- As always remember that if your hamster is a known chewer avoid using plastic supplies, for this particular DIY a metal container will work just as well for a chewer. It's also your responsibility as a pet owner to check all toys regularly (even if you have a non-chewer) and remove damaged or worn out toys so as to keep your pet's environment safe :)

you should make a diy cage and fill it with diy stuff only,including wheel,bedding,toys,hideout,etc,
luca ghena yes :0
Even though I suck at DIY I want to try that for mine when I get one. Except the food and water won't be diy... (maybe the water bottle but the only diy one I've seen is terrible)
That's what I'm trying to do xD
Blossom Buddies make a water bowl. Much easier
For my hamster we actually made a home made cage using a new 3 leveled portable shelf then wrapped chicken wire around the 3 sides for 2 levels made a door for the 4 side and pull wood slices on the bottom edge so that the bedding will not fall out and we shredded paper as bedding then for hide out I used a yogurt container ( I placed the container upside down with the cap on and made a hole at the edge then put some "bedding" inside and lastly for the toys I took a paper towel roll made a few holes and I took flour and water mixed them up then put the flour water mix on a popsicle sticks stuck on some sunflower seeds or other treets
Wow that was a lot 💤
That would be brilliant !!
I am planning on making a completely diy cage (bin cage, diy houses etc.) and this series is a huge help, the wheel might not be the best for me as my hamster are housed in my bedroom but the "silent" spinners aren't too silent anyway so...
I hope that you achieve your goal!
+Troll Man Derp Erin has a few videos on diy bedding and I tried to most recent one with the pillowcase and it worked great. A lot of work, but it's worth it!
I just got my hamster popcorn a few days ago and this channel has helped me so much especially with the diy stuff I've all ready made him a platform house for £1.00 with lolipop sticks!!
Ok
Yes
i thought you said you got popcorn for your hamster
i wish erin can do a diy cage theme.. where she takes ALL her diy things such as hideaways food bowls wheels diy toys etc like everything has to be diy but maybe she wont do a diy cage theme soo
good idea
with this the best way to stop it rubbing is useing 2 bolts on the gap between the stand and wheel witch gives it more spacing and it won't run then ☺
Genius!!! I love it! You are so good.
I was in a pet store awhile ago just looking around. There was a family very interested in the Robos. I told them about my sweet Robo, Clementine. They started asking me questions. With watching your channel for so long, I could answer their questions and give some good advice. I told them about your channel and they were thrilled to know that there is such a great resource for them (and all of us). Thank you so much for helping us be better parents to our babies. ☺
E
you could cut holes in the lid and make a wodent wheel ☺
Lynn Rose Music rodent?
UmbreonXSlyveon
No I beleive its spelled Wodent
UmbreonXSylveon no its called Wodent wheel
Evelyn Rose Music she said that 😊
She said that in the video
I know its an old video, but thank you for coming up with this. This is the cheapest way to provide a proper size wheel to the rescues that I'll be taking in
Love how she calls popsicle sticks “lol i sticks” lol love you.
In British-English they're called lolly sticks because they're used in ice lollies. It's Americans that call them popsicles :)
You can put anti-slip stickers meant for the bottom of your bathtub rather than the popsicle sticks. It would be much easier to use and more comfortable for the hamster too.
You guys can also keep the lid on and cut holes in it like the silent hamster spinner! It prevents your hamster from flinging off especially if you have a robo :)
Wow I would love to do this wheels are so expensive!
Exactly, i seen wooden one for 13euros! 🤯
Oh my gosh, I KNOW!! Where I live, the hamster wheels cost more than the hamsters themselves. 🤨
@@iMirandaJae same I got my hamster for $15 and his wheel was $30, 2x the amount of the hamster 🤦🏻♀️
@@ThatAnimalHouse I got a storage bin and turned it into a large cage for only $15. So the wheel will cost more than the cage! My hamsters were free
@@austinhernandez2716 yeah but where I live making a bin cage is like R$400 and buying a regular 52 gallon tank is only R$ 285 😂
DIY chew toys
Show done that
she did that already :)

Go outside get a stick and paint it
I think it is amazing how you find a way to make all those DIY's xx
Thank you! my Syrian hamster is getting huge!!! the big wheel I've seen are at least 60$... definitely gonna built this soon!
yes! now I can finally have a wheel that is not mesh ! I can also have a new wheel for my other hamster! ( a whole year without wheel because we don't have money laying around , but we do what we can for them)
Could u plz do a diy volcano where it's a small hill and then at the top there's a hole for the food to go in
Just use the moon crater diy and switch it up a bit.
+Dream Bossong good idea thank you
Clorox Bleach dude I see you everywhere it's freaking werid
Clorox Bleach
Why are you everwhere?
its not that hard to do it yourself........
wow such a creative idea
Made it to day thx it’s perfect a bit noisy but I barely sleep in my room lol
Use a soldering iron to make your holes. How I make my holes for my water bottles in the bin I just make sure not to do it too big and I've yet to have any trouble with a ham chewing through it or anything but I like to keep the water bottles on the outside that way I can access them without disturbing them
I just watched this video a few days ago and i did it and it's work thank you
What did you use for the foot grips? If that’s a food safe container normally white craft glue wouldn’t stick to it.
Possibly hot glue? Hopefully the hamster doesnt eat it
Hi
When I did this I just used animal safe glue to hold the base togeter
You can skip the stand and just make it attached to the cage
You can but most people don't use barred cages any more so the stand is useful for other cage types :)
Hi Erin, is it possible to make a DIY hamster cupcake climbing toy? Like, with sprinkles for added grip? Like if you agree!
You can use several washers or cut off a short tube of a plastic straw to provide some space between the wooden post and the plastic open wheel. A drop of mineral oil there at the bolt will help silence the open wheel.
a little tip, for the wheel,u can use hotglue to make the feet things instead of lolly sticks
You could but if your hamster is a chewer I don't suggest it.
I’m definitely makin this.
Where i live they only sell wheels NO WHERE close suitable enough for a Syrian hamster, so I'm going to make this for my hammy.
Thanks for making DIY videos. I am planing on getting a hamster but I don't want to spend a lot of money
I needed this!!!!. I bought a 20cm wheel for my golden hamster yesterday and noticed it is bit small and she def gonna grow a bit. Today i wanted to bring back to the store but sadly she chewed a piece off, so i think they wont accept it.
You can also put a washer after the plastic
THIS IS AMAZING! *Applause Applause* I love it! Jeez girl, you might as well make the hamster now. :P This is great!
Do you think can make a DIY bed for hamsters? Haha. Like a creation to look like a bed... But for a hammy.
Great vid, Erin! :D
like a bunk bed maybe??
That would be cool!
Jenna Farmer she did make a bed but I had 4 hamsters and they all loved each other and crammed in the same bed it was so cute!
Hammy Forever you
Madison M Vanillahamham has a video for that if you want
Only one thing I have to say is negative but not being mean at all the Long bolt in the back that is long that you screw a nut on it’s too long because if you put it in a cage that long bolt thing It’s going to be in the way and take up some space in your hamsters cage
The best open wheel. Made one myself attached to the plastic bin :). Thanks
"all you have to do is press a button' me; dang
XD
same diy is not my thing no matter how small I make a mess of it. 😂
The things you put on the bottom legs of chairs and other furniture to prevent scratching and noise take one of those whatever size needed and in this case put on the wood where wheel rubs and makes that noise stop I even stuck two on the wire of my cage cuz the wheel made noise against it
You could probably put a few washers between the wood, and the nut next to the bolt. I think that would make it quieter🤔
Turned out great ! I also cut out some cute wrapping paper in a circular shape to glue to the inside of the wheel for decorative purposes 😍❤️ love it !
My Hamster is chewing the popsicle sticks on teh wheel, but over all great design, can anyone please give me some advice on how to fix this
this is fantastic. great tutorial Erin!
you could probably make a saucer wheel out of the lid too if you wanted your hamster to have both
Glue some felt strips onto the wood support where the wood meets plastic to cut down the noise.
I’m going to get a hamster soon and I’m on a very low budget and my dad builds stuff so I have all the supplies I need to make these cheap crafts for my hammy 💕
why are you laughing when you say NUTS . HAHA LOVEYOU ERIN BEEN WATHING YOU SINCE DAY 1. :)
I'm sure you could stop the scraping sound if you just added another bolt where you put the first one to help it stick out a bit from the wood. 😍
That is so cool u should do a diy hamster cage theme and use the diy wheel and diy houses
I tried this and it totally works! Thanks for the video
THANK YOU SO MUCH my hedgehog just broke his wheel (yah it actually cracked because he got too big) so thank you!!
did it! I'm amazed
Neatly explained dear
Thank u for the info
to make it a bit quieter, you can put extra nuts where she put the first one to give it some more spacing between the wood and the wheel. hope this helps you all. and home your hammy doesnt start a fire with it haha.
Hi Erin, may I ask your thoughts on hamster balls? Is it healthy for the hamster or should I avoid using them?
Great DIY video. lol I hope that July never ends because I absolutely love these videos :D.
Wow thx this is awesome
What a fun craft project for me and my granddaughters!
I love your vids Erin. They've helped my hamsters so much. To make it quieter I add a lil bit of thin sticky on felt pads between the post and wheel. $dollar stores carry them in US. Even if it's a lil too thick Syrians will wear the felt down pretty easy after some time.
thanks for this video! we cannot find a hamster wheel big enough in any petshops here, only the standard 6" size wheels are sold in petshops. and if u find a big enoigh ball, its very expensive! This will help thanks!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!
My parents won't let me get a big enough wheel for a syrian so this is SO helpful
I LOVE your channel
Can you make a food bowl themed around a forest? Or just a cool food bowl please!
She made a crater one...
She has made a food bowl already x
You could just repaint her diy food bowl
I just made this ,tank you so much ❤️
Super expectacular desde Colombia gracias un abrazo
My hamster love your DIY .. TANKS YOU :)
Btw if you have a bin cage you can do the same thing on the bin and not on the wood.
This is probably the exact way they made the Carolina storm express wheel just using pvc pipe instead of the wood.
Very symple n easy for understanding, great , thank you
WOW this was very impressive! and po was loving it!♡ great job Erin😀
Hi Erin! Amazing video! So I have a question. I use aspen shavings for all 3 of my hamsters. My question is. Can I dye the bedding using safe fruits and veggies!? I know food colouring is not safe so I thought I could use fruit. Is that ok? Would they eat it?
This makes about as much sense as dying your toilet paper. You get the award for dumbest thing I've read today!
Is there anything you can use instead of wooden blocks? My mum won't let me buy a bigger wheel and my Syrian hamster and her wheel is too small so I want to make this (in secret) but I have no wood ):
CrazyDiamond Cookie is you live in America or Canada just visit micheals, they have appropriate sized wood
its so cute!
Gosh I love this Channel. Keep up the good work !
Could u make a diy mush room house? I want a fairy garden themed cage.
You should make a hamster swing out of Popsicle sticks!!
I rlly love your videos and I'm planning on watching all of them
Me too.
That is wheelie cool hahahah
Add some big washers to it for more stability.
I just really enjoy your videos! You must really love your hamsters 🥰
Once again another creative video Erin ! I applaud you for your effort and quality in your videos! Have a good day!
*just a question* is it safe to have the edges like that??
What do you mean?
Do i have to smooth the edges?
Sand*
Thanks to Erin, I now have an 11” free wheel!🐹
where did you find the tub? I cannot find a tub big enough for a hamster to save my life
@@ellenlupton6334 um the shops 😂
Looks like Potassium is a fan of it! ☺
omg this vid is so cool love it could you make something to help hamsters with chewing my hamster is a chewer. but again great vid
I loved the video
I got a robo and I would recommend anything smaller that a 8inch mine has trouble on smaller
I like how on the sponsor there are mesh wheels I know that she doesn't choose what they sell buts it's funny XD
Im definitely doing this. At petco they sell 6.5 inch wheels for $21, it’s crazy
Thanks for sharing this video Erin!!!
I bought a flying saucer wheel for my Syrian hamster that I am going to be getting, but it only said medium and it didn't have a size measurement on it. Can i measure it at home or is it to big/small?
I'm thinking about getting a hamster
Did you get one?
You could also use non toxic hot glue to create lines for your hamster to grip :)
Yes you could but Some hamster Chew on almost everything And its not Very good If they Swallow it
Totally making this! Thank you!!!
Very useful video. I'll do it for my hamsters also. Thanks.
Hey Erin I wonder if you can make a bed for a hamster since I don't know if the little guys will like that
WOW U ARE AMAZING IDK HIW U COME UP WITH THESE AMAZING IDEAS!! I love u soooo much!!
Can you please do kitten care please mine still drinks formula but when it starts eating food and I want to learn about kittens and for its care
For orphaned kitten care you should talk to your vet, as every motherless kitten has different requirements I wouldn't feel comfortable making a video on the topic since it may not apply in your situation. Your vet will help with everything you need though and can keep track of the kitten's development.
+ErinsAnimals we did take him to the vet and there was nothing wrong they just gave us a formula and thank you for replying
So creative!! I might just try this ;) And oh my goodness you are almost at 100k!! Congrats!! I hope you reach it soon!!
So cool!
Could you possibly sand down a little bit of inside of the wheel for grip?
You remind me of Emma Blackery :)
