I have a question about my hamsters - Ryuuk and Rem. They have been with me for a year now since they were babies.

For the past couple of weeks, both of them have been fighting like mad and it's bloody. The first brutal fight I witnessed was when Ryuuk bit Rem near the neck and it was bleeding. I thought Ryuuk was culprit because he is scared of people touching him and will pounce on your finger and bite if you try to touch him.

But I was wrong, it seems Rem is the culprit because I started noticing that Rem is always initiating the fights and chasing Ryuuk around in the cage.

Now I have seperated them and both of them have scars because of the fight.

I would like to know why Rem has become so brutal and disliking Rem so much. Before this, they were ok. Although they did fight, but only for a couple of seconds then everything's back to normal with both of them sleeping beside each other. Now they can't even stay in the same cage. Is it some mid-life crisis thing because they are a year old now.

Thanks.

Here is JackJack zoozone2 after cleanup... Also the 2 feet tank for Jery & Remy after cleaning also. Took out the tubes as was unable to put nicely without some shaped tubes.

Also JackJack in the toilet bowl 'merajuk' after we clean his zoozone2

Missgeek,

This is normal as JackJack also sleeps during the day & night unless we play with him or take him out of the zoozone2. But he will run the wheel and eat during the wee hours in the morning...

He is now sleeping in the toilet bowl but he was very active when we took him out while cleaning the zoozone2.

Phew... ok. Glad to hear that... I am keeping an eye on his eating habit etc... so far he is not stressing, and he is so manja... he even stepped on my hands now when i put it in the tank....  me so jakun... I didnt get that from the dwarfs, hehe. Yesterday give him raisin, hahaha.... he faster grab from my fingers and turned his back at me, hahahaha... so funny like eating faster2 scared I will steal back...

JackJack is super cute sleeping in the toilettttt! So round...

is JackJack 5 mths old too? Will they grow more or this is the size they will stay?

If you're curious about my baby's name, here they are:
Mini-chan, the Agouti Winter White. He is named Mini because he resembles the father and so a mini-version of the father.
Junior-chan, another Agouti Winter White. He is named for the same reasons as Mini-chan. They are twins and they look very much alike. I can't even differentiate them.
Sophie, the Pearl Winter White. She is cute, always hangs out with her mother.

sleeping in the toilet..haha..

Why my baby hamsters have no fur eventhough they are like 1+ month already?

see hows my baby sleeps in the toilet 

So did you separate the females with the mom and the male with the dad? Coz..... they look like they are sexually mature now....

Need to seperate already?
