1. cage/tank
2. prestige hamster or harry hamster
3. bedding (anything except pine beddings)
4. wheel
5. food bowl
6. water bottle
7. hideout
8. bowl for toilet
9. non-clumping toilet sand (non-clumping cat litter)
10. bathing sand (only for dwarf hamster)

Give them the toilet/kitchen roll's center. FOC and many around the house if you don't throw away.

You haven't seen those in the big pet shops in KL. More worst and sad than what you saw there.

Sorry I can say any pet shops name in here due to the new law. Or else I will get warning or banned. Cause they deem it to be promoting pet shops etc etc etc... But if you know there are only a few big and famous pet shops in KL.

Rule #1 already said "informations regarding an animal are not allowed to have shops name posted. This is to prevent business monopoly"

Yes you must separate if they are Syrians .

Dwarf hamsters also you must separate. Yes that goes for Russian Campbells and Winter Whites.

Only Robos can stay together if from young and are siblings (this also works for Winter White) as they might fight when you try to put another with an age gap. They are territorial animals.

Added on January 18, 2009, 3:50 pmA sign for? Marital dispute?

Hamsters are not human. So they don't have feelings like us humans. They only have animal instincts.

They don't need companions with them. So they don't care if they are gf, bf, husband, wife, father, mother, uncle, aunty, etc... they will still fight.

So please do the right thing and separate them into different tanks/cages.

Seems like she is if she gotten defensive. Better take the male out to another tank or else they will fight till one bleed or die. The male wants to mate with her again because instincts tell him that.

Just leave them alone for a few days to get used to their new home and environment first. They can get stress and get wet-tail disease.

They can only get that big if they are feed well before they are 4 months old. During that time is when they grow in size. After that period is their permanent size or smaller.

Marshmallow change fur ar? Now all gray instead of the white color.

If you clean away the bedding with the pee daily then you might not have a smelly problem. If left too long and you will have a public toilet environment in your room But ventilation is important also.

If too cold (below 17 degrees) the hamster will go into hibernation. If wild hamsters they will be fine during hibernation as they have stocked up on food. But for domesticated hamsters, there will be a problem of them starving themselves to death during hibernation.

More information at the first page. Read there.

You need a young female syrian hamster for? I hope it's not for breeding.

Anyway have you seen the conditions of the hamsters and other pets in Pets Wonderland? Still want to buy from there? Also RM35 is expensive for a syrian hamster.

Yes those are winter white. Their fur will change color depending on the weather.

If you put them in an AC room 24/7, it can have the same effects.

Do you have the link to the source for this information?

Just wait lor. Less people online during CNY and also the hamster thread gotten abit quiet d.

You already did the wrong thing by buying her a female and a male hamster. They will breed and keep on breeding till the female die from malnutrition or the male die from fighting with the defensive pregnant female because the male wanted to mate with the female. Also winter white are territorial hamster and you're suppose to keep 1 per tank/cage. There is always stress to hamster when there is another hamster in their territory.

Unless the winter white are siblings and have been kept together since young. Then there is a chance of keeping them together but remember same sex pair to keep them from breeding or in-breeding.

Added on January 27, 2009, 11:50 amWhy were your cage complicated in the first place? Are your WW a male and a female pair?

Also why are you re-introducing them again if they are a male and a female pair? This will lead to them breeding again. The female will die due to too much breeding because her body can't cope with the stress of giving birth.

Please do the right thing and separate them to avoid your female WW dying, male WW dying, bloody fights, unwanted WW babies, defects in WW babies due to in-breeding, etc.

To my knowledge, WW are solitary hamsters and you cannot keep them together but there is a chance they can stay together if siblings and have been together from young.

Just ok for WW and expensive. Cleaning is also not easy as you need to take a part the whole thing. Have fun!

It's just ok for 1 WW but there a lot of cons with the Ovo Suite.
