Sigh... Sometimes it happens... Somtimes there are mums who don't know what to do, sometimes there are mums who reject the babies of a few litters after giving birth, then there are those who just don't make a good mum.

I had one mummy hamster who gave birth and promptly started feasting on all her pups (who happen to be moving). It's luck...

i separate the male dy..
the male robo i bought earlier, then some pp told me that if robo live alone, it will shorter thier live..
thats why i bought him a partner..
wont make same mistake anymore..
i hope the mother doesnt reject the babies.. but i cant c what she is doing in the nest coz full of tissue and she didnt go out from the nest, except for eat and drink..

gratz... mine charm lo..
almost 6 months liaw bt didnt c any babies...

good luck...
js try ur best

maybe 1 of them sterile?
some robo also didnt accept the partner easily...
b4 i dun think my robos will mate and have baby this fast.. i didnt know that she was pragnant, suddently c the babies.. OMG..

@tina, should have bought same sex partner loh.. but what's done cannot be undone lah.. wish the best for both mum & babies..

This is a satin black eyed cream.....

what about the double satin gene? That day u say look very ugly.
How does it actually look like? Cause Ryo's hamster, had some shiny fur, some normal fur. could it be double satin?

double satin is like cacat... reli weird... veri veri short hair.. i saw in a website before... u wouldnt wanna c it...

If she spends a lot of time with the babies it's a good sign. Give her more milk boosting stuff and we'll see.

Meantime you might want to start preparing cages for the babies.

I noticed my hamster now has less oily coat. Hair is growing back at the bald spots, but still rather matter towards the bum.

It's a great, great, GREAT improvement from last time. She tolerates brushing when given sunflower seeds, but the collected tufts of fur are so packed I actually considered using a find toothed comb to fray it before brushing. Unfortunately little Bean never stays long once all the sunflowers are gone.

The fur is still a bit dirty but not balding anymore.

Currently she's on Sluis ( that's the only healthy hamster food they have at Megamall) with 5-6 Sunflower seeds and a pinch of split green beans with the skin removed (It's dhal I think). The bowl is refilled every 2-3 days because she's one really picky and slow eater...must force her to finish most of it.

Occasionally when mom cooks chickpeas we'll give her 3 biji. I have some super sweet corn frozen in the freezer. She's a corn addict, and I know it's not good to feed that too much so only a little pinch. Is it ok to give the little pinch every day or every other day?

I have to be cautious giving fresh things because her house is very hard to clean. She rejected my clay aromatherapy holder totally so back to the same hard-to-clean house. Now the bowl where you put water to heat up is now the foodbowl

I changed it because...she peed in the old plastic container where I put the food. Contamination to the max, so must change.

Yeah she's not toilet trained and I'm fine with that as long she don't do it inside her bowl. Actually...kinda concerned because they're also inside her house. Sigh, what to do...she's inside the house 80% of the time.

I couldn't find a double satin pic... but I have seen it before with my own eyes.... it really looks botak coz the fur is flat, not fluffy, extra shiny like it is wet or oily....

Hmm. Then what on earth is Ryo's hamster. XD
His one as Jamien said, at the back there behind his ears are like a lil shiny, satin-like, and curly curly a lil. Then the rest of its body mostly normal fur.

mayb he did a minor perm + highlight there... lolx

I don't think so. I think he not so free qua. He got 2 more pets.

But it's really just that small patch. Can consider as satin?

btw where u saw that double satin pix?

hahaha, true. Poor satin gene? got such thing? =/
Gee. I want his hamster...

How i wish Ocha was tame like that..

I went to Pet Family just now, saw a lot of black gene syrians. Cute!
But I don't understand why some is greyish black while some are, totally black?

neshie, i forgot d... bt it luks like skin disease... dun even luk lik hamster... reli weird

The greyish ones are sables, not blacks. There is only 1 more true black in there and it looks like a rat. The prettier black I bought jor for my bf's younger brother.

I hope you didn't buy yar.

My Roche is tame like button mushroom. But my Ferro is exactly like your ocha...

Huh?? Why cannot buy?? The black really looks like RAT, i like the sable ones better

If buy from petshop, how to tame them?

My ocha? What mean?

Sorry sorry. Ocha is neshie's sable banded.

So ugly de hamster you want meh... Its feature really look like a rat! There is one really pretty sable banded inside. We were considering the black and that cute sable but since we were paying RM 25 for a black, we thought may as well get a true black banded. If you're going to buy a hamster that looks like a rat with a really short tail, go and get a fancy mouse la... So wasted.

Petshop ar... Same like how u tame every hamster lo. But they are not very easy to tame. Roche is a breeder's syrian. Ferro is a petshop syrian. Ocha was bought at the same place as Ferro. So from the trouble we both seem to be having, you prefer breeder bred or petshop bought?

ocha is her baby (sable banded)...
