Hamster "Kashi" Explores Her Rainforest Cage for the First Time! 

3;23 am in the UK. Insomnia . So happy to have found your video. Cute! :-)

What a cage like that be hard to keep clean

Sorry, but for meine from Germany it is good, but also negative things. The food, the drinker, not natural. The sandbath is too smal. Dont know how big the cage is, but what are these blue things? Is it paper or something like this? It ist very good, but you can do it better. In germany we have so good food for them, so you havent shops for natural food?

HoppingHammy is the redecorating to clean up her bathroom mess?

HoppingHammy what brand of sand do you use?

I feel the same way... I promise and I don't lie. We found a hamster in our apartment. I'm so confused 😕 he was just waddling across our floor. We checked with our neighbors. No one had lost a hamster. I was scared of him at first. I used my husband's gloves to pick him up. I soon learned he was as sweet and very adventurous. Where did he come from??? I ordered shoes from China???? So the running joke is... I ordered a hamster and got a pair of shoes. I bought him the biggest habitat... "Cage" they had. I don't know what to do. He chews on the upper level and has managed to chew thru one of the wires... I try to enrich his life. I'm always giving him a special treat, we hold him daily and put him his ball every day. He wants out. I can't stand to see him chewing and nashing on his cage. I think birds should be free to fly... No cages. I'm against animal captivity unless injured and are not able to be released. Look at me... I have a hamster that I have no clue where him came from and he is in a cage??? Did I mention we love him. 😕???

Terri Hester I hope you bought the hamster a large plastic tub and made a home for it, animals can live extremely happy and stress free lives in the right enclosure. They don’t have to worry about being eaten, freezing to death, or starving when they’re in your care. Whatever you do, don’t release the hamster, it WILL die

@@terrihester6356 Hi I just read this. If you read this.....are you sure he's a hamster and not a mouse? That may be why he was just wandering around your apartment. If it's a mouse, he could have been released in the wilderness somewhere, but if it's a hamster, hope you are doing your best to take care of him. I feel the same way about having animals in captivity....it's very sad because all wild animals should be free. Humans have felt entitled to do this to them, and I pray it ends, although this woman is giving her hamsters the best life possible in captivity.

Terri Hester I hope you got a 40 gallon plus tank or box/Ikea detolf or diy cage, if it is still alive or you plan to get one in the future those are the best options above the 450sq inches minimum

Lmao.. poor animal :(

TNF5 Merk Has I swear 💔 I need to step my game UP !!! 😭

It makes me think that it's rly good to at least have a cage)

Superhamster129 Me.. We can relate.

I don't get it. Are they supposed to sleep in a bed with a blanket?

Same way you clean any cage lol

You dont

@@Hi-bh8uv huh?

She spot cleans ^^ meaning she'll clean out the areas she pees (sand bath/corners)

Hireath Gacha and Games ?

Nofo Noa your dad’s inner softie

Even tough guys can't resist a cute adorable hamster.

Lol. I laughed so loud. He has heart though :)

Humans seek companionship

That's hilarious! Most military and veterans are animal lovers to the max including myself tehehe 😏 lol

Hello!! Wow, what an honor and surprise to see a comment from your channel! I am a fan of your videos too!

Oh, and thank you so much! 😄

antscanada was here

AntsCanada MIKEEEYYYY

AntsCanada I'm subbed to you

I felt the same way which is why I adopted one last year to make up for the ones i had as a kid, he's in a 90 gallon tank :D

Be comforted. I'm sure your hamster is watching over you in hamster heaven

Yeahh Coolio!

Same here. At 2am 😂😂

Thank you for this excellent comment! While I can understand that many people may want to minimize the work involved in caring for a pet, perhaps a pet isn't right to acquire if cleaning is that big of an issue to deal with. I also think many here might be pleasantly surprised to know that this cage is not as difficult to maintain as it might seem. :) Spot cleaning helps keep it under control, and the larger the cage, the longer it takes for a hamster to dirty it. In any case, it's every bit worth the work to see Kashi living a good life and enjoying herself. **EDIT:** Hello again all! I would like to add to the first part of this comment. I apologize if my wording sounded like I was being stuck up or on my "high horse," as a few of the comments have mentioned. That was not my intent and I should have written a better explanation to you all. I understand there are a lot of questions about cleaning this cage, so I'll try to answer them and will also attempt to answer them in an upcoming video. :) Again I apologize for how my comment might have come across. INFO: 1. Cleaning a cage this size is not the same as cleaning a small cage. The smaller the cage, the faster it gets dirty and the more often it needs cleaning. This cage only needs a bedding change about every 5-6 months, and even then it is just a partial change. 2. A hamster's tidiness can determine the work required for cleaning. For hamsters who pee and poop anywhere and everywhere, the cage will need cleaning more often. Kashi is very tidy and keeps her mess to only a couple of spots. This means the rest of the cage stays clean and dry. 3. Aspen bedding mixed with hay helps keep the cage smelling fresh. If ever I feel like it doesn't smell fresh, I will look around for areas that might need new bedding and also sprinkle some fresh hay to smell nice. 4. It isn't necessary to have a cage this size for your hamster if you don't wish to, and I'd like to clarify that you are NOT a bad pet owner if you wish to streamline how fast your cleaning gets done. :) I do think, however, that some extent of sacrifice is necessary when taking on a pet. This cage does require sacrifice during large clean outs, but it's been every bit worth the extra work to see how happy and thriving that Kashi has been.

Yes!!!!!

@@HoppingHammy Does she only poop/pee in one place? (I know you say in the sand and eco-earth, but just want to know if she ever lets it go when she's exploring.) Are there any other cleaning issues?

HoppingHammy this cage is great and I would be happy to clean it but just asking HOW? Like this cage is great and I would gladly make one for pinto and furby is I just knew how to clean it without messing everything up? Your a great hamster owner and I aspire to make my hamsters as happy as yours

Or you have great empathy and want to know what type of animal you're getting and if it's too much work for you?

for a shorter period of time tho... probably gona die in 2 years or so

I feel you on a spiritual level

Well this hamster doesn’t have a mortgage so that’s Hamster 1 - Me: 0

nnptrs s exactly 😂

Yes. So true. Love it. Making others happy is a good thing.

XD

complete

Thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed watching it! :)

SigGuy 320 same!

I have had at least one hamster at all times since I was little and they are surprisingly good at helping you out on a hard day, whether it be their infinite curiosity or their wacky spasticness, it can help lift you up when you're feeling down. And if you get lucky enough to find one who is personable, you can hold them frequently and they'll sleep inside your shirt and stuff, which is super adorable.

I love her dedication and love for her hamster. I aspire to this.

Haha!! It was a very exciting moment, having built the cage so long ago and finally putting a hamster in it! :) :)

Yes its insane and I don't think most viewers see the irony there.

I'm so happy you smiled and enjoyed watching little Kashi! :)

Thank you so much Donna! :) It has taken a lot of research and planning to learn about different supplies and how they can be incorporated into a hamster cage. It was a lot of fun to set up though, and yes Kashi seems to really love it!

I had the exact same hamster color She died of tumors ;_;

Reeno I had hamsters as a child and as an adult. Their natural habitat is the desert. My sister studied biology and she had a tank just half filled with sand, she would let her hamsters play in there and they would dig and dig and burrow to their hearts content. But they didn't sleep there,, because how would you clean that? I'm not sure how anyone would clean this jungle habitat either, although it does look fun as long as everything is safe and edible.

Recovering Soul Different hamster species come from different environments. Maybe some hamster species live in the desert, but we have wild hamsters in Europe, and we most certainly do not have deserts for them.

LITERALLY LOOK

She did! 😊

Yeap. You were right

She did! Kind of..?

She tried her best! I was brought here by her love for the video!

I'm so happy you enjoyed watching her explore! :)

Thank you! :) I've been inspired by many of the natural cages that others have made, and I did want to bring more "nature" into my office too! It's fun to put on rainforest ambient sounds and pretend that she is in the great outdoors!

Same here

@@nkosinathincobela5902 me too!

Life would be shorter, but better!

Thank you very much! :)

dance fly Do iit! just do it!

Lori’s Hartland hi I love your videos

Thank you! There are a lot of other really amazing pet owners out there too! :) There's so many who are doing their best and pouring their heart and love into their pets. ❤️ It's inspiring to me!

Thank you for your incredibly sweet comment!! :) She really does seem to enjoy the cage, which made all the work worth it! I feel lucky to have her too.

OMG MY TWO FAV RU-vidRS TALKING TOGETHER!!!!

Kj Wozniak same omg!!!

Mark S youd only have to do spot cleaning and regular cleaning of where she sleeps so virtually its not that much.

The Coyle Life Don’t feel bad man. Not everyone can afford a cage this big, it’s understandable

If u cant dont buy an animal

He had a loving owner. He probably didn't care cuz he didn't know there was another lifestyle.

Busfahrer Detlev she didnt know at the time!

Hehe okay, I will be sure to do another cage tour in future! Thank you SO much!
