hello guys..

this is so cute

haha ... so cute. i thought there re squirrel ... LOL

Do you have a picture? I would like to find for my stuart and mischka..



they are pretty cute...very cute..

hehehehe . . .

hope will get some new hemster soon . .

I have bought myself a Syrian from that pet shop , but it's still small though. Not sure if it's big enough to be rare as pet. It's around 7cm only.
I'm not sure they scare me or what , he doesnt seems want come out and play with me , Besides that , I'm also not sure if he knows how to drink the water from the water feeder as the seller put the water in a bowl.

Please help.
I bought Vitakraft bedding small pack , Delikate food , and britter bunny at the moment.


Should I bring him out and put him on my palm instead ? Will it stress him further ?

I started by holding the water feeder and putting it right in front of them when they are playful. At first they'll think its some kind of chew-toy...but when their mouth is near the opening, I squeeze some water out bit by bit. By that night itself, I can hear them drinking from the water feeder on their own Bear in mind that this technique can spoil the water feeder fast if you do it too often. Mind did

The problem is , they scare the enviroment now , I mean , I did that and he dint try even lick it , he just run away.

Andy,

Please take out the newspapers. The ink used in our newspapers are harmful to small animals if digested.

Just leave Muffin alone for a few days to get used to his new environments first before handling. Or else he will stress more.

He is scared means he is not tamed yet. So it will take patience to tame the lil fella. You can try hand feeding in a few days time when he has calm down in his new home.

To train Muffin how to drink from the water feeder you can add a few drops of Ribena in the water. Let him taste a bit and he will learn to drink from it soon.

You should add fresh veges to his diet now since he is still young. He can still grow bigger in size. You can try the list of food that Nezu posted.

Blurjoey,

Thanks for your advised . I'll take the newspaper out later on and I will feed muffin the water when he get used to the enviroment.
There's large size syrian there , too bad their coat not really nice but fluffy until very messy look.

Your muffin is still less than 1 month old or slightly a bit older than 1 month (5 weeks maybe). Still very young syrian. The wheel is a bit too small for syrian if it's for permanently. Try get a bigger one. Give him as much fresh veges as possible. Almost all kind of veges can feed except onions, garlic, citric food like lemon, orange,... you can get the list in the first page. Too bad you are in Ipoh, or else I'll strongly encourage you to buy Nutri Smoothie. I can help if I go back to Ipoh, you can notice he will grow big and healthy with fresh food. It's a MUST for fresh food, ok. Leave Muffin for few days till he is not trying to dig here and there, jumping beside the wall of the tank trying to get out. I hope he is not so scared till he scream. Do update us on Muffin. Seems your ZooZone2 is a bit too big for him...HAHAHA....

errmm...how 2 communicate v them in order to teach?haha

Thanks for telling me the age of my hamster , I forgot to ask the seller though. The wheel is a temporary wheel , I have order Wodent wheel Sr and I'll make my payment tomorrow so roughly I'm going to get it around on tuesday. So basically , I can go buy rojak and feed Muffin yea ? *without the sauce for sure.
What about Pineapple ?
I do put some of the old bedding from petshop inside my cage , is that okay ? There's even poo on it.
Muffin is living in Extra large Bungalow.
Anyway , It's too bad that my syrian is not tame yet else it'll be more fun to spend time with.
Patience is the key ? All-rite.

Pineapple better not as it is citric food, sourish. I only guess the age of your hamster as it looks really small and young. Even if you ask the seller, I bet they may not know also or they'll simply tell you. The fluffy hamsters you saw in pet shop is long haired syrians, male syrian will tend to have longer hair than female. I think you better get the Wodent Wheel Jr instead of Sr as Muffin is not too big. Wodent Sr if tall and they are smart to climb out of the cage with the wheel stand and all. Since you no yet order, get the Jr. Better give leaf veges as they love it so much, you can buy a packet of salad from supermarket and feed. like I said, we can give a lot as we can keep a lot of fresh food in our fridge. You can change all the bedding as the pet shop always provide pine wood shaving which is bad for them. Get everything new and let him get used to it with time.

But still , if you ask me to estimate the age of Muffin , I couldn't tell you for sure. Muffin now is in the size of Robo and I'm going to pump it till chubby chubby.
I read that Sr is not really recommend for hamster , but I might going for Gerbils or hedgehog in the future , so I think Sr is a better choice for me since the price gap between Jr and Sr is just very little.
Anyway , going out for dinner , getting some rojak fruits for my Muffin!

Will advise you not to get wheel for Gerbil as they are very good chewer and they'll finish of your wheel within a day. Hahahaha.... RM60+ gone just like that. Your syrian size of a robo? Can not be ler, if like this, he maybe be less than 3 weeks old already. Maybe slightly bigger than WW la. Don't give up, still can pump him to good size start from now before he reach 2 months old.

Muffin is so cute so small compared with my room mate big size syrian, Haha.

Hehe, sorry out of topic
