Is this a good Hamster cage? | IKEA Detolf

[@iamlisa4093]

My aunt has had an ikea detolf for YEARS and before i did my research i didnt know it could be a hamster cage. About a week ago i went to her house and realized it was an ikea detolf and since i have a hamster i asked if i could have it. She said no.

[@iibloxibea3910]

I would get an ikea detolf for my (hopefully) future hamster, but when I get one, it will be my responsibility and my parents wouldn’t want a huge cage on display as there is only really one place where there’s enough space for it, but I’m getting a large bin cage instead Xx in the future I hope to make a large diy cage and own a hamster ☺️

Thank you!! I'm a second time hamster owner, my first hamster I got when I was ten, her name was TaterTot, she was a Robo Dwarf and I know this is awful but I did starve it to death by accident, I over estimated the amount of food they burrow. It's been quite some time since then and after much more research and aging later I've gotten my second hamster, his name is Quigiles and he is a long haired Syrian hamster. I've had him for a bit and have noticed he is showing stress/boredom behaviors so I've been researching larger cage types as plastic storage bins can only get so big and this seems perfect! I'm going to Ikea to pick up the Detolf tomorrow and my step-father is coming over on Sunday to help me set up the cage and make a custom lid for it, I've also got new toys and things so he'll have plenty of enrichment. I've been trying my best to give this guy a better life and learn from my past mistakes, I'll get him a large enclosure and when I get my third hamster in a few years hopefully I'll make sure to give them a larger enclosure to start out with so they don't have to upgrade and go through the stress of a cage change like Quigiles. I'm far from being the best pet owner but I'm working on it and trying and learning new ways to give the fur balls a better life. Your channel has helped tremendously and I'm extremely grateful for that. Thank you :]

[@krishankalia9990]

I think that it is so cool how amazing the hamster community is and how they can find the best hamster enclosures possible!

I don’t have a hamster at the moment so I’m living through pet channels but I would love the detolf, I just don’t know where I would put it 🤔🤔

[@xradelox]

Your comment was a year ago so I don’t know if you’ve gotten your hamster yet but please don’t purchase from pet stores. Check around at your local animal shelters and also on Craigslist. Just be careful on Craigslist that you’re not buying from a breeder. A good sign that the person really is just trying to find another home for their animal is if they’re sending the supplies with it. They may charge a rehoming fee (rehoming is NOT selling and don’t trust people who breed animals to sell and use the word “rehome”) to make sure its going to a good home. Many people buy them for their kids and then when the kid gets tired of it they get rid of it. So small animals need adopters just like cats and dogs do!

[@taradiane]

I've had the same detolf for probably 3 years now.... the only thing that I wish I'd known about it before I bought it, was that it was recommended to use aquarium sealant around the edges where the glass meets up. The plastic 'sleeves' that the glass panels fit into did not hold up at all, and I ended up having to put duct tape there instead to prevent bedding from falling through the cracks left behind. Since they're so affordable, I've contemplating just getting a new one to start over with.

I haven't had too many issues with that, I've just put packing tape along the seams.

Got to say a big thanks for this video, changed my life... I adopted a male Russian dwarf hamster , I got him two plastic cages with 3 levels and connected them with tubes and I left him a few days to settle, started getting him out and handling him and he was such a sweet boy, I then started having problems with him, I can only describe how he was as really bad cage aggression, he was fine once out of his cage but he was totally a different story when he was in his cage, so I went out and bought him a new cage....it was the Savic Hamster Heaven Syrian hamster cage, it was a little bit cheaper the the first two cages he had connected together. This seemed to do the trick, he was a lot calmer and stopped lunging at me while I was spot cleaning...... about 6 days into his new cage the aggression slowly started to show again, so I went away at a wits end, didn’t really know what to do... didn’t want to rehome him that was out of the question, I came across this video and it made me look more into getting my own detolf, it was cheaper then the 1st setup he had and was cheaper then the current cage he was in. So I ordered him a detolf and omg he is now a completely different hamster, since moving him into the detolf I left him to settle for a couple of days, but still going in spot cleaning and staying up late to check on him that the cage move hadn’t stressed him out to much, and now he is brilliant, theirs been no signs of his aggression since and when I’m spot cleaning him or cleaning him out he come out running round my hands for attention, no biting no lunging, I just wish I would have come across this video a lot sooner, he’s also managed to loose a bit of weight witch is brilliant as he was abit over weight when I got him.

[@ssomeoneyouknoww]

My dwarf hated it actually. It was pretty disappointing since we used so much time and money on it. She was a rescue, so she went from a tiny barred cage to a samla bin, and then went from the bin to the ikea detolf. She would constantly bite the lid, and she was very stressed. Now she lives in a cage that’s 1400 square inches, because that’s the biggest cage I can provide her with currently. She would have loved to get more space, but sadly that’s not possible for me. The detolf is now a playpen. 🤗

[@ghettogoblin4187]

dwarf hamsters will grow attachment to their environment and if they are moved to a new cage or subtararium they will become stressed out because they want to live in their previous environment. i noticed the same behaiviour when my dwarf hamster was moved to a different cage and i could immideately tell she wanted her previous environment back

I love how the bedding in the detolf behind you just goes: wwweeeeEEEEEEEEE 😂😂

[@AVAAAHHHH]

HELP! How do I convince my parents to let me buy this? I'm buying it with my own money, but they think that it will be hard to clean.

[@Spl1ntr3d]

Tell them it’s a lot easier to clean as because of the size you only need to spot clean every 1/2 weeks

[@AVAAAHHHH]

@@Spl1ntr3d Thanks, but I already got a different cage!

i asked my dad if he knew what this was and he said no- then i said it can be converted to a hamster enclosure- then he said no- then i said it was only $60 and he was like- where would we put it..? *edit- my hamster bean passed away last night...the people that i got him fromnsaid he was 3 months old but when we took him to the vet the doctor said he was at least a year...he died from a brain tumor...i found him rapidly breathing and on his side..and the worst part...i only had him for 6 days 💔*

I used the cardboard bits from the Detolf box to shim the glass bottom every foot, so it comfortably rests on a bookshelf that’s wider.

I thing she said “go out” but really fast

[@beckismith93]

I have the detolf didn’t realise how big it would be and it hardly fitted in the car but I love seeing bear have all the space only issue Iv found is I can’t hang toys for her in their like I could on a barred cage but she has plenty of enrichment so it’s not a issue just have toys she can’t use anymore lol

[@VictoriaRaechel]

Ooh if you have a mesh lid you can hang stuff on there! As well as the bars not he inside can be used for hanging some things!

[@daniellamarie-nu6hn]

We just got the detolf!! We are on our way home. So excited and thank you for showing it to me!!! ❤️ u!

[@_delirious]

the way getting both the detolf and cabinet way cheaper (on my side) than a metro cage. wow. nice!

[@kaileyfrancis]

Recently just got a detolf after I had my hamster in a 40 gallon breeder tank (which he somehow kept escaping from), definitely the best hamster cage out there and he seems a lot more happy and hasn't escaped once! :)

[@cloudyplaylists9136]
