OMG U GAVE ME A IDEA FOR MY FIRST HAMSTER im getting a hamster bc of u but like IM MAKING A FAIRY CAGE SO THE FAIRY COLOUR CHANGING LIGHT AND MORE ill do vids ! cant wait my mum sayed in 5 months tho!!!
Omg yayyy! That’s great I’m so happy that your getting a hamster cuz of me! They’re literally my favorite animal and they’re great. That’s a great idea too, and 5 months isn’t horrible-i had to wait over a year for Moose but it’s always worth it in the end. I promise 🫶🐹
also a vid idea if u still in high school or middle school: morning and after school routine with hamster i can never find the vids but if u do it it will help me out !
great set up for moose and he looked like he had a great time exploring . i have robo hamsters and have found a couple of them [ skylar and buddy ] do not like change ...all items must be put back in the same position in the enclosure or they appear very stressed and won't go near any area that has changed , but dart quickly back to their houses , yet my russian hamster bruno does not mind change although i always keep his house in the same position .
Thank you!! He does, a lot of times I keep his cage the same maybe add a few new enrichment items but keep it otherwise the same. If I do change the setup it’s never like I change where the basic things are, his wheel is always on the same side even if it’s a different wheel for example, and his nesting/burrowing side is the on the left side always. In the past my one Chinese hamster [Gus] hated change as well. Just depends on the hamster’s personality! But overall trying to keep placement mostly the same works best for sure :)
The funny thing is after adding more enrichment and making a better set up the cage literally looked bigger after the change of setup! Love the setup btw.
Ik right!! I kinda switch back and forth between giving him a section of eco earth and whenever I do I definitely think it adds more depth to his cage! And thank you sm awe ❤🐹🫶
hey! i love your setup just wondering where you got your water bottle i have such a hard time finding one with a flat side that’ll actually work for my hammys
Aw thanks! I found my glass water bottles at my local Petsmart by the brand “Full Cheeks” which is petsmarts brand. And they’re very nice, don’t leak, and have a flat side for my industrial Velcro to stick to and then to my bin cage. Hope this helps!💖🐹
Heyyy so basically I have a question I’m hoping you could help me with? Cuz online nobody’s able to figure it out. So basically this video doesn’t show my count of likes on the video. In order for me to be able to see them I have to click on “manage videos” and I wanna make the visibility of seeing how many likes are on the video. Cuz the rest of my videos are normal, it’s just this one…? Help 😅
@@ZoesPetitePets I think I know what you mean! When I was uploading my video in the more settings section it gave me a few options and one was to not show my likes publicly, but I can still see them but no one else can. So check through settings! Hope that helps.
Hey! Thanks sm!! Thank you for your suggestion, I gave him that bath which is smaller than my normal sized sand baths but not as small as it appears in the video. I usually rotate around different sized baths depending on if I also have other enriching substrates. Like right now he has an entire sand pit! But thank you 🥰🫶🐹
@@thuancarson7614 Well when I use bin cages for my hamsters I simply don’t allow urine to accumulate like that and stay on the plastic for a long time. Most of the times, a hamster is going to be peeing in their bedding or in a sand dish, so you can easily spot clean that. I haven’t had any issues with the plastic holding onto any smells ever.❤️
Ik right! Like I didn’t have even half of his setup in the cage, and it weighed a ton. And I was like shoot, I have to maneuver this big thing into the little space 😭😅
Thank you for posting this video! I’m considering a bin cage as well and got a lot of inspiration from your set up❤ Is that a Niteangel Multi-chamber hideout in your bin? If yes, can you share whether it’s a small or large? Thank you!🎉
No problem!! I love utilizing big bin cages myself, and I’m so glad that I could be of use for some inspo💖. It is a Niteangel Multi-chamber hideout in the enclosure and it’s the larger one because I own a large Syrian hamster! 🫶🐹
Sure I love this bin cage sm and I hope your hamster does too! Here’s where mines from :www.homedepot.com/p/Sterilite-50-Gal-Stacker-Box-14794K03/308820153
I currently own two gerbils, and i love watching these enclosure cleaning videos as i clean my gerbils enclosure! In the future i am planning on getting a roboroski dwarf! Love the setup (☆▽☆)
I love gerbils awe, and same I love listening and watching other people clean whilst I clean lol. Omg you totally should get a robo hamster in the future they’re so sweet. And thank you💖🐹
He is the cutest Hamster ever, I was so worried u were going to drop the enclosure on the floor! Good thing u did not! You did a great job, it looks sooo good!
I get my Velcro from either Home Depot or Walmart. I just look for "industrial Velcro" and usually on the package it comes in, it'll say "can hold 10+ pounds". That's how I know it should work with my water bottles!
Nope! Not unless he pees on them or soils them in any way. I usually just wipe or dust mine down. You can also utilize a finish called Plastikote so that pee doesn’t soak into nice wooden pieces and then you can easily wipe them down when peed on. I get mine on Amazon. 😊
Omg yayy! I love using oat containers and repurposing items like that for my hams! Sure, I have the niteangel 11 and 1/2 inch wheel. I’d recommend the L for sure since my hamster is pretty big and if yours is similar then definitely go for L to play it safe. Hope this helps🫶🐹
@@ZoesPetitePets I almost went through the trouble of making a paper mache tunnel when there's oat bottles in the kitchen 😅. And thanks I was thinking the size L too!
@@jazz-axy9924 Omg good thing you didn’t make them! Tho they can be fun once created they take a while. Make sure your oat container doesn’t have a metal base and is stripped to just a cardboard tunnel. Great! I’m so happy to be able to help :)
Reptile sand with no calcium, dyes, or minerals. Usually I use the bag in the reptile section of my local petstore labeled “Reptile sand Natural Desert White”
Or you can use children’s play sand that is cheaper and can be bought at Home Depot or places like that. But you do have to sift out the rocks/pebbles in it and bake the play sand to sanitize it.🥰
@@qaching actually aquarium sand isn’t usually safe. Because they can add random dyes and artificial things to make it appear pretty and usually there’s no detail to how they make it
Hi I love your video. Allow me to give some tips. You can use sphagnum moss to fill spaces on the bendy bridge, the gaps on bendy bridge can injure Hamster's feet. Happy keeping.
Thank you! Also I already do use pillow moss in all my hamsters bendy bridges because I am aware they can get toes and limbs caught in the gaps! Thank you though for the concern ❤️
So do you buy the dirt? Or you get your own? I’m so confused lmao, I don’t have a hamster currently but would love to improve care when I do get one again!
I buy my dirt; it's called Eco Earth! You can purchase it at most pet stores in the reptile isle. But what I mean in the video is that I then (after buying the big bag of Eco Earth *dry form*) sift it. To remove excess dust-which is harmful for most pets because it can cause respiratory issues, make sure it's dry, and I freeze it. I freeze most of my bulk pet items to remove mites, parasites, and bugs that can dwell in the package. So, like bedding, which I freeze to kill mites, I also freeze my eco earth. I also try to dry it out more than how it comes because of the nature of eco earth. Which is, eco earth is a high humidity substrate and hamsters don't do well in a high humidity environment. But that's great that you're seeking to improve your future hamster care :)
@@ZoesPetitePets wow okay thank you so much! I’ll really into the eco earth! I’ve been wanting to try more substrates, I already have sand which I now know is an necessity, so thank you a lot for your help!! It means so much to me 💗💗
@@ZoesPetitePets omg thank youuuuu that helps soo so much! Do you know If coco fiber is alright? I’m looking online now and it seems targeted towards hamsters, but of course not everything marketed towards them are not always right!
@@pastel.lovebirdhello! i was on the same boat as you not too long ago! there are lots of substrates you can try! coco fiber, coco chips, corn cob bedding, aspen chips, beech chips, cork chips (which you can diy with cork), and cardboard chips (also diy) i recently adopted my hamster and didn’t realize how many substrates i was able to use! my hamster likes almost all of these, but his favorite is the coco fiber! he loves to dig in it. if you live in an area where it’s summer, i recommend you wetting it just a little and watch them dig in a cool substrate. again, i was on the same boat and wish someone could’ve simplified it for me 😭
A thing I’m worried about tho is the bedding. I’m pretty sure that bedding has fragrance that is very harmful to hamster’s (Uri happens with this type of bedding). I recommend watching Scotty’s animals for healthy bedding advice!❤
Thank you for the concern! However the bedding I use for my hamsters is just plain paper bedding by Kaytee Clean and Cozy. It does not have any fragrance, and I completely understand that small animals especially hamsters shouldn’t be kept of bedding with fragrance because they’re prone to respiratory infections and it’s unnatural. Along with this make sure to avoid most wood bedding’s other than aspen, which is hamster safe 😉🫶
@@ZoesPetitePets I think they mean the bin cage. You can get ikea samla bins and people make bin cages out of them but they are more square shaped rather than rectangular.
Hello!! I usually get two bigger bags of unscented paper bedding (49 liters or bigger) and I at most use one whole bag. Hope this helps! And I’m glad that you are looking into getting this cage it’s awesome 💖🫶🐹
Actually I was looking at my bedding and I believe I get two 85 lt bags not 49. But basically I get the biggest bags or the bigger ones. And usually two so I have extra
It is the bare minimum however, if you look at my channel, you can see that since this video I’ve upgraded my hamster. To a Large Pawhut wooden Hamster enclosure. Which is over 1,000 sq inches. To be fair Moose, my hamster, and my past hamsters haven’t shown any signs of stress or negative behaviors in this size of an enclosure. It truly, in my opinion, comes down to meeting the bare minimum along with closely monitoring your personal hamster’s response relative to the environment. 💙

What kind of sand do you need for bathing the hamster

Or you can use children’s play sand that is cheaper and can be bought at Home Depot or places like that. But you do have to sift out the rocks/pebbles in it and bake the play sand to sanitize it.🥰
Aquarium sand
Can’t get any cleaner sand than that
@@qaching actually aquarium sand isn’t usually safe. Because they can add random dyes and artificial things to make it appear pretty and usually there’s no detail to how they make it
