Hamster have high metabolism and requires food constantly. That is why dry food is required in the tank 24/7.

Did you leave them enough water in the water bottle?

Also you said your hamster lived to be 2 years old could a reason that she died of old age :hmm:  :hmm:  :hmm:

something happened to Toph 2days ago...
i woke up early in the morning to clean their tank, and found out Toph was missing.. he wasnt' in his house, or anywhere in his tank...
the small lid of his 2ft tank was opened, so i thought he escaped...

i searched all the places i thought he would hide in....but to no success...
then my fren came after i alerted them regarding Toph... and said she thinks its impossible for Toph to escape his tank in such tank-setting..

then i said..."takkan he's under the see-saw..." and when i turned over the see-saw toy....He was STUCKED under the see-saw! Goodness gracious...!! he didn't moved and i thought he was already dead until he suddenly 'pop-out' from underneath the see-saw!

huhuhuhu it hurted so much to see his condition....his body looked like he was squeezed, and he was wet at his head and bit of his body parts.... the floor where see-saw was, was also damp....i think it's his sweat....

fortunately after sometime, he got back to his normal look...eating, drinking, and playing well.... i tot i lost him huhuhu....really good thing i turned over the see-saw....

im not using the see-saw toy oredi...wonder how he got stucked underneath that thing.... u guys better be careful of ur toys ya...

Coz I'll be going for a holiday trip and I cant bring her along...
