omggggggggggggggggggggg.. so cute!!! cantiks cantiks!!

get a 1ft plastic carrier. put the bedding from their tank then u can travel them but make sure don't keep them in ur car when u out from ur car or put then under the sun.. they will heatstrock n die.

ic ic ..currently i'm housing them in a steel cage instead of fish tank one...it's ok if i put a piece of clean towel since i sleep with lights on, and don't want them to be disturb with bright light...

sorry for asking so many question, i am pretty new at this and quite concern bout both of them,not just because their cute but i guess i always have heart for animals...so i would love to be responsible owner....

is it necessary to toilet train them? i have bought the bathing sand and stuart just love to roll in them...i found in some of the post here that syrian do not roll in the sand....will update their pictures tonite...hope will identify whether they're syrian or not...

on the other hand i found mischka to sleep and eat a lot..she only plays around 7pm to midnight and early morning around 6am to 8am...is this a normal behaviour?

how show i properly introduce with fresh foods/smoothies..which fresh vege/fruit should i start first?

if let say hammies falls sick (touch wood)...which clinic is best to attend to such matter?any recommendations?

i really appreciate your guidance...this thread does help me a lot to understand my hammies..

p/s : i found stuarts loves when he out of the cages...he like to venture a lot!! mischka on the other hand is a bit shy i guess...

last time, i just bring in the cage together..i put in paper bag first, since i'm afraid they will stressed out while walking...when got in car...i brough them out and hold them on my lap coz scared jatuh2 inside car.... stuart seem pretty occupied on the wheels during this time while mischka just sleep or eat...i find that stuart tend to slide a lot since i have a slider in the cage.. this does distract my fiance while he drives..kinda fun to watch

hello there ann welcome to the thread. Even if they aren't hamsters, you have to seperate them because you bought different sex hamsters and they will mate non stop. About what fresh foods to feed, the first few posts has a list of vege/fruits that are appropriate. since stuart loves to venture around, u might want to get a wheel and let him explore the whole place without u hving to worry he'll get lost or squeeze himself somewhere.

oh yea, im also very impressed that you can hold them on your lap without them nipping you considering u got them from carrefour

those are really nice photos. so cute! I love the coat of the black banded (did i get the colour right?)


yep those are syrians

Syrians are very easy to toilet train. Use non-clumping cat litter as their toilet sand. If they poo around the tank, pick the poo up and place it in the toilet sand. You can also pick up those bedding with urine on it and place it together with the poo. That's how you toilet train them Syrians do not use bathing sand, they'll groom themselves with saliva.

Hamsters are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and active during the night. So it's normal for them to be playing around at night till the next morning. If you are planning to give them fresh fruits and vege, start with a small portion will do. Excess fruits and vege can cause diarrhea. Refer to the first page for more information about fruits and vege safe for your hamster's consumption. You can ask anything you don't understand here and we'll try our best to help you Everyone is learning here and don't be shy to ask.

I think I may want to get a Winter White. Their bodies are so cute it's like moving marshmallows! xD

Btw, went to Pet Lover's centre in Sunway Pyramid today. So far I've been to that one eversince my growing interest in keeping small animals. They sell Winter 'Normal' and Winter 'Golden'. And they fetch a price of about 23 bucks each. Is that the average price for a WW?

actually they're inside their cage one..i bought one that have a wheel, bottle, feeding pot and a house with slider..but to my suprise, stuart is a bit tame....when open the cage, he will move to my hand without waiting long...mischka needs waiting though....

stuart enjoys the bathing sand...i just dunno why...he loves rolling like a cat..should i worry?

XiaoDan


thank you very much on all of your advises

will check for a new tank/cage....get the pictures soon so that you guys could help identify whether they are syrian or not..geez...misz them already ....


when i purchase stuart and mischka, they have the bathing sand in their tank..the seller recommended me to purchase the sand rather than shampoo for to clean them....i will post their pics tonite to reconfirm whtether they are syrian or not....

IcedNyior , do you have any picture of a Winter gold ?
The Wintergold/Syrians in the pet shop is really big size , so I assume it's syrians. Please Enlighten me.

my stuart and mischka is small consider small since i can fit both in one palm...they have coat like squirell with a line in their back though stuart is less obvious since he's a bit greyish and the code is lighter than mischka...

I think yours is winterwhite, the not so obvious might be ww sapphire? its greyish and the line is not that obvious. correct me if im wrong.

ann: i think urs are Winter White agouti. brown with a black/dark brown stripe down the back rite?

Andy: as far as i know, syrians are not called winter gold. it could be a WW that is gold/brownish in colour. refer : http://tokohamster.multiply.com/photos/alb...er_White_Golden
