Broken leg can't be fix??? So sad... I gotta make sure my hammies don't broke their legs

Yeap, I think Fumoffu is thin also, now I'm trying to make him fat and round by giving everything I think the best for him, included fresh, pure prestige, organic powder, dog food, water with vitamin drops, and etc etc... Hope I can have a fat fat black banded soon.

Dehydration can cause saggy testicles???? So what should I do except give him water and more fresh Will this cause any injury to the testicles? Is it hurt when he walk with the testicles dragging on the floor? I don't think he can hide it anywhere with his fur also cause it just too big, obviously, it's a HE!!!

Firstly, we recommend as treats lah. You try and eat oats everyday with corn, nothing else.... you can still be alive but very weak rite? As a human, you need carbs, protein, fiber and fats....

Nuts if you give 1 or 2 is ok. We are not saying you should give 1kg of nuts to a hamster.... is the same with cabbage. It does contain some nutrition, just very very little but you must never give it a whole head. If you are only planning to give cabbage only, then it is the worst to do. Same with cucumber and apples.... you should be giving a variety. We do not just dump a single veggie in. You gotta thing about variety.

You should not be confused in this.... as a pet owner, you should research more. Ok, so we explained that rolled oats is good to be given, but then did we mention it as a staple? Why on earth are there hamster food mix being sold? If you get a pack of Prestige, then you would know just how much your hamsters are missing out in nutrition.

Instant oats bloat, it absorbs more water than rolled oats but ALL oats causes binding when consumed too much.

Added on December 31, 2007, 1:06 amYah.... the vets here won't do anything.... a hamster is just too small. A rabbit or guinea pig is still ok but for a rodent, very hard I guess. Hamsters do heal well, so the leg would heal but it won't be 100% normal.

You can try a tip in fattening him. Reanne told me cashew nuts. I tried before, get the raw ones. My hamsters love it and it is fattening but much better than sun flower seeds. Give 1 a day is enough.

It's ok. It could be stress that causes the saggy testicles. Just provide everything necessary for him to be comfortable, and I think it should be less saggy. Mine also like that sometimes, but this I dunno why also coz they got their bottles of water and everything... but it usually goes away in a few hours.

Food for hamster must be even and balance. Not too much and give only one kind of food for them cause they will not get enough nutrients just like humans, humans can't eat one kind of food for their whole life. Prestige have all kind of variety mix in it, so it provide balance nutrient for hamster. Green leaf vege is the best, like sawi and all, just give different type for everyday, especially you are breeding them. Let the sifus here to advise....

One bag of prestige can last for very long and it last longer if you mix fed with fresh vege I'm doing that, end up sometimes I gotta eat the remaining fresh vege so that it can be finish before spoiled Make me eat more vege also...

oh hi crazymouse juz saw ur reply.. i'm not totally kiam siap till dun wan feed my hammies good food.. cos i saw de recommended food online n in tis thread, so i tot as long as got protein, vitamin, carbo maybe n etc, will be enuf instead of processed food..

sorry to offend u by doing so cos i reli dunno.. n tat's y i ask..
since u already said so, i think i'll go for prestige.. dun be angry at a noob like me cos i'm always willing to take advice n learn..

Oic... Hope Fumoffu's testicles can be firmer and not sag anymore cause it's more saggy than we first saw him Wonder why... Maybe like you say, stress causes that Hope he can adapt himself soon. He is messing in the Habitrial Safari right now, the wheel also felt down when he trying to be 'spiderman' He is a strong boy, pushing toilet bowl everywhere just by 2 pushes Just worried the saggy testicles will get hurt as he is also a clumsy boy

Thanks for the fattening tip... I'll go get the raw cashew nuts for my hammies.... Then I can also fried it for myself as CNY coming soon...

Wish I could fix a broken hamster leg instead a human's leg....

Hey all, first of all happy new year..

I just wondering anybody could tell me how old was your hamster before it died?

No, not the lifespan it's how long it lived with you until it dies.

i dont know about that coz i just got my first syrian hamster couple days ago..

wow..a happy new year present for u

you can wait for 16 days gestation period and see if there is any pups around..
