kept dripping nonstop ar. Then 2 days ago when i bought living world at Pets Family, I asekd them to try the bottle for me before i pay..... hehe.

kk..later i going there and buy another awn..ask them to try for me 1st!!

my hammy..dunno y..likes to sleep very much...and i put him in a air cond room...izzit good...i put the temperature to 24!

err...1 silly question here...

can i feed hams wif cats kibbles and suppliment like nutrigel n omega oil??

had this problem before too
got the cheaper one and it dripped, so went back and bought the living world one, which is good until now

He just bought them? Aiyoh.... must let them get used to each other.... not every hamster will like each other when put them in 1 cage.... if they fight, do not place in the cage but in a tank with a wire mesh barrier... the wire mesh barrier will help to bond the hamsters without hurting themselves.... look at the gerbil's thread 1st page... I think Jaswwp showed a pic of a mesh barrier.

Also, were they the same age? Coz normally adults do not get along.... young ones will.

Many cheap bottles leak....

Sometimes depends on the brand or supplier.... I used to buy Kingfisher brand, RM5 only... never leak... but those like Delikate, majority leaks a bit.

Hamsters are nocturnal. They normally sleep during the day... they are only awake in the evenings and are active at night.... late night.... then they sleep back when the temperature changes to day time.

Yes, you can feed with cat kibbles. Hamsters do not need so much supplement. What you can do is soak a small piece of bread with the oil and let them lick and eat the bread but do it only once a week.

i was wondering about this too . usually sleep with the a/c on for 2-3 hours (timer) at 22c and the fan will started to turn on after the a/c turn off . my question is the same with ~rogue~ . izzit ok for the WW ?

Hamsters are nocturnal.... and because of their small body size, rodents tend to sleep more than humans.... so do not worry. Only worry when sleep till cannot wake up no matter how much you shake the cage and only worry when it never eats....

My hamster like Royal Canin Fit32 cat kibbles. Don't give too much, I only feed him 3 pieces per day.
