You can not define their types with the price as different shops would have different price. Syrian is the cheapest of all. You can get range from RM8 to RM20 depends where you get it from. I can even get free Syrian Can say something wrong with them just because of cheap. Hamsters are cheap but their accessories are expensive. I can buy more than 10 syrians with the money I spent for one tank with the accessories.

How many holes??? How many percentage of the lid is covered still? Better modified it with the mesh. You can't see it when you have the lid closed, anything happen to it you will not noticed as fast as you can also.

The avatar is JackJack, my first Syrian. Bought him from Pet Shack. Very tame and good boy, chubby and smart also. Kiko is my Syrian girl. I've posted some pics of all my Syrians in the first page of this thread. You can have a look. They are all cuties. Syrian can grow till 6inches or more in length. If you feed them well since young, they can grow very fat. JackJack is weighted 130+g and 6.5 inches in length.

Home breeder doesn't mean can produce very tame hamsters also. Some of the home breeder here just breed for money and do not really tame their hamsters before selling to other people. Pet shop like Pet Shack do have tame and half tame hamsters. So we must know who are we buying from.

Still can make some more holes in between the holes. The more the better.

Here you go:
Kiko's latest pictures:

She is 'geh boh-ing' with the camera outside the tank.


Look at her size compare with the bowl now.

Yes. Compare with the time I first got her. Still so small as she is only 3+ weeks old. Now she is going to be 2 months. Getting smarter also.

She is experimenting how to climb and escape. Trying very hard.... More and more naughty now. When I wanna take her pics, she keep moving and running wheel, when I stop taking then she pose there for long time and not move, all nice pose some more.

If you ever lost any hammies where they ran away from the tank, you'll know that's not too interesting also. I've lost 2 syrians, 1 solid cream and 1 solid sable. 2 small cute fella. Fed them till fat and tame already then gone missing. All of my Syrians now are also smart especially JackJack, that's why he is staying in ZooZone2, he still trying to jump and get to the top everyday.

This is the set up once I get the tank.


This is the set up after added some accessories.


You can also google and look at the pic with a nicer view. It's from Hagen.

Hamsters sleep like this when they feel safe and not caution to anything. They sleep on their back no matter what age are they. All my hamsters sleep this way and they are all adult.

Added on June 2, 2008, 10:21 amYou have to consider whether you want ZooZone1 or ZooZone2. Yes again, it's JackJack and he is cinnamon banded syrian. That's the most common color that you can found in the market. For me ZooZone2 is a bit too big for 1 syrian as it's for GP or Bunny. You can go for ZooZone1 (the pink color one in the pic).

The most important things are the tank and the wheel. Make sure you buy your hamster a good wheel. You can consider Wodent wheel or Sanko wheel. Both almost the same price. You can get everything in Pet Shack with good price if you get everything from them.

Nice money to have nice looking tank, my house not so big to have all of them staying in ZooZone. Expensive also if I wanna get all of them one each Already spent RMxxxx on my hamsters and fat-tailed gerbil already.

Added on June 2, 2008, 10:31 amMine is ZooZone2. It come with white and green. ZooZone1 come in pink and blue. Not so good with white color, nice to see but not nice when it get dirty and cleaning like mad.

No need bargain, they'll give you discount automatically when you buy more. That's why I'll make all my way to buy from them as it's not near for me to get there, but supporting good pet shop, it's worth the money and effort.

No need for that if you feed your hammies with fresh veges and fruits everyday. With Foo's Nutri Smoothies, no need to buy those expensive vitamin as they don't really drink much water if they eat fresh food. Go for the Nutri Smoothie is sufficient enough. Can get it from Pet Shack also as it's for sale already.You'll find you need to throw the water away after few days with all the vitamin inside, just like throwing your money. If you insist you wanna buy, I can sell mine...kekeke... I bought it last time when I'm still a noob and thought my hamster must have it

If you feed them from young, they wouldn't. If a adult hamster suddenly given fresh everyday with large amount then they'll get diarrhea.

Here you go:
This is Kiko's tank.

Then I'll be very lucky to have my late Fummofu..... ---> ----> ----> Miss him so much...

I think my JackJack have ruby eyes if I'm not mistaken...

I've 4 bowls in the tank now. 1 for toilet, 1 for Prestige, 1 for fresh food and 1 for smoothie.

Errr.... Better not to let my parents know also. I got 2 Sanko wheels and 3 Wodent wheels.

Yes, it's timothy hay. They like to make nest and sleep on it, chew chew sometimes.

2 months is a long time??? I've been waiting even she got the breeding pairs. Since last year. Still waiting.

You slowly wait hah...kakaka...

Half a year? i don't think so...

Well, bad structure in hamster is not a big deal as people simply breed their hamsters without looking at their quality. Bad structure in hamsters just like ugly face on humans, not a big problem, why are you still taking it seriously? Jojo do look cute also what.

You so bad la, people already don't want to remember and pretend to forget, you still purposely remind me. I already died again and again already. Antidote from getting other Syrians is you! Keep remind myself can not buy cos I'm gonna to have 2 from you, must get ready..... Keep checking them....make sure she get pregnant ya!!!

I think you better ask Crazymouse as Nezu is more an expert in her Mongolian Gerbils... and Syrians...

Even the same breed doesn't mean can mix just like that. There's ways of introduction to both of the hammies before really mix them up or else they will fight also. Correct me if I'm wrong as I only keep Syrians which is solitary, no problem at all as I only need to separate each one of them.

Agreed. Bad structure is just like people who are not good looking. Inbreeding will produce abnormal pups which means the pups may have hairless, genetic problem, cacat and so on, not bad structure.

#Jon
Your JOJO is just not bear bear look. Just like those show quality hamsters have bear bear look and non bear bear look hamsters are not qualified for show quality, just like a beauty contest, not everyone can qualified. Do not mislead other people of 'cacat' with 'bad structure'.

Added on June 3, 2008, 8:14 pmAll my hammies also like that cos they don't used to it. Leave the smoothie till next morning and see how. Repeat it for few days, I'm sure your hammy will eat it.

Sanko wheel is almost the same price with Wodent wheel. CAn get it from Pet Shack also.



Please post in Garage Sales.

All bedding will be stink with their pee.

Thats' Breeder Celect. You can also get Back 2 Nature (B2N) as both are the same material. Go to any big pet shop or Pet Shack and look at the cat section and you can find it. Google or visit Pet Shack website to get the picture of the packaging. More expensive than chippsy as it's much better than chippsy. Can last how long? It's really depends how much you use and how frequent you change the bedding.

I thought you are the one who wanna buy show quality Syrian and wanna give the best to your pets once you keeping them? Then gotta pay the price already lor... Wanna get quality stuffs and need to pay for that price. Woody pet can be use but it's dusty and some hamster do allergy to it as Crazymouse did mentioned before if I'm not mistaken. Corncobs will mold and you need to be careful and get the wet bedding out. Try not to use chippsy if your syrian are long haired as all the shavings will stuck on their hair and make their hair tangle d and you'll have hard time to undo it. It'll make your hamsters fur not nice as well.
