Actually I am not so sure, I just recall back what I read.. I read back a few version of hammy thread before I actually got one LOL..

Some they scare the hammy dun recognise the tank mate then will start to fight when place new bedding. Since robo is the most socialable breed, maybe different hmm

i think the issue about clumping and none clumping is mainly for the toilet sand, not the bath sand. plus, i've never seen how does "clumping" looks like so can't really say.

i dont see the problem in changing to fresh bedding. the hamster will sniff sniff around because everything smells new but then after a while it gets settled in

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri..
To All Muslim Hamster Owners..

okok...will spare some old put back in~~~
*clean-ing now

For me, I'll go for ZooZone as it is better for the hamster and it's cheaper than the Ovo loaf. Then save the money to get a good wheel and it is a NEED for hamsters.

Don't think you can get that in Ipoh as I never see any there when we do pet shops hunting. Do not think I'll be going back to Ipoh in this month.

ZooZone no more in production already, you gotta wait for the new designs maybe, for the time being, save your money first lor.

It's not about clumping or non-clumping. It's totally 2 different thing la. Toilet sand/liter sand is for them to pee and poo inside, bathing sand / ALEX bath sand is for them to clean and remove excess oil from their fur. How can 2 different thing come to be the same conclusion? Doesn't matter for the bathing sand whether it's clumping or non clumping. Please make your mind clear about the product before make yourself worried.

hahahah, i guess i'm just getting paranoid

the thing now is...nezumitaro said its ok for hamsters to eat a lil sand...toilet or bath sand, when they're really clueless about it. But as long as its non-clumping only. How true this is, I dunno...but its the only advice we have. Now I've tried putting a drop of water onto the sample sand and it really did "clump"...and it doesn't look like anything you want your hamster to be eating, or biting.

I went to a pet shop today and they got sell all those funky hamster case , but they doesn't have Zoozone nor any large cage.
Can anyone help me to purchase the Zoozone ? I'll pay for the courier service.

Then I will suggest you to buy the 2ft guppy tank cos Ipoh is not easy to get hamster supplies. ZooZone is not easy to get in KL now as there's not much stock left after Hagen stop the production of ZooZone series. Not much people from Ipoh in here even you willing to pay for the courier service as it is a heavy and big cage. It is about 3ft x 2ft x 1.5ft (estimation measurements). If by pos or courier service, the service fees maybe more expensive than the cage itself. Too bad I just came back from Ipoh last week and not plan to go back in this month.

I check in Poslaju rates , it's only Rm34.00 for 7kgs. Unless they charge for Volumetric weight.
If I couldn't find Zoozone , I'll just settle down on Crittertrail then and maybe get a winter white instead.
Sigh..

Yalor.. if you so fancy about the zoozone, then wait for the new design *if it is really coming out with new design uh?*

if you really want, I can visit a few shops to see if got stock. You looking for ZooZone 1 or 2? Color preference? Or budget...scared that guy (or me ) overcharge. Pet Shack selling V1 for 110, V2 for 150.

firsian not that easy to find. Visited a few shops but never saw it yet.

Bean's fur is balding again, even with bathing sand.

Maybe it's because the wheel gets dirty very quickly >_<

will old hamster drop off their fur & never grow back?

Hi there,

Thank you for your kindness on helping me out. I'm interested with V1 - Pink/Turquoise or V2 - White/Grey. If there's V1 pink available , I think I'll go for V1 as the colors is more vibrant. But I need to confirm the courier charges is charging on Volumetic weight or Normal Parcel weight. I really hope you're free to a few shops to do your daily groceries shopping and help me along to hunt for the case.

Please let me know further.
Andy.
