Currently using cardboar..but it wont last long..

honestly if you want your hamster to have a nice living environment, you should just spend RM20+ and buy it a tank. That'll solve all your problems.

welcome to both of you..

cassy88, i agree with BlueHeng..
put a hamster in tank more suitable and easier than wired cage..

Welcome....

you are better off with a tank than a cage.... a tank is safer, can see hamster clearly and they feel more comfortable than a cage.... you want to cover the metal floor of the 2nd floor of the cage? You can always use cardboard.... then change it everytime it dirties.... there is nothing else... hamsters got tiny sensitive feet... metal cages with metal floors can cause slips and twisted joints. I saw it in a few hamsters and even mice before....

yes yes..agree...many advantage of tank than cage

yup . agree also . tank are much much safer . both hamsters and gerbils

Remove to put another place, or use vinegar to apply at the side of the cage outside where the ants climb up, or use bake soda mix water is it?(hun pls confirm this) to apply at the side of the cage to prevent ants move in.

If everything fails then i dunno, heard got cases special one the ant wont scare the smell.

Thankz guys..can anyone tell me which kind of tank is the best..maybe post a picture of it..and the cost too..Where to get this cage..@@..I wanna give my hammy a better place..

hehe~ thank you i'll be staying in this trade for a long long time.. im an animal lover..and i love to know more information on certain cuties

btw, whitie still can't fight with mickey's cuteness..hehe


ARGH!! the ants look scary!! there was once when a red ant bite my blackie..poor thing. lucky my sis found out and was so angry that she squash the ant into itsy bitsy tiny pieces (hope i didn't sound violent )

BURN THEM ALL
Muahahahahahahahaha~~~~~

So far my room also got antla, but depends where i put my storage box to avoid their line of action.

So far the current location under my bed its ok la, no ants for 2 weeks.

Coz no vinegar and bake soda yet

Ants do not like white vinegar.... ants hate baking soda and powder..... pour a circle of baking soda around the tank.... as in powder form, do not mix with water.... the ants would not want to step it. Powder as in baby powder is also effective.

The tanks are plastic aquariums easily available at any shop selling aquariums and fishes. Roughly cost RM25 to Rm30 for the 1.5ft tank.

Sample here:

Well, cages are more better for mice.... unless you use Habitrail or Critter Trail or Wild brand.... their cages are safer and are more meant for hamsters. Those for sale and are locally made, the manufactures do not think about what would happen to the hamsters.... they are generally thinking of making it attractive for us consumers to buy. Many of us fall into those traps hahaha.... hard to resist nice and cheap cages.

I got hamsters .. Don't know what type but i think it's syrian..

Before this i was using tank.. Small tank for fish.. then feel like the home too small for 'em.. So i changed to big cage.. Now they kinda lazy already..
Then i read it here that tank is better than cafe.. ".. waste money..

The wheel too small also for them.. at the middle got one stick of thingy that hold the wheel.. kacau only..

I use card board to cover the metal... Cannot last long.. one day change once till my home's cardboard all finish..

ok..but how u put that hole for the botol..

Drill 3 holes..

Syrian is the biggest hamster.... how big was the tank? For a Syrian, the best is a 1.5 to 2ft tank. Smaller than that of course lah no space. And you can only keep Syrian alone.

The best wheels are with a diameter of 8 inches. Those cheap wheels are too small, you need to get either Wild Silent wheel for Syrians or Whisper wheel that is 8 inches.

Of course cardboard cannot last long. You wanna give plastic? It will make your hamster dirtier. Don't be lazy lah, just change everyday. At home no more, go buy loh or go kedai runcit get the old boxes.

Hole, use a hot screwdriver or nail to burn a hole into the tank. Or another way is DIY a hanger so you do not need to make any holes.

Oh.. biggest hamster.. No wonder see other people's hams all tiny tiny only.. I just got bite today coz i kacau 'em sleeping..

I don't know how many fts but quite big..

Keep 'em alone? i was thinking of getting another 2.. Now got 2.. one male n one female.. Will they breed?

I want to get another wheel but not sure if can fit my metal cage or not.. I will get some tunnel for 'em.. Sunway pyramid got petshop.. will pay a visit there tomolo...

Maybe I want take off the metal.. Becoz below still got plastic..
