I don't think anyone fed cake to their hamster before but I think it's not safe for them since it's made for human consumption.

Bread still ok if feed once in awhile as snack and in small amount.

You can try Nezu's smoothie.

Habitrail Safari & Playground are no longer in production. If he is lucky, he might find the last 1 in some petshops

Google is a very useful tool. Should try it sometimes.

Can feed them oats but in small amount. Also avoid feeding them those instant oats.

Usually instant oats have sugar and salt added in them. Also there isn't much nutrients in instant oats. That's why is better to get rolled oats to feed your hammies.

There are many forms of oats: http://www.formerfatguy.com/articles/oatmeal/oats.asp

For my syrians, I feed half a tea spoon per only. Maybe you can try the same amount.

I also use the rolled oats for mealies. I still got 3/4 of the rolled oats left.

Added on May 6, 2009, 5:06 pmLast time used to have a black banded. Found him in small petshop in Cheras. Nowadays rarely go petshop hunting with sangels. We found a lot of rare colors but didn't get any.

I think the last time I saw a solid black at Pet's Family in Taman Megah. There got a lots of syrians. Sometimes got a few rare colors in the tank.

Don't think you can find calico in Malaysia. Maybe in Singapore as the breed there is more pure than here. Plus there got a lot more rare colors.

You can find a few cream, dove and umbrous. Like in 1 out of 10 petshops

Calico is tri-color. Looks like those GP with white, brown and black coat.

Current - LH Mink banded TimTim, solid Umbrous Kiko, LH Cinnamon banded JackJack, Sable banded Pillow (Nezu's fatsoso), Umbros banded Puffie (Nezu's fatsoso)(she's my avatar. now bigger).

Past - solid Sable AshAsh (ran away), solid Umbrous DigDig (wet-tail), LH solid Cream SamSam (unknown death), SH Black banded Fumoffu (put to sleep suffered bad eye infection), solid Cream Shasha (ran away).

As Eric138 said all information is at the first page

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.

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

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

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

My Puffie started to eat the Eco Straw when I put in

I got 5 2feet tanks and a zoozone2. All using Breeder Celect as bedding

You can get the smoothie from PetShack along with the others Eric138 mentioned.

I will always get everything in 1 go at their shop. Got some discounts when I buy a lot

You can PM JTL and babydugong for more info.

They are not use to it yet. Can see some nibble marks on it. Think will take some time for them to get use it.

Anyway they have a lot to choose. Prestige Hamster, rolled oats, dog kibbles, smoothie and regal rat.

Don't have time to gut mealworms to feed them anymore.

Rule no. 1 - Never ever bathe your hamster! It's dangerous to their lives. Only bathe your hamster as your last resort.

You should wash the cage and the accessories as robos tends to pee everywhere (from past experiences with robos). If it still smells after washing, trying soaking it in hot water with white vinegar before washing. For those tough pee stains, you can soak that area with white vinegar for about 20-30 minutes before washing.

You can sand bath them. Use a deep bowl with sand bath deep until it touches the hamsters' tummy. Leave it in the cage for 30 minutes or as the toilet. Or if you got those small tank, you can put the sand bath and the robos inside for about 15 minutes.

They will go in and dig and roll around. Also they will also use the sand bath as the toilet. You can use those hamster sand bath or chinchillas sand bath (not sand dust).

There are so many bedding that you can use as long as it is not pine or cedar - Breeder Celect, Back 2 Nature, Aspen, & corncob.

That's the new ZooZone2 by Habitrail (also from Hagen) but the quality seems not as good as the original and it's more expensive.
