Shrek The big boi same!

I'm late but dude same
Umm...If u buy a pet u need to care for it right? I think its obvious
@@waltuh8771 but she doesn't have to put this much effort, so they are just praising how great she is at taking care of them
Me: Doesn't own any rodents, likely never will
Also me: * watches every craft Erin ever makes *
You should! Syrian hamsters can be sweet. :) They aren't that hard to take care of either.
Lucille Fisher same haha
Me realized hamsters are rodents :O
Lol imagine a glue named
Toxic Children’s Glue
XD
First i was like " non toxic childrens glue"sounds good.
Then i realize this comment said "toxic childrens glue" XD
😂😂
Only the finest for my little timmy
*The best kind*
Edit: Looking at this reply 6 months later, I have no memory of writing it LOL
Me: - spending 175 dollars on 2 hamsters -
Me: - watches this -
Also me: Awe man
Haha! I'm going To ask if i could get a hamster for christmas this year. I don't know if my parents will let me, because i have a rabbit already. But i have wanted a hamster for over a year now, and i have done so much research. I'm making diy's for my future hammy (if i'm going to get one) and i'm saving money for a large Cage. Wish me luck. And i was searching online on petsores and ikea all the stuff i would get for my hamster and it was total 300€🥺😅
- that’s cool I’m getting another bird for my birthday but I’m gonna ask for a hamster or 2 female mice for Christmas
True
@@cinnamon6014 if you go to pets at home I got everything i need for 62 pound :) hope that helps sorry that I’m late tho 🙈😅
The best part if this is that it's all cardboard, meaning that your hamster can use it how its supposed to be, but can also destroy it and it wont harm the hamster!
The one dislike has their hamster in a habittrail
The other dislikes are from said hamster, who is jealous
what's a habittrail
@@oxin1099 think they meant critter trail...look it up it's basically just a super small cage that's really expensive (I see them for like 50$) they are not suitable for any animal and some can be dangerous cause of tubing
Hailey There is also Habitrails,which are EVEN SMALLER than a CritterTrail.
@@lucidmx. somEThinG smAllEr thAn a Critter trail wHAT!?
I don’t even have a hamster anymore but I still love watching these videos😂😂
I just got my little winter white dwarf and I can’t wait to make these for him!
What’s his name
Sa Yeewen sprout!
@@rue6173 ok mine is about a year old got him jan 18 when he was about 2 months old. My cousin named him Cutie
I have an 8 week old Robo dwarf, I want to make some of these for him too!
Yayyy
The seesaw looks so fun. Thank you for all of these great ideas. I'm excited to try a few of them.
YESSS. I love how in depth you were!! Thank you for the measurements God bless you 💖💖
My little dwarf Hades died this morning. He was a rescue and terrified of people. Took me months just to be able to stroke him for a few minutes. He got to live being mostly left to play about. He would have loved these. Xxx hope to rescue a new one bring my hamsters back to 4 babys not 3 xxx
Rest in peace, little Hades! I'm glad you gave him some love and affection before he crossed the rainbow bridge. ❤
The gluing of the tube was strangely relaxing xD This looks like an amazing array of toys, can't wait to try them out :D
This filled me with unexpected joy. I really enjoyed this and the music was calming. Thank you!
Tip, using a paper towel roll works perfect! And it’s really easy to get from your house. :D
Yassss we needed more cardboard tutorials
Did a similar as the last one! Cut out her name “Dave” (always wanted a pet named Dave) and it was adorable. Little did I know, Dave is pretty smart. She easily flipped it over multiple times and all her food and treats falls right out 🤷♀️
Love it. Thank you 💗
My favorite is the forage board. I’m so exited to make it!
Hey Erin please make more diys like this as we are in quarantine and can make more stuff for our little hammes! Thank you!
Love this idea so much so creative and cool I’m sure my hamsters will love this 💖
Thank you so much! I'm looking for ideas to build a bridge this really helped!! :D
i- i’m now covered in glue maybe i’m not as crafty as i thought...they all broke as soon as i put them together ._.
These are so cute! Definitely adding these to my bin cages for my boys 🥰
Ty for this btw, ive been looking for videos on diy projects for my mice. Love the ideas!
@Galatix Gamer I know, thank you. They are in separate bin cages
Such a nice video with alot of nice ideas! I'll definitely use some of these!
You can use those really thick cardboard things that sometimes are used to package ikea furniture as forage toys. All you need to do is poke holes in it and shove food in it. It took two seconds to make and hamster loved it
These are so creative. You are my favourite youtuber💕
I'm in love with all of these ! I made a "second floor" with cardboar and now want to make mote cardboar toys
ty for the ideas!! I will definitely be doing like 3 of these for my lil hamster!
These all look great! Can't wait to try some out when i finally get my new hamster
These are SOOO cute!!!!!! I LOVE ITT
Love your genius!!
Ive just taken delivery of an ikea detolf cabinet & a kallax unit & am sitting here surrounded by a massive pile of card board watching this video with a huge smile on my face!! Yaaay!! Guess what Im going to be makin tonight!! :)
Love this! Definitely going to put in the effort to find some children safe glue and reuse cardboard if needed for my little guy!
I love this! Thank you
The hammy is so cute!!! Glad he has some new toys :)
I love these videos!
I love your video ,thankyou!
Thanks for this vid!
I love all of your videos but these are my favourite
The food bowl was a really smart idea!! :) I cant wait to make some of these for my hamster! 10/10
OMG i love this
this is so cool!! im ready to do all this hahaha
Amazing and so helpful👍
This is asome!!
Amazing , Love it !
For some reason this video inspired me to make a cardboard Christmas cage theme... thanks xD
Amazing video helped me alot I can't find any video tutorial but this helped me alot
so cute, imma try these.
Thank you. I had just recently received a hamster and I’m not rich, but I want to provide my hamster a happy and fun life. These diys will help with that but I won’t have to spend money. Ok sounds cruel but these diys seem more fun and fit for a hamster.
Ikr and people are like if you don’t have the money why buy a pet, but like I think as long as you have food, that you shouldn’t worry bc you can literally diy bedding and toys and stuff like that, just help them instead criticizing them, people are so ignorant 😭😭😭
@@tangerinebabe1163 it’s the hamster Karen’s 💀
The bridge is great! So glad I kept the cardboard from my move last month for once
I made the little bridge for my three mice, and they loved it!! Right now I am making more of these diys!
Thanks my hamsters are going to love this
I already made all of them. I cut the circles until my hands hurt to make the seesaw but it is worth it can't wait to let my hamsters play them I'm also going make your DIY playpen xD
This is long as a bussssssssssssss
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰
thx ur so help full!
Will do this for my mice!!! Thanks
This surely helps huh, I'm broke but I want my hamster to live a good life
Gracias
The triangle house and bridge are very sturdy once made, but unless you have non toxic super glue you have to hold them for 5 minutes to dry.
Yes!
PLEASE make more videos like this
These are awesome!! I'm going to scale up the measurements so I can do these for my rats
did it work?
Thanks bro love you
The one dislike is a jealous hamster
I’m getting a hamster in the nest couple of weeks and I have been doing some diy bits for him inc his enclosure I’m so excited
my hamster loved it! thanks !
This is soooo good
Im going to make them! ❤👍

I like the hide a seek on the best!
Los ame todos :3 exelente vídeo ♡
Love this. This will help with my robo hamster tameing bonding time
I Like all of them but the bridge I think I will buy my own.evevy thang elts I like.

I will fill up my hamsters food bowl then come back 5 minutes later to see that she has litterally picked every thing out exept the little pellet things
Omg same here!
Ikr
Sameeeeee!!!
You should leave the pellets until they have eaten all or most of it
Sameee 🤣
So cute!💖❤🐹🐹
So good
Thank you so much for making this video! I have saved up a ton of cardboard and haven't had any ideas for hamster stuff so I'm diffidently going to be making these!!!
thank you! im having a sleepover with this girl who has a critter trail, the hamster very old and they dont want to replace the cage so im trying to make things for her so she can have a semi great/ enriching rest of her life
THANK YOU FOR SHARING! 😍
Buenas ideas gracias🐱🐱
I’m gonna make some of these since I’m getting a hammy!!
Are boxes with print on it safe? For example post office boxes?
I resized these for my rats!
they will love them
Wow👌
Early squad today great small pet video
Hey Erin, I know this question is about a vid u made a long time ago but it is about your 3 soft foods for elderly hamsters vid. Do u have to get a new pan so it is not contaminated with oil for scrambled eggs or can you use an old one? - a fan
Great vid. What glue is that please? I’d like to get the same one.
My hammi Crumbs loves ripping apart and shredding cardboard.
So any of these will get ruined in a second.
I'll still make the forage board that seems fun!
God tier video
Hi Erin, I have a question I'm afraid to ask. My hamster recently passed away and I have done a lot of toys out of popsicle sticks. The reason for her death was a rectal prolapse. In the region I live there are no exotic vets and I'm sad I couldn't save her. But I was wondering if these toys had something to do with her death. All my toys (including my other hamster's) had had and some still have tiny creatures crawling on them. I don't know if they are mites; they are orange and very very small. Everytime I spot one I kill it. I am only able to see them when they walk. They are orange and seem to "attack" my wooden toys (popsicle sticks) only. They do not damage them or eat them, but they're always there and I don't know if they are harmful bugs. My hamster lived that way 1 year and 10 months and my other one is living okay that way. But I'm wondering what they are and if they caused my hammy's death somehow as bugs can be dangerous for them. All the platforms I had for her and the ones I have for the other one are made of these materials as well. Also, they have never had itch or anything like that. My late hamster had a bald patch at the right of her butt but I think that was due to her age. She never had any problems before. I really want to know this because otherwise I will stop doing popsicle sticks toys and try to buy online since in my country there are no rodents supplies. Please, answer! I'm worried. The toys I have made are so cute and thanks to your tutorials I was able to; others were made up by me and I really prefer that over buying them but I have this huge struggle in me. Why are these bugs in the toys? What are they? Thanks in advance Erin I hope you reply!
They definitely sound like mites
I would stop using the toys, disinfect the cage and get rid of any traces of the mites, same with the toys. See if they come back after disinfecting everything including the toys and if they do, do it again and maybe change the type of bedding? What are they on atm?
@@C.Woodford Oh! So I would have to make new ones? It would have to be frequently, I recently made a new see-saw and a mite already attacked it! Although I killed it when I realized :( This thursday I am cleaning the cage because my mom is coming to visit us. At the moment she is in kitchen tissue bedding because I live in a third world country and they only sell pine shavings, so I have to do the bedding. What I have seen is that she's okay with the mites but I'm scared they may harm her. She looks kind of "weird" but she has always looked like that even when I bought her (the reason I bought her is that she looked very sick to me and her skin seemed irritated, so i wanted to "save " her, but it turned out that she was pregnant and her skin is naturally irritated. Also, she seems to be a fighter because she had escaped 2 times from my cage, and since it is in the balcony, she fell like 3 or 4 meters. I never thought she would be able to escape because the cage is really big (2 meters long and 50 centimeters wide). I also find it strange that NOTHING happened to her, because that's a really high fall and it would have killed her... I took some precautions and she has never escaped since. Oh god I wrote too much. I'm sorry. But I don't know what to do with those mites! I'm entering university and I have no place to buy toys so everything she has I have done it myself and if the mites keep appearing I'll have to re-do every toy weekly :( I can't even bake them because they popsicle sticks toys and I don't know what to do. She's still very active as always. She has been one year and 4 months with me.
@@Soveny1HaHaHammyx you could order some pet safe disinfectant of the internet or make your own, disinfect everything and I mean everything! Including the entire cage, bars (if you have them) toys, dish like literally everything. With the toys, disinfect them with the pet safe cleaner either bought or diy, and leave them somewhere warm to dry. Change all the bedding completely and maybe try another type of diy bedding just in case it's something to do with the material you use like if you make erins bedding then use another type of tissue. It will probably stress your ham out a bit but if it works then they will be a lot happier in the long run , hope this helps.
@@Soveny1HaHaHammyx also how often do you change the bedding ad do you spot clean? As it could be something to do with the smells etc in the cage that are attracting the mites?
Im early I love your channel and hacks your animals are in good care
Cute ❤️
