nezu latest feedback from me since i got 4ww now.. all of them like the mango and apple

sitiawan is near lumut, im not sure if there is any vet but im sure theres a lot of pet shop

the smaller package is for dwarf hamster and the large one is for normal hamster and the large package have larger food and harder. i bought the large one at pet shack before when the first i got my first hamster and they dont really want to eat it, and the next time i bought the small package at the PLC because its more appropriate for dwarf hamster.

red eye or black eye is just the same, it depends on how tame they are.
for me i like small but fat size hamster so ill go for winter white or RC.
yes they do nip every thing to taste.

its ok to give them but the one for syrian have large and hard food in it.

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

some of updates on my ww hamster, click on picture for larger view

This is my kaori latest picture




this is kaori tank setup

and this is one of my new hamster that i got from jayniel
ps: jayniel why is he always sleep like a dead hamster? damn horror

yes she is ww agouti, she is quite big lol i give her some vitamin drinks and she eat alot lol
and yes thats a 1.5ft tank

i use the vitamin for drinks, its quite useful u know if u bought a pet from a pet shop since they didn't eat really well. those vitamin help to increase the hammy selara makan. well u know what most pet shop feed the hammy, most of them feed sun flower seeds only am i right. so if u use it they will have the appetite to eat other food bc some that have been trained to eat seeds will continue to pick only seeds to eat. like one of mine, he didn't even touch other.

finally i can pickup with this threads... 100++ post since i last view

V | these are some of info for taking care of your hammy if they have this conditions | V

Condition - Symptoms

1. Bite wounds - Sores, lacerations, red or irritated areas, or infection

2. Cheek pouch problems - Pouches are swollen and painful when touched.

3. Diarrhea - Liquid feces, wet around rear end.

4. Ear Problems - Scratching and digging in ears

5. Stomach Problems - Loss of weight, lack of appetite, diarrhea, or sits in a hunched over position.

6. Heatstroke - The hamster appears dead or comatose and is weak and unresponsive.
^(place them in a 60-90 degree temperature to prevent this, i read about it somewhere before)

7. Nails - Nails tear or bleed because of the excessive length.

8. Breathing difficulties - Sneezing, difficulty breathing and wheezing

What To Do

1. If possible, try to cleanse the wounds with a tiny amount of hydrogen peroxide. Keep the wound clean. Otherwise, see a vet.

2. Check inside mouth and try to remove any objects. This is quite difficult so consult a vet.
Be sure the pouches actually have problems before taking the animal to the vet. Lots of hamsters always overstuff their pouches.

3. Try to rehydrate the hamster by offering more water. But, you must contact a vet. This is probably wet tail and you will need medication immediately.

4. Ask a vet. It could be mites or possibly, disease.

5. Isolate and rehydrate. Take away all green foods. If problem persists, take to the vet.

6. Take to a cool room, and while holding in hand, set the hamster into cool water.
Keep the head above water. Carefully and completely dry the hamster. Make sure you keep them out of drafts! As soon as they are conscious, rehydrate.

7. Trim the tips of the nails down to the quick with baby nail clippers or take your hamster to the vet and ask them to do it.

8. First, what kind of bedding are you using? If it is cedar, remove it immediately!! Otherwise, get your hamster to the vet quickly.

Good luck!
btw if you have any doubt please refer from your nearest vet.

all of them are doing great, and the one that i bought from PLC is quite tame now heheh.. he quite scared before but two day later hes ok already and he like to go out from his tank, he is ww pearl.

great do post he/shes picture ok
i dont really like big animals but syrian in picture do look quite cute lol..

i think he maybe have internal damage, u better bring him to the vet and check

mine are also scared but not until he squeaking like that. and i manage to get him trust me in just 2 days.
hamster from a bad pet shop often have bad condition and died in a week, so it not that you have something to lose if you go and have a check. but be sure to see the way your hammy react first like the way he walk etc to see any sign of bone that might be break or have any other injuries. or if he really just scared try to just hold em often

btw does he look weak? i meant dont really eat, drink and sleep alot?
