QUOTE(arraille @ Jun 27 2007, 03:35 PM) is there anything for it to bite...? like little wood block, box or tissue roll core...? normally they like to chew those things... Won't they swallow the tissue roll as well? QUOTE(crazymouse_yyh @ Jun 27 2007, 09:33 PM) You seem to like to dare feed this and dare feed that... you feed lah, your hamster dies then don't you come crying into this forum saying your hamster dead and you dunno what is wrong. Lemons are acidic, hamsters can't even take orange so if lemon how? Die lah. Chocolate? Hmmm.... is there any hamster food in the world that adds chocolate? What ever you eat, not everything a hamster can eat. If you love your hamsters, you would be doing more research instead of risking their lives with human food. erm...Cage is not good housing for hams...But it seems that hams is the only pet fits in cages compared to hedgehog, sugar glider, gerbils etc....if hams is not fit also...Why producers are producing cages now adays? As cages are selling in everywhere...1st thing comes to consumers mind is cages for hamster... But if there isn't anyone selling then everyone will buy tanks for hams ... Your cage is too small.... and cages are the worst type of housing for hamsters since: 1) dirty 2) hurts their feet Even if get them cages, the best is Habitrail or Critter trail.... also, placing the food bowl on the 2nd level is wrong. You want your hamsters to eat and sleep everytime? By putting the food bowl at the bottom level, you will give it an opportunity to climb up and climb down. Burying their food under hay and woodshavings is common for it is a natural instinct. You keep saying branded food as if we are dumb and dunno how to distinguish between low quality and high quality. The food Habitrail and Science Hill's Plan/Diet are 2 low quality products. I guess you do not know what is Prestige, Kaytee, Orijen, Acana, Harry Hamster, Royal Canin and California Natural. The "brands" you are using are ok... but it is not the best and healthiest. Your hamster is acting normal. The cage biting syndrome is normally associated with cages. This is why most of us prefer tanks. I use storage boxes and plastic aquariums.... it gives the hamster a safer home as well as less stressful to their health. Biting on the bars can lead to liver damage since rust is ingested.... Nuts are a great source of healthy fats.... Cashew nuts are great. He is bored.... what type of cage are you using? Hamsters living in tanks or aquariums do not show any of these boredom signs... Durian.... hmmm.... I don't think it is advisable coz it may give the hamster diarrhea.... ey...habitrail is the brand u ask me buy for my ham dat day =.= via pm =.= when I asked u wad food to buy ler... lastly...the hill's science diet plan is juz a joke ler for saying it is brand...since it is a dog food...i got it free when i bought hams stuffs in a shop... They gave me those packets...  |

Yea im rather worried about my hamster biting the bars....so i put those toys the cadboard thing you said earlier...and he's no longer biting the bars only once a while. The cage i used is the normal cage the standard cage for hamsters. He is bored.... what type of cage are you using? Hamsters living in tanks or aquariums do not show any of these boredom signs... Cheese is a good source of calcium. Of course do not go overboard and feed the whole slice lah. Just a bit will do. Cheese also causes their pee to become extra smelly. Hoho... very adorable. Hamsters love peanut butter but do not give too much since it can cause some hamsters and other rodents to be sick. But how come hamsters dont show sign of boredom when they are put in the tank? I mean....wont they get to play climb up the bars and go into their upper house with ladder or such?  Peanut butter..so cute  Hmm..so today's snack will be lil bit of cheese for both my hamsters Tmrw will be peanut butter  *need to go buy peanut butter first*thanks a lot for the help |

QUOTE(liez @ Jun 29 2007, 04:57 PM) Won't they swallow the tissue roll as well? Ahem, only habitrail and critter trail are good cages.... what you bought is what factories produce to make profit. Hagen was one of the 1st few dominating small animal brand, they produced cages to suit small animals but many manufacturers make cages which are not suitable for hamsters. I did say Habitrail and Critter trail are safe cages. What you use can easily injure them. Now there are companies and even in thailand they are producing quality tanks for hamsters already coz they do know the dangers.... erm...Cage is not good housing for hams...But it seems that hams is the only pet fits in cages compared to hedgehog, sugar glider, gerbils etc....if hams is not fit also...Why producers are producing cages now adays?

They gave me those packets... You were feeding an unbalanced diet at first.... then of course I introduce Habitrail coz it is basic but if you compare quality over other brands.... Habitrail is low.... You were boasting about you dare and we don't dare sort of stuff.... these things we do not take lightly. Never joke here, if you want to joke, go Kopitiam to joke.

The cage i used is the normal cage the standard cage for hamsters. Bar biting is... well, said before as a sign of boredom and also it is addictive... a habit. When in a tank, they cannot do such things.... the only activity which you will see is the sign of boredom is that they try to jump up the corners or un up and down a bit.... after that, they get tired and go back to running on their wheel or chew the cardboard stuff. Hay also makes great activity as some hamsters will chew on the hay or make tunnels and nest. But how come hamsters dont show sign of boredom when they are put in the tank? I mean....wont they get to play climb up the bars and go into their upper house with ladder or such? Peanut butter..so cute Hmm..so today's snack will be lil bit of cheese for both my hamsters Tmrw will be peanut butter *need to go buy peanut butter first*thanks a lot for the help cage biting can cause sore noses too.... they do love to climb so when we keep in tanks, it is good to put toys for them. Tubes, wheels.... you can even make your own play gym with ice cream sticks and PVA glue, which is non-toxic and safe. If you got a creative mind, you can actually get some stuff from IKEA to make your own double storey tanks.... |

I saw hamsters break or sprain their legs before in those cheap cages.... I actually have 2 of those cages but already keep in store room, will never use again. To me, those single storey cages are still good enough coz it is a bit natural for them. I will only say Critter trail or Wild or Habitrail as good cages but then hamsters will still do the cage biting thing but the hamsters won't be able to injure their legs while climbing. Anyway, White Face robos can be easily found in Singapore.... in Malaysia... well, so far I have see in Pet Safari but the 4to 6 they have there have been reserved. This is a new mutation of the robos colour coz robos are actually still in their wild agouti coat(the gold with ticking). White face robos are just robos with more white on their sides, face and appear slightly lighter than normal robos. Newbies come in to learn or ask about problems memang we encourage.... but newbies not taking it seriously will of course just create spam in this thread..... |

Hmm.... white face robo's are mutants then
 Well, most of our RC colors was come from recessive genes as well as it is all the hidden genes that were brought out through inbreeding. Just googled out the gene thingy for RC a few days ago and man, the variety was does that mean mutation? or just pure inbreeding results? By the way, about the cage as close as natural habitat, its very little similarities compare to their real nature ones. By the way they wont even know and take it as natural for them since they were all born in cages. Sad but true that such small animals were taken in and caged. Home bred one's still ok, but the initial batch that were take in by human, they are wild one's. They were caught. caged and lost their freedom, somehow this kinda thought makes me shivers to the spine.  But thats the more reason we should respect life and take good care of them. For those who were new into petting a hamster, don't take their life lightly, as they were here through the sacrifice and suffering of dunno how many long line of family generation before they reached your hands. Take good care of them. With Love to Hams, Lance |
