How to take care of your hamster

I just bought two female hamster today. This is for our project in Psychology. I bought it at around 630 pesos with food, cage, house (coconut shell) and ladder in Bioresearch at SM north edsa. I have decided to document/ blog all about it. Okay, since I went there and asked questions. I had a slight idea how to take care of this pet. :D YEY ME!!! =)

So, here I am sharing my knowledge to you.

Oh, by the way it's a 2 month old teddy bear looking hamster and it's a female.

Tip: If you want to train hamsters, my professor tells me that female hamsters at a young age is very easy to train.

This is how you take care of your pet hamster...
  1. Place a bedding ( wood carves, paper etc.)
  2. Change the bedding at least once a week.
  3. Do not place it anywhere near ANTS! (don't know why maybe they itch to death? can't google it though..)
  4. The sales lady says," You can't put it in direct sunlight." (Well, this is for obvious reasons... and if you don't know why, then try wearing 3 coats in a hot sunny day. You'd probably have an idea why they can't be put in direct sunlight.)
  5. In case of diarrhea, feed them sweet potato leaves (talbos ng kamote). This is the answer that the sales lady told me when I asked about, "How to cure them if they are having diarrhea?"
  6. In case you want the hamster to be at your room with your air con on, she suggests to put more bedding, probably for them to not freeze to death.
  7. My professor tells us to give him an exercising wheel. He says, "You'd be surprise how the hamster could be smart enough to escape its cage."
How to know if the hamster has diarrhea? Check his butt if it's wet. =D

My Career Path: How life created the path for me

For starters, I'm planning to jot down every lesson that I learn in my life. I will turn this sad little personal blog of mine to an inspirational blog. I hope by spreading this post out, it'll help a lot of people with the same issues that I used to have and will be having. Let me give you a brief background about me, ever since I was a kid I aspire to be the top of the class. The talented one and the best person for anything. When you see me or even look at me, you could tell that I was the intelligent one in the class. I would probably make a living for being the brightest among the crowd of students. Yep, that's me the ambitious little kid in the block. Sorry to disappoint you though, but I am nothing but an average kid in school. So, if you feel like I've wasted your time reading this. I don't mind if you close the tab now. Since, you wouldn't care less about someone like me--yet, but hopefully someday you will.  Anyhow, I have high regard for s...

Broken Heart

Image
We all go through the stage where we get our hearts broken. Then we ask the questions, "Why me?"or "Why do people like me, who're serious and loyal, get their heart broken?"   Well, I do hav e the answer for that. If you get to something that feels like you can't do it anymore. Think again.  People are given struggles that they SHOULD be capable of handling. I got my my heart broken a lot of times, probably, more than I have been loved back. I remember there was a time that I was discouraged. I felt that I was just simply too ugly for anyone. I can't be loved by someone. There was something wrong with me. But that was wrong. It wasn't me. It was just that they were looking for someone not fitting with my description. I couldn't blame them, who can? I got over it. But it took time and effort to be successful. Well, for people who get hurt. GET OVER IT!! Think of this: In this world, you cannot be the only living thing that could be hurting. The...

I Never Told You

I never told you how much it hurt me that you didn't have faith in me. It hurt me that you do not understand me, despite the number of times I tried to make you understand. I never told you that I knew that it always hurt you when I challenge you to end me with a knife. I never told you that you give me anxieties whenever you talk to me. I never told you how much love I have for you that it actually hurts me when you don't believe me. I never told you that I actually understand you. I never told you I get why you are who you are. I never told you that you are not the ideal mom nor the perfect mom. But you tried and fought hard to provide the best things for us. I am so much grateful because I became this strong because of your influence in me. I never told you that I wanted to do the same for you too. I wanted to give you the best life that you deserve to  have. I wanted to erase all of your problems. But there's little power in me to do these. I never told you that I have ...
