hmm...i give them prestige, britter bunny, fresh vege/fruits, uncle taro's smoothie-to-go, and the organic mix supplement (sory, forgot the exact name)...and multivit

actually they are not that chubby...i need to find ways to increase their appetite, they seem to be too preoccupied running in the wheel, jump here and there... and then don't really eat much


Look at my signature....their age are written there

Added on March 22, 2009, 10:01 pmi think my hammies have some itchiness problem, they will shake2 like they feel very itchy. Anyone know y? mites?

Toph has one area on his body [side], will be wetter than other areas after he grooms...anything significant with that?

if my hamsters are mite-infestated...how to eliminate mites, apart from cleaning the cage??

Just bought 2 female Roborovski after a 1 month break from raring hamsters
And this is SO much smaller and more active than my Winter White last time. haha! Can't stay still in my hands, keep running around

odd_mochi, you mean like a wet spot near his hips? that must probably be the scent gland.

me too , 1 male and 1 female robo ! so small compare to my previous syrian !!

the wet spot must probably be the scent gland. and about the mites i'm quite uncertain....maybe taking him to the vet can solve the problem...do you know how those mites got there?

sharkie... scent gland? hmm..but it was not there few months ago... the mites...

hmm since i clean the tanks quite often, im suspecting that it might be from the bedding/hay i used... huhu...

yes....actually i didnt realise there was a wet spot on smoe till few weeks after i got him....can you probably take a picture so that i can be really sure that it is the SCENT GLAND. Hope u don't mind

can u see the black spot on Toph's side? present at both side...huhu

the golden umbrous is Toph (left)...

odd_mochi,yes....that is the scent gland..i'm sure about that...no worries!:)

nice website ...got a lot of Syrian hamster varieties..
waa...make me want one Syrian laa...
anyone know any breeder of rex coated Syrian hamster? so cute...

hmm...im going to put Toph and Toby to pet hotel...for 8weeks..
have no choice

Usually what are the services the pet shop usually provide in your places?

I plan to give them Toph and Toby's food, so at least i know that they will be eating good dry food. anything else i can give them?
Obviously i can't give them fresh food....i was wandering how to substitute fresh food...preparing smoothie would be tedious for the petshop to do right?

any suggestions?

look at this too, singapore show quality syrian.. www.chipmon.com

hmmm... qualified and good breeders in our country in so hard to find...some just breed for the fun of it without knowing what are the genes that should combine and what shouldnt,and when those hamsters doesn't turn out well(health probs,fur prob,etc...)you know what happens next...i'm not saying don't go for these breeders...but just make sure that you know what u must look for and what you shouldnt...

Added on March 27, 2009, 12:54 pmerm...why don't you give them to someone you know(friends,relatives,etc...)to petsit your hamsters...i think that will be a better move.
