Added on March 16, 2007, 2:40 pmhurm..can any 1 help me..beside the worms or the kricket, is there any other food that i can give to my little bubuye?i am geli2 lar with those insect yg u all mention..beside the mix nut  that on the packet yg selalu jual tuh and the fruit, is there any other thing can i give them?oats that is from quacker oat can or not?
about give them fruit, how much i can give them?per day?per week?per month?
*
You can give cooked chicken meat... Even tuna fish is also ok but without the mayo lah. Give once a week will do since high protein source. Fruits, you can give everyday... but you must limit them. 1 tiny piece a day would do since too much fruits can lead to diarrhea.

Oats, give only rolled oats... not those instant quacker oats.... also, cannot too much since oats can cause impaction in the gut and can be painful.

hahaha. cannot tahan la. reanne syrian's was too cute to wait another day !  rclxm9.gif
yeah. that's what i tot. better buy a bigger wheel tomoro.

Yay! You got the Golden boy hahahah.... her hamsters are really nice to have.... I think you got my hamster's brother heheheh.... I think lah. Anyway, yah, the wheel just now small lah, get a bigger 8 inch wheel. So comfortable but of course a bit mahal since only Pets Wonderland got that wheel. Maybe you can get a storage box.... Rm20 storage box should be big enough for your Syrian.

Hehehe... I got 3 Syrians from Reanne.... addictive to have lah.

Yah, the wheel a bit expensive but seeing my hamsters run happily makes it worth it lah. I only bought 1 wheel.... all 5 of my Syrians take turns using since the wheel cost like Rm20 something for 1... hahah...

Eh? Your Golden hamster is Igi is it? Female ah? Then it would be sister to my hamster hahahah.... unless it is a different litter. Coz I know my hamster had a golden sibling.... now my hamster fat and cute... very tame.

Ants can be dangerous... what you can do.... for me lah is I get those herbal ant repellent from certain hardware store(My dad bought so I am not sure).... then I spray around the cage, no ants would come.

Another tip would be wiping the floor with white vinegar... just pour some white vinegar on the floor... let it sit for a while then wipe it clean... But wipe using a dry cloth... or put white vinegar in a spray bottle and spray on the floor but no need to wipe, let it evaporate by itself. Ants dislike white vinegar.

Urgent, Need Help icon_question.gif

My WW-Female got very serious sick, i think unsure.gif .

This is because I found that her eye is on the left side is smaller that the right side.

I try to wipe the eye with saline and warm water, show the cotton bulb got abit dry blood.

She can't walk as normal, her head is tilt and inability to walk straight.

And also she may also fall over repeatedly or be unable to sit up.

She getting thin and weak everyday.

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.

I wanna ask actually can we put 2 hamster at the same cage? 2day I found out that my bobo n baba (both also female) fighting each other n bobo get hurt until got blood. Tis never happened before since they were born and 2day is the 1st time they fight until hurt. Now im separate them into 2 cages. Can I put them into 1 cage after bobo recover? I also wan to know how come they fight suddenly?? haiz...im so sad now....
*
Most important to know is what hamsters are they?

Normally, hamsters prefer to live alone... so if we keep them in pairs(for dwarf) then it can lead to fighting and also death.... Syrians memang cannot live together.

Once you seperate, cannot put together. It is better for you to keep them seperately in their own cages for now.

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...
*
HAhah.... I still think bottles are the best.

1. Some hamsters will chew it.

2. Yes, wood shavings can get into the water.

I do not use it but I have seen Petsmore at Petaling Street use it and that is the results I see whenever I go there.

I think the mushroom more suitable for dwarf.... Syrian I think it has the strenght to push the mushroom around and over turn it maybe? I'm not sure coz never use it before.... but you can always try it...

The mushroom bottle was designed for dwarfs and mice... but it is not very practical also lah since wood shavings can go in and baby hamsters can drown in it. Habitrail still produceses coz got people buy the mini set, so it comes with it loh...also coz msuhroom is cute looking so more buyers sure wanna try hahahah...

if u have syrian, dun use the mushroom-like container ler.  I keep my syrian in a huge toyogo box - RM 30 over type.  Then i use that mushroom like water container lor.  Middle of the nite, my housemate suddenly came to me and said "here's ur little hammie" rclxub.gif .  My syrian escaped to her room without me knowing it.  And I found that the mushroom like container was at the edge of the toyogo.  It actually managed to push the whole bottle to the corner and cabut via climbing onto the leaf of the bottle and escape .. geez .. I neva expect it to be so energetic and strong  whistling.gif

Ah, it is not suitable for syrians normally. The drawback of this bottle is it makes an excellent ladder and chew toy.

ya loh... kl have a lot of them... i mean A LOT... yesterday i went to Pets Family and they are selling WW (if not mistaken la... coz in a hurry going back to office... brows.gif )... they sell them RM4 per hamster...  drool.gif  drool.gif  drool.gif  but i think most probably all of them are siblings or close related... most likely inbreed there mah, so can sell cheaper la i guess...

Har? I was there... 100% not Winter White. 100% fully matured adults.... 100 for snakes to eat. Some are sickly too. They are adults, looks like those that either finished with breeding or cannot breed anymore so supplier must have sold cheaply to recycle them rather than throw them away....

QUOTE(joanalooidog @ Mar 23 2007, 11:01 AM)
wei, true not, RM4 per WW??!!! dun blif.......by the way where is Pets Family. Or someone tell me the pet shop name of the following location, coz i always 4get.

Not Winter Whites lah.... 100% Russian Campbells.... majority colour is Argente, with only a few pink eyed whites, 1 or 2 blacks and a handful of agoutis...

My hamsters so naughty lately sad.gif They always bite me...though i play with them like every day..i guess they are bored with me edy sad.gif tongue.gif

That is a normal thing to do. Hamsters where lah got thumbs like us? So it needs to use its mouth to throw or pick things up. Your hamster also does that but without you knowing. Also, every hamster eats back its own shit for nutrition purpose.

Erm, your hamster is not naughty.... I would say irritated or annoyed by you.

Ohhh... lucky lucky you. Glad to know she has recovered.

The vitamin, you can use any vitamin drops as long for small animals and not for guinea pig.... guinea pig got extra vit C inside...

Mealworms you need to feed them some sawi or carrot once a while... they need to be on a bedding of oats to survive.

Mealworms will die and smell like rotten fish if they are kept in a closed container with no ventilation.... also, if you feed bread, make sure the bread is stale hard bread and not the fresh soft kind. The fresh ones will let out moisture which can become humid in the container, killing most of the mealworms and turning some of the mealworms moldy....

Always keep in a well ventilated container with some oats.... Oats is a good bedding coz can be eaten and also won't release moisture like bread thus keeping the mealworms dry and alive.

Do u know the KFC container?? I dunno what is the value meal called.  But the container is round and on top got cover one.  The cover got a lot of lubangs one.  CAn i use that? At the moment, I put about 1 cm thickness of oats and I put all the worms in there wor.  Then i close the lid.  Shud be orite, right ??
*
As long the cover got lots of holes is ok lah. You can keep mealworms in the fridge... not freezer ah.... in fridge, it is cold.... and cold will make the mealworms sleep and slows down their growth. You can keep mealworms in there for a month without pupas or beetles hahahah.... if put freezer sure die lah.
