    Dude, can you PLEASE upload a 20+ minute video of your hammy exploring the place? Please? I love these cage-making videos but I really wanna see the hamster explore the thing!!!
    Also, are you willing to share how much this entire set up cost? I'm curious

      Well bioactive enclosures will have microorganisms that help clean up their poop, and yes I have rodents, which I do clean their enclosures because they are not in bioactive ones. If you overcrowd the enclosure then yes, you will need to clean it every now and then, common sense.

    I just want to say, I've been studying habitat design and this habitat looks absolutely perfect for an animal like a hamster. I know hamsters in traditional cages often suffer from stress and boredom, but with all the things you put in there for him to play with and explore, I'm sure he'll be really happy. And most of it looks handmade too. I love that amount of commitment for a pet most people wouldn't spend more than $30 on. It really shows that you love them.

      I don't know much about mice, but I think this type of enclosure should be good as long as you have lots of vertical space with lots of things to climb on.
      Also, mice live well and happy if they have a partner or two. Unlike hamsters, they are very social animals!

      LovelyRenn i heard from multiple websites that mice (if u have a pair of them) wouldn’t really like a space that big, because they’d be kinda stressed. It said their cage should be smaller than this one, about 400 sq inch. Is this true? Haha

    Ooh! I never would've thought to make a naturalistic vivarium for a mammal, but it makes perfect sense to do so! Adding a false bottom/drainage layer will help keep humidity stable and keep the substrate from molding. Also, if you add springtails and isopods to the setup, it'll help keep the enclosure clean and help clean up the hamster poop! Live plants are great for keeping ammonia out of the substrate.

    I'm currently sitting here right now holding my dying hamster Loki. He's been a wonderful friend to me and the reason I got him was because of your channel. He's been an absolute joy to love and care for and has spent all his life with lots of healthy food and a massive cage and lots of love and affection all thanks to you. I actually did research by watching lots and lots of videos, including yours, for roughly seven months to ensure that whichever hamster I got would have a wonderful life with me. My mom told me early this morning to come home to see Loki one last time. He's held on for as long as he could and every time I look at him he looks so tired. I'm sad that it's time to go but I also know that I gave him the best life he had ever known since I got him from a pet store. I have loved every minute of his adorable adventures and antics. One time he escaped from his cage because of a large toy and after all of two days he decided that it wasn't for him and fell for our bucket trap. I'm glad he came back and I'm glad I'm with him one last time. Thank you Erin for providing all your viewers with lots of knowledge and advice. Love your channel lots.

      Jerry Andersen springtails and isopods actually can take on mites. They also clean up fungus. They clear the waste your hamster or other animal would produce so you need to do minimal cleaning. Even If you need to clear the soil, just dig out a few and keep them on the side to put into the new soil or enclosure as they reproduce quite quickly

    I have three questions about soil in hamster cages.
    1. Is peat safe for them?
    2. Does it hold up borrows?
    3. Is it bad that they groom them self when they are dirty or is it completely safe?
    Big thanks to any one who answers :)

      @stubeii 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Chazzeroonio I can’t tell if it’s the enclosure or the cage you’re talking about but I’ll give you some tips on both! If you want a large but cheap cage try a bin cage or if you can maybe a IKEA detolf which is a little more expensive than a bin you can get at Walmart but it’s around 950sq inches of floor space and is only $70!As for toys and other stuff try paper bedding it’s very cheap and can last such a long time! It looks very nice too! Also if you have any trees or something that you know don’t have any weird chemicals added to them, then cut off a branch or something and sanitize it by putting it in the oven this works for rocks too (you can also bleach them) I got most of my toys from thrift stores and I also made some of them myself! That’s all the advice I could give haha

      I know this comment is old but no, I doubt it. People assume because its dirt, it's natural and that means you dont have to clean it. That's false. Its literally just dirt, it has to be cleaned like any other bedding. There aren't microorganisms in that dirt that just make hamster waste disappear.
