passing by

hmn.. newbie here..with couple of questions
for the bedding can i put sand on the lower level and then with wood shavings on top?
for the hay can i use the sun-dried corn leaves?
and it is possible to just keep in the room? my room is quite dim will it be any sideeffects on the hamster?

thanks in advance?

Sand? What sand? You cannot use construction sand or beach sand for it is full of bacteria and germs. Just use normal wood shavings do look carefully coz not all brands or wood are safe for hamsters.

Hay you can actually even use your own grass.... cut alot of long grass, then dry under the sun. Yes, you can also use sun-dried corn leaves but then only as a small part of bedding coz it is not absorbent enough.

Dim is ok, hamsters prefer that. What species are you keeping or gonna keep? Also, do not put right under the air flow of the air cond, better put far away from your bed too coz the dust from the wood shavings can affect your health.

hmn.. the sand is just my curiosity..erm..but can i put like my front yard garden soil (after dry under the sun) on the bottom layer so to let the hamster dig?

hmn...own grass?will try, but own grass absorbent enug?

oh.. hmn.. but i keep in my room will the smell get strong until my housemate also can smell it?
hmn.. i think syrian.. i ask a few that has keep hamster b4, ended i think best to have only 1 st, then after i under their lifestyle only get 2 ...

haha.. room no air cond.. only have a 24hr running table fan,, will it be too hot?

put far away? i think that will be problem...hmn.. no space..unless put on my study table..

i think syrian a bit smelly rather than dwarf..their poop bigger than dwarf and pees a lot if im not mistaken..

they can also dig wood shaving if u put a lot ler

dun put ur hamster direct to sun only...dim is ok

if only one it is ok la have syrian..
their smell lesser than when you have many of syrians..
it also recommended for beginner..

Syrians can only be kept singly... so even if you want another one later, you cannot put in the same cage.

Hay is not suppose to be absorbent, it is mainly to nest and to chew.... the corn leaves are a bit waxy, so it is not so suitable as bedding.

No, garden soil is a no also coz they all got bacteria. Unless you can take all this soil or sand, and bake it at a very very high temperature in the oven for 1 hour to kill of germs, mites, bacteria.... you do know the soil has mites and spores rite? It will just make your hamster itchy and unclean. Wood shavings is still ok for them.

No, it won't be too hot coz hamsters are partly desert animals. They can withstand some heat but cannot be too hot also.

If you do not keep the bedding clean, it will smell alot. Putting in a room, you will get the ammonia traveling in the air as well as bacteria growth and also dust from the wood shavings, all these can lead you to get sinus problems or allergies. So you have to put the cage far from your sleeping area.

hehhehehe syrian can toilet train lah.. clean the toilet everyday u will not hv smell lu.... don't use wood shaving for them... use corn cob, bc better
