Immediately made my dwarf hamster a puzzle toy after this and she loved it! I've only had her for a short time but I plan on making a lot more of these for her in the future!
Does this list of hamster necessities look right to everyone? 1. Wheel 2. Chew toys 3. Hideaway 4. Puzzle 5. Tubes 6. Good diet of fruits and veggies every day 7. Clean water 8. Time to settle in (3 days to a week) 9. Plenty of handling time (after taming) 10. Clean cage once a week with mild soap and water 11. Quiet during the day for resting 12. Healthy and safe exploration AT LEAST a 360 sq ft. cage
Wisp in a Bottle pretty good although depending on the species the wheel does have to be a specific size and also cleaning really depends on the size of your cage.
Not bad, but you shouldn't be feeding fruits and veggies everyday, especially in dwarves. Fruits have too much sugar, I personally recommend feeding them no more than once every two weeks. It's fine to feed vegetables every week. Also, you shouldn't clean a hamster cage every week, you should usually do it once a month at the most, with spot cleaning whenever needed. If you have a proper sized cage, you shouldn't even need to clean it that much. You probably haven't heard but 450 square inches is the new minimum for a cage. That's 80 x 50cm, a 30 gallon tank, or 110 quart bin cage. Always recommend you go larger, of course ;) Hope this helped!
You should not be cleaning the entire cage every week, because this can stress them out to much. I recommend every 3-4 weeks you should do a entire clean, and spot clean every day;)
I forgot how much my girls love the puzzle toys you make from tissue tubes! I spoil them with store bought stuff but the DIY puzzles are much more rewarding, especially watching the hammies play with/destroy them ;)
Wow, I love those ideas for puzzle toys! :O I'm always turning empty toilet paper rolls into toys, but your ideas are completely new to me! One of my favorite toys is very easy to make too: I'm cutting two thin rings away from an empty toilet paper roll, then cut the rest of the roll lengthwise. Now I'm covering one side of the roll with a sheet of toilet paper and fixate it by putting on one of the rings. Now I'm able to stuff the roll with all kinds of seeds and some hay or tiny pieces of toilet paper. After that I close the roll with another sheet of toilet paper and fixate it by putting on the other ring. If the layer of paper is thin enough, most hamsters will smell the food inside and do their best to get through the paper. If the paper is too thick tho, I have to cut some tiny holes into the paper so they can smell the food. It's a lot of fun watching hamsters diving into those food rolls, trying their best to find the food while struggling with the hay. 😁
Hi Erin! Love your videos, we're having a hamster for the first time and they've pulled us out of a few tricky places trying to take him and make him happy. Thanks!
I use all three of these toys on a regular basis! I bought a plastic toy for foraging with holes on every side. The postage was pricy but it was absolutely worth it, and he has it in his bin cage all of the time!
Hi Erin. Just wanted to say thank you for all your advice and helping me to make my syrian Cinnamon's life the best it could be. She past away last week.
(sorry if I sound like a know it all, this is a huge pet peeve of mine) Chinese hamsters aren't dwarves, although it's a common misconception! They are more like a syrian, and it's better if they're solitary :)
The puzzle ball thing I tried it with my hamster more then once then all she did was sniff put her claws on it then give up XD it had her fav treats in there but she still gave up xD
The puzzle toys are absolutely necessary! My campbell's dwarf, Chia, needs so many puzzle toys she gets bored so easily and ends up chewing on her wheel if I don't give her a puzzle toy.
My ha after became smart overnight. I have always given her puzzles and she has never figured them out, this morning I was giving food, fresh water etc. And they were all opened 😮.
what a amazing video Erin! I love your chanel loads and indeed I conform my bendy bridge obsession!I absolutely love the video as always!👏😊 keep up the good work
Thanks I'm thinking about getting a hamster and am currently doing a ton of research thanks for this amazing video and I will definitely be getting these amazing toys that you really recommend
Erin, i watched your puzzle video and it was great! The two i found most popular with my hammie was the one roll packed with other folded rolls and the ball puzzle. The only issue ive found is after a while she appears disinterested, because she knows exactly how to dismantle them now. Any tips?
I have had multiple bendy bridges, but my hamster is just not interested in them at all. Even if they lead up to a platform, he'd rather climb up the side of the platform than use a bendy bridge. He's an odd ball, but I love him to bits.
Erin, I love love love your videos, and you are just an amazing wealth of knowledge! I’m also pretty obsessed with bendy bridges, although I don’t have as many as you do XD. I definitely agree with you for PUZZLE TOYS! I’ve been making so many puzzle toys in the past week and a half for my rescue hammy, Biscuit! Love the toilet tubes :3
I'm so glad that I found this video. Most of the people believe that the wheel it's the only toy the hamster can enjoy but you gave me a lot of ideas of toys for my 🐹. Thanks a lot! Ps: most of these toys can be chewed by the hamsters. Are they safe?
ErinsAnimals, can you do more toilet paper tube toys or simple to make toys for gerbils/hamsters? This would be very helpful to me and I know my gerbils would love it because they have already had some of the other tp tube toys from your previous video and they had a blast!
hy, I had 2 bendy bridges in my hamsters cage, her foot got stuck and she died, so I really don't recomend it to anyone, but I really like your videos ! (this is no hate !!! really, I just want to inform hamster owners !!)
I’m buying a large cage for a new Sirean hamster I’m getting. In the past I’ve used plastic tubes to create tunnels, then I tie them to the inside of the cage and have it go somewhere. This allows me to utilize the inside top of the cage which would otherwise go unused. Why is it I don’t see tubes in your videos?
Wow, great video Erin! :D I'm always impressed by the quality of editing and content! This would have been helpful when I was starting out looking for good toys. I spent a lot of money on things I regret. Hurry it up with the pet announcement, will you? We're all waiting! ;)
Toilet paper tube and kitchen roll tubes are one of the few things my hamster will chew, so I constantly have to replace them because after a week their destroyed.
Immediately made my dwarf hamster a puzzle toy after this and she loved it! I've only had her for a short time but I plan on making a lot more of these for her in the future!
Got the first two (my little guy loves bendy bridges), now I'm even more determined to make some puzzle toys for him. Thank you!!
"Bendy,bendy,bendy,bendy bridges!" oh no its at the point that everytime i hear "Bendy" i think of Batim...
I have all three of these kind of toys and I love them all! I would totally recommend them!

I always watch these videos and I don't have a hamster, and don't plan to get a hamster. But, why not.
🤣 I used to be like that. Now I’m getting one. Tomorrow
@@mistymidnight4447 goo luck
we both have an obsession with bendy bridges XD
I need these for my hamster😭❤️
I love these types of videos! I can't wait until you announced what animal you're getting! xx
Me too! Do you think it's another hamster or something brand new?
BuckingHamsters Palace my guess is a Syrian hamster. Erin said it was an animal she had previously but hasn't had in awhile.
I hope it's a Syrian!
Officially PawfectPets I HOPE ITS A HEDGEHOG
Savannah Wike OMG YESSS A FERRET!!!!
Can you do a day in the life of potassium and one for each of your pets?? X
B Hattie Erin already did a video for potassium. Search it up. 😀
Am I the only one who when she's about to get a pet searches all through CZcams to find pet vlogs and vids like this

We once had a bendy bridge and my hamster got his leg stuck in the gap and broke his leg ! Sadly he didn't survive .
Omg thats so sad😭
@@isaoost1891 omg right :(

I know that I’m late but I’m so sorry
Maddie aw i am so sorry for your loss ❤️ if u ever did trust them again or still use them try putting moss in the gaps 🙂
I'll take a hamster this week and this video was so helpful!!
thank you so much for helping me make the best life for my hamster
Hi Erin. Just wanted to say thank you for all your advice and helping me to make my syrian Cinnamon's life the best it could be. She past away last week.
I loved the DIY puzzle toys.

(sorry if I sound like a know it all, this is a huge pet peeve of mine) Chinese hamsters aren't dwarves, although it's a common misconception! They are more like a syrian, and it's better if they're solitary :)

In my life I’ve had 1 hamster a few months ago, and I’m 1-2 months I’m going to get my 2nd and 3rd hamster I’m so excited
The puzzle toys are absolutely necessary! My campbell's dwarf, Chia, needs so many puzzle toys she gets bored so easily and ends up chewing on her wheel if I don't give her a puzzle toy.
