It's been about 3 weeks that I brought him home. I think he was one month plus when I  brough him back. Since I bought him when we all one gang went hammie hunting, Hun mentioned that Ferro was male.  But she like not sure like that. Cuz his underparts were very furry.

One weeks later Nezu delivered smoothie to my place and help me check his sex. She say he is female. Cuz "he got no ball ball" as she put it.

Then she say MAYBE his testicles will show after he gain some weight. So Ferro remained an unsure gender till today.  Sometimes I dunno wanna refer to Ferro as he or she. Me myself also confuse dy.

Then today my sister handle Ferro and Roche. Then at eye level, I saw his testicles. Not big at all since it's not noticeable unless I look at eye level. Then can see 2 "bump" which Roche didn't have.

So I completed my dream and have 1 male and 1 female syrian. But I have no intentions of breeding them. Just for the experience.

So don't have to look for hamsters anymore after this. Syrian experience complete.

i use veseline:), like mite say, any comsumable oil or baby oil will do. but not cooking oil ah. cooking wil become sticky after sometime.
finally hahha.. i am sure with ur good food he grow up now
normal a well feed hammi can see in early age, but sometime when we get from pet shop they r not so well feed since baby(from breeder to the shop), then they may not develop so soon.

after we bring them home with good intake. they will grow and will show.

Hi Guys,

Im new here and probably have a few noob question on hamster. Hope you guys can clear my doubts.

Q1. Is Syrian hamster the chubbiest, fattest looking hamster among the 5 species? If not which species is that?

Q2. Correct me if im wrong, i read on the 1st page stating 2 Syrian hamster shall not be placed in the same cage. But i was wondering how come those petshop able to place groups of the same species under the same cage?

Q3. How much lifespan is an average Hamster? Or they varies between species?

Q4. I still have doubts placing a SINGLE Syrian hamster in a cage will not bored it to death. I always thought the more the merrier.
Thx

Q1. Is Syrian hamster the chubbiest, fattest looking hamster among the 5 species? If not which species is that?
Ans: all animals can be chubby if they are well feed, but syrian is the biggest size in hammi family.

Q2. Correct me if im wrong, i read on the 1st page stating 2 Syrian hamster shall not be placed in the same cage. But i was wondering how come those petshop able to place groups of the same species under the same cage?
Ans: Pet shop do not have soooo much space to seperate them into single tank, also most of the pet shop do not care.  so don't simply go any petshop to get ur hammi.

Q3. How much lifespan is an average Hamster? Or they varies between species?
Ans: about 2 yrs +-

Q4. I still have doubts placing a SINGLE Syrian hamster in a cage will not bored it to death. I always thought the more the merrier.
Ans: Syrian is SOLITARY, so there is no 'bored' in their dictionary.

i use veseline:), like mite say, any comsumable oil or baby oil will do. but not cooking oil ah. cooking wil become sticky after sometime.

Any shop suggest me to get all the stuff for the hamster? example: cages,food and etc
among all the species of hamster,which type is more sociable?

How about Johnson & Johnson baby lotion ? Good to be used as lubricant for the wheel ? I did rub some of it at the wheel there plus it is good to smell 
Can hamster go through X-Ray ? Is there any bone fracture ?

Buy hamsters from breeders. but there are also unethical breeders, so do ask around for a good breeder..
You can actually purchase from pet stores, but sometimes hamsters from petstores aren't tamed.
You can get your hamster stuffs from any pet shops, but you gotta keep in mind that there are shops who carry stuffs that aren't good for hammies. Eg. Pine shavings and such. Do make more research before purchasing your pet and the items..
I can say robo's are more sociable than the rest, though RC's can be mixed in a small group with conditions.

i think he means sociable towards humans
