How to PROPERLY Set up a Hamster cage

[@VictoriaRaechel]

I've gotten a few questions on how you clean a cage like this, well I also have a video on that here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHfIoWSArsiXjKM

[@flaminleopardg4939]

Exactly the kind of video I was looking for, thank you so much for making it! ❤

[@Y2KkAiKo]

Can you do a video explaining a robo cage? Ive seen a lot of videos of robos with a loooooot of sand, is that apropiate?

[@calinkim8742]

@@Y2KkAiKoI’m hoping you got the answer you were looking for, but she mentions at around 2:25 that Robos need more sand due to their habitat in nature. I’ve seen people advocate for up to 50% sand for robos.

[@Lani4life]

I like how Victoria used to advocate for bigger is better, but now she advocates for “ the enrichment, the better”. Which is so important(no i’m not saying to have a small cage!)

[@imle9279]

Exactly, doesn't matter how big the enclosure is, if there's no enrichment! Enrichment is so important, and a proper size will be able to fit it all

[@rosepoppy544]

I have a cage with 1,500 sq inches, and my hamster always wanted more enrichment and stimulation. So yes, I had to move around her toys to keep her busy. I also had to frequently give her herbs and sprays to forage, and she was still stubborn about having new toys! She was such a greedy little ham. I loved her so much.

[@Yeewen88]

​@@rosepoppy544 did you make it

[@shreeraaman1667]

Maybe you should consider entertaining your hamster 🐹 by giving him/her live prey to hunt such as insects 🐜 or small lizards 🦎

[@Chloe-jt4yb]

@@shreeraaman1667no that’s a horrible idea! Lizards can bite a hamster and harm them, and insects maybe but certain insects can bite your hamster.

[@KoriSt4r]

Im so so glad that people talk about this stuff. Its very important that hamsters get their proper nutrients! ❤

[@XShiro_X]

yeppp!

[@jeffparkhurst8607]

Tip of for Noobies: Don't forget the lid she shows on the beginning. Hamsters have poor depth perception and may try to climb out of enclosures. Without the lid on, they could end up hurting themselves especially if there's things inside to help them scale the walls of the enclosure.

[@anabellepuddephatt6418]

I just wanted to say that your videos have helped me so much. When I first got my hamster he was living in a tiny full cheeks cage, but after I little bit of time I went on KZbin and found you. I got a new bin cage with 475 square inches of floor space. I got a new big wheel, more beding, and much more. My dad is still not convinced and says that hamsters don’t need all that stuff and it makes me so sad when he says that. ❤

It definitely can be hard sometimes but it just takes time trying to figure out how to set it up!

[@MovieMich]

We did it! After 2 weeks our little Marble is finally in a natural enrichment enclosure! I knew something was off when he kept nipping at his "2 floor cage" which you talked about before! We have gone detolf off marketplace, and its lovely to see how many detolf enclosures are posted in my city! It took me another 5 days to get more bedding and sprays, it was so fun to give him a "smell preview"... and he happily crawled right in to explore. Amazing to see how far a "pressed" 82L bag goes!!! Thank you, your channel is one of our favorites!

I just found your channel over the weekend after I bought a hamster from Petco (with a cage) 😖 I legit had no idea how bad it was.

Great reminders. Two of my Syrians passed away in January and then March, so I am now ready for new occupants for my enclosures. I hope to adopt two dwarfs from a rescue this coming week, so I need to finish wiping down the enclosures and set them up again. As much as I enjoy my current Syrian's antics, I have become accustomed to having more than one hamster since they seem to take turns being out versus doing their thing underground.

My hamster passed away today and eventho I feel bad for not crying as much as I did when my first one did, I'm glad she doesn't have to be in pain anymore. I didn't have enough money to treat her at the moment and I regret not saving enough money for her. I got them as birthday presents (sounds wrong because they're not inanimate objects, they were living beings) and I wasn't a good parent to them. I'm watching your videos to cope and to teach myself more so I can be a better parent if I ever want to take in a hamster again in the future

I've been watching a lot of your videos lately in preparation for getting my first hamster. Having a cat or dog isn't an option for me right now so I kind of had the initial reaction of "well, that sucks, that's all the good pet options gone!" Till I saw my friend who really loves hamsters and put a lot of research into them before getting theirs, and thought it might be the right idea for me! I've got a list of lots of things I'll want to get (regularly updating as I get ideas from your videos + my friend). I'm excited to start saving up for one

Since I was having problems finding sand without additives at my local stores, I found another alternative: walnut sand (made from walnut shells--I use Zilla brand). All my dwarves have enjoyed digging and rolling in it as well as using it as a litter box. No dust, either! When first introduced, they will nibble a few pieces, but quickly discover it's not as tasty as it smells. Compostable as well.

[@VictoriaRaechel]

Hm I feel like I had heard something about crushed walnuts not being safe for the skin as well as not being able to remove oil the same way sand does.

Love this, very detailed explanation. I should reconstruct my cage too 😊

[@ElohiSilverEarthVentures]

Is 10 inches of burrow substrates too much or whats the best for a Djungarian dwarf hamster? I have a bunch of different substrates, ive seen some separate the substrates and mix but which way will be easiest for spot cleaning? Also for my dwarf hamster, i have i think an 11 inch nigel wheel...i think its too big tho. You state that bigger the better but im not sure cus hes tiny and the nigel wheel i got is so big when he runs his little legs are kind of sprawled back behind him, almost dragging and is it normal for them to run so fast that when they do stop theyre butt sorta flops over on top of them? Its hilarious watching, and hope thats not like something not good hes doing. Im guessing hes just not totally used to running on the wheel yet. Weve had him for about a week and a half now. The first week he was home he was doing this weird frantic burrowing dig but doing it on top of his platform where there isnt any bedding or substrate...it made me worry i didnt have enough substrate so i did add more but now his cage, aquarium is like mostly all substrates...is that ok and was what he was doing normal or something i should worry about? Then my next question is oak wood safe? I have a bunch of oak sticks and i did do the oven for a half hour on 420 degrees...and was thinking ide sand them down so theyre more smooth but would it be better for them to have the natural texture on them for his littke feet to grip on to the sticks climbing? Ide made a bin cage first night we got him... that was 32 by 20 × 17 h and knew thay was too small but was just bette than the horriable tiny kritter cage my sons Dad had brought him home in first day. He had no clue what he was doing and didn't even tell me he was getting a hamster, not cool to do to anyone let alone a busy low income single working Mom...but i stayed up all night researching everything i could about dwarf hamsters...literally all night, and havent really stopped since the first night i got him. But thank God, i found your videos Victoria, you have been my favorite hamster info videos and now your my go to place for info i need about hamsters. I went through nearly every video youve posted about hamsters, almost,lol, youve got a lot. Not too big in the "reacts" videos those i tend to skip, sorry no offense but im just looking for your info on the details of how to provide best habitat and care for hamsters snd maybe when i get that down ill be more into the other fun stuff you post. Youll be happy to know that today we just got a 40 breeder size aquarium that i totally cant even move by myself its so big..and got the new huge nigel wheel, a huge sand bath, an awsome new sand for it and aspen wood substrate, and coconut fibers. But im still trying to figure out some good DIY hideouts and bridges and chew toys i can make hopefully with the oak i have already and put into his habitat thatll be safe for him. I just have two giant oak trees in my yard and i have always some reason collected saved and dried out all the sticks and branches that have fallen off from it during last 5 years of storm's and wind so i have huge piles of all these wood sticks that look like alot of the wood other people buy for theyre hamster cage but i just dont know if oak is safe...like i said i put a bunch of the sticks in oven and did that, but would it be ok for me to start cutting them down and making hidouts and bridges out of them for my dwarf hamster?

Just have a question for you. Our little girl seems to be not enjoying her enclosure, she's got everything and more that she needs but she still seems to always want out at all times. I've had this enclosure set up like this for almost 2 months now and I'm just not sure. What she currently has; -984 Sq enclosure ( unbroken surface) - 11.4 inch wood wheel ( corked lining) - Fresh sprays -9 inch deep bedding ( she sleeps under ground) - hides - sand bath/ toilet - sand play area/ toilet lol -chew toys - seeds are spread for foraging - boredom breakers - perches -water -fresh veggies - treats ( here and there) I know changing their setup can be stressful and I always attempt to avoid this. I always spot clean every couple of days, clean sand, just not sure what to do here.
