haha... rich gal like u no problem lor. for me, i got plenty of pets to feed. i am not complaining, but i am just saying, must jimat ma. coz family dont bother to give extra pocket money for pets. haha... got to study and work for myself. ok, guess i will combine breeder celect and corn cobs. hehe

errr....how to order?? and tis monday i will be going bak ipoh.....soooooo....they can post it to ipoh???............

Is it save to use the bedding that is colorful?

urgh, just read thru a whole lotta pages and lotsa spam. How can anyone say buying stuff online is ma fan confuses me.

Anyway, about bedding I'm told that the corn cobs not so good coz of it turning moldy if it's damp. I use some wood shavings (can't rmbr what brand sorry) + Breeders Celect and I find that BC is really good for the odour control. Doesn't get smelly as fast and coz I mix it with the wood shavings - which are pretty cheap - one bag of BC can last for a long time.

I usually put slightly less than 1 inch thickness of bedding.

Oh, i really like the setup that someone (was it neshie? too lazy to scroll back) made using a box and DIY. So creative Im just too lazy. Will buy a tank and just accessorize.

About wheels, what size is good for a WW?

p/s (off topic): someone said we should try and eat the mealies. Well I had sago worms before. Not particularly nice.

Sigh, you people here please don't spam so much. Only talk about things related to hamsters... as in topics like bedding, health, food, growth, species or stuff, not about banking... I am gonna do clean up AGAIN!!! Argh.... is not nice to spend my free time to clean up this thread everyday you know.... if this happens again I will close this thread and reopen a new one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, today Pet Family got some new goodies....

Black banded syrian!!! Pure black banded!!!! They mix with Sable banded so becareful when choosing. I took 1 home.... along with a few other Syrians LOL. Had a good day with Neshie and Jamien. Nice meeting you guys and I hope you guys have a fun time playing with your new Syrians. A good day today.

Where is pet family?? their syrians in good condition?? how old are they??

neshie, u got a sable banded?? post post post pic pic!!!!!!!why u on9 but neva on msn 1...

The Syrians there are of various ages. Some are like 5 or 6 weeks old, some 2 months, some 3 months old. Quite ok lah. I wouldn't say as good as from Nezu, but still ok enough if you wanna search for different coloured Syrians.

Today I got myself again another odd colored Syrian, an Umbrous female and a solid Sable female. Hoping to make them big enough for breeding later.... if I ever think of breeding any Syrians lah coz my mind now is full of sugar gliders.

Neshie
Before I headed home, I drop by a petshop at Danau Kota to buy crickets and mealworms. I let the shop owner play with my glider. Hehehe... then I saw 3 RC hamsters.... price RM18 each.... I think maybe I let her play with my Keera, so she give me awesome discount. RM30 for 3 heheheh.... summore nice colour and features, better than the Pet Family RC.
Yah, I kena poison kau kau today. Tomorrow I must rearrange my pets. And get a few more storage boxes. Buy 1 get 1 free now at Carrefour.

OH yah, Neshie's Sable got bear face heheheh. And the eyes got very nice bright cream rings. Cream mascara.

He is talking about Pet Family, not Pet Shack. Check out the pet shop list in Pets Wonderland of Lowyat.net.

Addicted to Syrians. When choosing one, make sure it is active and has a solid body. Don't go for those that got thin faces or wet looking hair or thin longish bodies. Look for rounded look as well. We spent like an hour plus choosing Syrians just now.

Understand your addiction. I'm addicted also but I can't afford to keep so many as I do not have that much time to take care of them due to busy work and unstable working hours.  Wish can go hamster hunting again like before but too many things to consider and think about. But now me and Blurjoey started to fall in love with Duprasi after we have Echo. Still love our syrians of cos, waiting for Nezu's bears meanwhile but thinking of hunting again after you told us have black banded in Pet Family, I miss Fumoffu, DigDig and AshAsh so much la.... Wish to get the same color like them again one day.   

True, now I must stop. I really no more space for more Syrians hahah... goodness, the addiction... is like drugs.... keep wanting to buy.

There are only 4 or 5 black banded left.... I'll get a pic for you to see. You should try and get one, is like super rare to find a black banded.
You should get another loh. Heheheh... 1 sable banded and get 1 black banded loh. But your Sable is nice, nicer than the sable banded I have now. Hope the fur grows longer soon. Pump up with food!

Jamien already has a cream. That's Roche. I got her from nonono a.k.a Chris.

The one I got today is a mink. Look like chocolate wan.

Today had a very enjoyable day hunting. Don't wanna buy yet end up buy also. Thanks Hun for helping me spot the mink and sex it (still hoping you're right) and thanks Neshie for being company. Nice to meet you Nophie.

neshie.. only thanks to hun n jamien? no thanks for me? T.T
seriously... just now u all poison me to take one and I REALLY WAN TO TAKE ONE!!! luckily the stuff and all stopped me.... xD

I like those sable banded, pure black banden and the cream which jamien took. Those 3 is superb I must say!!

Hahaha... I must buy 2 more tanks liao. My mom call them bigs coz they eat alot of veggie. Today they eat parsley.

I was reading, mink comes from breeding a sable with a red eye cream....

Wheel... really hole in pocket loh. Now I got 2 wheels, I always exchange each night but I think I need another loh hahaha.... die lah.... have Syrian also expensive.

I'm using that wheel. But become their home. Because the house i bought(just like the cow in neshie's tank) doesn't fit them enough. Especially the male Syrian, the ball come out from the house.

Crazymouse, you put alot of hammies in one tank? Can see picture of your setup?

I don't keep many syrians in 1 tank. That was yesterday as temporary tank. Coz I need to get my extra tanks from the storeroom and also get 2 new ones. Erm... what is the use I take a pic to show? It is just a storage box... with water bottle, toilet roll, a hidehouse and wheel.

Added on June 5, 2008, 12:21 pmIt's ok Neshie, I was meaning big big wheel heheheh.

Anyway, just for others to know. Syrians cannot live together permanently. Syrians that are young such as the ones I bought can be put temporarily in a few days if they are below 4 months old. Normally they won't fight yet coz they are not so territorial. That tank was meant for picture taking.

its look like giving a peace 

Ants also expensive nowadays. See ant section. Hehe...

Anyway, I decided to name my boy (hopefully is) Ferrero, or Ferro for short. Suits Roche. My bf's siblings all fall in love with him le. His younger brother like wanna cry when I wanna bring it home.

Both my syrians currently sleeping. The smoothie licin! He eats more than Roche even though Roche is older.

Tonight I'll take his picture and post lar.

I feel like checking your Syrian again hahahah.... I still not 100% sure since the genital park extra furry. I checked all of mine, all quite easy to see. Weird.

But his colour special rite? Summore banded, makes him look cuter heheheh.

You must love the chocolate alot to name them after ferrero roche. As long Ferro takes his smoothie, his extra veggies and also normal grain food, he should become big and fat.

Really uncommon colour heheheh.
Slowly loh. Maybe not used to it or not hungry enough. Mine all eat liao their veggies and fruits.

We make a date and you check lor. It is very furry, his underpart.

When I bought Roche my sister brought in the chocolate while I was naming her.  So she became Roche.

Ferro looks so much like a chocolate le! I had to name him that! Also pair nicely with Roche!

BTW he seems to be nibbling politely on the veges. maybe he's not used to it?

Ocha as in tes in japanese? Or wat? Sounds cute.

Then our syrian terbalik! Take ou the water he will sure lick smoothie wan. You got feed in afternoon?

when u all goin hunting again?? i wan go oso !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha... cute names. Well, Pet Family doesn't feed cheap food... I forgot what kinda food they feed, but sometimes I got see some veggie in side too. But the bedding was stinky yesterday in the big tank. Anyway, I think they were in the middle of changing the bedding when we went there.

Mealworms... they don't feed mealies to hamsters wor... maybe he just like the smell so when he tasted them, lagi he like hahaha. Is good, pump up protein, veggies... sure become fat hamster later.

Oh... then you can feed nuts but take it easy on it since very high in fat. You can give cooked egg. Some hamsters won't eat boiled egg, so you can scramble it without oil and feed it to your hamsters. This is to give variety from mealworms lah.

Yups, you can alternate protein. Just don't give the whole egg lah. A small piece that can fit a teaspoon is fine.

i wanna go for hammy hunting next trip !! u all dun mind guys rite??

u follow go jalan jalan oni la.. dun buy lor.. crazymouse,dun do it on next week pls.. i balik kampung.......

neshie.... I like ur sable banded <3
tomorrow gonna meet wif hun again at petshack...
dunno if she plan to go petaling street tomorrow.. cuz yesterday we got no time to go there... haha
