guys... i didnt hear any sound from the babies... when is the best time to check the mom n babies??

This one interesting.

@Tina: I think should be at least 1 week before you can take a look, to play safe.

Play safe. Don't check on them unnecessary. If your mummy hamster feels it's not safe, she will eat the babies, or abandon them.

About 10-14 days of birth, the hamster babies will start walking around even if their eyes are not open yet. You slowly see them then lo.

I start handling them when they're running around at about 20 days old, and can eat solids already. If the mummy is tame and she comes to you, the babies will learn from her to do the same. That's the benefit of breeding tame hammies.

hhaha she do it, but not in 1 day, everyday i put 1 - 2 tissue in hhehe..

teach him some lesson...
bt instead of raid his thread,
i buy 2
so cannot say i disturb..
js asking 4 extra service

aiyaiyaiyai


make it 6" but i think, 6" pun quite small for an adult WW, can fit 1 WW only.


==============================================================

Update on my "New Ebony" and Ivory,
currently i put them in 1 tank, they seems ok to live together, but they wont get near to each other.
whenever, the female is going near to the male and try to smell his ass, the male keep squeaking and run away.
but they didnt fight, only squeak2 and run.

should i separate them for a longer time.

the female is almost 2 month old. the male is 1+ old too (if im not mistake right Jayniel?)
but the male is slightly smaller then the female

i guess all the babies died
the mom sleep outside the nest today, and i c all the 6 babies didnt move..

oh dear.. sorry Tina, but sometime this happen

just to let everyone know.. the Uncle Taro Survivor Powder & Staple Powder is availale in Pet Shack.

so if any hammi sick, refuse to eat, need syringe feed, don't panic ok.. just contact Pet Shack, jtl or me. but still u need to bring ur hammi to vet. medication side i canot help. its just a nutrition food which is in powder form for u to syringe feed them. they need energy n nutrtion to keep their body strong, to fight with the sickness also to tahan the medication.

i hope this will help anyone when there is emergency case.

ya.... i know it will happen, coz the mommy too young and this is her 1st litter...
but she is a good mom, she didnt eat the babies..
now i still separate the male and female, scare later mating again..
wont put them together for a while...

Not to say I'm being cruel, but if her kids are dead, it's better if she eats them. Then she can quickly regain back lost nutrients since pregnancy and get back on her feet faster. She will be ready for her next litter better.

Perhaps she didn't know what to do lo. Still, leave her and the kids alone. Maybe they're not moving cuz asleep or something. If they're really dead she will clean up.

Anyhow don't feel sad lar. There's always next time.

OMG, is it?? but i already bury the dead bodies... scare later got smell and worm...
will give the mom some healthy food then..

yesterday jz went to pet safari to get some hamster stocks...

suddenly..i saw these type of hamster,roborovski...but the unique of this robo is...it has all white surface...only a little bit choc line on his upper body...but have one only lorh....i think not white face,coz the choc color only a little bit only...i think it is robo type coz the body type,the leg,habit,the misai n the eyes exactly like robo....

QUESTION IS...

is this are what people called platinum robo???have in msia???or jz genetic problem???

thinking of buying it...but afraid it has gene prob...

Just fed my hammie coconut, she seemed to like it very much.

Coconut is edible for hamster right ?

yesterday, go see a petstore .. coz my sis said got albino ferret. so go there to check it out .. and guess whats the first thing i see .. the worker there is clipping the hamster teeth with a nail clipper ..shish ..

How on earth did that person open the hamster's mouse without getting a bite ?

just finish cleaning my 2 syrian cage.. phew..

when i wanna pick them up, maybe my hand got soap smell, they got shock and slip away from my hand.. scared me only

hmm, if u want to breed, better breed when the female is 4 months & above.. cos how if they breed now, and Ivory's health deteriorate & die young? when it's 4 months time, Ivory sure can accept Ebony as her mate.. right now, since she's slightly more dominant & there's a possibility of premature breeding, best is u separate loh, since u got another cage

Added on July 12, 2008, 10:51 pmi wanna ask ya, if the hamster's teeth naturally grow senget & overgrown, how to cut it? it grows at a very fast rate, so i must cut it often.. i measured my other hamster's teeth length & so i know agak2 how much to cut.. but i don't know cut using wat.. if use nail clipper, will the hamster feel painful? anyone encountered this?

By the way, Nezu...you should send your latest hamster pictures to Cuteoverload.com

yes coconut is ok to feed, but always nothing too much ya

its normal to clip overgrow teeth no worries...n they r not doing anything bad

yellow = healthy.
overgrow.. use the corner of our small nail clip will do.
