My friend said that you have to show that your hands=fun. If she likes the ball it'll be really easy. Put your hand in and put your ball over the hand. If she climbs your hand let her in.

If she don't want to climb, don't give her. Take the ball away. That was how Tiny was trained.

After a while you can put you hand in, take out and pet her a bit. Then put in the ball. After a while she'll get the idea that hands=playtime

Ic...last time i put my hands in she bite my finger.Luckily din bleed.I think dat time she mistook my hand as food
Will try every trick here...thx

And she likes string and take the string into her hidout,shud i use this trick replace the ball trick?

she's already be with me for about 5 month. she will get out when i offer her treats or its time for her to come and get her food. after taking all the food from my hand, she will head back into her hideout and eat in there all continue sleeping

i think i will try this, taking her hideout out, let only her exercise wheel and water bottle and her toilet (she's toilet train though )
should i put her on my table so that he can get use of my movement?? she's sometimes startle when i make a sudden movement in front of her, i need to move very slowly everytime i approach her or else she will be like going to jump out of the cage

Take out the wheel also. Just left food and water bottle. Take everything out when you are around in the house. Let him get used to people and noise to make him brave. Good luck to you.

it will be only me in this room. anyway, thanks a lot for the tips, i hope it works, logically it will work i'll get back here when there is an improvement

My fren's hamster is having wet tail n diarrhea. Took to vet d but she said cant do anything. Duno wat to do now. =<

Wet tail disease...erm..which vet ur fren went to? Not all vets noe how to treat hamster.. U shud try vet... I'm sure vet has medicine for wet tail disease..

Make sure ur fren separate all the hamsters, becoz the virus may spread to other hammie as well..

not sure which vet..
any1 can recommend a gud vet?
only 1 syrian hamster..

I heard dat wet tail disease is very hard to treat ady.Shud hav taken her to the vet when she having diarrhea

You can try Dr Jenny at Hand&Paws.

Make it asap. It can spread very very fast.

No harm getting second vet advice.

Stop feeding veges for the mean time pls (anything else possible that can give diarrhea) ~ and hands n paws is a good vet..

okay, thanks guys.
will let my fren noe about this.
thx so much..

possible... previously she is very fat... i jz feed her normal hamster mix food sold in jusco and normal petshop... she eats but refuses to exercise... jz sleep day and nite...

last few months she did start to exercise and got slimmer...

nope no injury or fall... a couple of days ago i was busy working didnt pay attention to her... but i did make sure she gets food and drink everyday...
if her death is due to external injury or fall, i think i know who i need to question... my friend stayed in my house few days ago, but not sure he got go kacau her or not...

i got her during july 2008... i think dat time also 1-2 months old already.... means her age is around 1 year plus....

normal hamster mix sold in jusco...

Those hamster mix food is not healthy for them.The hamster food sold in hypermarket usually contains lots of kuaci and corn.Try feed ur hamster better food like Vitakraft High Premium as stated in the 1st page.
Although currently i'm feeding my hamster Vitakraft Premium,but it still contain lots of kuaci and corn so i hav to pick them up when filing her food bowl.Dats y Vitakraft High Premium is better
And dun forget treats

De-gas some 100+ and syringe feed the syrian so that it have a better chance of surviving before bringing to the vet. Wet-tail can kill in 24 hours.

As blurjoey mentioned last time, vitakraft premium is local made and high premium range are germany made.

Hyourinmaru, u can start considering changing the food after finish up ur current packet..hehe.. so much difference..

Hamsters will take stuff to make bedding. I don't recommend that you continue using strings because she may choke on it. Tissue paper wins.

My dad is a psycho...he bought WAY TOO MANY TREATS. for one hamster. I think like 6 or 7 packs of them. WTH Money fly away because too much treats not good for hammie >_<

We cut them up into small pieces (about 1/6th) and he'll feed her one piece every morning. But still I rather give veggies leh

Hamsters will nibble out of curiosity when they're babies, so keep your hand as still as possible lol.
