silentxrain yeah, but do some research, my cage is a little bit too small :/ but I’m moving out soon and then they’ll get a bigger cage and another little girlfriend :D but this time I’m trying to get the mouse from the shelter. My other two girls are albinos (so Feeding Mice :() but they are so adorable! They don’t bite and love to explore everything. Today I made them some toys and they love it :D they even eat out of my hand after just a few days!
Your so lucky your hamster is like that no matter how hard I try my hamster doesn't wanna be tamed she is very shy and fast and prefers to be alone she is so untamed she can't even have play time she doesn't want to go in the ball she tries to escape the play pen I don't wanna even try free range but yeah I'm so upset
+I am ashley Start with scatter feeding and move up the ranks, check out pet palace tv's video on gerbil taming to learn more. (Yes its gerbil taming but it can be applied to hamsters aswell, I used the methods she states on my hamsters and gerbils and they are mostly tame)
If you go to my channel I have a video on a really cool toilet paper tube DIY that wasn't shown in this video I hate advertising on other people's videos but it's the only way I can get traffic to my UA-cam channel so check it out in about an hour or two is when the video should be done uploading
Audrey The Panda yes lots and lots of people keep mice. Pet mice and wild mice are totally different lol. Mice have a huge personality in a small package. I'm getting my girls this month
Just came back to watch this over a year later. This was the first video I watched on your channel whilst looking for homemade toys for the gerbils I had at the time. It was almost your latest video then. I've watched nearly all your videos since and am a very faithful viewer - and I dare say you've improved my hamster knowledge! Erin, you're such a wonderful person and so nice to all your viewers, even those who aren't nice to you. Please keep making such adorable videos and keep us updated on your beautiful little furry family. Love Ellie ♥
Well you know, Erin has made videos on answering her viewer's questions!!!!!! She is awesome. I love you too Erin!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💟💟💟💟😘😘😘😘😘😘💌💌💌💌💓💓💓💓💞💞💞💞💗💗💗💗💗💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘💟💟💟💟💟😘😘😘😘
The toys in this video are suitable for a whole range of pets not just hamsters but also mice, gerbils, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, degus, chinchillas, ferrets, cats etc. Obviously a guinea pig is not going to be able to use the tunnel toys but they can easily use the others
I use sewage pvc pipes from the hardware store for my guinea pig Pea. I bought elbow connectors and rounded extensions to fit together. They work well as ramps and bridges two. With anti-slip tape I made them safer and it naturally files his nails. The tubes are easy to clean, too.
I love these ideas, so creative and fun! I have used the toilet roll pyramid in my latest cage tour, because it is so cool, Tris loves darting through the bottom two, but doesn't pay much attention to the top one!
Thank you so much. All the shop bought toys and toilet tubes around their cages and okay areas were ignored mostly but now I have loads of ideas of what to do to spruce their cages up even more (we have 4 hamsters, 2 rats & hopefully guinea pigs soon 🤩)
Totally brilliant ideas my hammy Snooty will love these toys, i think the toys at the pet store are outrageous in their prices , Thankyou so much, just off to the loo ,hope i got enough rolls hahaha
Seriously made the cardboard ball little Marley was awake when I put it in his home and he got stuck straight in brilliant idea thankyou love your videos so informative
Bardzo dziękuję za pomoc. Teraz nie muszę wydawać pieniędzy na mojego chomika. Od rana do następnego rana ciągle się tym bawi. Dziękuję. 100/10. Dałem like'a i suba za ten wspaniały filmik.
I was so excited to try these then I came to the conclusion that my rats are too fat to fit in these ): thanks for sharing these! they're such great ideas.
Rats love sunflower seeds but they can only have the kind that comes with pet food and I couldn't find any rat food with sunflower seeds so I bought hamster and gerbil food and I give the seeds to them as a treat ! Hope that helps
I'm very late but it's best to get ones with shells and just pop some in (though the amount she put in is ridiculous! 4 per day is plenty!) I just use the ones that come in my hamster's food - I take out the sunflower seeds and give them to her as treats. I'm still in the taming process, and it's helping a lot
I'm going to buy a hamster. I'm new here. May i know whether the hamster will bite the toilet roll and the paper? I don't want them to get sick. Thx. Btw, i love your channel and i just subscribed.
I think it depends on how big your Syrian is, mine is quite slim for a hamster so she can fit through quite easily but I can imagine if your Syrian is normal sized it might be a struggle.🐹
On the inside of my toilet roll, it has white paper like the one shown in the video and it also has a number printed on it Can I still make it for my Syrian hamster?
This is very creative and fun, but if your hamster chews them its very unhealthy because they eat all the glue which is toxic. Once my hamster got a little sick because of that
The glue used in toilet roll tubes isn't toxic at all, it's a vegetable/starch glue and is 100% non toxic which is why they are perfectly safe to be chewed on and why hamster communities promote their use as a budget friendly toy. Whatever made you hamster sick it certainly wasn't the tube :)
This is awesome video!!! I am preparing and researching about hamsters before I get one. I plan to get many items today because its black friday, so i'll be able to spurge on all the things needed and make the money go a little farther. I want to make sure I have nice little home for him. This video helps me provide new toys to change up the cage it up so he will not get board, thanks!
Start with a short hair Syrian hamster, it'll take a couple of months to tame but very possible. They live for about two years. Handle the baby hamsters, who should be at least 4-5 weeks old , (not several months, although those need homes, too, possibly harder to tame). Pick up baby hamsters under the arms , over the bedding in the Pet Store tank and see which ones are very tolerant and do not fight you. Look for calm. Personalities do not change. Biters will chew on your shirt buttons, sadly, put them back. The sex is easily spotted by experienced people. it doesn't make a big difference, some prefer one or the other. Start by having the baby hamster walk into a plastic cup to get it out of the cage and be prepared for it to "fly" , which is not safe. Talk to it, let it walk into your safe lap for several weeks and it will become tame. Ask your hamster if it wants to get out, etc. and do what it wants and they will learn your voice and associate it with food. Respect your hamster and it will be friendlier. Read a book on how to care and feed it. Get an 8 inch wheel, and toss the tiny one soon. Get a bigger cage than you think you need. They need space, a spinner, a wheel....maybe two story cage with a shelf. Buy "Carefresh" white bedding and never wood shavings.Find a good dry daily food and only tiny portions of wet veggies, carrot, apple, pea, a green bean, small , small portions. Alway shut the door. They will get out if even once you miss closing it. LOOK for it if it escapes....buy a playpen gate and trap it in the corner of a room to catch. I have always, 100 % always rescued my escaped ones.
my hamster Freddie now has this fab toy I made 4 him following ur instructions he is happily playing away with it thnx so much 4 this excellent idea Erin's animals x
These hamster videos are very helpful and easy to follow because I have 2 Russian dwarfs and I'm still very unsure so thank you so much for these videos 🐹🐹🐹🐹😀😀😀

I just picked mine up xD
BlueMoonGacha congratulations!! i just got my two last friday :) i’m sure it will have a good home x
I bought two Mice a few days ago 😁
NyaMoon are they easy to keep?
silentxrain yeah, but do some research, my cage is a little bit too small :/ but I’m moving out soon and then they’ll get a bigger cage and another little girlfriend :D but this time I’m trying to get the mouse from the shelter. My other two girls are albinos (so Feeding Mice :() but they are so adorable! They don’t bite and love to explore everything.

i've been asking for A hamster for years and the answer was always no but my parents have just agreed ! i'm so exited !!!!
same
+NevillesSoalmate You are so lucky! I have been asking for years as well. My mom has come around but I just have to get my dad on board! Congrats!
We are allllll lucky lol😝
NevillesSoalmate if they died R.I.P

Ikr
My hamster is sleeping on my chest right now ... I put him on my while we were playing then he fell asleep

Your so lucky your hamster is like that no matter how hard I try my hamster doesn't wanna be tamed she is very shy and fast and prefers to be alone she is so untamed she can't even have play time she doesn't want to go in the ball she tries to escape the play pen I don't wanna even try free range but yeah I'm so upset
Potato Lady29 aww, how cute! The hamster in my profile pic used to do that before he passed away.
+I am ashley Start with scatter feeding and move up the ranks, check out pet palace tv's video on gerbil taming to learn more. (Yes its gerbil taming but it can be applied to hamsters aswell, I used the methods she states on my hamsters and gerbils and they are mostly tame)
Random Hamster ur hamster was soooooo cute 😍
Thank you so much! I have countless toilet paper tubes saved up for my mice, but I was getting bored of just placing them in there as tunnels.
Anna Scholle how come u did not look for DIY video
If you go to my channel I have a video on a really cool toilet paper tube DIY that wasn't shown in this video I hate advertising on other people's videos but it's the only way I can get traffic to my UA-cam channel so check it out in about an hour or two is when the video should be done uploading
Anna Scholle me too I placed a tissue roll in my hamster fluffy’s cage as a tunnel
I didn't know people kept mice...
Audrey The Panda yes lots and lots of people keep mice. Pet mice and wild mice are totally different lol. Mice have a huge personality in a small package. I'm getting my girls this month
The water bottle one is amazing! I’ve been struggling to find a way to attach my bottle to the billy cage and this is perfect!
Just came back to watch this over a year later. This was the first video I watched on your channel whilst looking for homemade toys for the gerbils I had at the time. It was almost your latest video then.

I didn't realize this was for hamsters until I made it and said to myself "Yea my guinea pigs a to fat this must be for hamsters."
The toys in this video are suitable for a whole range of pets not just hamsters but also mice, gerbils, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, degus, chinchillas, ferrets, cats etc. Obviously a guinea pig is not going to be able to use the tunnel toys but they can easily use the others
172thumbs up!
lol yazz boo
If you can try to get Pvs Pipes that is big enough for you guinea pigs
I use sewage pvc pipes from the hardware store for my guinea pig Pea. I bought elbow connectors and rounded extensions to fit together. They work well as ramps and bridges two. With anti-slip tape I made them safer and it naturally files his nails. The tubes are easy to clean, too.
timestamps.
0:16 simple tunnel (requires 1 tube)
0:23 maze tunnels (requires 2+ tubes)
0:39 hanging tunnel(requires 1 tube + sisal string)
0:52 suspension bridge (requires 6 tubes + sisal strings)
1:18 water bottle stood (requires 1 tube)
1:35 treat parcel(requires 1 tube + treats)
1:59 treat roller (requires 1 tube + treats)
Honestly some of these are amazing for my baby Sun Conure. He loves foraging and I don’t have a ton of forage toys, so these helped!
I love these ideas, so creative and fun! I have used the toilet roll pyramid in my latest cage tour, because it is so cool, Tris loves darting through the bottom two, but doesn't pay much attention to the top one!
Thank you so much. All the shop bought toys and toilet tubes around their cages and okay areas were ignored mostly but now I have loads of ideas of what to do to spruce their cages up even more (we have 4 hamsters, 2 rats & hopefully guinea pigs soon 🤩)

I just got my first hamster! She’s literally the cutest little thing ever, she’s called Dusty
A person who likes to draw ;-; aww thats an adorable name :D
Cool
Mine is Hammy :D
How's she doing?
call me 1929 because I’ve hit a great depression my hamster name is also dusty🥺
How do you get such clean rolls, mine all have glue on them :/
+Martin Nikov same :(
How come they have glue on them? Maybe different brands...?
Cuz mines is clean
Try kitchen roll tubes, they're bigger and more hygienic unless the toilet roll is only nesting material for your hamster.
ShadowTBlack LOL SAME WITH ME TO😂😊😹
THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY LIFE CHANGING!
made a few and realized my rats are not gonna fit in it 😂😭
The puzzle toys are best for rats rather than the tunnels :)
Katelynn Groce lol
That happened with me to !! Lol
This is something only people who have rats will understand...
does pet rat's urine and poop smell? i wanna get a pair
Thy Nguyen it depends on your rat usually not unless his/her cage is messy and when they are scared yes big time
everything worked out fine!!
I sure will be doing all of this for my hamsters, Phineas and ferb hehe~
Sweet Little Madmaid my mice are based off a cartoon too! Milo and Otis, both boys!
Evelyn Murphy aawww thats so cuteee. It's so crazy because I changed their names to Oscar and Milo from fish hooks 😂
Mine are too! Rocky and Bullwinkle!
TearsofMadness Omg I love the names!!😂
Whoa! Cartoons are really popular in kids. If you're not kids, ok, names are names.
Definitely going to be making these over the weekend! Thanks!
I’ll be able to make plenty of these while in quarantine 🤣
Little did you know
@@kachewi7963 yep-
Christmas is the best time for making these. Wrapping paper tubes!
Im pretty sure that my hamster, hamzilla will love it!
Seriously made the cardboard ball little Marley was awake when I put it in his home and he got stuck straight in brilliant idea thankyou love your videos so informative
Me:*Watches this*
My hamster: Too Bad you cant make these I died a year ago...
Me: ...
Noo🥺
@@cinnamon6014 yeah... she was a very good hamster... never bit... was always happy to be played with... I miss her so much...
😢
I thought I was creative, loved the water bottle idea and the layered effect with treats squeezed into it.
Great ideas Erin!!!!
Hi BudgetBunny :)
Bardzo dziękuję za pomoc. Teraz nie muszę wydawać pieniędzy na mojego chomika. Od rana do następnego rana ciągle się tym bawi. Dziękuję. 100/10. Dałem like'a i suba za ten wspaniały filmik.
I was so excited to try these then I came to the conclusion that my rats are too fat to fit in these ): thanks for sharing these! they're such great ideas.
you can make the treat ones :)
❤️❤️❤️I love hamsters 🐹 I will definitely make these
Your videos are very helpful.....🤗😘
I loved all of these and i made the hammock and pyramid for my hamster and she loves them!!
2:03 I did this for my little dwarf hammy Stuart and he played with it ALL NIGHT and kept me awake ALL NIGHT😂
Love the suspension bridge idea
I’m literally watching this as my pet mouse Diego is showing signs of boredom
Nicole's World same but i have a hamster named ruffles
Omg so good my hamster enjoyed a lot thanks
Defiantly gonna do the treat ones
Kat ringer same
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Erin's bomb ass channel and ideas!?!?
I have a Syrian Hamster and he looks so cute when he's in the maze!
Violetta krizsán awww
I'm watching this with a bag of tp rolls next to me I saved up...🤣🤣
Fabulous ideas! I wanted to see the little guys playing with each one though.
PSA: My hamster died in the paper towel water holder. Be sure to cut a hole at the bottom if you dare to try this.
Oh no :( im so sorry
I love these! The puzzle toys and bridge work so well for my sugar gliders!
Are sunflower seeds good for rats? If so how do you prep them and what kind
Rats love sunflower seeds but they can only have the kind that comes with pet food and I couldn't find any rat food with sunflower seeds so I bought hamster and gerbil food and I give the seeds to them as a treat ! Hope that helps
You can get big bags of sunflower seeds in poundland in the bird seed section and they are perfectly safe for mice and hampsters and small animals :)
I'm very late but it's best to get ones with shells and just pop some in (though the amount she put in is ridiculous! 4 per day is plenty!) I just use the ones that come in my hamster's food - I take out the sunflower seeds and give them to her as treats. I'm still in the taming process, and it's helping a lot
AMAZING IDEAS!!! Very clever and creative!!!
Omg you are so good make more videos pleasYour such a good thinker
Thank you so much Erin! I’ve been looking for ideas with toilet rolls for my hamster! He’s going to love these!
I'm going to buy a hamster. I'm new here. May i know whether the hamster will bite the toilet roll and the paper? I don't want them to get sick. Thx. Btw, i love your channel and i just subscribed.
Ok...thanks for your reply..=)
Amy Slc It's so fun for them!
+amy slc
Hamster put them in there mouth and spit it out so they can make a hidout/house
@amy slc ur hamster will bite the roll but don't worry it will not make the hamster sick :)
These are the best diy toys I've seen thanks! X
Who else is watching this on 2019?!😂😂
you
2020 ? Hello past you! You have no idea what is coming your way 😂
Edward will love this thanks!
Wait a min.
But toilet paper is sold out ;_;
How am I getting 10 rolls now ;0;
My hammie loved the treat parcel ball! It was adorable, and instant success and lead to funny videos
I would like to make the maze but i think that a toilet roll is to small for a syrian hamster.
I think it depends on how big your Syrian is, mine is quite slim for a hamster so she can fit through quite easily but I can imagine if your Syrian is normal sized it might be a struggle.🐹
I think the maze is good for me cause i have a dwarf hamster
make little slits, thats what i did
***** I still did that even though i have a dwarf hamster
The Jetpack Gamer yeah its am good idea i have a syrian and it got stuck in one once...
I made one for my hamster and he went ham on that thanks I never seen him so happy
The treat roller took only 10mins for my hamster to destroy lmao
My hamster Albert will love this
Can you make some more of these? They were really helpful and I think my little cookie could use some more!
I have literally watched this video so many times, along with many other ones from your channel! Thanks Erin x
My hamster passed away a few days ago 😔
Equestrian Gamer I'm sorry
Well, It happens. Just think how you played and cared of him. He was lucky to have a wise owner. Well, I'm sorry too.
I liked the water bottle one! That was smart and saves more money 👏❤️❤️
On the inside of my toilet roll, it has white paper like the one shown in the video and it also has a number printed on it
Can I still make it for my Syrian hamster?
Exo_bangtantrash Yes.
My hamster will LOVE this!
my hamster just chews on the cardboard
Don't worry that's very normal :)
Erin I love the first treat finder you made. I loved it so much I made it for my sugar glider. He loves it.
This is very creative and fun, but if your hamster chews them its very unhealthy because they eat all the glue which is toxic. Once my hamster got a little sick because of that
The glue used in toilet roll tubes isn't toxic at all, it's a vegetable/starch glue and is 100% non toxic which is why they are perfectly safe to be chewed on and why hamster communities promote their use as a budget friendly toy. Whatever made you hamster sick it certainly wasn't the tube :)
I don't know.. Btw thank you for informing me
Just got a Syrian hamster today!!! She is only 5 weeks old! This was super helpful because she is a big chewer so this is perfect!!
My hamster's too fat..
oh well, you can still make the treat toys
These are great ideas my hamster loves playing in his tube!
you should have put hamster toys in the title not pets. obviously rabbits or cats cant fit threw a toilet paper roll
+ErinsAnimals I was just wondering
if Syrians can have non cooked pasta
+ErinsAnimals where do you find rabbit safe string?
Nicole Del Negro up but they can use the toys! Duh
she put small animals not pets
It’s common sense boi
thank you! my hamster loved these!! 🐹
This is awesome video!!! I am preparing and researching about hamsters before I get one.

omg erin that's so many sunflower seeds xD
What good ideas! Really enjoyed your video. Thanks.
My cat was watching this with me and meowing at the screen and purring when the music went *da-da-da*

I love the ideas! I even use the cardboard for my rabbit so he can get a few treats.
WOW great ideas
