Hey guys , I am new im adopting hamster here ! anyway i want to ask you guys about hamster food.. where do you guys place the hamster food ? In the small bowl??? i put the food there but they spill it out all over the cage so is it okie if the food are mix with the beeding?????? How bout the amount of food should i put?? Need more guide from the pros here..

dont worry about the food mixed with the bedding. they like to do that.

about the amount - put a bit first and see if its finish. the next day, give more. When u see that its not finished, that means that the amount before that is the perfect amount

Thanks for piece of information it helps a lot! hope to learn more from u all

maybe some hammie is more "subur" than others??
n there are times when the pet shop ppl gave u the wrong info on the sex of the hammie.
my friend bought 1 each.... n there was no sign... then later on only she found out they are both females...

one of hammie is fat and lazy always sleep doesnt seems to move is this normal??? or they need more exercise like putting them into hamster ball??

Depend what time they are sleeping. They usually will be active when we are sleeping. Their timing is the other way round with our timing. Do you have a wheel for them to run in the tank. If hamster exercise ball, can't put them inside for too long, about 10-15 mins max only to avoid stress for the hamsters. What hamster do you have?

i see.... ermm i got russian dwraf WW.. this breed easy to handle??

Hmm.. 1 of my syrian female hamster suddenly not active oredi... always sleep.. eat also less liao... y ar?

haha no lah for my own use

as long as ur bedding is clean then ok

Long haired are always messy, just like my SamSam boy. His hair always get tangled with bedding and I gotta trim his hair for him before it get worse. If the hamster is more than 2 months old, it's hardly get improve by their size, maybe just a bit different with good food. Your JOJO seems already more than 2 months old if I'm not wrong. Sometimes, their genetic also affect their growth in size.

I think my hamster is pregnant " She's getting more fat than usual @@! Guess i Need another cage to seperate the male 1 .
