Hi all new to this thread! Just got myself a Winter White last week. Wanted to know on the bedding, would it be alright to use Chipsi Plus with Apple for the hammie?

so fast version 9..
hey mai i know how 2 check my hamster izit pregnant edy???

chipsi apple/citrus is pine bedding, its not good for ur hamster, change it quickly, use chipsi classic or chipsi super...

pregnant hamster will become very agressive and fat..

How about Vitakraft Kleintier Streu ? Is it Pine ?

Just got a container of Uncle Taro's Nutri Smoothie(Sunset Breeze) from Pet Shack and thankfully, both my hamsters(a WW and a Syrian) love it.

One question though, is it advisable to feed the recommended amount(1 tablespoon for Syrians) in one feeding or separate it into 2 feedings since my Syrian is unable to finish 1 tablespoon in one shot and I was wondering that it might go bad in a few hours time?

it's up to you.
there's no harm feeding it seperately 2times.

yes u can feed seperatly. if later on ur syrian able to finished. then u can add more for them its no harm to feed them more. it will benefit them

thanks for supporting.

What I'm actually asking is whether is it harmful to feed 1 tablespoon in 1 shot since my hamster is unable to finish, so my question is, would the remainder go bad in the cage?

One more thing, is it okay to feed the Smoothie before letting it de-frost?

thanks for the tip, i was going to get it but after thinking for a while, i didn't coz i want to check on this thread first. lucky! hmm i guess i will need to go and find where they sell the chipsi classic or super...

I just came back from Midvalley's Pet Wonderland. Their Chipsi classic has become RM 25 instead of the initial RM 21. Along with a string of other products.

Their syrians are priced at RM 35 although I don't see anything special plus many many injured hammies...There was one RC with a very bad eye infection. Still got this girl point at it and say "cutenya!"

Damn speechless.

BTW Roche's dipping habits have gone to a new level. She has created dry food dipped in smoothie and also mealworm dipped in smoothie in the past. Today she created doggie chew sticks in smoothie.

have no idea about this brand..

aiyaiyai!
lambat! cant recall my last question in the previous thread.

anyway, CONGRATS V9

rm 35....
why on earth so expensive? it's not even those super nice rare ones right? i saw white, cinammon's and all..

Wah. Roche can dip so many stuff. Ocha doesn't do that. haha

Dunno la. I also don understand why they sell so expensive. Just white and cinnamon, youre right.

Ferro doesn't do that either. Roche woke up dy. Very rare. Usually she sleep until 10.

it's totally up to ur own judgement whether u want to feed it in one shot or separate into 2 times.. if ur hamster is not a big eater, then better separate to 2 times, or more, dependind on how much it eats per time..

u can put it in their food bowl and serve to them while still frozen, it will melt quite fast.. i heard it's ok for adults to feed on cold food, but not for babies.. not too sure about this..

i saw the syrians too few weeks ago.. the syrians are even more expensive than the dwarfs, which is abnormal
i also saw a gerbil with the tail 'missing' and a wound at that tail part.. guess some staff pulled it by the tail.. and it was still for sale..

tat's y i dislike mid valley pet shop.. they got so much money y dun wan send the staff for training? even my bf knows more bout hamsters than some of them do

Thanks Jayniel. Any idea how long can the smoothie last uneaten in the cage? I've read that you can leave it overnight and that's like about 12 hours? I've also read some people saying that it can only last for a few hours in room temperature so I'm kinda confused? 12 hours or few hours? Where's nezuuu, I need answers!

You can leave it out for almost 1 day. Sangels mostly feed them 2 spoonfuls at night with the smoothie and by morning or afternoon it will be all gone.

The funny part was, there's nothing special about the syrians. They all look like adults, big and basically old. Maybe they wanna mmake syrians come in trend again by selling more expensively?

I agree wif you. Even MY bf knows more about hammies than they do. I saw a hammie that just gave birth to about 4 babies. I only saw a few slices of carrots in the tank, nothing else. Plus it's STILL on display for everyone to gawk at. My gosh.

Good news ! I was able to touch Jilly just now, following Nezu's guide by disassembling everything in the cage which left an open area for my finger to approach her.

She tried to run away at first but then i gave her a slice of apple, then i slowly stroke her back. After eating she went to sleep, curled up near the wall while im stroking her, then she was asleep already O_O

I will repeat this tomorrow's night, hopefully she will get to know me

Congrats! Hopefully she will climb your hand on her own
