RIP to your hamster.

Old liao... same like my campbell.... old fella, hairless at the tummy and neck. Also looks very fragile. Old guy now

hmmm.. guys.. got some doubts in my mind..
can i ask you guys what happens if normally a hamster sleeps most of the time eh??
i think this is just a baby hamster like 6 months old like that...
can someone tell me what's goin on??

its normal wat? whats wrong with sleeping most of the time? haha

Hamsters sleep in the day and is only active late at night.... sometimes midnight, sometimes really early in the morning like 4am. Due to their natural habits, they sleep more than they are awake.

yes ah.. lol i tot they would be active a bit because i have another hamster which is active 24/7 one

yeah think so.. maybe i never realise that he got up and play la because by the time i will be sleeping like a pig d

btw, 6 months old = no baby. It's almost like a 30 year adult human already.

he is quite obedient lar... he escaped from his cage many many times already... but alwiz lepak around the room never run out... but got a few times he's been a bad boy... he bite putus my ex's LAN cable... and almost escaped till outside the house...

sometimes when we put him out to walk, he alwiz walk pass our feet and kacau us... for example, when i read newspaper on the floor, he alwiz walk on the newspaper kacau me...

haha... yeah, its a funny/cute sight...

but its not a good news lar... means he is suffering...

mine, tummy botak till shiny.... got a few blood patch also... mostly cause he alwiz scratch himself....

mine sleep 20 hours a day... or more...

i jz noticed... my other hamster starts to active at 7-8am...

my hamsters sleeps mostly in the day..but later in the middle of the nite,they put up an active gear..got out of their cages n running around my room..they annoyed with 'cit cit' sound dat tells me to put em back into their cage to have their foods...

hello hamster's lovers
just i'm having a problem with my two winter white females hamster.. one of them keep bitting and fighting the other one, i thought that they may just fight for fun or something like female fight but not a cat fight.. and 2day i just noticed a little injury (alittle blood near to her behind) on one of them and i'm not really sure what to do
so for the moment i isolated the bad girl in another cage.. so what should i do ? any way to make them accepting each other

i don't think there's anyway for them to stay together right

YESH..LIKE LAST TIME MY HAMSTER FIGHT TOGETHER UNTIL ONE OF EM DIED..AND ALSO THE OTHER ONE DIED TOO...DUNNO Y BUT MAYBE BECOZ OF LONELINESS...

If you read the first page, you'll notice that most of us do no encourage having hamsters living together in a group. Especially winter whites, syrian and RC because they're solitary by nature. If they can't get along, separate them. No other choice.

nah.. they're solitary.

thanx alot guys
i actually purchased 2 fermales to avoid this kind of behavior but it seems that i'm going to buy a bigger cage for the other one bcoz currently i placed her in a small cage.

Sorry if this has been asked before - the thread is
very long.

But I notice my Syrian hamster is not eating certain
parts of his hamster food such as the brown pellet
stuff and some colourful star shapes and pill shapes.

What brand of hamster food should I get that he will
eat (or enjoy) more of?

- yap

yo bro, there is no pure breeds hams in malaysia region la. even the ww also being cross bred with RC brfore but then breed with pure winter white back to stabilize their features back. thats what i heard.

Take good care of him then Good work


My dear friend, this type of cases happens many times in winter whites. Usually is dominant behaviour to get more space. Even among siblings can happen fight till to death incident.
Do your research in winter whites behavior before get them its better.
For now your only option, put them separately.

Added on July 26, 2007, 2:35 pmHmm... what brand you're using currently?
If really want quality ones is Prestige hamster food, or harry hamsters. Some of the owners here use the mixture of both of these brand.
I'm currently using prestige and my RC's eat most of it and no waste

You can give it a try, altho is expensive a lil

Hamsters need lots of space. Don't believe petshops.... those cages that they sell are only suitable for 1 hamster. Roborovskis are more social than other hamsters.... Russian Campbells are more sociable than Winter Whites.... Syrians are solitary. Anyway, RC and WW, living alone is no problem. In fact, they feel happier and peaceful when alone unlike Robos coz robos can get bored alone.

A 2ft tank is the best size for 2 or 3 dwarf hamsters. They need the space to isolate themselves if there are fights.... anyway, fighting is very common so the best is housing them separately. They won't feel lonely.... all that lonely stuff came about from us putting in human emotions.... animals do not have human emotions... they purely on instinct.

It died from infection..... the wounds that do not heal well can become septic and poison the blood... hamsters won't die from loneliness.

What brand have you been using? The brown pellets are alfalfa pellets, hamsters do not eat these. Pill shape? Star shape? I cannot imagine them.... say the brand and we would know.

hello.. thanx for the advice guys.. i just finished working on the cage and instead of buying another one i just split the cage into two
here r the pictures

wah..is there any connection from downstairs tu upstair..??nice diy..
