I'm using a mineral bottle tat i cut the bottom part to scoop them out. Fast and efficient... And most of the time no need to scoop also, juz put the opened end inside horizontally, and they will go inside... then u can lift up the bottle and put them else where.

Maybe you gave them too much sand until they can bury food underneath. If the sand not much and the food will reveal, then they will hide it somewhere. Btw, dun feed them too much kuaci, it's fattening.

I came across this post from hamster hideout and I found out it's same as your situation:

Hamsters pee on the wheel

Hope it can help.

Can somebody take some photos from the gathering later on or not ar?... I couldn't make it today, got tonz of assignments and some other stuffs tat need to finish off in this short merdeka break. At least can post in front of this thread, and can show off fatsoso ... lol

@nezu: when will you breed some fatsoso robos for us robo keepers? wuauahahahhah....

Congratulation~~~ Keep it up... pump until you have ur own version of fatsoso... Say hi for me to No10 also... lol

Juz order from petshack, even if you are in kedah.

BTW, is the yellow color thing is ur wheel? If yes, i think you shud change it, else u'll make ur hamster injure their leg.

@imperialrealcs: regarding to the pic that u posted, i saw something yellow in your pic tat seems to be a wheel.
If it's a wheel, then it's not suitable for hamster, coz it's not fully covered, and the gap in between might cripple your hamster.

Normally how long a smoothie a can last after being fed to the hamster in their cage? Recently i noticed that those unfinished smoothie will become sour in the morning. I usually feed them at 10pm, and i noticed the sourish smell at 6am when i wake up. Is that normal? Or my smoothie spoiled liao? Coz last time I also din notice any sourish smell, only recently...

Yupe. But need to make sure the smoothie is not yet spoiled at the first place.

Erm... 8 hours, then i think my case is normal lo~~

Might be due the the bad weather recently. I'm feeding them red devil currently. And the expiry date is 09/10/2008... it's Sept or Oct, jus to be cleared?

FOR THOSE WHO WANT WHITE FACE ROBO
I found one female wf robo selling in a shop in PJ seapark. RM22 only. I'm looking for a male robo, so can't buy it.
Can PM me if wan the shop's details.

And question on my newly bought 4th robo:
When i got home, i found out there is some blood stain on both sides of it's nose. Izzit some minor injuries or a disease?... Anyone seen this case b4? Now i'm keeping it for few days cooling period b4 intro to others

Erm... damn worry bout my 4th robo -> Ben. I scare it wud be an infection. I din notice the blood stain in the shop. Aih...

The blood stain on Ben's nose was gone when i double check juz now. I think shud be some minor scratches and it's already healed...hopefully.

BTW, I juz finished my chippsi bedding, looking for alternatives now. Woody pet and BC.... can't make up my mind. I read some LYNer posted woody pet will bcome dust when it got wet. Please gimme some idea how long this 2 can last. My current wood shaving can last bout 2 weeks with my robos litter trained. Wonder how long can the other 2 last.

Aih.... wanted to sapu the WF robo juz now... but my gf beside, said: Buy lah~~~ (with special tone... ) So I took a final peep on the wf robo b4 i left the shop... very cute.... first time see a wf robo in real life...

Easy case: Juz put in the toilet sand(of coz in a bowl or a hamster toilet), then they will happily do their "job" overthere, coz hamsters are clean animals.

Stubborn case: For some reason, they still prefer to do it outside of the toilet, then you will hav to pick up their poo and put it into the toilet... take sometimes to accomplish this... be patient. For peeing on the wheel, there is a guide in hamster's hideout, link of hamster's hideout can be found on the 1st page of this thread.

Added on September 13, 2008, 11:12 amThe fun part on robos is that u can watch them having happy time with their cage mate, they play together, run on wheel together and sleep together... sometimes they will sleep on their buddy's tummy...

Haha... this morning my gf accidently let my other male robo Fei Chai(coz really Fat..) drop into Ben's partition, then they started with smelling each other's nose, then they start to play around ady.... much easier than my previous robo Yoshii, took me almost 2 weeks to intro, yet still squeaking when any robo go nearby... headache...

np, dun mention it
Hehe, i rmb you, you are the one tat used a tortoise avatar, you've asked around in this thread for quite some time, glad to hear tat you have made ur decision. What breed you are going for?... Dun forget to feed smoothie ya~~

@edwinlcw: not only wat vergas said. since you dunno wat breed is tat, snap a photo and put it here and let all the pros here find out for you. coz a certain breed is solitary enuff to kill each other... do it asap when u reach home. We dun wan see another sad case happen. Good attitude u have since u willing to take up the responsibility to take care of them.
Happy Hamstering...

Yupe, didn't the store got a label or something?...

@edwinlcw: luckily your gf attracted by hamsters only, if she got attracted by chinchillas or dogs... btw, where did you bought them?

Mix WW? better not... even if they dun fight now, sooner or later they will still fight, no promised though.
Bout the flash, if u got bright lite, then dun use flash lo... if got no choice u'll hafta use flash. If the photo with flash came out loosing some detail compare to ur eye sight(eg lighter color or even diff color), then put a tissue or some white paper on the flash lite itself, this will make the lite softer and come out nicer photo.

Wow... where is ur place? Here in PJ ss2 selling rm22 a robo(and the other day i saw one wf robo at the same price also). I go petshop sapu all and go to ur place and sell at rm35.... can make money huh?....

u can go google it. it's common in other country but not in malaysia. not much different from the usual one, it juz whole face white color, and dun hav the "eyebrow" like normal robo does. My gf said it's ugly... dunno leh...

I got a feeling that my Fei Chai is a bit overweight... too fat... it's almost 3 inches from head to tail... wat u all think?
