Ar, enuff bout tat chinese hamster
I said the body shape looks like chinese hammy only la nt the color = =
And my previous post i said it might nt be syrian, doesnt mean chinese hammy swt

Joey & Sophiera : Muffin can run it and it spins quite fast aswell. At least it's much better than my old wheel that broke in the third day.

Bean is syrian also ? Female aye ?

Muffin is a great listener , when he's playing the wheel and I walk near the cage and he'll stop there and stare at me.
But I still couldn't handle him yet though , I'll play with him more , but I need sleep early though.

recently my hammy like not active is he not feeling well? and sud i take him to da Vet?i gave him eat kuaci for about few day for temporarily cuz i dun have time to go out buy his food.So plz do tell me.

your hamster is starving lar
cannot feed kuaci only, cannot full

hii, im a new person in tis thread. really interested to buy winter white hamsters as theyre on of the cutest my friend once told me that winter white is not easy to handle and their lifespan is short.. any idea?

lolz, all hamster lifespan is approximately same +/- 2 years
depends on diet and how you take care

compare to syrian, yes, winter whites are not that easy to handle and they tend to bite if you handle them roughly.
BUT winters that are from breeders do not bite/ rarely bite unless they think you are enemy.

so do buy from good breeders and handle them with respect. *same to other hamhams, if not i kena pukul*

well, my ww just gave me a "high pitch scold" becos when i took him out, the door of the cage suddenly sliding down and knock his face.
T_T he scolded me

Welcome to the thread Hamsters are not easy to handle if they're not tamed. They'll bite. You need to tame them. Once they're tame you can handle them and play with them everyday without any prob.. Their lifespan is around 2 years..

for me i think Robo is the cutest although i m a WW owner.
becuz RObo can stay together as a group, but my WW always fight and give me trouble, i need to separate them into different cage.
Its not so fun when seeing a hamster play with itself.
I prefer to see them sleeping together. SO CUTE!

Maybe u should consider to adopt the hamsters instead of buy a new hamsters.
It will help those 'abandoned' hamsters to get a new home.

ohh.. i thought its juz winter whites.. oh, my sis kept a syrian before, yes its tame, i hold it on da first day n it dont bite at all.. but i'd prefer to try on winter white now.. kena pukul?? haha..

thx, how long does it takes to tame them? n how? 2 years..? wat im worrying is when they die, i will feel very sad.. few days cannot eat d

It's actually a process of give and take.
One must overcome themself of this.

correct.. once im ready, i'll get myself hamsters.. still looking for da cutest face n great behaviour

Anyone know why when Muffin running in the Wodent wheel , the whole wheel shake tremendously ?
I dont think I set up wrongly , anyone please help.

@Andy

Are you sure you didn't lose the pin? There is a metal pin and holds the wheel there. It will goyang sikit...but make sure the pin and the washer like thingy is there

No, Bean is not a Syrian but a Winter White. If Bean is a syrian won't call her 'bean' anymore because she will be big and not small.

Unless small Syrian la

I think I should rename her to Kuaci since she got a huge obsession with that thing. . But I digress, 'Bean' is much cuter.

The washer and everything is placed correctly. Washer in terbalik position which makes the extra plastic point outwards.
Even the pin is already lock into position.

It just shakes. I'm not sure what happen. I give it a spin and it has nothing wrong.


" loudest wheel I have is the 8-inch Wodent wheel. Under normal circumstances, its not that noisy, but thanks to my syrian's frenzied style of running, the wheel tends to bounce all over the place. I also have two 6.5-inch Silent Spinners that are attached to wire cages - those make a lot of noise too since they tend to rattle the bars. "

So does that mean it should be either the style of Muffin running or Muffin is too small for it ?

bump for my question

jovyn, 20-25g for roborovskis is a good weight. Slightly heavier or lighter is fine also.

She looks haggard?? Nope...she is perfectly fine...Just didn't comb her fur nicely only. She still quite scare of us holding her.

My ophan pups are getting skinnier...seriously doubtful they could pull through....the replacement milk is definitely not as nutritious as the mother's milk.

the story is like this..

i got a pair of hamster at 1st.. they are winter white..

then, the female born 6 babies..

now the baby is about 2 month+
one of the female is staying with the mother all the time.. until last 2 weeks..
the baby female start act weirdly.. by biting her mum until bleeding..

till now.. we have separate them..

and even i just want to hold her.. also got bitten by her
i donno what happen to her.. she just dun1 to let anyone touch her..

any idea?

wow...now babies biting the mother?
