- Hey everyone! 👋
Today I'm going to show you how to make 3 simple boredom breakers for hamsters.
Enjoy and feel free to let me know if you plan to make any of these. 😄
I feel like I haven't made a DIY video in forever!
The wicker ball pack as mentioned in the video: amzn.to/3MTI6vd
As per usual, here's a random story:
Let me tell you about the time my dog assisted my hamster's escape.
So, for some background, three years ago we were living in our grandparent's house while they were on vacation because we had a water damage at our house.
We couldn't live at our house while the floors were getting replaced and everything....
Moral of the story, if you think the toilet is overflowing, check it. No exceptions.
Anyways, while we were at our grandparent's, I had my hamster at the time, Elfie, in a spare room.
He was in a Crittertrail back then.
In an attempt to make his living space larger (as I couldn't upgrade), I connected his cage via tubes to a large playpen he could use while I was home.
His cage was placed on the floor so it was closer to the playpen.
I always closed the doors to Elfie's room because I didn't want my dog, Honey, to go in there.
Well, the doors at my grandparent's don't close very well lol.
So one day, I was folding laundry in a room next to Elfie's and I see this little white blob waddle across the hall.
It freaked me out!
In top speed, multiple ideas were passing through my head, "there's a rat- no, a mouse?! Wait, I think that's a sock!"
Then suddenly I realized, "THAT'S ELFIE!"
I jumped up and ran over to him to scoop him up.
At my grandparent's, on one side of the upstairs hallway there's a railing where you can see down to the first floor.
It's a big drop if something were to fall down from there.
So basically, if Elfie fell he'd unfortunately have been toast.
That scared me a bunch to think he could have fallen.
But, I picked him up easily and carried him to his cage.
I quickly discovered that the tube system on the left side of his cage was knocked off, leaving an opening.
I always checked those tubes to make sure they were secure.
So I figured they couldn't have just came undone by themselves.
(Needless to say, I reattached them.)
When I told my mom about what had happened, she said she heard Honey bust a door open earlier.
(Our dog likes to bang doors open with her nose lol. She's really good at it 🤣.)
Well, I guess she busted in there and nudged the tubes off Elfie's cage too. 😂
She did a good job freeing him if that's what she meant to do hahah.
I put Elfie's cage on a dresser after that incident.
That was such a funny but scary experience lol.
Seeing Elfie's tiny body waddle across the hall gave me such an adrenaline rush. 😖
That's also the only time I've ever had a hamster escape, and it wasn't even the hamster's fault!
My dog pretty much assisted a prison breakout.
The end.

I made the second one for my Syrian hamster instead of trying to get food one by one from it he just took the hole boredom breaker with him 😂👍
Very nice ideas. Entertaining for the hamster and also very nice designs. It must look pretty in the cage. Definitely gonna try!
fantastic video with 3 totally original boredom breakers . i'm now inspired to make them all and see if my lazy hamster bruno will try them out .
Aw, thanks so much! Your comments always mean a lot and you say such nice things. 😊 I appreciate that.
I hope Bruno will like the toys too!
Such a cute baby hamster 💕💕

Im going to try them, my hamster is always bored so hopfully this will help
Loves these, and it’s a great excuse to buy more hamster stuff online so I’ll have cardboard to make these ;)
Hahaha, that's some great thinking right there! 🤣
i might get a hamster soon and your channel is very helpful and since i’ve just discovered your videos this is very helpful for one of my first videos i’ve seen by you and also, first!
Ooh, that's exciting! I'm glad to hear my videos are helpful to you. 😆
Thanks for watching!
@@Allthingshamster your welcome! i have notification bell on so i never miss your vids 👍🏻
i shall keep the watch out for overflowing toilets then
YOU SHOULD.
Hi! We have NEW hamsters ( new to us, young and living in their own cages in 2 different rooms of our place) and yet we're already thinking they need more stimulation! If the main thing about many of the toys is to get them to work / play to get to their food, how are we sure that they won't eat the glue that's used in some of the creations? ( I also watched one of your ones froma year ago that had some glue, so I'm just wondering).
Hello, that's a reasonable concern! Here's why I'm not worried about hamsters eating the glue:
-The only glue I use is non-toxic. If it were consumed in a small amount, the hamster will be perfectly fine.
-I try to use glue in small amounts as well as in inconspicuous areas
-These toys don't require the hamster to chew through them to get the food, so there's less of a risk of eating glue
-Hamsters don't usually eat the non-food items they chew. They bite chunks off and spit them out, or carry them to their burrow as nesting material.
All that said, if you do find your hamster excessively chewing on these toys (especially areas with glue) it's time to replace the toy.
Hope that helps.
Thanks!!!!
You haven’t made a video in ages! Are you alright? I hope you and your pets are okay ❤️
Aw, thanks for looking out for me! I'm doing great, Norbert is too. And my sister's hamster Kirby is still living life haha. To be fair, making videos took me ages so it's not in my best interest to produce more content atm. I'm just prioritizing enjoying my final year of high school, and other hobbies. ;)
What if the hamsters eat the hot glue
If it's nontoxic (mine is), and you use small amounts, your hamster is gonna be just fine. Most times hamsters do not ingest what they chew on anyway. They know the difference between food and non food, otherwise hamsters would have died out a long time ago! :)
Can I get a shoutout I am a huge fan
Thank you for following me! 😄
