I think either you posted in the wrong thread or you don't know what is the different of this 2 creatures. Duprasi is Gerbil, the one you trying to show us is WW (Winter White), they are hamsters. I know both are rodents, but they are way far different, even in their price. WW = RM20 and above, Duprasi = RM150 and above...

No, they can be as big as Duprasi if you do take care of them well. The most obvious physical difference is Duprasi with tail which is FAT, that's why we call it Fat Tailed Gerbil.


This is how a Duprasi look like from back view, FAT TAIL....

It's a coffee table bought from Ikea. Need to buy one more as I've added 2 more tanks

No expensive though. Less than RM50. Can't really remember as that's not the only item I bought at that time.

I got the drift wood from Pets Family for less than RM6 with member discount also.

Yes. That's Pet's Family.

I use small glass bowl and also clay bowl as his food bowl in the beginning but now not using any. Because he keep digging the bedding and covered up the food bowl. So I just put food at the corner and let him choose himself what he wanna eat. Just a glass bowl for tofu and those wet food I'm gonna give him, once he finished, I took the bowl out or else I'll have hard time cleaning the bowl with all the bedding sticking on it. Remember use something non plastic as the food bowl.

I think you should worried about expenses more than protection after you get all these.

This is how our Echo sleep everyday, noticed his tail is so fat now...

Yeah, you'll enjoy seeing him moving around in the 2ft tank. I fed him white tofu and he slowly gain weight, also the pumpkin seeds and he loves both of it. Weigh him on 10 October, he is 74gm now.

blurjoey here: Used to feed Echo white tofu everyday but now feed alternate day due to Echo peeing more from eating the white tofu. He also got in his tank Prestige/Harry Hamster and dog kibbles.

Also Echo is picky about his food. Especially crickets and superworms. He will eat only 1 cricket/superworm a week and kill the rest if fed after
