Niteangel Bigger World Large Cage Setup! | Munchie's Place 

Just last night I rescued a Campbell's Russian dwarf hamster, she was in the all living things hamster starter kit cage. I wasn't intending to rescue her, just to educate her owner & help them out, so I gave them a spare 10 gallon I had & bought a bigger wheel for her. Of course the 10 gallon was only temporary but at least there would be no bar biting or monkey barring. Then the owner casually said "you can have her if you want. I don't care." So I bought the bin from target with the purple handles & made a bin cage for her, & took her home! She still needs more chews, hides, & a sand bath, but I would say that she is pretty happy now.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate her and everything she does!

Cleaning day must be so weird for the hamsters. All of a sudden their homes are being taken apart by giants.

Not me getting a Kaytee cage ad in this video 😭

Carlos (hope I spelled it right) is so cute, and his face when you lifted his carrier up to the camera before putting him back in (24:37) was everything 😂🥺

Hey, don't feel bad about your height! I am only 4' 11", and I don't think I'm gonna grow much more. So just remember, we are tiny but mighty!

Would love more vids like this! Love listening to random chats like this during clean-outs.

I'm getting my giant enclosure today.

My hamster only poops in her house and only pees in her sand. I spot clean those areas weekly but I’ve never changed the bedding outside of her house as it isn’t soiled and it just smells like her- I don’t really see the point in changing unsoiled bedding that just smells of my hamster but let me know what you guys think

You posting this is awesome! I just ordered this enclosure and will be getting it next week for our Syrian and I’m excited but nervous because it’s so big

I love these types of videos. Keep up with the good work Munchie!

omg hi munchie! i commented on your last “setting up a hamster cage” video, and i asked if you could make more. and you said yes, so thank you so much! i love these videos! :)

I like how the hamsters popping his nose out while your taking things out like hey what are u doing lol

Oml your voice is so calming

Can I just say he is the cutest little big hammy I ever did see. 😍

Hi Munchie! Chill here from the Philippines! I would like to say thank you for educating noob hamster keepers like me. You just saved my pair hamster's lives when I saw your review for the habitrail crystal cage.😅 I bought a bigger enclosure (bin cage) though it still doesnt pass the american requirement of 450 in2, sorry we have a very small space at home. Sad to say, there are no laws here in our country. I will be trying to educate new keepers from now on (based on what I've learned from you). Thank you and continue doing what ur doing! More power to you and your rescue! 😊

Omg I live in Portland!! I’m so happy this breeder is here!

We are the same exact height and I feel you when it's difficult being short. I have a friend who's older than me that's maybe 4 foot something. She's been short her whole life.

Thanks for posting this very informative & caring video. It's much appreciated.

your voice is so soft 🥰✨ love your accent

Great video as always, my fellow shorty! But funny enough, you're actually exactly two inches taller than I am (I'm 5' 3/4")! I've always been one of the shortest guys in my classes XD

I got scared the hamster inside had died and that was because you were cleaning it but when I saw the lil hammy peaking out I was like phew 😅

Very late comment. You just saved me from being hamster less. I live in Oregon and the only place I could find were pet stores I could buy from. I'm interested in getting another hammy and didn't want to buy from a store again but I couldn't find anything and when you mentioned hubba hubba hamstery it caught my eye. Thank you very much for indirectly getting me another hammy.

I too am a stress prone animal

I love these little ASMR videos

I recommend using schreeded kitchen papper. It is cheap, safe and light

I adopted a winter white hamster a few years ago from Petsmart, and we later found out he was blind along with other issues. I had him in a 90 gallon tank- we bought the biggest one we could find and it was great for making a tunnel system underneath his bedding. But sadly, we ended up having to move him to a 40 gallon later because he was having a really hard time navigating his space. Very sweet boy, I miss him a lot... but I do wish they were bred better for the hamster's sake.

Lol when I met you I was shocked how tiny you were. Tiny, but fierce 😁

I love this enclosure! I have something similar but my Hamsters are NOT interested in all that bedding and substrate. She makes the most simple pile and nestles up in it. My male prefers more bedding but even he would waste that much. I started with TONS of bedding when I first got them but now I'm down to about half as much. I find it fascinating (although not surprising) that they all have different personalities and preferences.

Awww 🥰 he’s such a cutie.

I sometimes put the lab-block half of their food in a dish and scatter the Higgins.

can you do a video about when and what kind of fresh fruits and veggies to give your hamsters and gerbils.

Carlos is such a fluffy bean

Hi I love your channel you work so hard😊💜❤️

MUNCHIEEEE I MISSED WATCHING UR CHANEL

Love this video! Question: at 27:32 he looked as if he may want to jump down from that height. I was wondering if he naturally would want to jump down? If he tries will he get hurt? Super cute lil guy 🥺

I’m a male! Hey Munchie! 🧡

Hi Hamster friends, I got a hamster a couple of months ago, I got him at 5 weeks old and was told he was a girl, turns out that he is a boy. I’ve had him for two months now and he seems so scared when I try to touch him to start taming. He comes out when he hears me talking or when I feed him, I was wondering what are some tips for taming him. I’ve tried the treat in my hand trick and just leaving my hand near him to smell, but nothing has really changed. I do know that some hamsters just don’t ever want to be handled or messed with, does he sound like that? Should I give up trying to tame him? Because I don’t want to stress him out. Thank for the help!

I seen the video of the cage set up was wondering where it is from ?

Can you do a video on what spot cleaning is, and how often to spot clean vs deep cleaning? I have 2 female gerbils in a 40 gallon and I really don't know how often to clean. Thank you!

Hi Munchie! ( Or whoever can answer this) My Syrian hamster Maple is going to be one in May I'm pretty sure, and she doesn't really like to burrow! When I clean her cage and refluff the bedding, she will make a burrow to go sleep and asides that she doesn't!! I have made her a multi chamber sort of hideout, I have given her plenty of hides it different shapes and sizes, 8+ inches of bedding, and still nothing. Can someone give me advice?

Love this video 🐹💞

i wish I could get u to decorate my enclosure I’m so bad at interior design LOL- maybe I’ll just copy this exact cage

Carefresh gets really stinky really fast. I just keep a handful of bedding for the hide and another to sprinkle around the rest of the enclosure.

When i clean out my hamsters cage (which is about 75x45cm, 540sq?) which literally only happens once in 1.5 months, i keep around 40% of the "cleaner" bedding (like how you explained). However, I use wood based bedding, so it doesn't suck up scent the way paper bedding does. But if its really "stale" it will actually smell like your hamster a little bit! But it won't stink, unless the hamster pees on the wood, then it will stink until it dries up

Who else was just thinking she should get a bigger dustpan

During cleanings, is it okay to be rinsing or washing the cage?

I put food in a bowl and scatter feed treats and herbs as well

I just got an ethically bred hamster finally. It’s like night and day the differences between him and my store bought hamster. My new guy is 2 months old and already bigger than my 7 month old Syrian. He’s used to me and loves being held. Meanwhile my other little guy runs and hides at the slightest move 😞

how many sq inches of floor space does this enclosure have? it’s lovely ☺️

More Carlos!

Curious if the American Hamster Society has happened yet!! I just took in a WW Dwarf and have been following you & Victoria Raechel for tips. I’ve learned SO much from y’all. Moon’s medium size Niteangel should come today (fingers crossed!)

I also feel like carefresh is kind of too hard. But I have found at Petco, they are store brand generic carefresh is the same kind of consistency but it's not as hard and chunky as carefresh like it's more fluffy. I'm really liking that right now

UTI’s happen more in human women then men, one reason being that men have a longer “tube” as you were calling it and have to build up force to urinate. This allows them to clear the exit of any “debris” that might be there. While most women do not have that force and the distance to reach their bladder is shorter. So of course there are many ways we can get a UTI. I feel it’s the same issue for other species. However, prostate issues occur more readily in males, which can manifest as constant UTI’s before the prostate issues arise. This has happened to my 9year old Doxie who gets UTIs a lot, so much so the last time saw the infection make its way to his heart (He’s good now, but on heart medication). I think we see the health issues happening more because their lives are so much shorter, so that is probably why we see there’s health problems crop up. Since in the wild they might not live as long as they do in captivity.

I had a question, I recently got a female guinea pig and plan on getting a second one what is a good size cage and what brand of cage is good keep them in? I want them to have enough space to run around and play

I am the same hight... I completely understand the life of being short !

I really want a hamster but in south africa its really difficult to find appropriate cages for an affordable amount of money so I won't get one because I dont want them to suffer in a small cage

What do you have under the cage for the stand???

small people helping small animals

Beautiful

I have 4 dwarf hamsters (2 male 2 female, all kept in separate bins) & yes I’ve noticed males have a lot more odor than females. I use the extreme odor control kaytee bedding with aspen shavings in the male’s bins & it helps

I get allergies from aspen bedding :( I’m so sad because that’s the only other bedding you could use that’s not paper.. so I have to figure out a different bedding solution. Any suggestions?

can i check how long do you deep clean the cage ?

Love ya munchie!

I’ve looked for one of those tables your water bottles on it’s been driving me crazy I can’t find one

What's best for robo hamster for his house a tank or making a tote him I have him in a tank right now but inside is cracked some how so I have to make a decision fast help please

I just don't get how you would do a deep clean on an enclosure with the animal in it? Maybe spot cleaning you could leave them in but not so much a deep clean? Either way there may be some stress, sometimes we have to stress out our pets (I mean my cat gets stressed when I take him to the vet, or medication its just life) not that I stress out mt pets for fun it just happens sometimes.

What kind of bedding do you use

Love your vids

So frustrating, I can't get ahold of this cage. I need an upgrade for my female Syrian but there are no cages in the US that are available and suitable...

where did you get ur cage !!!!

I found pictures of me as a child with two robo hamsters in a critter trail. I am so disappointed now, there are pictures of me picking them up and sticking my doll into the cage. Even though I was 9, and knew not to HURT them, I didn't know how freaked out the probably were.

I leave my hamster inside the tank while I empty out the opposite side then when I have to work on the side there in I take them out and they crawl right into my hand to come out and my daughter plays with him in the playpen till I’m done

ASMR be like with munchie nice😁🙂

Please tell me where you got the table the water bottle was on I’ve been looking for one of those it would mean so much if you responded 😁

What’s in the spray bottle you used to clean? Did I miss it?

I leave a little more then half the bedding in my hamsters tanks but spot clean the dirty bedding is than not heathy for them . I will gladly remove and replace all of it with fresh bedding if that the case. Please answer.

Where's the sand bath?

Hey i really like your videos

How often do u deep clean? I do it every 2 months for a 650 sq ft. and spot clean every 2 days. Will that be ok?

Good for Gerbils?

If I wasn’t on the east coast I would totally be a pet foster parent volunteer

You sound like Trixie the dinosaur toy from toy story :)

the california hamster association link doesnt work :(

You should do a vid with Victoria rachael

I have 2 hamsters a Syrian long haired and a robo and there cages NEVER smell like pee I don’t know why but it never smells. I clean there cages once a month they each have a 75 gallon tank

I was putting this together and the MDF engineered wood off-gassing was so strong my lungs burned. It’s toxic for our hammies. 😢

I would love to know more about ethical breeding. Not to start my own, just purely out of curiosity. One hamster is enough for me. How does someone get started breeding ethically? Where do they get their hamsters to start? What makes them an ethical breeder? I dont know why I am so curious about it, but I am. Lol.

Hi guys. I’m very sad today. But I hope you’re all having a good day.

I breed winter white breeder just nog in USA sadly enough, but we do have multiple ethical breeders in one country

Please make hair dye videos again please

How do you become a small animal rescuer?

You are as tall as my husband. Im 4 foot 9 inches. :)

My winter white had diabetes he would drink a whole water bottle a day sadly he passed away at 8 months 😢

I’ve got to do this. Yeti died yesterday day. He was around 3years old. 😓 he was my best friend.

I do think that human males do pee a lot more than females because me and my mom pee like 4 or 6 times a day depends on how much water we drink and I have been noticing for a few months that my dad would only drink a few grams of water and then we will be using the bathroom every 1 -2 hours. Same for my step dad too. So MAYBE they do. (Not so sure yet because there haven’t been scientific research done with this topic yet)

Ok so my male syrian literally grinding clicks his teeth at me even when I just fluff his bedding.. like 50/50 % of the time. Sometimes just puts his head out of his hide and then moves his whiskers a lot. He’s not fully tame yet.. we’re getting there 1/1.5 months together. But I can never clean his cage with him in it. Not even spot clean... ugh spoiled hammy

Hamsters rule

Your only 5’2”??? Wow u look so tall on your videos! I’m 5’5”

You ask for an American ethical breeder, why not become that person? I am sure many of Munchie's subscribers would love to purchase/adopt a hamster bred by you. :-)
