Thank you all for the constructive criticism! I will be purchasing some more stuff these next couple of weeks and will update you guys later on what I got ❤️
I would recommend putting some supports under the sand bath , wheel and playground. This is so when the hamster burros underneath it doesn’t crush her. I love that you are using a water bowl and water bottle for choices. Love the bin cage and I know she will have a great life with you!❤️
definitely agree! you can use niteangel stilts or dowels!
I agree with u 100%
Couldn’t agree more.
it makes me so happy to see hamsters exploring their new homes when they've been rescued ☺
I love your DIY hamster cage and the amount of bedding! I recommend adding stilts onto the heavier items- the sand bath especially. Also adding forage (herbs, dried flowers, dried leaves), sprays and different substrates would add a lot of enrichment😊 And your hamster is SO CUTE!!!!!😍🐹
It gets kind of addicting, thinking of cute ways to make their enclosures magical. BTW where do you find stilts? Do you make them?
@@foreverwander0320 You can find them on Amazon if you search 'wooden dowels' 😊
@@foreverwander0320 you can also buy or make platforms yourself
Would definitely recommend you watch Victoria Raechel on TH-cam, she has fantastic videos on hamster care. You need to press the bedding down to compress it when you've added the bedding into the enclosure, for stable borrows. Would definitely recommend you get some platforms for your heavier items (wheel, sand bath, etc.) You could also add some cork logs, grapevine wood, a multi chamber hide, sprays, forage, bendy bridges (make sure to plug up the holes with moss or paper based bedding)
I love how real and behind the scenes all your videos are. Im so glad you rescued this baby. Welcome home, Elm! 🌳
your set up is good. but it be better if you added some more hides and tunnels. that play area is cute but not giving a lot of enrichment and takes up a lot of room so id recomrnd removing, to leave more space for things like branches, cork logs and hides. also researching different sprays you can add would be nice. ones I can name of the top of my head are: oat, millet, flax seeds.
also some things to add for foraging are herbs and flowers. for those and the spreys, etsy is a good place to find them. also a good place for enriching and nutritious food is etsy. (sorry if u mentioned any of these things already and I missed it haha)
You can tell just how surprised and genuinely happy she is by how she’s exploring and doesn’t seem particularly frightened by having such open space compared to that metal prison from before. 🎉🎉🎉
When you transferred her into her new home with a mug I about died from cuteness
thankyou so much for looking after all these animals that need your help.
I like to use bendy bridges, multi chamber hides, chew toys, sprays, cork logs, coconut fiber substrate, hay, fruits, veggies, multiple hideout options, stands for the wheels, and forage toys for my hamster. Also, hamsters usually like to hide, so I like to fill up so space and make hiding places for if they get spooked. Your new hamster is so adorable! 🐹❤
If I may make a food suggestion for the hamster. Hamster are omnivorous so they eat both plants and meat. So maybe you can provide mealworms or crickets for her. I don't recommend dried mealworms because vicora Rachel says they are like potato chips for hamsters
What?! Really? I have never heard this.
Pet store said the same thing about meal worms for my reptiles, its interesting. I guess they're not too nutritious.
@@curse7469 the live ones are healthy because you gut load them (feed them veggies before feeding them to the animals). The dry ones have very little nutritional value because theyre dead lol they dont have the good healthy stuff in them
I love hamsters reactions to a right enclosure makes my heart happy!🥰🥺❤️
Your cage is great but there are obviously some good things to add but my main concern is the like play jungle gym thing we're she can go up on because it is quite high up and if she falls she will probably fall on the wood aswell.
I was thinking that too! Maybe add some of the bedding and such onto it to make it a bit more safe
I also think a bridge with moss to make getting in and out of the sand bath safer and easier would be a good idea. Especially while she is getting used to her new home I've heard of hammies that have gotten spooked by a sound/shadow and ran off a higher ledge in an effort to get to safety. Plus, all of the heavy items need to be on platforms or have legs so that they don't collapse if she decides to burrow under them.
This is a great start though and I love how you are using items that are cheaper, but still safe and fun for the hammy. She is one lucky girl and I can't wait to see how the cage changes over time.
I’m so happy that your well educated on hamsters, especially the good diet and cage :)
That’s a great cage for her. You are such a lovely pet mommy. She must be very happy to be with you now! It was such a joy seeing her explore! It is recommended to put some layers of hay into the bedding. Hay gives stability to the nests and tunnels. I also offer lots of tissue paper stripes to our hamster. He loves to collect them for his nests. You can also give her some hay and dried herbs to play with. We also provide plenty of hides, houses and cork tunnels for our hamster. You can also put some leaves and twigs into the cage, also moss and forest ground. I was also recommended putting everything, esp. the heavier items, on stilts as everything can become pretty unstable when hamsters dig their tunnels into the bedding.
Love the video! For improvement you can definitely add more natural elements like cork log and great vine wood :)
Naturalistic tips: get darker bedding, maybe something from the garden section (not sure what the us has) just make sure it has no added fertilizers etc. Cork logs, bamboo roots and wine woods are fantastic enrichment and naturalistic decor for all types of small animals. Seed sprays can be "planted" into the substrate to make it look like it has live plants. There are also live plants like snake plants and herbs you can use in either the substrate (if you use dirt etc) or just planted in pots, just have them on stilts so they don't fall on your hammy 😊 wooden wheels look more natural too, I prefer the ones covered with cork so the hamster has more grip while running. Of course you can have as natural and as colourful enclosure as you want, love to see another hamster in a better home ❤️
The dog was falling asleep🥺😍💙💙🤣
Her little handprint in the sand at 20:00 just melts my heart!!
She loves her new cage ans that's the cutest thing ever you have the sweetest heart Alyssa
so glad u adopted her ! shes going to live such a pampered life with u !
Cannot wait to see an update or this little one, I love how much his life has already improved 🤍
You could replace that platform where you put the water bowl with a multi- chamber hide and place the items on top. Nite angle has several different kinds of multi chamber hides. I would put it on stilts so it doesn’t collapse if she burrows under it ( I would add them to the sand bath as well) You could get some sprays and herbs for her to forage for. Thanks for rescuing her! She is so cute!
i agree!! thats a very good idea
She looks like she has just struck gold! Thank-you for rescuing her ♥️
It looks so good one thing you can add is tubes under all the bedding for more fun!
I agree!
Makes me miss my 3 little dwarf babies that have crossed the rainbow bridge 😫💗 their such amazing pets / best friends ! 💗🙌🏼
Love the setup, do you watch Victoria raechel because she has three hamsters and is amazing, she also has two rabbits and two cats. Elm is so cute 🥺 I'm so happy you have given elm a new home with amazing care 🐹
Add more toys. They love a cluttered area to play in. I also suggest milt spray.
Would put the sand bath on a platform as well if she burrows under it, it can collapse on top of her 🥰🥰
for there to be so much poop on that wheel and tube they could never have been cleaned. so happy she has a home where she can have a good life. she came out of that mug and i bet she was thinking "this is mine and thats mine and over here is mine".
It's such a bittersweet moment when you introduce them to their new cage / home. That sweet baby was probably thinking "whoa all this space to run around" compared to her last cage. It makes me so upset that some people aren't educated on owning these small animals. That old cage was so so small, made me sad. :(
It’s so nice to see that your hamster is going to have a great life in its forever home!
Hamsters aren't good climbers! Try taking out the jungle gym and put something else! also maybe put some toys in and a bridge to go to the top of the sand bath! :)
So happy you could give her a good home! I am adopting myself very soon!
Ahhh love the LOT shirt! 💗💗
My hamsters really like these dangly toys i got for them off of amazon. They are wooden with like a small carabiner on top to hook it onto stuff
One of the 'chew toys' that came with the hamster is actually a bird seed treat stick (a stick covered in honey and bird seeds....) So the hamster must have eaten all the seeds off and now is left with the stick
Hi Alyssa I’m a big fan and I’m just wondering if you can do a video talking and showing all your guinea pigs
That’s such a cute cage! She looks just like my hammie! I did notice that the water bowl could potentially be dangerous since she’s so small. If she falls in, she could drown. I think you can use a tea light candle holder since our hamsters are smaller, but great job on everything else. I’ve learned a lot from TH-camrs myself and had to upgrade my set up too.
I would recommend some oat sprays or millet spray you can get it like in store for birds but just be sure that it only has spray in it not like colouring
I really prefer multi-chamber hideouts for my critters! They usually nest in them after they find them and its so easy to clean without disturbing their food area. You might want to waterproof the wood if they pee in their hideouts but other than that they're great with it.
make sure to fill bendy bridges with moss as their feet can get trapped! id also add lots more enrichment, maybe a cork log and branch :) dont forget to compress the bedding, you might have but ive just started the video whilst writing this
also forage and sprays are needed!
@@qvurk i keep seeing people mention sprays, what are those? I know about forage mixes
@@kellykoziel1667 They're plants on stems that are hamster safe e.g. oat, wheat, barley, flax, millet etc. You can buy them on etsy, they're great for enrichment and foraging. Just make sure you do your research on which ones are safe before you purchase them.
Elm is so cute and I love her name! It’s nice that she has a bigger enclosure with more bedding that allows her to burrow.
I'd been wondering if you'd get a hamster! I love hammies. Also, I think it's so sweet how your dad takes time to help u with the bin cage. He seems like he supports you a lot and supports how good you take care of them.
thank you for taking care of the hamster💗i would recommend a bigger cage and bigger wheel💗
You are truly amazing for giving all these animals amazing care 🥰
Look really cool, but I whould add some more places to hide or get a small Multi chamber hide by niteangle and put the wheel on top of it . I would put some supports on the bottom of the sand bath and a Bendy bridge to get in it. Also I would check out Victoria Rachel‘s channel(on youtube) maybe it will give you some great foraging ideas! What I use for foraging in my hamsters cage are sprays, lots and lots of toys filled with food and we don’t have a food bowl at all we just sprinkle The food around the cage
And to wear down their nails can put rocks on platforms you can also put moss and some cork logs , you can check out Victoria Rachel‘s channel, on TH-cam, She has lots of great videos on hamster care and foraging
When I got my hamster (Humphrey, brown and white Syrian) in June for my birthday he went straight for the wheel, lol! Also we use the same seed mix. (Not pellets tho)
her little eyebrows are so cute 🥰🥰 so glad this little one finally found a good home 💕💕
I own this cage and my hamster has been living in it since October 2020 and I didn’t even start getting informed about hamsters and their proper cages til about a month ago 🥴🙃
Early! Been waiting for this :) luv ur channel Alyssa!
Why is she so cute?! Love her. Had a dwarf hamster once, super sweet little beans.
love your little hamster so much ❤ she looks just like my lady pepper.. your set up so far is great! definetly recommend a multi chamber and bendy bridges! also just be cautious of any height elm could fall from. dwarf hamsters especially are very prone to falling and suffering from neurological damage, so just be careful of the little platforms! everything looks great so far though!
I would also recommend sprays! I use millet sprays and my hamster LOVE them I and going to get different types. I highly recommend them but if your hamster is eating too much of the spray then remove it and only put the spray in the cage once each week but I really recommend sprays!
I was so excited for this video ♥️♥️♥️
I would get a another hide where she can hide and feel safe + some other enrichment. Otherwise i love your set up and Elm is so cute!
Tip....I made platforms out of dollar store metal dish racks and bendy logs for different levels and to separate things in my Rubbermaid cage. I could then attach the wheel and have a sturdy place for food and water
Also loving the voice over !!
I 💖 Hamsters!
BTW she is adorable! 💗
You’re such a great pet mom! Lots of Love
Thank you for adopting her and getting her out of that crappy cage! I'm happy you are providing your hamster good basic care and you have done your research :)💓 I would say that you could add more enrichement and hides for her to nest and hide in. If you want to know more, Victoria Raechel has good hamster care videos (if you didn't know about her already) :)
Never clicked so fast on a video notification 😂❤️❤️
Sameee
SAME
thanks for putting the warning in with making the lid, you really can get hurt making that take it from me, i sliced my finger and had to get 7 stitches and spent the whole night in a hospital ER. stay safe! p.s. your set up looks great
Something my hamster loves; I use shoeboxes as multi chamber hideouts. I also put empty Pringles cans that I cut the bottom off underneath bedding since my old girl doesn’t burrow (not sure why, I give her plenty of bedding). She loves it and usually makes that her little human made burrow. I just make sure she’s not eating any of the cardboard.
Maybe consider some smaller chew toys which could be added to the enclosure? 🤷♂️
Your dad is awesome!
i would just add some more toys and foraging stuff like herbs for enrichment. great job!
he is so cute espcially running on the wheel you are such a good mom to your animals
Loved this vlog!
Please keep us posted about how she is settling down. And would love to see more hamster content 💖
Love that she found a great home .. what a upgrade for her .. love seeing her great setup 😊
She is the cutest! I'm in love with her little face!
I truly love these videos! I am currently in the process of setting up my own animal rescue sanctuary and watching your videos has taught me a lot of cool diy ideas and ways to make my new rescues happy!
Zoo med Cork Rounds are great for natural nail trimming, I got mine off chewy for $10. So happy you were able to rescue this cutie!
Awww isn’t she just the cutest little girl she is so lucky to have u now!I love ur set up
Love your videos btw ❤️
if you ever make another bin cage try using industrial strength velcro to hold the water bottle.....if you use it you can attatch the water bottle inside the bin in easy reach of ham and then you dont have to drill those holes in the side but just a shallow water bowl works to
TY for rescuing her!She is so adorable
That's a beautiful action
So exited for this 😁
She’s adorable, love her, she’s very happy on her new home ❤️❤️
Another tip is for when u clean the cage u should put her in the one that was give because I mean no hamster can live in it but it's kind of a carrier and dwarfs are rlly fast so just consider it
u should put some sort of ramp into the sand box from the platform and also maybe outside on the other side cuz it seems to high maybe idk lol
Oh she is so cute. I’ve always wanted my own hamster. My brother had one when we where growing up. He was the sweetest little guy, love to be held and cuddled.
I just don’t have the time for one right now with the dogs and cats. But maybe one day I will have one instead of rats again.
Love how her cage turned out!!! I'm so glad you prepared for her, I would recommend you look more into Niteeangel items too. They have many natural options, also Amazon has tons of natural things (just make sure the ingredients/items are safe) 💜 Sending love and welcome home Elm!
That playground The thing with the stilts can be dangerous for hamsters, especially smaller ones. Hamsters don’t have very good eyesight so they can easily fall off of things and get injured
Hi great job!I would recommend a bit more bedding and a multi chamber hide. It is just a recommendation.
Not me jumping 3feet in the air 😂
Awwww
So cute💗🐹✨
Love the cage but I would recommend getting another hide and adding some spreys in the cage think this will make your hamster even more happy
Congrats 🎈 recusing Elm. She is adorable, 🥰 cute and small. Thanks for rescuing her so she has a permanent home 🏡. You are a great mom to all of your furbabies. Can’t wait to see her in future videos.
I’m getting a hamster and I want to make a bin cage so this video is great!
maybe the food food is fine, but u find the natural living by kaytee is great
She was like this is noce!!!!!
I would recomend you to watch Victoria Reachel she has soooo many hamster and bunny videos. She helpt me sou much with my hamster sou I hope you will find there all the ansvers for all your questions.
Btw I love your vids and I hope you will never stop filming them💗💖💜
Elm is going to love her new home🤍
Girl how many animals do you have?? I wish I could have that many babies
Add more bedding plsssss
You have a super nice Dad
The part where you were stroking her head ;u; and her little footprints in the sand oh so precious!
