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

wat temperature to cause this effect?

i thought kaytee food products aren't good for hamsters. kaytee food products contain Ethoxyquin which maybe hazardous to animal's health.

cold temperature... winter white will change to winter coat...

help....how the differential the babies robo at age of 26th day???
any other detail picture to show...all i see seem the same...

never hear of it.

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

lift them up and check their genitals lo... got balls den male... no balls means female...

I saw that article before but whether it is harmful or not is still highly debated. They only use a small amount of that in the food though.

still small haven got ball la...

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

Plan to keep a pair. Others I will put for adoption. I'm from klang and you have to self collect.

hey ppl, i've posted here last year saying that i bought my friend a pair of hamsters (1f 1m) for her bday present.
and today my friend told me(sms) that the female somehow fought with the male and the male bleed to death when she was out.
sigh.

What breed of hamster is it? It is possible for that to happen. The cage might be to complicated and when the female/male got stuck somewhere and their partner might step of them will cause a fight. It happens to my winter white before but i manage to reintroduced them back after 1month.

its winter white. and the m just left the f pregnant(coz my friend say now the f VERY fat).
2nd time pregnant ady.

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.

Can reserve the rest for me? I have the cage and everything ready.
I can come to klang to collect. No problem at all! Yours is Robo hamster right? hehe..

I read it in a hamster forum before called hamster heaven. unfortunately, the forum is no longer available. i'm very sure that other forums do have the info about that. and providing the link here might be against the rules(IDK). plus, i have to look through the whole website to search for it. but you can try wikipedia or other websites to get more info. they may be in small amounts. but, why take the risk.
(i'll PM you the link if i get to find them) Try wikipedia.

hope no one gets offended. i was just trying to help.
