Quote from the web

'Dog food is generally NOT safe for hamsters. It has high levels of protein and fat since it is made to be eaten by a bigger animal, and can cause the runs, which is easily fatal in hamsters.'

One of the biggest prob for dog food i think is the fat and protein... So so high~~~

I think puppy's food contains higher nutritional value than adult dogs.I feed mine wiv dog kibbles than puppy kibbles.Of cos,as treat.

but puppy food contains higher protein than adult's..

Anyway, i don really favors dog/cat kibbles..even as treats.. There are so many treats out there specially made for hammie..

Lol...of cos not every treat also use dog kibbles la
Mealies is good and I'm planning to buy the vitakraft treats

plan to buy a hamster~~

Here and here should help

I have very sad news to bear

Tiny escaped and probably jumped out of the building already sob sob sob

how she escaped? We purposely hang the water bottle out of reach yet she somehow STILL manage to climb on it and PUSH THE LID OFF with her nose!!

We totally didn't expect her to escape like that. Nobody noticed it because we are all sleeeeppiiinnggggg
I was brushing my teeth with a motorized brush summore, very noisy.

I only discovered it when I wanted to look at her before sleeping, every night. Then....NOT IN THERE

THE BALCONY DOOR IS OPEN

We quickly closed the balcony door and we've spent the night searching. In the morning my poor dad searched again

No sound, no body, nothing. We've placed treats and food around the place but nothing was touched...
Aiyoooh I kept dreaming about the hamster. So sad...

We'll be giving up if she doesn't come out by tonight....time to clean the cage to prepare for the next hamster

If you're wondering why didn't we use the exterior method so there's no place to climb, that's because she would relentlessly bite the bottle all night and wake eveyone up.

Nothing works....not even vinegar can stop her from wanting her way

Is it because my cage is too boring? What do you suggest for my next hamster so that she can be kept entertained while we sleep.

I feel so bad . We gave her four chewtoys and the house as a stepladder....also not enough. We play with her also not enough. And now she ran away

Sad to hear it.. Hope she still in d house & urs can find it.. maybe in some dark place..
But i oso wondering., ur hams still run away even u have put too much playing items inside..From wat i know,
pets always wanna get out from their cage.. not only hamster larh.. No one wanna spend their life in a cage..
So try to find it again... GUD LUCK YA<<<

On the topic of that...if Tiny doesn't show up that means she has fufilled her dream of wanting to fly (seriously, that hamster doesn't STOP. she will always go one direction and one direction only throughout the whole night when we play with her.)

We want to get a hamster from you guys. I only know CCH, Sangels and Nezu. Who are the other qualified home breeders who don't have super jumpy and traumatized hams hams?

P.S I only want Syrians.
