Hamster "Kashi" Explores Her Rainforest Cage for the First Time!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- Welcome Kashi! At long last, there is finally a hamster cutie running around in the new Rainforest themed DIY cage. 😊 It's been a long wait and many of you asked to see her reactions in the new cage, so this video shows some of that footage! I had debated for a long time on which tank to use initially. The desert tank is smaller, but the downside is that it's quite a bit harder to access for cleaning and taming. I set it up more as an extra play area, but not something that would get require daily cleaning. Depending how Kashi tames, I may change my plan for future hamsters and start them off in a smaller tank and work up. Oh, and to be honest I was also slightly impatient to have a hamster in new DIY cage. 😂 Lol! She definitely is using and enjoying all of the space and things to do!

**Kashi's cage has been re-decorated again!** I took inspiration from the 2009 movie "AVATAR" and mixed together various natural elements with a touch of mystical and fantasy! 🌎 Kashi really loves it! Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/ICuGlM2B93k/v-deo.html
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?
*me, looking at my 520sq inch cage*
“Pathetic.”
me rn💀
Same.
Mine is 525sq inch .....
.......
Still very pathetic 😅
Mine is 370sq inches😐😐😐😐
Same bruh
I’m so grateful this lucky little hamster has a mum who loves her so much and is so dedicated to caring about her.
That what you called pet lover
You know these little creatures often get very mistreated and to give her a stimulating environment touches my heart. Thanks for sharing!
Imagine if your parents made a whole world for you 🥲🙃 instead of just a room. This is how she must feel. ☺️💕💓
This cage makes me feel bad about my cage.
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)
BAHHAHA same
My mom won’t let me get a new cage for my hammy mine is pathetically small
"How can something be traped in a confined space for so long?"
**Me in my room 24/7**
_ Eggward haha funny Eggward
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
I blame Jenna for sending me down this hole of watching hamster cage decor... I REGRET NOTHING
Windyle Yaasss

Same ahhhhhhhh
Lol same but these videos are so innocent and relaxing.
Sameeee!
SAME
Came here from Jenna's 'rainforest' theme cage video and I'm glad I did! It soo cute 😭😍
Thank you so much for coming over and for your compliments! It was kind of Jenna to give a mention!
Same
Same!! I've never had a hamster before but this was super cute to watch.
Same lol
Same
Can I be your pet ? I'm kind and clean.
Vinen 😂 😂😂👍
Agreed 😳
ANAHHAHAHAHAH PLSS
This creeped me out.
I want to be the hamster in the vid
My question is: how are you going to clean this beautiful cage? 😱
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 ?
Cage? No
Mansion? Yes
Heaven for a hamster? Yes
Hotel? Trivago
It‘s a Cage
Legit everyone commercial I watch
Good comment
Videos like this one make me a little misty eyed - it’s such a stark contrast to the way you normally see hamsters treated. I’m just so happy to know there are people who care enough to provide these sweet little animals with the love and respect all animals deserve.
This is one of the purest videos on UA-cam. I had a smile on my face the whole time.
I'm so happy you smiled and enjoyed watching little Kashi! :)
Everyone is talking about how it's hard to clean.... This is a living creature, if you are going to take it into your home at least be willing to put out the effort to give them a great quality of life. If you are too lazy to put extra effort in then just don't get one. If your #1 concern with a pet is how easy it is for you then you clearly lack the empathy and love for them necessary to properly care for them.
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?
her cage is better than my house 😂
Mine too
imagine having a black and white hamster in that rainforest setting, its like a mini panda exhibit
That would be adorable!!
WOW! Put her on MTV Cribs.
1:58 *LEVEL ONE, COMPLETE*
*TELEPORTING PLAYER TO LEVEL 99*
XD
complete
4:59 “she did eventually fall asleep... *in her food dish.”* 😂😂
Superhamster129 Me.. We can relate.
I don't get it. Are they supposed to sleep in a bed with a blanket?
Using my dads phone for his UA-cam and I see this in his history, watched in its entirety. Mind you he’s a huge ex marine with tattoos from neck to toe and veins popping out his head lol
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
That is fantastic. Combining art, fauna, terrascaping, petting and nature-within-your-home and keeping the animals happy and adventurous, it is like the terrariums and nature bowls.
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!
This was so enjoyable. Thank you. Never knew i needed to watch a hamster in a dream enclosure loving life until now. Thank you haha
Same here. At 2am 😂😂
I find it amazing that someone has actually done this. I remener when I was young and had per hamster how cool it would be to create a natural environment for them and I'm glad that you have its really nice to see. the hamster can live similar to how they would in the wild and this ine had loooads of space. and it looks nice too.
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.
So cute! I love the setup!
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
This was the most wholesome thing I've seen this year.
we spending most our lifes livin in the hamster paradise
Yeahh Coolio!
Ummmm ...yup I’m going to be watching this video over and over especially when I’m having a bad day... she is seriously going to the best life ever with so many things to explore.. I can’t even imagine what she must be thinking in her tiny head... u can see how super excited she is ..:) ♥️ I enjoyed this very very much hh xoxo
I love her dedication and love for her hamster. I aspire to this.
Omg. #jennamarbles should see this! She would do this in a heartbeat!
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!
You have an amazing sense of selecting different items from different aisles of a pet store that will work so beautifully in a hamster home theme. I love how Kashi is exploring all the areas and you can see from her expression she’s saying to herself, “this is all mine? This is all for me???”
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!
Awesome she even has a shroom farm. That will be one all knowing hampster.
"you get to have this cage! Oh boy!" I never thought someone could use that sentence so enthusiastically HAHAHA
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.
You did a wonderful thing. Many people keep rodents pet in small cages with no chances for them to play or enjoy their short life. They need to play and not be depressed or bored. Good job
Isnt it all so worth it? The time and effort you put into making this amazing habitat for her. I love how she was curious and went around foraging while she was exsploring! What an amazing set up you made for her, it's really beautiful!
This makes me feel terrible about how my hamster I had about 9 years ago was kept. I had no idea a small cage sold for hamsters was not ideal, and I had no idea that they would be this excited about this much fun and stimulation in their cage.
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!
SO wonderful to see a proper hamster setup! Too often you see parents getting their kids hamsters without educating or teaching them proper care, so the poor things end up in itty-bitty cages with tons of plastic and too-small wheels and such.
Such an adorable setup, and I hope she has a wonderful time in her happy home
Every hamster that gets the chance to be your pet is in my opinion just so so blessed!
Your cage set-ups are just amazing, you love your hams so much and Kashi really is a lucky hamster. My heart is exploding when I watch the excitement and happiness of her and listen to your loving talk.
Watching this and crying in the middle of the night LOOK AT THE LITTLE DUDE GO..
This cage is truly amazing! So much beauty! Xo I love this! Such a sweet new baby! I love the logs & the entire natural beauty of it all. So so pretty!
Lori’s Hartland hi I love your videos
Not even a Hamster/rodent guy, but I gotta say this is wonderful what you've done. It's a beautiful looking environment and I bet the cute lil fella loves it. Great job! 👍
Thank you very much! :)
Wow! I wish everyone had such a nice "cage" for their pets! Much more animal friendly and great to look at.
She looks like an apricot I’m crying
My heart melted the moment she went into her new gorgeous habitat.
Your hamster is treated amazingly, that cage is so much better than what most people provide, a barred cage with a wheel and that's it. I hope she lives a long and happy life, well I know she will because you take such amazing care of your hamsters, you treat them like they are dogs, because they are just as important. 💕💕
The enthusiasm for your hamster warms my heart. Similar to how I treat my budgies. I can watch them forever play and fly.
Hamster paradise! Amazing and what a spoiled little critter. That little complex brain of hers will be endlessly making new neural circuits with so much activity and learning to do.
Your hamsters are the luckiest hamsters on earth I swear
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!
Girl, Jenna Marbles just mentioned you, your about to get the UA-cam glow up treatment :)
If she sleeps anywhere it probably means she feels very comfortable anywhere and doesn't feel like she has to hide.
I don’t even have a hamster I just like watching hamsters run around in there homes😂
This is the most precious thing ive ever seen. What a sweetheart and her bum is so cute (sounds wrong to say haha).. i was smiling all the way through the video thinking "i want a kashi for myself". She just made me melt multiple times. Im so so SO adoring her, she is so cute!!! Eeekk I cant stop smiling. Im going to send this video to some of my friends, and my mom, because this is just too cute to keep it to myself. Yay.. thank you so much for showing us this amazing footage of little Kashi. Xxxx have a nice day xxx
Im just so speechless, she is so cute.. her reaction to the new cage was amazing to watch. She looks like she is a very gentle hamster, and i bet she is going to be enjoying her life so much in her big cage.. wow.. im so happy for you too. I cant stop smiling eeeekk haha
Can you please contact me? :) I've been trying to reach you. Thank you in advance
It would be a “WORK" to clean that cage.
How does she clean it???
*dont care it deserves to walk in something that looks like its natural environment. Animals are not toys.*
I need to know how does she cleans this cage?!!!
@Barry Celtic i see youve never had a hamster.
My hammies tend to stick to one spot where they like to go to the bathroom, makes cleaning the cage soooo easy!
When you transferred her from the cup to the log I was thinking it’s her freedom step to her new loving owner
moji Patterson this is better than the scene in Shawshank Redemption where Andy finally escapes to freedom.
That little girl certainly won the Hamster Lottery the day she went to your place!
What a great video! I was so curious to see how she would like the cage. It was so cool to watch her explore!! She is so cute. I bet she's loving it! Thank you so much for sharing every little step Kashi's making HH :) It was so interesting to see her first impressions. Have a nice weekend!! ❤

Now THAT is a woman who knows how to make a rodent feel adored! Never seen a cage set up like this, love it!!
Kashi might be the most spoiled hamster on YT. I love it 👍🏻
Bless you for doing that for your little hamster. I love people like you, the world needs more of you.
This is the most wholesome thing I've ever seen in my entire life
Wow.. what an amazing cage..!!!! Kashi is so lucky to have you 😃😃😃💗 This is very inspiring for me since I 💖LOVE💖 decorating my hamster cage..!!
Hamsters have never been my thing and probably never will be, but holy moly it fills my heart to see someone care so deeply for an animal that's usually just put in a cage that's probably too small with some paper bedding, food, water, and a crappy wheel and nothing else. I was actually wondering a few days ago if anyone ever puts in actual effort to spoiling their hamsters instead of giving them more colorful tubes to crawl through. I love your passion and your devotion!
This should be on MTV cribs.
That is the sweetest gift to give! What an awesome environment!
That's going to be a nightmare to clean up, but it's so beautiful.
Mark S youd only have to do spot cleaning and regular cleaning of where she sleeps so virtually its not that much.
This is how people should treat their pets......you decided to get a pet so treat them well 👍👍
I'm trying so hard not to cry. This is so wonderful.
A gerbil would grind that entire habitat into a fine sawdust within two days.
I’ve already watched this video a bunch of times because I love it sooooo much!! I showed my mom because my hamster has a 20 gallon and I want to get him a 40 gallon for his 1st birthday coming up on February 11th so I’m showing my mom ur videos (and she really enjoys them) and she’s thinking about getting a 40 gallon!! Also your UA-cam channel is the reason I have my hamster in a 20 gallon, why he has a proper diet, and everything you’ve helped me and him soooo much!! Also the cuteness overload in this video is so high because there’s so much cuteness!!!! Ahhhh!!🐹💕
This hamster is living the cottage core life
The 570 dislikes are Robo hamsters that believe that their wheel is the perfect size
Bereket Derie LoL I have 2 robos with a big fish tank and they r always fighting over their wheel we’re gonna get another wheel the hamsters are always snuggling it’s so coot
how do you clean the cage tho? it's seems very complicated to do
She posted a cleaning video
Regular spot cleaning and every so often a thorough cleaning and fun re-arranging. Not actually as hard if you're tidying daily. Same idea as the rest of the house.
Fun fact; rodents have preferred peeing and pooping areas if they're given the space for it. She mentions that this one in the video likes to go in sand and dirt, so changes are that's the main areas for cleaning- quick scoop and toss and/or replace.
Just keep up with daily spot cleaning :) Or work in sections :)
*this makes me feel like a bad owner*
That cage is a hamster's dream, she's a lucky girl, good to see someone take so much care for an animal's welfare, I like her fur too she looks apricot coloured.
What a lucky hamster!
The luckiest hamster in the world

Congratulations Hannah! I’m so happy that you found your new family member! She’s very lucky to have you! I can’t wait to see the future adventures with you and Kashi! Love you! Xx
What a wonderful terrarium you built for Kashi. It's not just that it's awesome to look at but it also shows that a lot of TLC went into making it. Thanks for sharing!
Why am I crying in the club rn?
Im serious I want to live in that cage it looks fantastic!
Ahh I've been wanting a hamster for so long and this has made me want one even more. What a paradise you've created for her!
happy kashi thriving
Kashi is living the dream!
This warmed my heart
Awhh, what a sweetie. So nice to see her in her new cage. What a lucky hamster, such a huge and exciting cage! I'd love a new cage tour if she messes it up. XD super cute to see this
Hehe okay, I will be sure to do another cage tour in future! Thank you SO much!
Why would anyone dislike this video. Like cmon this hamster is having the best time it’s so happy seeing this hamster play.
What a Brave and Fearless Explorer 🤗. I had such a good time watching her and listening to Your narrative. Thanks for being a bright spot in my day. Blessings My Friend 🌸
Your comments are always so sweet to read! Blessings to you too, Carol! 🌼
What type of person would dislike this? This Is soy cute!
Homeless hamsters
FRIENDLY JAPANESE BUSINESSMAN: Hello! Thankfully this cage has not been difficult at all. :) Contrary to how it may seem, the larger the cage for a hamster and the deeper the bedding, the easier it is to maintain. This has been my easiest cage of every cage I've owned. It has only required one somewhat major clean in the almost 8 months I've had Kashi, and even that wasn't a full clean. I mostly changed out the top layer of bedding and included new supplies. It's quite easy to maintain, in my opinion.
Hamsters living in critter trail cages
Right? I don't even like hamsters, but I liked this.
*me watching youtube with my hamster*
me: you're so lucky gus your cage is big it's 950 sq inches why u always complaining
gus (my hamster): *shows me this video* look at dis bro
If only we loved each other like this lady loves this hamster
Who else is watching this at 3AM

Hi, I see you are a guns n roses fan. I am too. Ok bye now:)

Imagine cleaning this cage 😂
Absolutely gorgeous, but how are you going to clean it?
Ardo Con i thought the same thing
Looks like their some plants that could decompose waste I think
yes , how ?
That's going to be fun.
Brought a tear to my eye. I don't know why. Hamsters are just cute creatures. I love them and I'm just happy to see her enjoy roaming around that cage.
Aww! So happy for you HoppingHammy! I know what you mean about having missed watching a hamster. I've had bad luck with hamsters and now isn't the time for another, but someday I hope to adopt one and once more watch a fluffy bum roam around. In the meantime I get to watch little Kashi 💕🐹
I’m living vicariously through this video.... such a cute little furry!
Lol thank you! :) I'm glad you enjoy watching her!
HoppingHammy i love the cage and she seems so happy with her new world! It’s like a fairyland! So lovely!
the one ear floops back OMG HEART
This is a REAL hamster enclosure.
you're the best hamster mom!!! What an amazing new homestead for Kashi!
That cage is awesome. Must be a real pain to clean and change shavings though
Do u believe she does that?
Reason being this place so big is you never clean your rats mess
She probably does it in sections, since it's so big you probably would just clean up the area the hamster frequents the most
yigi rats?
So cute!
