Need some help here. I realized that one of my hamster's teeth is too long. he still eating well.
But he cant close his mouth...
last time i did give him the chewing wood. But he didn't really use it.
Am i really need to cut off his teeth by using nail cutter?
i didn't know how to do it and don dare to do it also.... >.<

my another hamster died without any reason last 3 weeks.
but she died peacefully with her usual sleeping posture.
but the her teeth is showing outside.
can i know how many days can hamster survive without water?    

i also got this problem before now use cooking oil and wipe it around at side bottom of my hamster tank and near the lid (top part). i use fish tank for my hamster cage. maybe it sound messy but it works for me to get rid ants from crawling into my hamster tank. usually i will do this 2 or 3 weeks once.

See my housemate hamster.... roborovski

cute or not cute or not? cute lerrr, photogenic ler....   dunno why today this fella, soooooooooo tame... one in a million chances to be like this...

you can if you want to. but, in my opinion joining hamster forums such as LYN and other overseas based forum will be good as there are many experienced hamster owners.

Just taken few minutes ago.

She injured her nose when biting on the bars. Happens when you use a metal bar cage. And hamsters will get crazy when biting the bars due to the salty taste of the metal and rust.

try giving your hamster dog biscuits(without onion and garlic)...it helps.
hamsters these days can survivve without water in a very short period of time....they need them almost everyday as they are very active running and etc...

although hamsters do love sand to roll around and clean themselves, having sand as a bedding isn't a good idea....there are wide range of choice of beddings in the market such as Breeders Celect, Carefresh, Kaytee and also paper towels. so, why don't you try them. just avoid anything that has Cedar or Pine.
