Cleaning My Dwarf Hamster Cage | June 2017

[@SomethingAnimal]

One thing I forgot to mention in the video is how frequently I clean the Billy XL cage. I don't have a set schedule for my cages as the length of time they stay clean depends on several different factors (e.g. substrate, temperature, hamster current diet...). The shortest time my cages remain clean for is 4 weeks but sometimes they can last as long as 8 weeks. Spot cleaning, toy cleaning and "substrate shuffling" are all important factors to help keep a cage cleaner for longer as well as good ventilation. The larger a cage and the more substrate you use the less often it will need to be cleaned which is better for your hamster :)

ErinsAnimals hi

[@ashleybabii5833]

ErinsAnimals hey can I ask how can I take care of a new hamster I've never had one before and I need some help on how to take care of it. xoxo

[@darkmatter1018]

its already 2 months since i bought my hamster. she still bites me. i clean her cage once every 3 weeks:)))

[@taylorjames2160]

Emily Rodriguez that's completely incorrect. It really depends on how big your cage is. A bin cage is about every 3 to 4 weeks. A tank is about 3-6 weeks

[@libbythesavage4842]

I enjoyed this vlog style of video a lot, and of course it's always fun watching cage cleaning timelapses too! :) The finished setup looks beautiful and it's so nice of you to incorporate all of those different types of substrates. I love, love, love the wooden divider with the tunnel for sectioning off the different areas. Potassium will definitely enjoy that theme!

I have always used a vacuum for my hamsters cage. I’ve always been afraid of stressing her out so I have my mom watch her in a different room (less noisy). I’m glad I saw you do it so that I know it’s ok to do.

[@SomethingAnimal]

Putting them in a different room is definitely a good idea when it's possible, I would just say to just keep doing what you're doing as it's better for the hamster to be away from louder noises :)

[@earthyy2624]

Hi Erinsanimals my hamsters poo is bigger and softer than usual after giving him some fruits like strawberries and carrots is it because he has wet tail or if he has a doet change?

[@ellabougher3226]

Team Egginators - Roblox & More! If he has wet tail he would be having diarrhea and would be extremely lethargic and just look like a sick hamster. If you think he may be sick I would consult a veterinarian ;)

[@ShadowTheRat]

It sounds like you're giving him too much fruit and veggies too fast. Hamsters and other animals need time to adjust to diet changes. Try giving your hammie just a pawful of 1 veggie/fruit. Watch him for signs of soft poop, and if he has any, reduce the amount. After you've gone a day or so without any soft poo, you can add in a different veggie, or a bit more of the same one. This way, you know what upsets your hamsters stomach, and you're gradually building his tolerance fore wet foods. I've gone through this process with hamsters, gerbils, and rats, and every animal has needed to start with a lower amount of fresh food, and gradually worked there way up to more of it.

[@kabe_05]

Try and only give your hamster 1 little piece of fruit/veg a week/2 weeks

[@klaudia711]

I love the natural set up, my gerbils would love something like this!

[@teresastrata4345]

That cage is so lovely! I'm just wondering, is she not able to break out? I think my hamster would easily find some way out there since there's no roof

[@SomethingAnimal]

It does have a lid, you can see it right at the beginning of the video :)

[@jadeamy4384]

I’m just letting you know that you should have at least 6inches (15cm) of bedding to allow them to burrow

[@CactusBerto]

Jade Leonard I’m just gonna let you know that this video is 2yrs old and she does add more substrate in her more recent videos. The in this old version of the cage it was harder to add more bedding since the lid flat and the sides were small, but the issues have been fixed.

[@ava_a313]

I'm pretty sure she had way well over 6 inches, but they can't even burrow in that stuff like she said.

[@emotionalpotato8482]

Therese Rustad ok thank you!

[@ellabougher3226]

emotional potato yup, it is a very good idea to have multiple hideouts. Hamsters most usually get nervous and don't like to come out very often if they feel that they don't have any shelter to go to/hide in.

[@edekosik5040]

Hey, I wanted to help you with #2, I got my dwarf hamster about 8 months ago, I take him out and play with him every night but I always either let him free range or find a way to cover my hands with my sleeve or something 😂 I decided I would not be scared to hold him so I slowly have started to put my hand in the tank and let him come to me. He hasn't bitten me at all! Now I am comfortable with holding him inside his cage! I would recommend just starting gradually!

[@sydneytaylor8128]

How hot does it get where you live? If it exceeds triple digits in a regular basis I wouldn't reccomend it. If your hamster doesn't seem uncomfortable with the CareFresh, and you provide cool rocks, mugs and sand baths and it doesn't get very hot it should be fine. If not, I could reccomend something like aspen or beech chips.

I've been spot-cleaning his bin cage but I think it's time to do a full cleaning and maybe a little rearranging of his huts, the sand bath, toys, chews, etc... I haven't done it yet because I noticed he's been making several tunnels/burrows and also he has a stash of seeds in one of his huts and I'm not sure if I should remove his stash and if he's going to be upset when he finds his burrows gone when I clean the cage.

Just want to ask two things: I've always heard that wooden pellets are uncomfortable on the little feet and that it is only supposed to be for lining the bottom of the habby underneath the bedding substrate. Is this not true? Secondly, we've always been told to bake all sand to dry and/or sanatise it. Do you leave yours damp just because of the heat and is it OK to not sanatise?

Great video! but i have silly question.

[@brookielookie]

The names... How do you make a divider for a smaller cage? It's a brilliant idea.

[@Little_Bird_Chihuahuas]

My one question is in the digging area....as he is burrowing around wouldn't the box just slowly shift down? The reason I ask is because my hamster ends up burrowing under all her toys and they slowing sink down to the bottom of the cage. I guess you just have to pull it up every once in a while...I wouldn't want a smashed hamster though.
