Why must they?     Also some hamster don't like veges. Maybe they just not used to the egg white yet?  

as for me.. the price depends on the brand of the items.. if you go to pet safari.. surely the price is expensive (the quality i don't know )

wow cute little robo u have there

Your robo looks fine, like robos its age are suppose to look like. I specially raise only robos. I should know.

Anyway, I think I agree that each hammie have their own taste. Since I only raise robos, I notice that some don't really like boiled egg white. Like fat fat (passed away jor. RIP) only takes a bit of egg white. She just nibbles a little. But she likes vege. Pammy on the other hand LOVES boiled egg white. when i open the tank cover and stick in the egg white, she will run here and there chasing the egg white. She will attack the egg white before it lands in the bowl. She eats veges after egg white so I guess egg whites are her favourite.

It's not abnormal, don't worry.

I don't think you can fully tame your robo. It depends lar on the individual. For example, Rump will come to my hand, sit and walk on it but won't leave my hand until I put him back. Fat Fat will come to my hand without being afraid but she only like to sit a while before she go off. Yuu never like to come on my hand.  I think he got traumattized from the pet shop I bought him from. Pammy is interested in my hand and walks arounnd on it. She seems tame lar. I think she'll be like Rump.

The thing is you can definitely tame it to come to your palm daily but I don't think it's 100% that you can tame them to STAY on your palm since they're small and quick. Can be dangerous also when they decided they wanna "suicide" from your palm and jump off.

I can only advise you to be patient. Maybe you can tame it to be like my dear Rump. Just don't get angry if you don't get the result you want. And 1 tip for you ya. Don't chase it with your hand. They'll only get afraid of  your hand since it looks like "a big thing that's coming to get me!!" from their point of view. Patience is a virtue. 

And I can't tell you when they'll get tame, btw. Pammy is my newest hammie but she's the tamest. Yuu, I got him for more than 6 months and he still don't trust my hand. Rump and Fat fat (RIP to them both) I had them their whole lives but their tameness is different.

Good luck yar.

aiya...i wrongly typed. I play with my hamster once in 2 days. coz its out in the living room so anways try to play with it at often as I can.

I would like to try that but i felt end up having all their sh!t everywhere at my bed room.

I tried but my dad wont me to  had to put it at my hall,is it okay to put at normal temperature room??
