As always remember that if your hamster is a known chewer avoid using plastic supplies, for this particular DIY a metal container will work just as well for a chewer. It's also your responsibility as a pet owner to check all toys regularly (even if you have a non-chewer) and remove damaged or worn out toys so as to keep your pet's environment safe :)

you should make a diy cage and fill it with diy stuff only,including wheel,bedding,toys,hideout,etc,

@blossombuddies2875 7 лет назад

luca ghena yes :0 Even though I suck at DIY I want to try that for mine when I get one. Except the food and water won't be diy... (maybe the water bottle but the only diy one I've seen is terrible)

@emmyverse376 4 года назад

That's what I'm trying to do xD

@nevaehspets6551 4 года назад

Blossom Buddies make a water bowl. Much easier

@juied3082 3 года назад

For my hamster we actually made a home made cage using a new 3 leveled portable shelf then wrapped chicken wire around the 3 sides for 2 levels made a door for the 4 side and pull wood slices on the bottom edge so that the bedding will not fall out and we shredded paper as bedding then for hide out I used a yogurt container ( I placed the container upside down with the cap on and made a hole at the edge then put some "bedding" inside and lastly for the toys I took a paper towel roll made a few holes and I took flour and water mixed them up then put the flour water mix on a popsicle sticks stuck on some sunflower seeds or other treets Wow that was a lot 💤

@aprilrodriguez5874 2 года назад

@mohibmahatab2606 7 лет назад

i wish erin can do a diy cage theme.. where she takes ALL her diy things such as hideaways food bowls wheels diy toys etc like everything has to be diy but maybe she wont do a diy cage theme soo

@yourfavukrainian 4 года назад

good idea

@lizabeller 8 лет назад

I am planning on making a completely diy cage (bin cage, diy houses etc.) and this series is a huge help, the wheel might not be the best for me as my hamster are housed in my bedroom but the "silent" spinners aren't too silent anyway so...

@paulah229 8 лет назад

Genius!!! I love it! You are so good. I was in a pet store awhile ago just looking around. There was a family very interested in the Robos. I told them about my sweet Robo, Clementine. They started asking me questions. With watching your channel for so long, I could answer their questions and give some good advice. I told them about your channel and they were thrilled to know that there is such a great resource for them (and all of us). Thank you so much for helping us be better parents to our babies. ☺

with this the best way to stop it rubbing is useing 2 bolts on the gap between the stand and wheel witch gives it more spacing and it won't run then ☺

Use a soldering iron to make your holes. How I make my holes for my water bottles in the bin I just make sure not to do it too big and I've yet to have any trouble with a ham chewing through it or anything but I like to keep the water bottles on the outside that way I can access them without disturbing them

You can put anti-slip stickers meant for the bottom of your bathtub rather than the popsicle sticks. It would be much easier to use and more comfortable for the hamster too.

Hi Erin, is it possible to make a DIY hamster cupcake climbing toy? Like, with sprinkles for added grip? Like if you agree!

You guys can also keep the lid on and cut holes in it like the silent hamster spinner! It prevents your hamster from flinging off especially if you have a robo :)

@user-zz4hx8nr7b 7 лет назад

You could but if your hamster is a chewer I don't suggest it.

@AGULL 2 года назад

I needed this!!!!. I bought a 20cm wheel for my golden hamster yesterday and noticed it is bit small and she def gonna grow a bit. Today i wanted to bring back to the store but sadly she chewed a piece off, so i think they wont accept it.

@Arahhjj 2 года назад

Only one thing I have to say is negative but not being mean at all the Long bolt in the back that is long that you screw a nut on it’s too long because if you put it in a cage that long bolt thing It’s going to be in the way and take up some space in your hamsters cage

@korissasilver4381 6 лет назад

Turned out great ! I also cut out some cute wrapping paper in a circular shape to glue to the inside of the wheel for decorative purposes 😍❤️ love it !

@ronclark9724 4 года назад

You can use several washers or cut off a short tube of a plastic straw to provide some space between the wooden post and the plastic open wheel. A drop of mineral oil there at the bolt will help silence the open wheel.

@dude8791 2 года назад

I tried this and it totally works! Thanks for the video

@TheAsmrAddict888 6 лет назад

I love your vids Erin. They've helped my hamsters so much. To make it quieter I add a lil bit of thin sticky on felt pads between the post and wheel. $dollar stores carry them in US. Even if it's a lil too thick Syrians will wear the felt down pretty easy after some time.

@destinyreidel 6 лет назад

What did you use for the foot grips? If that’s a food safe container normally white craft glue wouldn’t stick to it.

Possibly hot glue? Hopefully the hamster doesnt eat it

to make it a bit quieter, you can put extra nuts where she put the first one to give it some more spacing between the wood and the wheel. hope this helps you all. and home your hammy doesnt start a fire with it haha.
