i have a doubt on using hay...won't the spikey edges poke their pouches? just curious..

Some say it can be use..some say will injured ur hamster..but i think it's up to u to choose..

For me i will choose to give occassionally for them to do nesting..don put 24/7..

And i am feeding oxbow hay based pellet as part of daily diet, so i don think they need extra hay for nutrition..

And i tried putting alfafa b4..he don even touch it..he prefer tissue..Bt i heard some members offer hays for their hamster to play.. for life stimulation..

I usually cut my timothy hay to small pieces and put inside the tank. They like using it for nesting. But like eric said, tissue paper still their favorite ><

I wonder who will start V13?

no worry..nezu will do it..

Okok
Cos recently this thread not very active,dun really knw wats going on

Your female is trying to tell you something. it doesn't want to be a mother.

You lack of an important info. If the female eats up her pups after you have given proper care, iot doesn't mean she feels threaten or lack of protein. It either means the pups have some health problem and she is culling them to avoid losing energy to nurse them or she doesn't want to have pups. So now listen to her, learn from her and do not BREED her again.

I think this words got lot of meaning.. Very correct.. Sometimes, hams not yet ready to breed & forced em to do that
just make their life ruin.. Think bout enjoy 1st than taking family in.. U also need to spend lots of money later for
the pups... HURM...

Hamster needs alot of fresh food daily, but always remember you need to feed in a balance ratio. Offer 50% vegetable and 50% fruits, leaf and non leaf, sweet and non sweet, feed at least 8 - 12 veriaty per week.

Fruits: (Make sure all the seeds that are not edible are removed, grape seeds too)
Apple, Blueberries, Cherries, Cranberries, Dragon Fruit, Grapes, Honey Dew, Kiwi, Mango, Papaya, Peach, Pear, Plum, Rambutan, Star Fruit, Sun Melon, Strawberries, Watermelon.

Try not to offer too much sourish fruits like pineapple, orange and mango.

Veggies:
All vegetables.
Cabbage and Onion is NONO
Cucumber lack of nutritions.

BIG NO-NO food!!
- Chocolate
- Onion
- Garlic
- Cabbage
- Orange
- Pineapple
- Grapes
- Coffee

Sorry, newbie here, was going through the front page, caught something, I have some grapes left, and was going to feed my Squeezy tonight, then I noticed you said no to grapes. But earlier mentioned it was alright to consume. So can someone clarify this for me, is all grapes ok, all types (colour/seed/seedless, etc).
And if I feed it apple, skins on or off doesn't matter right?
Lastly about diet, what about banana (curious), is it a NONO food?

I never knew about hamsters diet till today, and I definitely didn't know they should eat veg and fru, I always thought they can't can shouldn't. Just got my hamster on Monday, rather rascal and sleeps in the tunnel. I'm not sure what breed is it, but I might take a picture and post it up soon, hope someone can help me identify. Again, sorry, still very new, just 3days into this gig.
But loving it
