Ohh... normally pet shops also recommend the mini one for Robos.... anyway, nevermind, is ok wan, still can use.

Waterer? Just get a normal drinking bottle lah. Habitrail also got. Do not get the Mushroom drinker coz to me, it is not that practical and it gets dirty fast. A normal drinking bottle would do.

Ahh... yah, the staff there are quite outdated with their knowledge.... but what to do? They got no urge to update themselves, no urge to learn.... only work there for salary hahahah.... Anyway, if you got any problems can ask here lah.

Aiyoh, so small But then Robos are that small. I prefer WW and campbell but if got White Face Robos, I don't mind getting coz they look really cute as whitish robos.

Fight is normally because they do not like each other or the female is pregnant. I suggest you remove the male coz you are risking breeding a hybrid with a pure.... don't make more hybrids out lah....

But 1 thing many people dunno about is that Dwarf hamsters are the hardest to pair.... you see, is like humans, we also don't like certain people rite? So if you pair them up and they hate each other, of course they would fight. That is why it is always best to get siblings..... safer and also easier. If you can't get siblings, might as well keep them singly. Dwarf hamsters can live solitary lives....

Gombak sure expensive, I live at Setapak I also go else where to buy hahahah.... if you can, visit Petaling Street or Pudu.... you can get cheap ones.

Say a 1.5ft, you may get Rm25 for it.... but in Gombak, people mark it to RM30-Rm35

I depends on your lighting and room temperature. But it doesn't really matter if they are up in the day or night, majority are asleep during the day.

You won't know, maybe 4am awake then later play play sleep then play again....

Erm, common sense ok? When you get siblings means brothers or sisters.... if your were force to get married to your sister and ask you to have children, is that right? Humans can think and won't do such thing unless sick in the head, but animals would breed coz they do not know they are related to each other..... why are you asking such a thing lah? This is like..... so common sense loh....

Hahaha... sleep in the toilet. So round....

I bought before 3 hamsters from Petsmore at Petaling Street.... the1st petsmore lah.... they died also.... die from virus.... the hamster stock they get are unhealthy, so better get hamsters elsewhere than from them.

Comparing with roti canai.... we humans know roti canai is unhealthy, but then many people still eat it rite? i know some people feed their pets Roti Canai also because they think is a nice treat but never think of the consequences.

I'm saying common sense. You do know human brother and sister should not have kids together, that is the same with animals. We got emotion and a brain that can think and we got knowledge. What an animal has? Only instinct, which is to survive and breed or be eaten and die. You think a Male hamster would know his sons and daughters? No, it won't. He will see his sons as competition for breeding and he would see his daughters as potential mates. Same with siblings. If you put opposite sex hamster siblings together, of course they would breed. I wouldn't use the word Horny too coz that's more for humans.... animals breed on instinct to survive.

I don't study biology, but I study animal behaviour and also rodent breeding....

Hahah.... is true. Animals from proper breeders are always better and worth the money. Cheap hamsters are not always that great.

Wah, your Yogi Bear can balance very well. My hamsters are clumsy and would fall off after a while, same goes with some of my gerbils LOL>

Why you go Pets Wonderland MidValley? Useless to get quality food there lah. Prestige are only found at Pet Safari (Ikano), Petsmore, Pet Shack and certain small petshops.... I don't think you can find it in Penang, try looking at the large petshops around Penang but what I think is that mostly found at KL coz got more demand.

Aiyoh, pity you. If you want, PM me lah, I can postlaju to you if you like hahahah.

Well, what Nezu is saying is that why not you feed more varieties of fresh foods.... don't stick with carrots.... it is high in sugar and also can cause Vitamin A intoxication. You can feed stuff like Sawi, kangkung, parsley, a bit of apple, boiled potato or steam sweet potato, cooked brown rice, bak choy, cabbage.

Syrian.... 100% get a Syrian but do get from a breeder or hobbyist... then you would not regret and fully enjoy a tame hamster. Petshops sell untame ones, some are panicky, some are timid and some are biters but from breeders or hobbyist, you won't experience any of those. Contact Nezu lah, she may have 1 or 2 for sale....

Actually, Winter White, Russian Campbell and Robos are normally tame and won't simply bite if you get from breeders. Only those from petshops will. So far none of my campbells bite, all nice and tame... they may nip to test or taste but never bite hard unless you provoke them.

The features are different. The facial features, stripe and side arches are different.

Campbells got slightly smaller eyes and shorter face. They do not have prominent side arches like WW. Their stripe on their backs are not as dark.

Agouti Campbells.






Winter Whites got a darker stripe. They got a prominent side arch and their body is more bullet shaped and rounder than campbells.

Agouti WW

That's when young.... They will grow slightly bigger when mature. Not big, that's why people like dwarfs more....

That is normal. Normally most rodents do not like to eat dried corn... anyway, it is good also since it is high in phosphorus and also in fat. The pellets, those dark green longish kind are alfalfa pellets, they are fiber and protein pellets... doesn't contain much taste so not every pellet is eaten.

Sigh, all also new price liao.... see till eyes wanna cry LOL.... it is ok for small time keepers.... but me, goodness, I spend about Rm200 a month on hamster supplies.

Pearl is rare coz males are normally infertile, cannot breed. Only a few males can breed and females have to breed with Agouti or Sapphire.... but then out of the whole litter, only 1 or 2 is pearl.... so it is rare.

Hybrid is WW mix with RC. 1st page have it.

Your Jeremy does look like a Pearl WW.... but yah, he is big. Got a pic of his top view and side view? Also, a pic of your new hamster would be good too. Do not ever trust Pet Shops like Pets Wonderland or Pet Safari... their info are wrong and Pet Safari got a reputation for wrongly sexing their rodents.

Do not put Jenny with Jeremy yet, she is too young but she can still get pregnant. If she does, it would spoil her health and growth, stunt her and endanger her pregnancy as well. Wait for 4 months before introducing them for mating.

Again, Jeremy is a pearl... most Pearl WW are infertile, if you are lucky, he may be one of the odd ones that can produce but for me, my experience is that not all WW can father babies....

Also, what colour is Jenny?

PIctures, again would be great and better to confirm.

Aiyoh.... so now how?

When you have more pics of Jeremy, it would be easier to tell the species... but I'm certain he is a Pearl WW coz his facial features do not look like a RC.... you can check my past post, I think a few pages behind or something where I put pictures on how to see a normal RC and a normal WW.

Anyway, majority of Pearls are infertile. I had 1 Pearl male who was fertile....then he had a pearl son, who also was fertile and produced outstanding WW that are very pretty with rounded features. Bought a Pearl male to try and breed but for 1 year, no pups at all. So it means he is infertile. There is only a small percentage of fertile Pearls.... that is why there are not many for sale in the market coz suppliers do not read about genetics and breedings, they just simply chuck a few females to a male, hoping they produce and later ship out the young to petshops.

Better separate Jenny.... she can breed once she is around 5 months old, that is the best age lah. But never breed her if she is near 1 year old coz there is a risk of her getting complications during gestation and also during birth.

Grey stripe on back is Pearl.... White RCs do not have stripes.

Albino, BEW and REW do not have the dorsal stripe....

Australian hamster? Lie to you lah..... it is illegal to own gerbils and hamsters in Australia unless you are a laboratory and use for experiments.

Do not listen to petshops, they will tell all sorts of stories to get you to buy the animal.

You mistaken lah. Pearl got stripe. WW Pearl got stripe. White RC no stripe. Pearl no stripe is non-standard.

Faster get loh hahahah.... but Rm20 is ok lah... compared to other places, RM25 or Rm30.... Which shop at Puchong?

Breeding takes some reading.... worms.... it is not normal.... I have no idea what worms they are if you do not post any pictures but it could have been deformed babies....

It could have been stress, they fought, and things happen. Breeding is not easy, they are not like humans where a father and mother can be happy and joyful with their kids.... a male hamster and female hamster got no such emotions but to breed for repopulation and caring for the young to survive.
