hello! sharing my pics here

Last year a student of mine gave me 2 male hamsters. i named them Bill and Ted. I had trouble buying hamster food around the city as the Vietnamese government imposed a nationwide ban on hamsters. Fine for possessing a hamster was up to 2k usd. had to resort to feeding them raisins and biscuits for a week until i found a "source" for hamster food.

3 months later, "Bill" gave birth to 6 hamters.  i decided to keep all of them!

speedhunter: imo not just syrians fight, my roborovskis used to fight frequently and occasionally the fights draw blood. these days i resorted to separating them into 3 cages.

Syrians, RC and WW are solitary. Means they need to stay alone.

Robos can stay in a group but better be in a same sex group (all males or all females) to prevent them from breeding and in-breeding (bro & sis, bro & mom, dad & sis, etc)

But there is sometimes RC and WW can stay together without fighting. They were together since birth and siblings.

Always remember to keep same sex pairs or groups to prevent them from breeding and in-breeding because too much breeding will shorten the females' life. Unless you planned to breed them but do read more on breeding first before doing so.

Looks nice but make sure it is hamster escape proof. Hamsters are escape artist.

Also do they like to chew on things? Scared they will bite a hole and escape on your cardboard box.

RC are bitey by nature. Not that he hates you. He could be scared of you and the other hamsters. He is being defensive.

Drinking a lot could means that the hamster have diabetes. Don't feed any fruits or vegetables with high sugar contents. Snacks also.
