    My Teddy Bear Syrian escaped sometime earlier today and I just found him under my bed. Almost cried when I saw his little ears under my bed. Hes currently in lockdown until I can figure out how to get him a safer cage. 😱😱

      @Lololozi 123 when mine escaped I took a big piece of meat and putted it in the middle of the room (it had a strong smell) and after 4 mins he came out running to the meat. I didn't give him any as it wasn't safe but that works too

      @starstardraws5910 Před 5 lety +3

      Do you have a bathtub? If so put the cage in there so if he does get out then he's just in the bathtub. Then close the door and you can figure out a way to fix. When my hamster escaped I put him in a extra bin we had (with his stuff) he stayed in their for a few days while we could fix his cage.
      Good luck!

      @@starstardraws5910 We put him in a slightly smaller cage that we are pretty sure he cant escape from, and then put that inside his bigger cage. It's like hes in a little jail. Tonight we are setting up his old tank he used to be in a couple months ago. I tried upgrading him and he escaped. That'll teach me to do something nice! Lol

    You can definitely dry it in the oven thats what i did. About 175° about 10 mins between each layer. Saves a bunch of time. The only downside is that it doesn't smell great in the oven. Other than that drying it in the oven is a good idea if you dont mind the mild smell

    Hey Erin! I have a tip that you might wanna share with your fans..
    I remember I once used toilet paper in my hamsters cage as a nesting material. She enjoyed the soft, cushiony material, but one morning I saw that my hamsters cheeks were swelled up, and had sores on them. I took her to a small pet vet immediately. The vet said that my hamster had toilet paper in her cheeks, and that she couldn’t get it out. Luckily, she recovered well. Sadly, a month later she passed at a young age. I just wanted to say this Just so nobody’s other hamster has the same issue! DONT USE TOILET PAPER!

    • @biktikz

      Toilet paper is completely safe for hamsters

    • @imogenlaci-mai
      @imogenlaci-mai Před 2 lety

      Toilet paper is safe for hammies though. That wouldn't explain anything? Their cheeks are dry (because it keeps the food they transport from getting wet) so how did it stick?? Certain types of safe paper bedding are literally like ripped up toilet/tissue paper but in layers?
      My 3 hamsters loves nibbling on their toilet rolls (full complete toilet rolls I just put in) and they use it as bedding.
