Making Everything From Scratch | The Little Cage Project Ep.4

[@SomethingAnimal]

I think this enclosure deserves a proper name, any suggestions for it? 🤔🍄 🐹 Edit: Okay, people voting for "Steve" I like your vibes... That being said I think we need to consider the implications of such a name. For example; "My hamster lives in Steve." "In today's video we're cleaning out Steve!" "Time to put my hamster back inside Steve" "Let's rip Steve apart and use the pieces to build something new" Just something to think about 👀

[@KristenHenderson-dz5vs]

Something whimsical or just Steve

[@ChristyH-B]

I'm wracking my brain for something that does the mystical hamster hamlet vibes justice but my brain is just not playing ball.

[@finley6161]

Idk whether to be impressed at the amount of talent behind this or genuinely concerned for your ability to overcomplicate every project you start.

[@WeirdonikaMetalchick]

Welcome to adhd 😂😂

[@SomethingAnimal]

The concern is always appreciated and valid 😂

[@diadsalies]

This is such an amazing project, and the amount of work and different skills applied into it is unreal. The hamster living in here in the end is truly one of the top 1% of hamster society lol. Thank you for sharing. I has no idea there were such pet safe options for glue and paints and things either.

[@sherrie553]

I missed your videos, always a good day when Ollie uploads

[@SomethingAnimal]

Its good to be back! 😁

[@lilymoon5449]

We all miss you

[@KabbalahSherry]

Ollie?? 🤔 I thought... wait... am I missing anything here? Not trying to be snarky or anything. I truly feel like maybe I missed a personal revelation by the creator of the channel, (trying to respect possible pronoun change), and just want to make sure I address them by the correct name, moving forward, if it has in fact changed. Unless "Ollie" is referring to somebody else?

[@Organham4903]

@@KabbalahSherry I think they transitioned

[@KabbalahSherry]

​@@Organham4903- OK cool, I assumed as much... but also didn't want to assume, if that makes sense? 😄 lol Just trying to be respectful. Thanks a lot. Appreciate it.

[@artedezeynep]

It is the by far the most beautiful hamster cage I’ve ever seen. It’s very creative, definitely gave me some inspiration and ideas for adding to my cage. And the best thing is you created them all for your hammy. You’re so talented, keep up with the good work. Thanks a lot ❤

[@SomethingAnimal]

Thank you so much :)

[@Chris-b4w8t]

it always warms my heart to see animals given the right space, care, and enrichment. these are some of the coolest and most creative diy's also

[@RosieGamgee]

the idea of your hamster checking their mailbox for treats is so stinkin adorable!

[@hermionethehamster]

These all look great! The little path with the wood slices would make a great foraging toy to see if a hamster could use their feet and noses to get seeds from the gaps between the pieces! I honestly have no clue what's going on with the massive mushroom boom but they are just so cute and irresistible 😂

[@SomethingAnimal]

Thats a great idea! And yes the mushrooms seem to be everywhere, theyve plotted a takeover! 😂

[@CrestedNeut]

I'm only part way through the video but I had to pause to say.. the club house is incredible! Fully blown away by the level of detail and just how well it turned out. Just Stunning. OTL

[@corysimpson8899]

Dude, miss your antics on youtube SO much. Glad to see you've got another one up and it's just as much fun, can't wait to see the final setup and see who moves in!

[@ella-louisewhite7938]

the bob ross of hamsters 🤣💕

[@SomethingAnimal]

Lets add some happy little moss over there 😌😂

[@KabbalahSherry]

Yes! 😆😍

[@Lydialay]

Imagine waking up and being this creative. Looks amazing!

[@sabrinakopke215]

I've been inspired to diy some stuff for Miss Peanut's enclosure! We thank you!

[@spinzz29]

On special occasions, my parents used to let me play in an area similar to what you made. It was so magical and fun. Seeing you make these DIYs brought back part of my happy childhood. U inspire me to make more DIYs! Don’t rush the process!

[@balicard00]

I have a feeling that the no mice sign is an easter egg for your next cage build 👀

[@SomethingAnimal]

Oh no I didn't mean to mislead! It's just a play on the "no adults" signs on clubhouses 🙈 I'm just sticking with hamsters for the foreseeable future 😊

[@amy995]

It looks like a hamster summer camp. I love it.

[@lenkaahmad2054]

I'm seriously jealous of your creativity and skills. The enclosure looks amazing! Can't wait to see it all finished.

[@gaynorandrews1684]

I love how enthusiastic you are about your builds. You are inspirational. You plan your enclosure so thoroughly. You show how and what you use. I love to create too but I'm no where near your level of expertise

[@dagnolia6004]

watching a master artisan at work! so creative....

[@leopardgeckotalk]

This is so cool 😍 I have a diy wood, pvc, fabric set, you basically build a mini greenhouse. I don’t have the patience but I feel like it would right up your alley.

[@MissMeganBeckett]

I can’t believe my good luck! So many of my old favourite KZbin channels have started being recommended for me again, yay!

[@JESUSROCKS921]

Utterly adorable and amazing craftsmanship !🫅🏻 It’s always fun and captivating watching you put everything together!!! Throughly enjoyed watching ❤

Hamster interior designer & architect. Now there's a career path I bet your parents didn't see coming. 😅 Nice to see you back Ollie ❤ I've followed you since you had... Einstein I believe. I could be mistaken a long haird black i think..

[@lynnpurfield9430]

We watched this for the second time. Oh Olly, what a joy! You made two old pensioners so happy with your humour and genius creativity. Thank you darling ❤

[@SomethingAnimal]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😄

[@lottierenwick8789]

Absolutely made my day seeing you've made a video ❤ Don't leave it to long before the next video ❤

I am in awe of the time and love you put into an enclosure!! Love it. Wish I was artsy and not scared of power tools!!!

You are so unbelievably talented!!!

[@nebraskadawn]

Your videos are always worth the wait. Your talent is ridiculous. What a lucky hamster!

[@Bleech606]

The detail is insane. Great work!

[@tranngocanhthu2046]

Everything is so detailed wow :0

[@cakeeeetime]

Judging by the amount of comments: More then 5 viewers :) Your videos are so good, I can watch them on bad mental health days. AND your work is a huge inspiration. Thank you.

[@girlski342]

I am so glad you see you posting. I love seeing your post on instagram but it’s not the same. Anyways this looks so amazing! Your new friend who gets to live in there will be so happy. Can’t wait to see them and the cage all together!

[@SomethingAnimal]

Thank you! 😄💙

[@lulucanpy3513]

Oh man, in LOVE with the theme and art direction you've taken! I am doing the same for my snake enclosure (though with a bit less DIY). I was considering whether or not i could/should incorporate a well decoration of some sort but we'll see! Hammy will love when they move in

[@kirmetthe96]

I just love your content, the cage's you have made over the years and been amazing and the things you make for the cage's out of this world! I have actually quite liked following this project over the last couple of year's. As for cage names i quite like "the magical garden" "hammy allotment" "the far away cage" and my last one "hammy lock down" ❤ i look forward to the next video 😊 Thank-you for all that you do for this community and the inspirations we get from ur D.I.Y's x

[@kellyjean4981]

I kind of wish mine would chew their stuff up so I would have an excuse to make more! Haha 😅

"No mice" Aw :( But I love it here lol. This channel is great because its a mix of creativity and rodents, my favorite.

This video was so relaxing to watch! I love your creativity and am so excited to see this little fae...farm/footing/fount...finished😅 in its entirety and ready for its new resident!

[@13juniper]

I hit the like button, please don't remove my can labels! lol. It looks soooo gooooood! I miss having a hammy.. my lil boy Oakley passed about 2 years ago now... seems crazy... is it really two years? Maybe it was just a year? I can't even think now lol. Anyway he's been gone and I miss his hairy little butt. We moved in October... bigger house over-all but smaller rooms/spaces... no space whatsoever for a hamster enclosure of proper size. I've been so bummed about it. Maybe I'll figure something out one day... I am determined enough (cough STUBBORN cough) lol.... we'll see. Anyway... looks great, Ollie!

[@lynnpurfield9430]

So missed your wondfully unique humour and astonishing creativity....so jealous of the new resident. Can I move in? Lo!.

Haha, well I cut out the clip where I messed up so badly I had to scrape allll of the paint off the plastic and start the whole thing over from scratch! 😂

When it's ready for someone to move into it...can I? 😂 I'm probably small enough! Brilliant little builds as always

[@SomethingAnimal]

😂😂

[@cloudyskyz2237]

Judging by my past hamsters, that moss is either going to be left alone, or all of it taken off of everything and used as bedding. My hamster had a coconut hide covered in moss, and within a couple days, it was bare. So uh…just be prepared to fix up some stuff.

[@SomethingAnimal]

Haha oh dear! 😅 I've yet to have a destructive hamster, I think the universe is making sure my guard is completely down before it gives me the most destructive hammy in existence 😂

[@tempura.j]

This is incredible I'm elated I stumbled upon this channel! I'd love to know the playlist of the songs you used!

[@vivien1080]

So pretty diy! Fairy land or cottage I will name

[@MyCuteHamster00]

OMG! Everything is so adorable!!! 😍 I especially like the club house and the well! ❤ What colors are you using? I always have limitations painting stuff because I don't know any safe color brands. Please share with meee! 😭

[@SomethingAnimal]

Tempera paint is my go-to for anything that has the potential to be chewed on, I don't worry about brand names I just get the most affordable one I can find. Tempera is pet safe but is often made from eggs so keep that in mind if you have egg allergies! Non-toxic acrylic is good to use on hard-to-chew places like shelves, walls, walkways, etc. Food colouring is another safe option. A good money saving tip is to only buy white, black, red, blue, and yellow paints. As long as you have those 5 colours you can mix them into any colour or shade that you need :)

[@MyCuteHamster00]

@@SomethingAnimal OMG! Who would have thought tempera was safe. Thank you so much! Now my ham Biscuit and future hamsters can have nice stuff 🥰

[@Nothemomma904]

This is like a little hamster shire

[@lucianabrito5334]

Amazing!

[@MrsMort23]

I know the decor is mostly for human enjoyment but have you noticed if hamsters prefer certain designs and colors over others? Like maybe they wake up earlier if you use dark colors and later with light colors or are more active in enclosures with specific designs and colors?

[@SomethingAnimal]

It's not something I've personally noticed, but maybe it's something I'll experiment with in the future!

[@sandgale]

Uu i see news tools i had never seen before. Watching you build this makes me wish there was a mini mini cam that hamsters could carry to see how yhey experience everything you did 😂

[@SomethingAnimal]

It just takes practice! The more crafting and diy-ing you do the easier it gets :)

[@krislucero1741]

Hi! Loved your video. I was wondering.... What is the name of the tool you are using to cut the lolly sticks? @ 4:04

[@SomethingAnimal]

It has a few different names depending on location, wire-cutting pliers, nipping pliers, staple pulling pliers - but any kind of large wire cutter will do the job. Just make sure you use a dedicated pair as cutting wood dulls the blade and makes them useless for cutting actual wire!
