This looks fantastic :D. It's so wonderful to see just how far Elmer's come since you rescued him - he's definitely an extremely lucky hamster lol. Just a side note - I would be careful with the bendy bridge at 7:20, as hamsters can get stuck in the gaps and severely injure themselves (I personally know someone whose hamster's legs got stuck in one, and broke it so badly that it needed to be amputated). This can be fixed by getting some hamster-safe glue and gluing either some toilet paper/kitchen towels or spaghnum moss in the gaps. Apologies if this sounds at all rude, I just don't want the little dude to get hurt lol.
He’s an amazing little guy! Thank you for that! The bendy bridge when I bought it luckily I didn’t really notice there to be gaps however I did fill in even the tiniest of them with sand which made it only like divots as opposed to gaps where his foot or something could get hurt/stuck (the sand is super stuck/compact into now). He’s had it now since his other cage and I haven’t noticed there to be any problems. I also regularly observe him to make sure there isn’t anything wrong with his feet or anything since I know how easily their tiny limbs can get hurt :( Thank you for your comment and watching! 😊
Hey! This was an awesome video PF! I have 60+ animals rn and I’m looking to save a for my rescue so this helped tons!!!!!! Thanks so much and keep up the great work!!! God Bless Planet Fishness!!!!
This inspired me and taught me more about what hamsters really need. I just did a DIY hamster habitat for mine, all he had at first was those small cages from, pets mart, I am very happy with how it turned out and I know my little buddy is too
Some day you should make a cage for Elmer that has two bins with a tube going between bins to make even more room for Elmer to burrow and other hamster things ( I know nothing about hamsters). One side could be almost all bedding and hiding placed while the other could have his wheel and food and sand bath and water.
That’s a good idea! Some times I think about adding a second bin but I do get worried that some how he’ll escape if I do that (because of the connector pieces)
Literally just finished watching the first 2 videos before this and checked for an update and saw that you poste 3 hours ago. Im late but im glad that hes doing well!
I would make the area where the wheel is completely sand as robos should have have half bedding and half sand in their cage because robos come from sandy environments ❤️ and add sprays, other than that good job 💕
That's amazing, You did great! I would recommend getting a hideout for him to sleep/hide in. Since they are prey animals they like lot's of places to hide in. Great job for upgrading:)
The only thing I'd say that you should do (if you haven't already) is to fill in the gaps in that log bridge. You can use sphagnum moss to do it. His feet can slip in-between the cracks and get hurt.
Thanks for the information on the log hide you purchased, my hamster that I adopted came with that same log and ik that edible logs were dangerous so I searched for the Petco Version, couldn’t find it so I just kept it in her enclosure since it would be familiar for her. I will now be removing it thank you! 😄
I like the idea, but cages like this and the ones they are kept in while in pet stores are not good for them. I'd recommend a cage more like a wire one so there is better air circulation.
Actually you can make pretty good ventilation with a mesh lid like they had in the video, and barred cages often do not allow for the right amount of bedding unless you put something on the sides to prevent the bedding from falling out. In conclusion aquarium styled enclosures can do really well with hamsters if done right
What would you rate this cage out of 10? 🤔
prob 10
9/10 knocking one point off jus bc he’s probably gonna make all the bedding fall down lol
10
10! Much more natural than typical hamster cages. I love it!
10/10 keep it up

Thank you for watching and following his journey! I love when I go to check for updates on something and they’re recent lol
No edible logs they have honey and shaving.

How did you stick the popsicles sticks together I thought glue would be toxic for them
Where did you get the cage from and what is the demntion
This is perfect timing cause I’m redoing my hamsters’ cages today!
Awesome video, Kayla! The enclosure looks awesome! 💗
Ur cage is amazing ! , but i would recomend maybe a sand bath ? But its optional
Near the end of the video you’ll see him in the sand bath (that’s the bowl of sand beneath the popsicle stick tipi) Thank you for watching 😊
Thanks for the information on the log hide you purchased, my hamster that I adopted came with that same log and ik that edible logs were dangerous so I searched for the Petco Version, couldn’t find it so I just kept it in her enclosure since it would be familiar for her.

So lovely to see
lovely! but i would recomend sprays and forage from etsy! and rember to compress the bedding for stable beroros!
What’s size niteangel wheel?
the hay tunnel you have is safe its the oramge tunnels that are bad for hamsters
Can someone explain about the whole sunlight thing. I’m not really into hamsters so I don’t know a whole lot
Hey would recommend adding a bigger sand bath bc it is a robo and they come from then desert
yeah can u make diy video im out o ideas for my hamster freddo
For Freddo I must! Lol
Watching you now and subscribed to you. :) Your hamster is so cute... My boy has recently moved into his new enclosure he is in a 3st vivarium:)
Update on the hamster??!!!
Unfortunately, the enclosure is still too small with not enough hiding places or entertainment. I like how you put a large clump of bedding though.
Unfortunately it isn’t your hamster
A Friend ❤❤❤❤
Can you update your hamster journey
I love it
More betta vids plz😊
Just posted one actually :)
It would be cool to se a hamster craft video
Man, I wish I could get a hamster. Sucks that I'm allergic, they're pretty cute
Maybe you can get allergy shots to make you not allergic to them. I'm getting allergy shots for pollen to make me no longer allergic to it.
You should think of getting a bearded dragon. They are so affectionate!
what ever happen to your house geckos?

YOU MADE THIS FOR A HAMSTER,what a waist
Idk if hamsters even have waists 😅
It’s not a waste, a hamster is a living animal it should have a good life
Wow someone built you a house to live in… wow what a waste of space
