LOL gambate, if you really read all those, really need to salute you!

actually, if your ham treats his bowl as where he stashes his food, then ok lo. My hams stash their food in their bowl, or their smoothie dish if got. And they usually eat finish their fresh since i agak agak the amount daily.

so nice your ham ham like dat... mine stashes selected food in his house...huhu...n then dunno how he usually sleeps, maybe roll here and there until some the food got pushed out from the house and mix with bedding outside...

scared later the fresh food he brought to his house will get pushed out and mix with beddings, worse if the bedding covers the food and the food starts to rot without me noticing it...[since it's covered deep down in the beddings]


ummm another ques... Frissian cat litter really won't clump rght? just to confirm b4 i go buy 2moro... the toilet sand that comes together with the "living world" toilet...if not mistaken that one clumps...this true aa?

jz wanna ask. my robo does this alot(but not 12 turns la,not my vdeo).
is it ok?or do i need to buy a bigger wheel?

OMG What wheel are you using now for your robo?

Your robo is just 1 ham right? No companions?

If yes then don't worry, it's absolutely normal. They love to run really quick and make emergency pit stops. So when the wheel builds up too much momentum, an emergency pit stop will spin them in circles.

If you're still worried you may change to a bigger wheel. It stops the problem indefinitely. When I had more than 3 hams in 1 tank, all wanting to run at the same time, i changed to a bigger wheel. It looks dangerous when some got flung out and hit the top of the tank. After that no more washing machine spinning.

The wheel is good if your ham does not have to bend his/her back to run in it.

Hey Jamien, is Wodent Wheel Jr too big for robos?

that vid is not mine. but the same is happening to my robo.

ah ic. so i jz settle with the old wheel cos i only got 1 robo~
thanks!

actually i feel wodent wheel jr is just right for syrian... For robo, they have a bit of difficulty moving a normal habitrail wheel. That's why no washing machine cycle. But they can make the wheel build up speed all the same. Just less speed.

I think robo, better not use wodent. robos also like to pee in the wheel ma. feel heart pain the way they thrash the wheel.

Haha Thrash the wheel. Thanks for the info!

if i pat Toph...then can feel his backbone...does it mean he is skinny??

and...is lava stone safe as a gnawing toy for ham ham?

toPh



now he still gets startled pretty easily...do syrians get startled easily?
or issit becoz toph still not used to the environment?
this sunday i'll be bringing him along to a place - approx 1 hour drive..
if he havent settled down now, im worried the journey might make him more stress

ayo...keep on editting my post... just now toph was biting the cage...then i called his name...approached slowly..

suddenly he ran to the opposite direction very3 fast, if not because of the cage, sure he sprint 100m oredi..
then i keep on calling his name...touched the cage to see how severe he bit it..

guess was happened? he jumped once, like wan to run 4 his life...

y is Toph so scared like dat? startled very3 fast sad.. issit bcoz he's still young? is 1month plus young? no right? haihz...very worried...

Lava stone? You mean prumice?
I'd prefer wood or wheat gels since I am not sure if prumice is good for the hamster's stomach...

http://www.hamster-club.com/health.asp

i googled and visited this page....regarding hamster illnesses
stress la.. toph having diarrhea.. as in.. i saw his poo2 not in solid form...
stress...

If the poo is watery and his backside is wet with poo then you better bring to the vet asap. Could be wet tail. And Toph can die in less than 24 hours.

Try this get 100+ and de-gas it and let him drink some because he is dehydrated from the diarrhea. You can also use glucose. Just mix a small amount with water. And bring to the vet quickly.

Remember - Wash his tank with dettol throughly also as there is bacteria from the wet tail. It is contagious to hamster.

But is Toph still active in his tank (eg. running around, climbing, etc) Or just lying still like no energy? If active it could means that he is not used to his new diet with fresh veges that's the reason for the wet poo. If not active then it is wet tail.

Toph still active...stll got run2 in the wheel and bite2 cage... should be ok rite?
but i am still goin2 clean his cage lter i think...after my xm..
scared...huhuhu..hopefully he'll be ok...
and his tail area not wet...

Then monitor Toph these few days lor. Also you can give him some glucose water just incase. Add a little bit into his water bottle. If you're feeding him Nezu smoothie can add a bit there.

Best would be to get a pack of Nezu's Rescue powder.

Watch out for ants also since there is something to attract them (glucose).

too heavy for robos to run. get a small silent wheel will be the best. u happy ur hammi happy

if u can feel the bone. then the hammi is skinny. Toph is scare, can be Toph never have human contact until he meet u. so he will take some time to accept n gain trust from human. so it slowly he will be find, unless there are some genetic problem. and remember this is not 1 day, 1 week or 1 mth to change. it can take u few mths.

Actually it is made from Pine wood i think. What the best for the bedding? My robo always kick all the pine bedding out of the cage. Hehehe.. Notti robo..
