Doing that with the cardboard is a great idea, I’m getting that cage and as the base isn’t very deep, I’ll probably do the same thing 💗

It's about as deep as you are going to get with a barred cage, but adding cardboard is a good way to get it deeper :) Enjoy setting up your new cage when it arrives.

I really like magazorb. I forget who's cage I saw the coconut in, maybe Ria's? The cardboard works fine till I have to lift the top part of the cage off. I think water hyacinth mats work better. I will do a video about it all at some point. The wicker tunnel is awesome, Star is always in and out of it.

Hi, I was just wondering if you could possibly do a video on how to put more bedding into wired cages. Thank you
@CosmicHamsters5 жыл бұрын
Hi, I did plan to do that and I had it already to make but I don't think the footage was that good. But quickly, you can cut cardboard down or use different grass chew mats (safe for hamsters) and a safe string such as jute or sisal. You can tie to the inside or outside, I have done both. Star has cardboard tied to the outside of her cage and Luna used to have the chew mats on the inside. Depends if your hamster is a big chewer or not. The chew mats look more aesthetically pleasing than the cardboard, but I don't mind as long as my hammies are happy. Also, cardboard is free and you are recycling. Mats cost £2-£3 each. They are quite big - 3-4 can go quite a long way in a 80-100cm wired cage.

Hi sorry to keep asking so many questions 😂 but is the wheel in this video good quality, quiet etc because I’m struggling to find a big wheel that is good quality and quite cheap. Thank you
@CosmicHamsters5 жыл бұрын
Hi I don't mind. Glad to try and help, This was the trixie wheel and for the price it isn't bad- but not totally quiet. In my opinion it is way quieter than the more expensive silent spinner (I returned mine). I think the Trixie could have been quieter if the stand didn't hit the wheel every now and then, other ones may be better than mine. Attached to the side of the cage it was better. I have to be honest and say that Star now has a silent runner (Silent but expensive) but I still use this for when she is free roaming.

With my cage setups you normally need 2 people to move them as they are very heavy. The cage itself is quite sturdy, but I would never lift it from just the bars, I always get my hands underneath the plastic base and lift from there, especially if it is a full cage. Hope that helps.

Great video, but my only thing I have to say is: its a LOT of stuff. While accessories are great for hamsters, you can still have too much. Hamsters like to burrow so I do appreciate the deeper substrate, however, his tunnels and burrowing may be interrupted by the two half log type hides you stuffed into the bedding. While you gave your hamster a wheel to run/walk on, its still important that a hamster has enough room to still roam around the cage without being stopped by loads of hides and tunnels and accessories. This is not a hate comment, just constructive criticism. Overall a great video :)

Like all my cage set ups I will have watched how my hamster reacted when I put them in their cage. I always tend to end up changing something. Not sure what I changed in this instance as it was nearly a year ago when I had this setup. I think every hamster is different so you have to work out what is right for them. I like to help give ideas so people get a bit more creative in their cage setups. I hate to see bare hamster cages. Thanks for your comment. ❤🐹
