Guys and girls, how do discourage you hammy from sleeping in the toilet? Not very hygenic isn't it?
Then don't put toilet loh. Anyway, hamsters like to sleep in enclosed areas.... and they prefer something cool. Try using Terra cotta hides. I find my RCs love to sleep in and on it during hot days. This is why hamsters like to sleep in bowls, it has a different base than wood shavings, cooler.

Hi everyone i am new here this thread nice

can tell me what type of hamster at the photo cause i just get it few days ago thx


Please do not breed them. One is a pearl WW and another is a hybrid Pudding. It is not good to mixbreed a WW with a hybrid. Only breed WW with WW or hybrid with hybrid.
I don't really encourage people to buy a male and female pair without reading about hamsters, without knowing the species, without knowing their gestation period..... please don't do such things on impulse. Hamsters breed very fast, they can reproduce every 20 days and it would just shorten the female's lifespan....

Hey, actually right, everyone say pump syrian until fat fat is good... but then again, in all animals, dog , cat, rabbit, u name it, being fat isn't healthy?
or is a fat syrian actually its appropriate size?
p/s : i need serious answers, not nonsense like 'fat fat den cute ma'.
Pumping on fresh food won't make a syrian fat like obese.... if we pump with sun flower seeds then yes lah. Also, Syrians are meant to be big and round. Normally if they go over 120g, that is a good size already. Dogs, cats, rabbits all eat food that is high in grain, protein and fat... so when they look fat, is unhealthy. As long you are not pumping too many mealworms and superworms amd sunflower seeds to your hamster, it will grow according to it's natural size.
Our local Syrians are actually all underweight and don't make the Syrian hamster standards..... this is due to not giving good food to breeding hamsters. Those that have a good diet since young would be able to become big hamsters.
