You can train your hamster to be awake in the morning and it takes time. Try to play,fill in the food during the day. About 2 months they will be awake on the day. But starting your hamster might dislike it. My robo active during the day. Provided you have a cooling cage. A heaty cage makes them sleep even more.


Your hamster died due bad digestion. You must have fed something SHOULDN'T be fed to your hamster. I also experience once. Moreever already 2 years. Too much vegetable maybe. And your bottle might be poisonous. Have you check? Direct pipe water got a lot of chlorine. Long term consumption kills your hamster.

here's the link on ETHOXYQUIN. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethoxyquin

well, you can use toilet roll a.k.a tissue paper.they are cheap,easy to get and not harmful. just a suggestion. btw, there are other kaytee beddings which are not wood based. or maybe you can order online.
hope these helped.

What should I do with my old hamster food? Throw it away? A little scared of using it...

That's just a wikipedia site telling what is ETHOXYQUIN. Where is that article you mentioned earlier about Kaytee pet food and ETHOXYQUIN?

It only said:


Does this means all pet food? Then we have to boycott all pet food. Then what should we feed our pets with?

Ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative – and possible carcinogenic – regulated by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) as a pesticide. While ethoxyquin cannot be used in human foods, it continues to be used in many pet food brands. Ethoxyquin has been found to promote kidney carcinogenesis and significantly increase the incidence of stomach tumors and enhanced bladder carcinogesis, according to several studies, including a recent one by The Department of Pathology, Nagoya City University Medical School, Japan. http://www.aplus-flint-river-ranch.com/def...n.php?win=small

to get more info why don't use search engines(yahoo,google, etc...).
although a small amount is used when we give those food( with E) it accumulates in the animal's body. plus, not all animal food i guess. i just refered to sluis's ingredients. it doesn't contain E. but it consist of Tocopherol which is safe.

I do know how to search for information. But earlier you said something about Kaytee and ethoxyquin. But you didn't get that website to support your fact. But in the end you gave us website telling us what ethoxyquin is. Anyone can easily find out what is ethoxyquin. I just want the website you mentioned about Kaytee and ethoxyquin. That's all.

I found it here in another forum:

Have a nice day!

My robo are mostly like that already. I only did to a pair and the pups all follow the parents. Is like 5 years back. Before this the hamster awake at night also not really active. Cause me not there to play with them

My baby syrian...10 of them and 23 days old now. Various colours..

hi zulkis...nice and cute syrians u have there..
btw, i think it would be better for you to reduce the amount of kuaci u give the hamsters...

there are not really good for their health... if not mistaken the info about recommended dry food is on the 1st page of this thread

hope ur lil hamsters will grow chubbier and cute! hehe

Ok noted. I gave them a bit only also mix with Prestige mix and some vege (once a week). These baby hams will open for sale lorr.

what size tank u r using? it looks pack in the photos. also no that much kuachi. and i don't see any prestige in the photo. they need high protein and nutritions food.
