Nobody ask you to find version 1 of Hamster thread, we ask you to read the first page of this thread. If you have read and you still asking basic questions, maybe you wanna read and understand it again? This thread is for hamster owners to discuss something new and more complicated, or to share info, basic info is all in the first page for newbies to read, so that no repeated questions appear again and again for the whole thread. People like odd_mochi is very good as she have done her research and really spend her time to read all the pages, really salute her , btw, I'm not Blur joey nor Blurjoey who post this:x

Depends on that person whether s/he is sensitive/allergic or not to hamster.

Pet's Lover Center have it the last time I was there. But that's a few months back.

Yes! Something like that but for hamsters.

Konbawa,

Why are you encouraging people to breed and sell to petshops for income? Why are we even raring hamsters in the first place here? Is it to make profit from breeding them? No right?

We rare them it is because of the love we have for them. What you are suggesting here is totally wrong for this forum and unethical. Also, breeding is very very bad for female's health and it can shorten their lifespan and it will be very stressful for them.

With what you have written above here, this will mislead newbie hamster owners to think that what you said is the "correct thing" to do and they will not separate their hamster for good cause they don't need to worry about having lots of pups cause they can sell them for money and keep their hamster s together. With this, our effort of giving correct info is in vain.

One more thing - Do you think petshops will care if the hamster offsprings are of good bloodline? Have you even seen the hamsters that are sold in the petshops? They only care about selling them only.

Can't really see clearly. It would be easier if you have a close up pic with macro mode. But I think I saw a flesh color ring but not 100% sure.

Eyering is a ring around the eye. If you see sable or mink syrians, you can see there is eyering around their eyes. Looks like they are wearing a mask like Zorro.

Here you go:

Look at the sables. All have cream colored eye ring.

Eye rings only on sables & minks. Other not sure as we don't have a lot of different syrian colors.

Mealworms is mainly for the protein content. You want them to grow sideways? Feed more fresh vegetables and smoothie.

If you're gerli about handling mealworms, you can feed your hammies soft white tofu instead.

More fresh vegetables will do also. All hamsters like to hide their food.

Today a sad day as our solid cream syrian, SamSam, passed away this morning

This video of him climbing out of his playpen in April 2008


He was still active yesterday climbing around in his tank. Today he is gone.

Cause of death unknown

Hamsters have lifespan of 2-3 years. If you convert 1 hamster year to human years it would be about 30-40+- years old.

All hamsters are expert escape artists. Everyday my syrian hamsters are experimenting how to escape from their tanks.

All of mine syrians and duprasi are staying in 2feet tanks and a syrian in Zoozone2. Is this big enough?

I can tell you 2 feet tanks they also managed to break out

He is about 1 year+. He is from Penang.

We mix corncob with BC. That was last time. Now we are using BC only.

Zoozone no longer in production. If lucky, you can still find a zoozone in some petshops in KL but who knows?

There is a rumor that there will be a new zoozone coming out soon but don't know when only.

Better you go and explore pet shops than asking here. No one here stay or work in a pet shop 24/7 except JTL and babydugong

If want to know about the zoozone and their accessories then call Hagen Malaysia and ask. They will direct you in the right directions.

Yes it is. But you know wear and tear happens when you hammy runs alot in it. A little petroleum jelly (lubricates the joints) can fix it like new.

Added on January 15, 2009, 7:02 amIt's in Mentari Park opposite Sunway Pyramid. It's behind the McD. Closer to that steamboat restaurant (can't remember the name). You can walk over from Pyramid using the pedestrian bridge if I remember correctly.

There is a map here:

Aiya! Forgot about that newly implemented law. I wonder would they ban even if just give directions to any pet shop?
