They can take one or 2 as a TREAT and only once in 2 weeks or so (that's how often I feed my hams with cat biscuits. 1 each every 2 weeks. ). And only holistic ones that has no garlic in it.

You need to feed them proper hamster dry food for staple food ok?

aeon, I agree with iluv2zz, just tae a spoon, rub it all over with the shavings in the cage, scoop it up and silently return it to the nest. But don't frighten the mum and try to do it without mum panicking and stuff. Even better if the mum doesn't notice.

@odd_mochi: errr... Depends. I suggest you give your ham a few days to settle down in its new cage without being bothered. You just put it in an alien environment and it hasn't settles down.

How fast you can tame it really depends on what breed it is. What kinda hamster is yours? It's a good chance you'll get frustrated but that's the downside of loving a pet. Love = Patience + Sacrifice. If you love it, show it some patience and sacrifice some time daily to be with it.

Love=Patience+Sacrifice is the best theory that I use for all my pets. It works well.

@Aeon: It depends on the mum. If she was stressed out for some reason she can start eating her kids. Just leave her alone with her kids. You really can't save them if she won't care for them.

@odd_mochi: Syrians are easy to tame. The same as any breed, I use the bribe method. instead of chasing you ham, make him come to you. Put your palm on the shavings. Then put food at the tip of your fingers. Lay very still and eventually he will eat the food on your finger.

After a few times, move the food higher up your fingers. Make him step on your hand to eat the food. Continue going higher and higher. Then finally, when he's used to climbing on your hand to eat, move your hand a little off the shavings. If he escapes, let him. Then try again with your hand on the shavings. He'll get used to some movements.

Then he's tamed. Remember, give him lotsa patience, and understand that he is a hamster and you're much bigger than he is and he has many reasons to be afraid. put yourself in his foot.

Toph as in the earth bender in avatar?

is it not advisable to move the ham cage from one area to another? as in, during the day i put it in my room, night time put outside bcoz my room mate is a light sleeper.... and since i dun hav budget to get a silent wheel yet, i hav to move the cage in and out my room everyday, id like to hav oppinions regarding this....

Im going to buy a pack of prestige soon. my harry hamster is finishing. Yes he finishes his meal everyday. and still begs for more. haha!

oreo doesnt really like mealworms btw

OMG cute!!! Ahhh~ Don't poison me la. I have Ferro and Roche dy. Your poison will make me unfaithful.

Anyway, All my pets live in the living room, where all the guest go and the big TV is on till 11 at night. They all adapted well and is not concerned about the noise of company. So don't worry, Toph will be fine. He's a tough boy.

@sophie: My ferro likes his staple but Roche prefers other stuff. Like  fruits and vege and mealworms. So each with his own preference lo. My staple food already used a few months but not yet finish. Have to restock from Fluff next time though when I go and if they got sell Prestige. Should still have enough for 1 month.

wat shud i do? the male n female seems don't have any conflict, shud i still take it out?

1) Don't think you be able to get pass customs let alone bringing on the plane. Don't think customs will allow to bring pet rodents onboard unless its cats and dogs (but some countries require permits to bring into the country).

2) 3-4 hours max by car. Longer can cause the hamster to get stressed. Brought back 3 syrians from Penang to KL before.
