PET FAIR PHILIPPINES: Campus Edition
Come and join us on February 19, 2013 @ the Lyceum of the Philippines (Calamba, Laguna) 9AM onwards!
STAPLE FOOD FOR HAMSTERS
Locally available food mixes / brands of hamster-safe staple food + their pro's and con's.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
*Hindi maganda ang madaming Sunflower Seeds dahil High Fat Content ito na maaaring mag cause ng Diabetes at Heart Complications
* Hindi maganda ang madaming Millet Seeds dahil high Iodine Content ito na maaaring mag cause ng Kidney Failure
*Once na naglagay ka na ng Calf Manna wag ka na maglalagay ng Bio 800 since pareho sila n protein content .... ma-overdose ng protein ang alaga mo.. pero mas suggested ang Calf Manna since mas mabango yun
* Mas maganda ang Cat Food kesa sa Dog Food kasi mas low fat content yun at mas marami ang grain content so mas high fiber yun which is really good sa metabolism ng hamster

- Super Conditioner - Balanced naman yung mix na 'to so far. It has a wide variety of grains and seeds. Downside lang is the peas and beans which can be difficult fo the hamsters to eat. Oftentimes, iniiwan nila. Average cost: P30/k
- Super Concentrate - OK rin naman pero mostly wheat grains. Limited choices for hamsters but contains no peas or beans. Same specs as Super Conditioner, but agai, more wheat. Average cost: P25/k
- Purina Bio 300 / 200 - Best type of feed for all small animals. Balanced content, fortified and in pelleted form. So hindi magiging choosy mga hamsters with this. The only downside is this feed can make your hamsters' poop and pee smell a bit bad due to the vitamins and minerals added to it. Average cost: P27/k
- Versele-Laga CuniGran - Has a wide-array of contents. Veggies, seeds, nuts, grains, crunchies, and the ever famed pellets. Hamsters typically love this kasi it smells sweet but, wasteful kasi they leave the dark green pellets behind. The pellets are made of alfalfa, hay, and grass, primary target kasi ng CuniGran are Guinea Pigs and Rabbits who consume a lot of greens. Kinakain rin naman ng hamsters but in smaller amounts. This feed is also fortified with basic vitamins and minerals (Vit. A, D, Copper, Ash). Not very cost effective and advisable lang as a mixer in small portions.Average cost: P70/k
- Vitakraft Menu For Hamsters - The MOST popular brand sa mga prestige hamster food. Basically, well-balanced. Very wide variety ng contents and fortified with vitamins and mineral. Also controls the odor of your hamsters' excretions, hence, less odor. Downside is hindi lahat ng hamsters, gusto 'to. Also, recently, masyadong madami yung alfalfa pellets sa packs nila, but the hamsters seem to eat them though. Downside is may mejo malalaking pieces na bilog, which can be difficult for them to gnaw, hence, iniiwan nalang nila. Good for their teeth rin yung gnawing pieces. Average cost: P200/k
- Versele-Laga Hamster Crispy - Very rare 'to but mas mura compared sa Vitakraft. Very wide variety, more than Vitakraft actually. Fortified with 9 vitamins and minerals and with odor control plus flora-stimul (good bacteria) for digestion. My hamsters love this pero may mga big pieces na I cut up nalang. Balanced yung mix, alfalfa pellets, nuts, seeds, grains, crunchies, crispies, veggies and fruits. Downside, mejo mahirap hanapin and magastos kasi they tend to hoard this food. Average cost: P150/k
- Pet-Link / Jolly Hamster - Eto yung "Chin-chan-soo" ang tawag ko. Brands that come from Hong Kong / Singapore. Balanced variety and merong added treats na rin. May gelatin, biscuits, and dried fruits na kasama as treats. Fortified with Vit. A. Good brand naman and smells good too. Hamsters like this but they tend to leave the split-peas. Walang pellets, purely seeds, grain, nuts lang. Downside, sa Cartimar lang available pero worth trying. Average cost: P120/k

SOME THINGS TO KNOW AS A HAMSTER OWNER
All hamsters should be handled at a young age, so that they would be familiar to your scent, and would be easily tamed.
They should not be picked up by the scruff of the neck, because this contributes to aggression.
Placing hidey holes and wood blocks also lessen the aggressive behavior in hamsters towards the pet owner, and towards each other.
Young hamsters tend to become aggressive as they grow older if they experienced a hamster of a different breed invading their territory.
Hamsters of different breeds should be housed separately.
Dwarf hamsters like campbell, winter white and roborovski can be housed together after the weaning process given that they have good temperament. Also, this should only be temporary, and as much as possible should be avoided.
Syrian hamsters can be housed together if they're still young. If they have a good temperament, they can still be housed together after two months old if they show no sign of aggression towards each other, and if they are of the same sex. The default however is that they should be caged individually. If they are to be bred, do not place the male hamster inside the cage of the female. It should be the other way around, and do not keep the female in the cage of the male after they have mated.
Inbreeding should be avoided as much as possible because it might result to the following: smaller litter, infertility, deformities, diseases: diabetes is the most common disease that results from inbreeding, especially in dwarf hamsters.
