GUYSSSS I'm aware this looks like it's filmed on a potato, I accidentally filmed it on the wrong settings oops. I'd usually refilm it when that happens, but I wanted my reactions to the cages / pictures to be genuine so I kept it, but it's still annoying me, sorry!
I use branches from apple trees for my rats cage :) Also great is hazelnut, pear, blueberry and poplar. Please never use cherry trees or plum trees because of the hydrocyacid in them :)
The buried tunnel with the moss on the top and in it reminded me immediately of a Hobbit hole! If I do a naturalistic set up when I get my mouse a bigger enclosure I would definitely do something like that! Especially Because his name is Pippin from LOTR!
Be careful with putting bendy bridges on their side, hamsters have been getting stuck in the gaps. In the hamster community, we've seen owners have to amputate the leg off or induce euthanasia. So now we fill the gaps with glue to prevent injury.
@@Itsashleynicolee you can also fill the gaps with sphagnum moss so you can reuse the bridges in different shapes whereas with the glue some animals may chew it and that's not great.
aaahhH!! ive been getting tree logs and branches for my hamster and my two mice and i put their food around it to encourage foraging!!!! its a super great way to stimulate your pet and it even gives them something to do. i love owning rodents so much, they r my babies
@@awhparisuwu noooooo, do not use Aspen shavings, they'll just sink straight through it, they need a paper based bedding or something safe and practical
Tiny Adventures you can use it for to make it natrual, but I’m not saying I recommend it for your whole cage. Maybe just a part of it so it can be natrual.
You can look in to some reptile "logs", small animal willow hides, store-bought pinecone chews, apple orchard sticks, hanging natural chews, Reptile sand (make sure it's all natural with no calcium and dyes), and hay and hay hides
I saw the naturalistic backround she was talking about in maxi pet . Idk if its in ur country, its kinda like petsmart just its completley dedicated to bunnyes, mice,hamsters and fish. Anyway for whoever is looking for that background the price for it its around 20$
Well done. Very strong presentation you are a good speaker and have a nice way of guiding us through the cage while showcasing the reasons why you have selected each. I’m so looking forward to seeing how the cage evolves. Make sure to enjoy it to the max. 👍🏼🌈
It does seem the first enclosure does have a too small of a wheel. Not the big one, the very tiny one under the metal platform. ;-; It looks like one of the wheels that come with critter trails... you can get a sorta good look at the wheel at 3:04 in the video
I use straight up soil that is organic, I use one of those half cut cork logs for a entrance and plant cat grass and wheat grass to help keep the soil together. Pikachu loves it he digs multi chamber burrows and tunnels. you do need to let the soil dry up a bit and you can water the grass with a mist bottle. I want to build him a bigger one. and before I get hate, He dose have a whole other box connected with the plastic tubes to another box that is all bedding.. its two diy big enclosures the biggest plastic ones. =)
Not sure if this is ok for mice but they sell really cheap millet spays in wilkos (in the bird section) if that helps. I’m not sure about oat sprays etc though. Might be able to get some on amazon/eBay? Love your mice vids ❣️❣️❣️
Has anybody done a bio active cage for their rats? I want to try a naturalistic/bioactive cage when I get more rats but I’ve only really seen it for mice and hamsters. Anyone have any tips?
I am someone who really enjoys native aquariums (diff than hamsters for sure but, related lol) and the big issue with it is that it isn't really a true environment for the fish unless they're native fish too. Another issue is realistically I would probably only use this for bait fish unless there was a wild specimen I caught and couldn't release back or eat. Because honestly going thru all the work to make the tank native and maybe some naturalized stuff feels superficial if not for the creatures enjoying it
I'm not sure if you will see this but kennel gate sell millet sprays if you ask an employee they get them out from the back and 1 small one costs me around 5p. My hamster loves them :)
I love animals and I love naturalistic setups ,I own a syrian hamster daisy and she has a german themed hamster cage !good video by the way, and nice cages .
Another amazing video again. This channel really inspired me to make my own channel, thank you so much. I will make a video soon on my hamster Send love and support from🇵🇭🐈
3:19 I've seen a lot of hanging stuff like ropes etc but never a platform! That's suepr interesting and a really smart idea too. So ya can put more stuff on it~
For my hamster, Yana, I use the pack of dill, peppermint and flax sprays form pets at home, It is called ‘nature’s carnival’. Hope this helps even though I’m so late :)
I know you’re doing this because you want natural theme in your mouse enclosure, but can you do something natural for rats too? I understand most things are poisonous to rats but maybe something that is themed like natural?
Can you have a bioactive soil with mice? Or would it get too gross and stinky? I have a bunch of vivariums/paludariums for my reptiles/amphibians and I'd love to have a trio of mice that are happy. Are Aquariums good? Could you use exoterras or sliding door enclosures?
You can! It might not be fully bioactive and they might have to have a full clean every so often still, you’d need Isopods to handle the waste which they’d enjoy eating but soil enclosures do work for mice and they can live in large Exo Terra or tanks ☺️
Hi. I’m really into animals and would love to be a trainer as a career. What are my options in terms of what credentials I would need and how to get them, and what sort of positions would pay the most.
These enclosures look great, but the enclosures with the lights worry me. Mice are excellent climbers and chewers and nobody can monitor their mice all day every day. Please guys, do not put electricity inside the enclosure.
I might have found a website that has the stuff you’re looking for it’s called: drd rodent shop. You can also use this link: www.drdknaagdierwinkel.nl/en/ I hope this helps!
I have a blind rat and I set the cage up just like for the others. He’s good at using his other senses to get around, I keep the free roam all in the same place so he doesn’t get confused though!
Hello there so I had an mice right now I I have an BAD cage so if please someone to please to give any good cages that you don’t want because my dad won’t let me buy an bigger cage pls! Before my mice dies and it’s not actually a joke it’s not please

Use a lab block instead. Homemade mixes aren't nutritionally complete which is very important for rats. Lab blocks are kibble, makes sure the rat is eating all of it and not just picking out its favorite. Oxbow and Mazuri are great, if you're outside the US a good brand is Science Selective.

I use Apple tree sticks
Are apple sticks safe for hansters as well? I'm trying to do a naturalistic cage for my robos (they're in separate cage BTW)
@@purplehorse2661 Thanks!
How do you identify what they are, if you’ve just found them lying around?
@@alinearonsky7171 I know what the trees look like? Also no one said they were just lying around
Apple tree branches are safe to use with small animals, and they're pretty easy to identify ;)
I don’t have any apple trees near me 😭😭
@@Emiology me too 😭😭😭😭😭
@@Emiology you can buy them
@@randomperson3712 yes you can
@@randomperson3712 I really want them but like to pay for sticks- 😭
Ooooh the first one is my cage!! Im so happy you liked it, thanks for including it in your video! :D
I love looking at other people’s enclosures, you are such a great video presenter
The_Blockster why she ❤️ your comment when I was first :c
LucindaGamerPlayz She doesn’t always ❤️ first comments! :3
That kinda rude of her
LucindaGamerPlayz How? 🙂 She doesn’t have to heart every early comment...It’s her choice
But I just gave her a view, like,comment for nothing and I was really hoping to get a ❤️
omg the toilet paper bottle bottle was genius!
Thank you! I use a paper towel roll because its longer, otherwise the bottle is too low/ very unstable :)
I would recommend sphagnum moss it's completely safe for small animals and you can usually find it in the reptile section hope this helps 😊
Girl you deserve waaaay more views, keep making informative stuff, it helps so many pets out there (including mine!!)

Memento mori friend!!🖤 Pippin is a lovely name
I’m using these examples to help me make a really nice cage for the gerbils I will be getting soon😊
thats nice, i see you are happy about this:) I will get rats in 1 month and i am so happy!
Pecan, Aspen, dogwood, and willow tree wood is safe! :D
Are spider plants safe for rats too? I was wondering if I could have one or two in my new cage, but I wouldn't want them to get sick from it!
Wow! These cages are amazing!!!! I love how they are so natural and have so many different things in them💕

What glue is recommended?
@@Itsashleynicolee non toxic school glue or aquarium glue is safe :) you could also stuff the gaps with reptile/sphagnum moss or bedding

Love it, I can't wait to see what your create for your mice.
for wheat and different sprays, you can go on places for parrots since they can have them too.
is it weird that I'm always re-watching your and tori's reaction videos? I'm always looking for ideas and I end up at these videos
This video is amazing! It is so useful! You have done a grate job!
Its funny... Every time I turn on this channel out loud in my room my mice come out from their hide out to play
😍 I really love these cages I might use for my rats but I will have to make it a bigger ❤️
That would be a great idea but as long as you don’t use a tank. But in a cage it would look beautiful!
Yeah definitely DONT use a tank
Marley Betteridge yep
Yep
Thanks for the advice!
this channel is so informative and entertaining
Omg Emi’s a vsco girl now look at that scrunchie😮
My boyfriend keeps telling me I dress like a VSCO girl 😂😂
Well done. Very strong presentation you are a good speaker and have a nice way of guiding us through the cage while showcasing the reasons why you have selected each. I’m so looking forward to seeing how the cage evolves. Make sure to enjoy it to the max. 👍🏼🌈
PS loved that their was a sister mouse in the video 👏🏼
*6:48* spider plant
... it's just a different cultivar.
Plz correct me if I'm wrong.
Correct
see I thought maybe a spider plant but it also reminds me of a dracaena like a young one. I can't tell because the bottom of the plant can't be seen
So cool JUST the thing I was looking for my rats and mice are now queens
It does seem the first enclosure does have a too small of a wheel. Not the big one, the very tiny one under the metal platform. ;-;
It looks like one of the wheels that come with critter trails...
you can get a sorta good look at the wheel at 3:04 in the video
She actually starts looking at habitats at 2:36 btw

I’m making my rats cage a cargo/camo theme so these natural cages are giving me some ideas :)
Do you have any tips on mouse safe glues or wood types if I want to build them hide boxes or anything?
Kent Maclure as far as safe glue for rodents, anything that says non toxic or is safe for kids!

I recommend Spanish miss I have heard this is good for hamsters so it’s probably safe for rats
I am having so many ideas for my own hamsters enclosure and mice as well
Has anybody done a bio active cage for their rats? I want to try a naturalistic/bioactive cage when I get more rats but I’ve only really seen it for mice and hamsters. Anyone have any tips?
Chewy.com sells oat and wheat sprays.

On top of that the need to sterilize anything you find outside to make sure it isn't going to breed a new type of bullshit in your tank lol

Hi! Great video! One question, how do you clean all of that? 😮
One IKEA Detolf takes me about 3-4.5 hours to clean and set up!
Omfg it takes me about an hour to clean my huge rat cage I can’t imagine how long it’d take w all those things and all that bedding
And it’d be so expensive with all that bedding
@@imhakks it does get quite pricey, but I buy everything in bulk ♥️
Another amazing video again.

It looks absolutely fine 😊 Emi would rats be able to live in naturalist enclosures too... I love your videos and mice too! 🐀🐁😍
They would! Some people use soil as their substrate on the bottom and it works well 🙂
I was thinking of using one way glass to look into my mice's nest.... How well do they handle mirrors? Does it stress them out?
Your the best mice youtuber!
Are spider plants ok for gerbils? I’m working on making their cage more naturalistic this really helped!
I think so!

okay but i love the one at 11:45 by kim😍 it’s exactly what i would do if i had a hamster😊🐹💗
I use a toilet paper roll as a water bottle holder but have to replace it every week since it is week and my hamster chews on it
Get some industrial velcro!
Maybe try spider plants they are safe for small animals ?
hi! if you see this please respond. I was wondering if you knew of and mice breeders in larkhill as I would like the best chance of tame mice! xx
They are Spieder planst!
These are amazing! How does cleaning work with naturalistic enclosures?
can you give spider plants to rats?
What would be the best way to keep the humidity at a good range? My mouse tank is currently at 32% humidity.
go to the bird secshon of pets at home to get some millet spray
Where is everyone getting their tank enclosure?

I have one
@@Emiology lucky I need one cause my hamster's cage is a bit small and he bar chews when he smells food or when he has nothing to do
Parrot websites will normal have them i also like in the uk
How and how often do you need to clean cages like this?
Hey I’m thinking about getting the same planetpet rat cage you have for your rats. I must have had it about a year now how’s it held up?
What's a good exo terra size for 6 female mice? I want the front opening and cant get barred cages that have a big enough door and small enough bars.
You’d have to go for the large one!
Hi. I’m really into animals and would love to be a trainer as a career. What are my options in terms of what credentials I would need and how to get them, and what sort of positions would pay the most.
How do you clean these cages out without stressing the mice & how often are they cleaned? Thank you
Once a month, remove the mice, add a bit of their old bedding and toys that smell like them before putting them back in :)
@@Emiology thank you
How do you clean the wooden tunnels. We got one for our mice & the loved it but can't afford to buy a new one each month, it stunk really quickly
These enclosures look great, but the enclosures with the lights worry me. Mice are excellent climbers and chewers and nobody can monitor their mice all day every day.
