Thanks for the info. Yeah, my sand is scented... Didn't know it was scented when bought, can't read the Japanese words on it....
But if they do their business in there and eat the food...Isn't it unhygienic? Will they get sick?
Currently I have 2 Syrians in a storage box, a 6 month old and a 2 month old. They get along fine. But I don't want to breed them. Previously bought a wrong sized cage(for dwarf hamsters, the biggest size in the shop), and the male killed the other female. I'm thinking of splitting the box [50(W)35(D)x30(H)cm] from |      |  >  | | | Will it be spacious enough for them?

That Hammie looks like it's smiling =D

wow!nezumitaro! i didn't know you had so many hamsters, lol! they must cost you a fortune!
btw,nice hamster-room you have there!

syrian.i tot syrian shud be kinda tame...rarely bite wan oh..

Dragon fruit, if want to feed need to remove the black seeds right?

8 inch wheel damn hard to find wei..haha..Anyone from Kepong here that knows where to get it?

Just throw them in a bucket with 3/4 filled water and then Watch them. They are natural Swimmer...

Oh Ya make sure you use hair dryer to 'cool' them off.

Sigh... No ppl bother the word 'bucket' anymore. It's so small that even any hummy can stand... NVM it's nice to know that human cannot swim in a 20 feet swimming pool wihtout any ladder to get out while they can float on it. No PUN. ROFL

FYI, The only time I bath them is where their skin got rashes due to sleeping too much in their toilet. Other than that, bathing sand is just fine for me.

True, it can be done from a distance with the heat setting. But there are some ppl that used hairdryer before and burnt the ears until it crisped and curled. Good that you know how to use it for the hamster.

Wah, 8 of them? Syrian or ww?

Diarrhea

Diarrhea can occur, usually caused by a virulent strain of E. coli or Salmonella, which is most common among weaning gerbils (3-6 weeks). Symptoms include lethargy, thinness, increased irritability, hunched posture, fluid or bloody diarrhea, and a wet, soiled anal area and tail. It is treatable with antibiotics, yet the gerbil may remain a carrier of the germ and spread it to other uninfected gerbils. For this reason, a gerbil that has had diarrhea should not be chosen to breed with.

I don't play with them simultaneously.. I have 2 Syrians also. I take time for one and maybe take a rest or do something else then later on play with the other one. I also hand feed treats most of the time to make them accustomed to the smell of my hands.. I also think 4 months is still young and easily tamed.. Just give it a try and dont give up

cat kibbles's protein too high for hamster...even dog cant take the amt of protein a cat need. i will suggest tat pick the cheapest brand dog food...the protein is more thn enough for hamster

Hey Guys..
As I Know Pine Bedding Are Bad For My WW..
So Yesterday I Go To 'Chi Cheong Gai' Petmore Shop See See I Bought A Big (Some Sort Like A Sand Of Hard Wood) For My Hammy..
Wasted 50 Bucks And Its Worth For My Little Cutie^^

Q&A:
Does The Sand Of Hard Wood Bad For Them Too?

They Act Like Dog Digging Does It Normal?

I Bath Them Like The Pet Shop Worker Told Me..
Warm Water (Not Really Hot La..)
Slowly Wipe Their Body (Not On Ear/Head/Eye)
Then Use Towel Slowly (They Keep Kicking Out From My Finger Hug)
Finally Use Hair Dryer Speed Of 1 And Hot On 1
Does It Right?

wat is PLU
