I'm getting a female WW, cant wait . hhaha

post up some pics ^^ wan see

actually...im having problem with my Toby...
whenever i wan to pet his back, he will be turn his head and try to hold my hand... looks like wan to climb my hand...Toph does that sometimes...and i will just let him climb....

So when Toby did that, i just waited for him to climb on my hand...tengok2 when he looked like preparing to climb....suddenly he bite me! aduih... happened maybe 2wice already...

make me feel scared to leave my hand there... he doesn't look frightened/untame....if i put him on my palms...he's very calm...just that...he likes to bite me! like want to taste my hand can eat or not...

once...my finger got a bit of blood... i always make sure my hands do not smell like food...but result is still the same...

wat should i do?

Mean your Toby is not fully tame. It's happening for my TimTim also. He will rush to my hand and bite me. Just recently he has become like that. Last time he doesn't bite.

Try calling his name first before putting your hand in. Also prepare some snack to give when he is about to bite. This will distract him from biting.

ok...will try that blurjoey... tq...
Toby wasnt like dat last time too...

when i first got him...he was so frenly...willing to climb on my palm...WITHOUT biting... hu hu hu...

hmmm patience....will try once i go back to kch... i miss them so much boohoohoo...

Happened to me b4. When they turn their back on you it becomes defensive n thinks that something is attacking it from behind, or so i think.

Try approaching it using your hands from the front, that way they can see its your hands so it knows you are there, and then you can touch/carry/hold him. Hope that works!

yeah!! got my syrian hamster from petshack the day bfore yesterday....black saber i thinK~ huhuhu....but he still scared of me when i touch him he like shock and run away.......maybe tomorrow or today he will be frendly with me~ hoping so....any recommendation to tame the hamster??

You should let the fella get used to his new home and environment first. This will take a few days to 1 week.

Try talking to him first so that he will get used to you. Then slow put your hand in tank so he can get used to your hand also. When he climbs on your hands then mean he trust you. Also try hand feeding him treats.

Don't simply go grab him or he will bite you. Once he bite and he knows you're scared, he will keep on biting.

oryte...tq! btw is it normal for him to always sleeping n wake up juz 4 eating n drink for now...?

Hamsters sleep during the day and wakes up at night. They are more active at night.

They will eat while sleeping also.

May i know where is Petshack located? is it in KL?
Are they selling lots of hamster there?
I'm having trouble looking for ww / robo hamster...

Try to get robo or ww from breeder. I saw all the hamster condition at Mid Valley Pets Wonderland. Is so not worth buying. All in bad condition. They don't even remove the dead hamster and don't know when is the last time they clean the cage. I got one source of hamster mainly robo but bout one month once got the supply. All in good condition. PM me for the address.

i would like to ask whether is it wrong to post a link of a hamster forum here?

it is situated infront of sunway pyramid....try to go to its website....there is map included~

It's in Mentari Park opposite of Sunway Pyramid. Just go the McD, It's just the block behind the McD near the steamboat restaurant.

Some of the hamster breeders here have gone quiet. Becareful though there are a few bad apples in here breeding hamster too.

the forum is categorised into syrians,dwarfs,health section and even a section to post pictures. there's barely any member there. so, why don't you join and make it active.
this forum ensure your questions with answers and gives EVERYONE chance to post their ideas. here's the link http://sharkhams.heavenforum.com/index.htm
view it and let me knw your feedback.

Hi all,

Noob question coming up, recently one of my gf's robos died. We plan to get another one, but we're not sure of the sex of the remaining one. It won't let us hold it, so i only managed to get the photo below (apologies for the low quality). Would like to know if the hamster is a guy or gal.


Thanks!

p.s: Will be getting a same sex one and hopefully they won't fight...
