Dismantle the wodent by taking out the pin holding it and wash lor!

Not sure about in JB but here in KL mostly all petshops sells them.

Maybe you can order online from petshack and they'll send it to you?

I didn't know KLCC got petshop? I know got Aquaria only

Some more you want to smuggle them out from there? Why? Cannot buy them ar?

Anyway smuggling small animals is against the law and dangerous to you and the small animals. Please don't do so and end up behind bars.

KLCC is a shopping complex in KL. I think you meant KLIA.

I think you better check with Custom before deciding to smuggle a hamster back to Sabah.

Also there are risks that the hamster will die due to stress from the traveling (car, plane, etc). Hamsters gets easily stress especially those from pet shops as they are mostly mishandled by the caretakers.

They will be fine as long as there is lots of food and water for them to last them 5 days or more. Remember to clean their cage/tank before you so when you come back it won't be so smelly Also make sure the air ventilation is good and there is no direct sunlight to the tank/cage.

Anyway why so lazy in feeding your hamster everyday? You can interact with your hamsters and they will get to know you as the human that feeds them and for the hamster to build trust in you.

The fat robos is the alpha male or female. Usually the alpha male or female will get to eat first all the good stuffs and to mate with the females if alpha male first. The smaller robos is like the subordinate. This is common for animals staying in a group.

Usually they will fight to determine who is the alpha male or female in the group. That's why you see them in all kinds of positions, chasing each other and stuffs.

That won't happened. I used to have robos and they lived to almost their old age.

Actually that depends on you whether you want to put till only cover the floor only or a few inches deep. In the end you have to decide how much you want to spend on beddings.

For me, I put till it covers the whole floor and its about 2cm in height. If your hamster is toilet train then the bedding can last 2-3 weeks with minor removal of soiled beddings.

Its normal for hamsters to eat their own poo for some of the bacteria in the poo. They will also moved their poo to another location by putting it in their cheek pouch.

One thing to know. Never ever get a male and female pair if you are not ready for the hamster to have babies. There is a lot of things to do when they are pregnant.

Please get same sex pair and also siblings to avoid fights.

WW can be tamed but not as easy as syrians. Heard that WW cannot eat fruits or too sugary veges as they are diabetic.

Think about the outcome before thinking of breeding them. You will need to separate the male and female after mating. They will fight if you don't separate.

You will need another tank for that. Then when the babies are born you will need to feed them. Then after 1+ month you need to separate by sex the babies into different tanks. If they breed then it will be called in-breeding (incest to humans) which cause genetic defects and abnormal babies.

There are more information. Please read up before breeding them as there is a lot of things to do. It's not that simple.

Males or females also same. Only that females have heat (same like woman having period) every 4 days.

You have to monitor them as they will play fight. If too serious then have to separate also.

You can feed them mealworms but gut the mealworms first with veges, dog food, etc before feeding to your hamster. The mealworms were feed with newspaper. This way the hamster will get better nutrition.

You can try feeding them till they don't want to eat no more then you will know how many they can eat.

Hey Chinshillas,

All the information you given all are wrong! Please do not mislead people with your information.

If you can provide links to prove what you said is true then please by all means do so.

The pet shops don't care about them only care about making $$$. Also space is restricted too. Its impossible if they want to put each in a tank of its own.

apanzhafran,

Read a few post before yours. They got mentioned a good vet and it's near TTDI.

Is it a female? And do you have a male hamster with her?

If it is, then it is not constipation. Your female is on heat and the male got her aroused. Females will remain still and her tail up exposing her privates so that the male can copulate with her.

May Creamy RIP...

Your robos' fur look wet. Better give them some sand bath. They will like it.

Also don't feed them so much kuachi as it's not good for their health. Small quantity is good enough.

What that yellow thing your feeding them? Bread or cake? Don't feed so much too.

Better get them some real hamster food like Prestige Hamster or Harry Hamster so you can feed together with the vegetables you are already feeding them with.

You can use chinchillas sand bath but avoid the chinchillas sand dust as it is too fine for hamster or gerbil use.

Isn't habitrail ovo a bit expensive? And the ovo's size is ok for dwarf hamsters. Got others tanks which can consider. Like the tanks used by Nezu for her syrians is good also and the price is almost the same as the habitrail ovo. Or maybe a 2 feet tank which is on the budget side.
