Dazzle, wud is the tank that you're using to house ur hamsters?? I saw the pictures in the first post and it looks very superb to me .

my HAMMIES ........................

DUNNO..i have 2 comel2 robos..i dunno izit female or male...hehe..but i hust realize it last nite when i heard a bit noise2 ma..the i see one of it kejar2 the other one..

small and big no relationship...(mebi have realtionship bcoz buy at same place but NOT SAME TIME)

This is Perlee.

She's darn small for her age.

This is serious. Bring to vet, don't just wait....

There is a high chance that your WW may not make it. Any recent high falls or fights? Cold room? A vet told me that the reason why so many hamsters these days fall sick easily is because of petshops getting their supplies from suppliers who inbreed.... so it has become common for our hamsters to suddenly fall sick and die the next day.

anyone using the habitrail 'mushroom-look' water container for their hamster...? got few questions...

1. will they bite the structure...?
2. will the mushroom's water holes covered with wood shaving when they start digging...?

thanks guys...

So, i kenot jz put them in the plastic bag  .  Can keep for how long?? My hamsters eat very little only - around 4 or 5 per hammie.

I really really hope gerbils have virtually no smell at all. Now my hamster smell can spread to the whole house if it weren't for BC+corn corb...

Any bedding that is scented is a no no for rodents.... lemon, apple... ai, not good. Like what Reanne said.... the phenols and chemicals in the bedding can harm the hamster. This is why majority of hamster keepers these days use wood pellets, recycled paper cat litter and corn cob. Chipsi Super is quite ok since it uses Beech wood which is safer than softwood... but it still smells strange to me...
There is no way you can avoid the mom from cannibalizing the babies. Sometimes the pup died for nothing so naturally the mom would eat the body to clean up the cage.... or maybe the pup born cacat? Then the mom would end its life....

Just leave her alone. I would say never place the male back since the male will automatically breed with her again. It may sound nice where the male got teman the female blah blah.... but we must think of the outcome later.

Leave extra food, feed mealworms. Scrambled eggs is better. The yolk has nutrition while the egg white is high in protein.

Cover the cage, place in a quite place that has no direct sun light. Keep the water bottle full and food bowl full with the normal hamster food. That is enough. Only begin to touch the mom and babies when already 2 weeks old.
If between those 2 dwarf... i like WW coz they look like they are wearing shoes LOL.... got thick padded feet. Campbells and Syrians got mousy feet.
Robos cute but not handle friendly.... So this is why I do not like.

Among the three.... WW lah... but I like Syrian also since their personality and size is good to handle.

Maybe your hamsters do not drink enough water.... coz when hamsters drink lots of water, they pee more and smell more.
Hahah... BC is memang best.

Yes, the RC male will help to take care of the babies.... well, from what I have seen, the male will never be aggressive towards his own pups and will sometimes sleep with them or eat with them. Robos do that too. Aiyah, almost all dwarf species make good mom and dads.... but its just that if we put them together, sure will have pups very often.

Chipsi Super, not classic. Classic is the same with apple, but without the perfume.

      hey..my bubuye's cage now so smelly lor    ..what to do?when i can open the cover of the cages?i zit ok when the babies is 7days old or have to wait for a month. .haiyaa...so smelly one lor..actually last sunday i thought i wanna to clean the cage but sudennly the smll bubuye give birth laa pulak..how?any suggestion?haha..mission accomplish!   at last, this morning while adding some more water into the drinking bottle...i saw the babies..so cute2 one..pink in color..not like the 1st nite i saw that is in merah hati color..so comel  maa..uu..but phew..the smell of the cage..haiya..cannot describe lor..this is the 1st time it became too smelly..thank god i am using chipsi classic..at least it start to smelly after 2weeks..hehe..pplease help me..any suggestion..or i still have to wait at least 10 day to open the cover and 1 month to change the bedding??

hahah..looks like my sister's hamster..what type izit?izit the one who love to bite bite thing?my sister's one love to bite2 lor..and yours so gomok.hehe

Prestige, well... Ikano carries Prestige, the petshop called Pets People at PLaza Damas has.... sometimes Petsmore also got.

3kg? So far nothing is 3kg. All prestige is only 700 or 800g.

Chipsi Super, I thought someone already told you. PetsWonderland lah.

Hahah... I also dunno what is Crispy but I just assume Prestige brand lah sold at those places.... no other place sells prestige.

hurm....gomok ==gemuk == fat..hikhik ..i  dunno lar..because i can hold my hamster without wearing gloves but my sister's and a fren of mine(their's  one is the same type) have to wear gloves..if not ar..will bit oo..until my hand bleeding abit and can see the bekas of their tiny teeth..so garang..cannot mix with other type.. 
when i want to buy the partner..i dunno what is the type so the guy at the petshop at midvalley did ask me how does it behave..so i tell him it like garang2 one and love to bite ..if put in aquarium ..the dinding can merekah-rekah one....then that guy trus recognise which one is it..he said usually people call it the 'local hamster'..dunno why.. that type is quite garang and cannot mixed with others..because their teeth is something2..forgot wut did that gut said.
mine , the robos, we can hold it without have to worry..it did not bite2 one but as u all now..they love to run here, there, doing some bungee jump if we put them on higher place(i thought it will not jump like my sister's hammie) and very good on escaping from our genggaman tgn..haiyaa.. ..only the small bubuye lar..the big bubuye..he will try to bite if i did hold it a bit kuat..hahah..if i just put it on my palm..it just run-run and jump2 saja

Harry Hamster and Prestige is good... better than LM brands...

Now both Harry Hamster and Prestige is out of stock at Pet Safari.

Anyway, I never use mini hamster... I use the herbs and fruits Prestige... er... the normal kind lah. The thing is, maybe your hamsters eat a lot of royal canin so they prefer the taste of royal canin than those pellets.... ai, no need to worry lah. As long your hamsters eat the rest is fine. We cannot force hamsters to eat everything....

Wah... 1 pack is only Rm17.90 here....

Ohhh... well, getting direct from Singapore is faster I guess.

Try not to use Kaytee. Kaytee is considered rather commercial and most of their feed contain ethoxyquin.
