cuteee.
i miss my hamster.
he lived for about 2 years.
consider long or not?

Mind to share where you bought your toilet ?

hehe.. ur hamster so cute ler..

Hamsters on smoothie will tend to pee more and drink less as the smoothie have sufficient fluid from veges and fruits. All my syrian's toilet need to be change every 2-3 days. I feed them smoothie everyday. Diabetes hamsters will drink a lot and pee a lot.

and its quite expensive...28 bucks I think.

i think healthy hammy would not pee alot in 2 days time...my hammy pee very a lot...like very wet2 kn perah2 the shavings..i also suspect him have diabetes..now--i try give water in morning only--after 6 will not put the bottle...replace it with smoothie..waiting for the result..

My Muffin lost, it's a mistery how he lost.
I'm so depressed , sigh!

Below is the set-up.


He's around 4 weeks and pretty small in size , I'm not sure where he gone.
Most important , the zoozone is placed on a chair , thus , when he slide down , for sure he gonna hurt himself.
What else I can do.. , sigh!

isn't that him in the white playhouse? Or this pic taken earlier? Anyway dun have to worry about hurting himself. They can naturally take falls. Just search around the house a bit. I lost mine twice and still found her

What worries me is that the gap between the stairs it's very huge , that's why I scare it might hurts his limb.
I found him already , I'm force to grab him tightly in my hand to put him back into his cage.
Even I found him now , my mood is still so shock.
So dissapointed, sigh.

Zoozone2 also can escape? I think he escaped by climbing your big wodent wheel sr from the side to the top. Hamsters are very smart. Always thinking of ways to escape. A few of my syrians escaped from their 2 feet tanks. Now more cautious to prevent them from escaping.

I got use the hanger to hang a water bottle which I use a couple of Cable Tight to connect each other and at last only connect to the hanger.
I guess he's escaping by the water bottle though. Mind share how hamster can escape through the wheel ?
I mean it'll spin , nope ?

yea, I don't think your Muffin can escape through the wheel. Most likely its the cable. But can he fit in between the bars?

Btw, what you mean by stairs? You put him upstairs? Yea, it is quite dangerous...if he falls on his back, he'll roll down to the next step...and continuously roll down to the ground. Happens a lot with my hamster in his cage. If he falls from running too fast on the wheel and fall on his back, he'll roll further down to the ground

Could be from the bottle also. Just remember this: as long as the head can go through, so can it's body.

I don't have the video of JackJack climbing up his Sanko wheel to the top of the tank with me now. I see if sangels still have it or not.

You'll be more shocking if you see how they can climb the wheel without the wheel spin. Your muffin is small and he is light in his body weight. he can climb from the back of the wheel by climbing the stand and balance himself on top of the wheel and get grab to the bars on the lid, then get himself out from there. The bigger the hamster is, the more difficult for them to escape as they are heavy to climb and jump. They can jump up high to shock you also. Water bottle also might be another way for him to escape. Go buy a suction cap from those hardware shop, and tie the bottle to the suction cap with cable ties, then hang it outside the ZooZone2 where the place for you to hang the bottle. Then you can have one possibility less. They also will be very smart to stop the wheel from spinning by pushing bedding underneath the wheel or push the wheel to the wall and make it less spin-able.

wow, its really hard to imagine that wheel can stop spinning...somehow.

Did you saw my set up with the water bottle there ?

The small bottle that hangs there is a temporary ones , I have bought a Living world 16oz water feeder , but he's not tall enough to drink , thus I dont think he can climb up the stand now.
Most probably should be the water feeder and cable tight.

I have placed his temporary plastic aquarium up there to prevent him out , hopefully he wont run out again.


Anyway , Do you all mind to teach me how to pump his weight and size ?
I have been feeding him vegetables and staple food , but he doesn't seems to be chubbier.

I want to double check but the pic is not loading anymore...

my ww pushes the bedding under the wheel to stop it spinning and tried to climb on top of the wheel. tho not much success like sangles or blurjoeys yet
