Congrats! Post more pics of the babies before they go their new homes.

Don't think can separate the smoothie and the omega 3 & 6 once it is mixed together. If your hamster don't like the taste then it's better to get the non-omega 3 & 6 smoothie and buy the omega 3 & 6 separately to add to the smoothie according to the hamster's taste.

LOL! You wrote the omega and the smoothie to be separated so I misunderstood your reply

Do you think pet shop will use extra cages/tanks to store each syrian? Also the space needed for each cage/tank required. No right? This will cost money to use the cages/tanks and space. The pet shop does not care about syrians being solitary and all that crap.

As Hun said, yes they do fight and die...

Betta (fighting fish) are different. You compare how much space does a betta takes and a syrian takes.

Syrians can stay together until they are about 4 months old. After that they will get territorial and fight.

Well depends. Some are very young syrian as young as less than 1 month old. And their are not weened from their mom yet.

Yes you can stack them on each other. There is a little space between the lid and the bottom of the tank for ventilation when stacked. The lid actually have side guard to keep the stacked tank in place.

But not sure how effective the space is for the ventilation.

If the above option is not available then use low heat and blow dry the hammy from about 1.5-2 feet away.

Hot sun will give your hammy heat stroke. Best to avoid it.

Added on September 29, 2008, 8:56 amOnly bathe your hamster as your last resort.

Me and sangels were forced to bathe our syrian, SamSam, due to his long fur covered in his poo and pee and he stank really bad. We tried the damp cloth with Oxyfresh, even sand bath and he still stinks.

We quickly bathe him in pet safe shampoo and warm water. Dried him quickly with a towel and blow dry with hair dryer with the low heat. The whole process took less than 5 minutes.

Ovo Loft is about RM200+. You sure you want to get that? You can get a zoozone2 (3 feet) for RM140 if you can still find it as it is no longer in production. Waiting for new zoozone models now. Get a 2 feet guppy tank for RM30-50. Easier to take care of.

You can get Harry Hamster or Prestige Hamster for their food. Bedding you can try corncob, breeder celect, back 2 nature, or chipsi (can't remember which suitable for small animals). All on the 1st page.

Sand bath is for hamster to bathe in to get rid of the extra oil and smell. Depends on which breed of hamsters will need sand bath.

You don't feed can dog food to hamster. It's the kibbles. Search for those without garlic in the ingredients. Pedigree are low quality brands. I think crazymouse got mentions some brands to get in the last reply. Please read.

The price of syrians? It depends on pet shops. From RM10-30. Yes only these few breeds in petshops. Syrians, WW, robos and RC.

It's seer-ee-uhn from dictionary.com. Can listen there on how to pronounce.

Added on September 29, 2008, 11:30 amSome hamsters will eat the sand to replenish minerals in their body. So it is safe.

But remember not get those clumping kind as it the chemicals for clumping is bad for them in the long run.

Added on September 29, 2008, 11:32 amSyrians don't roll in the sand bath. That is why we pour some sand bath on their backs and they will shake it off.

I think those that roll in the sand bath is robos. Not sure about RC and WW though.

Actually they are not getting along. They are just tolerating each other due the limited space.

If you put them in a bigger tank or cage, their territorial instinct will kick in and the fights begins. Then you will see injured hammies.

Anyway this can cause stress and will cause wet tail disease and infect all hamsters.

You can try eating only french fries (chips) everyday. See what it does to your body and health.

And please stop posting those 1 line replies. Crazymouse have already said so and will give warning for those 1 liner replies.

Actually it is your decision to buy which ever cages or tanks that you fancy. In your reply, I can see that you really want to buy the OVO Loft but due to some members here giving the otherwise. You hit a stump.

Everyone here have gave their opinions regarding the OVOs and recommended others to you. You already have all the advice here.

If you want something pleasing to your eyes then get the OVO Loft. Or get a zoozone1, zoozone 2 or a 2 feet guppy tank if you want something comfortable for the hamster to stay in.

I can tell you that cleaning the OVO will be a hassle compared to the others recommended.

Good luck!

Saw it in Pet Safari & Fluff. I think Pet Shack have zoozone but can't remember which zoozone?

No. It is a 5kg packing. There have small packing for 1kg also. Just go there and ask them and they'll show you.

Welcome new user. It is best that you read through the thread first as all the information you required is there.

You need to put the sandbath into a deep bowl and they hamster will climb in and dig and roll around themselves. But syrians don't do sand bath as they groom themselves more. Only dwarves hamster uses sandbath.

Becareful where you get the syrian as some petshops will sell unhealthy syrians or really young hamsters which haven't ween from their mother yet.

Try getting Frisian Non-clumping cat litter to be use as the toilet sand. You can get them in any pet shops under the cat section. Pet Shack does sell them too and also have smaller packets on sale.

If you want them to pee everywhere else then yes it works as bedding too.

Wodent wheel is a simple wheel with a few parts holding it together. Yes it is easy to clean but it is also prone to being a toilet and home for the hamster. The pee will get into those little spaces. I have to use old toothebrush to scrub those little places

OMG! Read the thread first! Anyway it's WW = Winter White not WW = Winter Winter.

OMG! Don't tell me they are male and female pair!

OMG! Of course he won't tell you la. He wants your money more than selling less. You have to separate as soon as possible.
