I suggest you to get a tank instead of tubes and another cage which is more expensive than buying a tank. You'll also find difficulties when you came to the washing part. Tank is better as it's more spacious and transparent, therefore it's easy for you to interact with your hammies and also to 'grab' them. The current cage you have, you can keep it for spare or sell it lor. That's simple.

Was thinking to do so.. the current gace can use to carry the hamster when going back to hometown the time.

If you just need to go back for few days, don't advise you to bring your hamsters along as they need to adjust themselves to the different environment and they will get stress. My cousin's hamster went back to her hometown with her as she gotta move back permanently, the hamster so stress till bite her sister and he never bite anyone before. He just get so stress. Imagine, your hamsters have to adjust to the new environment and just get adapted and yet gotta shift back to a different environment, how stress they will be? Leave enough food and water and you can leave them for few days without problem unless you are going back for weeks or months without anyone can take care of them, then you can consider bringing them back with car. For me, they are very sensitive with the surrounding and easily get stress.

A tank is the best choice, becoz cage always got chewing prob. no matter wat chew toy u giv, once in while they'll still chew ur bar... haha... And also the bedding wouldn't spill out from the cage when they play or dig.

If they get stress, can lead them to have wet tail which is lethal for hamster. Senawang is not tat far from here, so juz fill up their bowl and bottle, leave it at home. If ur house is grounded, make sure not cats can go inside...

but the ovo transport kit really is cool though...

haha... however u can get them sperately without needing to buy the ovo suite those

how long can we left them wif lotssssss of food actually?
can't take them wif me balik raya by bus

yea, will do. Too bad the tunnel got closed for no good reason...otherwise its a whole lot easier to come by. Hope they really open back the tunnel by the end of the month.

they get stressed so easily? I was actually thinking of doing the same thing...put them in a smaller cage for when I travel.

another thing...do your hamsters make squeaking noise a lot? Mine suddenly started making those noise, which sounded like they're fighting, when the other runs over her. You know how they just walk over each other when playing

I left them for about 4-5 days before. If you worried, then send them for boarding lor. Shyane can help you jaga them also as she is providing boarding service for animals. If you need to leave them about a week, then make sure enough food and water for one week and clean the cage and change the bedding before you leave.

Yes, they easily get stress as they are very sensitive animals. They are very sensitive to sound, light and smell, as your environment changed, everything changed. My hamsters won't have such problem as they are living all alone, that's why I have so many tanks at home hamster will make sound when they are scared or fighting, but WW is very vocal as they will make more noises than others. Correct me if I'm wrong.

let them roam around your bed...

it helps if they are used to your smell...


thats what i always do...
let the robos roam around my bed while i eat my dinner

sigh


cuz before this, they dun pee in the wheel...


nvm la, since they like to pee and eat inside the wheel

let them be la

Make sure you keep an eye on them, once lost, not easy to find them back. Also they like to pee and poo sometimes.

so, what do I do? I figure she's just scared...

so far poo yes but pee no lu and hope to keep it that way


my bed = matress on the floor so easier to manage them


and they got no where to run too cuz i already block out the gap under the door and my room dun have furniture with hard to reach places

so one whole room as a "cage" for the robos

Sorry for my forgetful. What kind of breed is your hamster? If WW, they may started to fight and if it does mean they need to be separated. If it's robos, then sometimes they are playing fights, if no injuries, then it's ok. If they fight till one of them have some bite marks then means need to separate also.
