Taming can be a long process, don't expect your hamster to suddenly like be handled over night. It can take weeks or even months depending on the hamster. Feed your hamster some treats from your hand so they get used to seeing your hand. Feeding them it's 1 of the effective way. yeah, beside that, wait until ur hamster to wake up, don't wake them up, they doesn't like it...

Before you handle your hamster make sure you have washed your hands well. Hamsters have a strong sense of smell. If they smell something on your hand they may mistake it for food and decide to bite! Follow the steps , n u surely can tame the hamsters up. That's what i did.

After that. they can be handle more easy way; can straight pick them up if u want.

it's testicles. Can see clearly male's testicles at the bottom if it's a MALE.. above the tail... lol

@danny
i think u r misunderstood... the reply is for 4rings
I think it's normal, coz at the age of 5days it cant really show much.... As long as the smaller pup can drink milk frm mum then can already... later he/she will catch up the size of his/her siblings nothing to eb worried about.. keep on observe them...

@4rings
All 3 of them are in the same age? If NO then my ans would be... different age different size...

@crazymouse
Wow Blue in coming to town? breeding already? or still planing?
I'm 90% sure it's a red eye lilac but i need 10% from to make it 100% ...

@lilpumpkinz
all ur hamsters are ww rite? All ur ww are in their adults? btw ww are not sociable and won't live together peacefully unless they are siblings, but even then, the hamsters might fight fatally. It is adviced to keep them single.

@Travies
u want the best brand? Then try using B2N(Back2Nature)
U can get it from petlovers@pyramid
But i'm currently using Kaytee Aspen get from 1 of the LYN forumer...
About the smells i think got lil, but not that harsh... U might refer to the front page to get more information on beddings and foods as well... it's on page 1 or 2 in this treads... go n have a look in order to get a clearer view...

Added on March 23, 2008, 8:57 amIf you buy a pair of young hamster siblings from the pet store then they will most likely be fine. If your dwarf hamster has been on it's own for a while then it is much less likely to accept new company.
so it is depends on which situation you are in now. Based on what u labeled as "sometimes" then shouldn't be a problem for them to live together. Fighting hamsters should only be separated if the fight results in any blood being shed by either hamster. This is defined as serious fighting. If your hamsters do seem to fight, keep in mind that many fights occur through lack of space and food. These fight will eventually lead to death. So beware.....

About shitting on ur hand, it is because the hamster is too scared. This is very common so there is no problem with it. Until the hammy reached intimate level, the hammy will not shit on ur hand again .
About the smells, what the hammy ate, will affect the outcome of the shits smell. For example, for human, eat petai; then when berak what smell u can sniff? Ofcoz it's smelly smell of petai rite. i think it is something like that.

Hope the informations are helpful.
