huhu T.T . I thought about 25 - 30 bucks for 1.

Actually mealworms, like many worms, is the 2nd stage for its evolution.

Egg - Worm - Pupa - Beetle

Then start all over again. All you have to do is to keep feeding the big fat ones to your hammies so they don't pupate. But hammies eat pupas also. Just need to make sure you look thoroughly lo. In this 2 weeks only found 1 pupa, since I manually search for the biggest and fattest to feed to Ferro and Roche. They both love mealies and it makes taming easier.

lol...Ferrero Roche...ahhahaa....jus noticed......my next syrian call cadbury la....

anyway.......syrians ganas onot if untamed?? ....compared to RC

Sangels mentioned that Superworms will bite your hamster back. You sure you want to continue to feed?

its more or less RM35-40 each.

whoa..that is really cheap

do you know how big the 2ft tanks are? I think those are the cheapest way to keep hamsters. Coz other bought cages are more expensive. Since you're quite kedekut careful with money, you could try looking for those storage containers in carrefour/tesco/etc and keep your hamsters in there

ya thanks alot. i think i can remove the head 1st before giv to jojo. he lov it so much

they can bite. and im assuming if they bite it'll be harder. Bigger mouth maa

I read somewhr online that you can cut off the head first.

I'm currently researching on mealworms coz I might want to try get it but wana read up on it first

I think all animals untamed will be ganas. But syrians are easily tamed naturally.

My Ferro is from petshop at Pet Family. It's been 3 days and I'm still trying to tame. But never kena bitten before. Just a bit slower to tame. He's still scared to sit long on my hand but otherwise, he is very good.

@Iced: What to considder. Just buy. Keep in a ventilted area. I keep in a plastic food container with the top open. I use blended Prestige hamster + Guinea Pig Food (for the vitamin c) as bedding. Once in about 2 days I will put some carrot pieces for moisure. Still well and alive after 2 weeeks.

thanks for the information
i did`t cut the head lar, i just use penyepit clip the head until died 1st. then baru giv jojo to eat
i saw mealworm oso, one ringgit for small cup they sell. but unfortunately i just bought the "superworm" for RM8 per box.

So expensive... But my Roche and Ferro likes live squirming mealies wor... If consider the superworm's size shrink to mealies size, I think almost same amount la.

That's not 2ft tank, I think you do not have one at home la, that's why you don't know the price, it's RM35-RM40+. You better get everything ready before you wait for Nezu's bear bear.

Err.... I don't think I said that la, although I know about it....

Hv to find a ventilated area that my mom won't find. LOL! So you blend the prestige? I dont hv guinea pig food.

After two weeks will they turn to beetles? And whr to get the penyepit thingy

ya expensive but i saw the mealworm very small. i think tis "superworm" is 4 time bigger than the mealworm
tis "superworm" very ganas oso, i clip on them, they will struggler and strong that i can feel it.

Me also same. So far 2 weeks my parents didn't find out. They just see a container with some color and powder like thing in it. Didn't see the mealies. Hehe...

My Roche don't like Prestige. Whatever the worm eats my hamsters get right? So I blend prestige lo. The guinea pig food is my choice. Neshie blends Britter Bunny in. Up to you la. But if you just wanna use fresh, it will smeall like rotting trash in a few days... Advise that you don do that.

2 weeks no beetle yet la. All the big ones already getting digested by Ferro and Roche. Hehe...

No need twizers la. My syrians like it with head, alive and all. Just pick up and give to the hammies. They will eat it whether dead or alive. Just make sure you buy mealies instead of superworms.

@Sangels: Eh? Not you ar? Sorry sorry. Hehe...

haha is bluejoey says tat

Wana show my tank. Im trying to potty train my hamster. I put the soiled bedding and the poo on the bathing sand into the top right glass tray.





Its a 2ft tank btw. Do you think it'll work?

I read somewhr that u can just gut the mealies with sayur. Need to have bedding also? sorry confused

Is that superworms?

If so, then the small small one is mealworm rite?

Yeah, Small ones are mealworms, the ones that don't biite. I hand handle mealworms easily. All they do is squirm around to losen your grip on it.

@Ice: Your setup is nice! I don use soiled bedding o. I just put their poo poo in the toilet. They generally pee where they poop.

Wow nice. Now i'm jealous! xD
Omg, the big worm bite? Sian leh the hammies..

You handle it, you mean, you touch it? O_o
