yea i used to think the bathsand was underutilized. then i realize that my Kiki does roll in it. only when im not around

i saw the reply.. but the fruits stated are bananas, grapes, etc.. no apples, dragonfruit, or some other fruits.. furthermore, nezu adviced that the smoothie be fed EVERYDAY.. it'll be like a super dose to RCs..

guess that's the only way.. it'll naturally happen along with time.. maybe in the future someone may eventually discover that the fruits in the smoothie is not suitable? just cos there's no negative feedback NOW, does not mean that it's not bad..

stop the flaming, yes.. but the discussion shouldnt stop just like that.. i hope all RC owners wont just listen to hear-say only.. for those who are feeding smoothie, if u think that it's good to do so, then u all may continue.. i used to feed the smoothie to my ww, but not RCs.. if u all think that those websites saying that RCs shouldnt be fed with sugary food are wrong, and nezu alone is right, then it's up to u..

Hi Hamster Lovers, just wanna ask a few questions.

1) Is Hamster generally smelly?
2) How often do you clean the cage, bedding, litter and the hamster?

I've a housemate that keeps a hamster in dining area and its smells (the whole living and dining area). I'm not sure whether she cleans up the cage occasionally, but if she did, she might clean it every 2 weeks or less. If you live in a sharing apartment, where would you keep your hamster and in what kind of room? Would you consider keeping it inside your own room?

hi...
yes, i keep 3 hams in my room.. hamster cage should be clean at least once a week.. only the cage, the hams can groom himself.. ^^ u can read from the 1st page too...

Hamsters are generally very clean animals. If you don't change the bedding often then the cage will start to stink as their waste builds up. Bedding also plays a role. Breeder Celect, HealthyPet, Back2Nature are good at odour control.

If she's using shavings should clean every week, unless she does spot cleaning which is removing the dirty bedding. Toilet training your ham is not a bad idea too. Better to keep outside your room, healthier for you.

Whats the comment for Woody Pet?? Saw petshack hamster SET A included that instead of BC...

i keep my hamsters in my own room.. not to say it's good, but i have no choice as i'm renting a room only..

smelly or not, diet & the type of bedding will affect.. if feed a lot of fresh food, they'll pee a lot & must change bedding quite often (tis 1 u agak2 urself.. mostly around 4-5 days).. without fresh food, then 1 week is normal..

i feed mine with fresh but change the bedding only once a week cos i'm using Woody Pet.. the absorbency is good and wont have obvious pee smell as compard to softwood beding(aka wood shavings)..

to clean the hamster, but a good bathing sand (do not bathe with water) and let the hamster(s) roll in it.. how often? that'll depend on the type of hamster u have..

the cage u can clean once a week, or earlier if u think it's time to change.. it's based on ur judgement lar actually.. when smelly, change lor..

have you use bc before? BC better or Woody better hmm..?

Woody Pet has good absorbency & odor control, just that it's very dusty.. cos when hamsters pee, the pellets will turn to dust.. so, even tho no smell, still have to change rather often due to the dust..

woody pet good also cheaper..

u can play GG game ma.. bt all noobs there.. sorry off topic

WoodyPet is a pelleted wood type bedding. Very good absorbency, but a bit dusty after to break down when touches water. The wood smell is strong though, gives me a headache.

Nope, I play LAN in cyber. Sry off topic.

Most likely, if I recover fast enough...or else I infect hamster with my sickness pulak.
it's just a little bit of thinning at the backof her right ear, but otherwise everything is growing back so nicely.

the stripe is quite jagged though XD
