so cuteeeee

are u in curtin miri? might want to ask the boys in sarawak thread to help you. I dont recall any petstores near curtin tho but that was 4 yrs ago

I got 2 robos. One jz died 2day this afternoon. So sad .
While i bathin them, suddenly 1 overturn and few seconds not moving anymore. I guess is the water enter its ear and blocks its breathing.
The question is now i oni left 1 robo in my cage. They r 2gether since small, which r around 3 months.
Now he/she is alone. Will he feel lonely in d the cage. Do i nid to buy another robo to accompany him. Coz usually both of them used sleep, eat and play 2gether.
Also, if i bought one robo, will they able to live 2gether peaceful?
Must i match wif male/female or male/female or vice versa?

who can help me? i think my hamster is under weight.. haha is it because the food bowl is not big enuff?my sister's and my fren's hamster is like.. doubled size of mine..

hehe... think of my boy boys gal gals they also like this before ... the time when they grow up furs i edi touch them ... bcuz they re so cute that i cant control myself but hold them on my palm ...

now they all bcome big gal and boy lor ....

for the robosk owner( forget wat name)

if i was u, i might move the baby boy to his father place when they grow bigger lor... i nvr rear roboski b4, so i dunno whether they fight or not.. i do this to my WW... but the mother fight v baby gal, so i separate them after that. roboski more sociable rite?

You water bath hamsters?

dont put female & male together unless you are ready to handle more hamster babies.

mayb your hamster is a different breed?

HUGE balls. hehe! so peaceful sleeping.

Attached thumbnail(s)

My Muffin is getting bigger already.

ei andy...
hehe nice pics!!
how is Muffin? tamer oredi? hheeh..

I think he's tame already but he doesn't like me Handle him.
Everytime I walk pass for sure he'll take both of his hand up and look at me.

BTW , He should be toilet-trained.

anyone here tried growing their own fresh grass for hamsters?
just saw this product at Pet Safari...they give you seed and some cotton (I presume as a replacement for baja). Then after the grass grows, you can cut it off and feed your hamster.

Err... Just to let you know. Hamsters, any type of hamsters, should never be given a bath. They don't bath in the wild. And bathing is super super stressful so we don't give baths unless absolutely necessary like an emergency.

And from the sound of it... Your robo flipped over, and drowned in the water... I had an emergency before which required me to bath my robo cuz she was injured and her butt area was crusted with dirt and blood and poo and pus and i dunno what else. I had to clean her up in case an infection sets in at her butt. When they touch water, even if it's just a little and covers only their toes, they flip over. They go into panic and flip and struggle etc etc. They can drown in super shallow water if your robo flips on its back. I know it sounds a little cruel but as an owner you should have held your ham firmly to prevent drowning. In fact, you shouldn't have bathed them at all. Bathing sand is made for that purpose.

Before buying another, I sincerely hope you read up. Yes robos get along well with one another but you have to at least have basics to care for your ham. If you wish to buy another, please sex your ham and buy another robo of the same gender. Inbreeding rates are really bad and you might end up with pups that are blind, missing limbs, thinning fur, etc etc.

@jamince: Your daddy ham will be fine. When the babies grow up, you can put his sons with him so he doesn't get lonely lor. his daughters will stay with mum. Separate kelantan style. This way, no accidental pregnancies and no inbreeding.

my hamster is my sister's hamster's baby.. haha so should be the same rite?

oddly enough...lots of people are selling hamster shampoo. I guess that's whats making people think of bathing their hamsters.

sigh. That's the thing. They call it "small animal shampoo" then stick a picture of a syrian on the front. It really misleads people. but as responsible owners, we should find out what can and cannot be done to our hamsters right... Anyone who researched will know. Bathing is a big no no.

regarding your grass, i haven't tried before but am interested. How about you try first and let us know how it goes?

Alamak, hamster no need to bath wan ar? Bought the Shampoo liao, thought they really need to bath.. How bout those sand bath?

Hamsters don't need to bath. If they smell, it's usually cuz your upkeep of its cage not so clean. So makes your ham smell.

Sand bath is ok. Hamsters have a natural tendency to dig and burrow. They will know how to use the bathing sand. It removes dirt and grime from their fur. But srians don't need a sand bath. they groom themselves most often.

@odd_mochi: I feel is how you feed. If they've never eaten fresh food before, suddenly you give a lot they will sure get diarrhea. Slowly increase the amount. Let them get used to fresh food. Let their body get used to digesting the fresh.

But you still have to provide dry food la. Nuts are part of their dirt.
