blink.gif But I remembered the apple one has a slight apple scent. Maybe it'll smel stronger for the hammies. I thought we weren't supposed tp use scented bedding?

Lol, i used apple before (when i was a super noob hamster owner), and i know the smell quite well. xD
so yeah, i bought Chipsi classic, smells like apple also. blink.gif blink.gif
and i remember last time apple scented chipsi had colourful stuff inside,now none at all. (saw at pet safari yesterday) shocking.gif

Good afternoon smile.gif  I've just got my boy boy syrians yesterday when my friend said she no longer can keep it due to moving to overseas to study so I decided to take care of him lor biggrin.gif He is kinda guai,when i talked to him he will just stare at me not moving at all tongue.gif  Hehe,so cute ooo~

But hor the prob is his mini water tank in which he can lick it to drink whenever he wants it. The water keep on leaking so easily that it wets his hay.I've already checked and changed it last night and this morning same thing happened again sweat.gif  I do know that if the hay is wet,hammie will tend to get sick easily. May I know anyone do faced the same probs like me & any solutions other than changing his water tank? Many thanks notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

I think the best solution should be changing the water bottle. smile.gif what kinda water tank u using? got brand wan?
Unless u wanna change the bedding everyday, i suggest u get a new water bottle. laugh.gif

No brand de wor,yesterday purposely went to buy everything new for him at pet shop nearby my house.
Mana tau the water tank leaked water de sweat.gif  doh.gif  And hor hammie like to sleep cuddling themselves? My boy i noticed he like to sleep under the
rolling wheel. Will find a small cute house for him later on laugh.gif
*
ooo. hahaha. no brand de tend to leak easily. Even the living world brand also quite lousy. I checked living world website, they do have a better water bottle, but i don't see it in stores. It's better to get those bottles which have the spring loaded ball to prevent leakage.
Lol, cuddle themselves like how? ohmy.gif

The water tank he is using it now got the metal ball inside but without any spring attached lor sweat.gif
Hmm..not into cuddling,just he like to sleep at the corner side. Have to change his hay again,wet again sad.gif  I wonder if i put a small mini cup inside his hay to replace the water tank,will it be better?Scared later he spill it out unsure.gif  He is now sleeping quitely,just now woke up chew some food with eyes closed then sleep back again. Lolx laugh.gif
*
haha, mine also, easy to drip wan. ><
Hmm, mini cup not really recommended cause they can push + kick the bedding inside the water, and also it will be exposed to the air+dirt= more bacteria. Just get a new bottle and it will be fine. laugh.gif
aww so cute.. blush.gif

Ya,will find another better water tank for him later. Hopefully this time no more dripping type de lor rclxub.gif
Hehe,yalor laugh.gif  The 1st time I show him my hand yesterday,he sniff sniff then then bite my finger till bleed cry.gif
I wondering maybe because he is afraid of my hand?I don't know how he have be treated in his previous place lor unsure.gif
But he is non-aggrasive type,just shy away only. But luckily when i hand him foods he still will come lor biggrin.gif

Yah,wana ask about the sand bath.How is the process and the frequency using it? hmm.gif  I saw got seller sells clothes for hammie,soo mini & cute drool.gif  But it is alright to dress them up? Will they feel uncomfortable? Somemore the rolling wheel he is using now is very noisy oh,at night i sleep that time he is busy exercising brrr brrr..hahax! wub.gif
*
Hmm, syrian issit? maybe ur hand smell like food. hmm.gif or maybe he wanted to test bite but bite too hard?

sand bath frequency i'm not sure, but then i give them sandbath at random times. I dun put it in the tank itself, the sand will fall out de. sweat.gif
ur hammie will roll in it. laugh.gif very cute wan..
Get a silent wheel lor, or buy wodent wheel. tongue.gif

QUOTE(Jamien @ Jun 8 2008, 01:38 PM)
hmm.gif But I'm using living world bottle. The small 100 ml wan i got 2 for my syrians. The 500 ml wan is for my GP Micheri. Never leak lar. You just have to fill water till it's full full and tip it over all at once. Then when the ball is covering the entrance of the metal spout, it won't leak.

blush.gif I bought before the spring wan. My robos and also my GP started drinking less and less water because the spring goes into place very fast, means only a little water come out. I think they feel reluctant to drink.  biggrin.gif But they very happily drink when I use back living world.
*
Hmm, when i move the cage the water will drip abit, but ok la i think, not like always leak. biggrin.gif
ohh. i wanted to get those type, but quite expensive. blush.gif

your WW is still young is it? If it is, get a wheel suitable for small syrians, cause WW can grow quite big also. Last time i bought a wheel, (common wheel seen in stores, got pink and yellow ones) - i bought the pink one, when my WW grew bigger he couldn't use the wheel liao..

There are only a few brands that doesn't leak. Critter Canteen never leaks if you place correctly coz it has a spring in it. I use that. Also, you know that Genting Kelang petshop? It has these bottles.... I forgot the brand, later let you know. It has double metal balls inside, which makes it never leak too. I use that as well.
My parents also say the same thing. What to do? hahahah... have pets is like that lah if we wanna give them the best.
*
Genting Klang petshop.. hmm.gif Thanks! icon_rolleyes.gif
but i don't think i'll be getting a water bottle soon. have 3 at home liao. tongue.gif
Yeah, i treat my pets as my babies. wub.gif but my parents - my dad especially, thinks that i shouldn't treat my pets so nice. sweat.gif

Ohh,how much is the Critter Canteen will be? Standard mini size as well? Coz I saw got some long tank for sales,but mine is just mini and small and yet enough for him to drink since I noticed he don't really drink. Is that alright? unsure.gif  Can hammi drink fresh juices/plain water+a lil glucose for adding up some taste to encouraged him to drink more? Thx notworthy.gif
*
please refer here http://petshack.com.my/webshaper/store/viewCat.asp?catID=51

To encourage your hammy to drink, i read somewhere in this thread that u should put some Ribena in the drink. Fresh juices should be fine, cause it's from fruits/vege's anyway. But if u feed them enough vege's/fruits everyday, water shouldn't be a huge problem. hmm.gif

Experts do correct me if im wrong. Thanks. notworthy.gif

Haro goldfries, haven't seen u posting in this version and the previous ones. tongue.gif I LOVE your photography skills! *off topic*
anyways, how are your hammies?
Critter canteens are good, just check petshack website, it's about RM1 more expensive than the living world one (if im not mistaken)

ey how to groom syrian hair so tat its smooth and tidy??? toothbrush?? i heard tat b4....

I think i read before around the hamster threads. Use toothbrush, soft ones though. There are special brushes meant for hamsters also if i'm not mistaken, kinda pricey though.

Yea...the one in garage sales..rm15 oo for complete set. Rm15 wont even get a 1.5ft tank i think. Haha! Hurm..but I don't really like the metal cages. But then again, Its going to be a rather messy 2 mths or so for me coz I need to go look for a job after graduating end of this month.

Wodent Wheel is it? lol yea tell me about it. but really good lah. my hamster loves it. very quiet.

ooo, faster go grab it then! tongue.gif a temporary cage would be ok i guess. laugh.gif
gee, i need a job. sad.gif

It's quiet, and summore can choose colours. wub.gif
totally worth it though.

@anderyna
LOL why not try again and again and again? it needs to get used to that brush i think. hmm.gif

Crickets depends on the syrian. Usually they don't dare touch. SamSam will jump or run away.

Managed to get SamSam to eat the cricket when it's dead. Others going to try soon.

I will use my hands but sangels will use her long forceps.
