thanks.

never noticed large and hard food.
later go check

i will cut into small pieces for my ww

Sure sure! She is now a big girl already.

I've been waited since last year when she planning to breed her hamsters and getting enough good homes. I don't think she will breed for the 2nd batch as the 1st batch not even confirm. She is not breeding for profit but breed because of demand from good homes. Maybe you guys gotta wait until next year for her next breed.

Nezu don't have 'some' sable banded, she only got one. Now she is in Ipoh and her name is MOMO.

Wah!! Still so many things to do to the tank, means your tank is not ready la... better get your tank ready before you get the hamster. Too many changes will stress the hamster up and it will cause death to it if serious.

Good to hear that you wanna read and learn more before having one and I believe you can be a responsible owner and not like others just wanna keep and yet dunno anything but just keep saying they are noob. Red eyes don't mean that they are aggressive, it have poorer eye sight compare to black eyes. Aggressive is because the hamster is not tame. For me, the gender do not have any different in terms of tame or aggressive. Just that it will be more smelly and stinky if it's a female (i'm refering to Syrian). A half tame hamster will try to nip and explore when you handle them, but after some time they will be fine after they get used to you.

Ohh,really?How to indentify which is syrian type? But as I've saw in few shops,they don't have those winter white you've mentioned. Mostly are mixed colours like brown and grey How much is the price for winter white & syrian? I saw the cheapest price they sell in 1 of the shop are just RM15 for each hamsters (small size) Is that a reasonable price or there is something wrong with the hamsters with this kind of prices? Hehe,they nibble that time I said "Ahh,they bite me!!" Lolx,noob me

erm, then her latest batch also dun have? omg i think i seriously need to make my "blurness" disease go away.
hmm. i dunno where to pinjam saw. =/
sangels u think if the ventilation holes on the cover enough? (i poked ALOOOOT of holes )

OMGGGG so fat and chubbyyy!

Actually I think you should ask yourself what kind of temperament you want from your hamster? What size?

Syrians are big. They need a lot of space and they are solitary, so they must be housed alone. They hardly bite and can be handled quite easily. I think consider as a beginner hammie, especially for children. Many many colors and very nice to hold.

Russian Campbell, Winter White and Roborovski are dwarf hamster breed. in other words they are smaller. And definitely more challenging to tame than syrians (In my opinion).

Between the 3, the biggest dwarf is RC I think. It has many interesting colors to choose from and the study of breeding its genes is fascinating. They're notorious biters so get a tame one from a home breeder if you can.

Winter white is the second smallest of the three. I don't know much about them cuz I have only helped to board them in my home for a short period of time.

The dwarves of all dwarf hamsters is the Roborovski. All Robos look the same, with the rare exception of the white faced roborovski. They're the fastest and the hardest to tame aside from being the smallest. They can live in groups, and in fact, my robos NEED at least one companion each or they would become too scared. I even had a robo who refused to eat after its companion died, until I got it another companion. Taming them is hard but when you succeed, it feels very rewarding and satisfying.


I suggest you do more research and get the hammie's home ready before you get one.

So cute Is this the winter white type? Since its all white

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.

read the first page to identify the types. and no that is not the winter white

its a russian campbell. i also wish its a winter white

Understood
Hmm...any potential home breeder here? If those who sell it in the shop,will the hamster tend to be more aggrasive? Maybe the same concept to puppymills in which they breed them in a large quantities for the purposes of selling it without even bother to care about the qualities for hamsters?
Do they have any particular age for hamsters to start taming them with?

"Hmm...any potential home breeder here?"

I think there are some in Garage Sales. Or u can get in Petshack. Their hamsters all so cute and fluffy.

Honestly, you can google up a lot of the information that you want to know about. then come back here if you find any information that is weird or want to know/share experience

Aww..they are all cutie pies I think I saw winter white;Agouti type of hamsters in 1 of the shop I've visited. Really small size,can we tell how old are they by sizes? If not then how are we going to know whether how old is the hamsters?
