found in youtube, just want to share with all. look how chubby and tame that hammy. its WW rite? haih..i wish my WW tame like that.

OVO is good because it imitates hamster nature. burrows, underground tunnels..that kind of thing. AFAIK hamster/rodent love confined space. breathing never a problem to them..because of their superior heart beat rate they can survive in bad circulation or less air enviroment. (eg: burrow tunnel). animals with ability to hibernate usually can easily adapt. ehehe..they are animals..of coz they dunno they sit or sleep on pee or poo. dun put him in hamster shoes as we dont put hamster in ours.lol. hamster live totally based on instict and their nature. so we with the brain..pandai2 la fikir. give them better and healthy life.

for me the only problem with modern and complicated cage is for us the owner...its a hard work to clean this kind of cage. and when there is bad air circulation..mold, bacteria and other bad stuff can easily appear, so better stick with simple cage or plastic tank. the simpler the better.

ah one more...found in wiki. hamster not nocturnal, they crepuscular. ehehe dunno if its correct or not.

i guess my hamster is not normal..ehehe. he not active all night. he will wake for food and grooming at 6-7 pm. then go back inside his hidebox and stay inside there. when i peek he is sleeping..gosh! then around 4 am he will start go out and play on his wheel until 10 am. this is my observation for the past 3 month.im able to do this because i got class only after 3-4 pm. so i sleep after subuh ehehehe..kinda lucky for me got time to spend with my hammies. ahaha he is one spoiled hammie, lazy and always sleep..different from my WW. looks like he active 27/7.lol.

glass tank more cheaper than plastic tank. last time one shop sell RM 40 for 2 ft plastic tank. then he offer me other glass tank for RM 25. its 60x30x30 cm in dimension.
