O! Syrian! Then I am sure athirah will have a good time being a hamster owner. Nice to know comeone is joining our community soon.

I'm going for a syrian, since I'm a pet-er.. Now am asking around, I know the highly sought after is nezumitaro's fatsosos, no offense but I want orangey syrian.. .. My friend say I very 'gan jiong', coz I already put the bedding in the Ovo, now imagining the hamster is there ady..

aiyak...not reserve yet...she afraid that her friend still want to buy from pets wonderland...huhu...but i welcome her if she want to reserve...hahaha

fatsoso not easy to get though. nezu quite choosy in picking new homes...
Get your hamster from a home breeder is advisable, from petshop, normally will buy back a bitey hamster. And the most important part, petshop will sell u sick hamster even if they knew it was sick, and a trusted home breeder wun do tat.

ya lor, too bad i cant come ><

have fun

Why is bean sleeping like this in front of her house? Something in it? Need to change bedding or something bad is happening?

O you want a cinnamon? I say go look around for a good breeder. Pet shop bought hamsters, whether syrians or not, are harder to tame.

Nezu's fatsoso is limited edition. Her brownie puff just gave birth not too long ago. Still on maternity break before next breeding ma. We all want brownie to be at her best health before she breed de, right?

And ovo has poor ventilation wor. I hope where you're putting the ovo has good air flow or your syrian's fur will look messy and sweaty plus oily o.

Wah... u Bean take so much kuaci ar? later bean need be rename become Kuaci... lol
It might depends on the weather, may ur bean feels hot, then stay outside lo... Like my case, i only see my robos jam into one house during rainy days...

Lol no they're not given in one go. Leftover husks over the days.

Maybe hor need to rename her Kuaci, but Bean sounds nicer.

That was what I think when I got the ovo too, but I put it on top of my bookshelf which is near my bed, so I figure it would be okay. That's why I haven't bought a hammy yet, I would want mine to be the perfect one for me. I'll talk to my friend and persuade her not to buy one from the petshop for me. The Ovo dazzled me with its modern-est..

i'm so frustrated, my RCs seem so wild, it's hard to get closer to them..what am i supposed to do? i like towatch them playing with each other but, when i tried to pet them, they went to their bitey2 mode..aiya! so tidak kenang budi punya hamster..

robos are some of the hardest to tame because they are timid in nature. that measn they can get defensive also.

Love+patience=sacrifice

Or something Jamien always says. You have to either bribe them a lot and do step by step or you can just watch them...

if the bribing is not effective, then only take the hard way, scoop them up and put on your palm..
but since yours is robo, better use bribe, scare they dont accept the hard way

haha, tat's quite normal during the first few days. why not u juz leave them alone for 2-3days to settle down. cooling period i wud say.
At the same time, try to read some taming articles... i found some on hamster's hideout website are quite useful.

i spend most of my time after lectures juz to get to know them...i think i juz get syrian, i saw my friend syrian is so tame; no bitey2..my friend juz allowed it to freely walk and play outside his cage...so jealous, my RCs were like small tiger...

Stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff

Stuff those pouches!

guess i am lack of sleep.. i started become nocturnal thanks to my hammies

use scoop method lor, they wont really bite if on palm, they will really bite if see finger

finger = food

juz be patience, luckily the one u hav is RC, not robo, else i think u long time throw them out of the window ady. Juz leave alone them 2-3 days first, hamsters can easily get stress when come to a new environment. juz rub ur hand with their bedding b4 u try to reach them. But at the end, everything comes to Jamien's Golden Rule for Taming -> Love+patience=sacrifice

hehehe..i'll try..this time cooling periodism n scoopism approach

Nocturnal? then u can play with them all the time lo....haha, coz normally when we human sleep, they juz started their day.
