Justiny.

That ham is soooo cute, but she looks kinda haggard. What's her condition? And how are your pups?

@Unknownhammie. . Is the mother alone with her litter or there's another ham in there? If there is, remove the other ham.
Is the place quiet? Dark? Try putting a towel over to give some privacy

Food, is she getting enough protein? What brand of food? Try giving more protein like tofu and egg white. Very important for you not to disturb the nest so she feels secure.

It was Juztiny who had the rat attack.

I think can la, muffin must learn to be stroooong to turn the wheel.

My WW is about that size and still can turn, so bolehlah XD

gosh, Muffin is so cute and clean looking. Bean always look so dirty no matter how much a I groomed her

But Muffin's ears are...quite long O_o

Impossible. Only syrians come in golden colours to match the yellow habitat.

this is chinese ham, nowhere as golden.

@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.

Bean isn't eating her pellets. She pickes out ALL the seed and the other shaped cookie like things in her hamster mix and leaves the pellets alone. When I feed her tha tthing, the dropped it as if it wasn't food.

I left it in her bowl for a long long long time and they're still pretty much intact. What a picky girl

May not be getting enough nutrients. I give her veggies, sometimes a bit of bread, smoothie but not much anymore due to ants.

What's the weight of 6 litres of breeder's calect? I need to compare it with the corn cob and see which is more economical to buy.

I'm not using chipsi. It was...what is that corb cob thing?

Cannot remember the brand but it comes in three sizes, 1kg, 3 kg and 5 kg approx.

Problem with corn cob is that it's taking forever to break down in my compost, but if it's very much cheaper then I have to live with it.

Lol How many times you change in a month, Andy? I usually wait two weeks.

So basically once I know the weight i'll divide by the price and see how.

20 bucks la, but the other 20 bucks also. Unfortunately not the same measurement so donno apa beza

NEVER WILL BEAN ESCAPE

How can she clib up the smooth tank?

But Bean is so tempremental. always panic like mad when she's away from her beloved wheel not very fun to take out.

Nezu...I think my smoothie about 2 months already. Still boleh makan?

Zomg such a prosh cage. But why is the sleeping comparement atas punya. I thought they prefer a secluded spot?

Agreed, so very cute.

So sorry to hear about your hamster...sometimes sudden death happens

Plain bread, can
Uncooked rice, better not.

As for gnawing you can try a mineral stone, rawhide bone, applewood sticks, or a wheat-geletine block. If want to supply dog kibbles please don't get super chapalang brand because donno what they put inside.

Besides people give kibbles mostly for protein. They usually have a saperate chewtoy.

@ifeel

That's why I changed the housing to plastic tank; hamsters love wires. The only way to stop that habit is to get an enviroment where the wires don't exist .

Bean Bean is an excellent thermometer....

when the weather is very hot, she will sleep outside at the corner behind the wheel and not in her house. It is to confirm that you're not imagining the heat.

As for pups, people usually saperate them at 3-4 weeks....apa jenis hamster again?

I plant to bury bean in a pot in future. Haven't decide what to plant on top of her yet.

Agreed. She's been sleeping in the wheel too, because no bedding imagine all the oil sweat and urine soaking into her.

Yuck.
