I wish you had displayed it in use by the hamster. 🐹
Unfortunately that isn't possible if Potassium isn't awake during filming
+Incouragd AJ had a hamster, never had that problem. He was very sweet.
+ErinsAnimals I would have, anyway, but I'm impatient. ☺️
Do you think I could supersize this for my cat?
No it would break
you can try, but a bigger version and a thicker string '-'
Use a rope instead of a string
A Banerji I mean, you could try but make everything bigger ( thick cloth, thick string, long and wide cloth, etc)
A Banerji anything is possible
My hamster liked to poop in her hammock so I had to take it out lol 😂
LOL
Lol mine did to but she also put all her hoardings in it too. Which was wierd.
Anna E.T he/she/attack helicopter is going to do that to make it more comfortable :3
I'm using this on my guinea pigs and just by seeing this I don't wanna do it no more lol
This is really cute! I'm going to make the advanced one even though I don't have a hamster (yet) because I want to make a pretend cage with everything pretend so they can see how desperate I really am for this hamster and how well I am going to take care of this one! I will also use it if I get a real hamster, so I'm pretty much making things for a hamster I might get in the future! :D
Itz Puggy good idea . me too ...
Itz Puggy do you have a hamster now?
I don't have one yet, my parents won't let me buy one ;(
Itz Puggy Same, my parents aren't getting me a hamster. All I can do is just wait.
Itz Puggy good luck:) just keep asking and they'll eventually give in
Can you do a diy burrowing box for hamsters?
There is one up by a CZcams by the name of vanilla ham ham or something
more tutorials would be fun, I dont really like that one they made IMO
Yea I have seen the one by Vanilla Ham Ham and I would just like to see another method
Kaelen's Krafts
Vanilla ham ham is awesome and all but some of them you just need different methods
Kaelen's Krafts she has already made one
Please can you make a easy level for small rodents
it is the same one. you just have to make it smaller, I have a dwarf too but she still likes it. just ask your parents for help.
Sasha B. Yeah I have a baby hamster well I don't have it but yeah like what you said just make it small
Could you use a clean old t shirt to make the "cloth" and the string?
I don't see why not :)
ErinsAnimals thanks! :)
yeah
That cute Cat yea
i would not I did that and my hamster ate it
I just hand sewed the advanced one, it took me about 20 minutes. This was an amazing idea and I really appreciate you taking the time to demonstrate how to make a hamster hammock! Definitely subscribing! Thanks so much!
I suck at diys and building stuff but I always do them and I’m always determined to make it good 😂
Erin, you are my favorite animal youtuber ever, you made me fall in love with hamsters, and i just wanna say thank you, i'm thinking of opening a little pet shop/rescue shelter where i live, and your kindness and love for animals are my biggest inspiration, thank you again, and keep on being awesome :)
did you do it?
Best video I've seen on DIY guinea pig hammocks!! Thanks so much!!
It’s night time for me but I can’t wait to do this in the morning.
I made one of these for my piggies and they adore it! Thanks for the diy, I'm sure my piggies would say thanks too if they could speak!
I'm here because I'm want to make something for my friends hamster ! I'm gonna meet the hamster soon !
Finally hammocks that use stuff I actually have thanks this helped a lot :)
I’m glad I crochet that means I have a year supply of yarn 😊
I love these kind of videos Erin I can't wait to get a bigger cage to put all of the stuff you taught me to made in my hamster Cupcakes cage!!
Make sure cage is 450 square inches or bigger!
+HammyNerd23 now i have a HUGE bin cage😜 but thanks!!
You could also add a bit of padding inside of it and it will make the hamster feel more comfortable
I'm really liking the DIY series. I love making new stuff for my hamster. That he can destroy.😂
You my friend are so Very talented I love watching your DIYS
you are so good at diys erin! I am going to be so sad when July is over.
GJ 311 it's November :(
I've made the Ikea Billy cage. Thank you for that super cool cage DIY! Im sure Coco (my hamster) will love it! :D
Diaaga my hampster is called cocoa btw it is spellt *cocoa*
because the 'a' is a silent letter
Heart And Sprinkels oh Nice, my hamster was actually called coconut but Coco for short
Tnx Erin i just maked the advanced one. My hamster Sneezy loves it so much. He is in there all the time.
thank you Erin because the hammock works perfectly! my hamster is so happy now thank you!!
The most basic knowledge of a sewing machine saves you so much money on small animals. It's amazing.
Creative idea. You always have the best D.I.Y.s, today I tried the vet fund DIY.
OMG this is going to be so good for my new hamster I'm getting next week :-) thank you
Excellent to see that woodprix has new plans what helped me save some money and energy to build it.
Cooool!!!
I love this! I just bought a new cage and I think my hamster will really like this!
heyyy, what if the roof is plastic? just wondering lol
Plastic cages still have bars on top and if they don’t there should still be air holes
Definatly making the advanced one!
I LOVE your accent. I rlly love it
Awesome. I have ferrets and their hammock is getting old so I'm going to make one for them. I love all your videos.
This is a wonderful idea and will last until the hamster decides to start chewing on the string. I wonder if there's a way to keep the construction really simple but use a chain instead.
I love you so so much!!!❤️❤️ you are a great you tuber!!❤️❤️
And this little hammock was so cute!!
Hey Erin I'm just asking can I use a clean pair of socks that are huge (socks that I just brought from the shop )
Lauren Sianyy yes I’m pretty sure you can (as long as it’s not too fluffy)
Such a cool idea!
I made the facecloth one but my hammy chewed it down so I braided 3 strings together instead of using one string on each corner 👍
hi, I made two of these yesterday after watching your video my hamster Vladimir loves it and made one for my friends hamster Maisy for xmas xx
Good video!!I ADORE,you're channel
now i will make my rarely seen Dobby hamster a hammock!! wasn't sure if hamsters could have them.i make hammocks for my mice. made 3 today :)
Is normal sewing thread (cotton) okay for hams? I remember that cotton is indigestible to them, or is it the type of cotton (i.e cotton wool) that's more dangerous? Also are there any types of fabric that might be unsuitable, like acrylic, wool or felt? Really want to make this for my future ham's cage so he/she has plenty to play with :)
My hamster loves your video
I am from Portugal I was wondering if u are in Portugal??...I am new to your channel!!!So far I love it
It's about 3 a.m and yesterday my mom said I could have a hamster and I've been up doing so many diys (toys, hideout, play pen, bedding, and now this)

Ashxo_xo my mum told me I'm getting it in August and good luck getting your hammy

Many thanks for this and all your other helpful info re hamsters. Just made the simple version of the hammock for our Syrian hamster Lily.
yet another amazing diy, made easy by you (Erinsanimals)! I watch all your videos!
I love your vids so much these were great ideas and this week I will try them out for sure thank you for making this video well all your videos in general love you
Will definitely try the second one 🥰
i have mice and i love you diys will have to try some!
Omg that's so cute! I just got a hamster and I bet he would loveee it
Ik kijk vaak naar je video's i love it
u r so good at them!!!😀😁
Smart ideas!!💛
Can I use yarn instead of string? It is just a standard white yarn that I would be using.
Riley Perdue yes probably
Yarn and string is the same thing
That looks very awesome as always 😊
These are adorable omg!
I need a hamster so bad :(
Me to
+Megan Sweet I just got one, and make sure to do your research on other places besides you tube :)
+Chewy Snickers YEP!!!!!!! LISTEN TO CHEWY SNICKERS!!!
+Megan Sweet Do your research :)
Trust me. I have done all the research I could ever possibly do. All i need is a hamster 😥 My parents are convinced they absolutely stink...
I'm going to make these for my mice. Thanks, this video was useful!
Awesome video!
I wish I could make this for my hamster. I can't because he's a robo hamster he's not in a cage with anything to put it on. Great video:)
Great video! I wish I could do this, but there is nowhere in my hamsters tank that it can go sadly. I know this is unrelated, but can you tell me your views on hamster exercise balls?
Very cute idea
i want to see that little ball of fur using them!
Are these materials washable? In case the hamster pees and poops in it? Also can the hamster loosen the threading making it fall apart? This is for the sewing hammock.
This was very useful Erin and I can't wait to make it for my dwarf I'm getting soon :3
4:27 that looked like my hamster
I love your channel, I am going to make this ( bigger ) for my guinea pig
Hi Erin, What kind of string did you use for these hammocks? Thanks!
I believe she used generic tan string. If you are going to do this, don't use anything with metallic or shiny bits in it, or beads. You should also make sure it's not loose or frayed!
o3o
Thanks Anna!
does this work for guinea pigs?
Guinea Pig Lover if you make it a bit bigger yes!
George Woodward ok thx
Lauren Coup mini pigs
Guinea Pig Lover , I was wondering that to. My pig wod love the halmok!😄🐹
Kawaii Panda most likely
could i use an old cotton t-shirt and some string?
Can I do this for a gerbil?
I don't got string ._.
blue Angel you can use yarn
Same
thanks this will defintily help
This will be great for my hamster thanks! 🐹❤️
Omg my Guinea pig loves this 😍😊
I just use a zip tie and pet it on his lid I have a 45 gallon fish tank we have a can that can jump up on the counter that we keep him on and we dont whant him to eat him
Can I make a bigger stronger one for guinea pigs
Yay! Finally a hamster hammock tutorial for idiots like me! Thanks Erin :D
Can you use this for gerbils?
Is it ok if the hamster chews it?
this is fun to make for my hamster! Its like a swing for her xD
Your idea very beatifull
I wanted to do the advanced one. When I heard “needle and thread or sewing machine” I was like screw that! I will take my hand towel and string thank you very much!
Going to try and make this, thank you!
Could you use these for rats?????
Runch Randa yes it works for any small rodents or a big one can work for ferrets to ;)
This was made on my birthday last year
Are cotton washclothes safe to use? My hamster's not a big chewer but I know that cotton in bedding is very dangerous so I wasn't sure about the washcloth. Help would be great, thanks!
hamster maze with toilet paper rolls and shoe boxes, just cut a hole in the shoe box and insert the roll and continue.
Do you have to use a wash cloth or just fabric
I wouldn’t recommend hamster hammocks since hamsters aren’t fans of climbing so this craft would be best suited to mice, rats or gerbils. They would also try to rip up the cloth to use as nesting. X Just thought I’d let you know so you can improve your hamster care and do what’s best for the animals ❤
Hammocks can be great for hamsters, especially those living in colder climates. They also make excellent safety nets if your enclosure has a high lid, this is the most common use for them and something we recommend. Hamsters are moderately good at climbing, while not as agile as mice or rats they still benefit greatly from simple climbing toys, too many people skip out on important climbing enrichment because of the myth that hamsters do not climb - they do climb just not as well as mice and rats so their climbing toys have to be simpler. We've been teaching hamster care professionally for over 10 years :)
hey erin, do they like swinging?
The first one doesn't look safe? Is it safe?
Can it be any string or a certain type of string. Can you use yarn for it. Thanks for this video I was looking at your old hammock video and I like this one better. I love this channel, can you do a robvoroski dwarf hamster care video like your Syrian care video. If you can't can you suggest a channel cause I am not allowed to be on a hamster forum.🐹
I suggest using twine because it might be sturdier than regular yarn but I don't know ask someone else as well
+Krénó Mc ok
i was wondering that myself :)
Use twine its stronger dont use yarn it breaks Very easily so your hamster Will fall
+h is twine sital string
I would love a diy tank platformmmmm
ok thanks youre the best imay consider u being my vet
I'm not a vet, please don't come to me for medical advice :)
Both my hamsters chew, but excessively? I'm not sure. How dangerous is it to make one of these, since I tend worry to about it? I enjoy making additions to my cages but I'd prefer not to risk anything.
Great video
I wonder if you could build a larger one for a husky... 🤔
I loved this, but it would have been really nice to se the hammocks hanging in the cage
