DIY Mushroom Hamster House | No Tools, Budget Friendly!

[@missykim510]

You're so much fun 😂 Thank you for making the mushroom look less phallic. I was nervous for a moment or two there. Plot-less Hamster Story: Once upon a time, I took in two female WW dwarf hams. I was so excited! Sweet little girl hams

[@SomethingAnimal]

That is the *best* naming system for hamster I have ever heard, 10/10 love it! 😂

[@natalieharding5463]

Hahahahah as soon as I knew you were making a mushroom then saw the “oh no” time stamp… 😂

[@laikaaardwolf3177]

The moment you said you were making it pink I was concerned... mushrooms and... other... things... look distressingly similar

[@SomethingAnimal]

I really didn't think carefully enough on that colour choice 😂

[@Dannielle23s]

The funniest part is in the beginning they said I have to get the shape right or it could look like something else…. And then proceed to pull out pink tissue 😅

[@jluke1083]

I'm pretty sure my daughter and I laughed most of the way through this video! 😆 She kept telling me how funny you are, while I laughed hysterically at comments such as "not that gesture" and "what am I looking for, and where is it?" 🤣🤣🤣 dying over here rewatching this!!

[@judevicious3333]

I don't understand how you come up with the genius things that you say 😆 I adore your humor and just you as a person 🥰

[@girlski342]

Who calls you annoying? 😡 I love the energy you give off. I love your videos and how you are in them. ☺️

[@en2p187]

Annoying??? In what 🌎?? Annoying!?!?!

[@itssamiievi]

this was such a rollercoaster hahah but turned out so great! i'm currently on a mushroom spree in terms of hamster decor so this couldn't have come at a better time. might give this a try when i try to make a cardboard mushroom hidey too. thank you for a cool diy idea 💙

[@oasta5182]

the way i grinned when you brought out the pink tissue 😂 it turned out so cute though!! adorable idea and wonderful execution

[@toccabrigitte2684]

Wow. That's one lucky hamster getting custom made bits and bobs for their habitat. Ain't no other cage out there like that. It's an original. That's one special fluff ball.

[@SomethingAnimal]

Thank you! 😊

[@animalsbycourtney2175]

All three of my hamsters passed this year, but your general humor has helped fill the empty hammy part of my life for now, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that

Ollie I’m so proud of you for chain g your channel name and your name publicly!! You haven’t fully announced your trans but as a trans guy myself I’ve always kinda sensed it 😭 it’s so inspiring because I’ve always been worried about wanting to be a pet KZbinr while also being trans.. I thought no one would watch my videos but you really show that it dosent matter if your part of the lgbt you can still make videos that aren’t about that. So thanks !!

[@pennypaton3079]

Oh my god you're brilliant. It's so good to see you here, I've missed your videos and your comedy pieces. The whimsical mushroom 🍄 is soooo cute. Well done... I'm glad it turned out in the end, it could have gone horribly wrong with that other "shape" and then we all would have missed out on the finished product... Love your work, take care and stay safe you beautiful human ❤️🍄😍🥰

[@CalvinOriginal]

that was an amazing rollercoaster of emotions - i laughed too much when you were trying to explain you had to try recolouring the 'shroom! i enjoyed an appreciated, how you made light of a possible problem! what a great way to start my weekend. always enjoy your videos. have a great week, and we shall hopefully see you back real soon.

[@jennyinabottlem.6883]

I seriously love all of your DIY's! I want to make this for our little Twinkie this weekend. Do you have instructions for making the red paint with food dye?

Omg I am in love with the shroom

[@rosemarieurwin2578]

coincedence or deliberate ....mmmm ! first sherbet lemons on the shelf in the lemon fruit food dish video and now a soup mug featuring a mushroom design in the diy mushroom video .

[@SomethingAnimal]

Haha the sherbet lemons were an accident, but I won't lie the mushroom mug was completely intentional 😁

[@asdadigestives]

ITS ADORABLE!

[@erikareyes8122]

Found your channel and I love it. I’ve also fallen in love with the little fishy hope we see more of him ❤ now I want a fake fishy

Ok, that is freaking adorable and I want to make these just as decor for myself! Thank you for the tutorial! Also, you are hilarious and now I know to make sure the shape is correct and not.... 🍆. 🤣

[@sidmelucci3675]

Cute! I always get a kick out of your videos.

[@stormehowl]

Hilarious there for a bit. Turned out amazing in the end!

[@corysimpson8899]

It's so so cute, hilariously phallic for sure but there are a ton of mushrooms out there that ARE phallic and named as such

[@elianwolfert3879]

Why are you so hilarious? And wholesome. You make me feel it in my bones that we're all just winging this thing called adult life.

[@elianwolfert3879]

When you started talking about the pink, uh... mushroom cap. I lost it. Laughed like a maniac before you could finish the sentence.

[@xtashnpetsx]

Amazing diy and it looks awesome too 👏🏻👏🏻

[@yumyum215]

I've never laughed so hard at something I didn't actually see! 😂🤣🤣🤣

[@SomethingAnimal]

It was definitely uhh... impressive? lmao! 😂😂

[@ladyblakeney]

Definitely thought that was coffee or tea in the mug and I was like NOOOOO NOT INTO THE GLUE, OLLIE!!!!!

There are pink mushrooms, they are called Wrinkled Peach Mushrooms.

[@SomethingAnimal]

[@taritheninjafox]

@@SomethingAnimal Fair. Also love your vids, watching your content has made me want to get a rodent friend so bad but it's out of our means rn and we don't have an ikea nearby. I live vicariously through your hammy vids.

[@Swissgreys]

Honestly I would probably watch your videos even if I didin't have any small pets - you are just hilarious and I love how you can laugh at yourself too. I also wanted to say I think your merch is fabulous (the potty mouth hamster mug has been on my wish list forever). Do you have any plans to get a European supplier - the postage costs are so horrendous I can't bring myself to pay as much as the item again just to have it shipped :-(

[@SomethingAnimal]

Aww thank you! 😊 If you scroll to the very bottom of the shop, in the bottom right corner (on desktop) there is an option to change shipping regions from US to EU. Not every single item is available from the eu store for whatever reason (it's all through teespring so I guess their US supplier is just better stocked) but I'm pretty sure the mugs can be shipped from the eu store and at a more reasonable price! :)

[@Swissgreys]

@@SomethingAnimal thanks so much. I feel a bit stupid that I didn't work that out on my own, but I just ordered the mug, and also added a t-shirt too. Your merch (like you) is fabulous. It is a beautiful day indeed when you discover someone who has the same sense of humour as you 🙂

[@sandgale]

You are not annoying, I mean other wise why would I be here if I'm not a diy-er nor hamster owner, if not because you are awesome and fun 😂

[@toriwolf_92]

That was hilarious and I was hoping to see at least a picture of the...inappropriate hide on insta or something lmao. Btw I wore my hamster shirt today (all the different species lined up) at the pet store and vet and got lots of compliments!

[@SomethingAnimal]

Oh instagram would have banned me so quickly 😂 and yay! That's one of my favourite designs it's so nice to hear other people love it too! 😊

[@toriwolf_92]

@@SomethingAnimal that bad, huh? Lmao 🤣 I absolutely love it, please don't ever take it off the shop because when this one is all full of holes and you can barely see the design, I'm gonna need to buy another 😉

[@Morphwastaken]

Fun fact: you don’t need glue or flour For years I have just dipped toilet paper in water and put it around a ballon with one hamster sized entrance and they love shredding it up!

[@SomethingAnimal]

I've tried plain water in the past to make treat balls (same method as you, putting it around a balloon and cutting a hole), and it works great for those simple designs but personally I found it doesn't hold up as well for detailed designs or bigger builds. You can make some really cute basic huts and things that way though 😊

[@creepymouth2709]

Hi where do u get ir small pets from? Adoption or pet store? No such things like small pet adoption in my country sadly

[@SomethingAnimal]

We're in a similar situation, adoption only exists for dogs and cats and it you want to adopt anything else you have to personally know someone who it trying to rehome that exact animal, which almost never happens 😣 We also don't have any large chain pet stores here though and rodents are very unpopular pets, which means we don't have rodent mills like many large western countries have. All of our pet shops are little privately owned places and most of them breed their own "stock" of hamsters and mice, so I just avoid buying animals from the ones who keep them in poor conditions and I only support the shops who are taking decent care of their small animals and aren't overbreeding them. I'm happy to give my money to people who are actually trying to treat their animals well, and it means that I'm less likely to get a pet with serious medical problems. The only advice I can really give is to explore as many small pet shops as you can and try to find one that you are comfortable with, that keeps their animals in clean, healthy conditions and that seems to actually care about their work. If you're okay with talking to people you can also ask the owner/workers about exactly where they get their animals and how they care for them. Be wary if they just say they get their animals from "a breeder" and refuse to specify who that breeder is, that's often a red flag for a breeding mill.

[@creepymouth2709]

@@SomethingAnimal tysm I'm looking for a place to get a dormouse from and I'm struggling to find a decent breeder. Most "pet stores" in my country keep guinea pigs and iguanas in bird cages. Turtles are kept in tubs of water and hamsters in plastic cases with overstuffed and cramped conditions. Made the mistake of buying a hamster from a store like that

[@khills]

*snicker* Oh, I saw where this was going the minute you pulled out the pink serviettes. At least in the end your goal was an amanita muscaria. For a panicked moment, I thought - based on the base shape - you might be going for a a kind of stinkhorn, which. *snicker*

[@SomethingAnimal]

I just googled the stinkhorn and omfg 💀

[@christinejones7721]

Hmm how weird, YT hadn't brought up the moss video for me in my feed. Perhaps it's the same for other people, both videos are sitting at 4.9k views even though this video only came out yesterday!

[@willbrooker464]

i’m confused wouldn’t the balloon deflate over time? Then it would just collapse.

[@willbrooker464]

wait…i’m actually dumb 😭

[@elizabethkeen7851]

Was the soup eating at midnight or was it a different day? This is important information😂

[@SomethingAnimal]

I had to go check the time stamps of the footage because soup at midnight definitely sounds like me 😂 but it was a different night and at a much more reasonable 9pm 😌

[@katiebequette6049]

What kindo soup is that? 👀
