@Jamien: yalo, still can't intro, she'll be paranoid and stay at the corner if i put them together in a tank with a splitter(i used the tank cover) in between.

@jayniel: hehe, by tat time u told me to put a splitter in between, i straight away start the constructions ady:), din see your subsequent msg. I did put her alone in the new tank after i brought her back from you, but she juz look not happy, the coat become wet and shivering on the wheel. After i put in other robos on the other side of the splitter, she looks better and start wondering around and sand bathing herself. Another thing -> If any buyer of her sisters or brothers FFK, do let me know

Poor hamster. May ur hamster rest in peace.

Hehe, my robos will juz simply poo or pee on any sand they encounter. Then they will still bath on the same sand until they think the sand is really dirty to bath with.

MY NEW FEMALE ROBO STAT: Calming down at the corner of the tank.
MY OLD ROBOS: Sleeping on the other side of the splitter... so far.

I'm using a habitrail playground for 2 of my robos now, so far not much problematic except the cage comes with extra iron for my robos. They always like to climb up and chew on those metal bars... now i use some 1.5inches width plastic card to block them from climbing up.

But for habitrail mini, IMO, i think it's not very practical. First of all, the mushroom water bottle... and the hanging wheel... etc... You ask me run on a hanging wheel, i also die lo, dun mention bout hamster.

The explanation here is pretty simple:
Any hamster that is not robo, need to be seperated. Even they don't fight now, doesn't mean that they WOULDN'T fight, it's juz the matter of time.

Erm~~~ sounds like my current situation. I got a female robo which i got from jayniel few days ago, been tried to intro to existing pair but failed. Now i'm keeping the new robo alone in another cage and hopefully will calm it down and relief the stress.
The new robo will start screaming even if there is another robo across the splitter... headache....

At least u can still feed them mealies... i'll get fainted if i see one whole box of mealies crawling in front of me...:star:
BTW, can hammy eat egg york?... I tried to feed my robos egg white, but they didn't even bite it...

Hehe, of coz it was boiled... but they juz grabbed one, sniffed, and throw away. Damn swt~~

You got the point
Instead of discussing and arguing on the diabetes issue and the smoothie, you guys seems to moved ur focus onto jayniel and start pointing every damn thing at her, and discussed on her intention of starting this discussion.

Added on August 27, 2008, 11:56 amTo me, i prefer the natural bath sand without any smell. Maybe the sand smell gud to human but not to the small one, and i think it'll confuse their sense of smelling also.

I remember the delikate one comes in a green color label container....

@nezu
But nowadays, chinese tofu that sell around my area comes in those plastic sealed packing, and no more in the old look. Can still be fed to my hammies? And also, my hamster like your smoothies very well... they start showing me tricks or climb up and down when i open up the container near their cage.

Anyone got experience how to intro a robo from a different bloodline and batch?... My existing pair of robos will get too excited and start chasing the new robo when i put her into the cage. Then the new robo will start screaming and hide at the corner.

Methods that i have tried:
* A tank separated half, 1(new):2(old). I poked few holes on the splitter itself.
Result: New robo become paranoid and start screaming if she smell another robo on the other side of the splitter.

* Try to calm down the new robo for few days in a different cage, but put next to the old cage. The new cage, i've change all the bedding and display, juz that i din wash it with vinegar+water as some LYNer suggested.
Result: Still panic when i put her in a container with holes, and put the container into the old cage with 2 robos.

Will try switching cages on sunday...
I tried switching bathing sand and wheels also, coz this 2 things got lotz of lotz of pees, so i tot i might get them to know each other. But so far didn't see the effect yet...

Hi everyone, I'm still new in this hamster thread as well as keeping hamsters. I got something here to suggest, but first of all I need to beg for you all not flame me or whatever...

I read lotz of your argument between "say yes to smoothies" and "say no to smoothies" camps, and I tried google a some sites and found out really a lot of sites mentioned do not feed fruits to certain breed of hamsters. So, the fact of feeding fruits or not, is quite obvious in this case.

Same thing goes to nezu's smoothie. Why is every one say it's good and excellent? Becoz lotz of ppl bought and saw their hamster grow up pretty fast. That's why it's good.

While we don't really know 100% of the whole recipe of the smoothie, I think nezu is the one and only person that can complete this task: Why don't come out another flavor of smoothie, which contain not so many fruits and sugary content that can make everyone happy? For instance, if you go to buy some fruit jam in the supermarket, you can see some of those labeled as "Consumable by Diabetes Patient" or so, why don't you do the same thing as well. As most of us treat our hamster as human. (I did talk to them and lecture them sometimes... ). And the most important thing, I think most of us believe in one thing -> "Better be safe than sorry"

For those who almost want to start a flame on me now:
Why is nezu come out with this smoothie at the first place? Becoz she took many ppl advice and start distribute it instead of using it alone. And now I hope nezu can consider my suggestion as well at this moment.

Thank you for not flaming...

Insectivore-Fare can be found in jtl's thread. It's meant for inserts eater. not cheap though.

Vaseline is not soluble, but to human is not poisonous, not sure on hammies. Last time i used to put it on my lips when it's dry.

Nope....

But if you want to improve it in the future or want to create new flavor, plz do consider my opinion.
For now, CONTINUE FEED THEM WITH RED DEVIL..... lol

Now i'm feeding them 3 teaspoons for 3 robos, and they can finish it in 2 hours or less. Shud i put more and keep there overnite? I scare they continue feeding on it until they get diarrhea...

Got anyone feed hamsters with mixed smoothies(2 or 3 flavors together) or not ar?... juz asking....

Oh... talking bout expiry date... i better go check later.... as i rmb, my red devil will expire around early sept.

@sangel: thanx. coz i wan to intro them other flavors slowly, and i've decided to mix the smoothie to let them get use to it slowly. Like some of you saying, your hamster hates a certain flavor... Dunno leh... juz a thought of mine.

Aih... gathering... wish i can go and meet you all and also take a look a nezu's fatsoso, even though i dun prefer huge size, but they seems chubby~~~ . But need to finish up some assignments... when will be the next gathering ar? Happy gathering to you all though...

I bought a box of tofu this afternoon. Since our hammies only consume a lil bit at a time, how do prevent the tofu from getting spoil? After open, i think can only keep 1-2 days more in the fridge...
