Hehe was to anxious and wanted to try it out whether Popeye can accept it or not. I read the previous posts and will try to gutl oad the mealworms now XD Hahaha very happy XD

medical supplies @ forceps for those who have worm phobia  

yea...
my robo ham eat non stop...
LOL....so scare they cnt digest.....
LOL

Imagine they even hide and keep it in their pouch instead of swallow it    

Yes, they will. That's why you need to give 1 at a time so that they can not hide it but eat it on the spot. I've seen my hammy half way eating it and the other half still moving and drop it on the bedding yet the other half is still moving. I gotta dig out the other half with a scoop     Thats why now with empty tank and 1 at a time. In case it drop or they left bit or part of it and ignore it.

Hide and keep is still ok, imagine again, they push the pouch contain out and hide it in their nest....     so, avoid all that as they'll know the different, what they know is just all also food.

Am happy taking care of them! Popeye is cute and mealworms are fun.. Ohoho

ya, cos i witnesses all of my hamsters' 'first time' before.. reli have blood, n de male's part will also have de female's blood..

Syrians doesn't need sand bath as they will groom themselves. But I do put them in for sand bath with some help putting the sand bath over their body and they will just shake it off.

Not all type of cat/dog food is good. Especially the pellets that can be obtained from supermarket. The ingredient is bad. Bad bad.

Try buying Science Plan, Acana, Orijen, etc etc. Some are cheap. Just buy the 0.5g,0.75,1.00kg packet. In Kuching sell it around 10-20kg.

Very cute hammy... Solid sable?    

Yeah. I'm lately inactive, PMR this year so got tuition here, there and everything in between.

I miss my baby solid sable (AshAsh)...    

The worms are so 'geli'. I think I will faint before I manage to feed my hammies with the worms.

This is how he trying to escape.

He make his way standing up on the wheel and bite the lid.

Hamsters are escape artists. Never underestimate the intelligence of rodents. Before I changed the lid, there were a few times when my family will wake me up at 6 am, yelling to me, "I saw your hamster running in the living room!". It really scared me silly cuz I was afraid they ran out the door. There was one time Yuu ran out and I couldn't find it for 2 days. I thought it escaped already but found it 2 days later trying to climb on the table to get to the tank.  I think it got hungry. Lucky it didn't escape.  Kept checking the tank for holes but could't find any. Found them pushing the lid a few days after that. I never would have believed it if I didn't see it myself.

Then I took out the wheel to DIY a new lid for them.  Feel like wanna pengsan when I saw them climb the plastic block house. It wasn't tall enough to aid their escape.   Then I saw Fat Fat step on Yuu and started jumping jumping to reach the lid.  Had to remove every tall structure in their tank to prevent their escape until their new lid was done.
