Also when u get sunburst u should mix in some lab blocks or pellets because seed mixes don’t have enough protein. I mix in the rat Mazuri pellets for my hamster.

[@denisseramirez6768]

I upgraded my hamster from a 10 gallon tank with cage topper ontop, into the 200 L bin there. I will say she doesn’t come out anymore. She has escaped a few times on us. I wasn’t using the lid yet since I hasn’t found a way to make air-holes on it, but she was able to climb since I gave her as much bedding as possible. I ended up having to keep pressing her bedding lower, but she still managed to escape by climbing her wheel. Finally my mom helped add air holes, but now I’m trying to find ways to interact with her coming out more often like she used to her in her old home. I feel like she may be bored or stressed out as she hissed at me the other day I was trying to fix her home, which she had only ever did that when we first got her.

[@nickyyrenee]

I would suggest starting slow and making it a routine to check on her every night. I would really suggest watching my how to tame a hamster videos because they go into a lot of detail of how to go about interacting with your hamster :)

[@ronclark9724]

Hamsters can climb aquarium glass, surely they can climb plastic bins. The lid comes with the bin, a roll of steel mesh can be found at every garden center, any box cutter can cut the plastic to install the steel mesh with zip ties...

[@elianaguatt9384]

I have the 200 quart bin that you showed and it honestly one of my best hamsters purchases! I would so recommend buying it if someone is looking for a good bin cage that’s large enough, sturdy and relatively cheap. (mine costed 20 dollar which is great compared to other hamster cages on the market that meet the size requirements) Though it is a little tough to put the wire mesh on the lid because it’s not a flat lid. Besides that I would 10/10 recommend it

[@ronclark9724]

While there are Christmas tree bins available during the holidays, for most of the year that Sterlite 200 quart clear bin is the giant one usually in stock at either Walmart or Home Depot...

200 qt is good as a quarantine cage or maybe a single dwarf. Pls get the large sterilite 50 gal the edible logs are only bad if you got a chewer.. and balls are good if you have a hyper hamster and need to clean their bins and you can't trust they won't get out get lost or get hurt . My ball saved me in the beginning when I was getting used to caring for my hams and getting to know them and figuring out how to hammie proof my rooms for them.

[@oliviarabanus1384]

I just got my hamster and got a bowl for food a water bottle the ceiter care paper bedding and the wild harvest food I got the donut treata and rainbow wood chews for him there I did not get a cage from there tho also the food mix imma get the sunburst one next time because it is better and I'm a first timer

[@nickyyrenee]

Olivia Rabanus I would definitely suggest getting some Whimbzees chews for you hamster as well (they are a type of dog chew that hamsters absolutely love). Also make sure the bedding is not cedar or pine wood shavings. Both of those can irritate your hamsters skin, I would suggest getting carefresh or kaytee clean and cozy instead. Good idea to mix the old and new food though so your hamster can get used to it until you fully switch him over. Although treats like donuts are ok, more natural treats like sunflower seeds, millet, and meal worms are much better. Just some suggestions! Good luck with your new hammy!

[@Happyhammy]

What about the naturals herb mix is that safe because I was thinking of getting it but if it is not safe I am not going to get it

[@ronclark9724]

Nothing is better than the Higgins Starburst, in my opinion. And it falls a bit short on protein, thus I add the Mazouri rat and mouse food pellets.

[@alexwalker4100]

Hay is okay for hamsters in certain cases. While most won’t eat it and i would not recommended to buy it straight up for a hamster. If you have it already because you have piggies, it’s perfectly fine to pick through and find the softer pieces of hay for a hammy. 99% of the time they use it just as additional bedding. So don’t just feed your hamster only hay. Most commercial mixes don’t satisfy a hamsters daily nutritional needs, so regardless you should be providing them with a mixed food diet that’s rich in variety.
