As always remember that if your hamster is a known chewer avoid using plastic supplies, for this particular DIY a metal container will work just as well for a chewer. It's also your responsibility as a pet owner to check all toys regularly (even if you have a non-chewer) and remove damaged or worn out toys so as to keep your pet's environment safe :)

you should make a diy cage and fill it with diy stuff only,including wheel,bedding,toys,hideout,etc,

@blossombuddies2875 7 жыл бұрын

luca ghena yes :0 Even though I suck at DIY I want to try that for mine when I get one. Except the food and water won't be diy... (maybe the water bottle but the only diy one I've seen is terrible)

For my hamster we actually made a home made cage using a new 3 leveled portable shelf then wrapped chicken wire around the 3 sides for 2 levels made a door for the 4 side and pull wood slices on the bottom edge so that the bedding will not fall out and we shredded paper as bedding then for hide out I used a yogurt container ( I placed the container upside down with the cap on and made a hole at the edge then put some "bedding" inside and lastly for the toys I took a paper towel roll made a few holes and I took flour and water mixed them up then put the flour water mix on a popsicle sticks stuck on some sunflower seeds or other treets Wow that was a lot 💤

Genius!!! I love it! You are so good. I was in a pet store awhile ago just looking around. There was a family very interested in the Robos. I told them about my sweet Robo, Clementine. They started asking me questions. With watching your channel for so long, I could answer their questions and give some good advice. I told them about your channel and they were thrilled to know that there is such a great resource for them (and all of us). Thank you so much for helping us be better parents to our babies. ☺

Use a soldering iron to make your holes.

Only one thing I have to say is negative but not being mean at all the Long bolt in the back that is long that you screw a nut on it’s too long because if you put it in a cage that long bolt thing It’s going to be in the way and take up some space in your hamsters cage

@ronclark9724 4 жыл бұрын

You can use several washers or cut off a short tube of a plastic straw to provide some space between the wooden post and the plastic open wheel. A drop of mineral oil there at the bolt will help silence the open wheel.
