perhaps you should avoid giving him too many sweet food...and ice cream must not be given to them at all...one almond daily???! almond is bad for them!

It's common for pet shop hamsters to eat the dead. They have no sufficient protein in their diet. Many pet shops feed sunflower seed diets or worst, chicken feed diets. These diets are poor in nutrition and fat and the only way the hamster could stop its craving for nutrition is by eating it's dead tankmate.

What hamster do you have? Dwarf campbells are prone to diabetes and should never be given fruits that are high in sugar.

Almonds can be toxic. If you are unlucky and were to give an almond that had a bitter taste, your hamster could die. So.... avoid giving almonds. Best you just stick to peanuts and cashews.

And no ice cream either. You sound like you did not do research on hamster care.

I was at Pets wonderland (Mid valley) the other day.
Was browsing through the hamster corner when I sported something red.
That is where I found one of the Syrian hamster chewing off his mate's head/butt.
totally disgusting.
& very irresponsible of the staffs there.
from the looks of it, the dead hamster has been there for quite some time.
if the staffs has been taking good care of the pets there, these wouldn't have happened.
Lucky the cage was located above the eye level of a kid.
it's definitely an unpleasant sight.

secondly, does hamsters have taste buds?
as in do they know what they're eating is sweet? bitter? or smelly??

I gave my hamster quite a number of fruits before.
Mango, grapes, apples, guava, & DURIAN! XD
but all of it in a very small portion.
my hamster loveeeessss durian.

& I give him one big almond daily.
my mom fed him an abalone flavoured macadamia nut when i was out for work =_="
she said he liked it.
well my hamster eat practically anything.
even ice-cream =P

Can we put syrian hamster in habitrail mini? I have 2 of syrian hamster. Adult i guess. They are sibling, so far i got nothing problem to put them in 1 house. Thx..

Wow ice cream!!!!I hope u stop this immediately.I wonder did u feed them choc ice cream

Chg to bigger house for them.They r same sex or diff sex?So far no problem,but if got problem then wat will u do?
Again...pls do research

If people never research, you wont hav handphones, color tv, air planes, light bulb, electricity, internet and every other things to use now.

Use mind? By using ur mind u would noe automatically how to keep a hamster healthily?

Everyone in here are to learn and share experience and knowledge.

What makes you think we are not able to understand animal? Yes, we might not understand FULLY but at least you would noe the most basic needs of them.

Not to degrade hamster, but human and hamster are totally different creatures. Hamster are much simple if u compare to high complexity animal such as human.

We might not fully understand the animal, at least we took initiative to study and learn, but not being ignorance and stubborn.

Dont tell me to do a research bro. Use mind k. We, a human will cannot understand the animal no matter how much we do research or study. Even we cant understand a human. They all God creature. Nobody will understand it. Dont even say ur understand it. Dont. Anyway.. Cheers..

Yeah. Im agree with u. Im, my self just about to get a deegre in veterina. Im not mad if people here say it gently and kindly. not just say "pls do a research" Arent they didnt thinking that we all do a research, and when we fail to get an answer, we ask here. So, if u guys dont want to answer, just dont. Pls, dont say " pls do a research" anymore. U will hurt other people feeling. Anyway, cheers..

The most important rule about Syrians is that they are SOLITARY... never house 2 together.

The most important rule about Syrians is that they are SOLITARY... never house 2 together.
