How to Set up a Hamster Cage on a BUDGET 💸

[@swift_chicken2301]

I just got a hamster today!! Her name is magnolia and she’s a Syrian. She is super duper cute! I built her the diy 1152 square inch enclosure with 10 inches of bedding, a sand bath, cork granule, aspen shavings, cork log, grapevine wood, 11.6 inch niteangel wheel, multi chamber hide, sprays, herbs and flowers, etc. thank you so so much for teaching me how to care for a hamster ❤❤

[@everythingwitholivia6777]

That is an awesome set up!

[@NandigamS]

You have a long and beautiful journey with your hamster. Lot is to come.

Omg she’s gonna be the happiest little hammy

[@Weaklywooksoffun]

Mine is Syrian too

[@KimLadouceur]

We recently adopted a cream long haired Syrian female we named Muffin. She is nearly 4 months old & we just love her. I really appreciate how helpful your videos are. I have owned a few hamsters & feel bad for how bored they were, with my first female even peeing through the bars of her tiny, round cage! Muffin doesn't care for boredom breakers, but she loves to burrow & tunnels in her bedding ever since we added almost 8 inches. My kids say I spoil her, but I think I'm making up for years of not knowing any better. Blondie, Rio & Ruby deserved better, so I'm showing that love to Muffin 💕

My hammy passed the other night, after over 2.5 years with me he went to rest peacefully,(a littleeeeee chonky) and very loved, this is all thanks to your videos he lived a happy and healthy life. he originally came from a pet smart (i was not informed on their animal mistreatment then) he had his ups and downs especially when he got out for two days! and i couldn’t find him and i was horrified of the fact i have 4 cats right outside my bedroom door, i found him and i also found that he ate a lotttt of pizza crust that was under my bed, that was the start of his diet lol. he brought me so many laughs and happy tears, there were times where i couldn’t believe this little guy was real, he was an all white syrian with grey ears. moral of the story is, you victoria completely changed and helped me learn and grow with my pet care and for that i deeply thank you.❤ Rest in peace my little Gus Gus

[@marksmithro5048]

@nevaeh006 sorry to hear about your hamster passing away last night. Hamsters can bring joy and happiness with their cuteness.

[@smartwalrus1957]

Mine got out too once, anywhere from 2 hours to 2 days. She luckily found her food bag stashed in my closet and chewed a hole through it, and slept inside a rolled up poster on the floor.

Mine passed two days ago. Haven’t got over it. Josh was a syrian hamster and lived to be three years and three months. He’s in a better place now. I also want to thank Victoria for the help.

[@cookiechan7641]

I just got a mouse from my sisters job (she's domestic) and they don't sell mice so they wanted to find a trusted home, which happened to be me. So I took her in and since we aren't well off, I have her in a small 10 gallon which was a fair upgrade from her critter trail tank. She's a lot happier in the 10 gal, but not happy enough. Tomorrow I'm picking up a 40 gallon tank for my leopard gecko, so my new mouse can have a 20 gal long. It's the best I can do and I'm very excited to upgrade her! I'm using this guide to make her new tank amazing! Thank you!

[@junelondon1703]

That´s great! ^^ Mice are also very social animals. Maybe he/she could get some friends (from the same sex). ^^

[@kellytrindles984]

Mice are very social animals that depressed alone you need to get her some female friends

My hamster very sadly passed a week ago today and I just wanted to say how great full I am for you Victoria and how much you taught me on how to care for my hamster, which made me give my hamster the best life I possibly could, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to gave that to her.

Thank you Victoria, I have two hamsters now and they are living in big enclosures with a lot of enrichment thanks to you. ☺️ I have a robo dwarf called popcorn and a Campbell’s dwarf called buttons 🐹💞 Dipper is so cute 🥺

[@isabeljayakumar9368]

I had a hamster that sadly passed away in may, i always watched your videos and thanks to you she had the best life possible. I started off with a little plastic cage from the pet store and they also gave us cotton fluff and said it was safe, after watching your video i ran to her cage and got rid off all the fluff she loved a long and happy life and i made so many toys from your videos. Thank you so much victoria

[@DefoAmani]

I used to watch you back when I kept hamsters (rip, caramel, aspen, and asali) but now I’m watching these again cause I’m thinking of getting mice and need more accessories but am so happy I found you back then cause now I don’t need to buy a bigger cage and other stuff cause I already bought them ❤️

[@jdstilson]

The enrichment items you designed are wonderful, that's not easy to come up with new enrichment items, and you had several I've never seen before! Also I loved the low cost and functionality, they checked all the right boxes, that's freaking amazing!

[@laxgoalie1177]

For some reason Victoria always knows what to post at the right time! Perfect video to watch while I make homemade hamster nesting material (paper, toilet paper, and cardboard shredded)

[@TheHamsterRoom]

Amazing video as usual!! It was definitely worth the wait for this video, and I'm sorry you had problems when saving the video! It's super important to realise that you don't have to spend £50 on a multi chamber hide when you can make one for free! This video will definitely help so many people save some money!❤🐹

ALWAYS LOVE YOUR EDUCATIONAL, LOGICAL HAMSTER KNOWLEDGE!!! 🥰😍❤

[@Fan-qn4db]

I like using mug cups and putting them in their sandbaths/dig boxes. They help cool your hamster down during the summer and are very cheap! You can also use them to pick your hamster up to tame them.

[@awesomefromallsides]

Thank you so so much for these videos!!! We discovered a Syrian hamster had burrowed under our front porch last week. I had rats in my teens, but I had never had a hamster. I started watching your videos to figure out how to keep him safe and happy while I figured out what to do with him. I posted my number in the neighborhood that I had found him.. but nobody has claimed him. Initially I had planned to take him to the local animal rescue, however I started to worry that he wouldn't get the best care if he were adopted because your videos showed me just how much care hamsters need. So I now have a black Syrian hamster with a very large habitat full of safe and enriching toys and plenty of places to hide and burrow!

[@VictoriaRaechel]

I'm so happy to hear my videos have been able to help especially in your case with the hamster you've found, I'm sure they're so happy now!

[@Afforest_Shorts]

My hamster gets so bored very quickly because he is a VERY adventurous hamster 😭 so this will be useful you are a life saver I just want him to be happy also Juni looks just like Bumble. ❤

[@olga0297]

THANK YOU so much!!! I've just bought a big cage and I realised I dont need to spend tons of money with those accessories but at the same time give enrichment to my hamster

[@gokhan4461]

This is like the ultimate hamster cage on a budget video... I wish I had this when I first started setting up my hamster's cage lol. I was on a tight budget when I got my first hamster. For the cage, I tried to find some cabinet but they were either too small or too expensive, so I bought a children's study desk that also had shelves and a storage cabinet. It was even cheaper than those tiny hamster cages. I flipped the desk, the sides were already covered and I used the shelves to cover half of back and front, stapled some mesh wire over the other halves. I also used the parts left and some more mesh wire to make a lid. I even painted the cage to match my furniture (only the outside of it). It turned out pretty decent, and the whole thing was under 50 bucks in USD. In my country owning a hamster is not that common, so finding hamster products is a bit hard, and when you do find them they're a bit expensive. (There are around 20 petshops in my area and the last time I checked only 1 of them was selling hamster food...). But bird accessories and hideouts are super easy to find and super cheap! And a lot of them are basically the same with the hamster stuff. So I don't know if that applies to anywhere else in the world, but if in your country hamsters are not that common but birds are, make sure to check out the bird supplies 😄😄 For the platforms, I use "stackable kitchen storage shelves" and file holders, both are made out of natural wood, they are super cheap and they don't require any extra work to be used in the cage. And I use a lot of bendy bridges I made out of paper straws and some thick wire. I saw that one on youtube I think. It's 2 am so I apologize for the broken English 😄😄

[@rcar16]

I love this! Hamsters aren't that hard to please you just have to think about what they actually like and not what the pet store tells you they like. ❤ my bunny always appreciated any kind of cardboard to chew on too.

[@panicxitsxbrea]

thank you so much for your videos 😊 our first hamster went from a crittertrail to a 2x2x4' enclosure with more textures, scattered seed mix and enrichment thanks to you, and after some saving up our second (and current) hamster has a dozen different kinds of sprays and a bunch of different substrates too

[@mord5303]

One thing i use is paper bags from the store, I put some seed mix in the middle and then just crumple the paper around it. Makes a pretty good ball they have to chew through to find the treats

[@BBsBeasties]

This video was so helpful! I think a lot of people will appreciate these DIYs.

Thank you for macking my hamsters life better

[@MyCuteHamster00]

You are absolutely right! With a bit of creativity and almost zero money people can make a rich and engaging setups for their hamsters. We all have easy access to cardboard and safe glue is super cheap. However, a common answer I get is ''why bother when the hamster is going to destroy it''. Who cares if they destroy it! They are having fun while doing it, they have something to do in stead of being bored. When it comes to cereal boxes and other boxes that have dye on them, I personally prefer not to use them because I don't want my ham to ingest the dye.

[@kimjones2023]

thank u for doing video's like this. i just watch this yesterday and i made one of the things you showed. it was the one were you take a box and put toilet paper tubs and cut them and glue them in a box. i made this for my little guy mystic and he absolutely loves it. thanks to your videos i have learn so much that i did not know .i have had dwarf hamsters in the past and i did all the things i thought was right until i saw your videos .now i know the do and do not.

[@ijustfelloutthewindow]

im getting a hamster very soon and my dad said i have to look on amazon to see how much money it would cost so i can save up that much, and a little extra for vet visits. but this may narrow it down to just 115 dollars or so! thanks victoria! i have been watching your channrl for years!

Tysm, I just bought Topokki and before having her I had a hamster named spots but he died so I gave all my supplies to a friend with a hamster as well. When I got Topokki I was worried I would have to but all the supplies again which was really expensive for me considering I’m still in junior year. Watching this video helped me create supplies for my new hamster for cheap.❤❤❤❤❤

Hey, first time viewer here. I went down a rabbit hole (or maybe a hamster hole?) watching videos related to hamsters and their care. I saw your channel recommended _by name,_ and I was curious, so I watched this. It really gave me confidence in you to see such a rich enclosure that you built for a lil fella, all while you own a bunny and two cats! I'm glad your hamsters are in environments where they're safe from cats' wily instincts. When my mom and I were between houses, we stayed with friends who had a pat rabbit and a new Robo dwarf hamster. My cats, who they graciously let us keep with us the whole stay, regarded the bunny with mere intrigue and a bit of confusion, but I think because she was close in size to them meant to them she was just a weird cat. I saw my SAINT of a cat, Nemo (who was the most polite, well-behaved cat I've EVER met), got this mad twinkle in his eye when he spotted that little hamster in his cage. I brought it up to our friends (their son kept the hammy and rabbit in his room), and they were fine with keeping the hamster and his small enclosure outside of that room (the cats were shut in there). So glad you're a DILIGENT pet owner! Thanks for making videos like these educating people!

[@VictoriaRaechel]

i love all these ideas im gonna have to try some out. those tealight candle holders are great water dishes. i wanted to use them but i had a slightly larger glass dish i would use for my syrian hamster but she always found ways to tip it and flood her bedding so i decided to use the plastic food dish i had from my Pets At Home cage and i stuck velcro to the bottom of the dish and to the platform it sits on so now she cant throw her water around she realized pretty fast so now she dumps her treats into it and the next day i go to check her water theres just a bunch of swollen soggy biscuits and seeds in there 😂

[@cheryl8466]

I love the wax melter idea!!! We made a lot of stuff for our hamster. Used things from around our house. If you're younger, ask your parents or friends for containers they don't have use for, I'm positive most people have something. One of my favorite items in our hamster cage, was a repurposed wax melter that I originally purchased from Sentsy. The reason I repurposed it is because, the wiring was off on this particular wax melter. So It exploded when I plugged it in. I didn't get around to returning it because I had already gone back and forth over this particular wax melter. Frankly I was over dealing with Sentsy at this time. Huge tip, shop garage sales!!! The wax melter we repurposed had a dish along with the larger area where the bulb would go, that we made into a cave. The bulb attachment and plug are easily removed. It should already be sanded smooth. If not, sand it down. We have an awesome crystal cave and matching blue dish out of this 1 purchase. It added an awesome pop of color to our cage. Our winter white feels secure and has 2 exit points. We use this cave to add in foraging. But you can use it for many things such as a sand bath.. Honestly, the possibilities are endless.

I was able to make some adorable hideouts just from cardboard, glue, and paint. Imo, they look better than any store-bought hide. A cute paint job works wonders. You can even make a cage theme this way. Love the video! This is a super important topic. It was also very inspiring, as now I want to make more DIY'S lol.

Ooh! Can you link some of the paint you mentioned? I would love to get some but I’m terrified of getting the wrong one.

I have some white shelves in my house and was wondering if I could turn them into a diy hamster cage? I can purchase things to make it into a good one but I need to know if it would be a good idea the dimensions are roughly 34.5' wide by 11' tall by 11.5' deep. If so, any material suggestions are welcome or if not, I'm very open to other ideas!

I'm a new hamster owner his name is Jerry Theodore, he's a Djungarian hamster only two months old. Watching your videos has been so helpful thank you🐹❤
