This is a really cool build and I'm sure he loves the natural environment but it is really small for a hamster of Stephen's size. This is his whole world so it would be nice to connect to a larger space where he has a few inches more to tunnel. I'm looking forward to what you do with this.

[@twighlightshamsterworld]

Yes even the new cage isn’t quite there but at least he has very good enrichment so it shouldn’t stress out to much but I agree he does need a bigger enclosure

It's not too small at all. Your solution of making it bigger is to 'add a few inches'

great idea but he needs much more space, a large wheel (they run for miles a night and a sand bath. he needs more hides, bark, etc up top to keep covered while exploring, they like clutter to feel safe. something like slate to run across for his nails too maybe?

Nice video but keep in mind hamsters need the wheel in the cage and they come from deserts. Water can kill them so that's why we can't put them in the water. Having this in mind you can't plant plants and water them....Also the biggest a hamster's cage is it's better for it

[@prolyhigh]

He did add a wheel and water bottle at the end though

[@DrTheRich]

You don't need to water the moss

[@jadesage09]

I agree with the other comments that the enclosure needs to be much bigger. I would recommend watching some german hamster videos as they have beautiful natural setups. Also, you can put the cabin on dowel rods to hold it up and prevent it from falling. If you get a bigger enclosure there will be more space for interesting things like hiding places, branches, rocks, a wheel, maybe sections of different materials like soil, sand and bedding. Your hamster is very cute and I hope you continue on improving your setup!

Thnx!

[@lechking941]

@Tamani thing is, that encloser looks to be decently sized from my veiw of things but if you know just how big a solo hampster burrow gets in the wild that would help, but from the tell the little fellow is only stressed from the moving in aspect give the fellow time to ajust to that home

[@cupcaketeddy5359]

I made this comment to advise any hamster owners, including Stephan’s owner, not as a hate comment

[@cupcaketeddy5359]

@ Gabriel Kouri Every hamster needs a wheel! They travel a minimum of 5 miles a night in the wild - a wheel gives them that stimulation. Also hamsters should only have to burrow when reconstructing their home, an exercise that takes 20 minutes tops

[@cupcaketeddy5359]

Why did you get involved?

[@saladmcjones7798]

You need to build a space that has complete "privacy" for these terrestrial animals. These animals will stress if their burrow locations don't feel private to them. Best way to accommodate their need for privacy and our curiosity is to install infrared cameras in their burrowing locations.

[@jimbobs3612]

Bigger needs to be so much bigger. 600sq inch of floor space and a 8 inch wheel. Spinning disks cause back problems.

I recommend giving your hamster a bin cage or a 40 gallon aquarium , the bigger the better ! Adding enrichments makes your hamster happier , adding some chew toys , a big wheel and at least 6 inches of bedding is good ( oh and btw the bin cage has to be 450 square inches )

@@jiji5574 enrichments are things you put in the enclosure to enrich the hamsters life. In general they are things that keep their minds or senses stimulated and occupied.

He'll be more comfortable if you put some dark fabric or wood around the glass so that it is dark when he goes underground. (Now he can still see people looking at him when he's underground). You can take away the dark covering whenever you want to peek at him.

[@jellytoes6143]

this is way better than ur old cage but it still may not be big enough (depending on the measurements u sent) i assume u were measuring in cm, but 50cm is dtill not big enough. u need at least 70x40x40 cm for dwarfs. and you NEED a wheel that wont bend stephens back. also add a sand bath with safe hamster sand (not DUST or scented)

[@souixaan]

i think that is even small as far as recommendations go now. we were told 100cm x 80cm for our dwarf.

[@SkitSkat674]

Unfortunately not all hamsters like sand baths. I tried with mine but they don't even go in it. After months of trying I'm giving up on that. As soon as the last batch of sand gets to old and dirty, that's it. No more sand.

[@LTDLimiTeD1995]

I really like the design of the Hamstaerium, but I would point out that while it's a vast improvement spacewise to the previous cage, hamsters really do best in as much space as you can give them. In the US, educated hamster owners strive for at least 450-650 square inches which is commonly in the form of a 40-gallon fish tank, or an Ikea Detolf on its side. Many places such as Germany have vastly higher standards. I'm sure he loves the natural environment you're creating though, and its still larger than many hams are given :)

[@n.oke1029]

[@sircrimsonwolf7492]

Maybe consider making his new environment bigger or just taller to study how elaborate his tunnels can be. Seems like it could be potentially highly fascinating and if a hamster buddy affects the tunnels in anyway.

[@rocktopuss9279]

Stephan needs a much bigger space. He deserves better. Hopefully we will see that in a future video.

[@bigpeanut_mizo8676]

Im actually really suprised on how well he cleaned his fur

[@vyrusvoydcat8326]

Maybe, if you're afraid the house will fall, give it some pillars that kerp it up? Just like real houses standing on top of a fundation. Stephem may need to dig around it, but at least his house won't fall over if he digs all the dirt away from under the house. Edit: Also you really have to add a hamster wheel and enrichment like wooden tubes and more places to hide in. Right now the area is far too open.

[@JCsJennifer726]

True! They need clutter around them to feel safe.

[@dogofchaos]

thank you for asking for recommendations! as others pointed out, this terrarium is still a bit too small. if you accept the advices, I think you will set a good example for lots of people, especially kids.

There’s one huge flaw with the size of the cage: it’s far too small for the space they need to run around!! Hamsters can travel as much as 100 miles per night. 😂😂😂😂

It’s so great to see a hamster display natural behaviors. I’m convinced now that the best enrichment for a hamster is nature itself.

it is low iron glass and indeed it is super transparant and looks good at camera, it's a fair price I guess for that specification

Hello. I know you probably want the best for your hamster but it is important to realize your hamsters care has to come first than a video for entertainment. It is dangerous to let your hamster free in the forest. Many of the things you gathered don’t seem sanitized. I am not here to hate on you but this is your chance to read your comments and use them to learn from your mistakes. Hamsters are more than just pets. There life matters just like yours. So please grow and learn better for your hamster. Hamsters deserves better care.

I love this so much! 🥰 Oh I always thought the hamsters I had were boring. 😂 Why didn't I came up with something like this! I always created so much to give my pets a little bit more adventure. But with the hamsters it never really worked. I should have given them soil! Of course, this is so entertaining to watch!!! I love how he shakes the dirt off. So cool and cute! How is it possible that you let him run freely through the woods? I'll be scared that he would escape. Cool that you dared to try! This video is so much fun! Very nice work! Thanks a lot for sharing.

Please be careful about letting the hamster roam the woods. He looks like a mouse and some predator may try to grab him. Course with a human looming over him a predator may just keep its distance. I would feel safer seeing Stephan in a hamster ball outside of his cage. Hopefully the lid is secure?

[@nickryan3417]

Unless that lid is held down in place by 10kg of weights (likely more) or a very strong clip mechanism the likelihood of him *not* escaping is pretty much zero.

[@txferretgirl]

There are quite a lot of things that are wrong here. The concept I think is meant to do well, but first don't let your hamster outside. Even for a little bit. If it gets spooked and run it's gone and will likely die. Second, that cage looks interesting but is far too small. They need at minimum(as in at least, should have more) 450 square inches of floor space along with an area for a sand bath. I am also concerned by how low the front is that he can leave. The saucer running wheels are bad for their back, so I would recommend a large standing wheel where his back can be completely straight while running. Over all good intentions, but there are still things that need to be done for it to be perfect. The concept of a dirt cage is great, and he clearly likes it but he needs at least triple the length.

[@Jaceisdabest]

please get a bigger enclosure, i think the minimum is 450 square inches of floor space. a big diy bin cage or a 40 gallon (or bigger) tank would be best. i’m pretty sure this hamster species comes from the dessert and needs at least 1 third of the cage to be hamster safe sand. i would also recommend a wheel that is 8+ inches because flying saucers and smaller wheels can cause major back problems. adding stilts to the house would also be good so it doesn’t collapse on the hamster as he builds his burrows. i would also recommend a different substrate to be the main bedding. like aspen or unsented paper bedding. and please make sure none of the bedding is wet, it is extremely dangerous to hamsters, this is why they use sand to bathe. i’m also worried that he was let outside, there are many predators and bugs that could cause damage to him, and unknown plants that he could possibly eat. i’m glad you’re open to suggestions to make your hamsters life better :)
