Someone I know got two dwarf hamsters and put them both in one critter trail deadass just gonna send them the link to this video so if ur reading the comments u know who you are and ur hamsters deserve better
My hamster was living in a super tiny walmart cage and with all the Christmas money I got I bought a huge 18$ bin at Walmart today!! Got 2 bags of Aspen bedding too! She is so much happier and she doesn't seem stressed! Just casually running on the wheel and eating her chews! I feel so much better too and no longer feel bad anymore!
I am planning to get a dwarf hamster on my birthday and I was looking at the cute CritterTrail a but then I watched more and more videos and saw how bad they were so now I’m researching on bin cages they seem to be a lot bigger and wayyy cheaper so yeah
Yay! I am the 100th like. I am also getting hamsters and found out how bad many things that are recommended by the pet shops can be really bad for the hamster ;-;
Make sure you do your research you need a big cage a wheel lots of betting like 7 inches deep research your hamsters diet. YOU THiNG A HAMSTER IS CHEEP YOUR WRONG A HAmSTER IS EXPENSIVE A HAMSTER WIlL COST AROWND $400 not including food and bedding it’s hole life! So just a warning. You commented 2 years ago so I hope you did all this! I hope you did research. I’m planning in getting a hamster and I need $250 for everything not including my bedding and food.
I just recently got my first hamster, (Syrian) and I didn't do much research and ended up wasting over $30 on a tiny tales cage. I then realized the cage was wayyy too small and so was the wheel. Now she is in a big bin cage with an 8 in wheel. Please, before you buy a hamster, do research.
I was Dunn and didn’t do research, 3 days later I got my Syrian a 600 sq. In. Cage and A 12’ in. Wheel and a bunch of toys and bedding, I fixed my mistakes ASAP
I heard a story somewhere. Not mine, dont have a hamster. The person had a hamster in an appropriate cage and their aunt deadass got them a tiny critter trail so he "doesnt take up so much space". They had a quality set up. People sometimes sheesh
I have been looking for bins lately to make a cage for my Syrian and on the bins I’ve been finding they have like a lift or on purpose dent so u can like stack the bins but I’m wondering if hamsters will chew a hole in it because of the corner lift thingy and knowing my hammie she might.
I love this video so much because I have a female Chinese hamster,Addison she is so small and cute she’s currently in a 20 gallon aquarium-lol don’t worry she’s not living in water, but unfortunately she lives near a window where it’s very buddy since a tv is near by, so I’m thinking about moving her to my room even though I have to make sure my brother doesn’t touch her since he’s autistic and IM SO HAPPy because I’m thinking about getting a bin cage like this one, move her in slowly then use her old Aquarium for my goldfish,Gilbert and Fanta 🐹🐟🐠
I live in Denmark where we measure by centimeters, and I've been struggling to find out how I can convert the size and stuff. But I did what you told me... And my cage was 465 square inches. Now I know for sure how to convert the size.
I bought a bin cage yesterday and my hamster (robo draft) loved it I made her a underground hideout and she is sleeping there I recommend to you guys to buy one mine is 460 inches of flour space and it is perfect
I advice making your hamsters sand bath bigger because they really need a sand bath so they can play, dig, flip and clean themselves up using it. If you give your hamster a small sand bath you're taking away the ability of them to do the things that they need to do in a sand bath. Instead I suggest removing a bit of the bedding in the side and use it as a sand bath, using the bendy bridge to seperate the bedding and the sand bath from each other and then putting a hideout in the sand bath. I also suggest not using the flying thing wheel because hamsters have alot of energy and run very fast so if they stop running they can fly off the wheel and injur themselves. Also, I'm not hating and I'm just giving advices 😊♡
You need a lid for the cage. You need to take the bins lid, and cut a whole in it and then cover it with hardware mesh. Pretty well any hamster will escape a bin cage without a lid
@@abigray23 he won't. Hamsters arent stupid he will understand that it is water. Even if he accidentally goes in the bowl (like my hamster did) the first time that's how they learn to not do it again. If you/someone is still worried then just make sure you get a bowl that is smaller than your hamster :-)
I've owned a couple of hamsters. Fun little critters. From my understanding, management where I currently live doesn't allow caged pets, but they allow dogs and cats. Wish I could get another little 'furball' in a cage.
@@Idk-iu4lw yes, you sprinkle all the seeds around the place or hide it somewere so your hamster have to find it and searge for it, hamsters have good noses and they can find pretty easely becouse of that. im stil figuring out how to do this without making the cage an complete mess, but on the otherhand, if he doenst use it as food you just are using it as bottemsubstrate. you can also put whole pieces of the plant in the bin and set it up like they are growing out of the ground. im growing my own seeds right now so i can put it in the hamstercage later. that way they have to find the plant and get it out of there which is closer to their nature than just putting it in a bowl. you can always conclude that an hamster whos living closer to his nature is happier in life. but you always have to take responsebility to reduce stress and dangers ofc, becouse they will always been exposed to it in that "little" area. so you have to be always sure first what you give your hamster! ;)
Idk hamsters are foraging animals. In order to reduce the risk of stereotypical behaviours, some owners believe that scatter feeding allows the hamster to display natural foraging behaviours 😌
I plan on getting another hamster after I get settled into school this year, I’ve always used bin cages as they honestly just look pleasing in my room ( idk lol )
My bedding is some kind of wood shaving but its totally safe because the dusk was extracted and the people at the place understand the dangers of wood shavings so mine is fine
I’m not sure if anyone will see my comment, but I plan on getting ONE Robo Hamster this weekend and I am going to make a bin cage (with at least 450 sq in bc that’s the requirement). My question is this: Is it okay to use a whole bag of bedding (the same size as shown in the video) for my one Robo Hamster? Will that much bedding hurt the hamster and suffocate it? Will it be very happy that there’s extra bedding to burrow in?
I would say you should have a part of the bin cage with more bedding for your hamster to burrow and then have the rest of it an even size so say half of it with alot of bedding, I think try it with not the whole bag at first and if it looks like your hamster needs more bedding then put more bedding in
I have too hamsters and i upgraded myself so ik its not the best but for 100 dollars i 2 110 quart bin so 600 sq in of floor space i was really proud i didnt have any help from my parents now im still 12 and i buy everything myself im still not done slowly working on making their cages natural in september is my borthday and i will really be working on a natrual look for both
I don't know why but I feel like ghe minimum just isn't enough for hamsters yah know?? As small as they are I feel like they should get a ton of room but at the same time I don't even have enough room for myself, I could make it work with a 55 gal in my room or maybe an Ikea detolf but my parents (can't wait to move out) would think I'm insane Edit: I'm also conflicted. I have never owned a small animal but I would like a dwarf but at the same time I'm worried I might not provide enough space for a Syrian
Heyyy you can you use chinchilla sand just make sure its not dust becaus that's really bad. And you can also use children's playsand, you can just find that in your local store just make sure to first bake it in the oven on 350f/175c for 20 minutes to get out the bacteria. You can watch Victoria Rachel's channel she makes a lot of videos about Hamsters and she also has a video about sandbaths if you have more questions!! And sorry for my bad English becaus English is not my first language ❤️ i hope i helped you out!
i’m planning on getting a syrian hamster tomorrow, and i’m going to use a bin cage just like yours. i see videos of people setting the lids up by cutting a big hole and using wire mesh so they can breathe. can i just use the bin and not a lid at all since the hamster can breathe better?
My brother and my mom thought that it would be a good idea to put two small cages and connect them. I told them I didn’t think it was good and that we should get a bin cage instead. They said that it won’t have anything fun to do like in those small cages you can’t even turn around. I am planning to get stuff for a bin cage tomorrow.
Just some thoughts and advise, not trying to offend at all btw. So basically the second wheel (flying, [something something idk how to spell it])you put can be dangerous because your hamster could run really fast and fall an hurt themselves. Also I would say that the amount of bedding is not really good, if you expect your hamster to burrow, you should have enough bedding, usually minimum would be 6 inches AT LEAST, but I think you did add enough anyways so ur good. That's all , good vid 😁
how about the top of the cage? I cut out the top o the container and put mesh but my hamster climbed on top of his toys and chews through the mesh and gets out
I'm getting my first hamster this weekend and i don't know if I'm getting a Syrian or a dwarf hamster yet so I'm wondering what size tunnel is good for both breeds?
Please answer this so I have a syrean hamster and do you have to put something ontop so it dosent escape? Because I want to have a bin cage and I dont know what to put ontop so it doesn't escape.
I really want to get my hamster a bin cage so that she can have room too burrow and have more floorspace.my mum bought her a cage with a few floors that im rlly grateful for but i feel like a bin would be a bit better but idk 🤷♂️
I’m trying to convince my parents I wanted one since I was little and my birthday is July 5 so I want to try to convince them to let me get one I want a Dorf hamster and I was planning to put it in and one of these bin cages
im getting a hamster soon she is not in the best situation right now she has like only 100 sq in of floorspace and a mini flying saucer wheel with no chews the only things that are in her cage is bedding a food bowl and a flying saucer shes a dwarf named lila but im gonna re name her sarabi and am planning to make her a bin cage and tame her also to give her the proper care she needs :D
Izzy the hamster as long as their back doesn’t have any curve (it should be straight when they are running) it is fine, however most syrians would need at least a 10 inch wheel, especially with females because they tend to be larger in size
I'm going to get a hamster but the only bin I have available to me right now is 373 inches of floorspace. I'm trying my best to make a huge cadge and don't have proper materials to make a diy cadge. Do u have any recommendations? I currently have 2 bins. Wasn't the min 360 not too long ago though?
Yes the minimum used to be 360, but that was found to still stress hamsters out and the minimum was then moved to 450, but it’s now being argued that the minimum size should be 600 square inches as 450 has found to be too small as well. My only suggestion would be to find a larger bin... Walmart has many sizes available
I just made my hamster a bin cage! I only have wire mesh on the lid. The bin is a 110qt bin cage, and one side has about 6-7 inches of bedding. But the only ventilation is in the lid. Is that fine or should I add wall ventilation as well? I’m worried my hamster could be at Risk for suffocating. Please let me know!!!!
I saw munchie talk's video about how bad the all living things cage is, I immediately came here. My robo hammy will have a happy life, if it's the last thing I do
My hamster doesn’t know how to use a flying saucer, I believe it’s because at pet smart they didn’t have one and he doesn’t know any better. Yes, I got him at pet smart. Hate on me if you want. When I saw him I knew I had to get him, he was the one. I’m not sure how to teach him. Could you please notice this and make a video? I know it sounds dumb to teach a hamster but there has to be a way.
Me: buys a lot of chew toys*
Hamster: CHEWS EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE CHEW TOYS.
꧁Gabriel Alvarado꧂ lol
Try putting a thin layer of peanut butter on the chews

Matreya they meant a cage from Walmart
Ethan McMillan yeah I reread it 😂😂😂
Very good and nice of you
Good job😋😁👍

Holly Maxwell thanks!!
Holly Maxwell I wish I saw that before 😑
Me: gives my hamster some cut up lettuce
Hamster: takes one one piece and decides to sit in food dish
Me:🤨 you are very interesting to watch 😂🤣
Caitlin Beseler my hamster decided to eat a little and then fell asleep with his face in the food bowl lol
Cubetrosity omg that is hilarious
Ikr
When I give my hamster food she eats some and then falls asleep in her food bowl and it looks like she is hugging her food lol
mine always sits in the food bowl. I'm like that's not a seat mam😂😂
I am planning to get a dwarf hamster on my birthday and I was looking at the cute CritterTrail a but then I watched more and more videos and saw how bad they were so now I’m researching on bin cages they seem to be a lot bigger and wayyy cheaper so yeah

I don't mean to sound rude, but doing research before getting an animal is kind of a given.
what's the size of your bin ?
Syrians need 11” to 12” wheels
I was Dunn and didn’t do research, 3 days later I got my Syrian a 600 sq. In. Cage and A 12’ in. Wheel and a bunch of toys and bedding, I fixed my mistakes ASAP
Dumb* lol
I'm getting a dwarf hamster THX so much this video really helped
This makes me want a hamster now:)I had a dwarf hamster that was the color of a husky
I needed this so much, thank you. Also you are such a great youtuber💗💗💗💗
I love your hamster videos! They are sooooo helpful with my syrian. :-)
Where did you get that water holder?
Its pretty NEAT
Uni Kitty you can get them at petco!
I’ve seen one at Petsmart
Petsmart and petCo and in you live online shopping amazon
Your vids are so helpful and ILY
I’m getting a Syrian hamster in a week I’m building his cage I can’t wait thanks for the info!
So I just realized this, your name is Emma Lynne Sampson and my name is Emma Lynn Thompson
This is pointless just thought I’d point that out
Kinda early! Great video! Henry reminds me so much of my hamster. Like, they could be twins!
I'm finnaly getting a bin cage for my hamster!! I'm soo excited... Hes gonna love it!! 😊😊🐹
yassss early! And your hamsters are so adorable! Ilysm!❤️
Also when you fill your cage up you should put some of their old bedding in so it smells like them if not they could get stressed
I heard a story somewhere. Not mine, dont have a hamster.
The person had a hamster in an appropriate cage and their aunt deadass got them a tiny critter trail so he "doesnt take up so much space". They had a quality set up.
People sometimes sheesh
Sheesh...
Great start! I would recommend adding grapevine wood or cork logs and some sprays and forage 😊
What about puzzles? It’s something no one really adds these days, but it’s also needed, got to keep them using their brains too :D
Like which?
That hamster is gonna have a great life that is a great cage!
Hi ! Your animals are so cute ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the tips! I just set up my first bin cage, I think it's SOOOO much better than any other cage!
I'm hoping to get a hamster this year and I'm going to do 120 qt,95 qt, 70 qt, and 40 qt which totals to 1,740 squared inches *if my math is right*
Jamee E square feet? That’s larger than a bedroom. Your math is wrong 😂. But good luck on your hamster! I am also getting one in a few days
I have been looking for bins lately to make a cage for my Syrian and on the bins I’ve been finding they have like a lift or on purpose dent so u can like stack the bins but I’m wondering if hamsters will chew a hole in it because of the corner lift thingy and knowing my hammie she might.
I just got one a little bit ago and I did a lot of research and I’m doing more
Your hamster is so cute!

i just got a campbells dwarf hamster a just built a bin cage and upgraded from a critter trail. He seems to love it soo much thansk for the help
Wow. I absolutely LOVE this video. She gives tips and facts and everything. 🤩
Such a cute setup :')
Iconic
I have the exact same water bottle for my drawf!
I live in Denmark where we measure by centimeters, and I've been struggling to find out how I can convert the size and stuff. But I did what you told me... And my cage was 465 square inches. Now I know for sure how to convert the size.
I bought a bin cage yesterday and my hamster (robo draft) loved it I made her a underground hideout and she is sleeping there I recommend to you guys to buy one mine is 460 inches of flour space and it is perfect
Awee great 👍🏾! How’s ur hammy now?
Shouldn't you disinfect it first?
I advice making your hamsters sand bath bigger because they really need a sand bath so they can play, dig, flip and clean themselves up using it. If you give your hamster a small sand bath you're taking away the ability of them to do the things that they need to do in a sand bath.

Love the videos Emma keep it up your awesome and amazing and I love the animals videos to 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My syrian hammy will climb up her water bottle and escape :(
You need a lid for the cage. You need to take the bins lid, and cut a whole in it and then cover it with hardware mesh. Pretty well any hamster will escape a bin cage without a lid
daisy chimbay since u can’t put on a lid with the water bottle holder I would recommend industrial Velcro it works great
use a water bowl rather than a bottle
woodsnhoods what about if he gets wet?
@@abigray23 he won't. Hamsters arent stupid he will understand that it is water. Even if he accidentally goes in the bowl (like my hamster did) the first time that's how they learn to not do it again. If you/someone is still worried then just make sure you get a bowl that is smaller than your hamster :-)
WOW THIS REALLY HELPED MEE
I've owned a couple of hamsters. Fun little critters. From my understanding, management where I currently live doesn't allow caged pets, but they allow dogs and cats. Wish I could get another little 'furball' in a cage.
It’s ironic bc generally cats and dogs aren’t allowed
“You don’t need a food bowl”
Me: do you not feed your hamsters ?
Some people prefer to scatter feed
Emma Lynne Sampson like what is scatter feed like do they scatter food all around the cage ?
@@Idk-iu4lw yes, you sprinkle all the seeds around the place or hide it somewere so your hamster have to find it and searge for it, hamsters have good noses and they can find pretty easely becouse of that. im stil figuring out how to do this without making the cage an complete mess, but on the otherhand, if he doenst use it as food you just are using it as bottemsubstrate. you can also put whole pieces of the plant in the bin and set it up like they are growing out of the ground. im growing my own seeds right now so i can put it in the hamstercage later. that way they have to find the plant and get it out of there which is closer to their nature than just putting it in a bowl. you can always conclude that an hamster whos living closer to his nature is happier in life. but you always have to take responsebility to reduce stress and dangers ofc, becouse they will always been exposed to it in that "little" area. so you have to be always sure first what you give your hamster! ;)

I’m getting a dwarf hamster on September
The only thing I would recommend is to put a little of his old bedding in so he can have his smell in it. Everything else is great!
I plan on getting another hamster after I get settled into school this year, I’ve always used bin cages as they honestly just look pleasing in my room ( idk lol )
My bedding is some kind of wood shaving but its totally safe because the dusk was extracted and the people at the place understand the dangers of wood shavings so mine is fine

Also if you have a smaller Syrian some of them can be in a 8.5 inch wheel but it’s usually not recommended
I love everything about your set up, the only thing I would change is add lots more bedding so your hamster can burrow

Omg tysm for this video! It helped me out a lot 😄
What time of sand should I use
Heyyy you can you use chinchilla sand just make sure its not dust becaus that's really bad. And you can also use children's playsand, you can just find that in your local store just make sure to first bake it in the oven on 350f/175c for 20 minutes to get out the bacteria.

For bin cage water bottles I reccomend using Velcro :)
I love your videos emma! Your awesome!!!
In the uk we don’t have good storage bins for cages :(
Jazmin Chubb I recommend getting the 160 L bin it is 105 X 50 X 50 and is approximately over 760 in.² it’s off Argos and it’s £32 x
Just some thoughts and advise, not trying to offend at all btw. So basically the second wheel (flying, [something something idk how to spell it])you put can be dangerous because your hamster could run really fast and fall an hurt themselves.

This helped a lot thank you 🍩🍩🍩🐹🐹🐹😊😊😊
This is so helpful
i am getting a 50 gallon bin, which is 855 sq in. i want to give my hammy the best life i can give 😊
She starts setting it up at 4:40 your welcome
What is that you use for the sand bath?? Can u eBay link me???
6:28 is where she starts putting the things in
Could I just poke holes in the top of the Lynn for a bin cage and leave it off when I am with the hamster but like at night I’ll put it on
i love to break apart the bedding
Where do you guys put your hamster's cage cause like my hamster is very noisy in my room at night🤷♀️
how about the top of the cage? I cut out the top o the container and put mesh but my hamster climbed on top of his toys and chews through the mesh and gets out
Do you put some sort of lid on so they don’t escape?
I'm getting my first hamster this weekend and i don't know if I'm getting a Syrian or a dwarf hamster yet so I'm wondering what size tunnel is good for both breeds?
A big one
Please answer this so I have a syrean hamster and do you have to put something ontop so it dosent escape? Because I want to have a bin cage and I dont know what to put ontop so it doesn't escape.
Do you make holes on the lid when covering if you even cover the bins? TIA!
I really want to get my hamster a bin cage so that she can have room too burrow and have more floorspace.my mum bought her a cage with a few floors that im rlly grateful for but i feel like a bin would be a bit better but idk 🤷♂️
What is 110 quat in litres? Please tell me because I’m in the uk and we measure in litres.
Nazoou i’m not sure but I’ve ordered a 160 L bin and it is over approximately 760 in.² and it is £32 from Argos x
I’m trying to convince my parents I wanted one since I was little and my birthday is July 5 so I want to try to convince them to let me get one I want a Dorf hamster and I was planning to put it in and one of these bin cages
Awe mines July 6!
im getting a hamster soon she is not in the best situation right now she has like only 100 sq in of floorspace and a mini flying saucer wheel with no chews the only things that are in her cage is bedding a food bowl and a flying saucer shes a dwarf named lila but im gonna re name her sarabi and am planning to make her a bin cage and tame her also to give her the proper care she needs :D
Where can I find the water bottle holdrr for the plastic bin?
8. 5 is fine for Syrians
8 is the minimum and my black bear Syrian Izzy actually fits perfectly in her 8.5 wheel but that might just my ham
Izzy the hamster as long as their back doesn’t have any curve (it should be straight when they are running) it is fine, however most syrians would need at least a 10 inch wheel, especially with females because they tend to be larger in size
I put my hamster in a big bin cage and he wags his hands up and down on each plastic side is this normal and how can I stop this
It's probably bored. Some people scatter food for it to look for.
I love it it so cute and good
do you have to have a lid for it?
yes to make sure they don’t climb out, make sure it has ventilation with a wire mesh lid
I have a question about your setup I have a dwarf panda hamster and I got it in a plastic bin like yours will it chew a hole in it
Is it good to add this on to my hamster's original cages just for like an extra burrowing place?
I recommend using velcro to hold up water bottle
where did you get your water bottle holder from please
I'm going to get a hamster but the only bin I have available to me right now is 373 inches of floorspace. I'm trying my best to make a huge cadge and don't have proper materials to make a diy cadge. Do u have any recommendations? I currently have 2 bins. Wasn't the min 360 not too long ago though?
Yes the minimum used to be 360, but that was found to still stress hamsters out and the minimum was then moved to 450, but it’s now being argued that the minimum size should be 600 square inches as 450 has found to be too small as well. My only suggestion would be to find a larger bin... Walmart has many sizes available
I just made my hamster a bin cage! I only have wire mesh on the lid. The bin is a 110qt bin cage, and one side has about 6-7 inches of bedding. But the only ventilation is in the lid. Is that fine or should I add wall ventilation as well? I’m worried my hamster could be at Risk for suffocating. Please let me know!!!!
I saw munchie talk's video about how bad the all living things cage is, I immediately came here. My robo hammy will have a happy life, if it's the last thing I do
Where did you get the thing that holds the water bottle
My hamster doesn’t know how to use a flying saucer, I believe it’s because at pet smart they didn’t have one and he doesn’t know any better. Yes, I got him at pet smart. Hate on me if you want. When I saw him I knew I had to get him, he was the one. I’m not sure how to teach him. Could you please notice this and make a video? I know it sounds dumb to teach a hamster but there has to be a way.
I got my hamster from pet smart too
Oreo Kat me too
I got my hammy from pets at home
I have the 106qt is there much of a size diffrence comapred to the 110qt
The water bottle holder ... where did you get that!?
How often you change the bedding
Love your video
When making a bin cage, at least for a Syrian, will I need to put a lid or are they not required for a bin cage?
whar are the dimensions of the box and how much bedding did you put in (i.e how mamy inches of bedding?) tysm!!!!!
