If u cant sell the babies b4 they sexually mature, u ll need another 2cage
Tats wat u get if u breed them
If wan2 see hammy together, get roborovski ba...
Best is same sex to avoid breeding madness
If u cant afford for 2more cage and cant sell those babies u can consider to put them for adoption =)

according to the pic attached, which type was mine?
u can see the female hamster (with some hair loss) stomach very big


Attached thumbnail(s)

Winter white......
As i knw pregnant wont make the hammy bald
(Correct me if im wrong)
Looks like overgrooming case
And ur cage, i think u need2 buy a 4th 1 lolz.............
Rusty...

ah, so i ned 2 new cage then
the hammy already bald for few weeks to months.. asked before but got no answer.. consult vet they said i feed her too much kuaci aka sunflower seed.. already cut down the portion but still same..

Eh... It looks like robos.

Please separate anyway. 1 cage 1 sex ok? Robos do very well in single sex cages, just as long as they have a companion.

And your balding robo is looking qquite... unnatural. What dry food are you feeding her?

combination of actual hamster food + some human breakfast cereal (with oats, raisin and such) combo

How 'bout one from the front? If they are robo's sure can tell by looking at their face..

I see brown and black plus white eye brows. I think it's robos. Yah, one from the front will be nice.

Why do you give human cereal? You shouldn't give human food to your animals.

i see so much stuff in the cereal and its cheaper as well
anyway, since both are eating the same thing, why 1 kena and the other dont? a point to ponder

kuaci is full of fat...very little nutrients. My friend like you, give a lot of kuaci and less of others. Both her hamsters now really really fat...like tennis balls.

This is a question ann3 (forumer) asked about diabetes : Reading of this topic help me to understand more about feeding my Stuart & Mischka...
Erm, i wonder..how we know if our syrian are sick like having diabetes or something? do they need regular check ups? how much does it cost?


Hammies that develop diabetes will show symptoms of excessive drinking, excessive urinating and wasting. Other symptoms may include low body temperature, shaking and trembling and at worst a comatose state. Actually if your hammie is suffering from diabetes, visiting your vet is not necessary. All you need to do is just control its diet. Feed your hammie a sugar-free diet. Actually stink beans (petai) is very good for diabetes, but I'm not really sure whether hamsters can or will eat it or not due to its smell.

also u will see dramatically lost weight from ur hammi.

petai is not advice for hammi. but bitter melon yes. and they like bitter melon, even its not diabetes. feed ur hamster bitter melon is good also

think vet also difficult to give medication treatment for hamster in diabetes.

kuaci is not good right? While hunting for hamster during raya holiday, i found the pet shop in klate give them some seed, like bird seed and kuaci only. He place all the syrians in one cage. Can saw they're fighting. Found one with no eyes edi.. very sad lorrr

Hey Nezu.. I find that bitter melons are good for diabetes too Bitter melon has a good nutritional value as a treatment for diabetes. Bitter melon improves the body's ability to use blood sugar and improves glucose tolerances, which can reduce the sugar content in our hammie's body. Do you think so? I'm not sure about the above statement but you can try read more about bitter melons.

Added on October 9, 2008, 9:56 amCertain pet shop owners only think of PROFIT. They dun even bother about those animals. As they are doing business, you won't be expecting them to house each Syrian in a tank. They won't get any profit becoz no one is going to purchase sick hammies and those poor lil creatures will die.

so sad to hear the stories...

Hi everyone, I'm ann3..i actually just recently got my stuart and mischka suprisingly from 'carrefour'..yes i know it sounds peculiar...but then i again..i wasn't intended to have them since i was planning to have fish instead....

but then when i hold stuart..even though he poop on my hands :-s.. i kinda 'bond'...just like with my pet cat boyboy...mischka was a bit fierce, since she was eating at the time the seller took her....so she was like shreeking a bit...very active during the night...she likes to disturb stuart while he's trying to sleep...

i wonder whether my stuart and mischka is a syrian since they both don't look like a syrian based on the pictures in the thread...their coats are like squirell.. a bit worried since i house both of them together...could you guys help me?

a photograph could help...

I think you should post a picture here. If they're Syrian then it's better to house them separately. Quickly oh.. Before it's too late

aiyak..yesterday i brought them to office.....got stuart picture..not so clear..will update soon...today didn't bring.....searching cable..one moment..

don't have at the moment..to nite lor can get..erm, better picture...thanks ya...i hope i'm not too late

by the way..can you suggest best pratice to move you hamster around..like how to handle them in the car?...how do i do to reduce their stress level? is it ok if i put them and their home in a big paper bag when transporting them? so that they couldn't see? or just hold the home on my lap? it helps since i don't like to leave my hammies at home if i have to go out station...my parents are scared with my hammies...
