LOL I also keep thinking how to make a second "storey" in the fish tank... hahaha

Please don't feed them too much sunflower seeds.. It's really bad for them.. Hamsters need a balanced diet to grow healthy.. Fresh vege and fruits are good for them.. For their staple food, why don't you try Prestige Hamster Nature or Harry Hamster? They cost more than other hamster food but it's really worth it.

I also think that posting the back packaging of the original sand would be better to make the customers aware of genuine product. Other then that, those who have purchased the sand, can tell us if there is any side effect?

hahah.. fishtank small but tinggi
that y i make 2nd level so my hamster have more space

ya.. hehe what you used at the middle there? But your tank is really a bit mesy

If u do research u ll knw too much kuaci are nt good for them
Try using prestige staple food, its the best for them

Eh... no offence... your tank looks dangerous... the 2nd level looks sagging... u shud get a more solid ply wood or something....

The comment: Aiyoh, that thing looks like it's going to break any moment!

Aloe so cute ler Maybe you can get a flat plate if they jump into the bowl and bathe in the smoothie. I used a flat plate for my hamster so she just licks off there, don't put it where they run though

@akecema: Nice creativity! Better use the given space than waste it. Very good! but maybe you should stabilize the 2nd floor? I'm a lil scared it'll fall off or something and your hams will get injured.

@thirah: Aloe so cute!! Sleeping style awesome la. I use a glass sauce dish (the ones we put soy sauce on). Since it's glass it doesn't topple as easily (although my hams are more concerned about eating the smoothie than decorating their place all over with it. )

Maybe you can try? Ace hardware sells one for RM 0.70 only.

I decided to change from a bowl to sauce dish cuz both my hams, at noe point, end up fell into the bowl and "bathe" in the smoothie.

@xiaodan: Haha.. He normally sleeps like that..

@sophiera: He is, isn't he? I did get some dishes today from Living Cabin really hope he'd use it...

@Jamien: Aloe is bullying me!! He sengaja terbalikkan the bowl! I saw him toppling it intentionally!! Mogok-ing! On the other hand, you can't bully the willing can you? I bought some flat dishes today when I went to KL.. Hopes it would really work..

thanks Xiao Dan. btw, how long is the life span of WW ham ham?

can anyone help me

Taming takes time. If he is scared of hands, then use a cup or container to pick him up. Then pour him onto your hands but make sure you are sitting on the floor so that when he jumps off, he would not have a bad fall. This is more like a force technique, of making him learn that your hands do not hurt him.

Another way is to handfeed.... this is to build trust, and it takes time. Don't think it can happen overnight or in a few days. Put your hand into the cage or tank, with some seeds or his favourite food in your palm. If he is hungry, he would come and try to eat. If he doesn't then nevermind, just let him get used to the smell of your hand. In time, he would learn that you are not gonna hurt him.

If he comes charging to attack you, then I am afraid he has been traumatized by people, and it would take a longer time to build some trust with the hamster.

Also, you shouldn't give food through the cage. This would make them try to bite more coz they can't see clearly, can only feed cage bars and food. Use your palm when feeding.

Winter White can live up to 2 years.

Actually my friend got 2 syrian, a vet giv it to him. Seems like both of them is garang2 lor...

Try some method like pour him onto my hand but ended get bitten hardly by him

Btw...he always like to put his nose between the cage, dun know why

someone mentioned that the bath sand a LYN seller is selling is fake? I've been using it with no problems so far. did anyone buy the prestige from her?

you need to do something about this...I suggest putting a few layer of cardboard or whatever it is, so that it doesn't 'sag' like in that pic. Make sure the layers are glued together somehow for it to stay flat. Another method is to use metal bars...like those metal clothes hanger and build a 'scaffolding' for the cardboard to stand properly. Good luck

we need someone to check the back of the packaging and compare with other pet shops outside. The distributor claims that the packaging is different but we have no proof so far.
