Scratches is fine. It just looks not so nice only. Why waste? Right?

Me lucky mar. So happen someone ffk and I meeting up wif her to go hammy hunting so I bought lor.

The guy in the thread is crazy... All he has to do is stuff a cloth under his door to stop it sneaking into his room...

put the toilet sand in the toilet loh.. u can get Frisian non-clumping cat litter as the toilet sand.. the toilet sand has a type of cement smell, usually hamsters will know that it's their toilet.. if not, take the bedding that contain his pee & put inside the toilet.. slowly he'll know that's his toilet.. but most of my hamsters automatically pee on the toilet sand, no need for me to train de..

My hammie only pee at the toilet, she doesn't poo there, she poo everywhere

Any idea how to "fix" this ar ?

true. reduce reuse recycle!! muahahahaha.
LOL. which guy?

my hammie doesn't poo at the toilet too. I guess poo's are fine.. =/

Well, i guess the poo ain't that smelly right ?

Actually I'm having this problem also. But as long as they just pee in the sand I'm ok. Their poo is not smelly but their pee sure is.

The guy in the thread that iced placed a link on. That guy really horrible la.

My hammie, everytime when i wanna feed her my own, she will groom herself, it takes almost 15 minutes for her to do the grooming
Wash ketiak, wash her butt, wash her back... Woke up must be hungry liao but still wan gantung harga by grooming herself, don't wanna eat the food

Just like mine. When they just woke up, I must give them some time to stretch stretch, yawn a few times and then do grooming session. When done they'll wanna come out for thei flooring time in the exercise ball. Then 15 minutes before I put them back in their cages I will melt their smoothie for them.

Ferro is a long hair syrian so his fur still growing. But he everytime also groom his fur until berserabut wan. So weird. Roche's fur is also becoming dense.

But this is all ok since they say a hamster who yawns is a happy hamster.

BTW my robos always pee and poo in their toilet but not my syrians. Weird.

hmmm.....if like that 2moro will need to buy one already....
wat about bathroom? will it be needed ?

Just get a normal bowl and a pack of toilet sand. Get a heavy bottom bowl so that it doesn't topple when your hamsters try to climb onto their bathroom. Get a toilet that's large enouugh for a syrian lor.

yawn = happy ?

Like that mine too, she always yawn while stretching her back, sometimes she yawn while she is climbing the vertical pipe, she climbs with her back legs both widely open, like spiderman

I got 3 spare bathrooms. Keep changing because all of my Syrians getting fat and cannot use the bathrooms.

I read that when a hamster yawns, it shows that the hamster is happy and contented. A hamster under stress will not yawn.

Take a picture lar~ I wanna see! Hehe...

uh. dun get it. hahaha.
which guy?

but when they yawn.....their incisors....

______________________

btw, syrian hammie owners, how smelly is their pee, and how often do you change their toilet sand?

Soon soon soon... My sis' noob HP can't take clear & fast pic

My hammie's teeth shocked me for the first few days, i was scared to touch her, not even feed her

I didn't use sand because they will clump and will stick on the hammie's body, the sand will be all over the cage
I use bedding instead, to absorb the pee, 1 or 2 days i will change the bedding when it is smelly.

About the smell, don't know how to describe lah, hamster's smell

IC....mayb can get the bowl like the food bowl i bought loh....
hmmm....normally those toilet i saw is kind of small....hard to find big one loh.....

Read this. This guy in this thread.

Yawning shows they are relax. How you expect them to keep their inscissors when they yawn.

Roche's pee is VERY smelly. I change once in 2 days. She pees a lot although all the moisture she gets is from nezu's smoothie.

Ferro's toilet starts to smell after some 5 or 6 days.

So basically I change wheneever it smells.

@coltrain: Well, actually those brown bowl will do. I stopped using those toilet already cuz my hamster love to scratch the sand all over the place ans it'll end up being kicked out of the bathroom. A bowl has higher sides and most of the sand stays in the bowl no matter how they scratch it.

so,if like that toilet and bathroom also get those brown bowl loh....much more easy....just that not so fancy loh....

Nice solid cream syrian you got there.

Get a smaller bowl and exchange your food bowl with a smaller bowl. The current brown bowl use as a toilet and the smaller bowl use as food bowl. Syrian only require 1-2 teaspoon of dry food per day.

Get Frisian non-clumping cat litter for the toilet sand. Remember non-clumping as it is safe for hamsters. If you see your hamsters chewing on the cat litter, don't worry is ok. They just need their minerals for it. You see that they will eat back their poo also

No need bathroom as syrian will groom themselves. You just need to wipe them with a damp cloth once a week or they get poo or pee on their fur. Currently my long hair solid cream, SamSam, is getting lots of poo stuck on his on fur at his backside. Really a dirty boy.
