Yes I know! I’ve really been trying to do that it’s just so hard because bedding is so expensive and I don’t have my summer job anymore 😭 I have added more bedding to the cage. Right now my Syrian has abt 8 inches and my dwarf has about 6. I am trying to improve though!!! Thank you ❤️😭
Actually I have 10 inches in this video!!! Right now I’m back down to 8 tho because I had to clean the cage and I didn’t have as much as I had last time I cleaned the cage ❤
Hey the toilet paper trick is awesome! I had a hamster decades ago and I didn't do anything special for him to like me: he was living in his cage and it was me who took him out of there everyday and let him freeroam in my room. The first times I tried to pick him up to take him out of the cage he ran away from me and into his nest house, but after a short time it was the opposite: everytime I showed up he would come out because he associated me not with food or treats but with getting out of his cage.
Yeah some hamsters are like that! My Syrian hamster loves coming out of the cage but my dwarf hamster doesn’t as much and associates me more with food 😅😁
@@HaileysSmallPetChannel hmm, I guess if your dwarf doesn't like to get out of the cage so much it's because you have it in a big and well enriched one. I had my hamster in the 1990s, when I still didn't have internet access and in general there wasn't as much info as there's today, so I had my hamster in a cage that by today's standards would be considered small. Also I was still a kid, so I was so naive that I thought a cage from a pet store had to be good. But all of this leads me to a question: if your hamster lives in a small cage it will have a bigger desire to be taken out of it and if you are the person who does that the hamster will want you. However if you put your hamster in a big and enriched cage it will have less of an incentive to be taken out of there, and therefore you won't have such a big ability to give the hamster something it wants. In a nutshell: to tame a hamster a small cage might be better because the hamster will see you as the "hero" that takes it out of there. Maybe once the hamster already trusts and loves you can you move it to a bigger and better enclosure.
Well a lot of hamsters can become cage territorial if there in a small cage and get defensive, such as my hamster when I first got him. As soon as I upgraded his enclosure he stopped biting and being as scared of me. I think it’s important to give your hamster a good setup in the beginning because some hamsters simply won’t like interacting with humans like Ghost hamsters. I think giving your hamster a proper sized enclosure is the first step (if you know the information at first that is) if you learn it later on in your hamsters life it’s never to late to change and improve your hamsters life!
