Hey guys, am thinking of buying a syrian sometime around end of the month or early next month when i move to my new house.
Is Pets World in Midvalley a good place to buy my hamster and get the other stuff?
or is there some other place i can go to?
am staying in cheras, my friend will be driving me when i want to go buy it, so if got other locations prefer not to hard to find places
thanks!

1 syrian
+ Cage
+ Wheel
+ Bedding that can absorb the smell of the urine
+ Chew toy
+ Water bottle
+ food
+ the rolling ball thing so it can run around the house

and what are the recommended brands for the food and bedding and cage? and should i get a plastic/glass cage or a mesh?

hmm price not bad, but i'm leaning more towards a steel cage so the lil guy has more stuff to do.. like climb. lol

is it cheaper than Pets World?

ok, pets shack it is then
thanks guys!

hmm, but wouldnt a chew toy help the hamsters not chew like mad on the cages? if i buy a cage i would buy a stainless steel one of course
what about the hamu kichi cages?

hmm, from your responses it seems i'll more likely get a plastic tank
but i dont have a big budget, so the zooone is a tad expensive, even with jtl's starter kit,
how big is the 2ft tank btw? and is there anything like that but bigger

just took out a tape measurer, 2ft tank is big indeed, 60cmish

JackJack is a spy hamster or what? so hebat one

ok, i've decided to go with jtl's rm180 starter kit, thanks for the recommendation and advice guys

oh yea, i'm thinking of buying bathing sand too, should i buy a container or something for the sand?

also, how do you actually train a hamster to use a litter pan?

cant wait for my new semester to start so i can wrongfully use my ptptn money to get a hamster

i remember when i was young and staying with cousins, they recieved two syrians as a gift, got quite a big fancy tank, but they fought like mad and one had to stay in a small dingy observation box like thing while the other one conquered most of the box, poor bugger

i dont think the point is that they didnt fight
the point is that they're uncomfortable living with other hamsters :/

btw, is the Living World Exercise Ball medium big enough for a syrian?
or do they have bigger balls?

just afraid that someday it'll outgrow it, and i like to pinch pennies sometimes

can i bring a hamster in a ball to a park and let it run around like crazy?
cause there's a small park/playground outside the house i'll be moving into not long from now (after which i'll buy the hamster )

well the park is right outside the house lol, maybe it can have more fun running around in the grass
but yeah the health concerns was something i was wondering about.

was worried more about disease than parasites, but you make a good point, i think i'll not let it out of the house if i get the ball

another question about the ball, lets say i let my niece play with the hamster while its in a ball, assuming she doesnt start shaking/kicking/shoving the ball should i be worried?

wow, zoozone 2 is really big

hey guys, since fruit isnt really an option i'll have often for fresh food,
can i feed a hamster those frozen mixed veg? (thawed of course)

Colby

oo, i thought the smoothies was just a treat kind of thing, guess i should read more properly
