yea mine 1 & half year old hamster now so lazy want to running around,digging or play with his wheel.

what wheel are you using? perhaps it is too small? are you using the wodent wheel?
my current syrian hamster never liked running in his wodent wheel( i know, ITS WEIRD!)...But all my other hamster loved running in those wodent wheels!
so, what i do nowadays is just give him more ball-time...and now i thought of weaning him into a open-wheel(such as Comfort wheel) and see if it works.

i`m using the wheel provided in habitrail ovo suite...do i have to change it???

i also using habitrail ovo... my hermes run on it...but he is WW...

would it be too small for syrian?

too small eh?? coz i`ve read in which site i dun remember saying that ovo wheel is suit for all hammy...ermM~~ btw thankz!!

The wheel that comes with the Ovo is too small for syrians. Syrians requires at least 8 inch wheel.

You can still use the current wheel if your syrian is still small. But replace it with a bigger wheel as it the small wheel will cause their backs to have problems due to long term use.

but ww can use right? T-T

anybody know why my robo is biting the cage(metal) nowadays? his bedding is new, he got fresh food everyday, and he lives alone.. since they are better alone ( as i read here), he isnt biting coz bored rite??

i think a lot hammie actually like to bite if u use wire cage..

this is one of the reason people prefer to use tank..

ic.. then nothing i can do? -.- coz i see if he continue biting, it will rust.. and possibly poison him..

tat's the reason people don use wire cage lo....

there is one thing u can do.. ----> change the housing from cage to tank lo...

WW won't get as big as a syrian. So can use.

Yo everyone, long time never post here. Last week I went to Pet Family and saw lots of black, black banded, sable and umbrous golden syrians. Black is getting more common nowadays.

can someone let me know where can i find aspen bedding around subang area and kl area?

Very hard to get Aspen bedding in KL and Subang. What about other bedding like BC or the Oxbow bedding? Both very good.

Guys, My female WW is pregnant for about 3-4 weeks dy so I'm expecting delivery soon. Is it a good idea to keep the male with the female before and after delivery?

And no it's not a good idea to keep the male and the female together as the male will try to mate again.
