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.

hmm..guess ur right! Usually i purposely like to disturb my hamsters...they soo adorable,everytime i think of them only doh.gif

im gonna get a kitten soon so,must ensure my hammies wont get eaten or hurt. hmm.gif

hmm..i need to know this..I just got myself a kitten.And ive been making sure that my hammies are far far away from my kitten.My kitten isn feeling that well yet due to new environment. I was told that hamsters are not very protected (health) compared to cats/dogs. They dont need injections or watsoever unlike cats/dogs. Is this true??I was also told not to get to attached to hamsters ,i mean putting them close to our face ,because they maybe healthy but they are still a rat species...so,i guess i cant really let my hamsters run free now..because i dont want them to spread sickness to my new kitten...or i still can?
I need to know whether hamsters can cause sickness to us??

Erm, you are proud of your hamster that killed a cockroach? Do you know that a cockroach carries lots of bacteria, is a very dirty insect that can pass on germs to the hamster? Or worst case, the cockroach may have some pesticide residue on it and the hamster eats it and gets sick from the pesticide....  I won't be proud, I'd be worried and monitor him for any changes.
*
hehehehe...i always knew cockroach is dirty and disgusting...when i saw what my hamy did..the 1st thing i did was i clean up my hammy..sandbathing..smile.gif change his bedding/food/water everything...i never like roaches...am scared of it actually..hehehe..after that day..i did monitor my hamster...but so far..he's ok.smile.gif
I would be hell furious if my hamster died because of cockroach vmad.gif vmad.gif nevertheless,im still proud of my hamster smile.gif whatever things my pets do ,im always proud of them. But of course,i take care good care of their health wink.gif thats without say nod.gif

Thanks for the explaination smile.gif
I wouldn want any of my pets to fall sick.Well,now i can put my hammies and kitten in the same room. But of course my hamsters are safe,kept them in high places where my kitten cant even reach. smile.gif

hmm..Aquarium tank right...is it really good??? What about the air ventilation in it? ONly can flow from above right? NO direct ventilation ...is this alright for the hamsters?and for the owner(the smell of the tank-when cleaning up the tank)
Also if ur hamster is aggressive how are you supposed to take it out of the tank?At least using cage,you can take the cage out and the hamster can climb out.My hamster is very territorial in its cage but when i take them out from the cage,they become very tame.Just imagine tank...only can take them out from above...surely will get bitten.(for territorial hamsters sweat.gif)

eh how ur hamster kill a roach??

maybe ur hamster old liao.. so shrinking liao?

One day..i let my hammy play outside of its cage. Like usual,my hammy loves to run,hide and seek with me blush.gif So,i let him be...then after awhile,i was doing my work and i saw a roach upside down.(gross..blerghh shakehead.gif ) At first i thought maybe it was the pesticide or something that killed the roach.But strange ive never sprayed any for quite sometimes edy. After that my hamster appear from somewhere..still running happily.I grab him because need to let the other hammy excercise too sweat.gif Usually,before i put my hamster back in their cage..surely,i'll look very close to them (to let them know times up)then i realize got roach smell on my hamster's body. So,who else can kill that roach?surely my hamster did that. I sandbath him.clean him because i dont like the roach smell..(blergh shakehead.gif ) sweat.gif sweat.gif

WHAT?? as hamster grow older they shrink??serious? I got my hamster last year and both are WW. When i bought they were rather small...

QUOTE(joanalooidog @ May 31 2007, 08:59 AM)
Er.....i think as long as they r eating and acting normal, active, thats ok lah. Or u can try buy some better quality food like Prestige or Harry hamster, might help.
NO fear, bite them back!!! haha.....
try handle often lah, or use a cup to scoop them up before handling them, will be better.

sweat.gif sweat.gif Thanks for the advise smile.gif

QUOTE(arraille @ May 31 2007, 09:33 AM)
try variety of food la instead of those hamster mix only (especially all those kuaci thing, not so healthy)... i sometimes give mine veges (broccoli, siew pak choy & carrot), fruits (apple & banana) & nuts (almond, walnut & cashew)... and once in a while i give them toasted bread... and the results is so impressive...
*
Give them human food? like veges right,give raw veges or cooked veges?Hmm..i never did try giving human food because i heard hamsters do have very strict diet...hmm.gif Some certain food they cant eat right? My hamsters eat a lot..they eat and stuffed them in their mouth.After that sleep doh.gif doh.gif wake up eat then sleep doh.gif When kacau them ...they get really active..starts climbing up the cage sweat.gif But they are not as chubby as before..sad.gif I can feel food stuffed in their mouth like a lot! doh.gif doh.gif
IS it my hamster growing older and their time is near:( please not!!!! I cant imagine myself facing that yet sad.gif cry.gif cry.gif

Yah... just think creatively a bit... can always try stuff out. Cut some opening, use wire mesh....

Just set a cage trap... those for rats ah but the cage kind. Hang a piece of chicken and wait for next day. Sure can catch back.

i see..but i dont have any cage trap now...need to buy it tmrw then...will it be ok for him to be behind the closet tonight?Now,i can see my hamster sleeping behind the closet....i really hope he comes out before i sleep today...sweat.gif
Still,thanks a lot smile.gif

Use the book and jar method la. You make stairs out of the books and let it be same height as the jar's entrance. Choose a tall jar so your ham wont climb out.

Put some of it's favourite food inside along with some of it's staple food.

Leave over night.

Thanks!!!! rclxms.gif rclxms.gif
I used this method and he fell for it laugh.gif laugh.gif I scolded him tho blush.gif told him that he wont get to play treasure hunting outside of the cage until he behaves well tongue.gif

QUOTE(the_catacombs @ Jun 16 2007, 03:27 AM)
haha... use a stick and poke him... force him into the other side so u can catch him... tongue.gif

i would have done that..the thing is...i cant find a stick long enough to poke him out of that place.doh.gif tongue.gif But he's out now,safely in the cage...*relief* blush.gif

thanks to everyone...for the help smile.gif

OH God!!!My pets are so naughty nowadays doh.gif
my hamster did this very crazy thing that i scolded him so badly until i bought him a new cage( not his fault) but he could have died!!!! mad.gif sweat.gif tongue.gif

Last nite,around 1am,i scolded my kitten for running around in my room and he knocked my hamster's cage,then drop thick books on my hamster's cage and the cage 'kemek' a bit....my hamster was a bit frighten because of the loud noise,strangely my hamster is not afraid of the kitten ,it frightens my kitten that caused my kitten to act like that hmm.gif I lock myself in the toilet(was cleaning up myself) my kitten thought i 'merajuk' ,kept purring outside the toilet door and scratching the door. laugh.gif laugh.gif After that,i put my kitten on the bed and he sleeps besides me.
At 4 am this morning,i was still awake(watching tv on the bed) i heard this strange noise on the floor..i thought it was my kitten but he's still sleeping.Maybe it was a rat but ive never seen any rats before in my house.The sound got louder abit..i took my torchlite and guess what!! My hamster shocking.gif shocking.gif I was like what?how on earth you got out of ur cage...!!!!Its a good thing i was awake and my kitten was asleep...if not you'll be my kitten's meal mad.gif
I just dont get it...how did he got down from the table??the table is rather high.He could have broke his bones..suffered major injuries but he was running happily on the floor when i caught him doh.gif doh.gif I know the cage 'kemek' abit but impossible a hamster could climbed up the cage and squeezed himself and got out of the cage.I was so worried that he would climb out again so i put him in the jar with some food in it sad.gif until i get him a new cage.I know hamsters are kinda clever too.Once they know how to get out they'll remember how to do it again. Im just so angry...if i was asleep that time and my kitten was awake...i would have lost my precious hamster vmad.gif Even more,jumping out of the cage like that vmad.gif you could have injured urself!!!I guess God was protecting him because usually i placed my hamsters on the bookrack which is higher than the table.If i did that ..im sure he would have died from the fall sad.gif and its a good thing i was still awake... flex.gif

I got my hamster a new cage and the guy gave me this vitamin drink (green colour) free of charge smile.gif He said hamsters need vitamins but my hamster dont want to drink it...why?How can i make my hamster to drink it?
thanks smile.gif
