    My setups usually contain added decorations and details that aren't necessary, so I thought it would be nice to set up a cage in the minimum size (100 x 50cm) with just the bare essentials🐹

    Hello:) I have a syrian hamster and i noticed that he has flaky skin on his ears so we thought it might be from the cork log that we had because it had spider like thingies on it. We baked it and did a cage clean( not everything but washed all substrate dishes and cleaned the surface of the bedding. Do you have a tip on what we could do? Thank you😊PS: i love watching your videos

    So I’m making a diy cage, and I wanted to know what woods are safe to build with, I know Aspen spruce and birch plywood are save, right?

    • @TheHamsterRoom
      @TheHamsterRoom  23 дні тому

      It depends where you live, for example in the UK there is no plywood that is formaldehyde free (that can harm their respiratory system) so make sure to check the wood is formaldehyde free! Another option is using ikea furniture like the pax or platsa frames.

Also in my area I can’t find any safe varnish for the wood, so I was thinking on adding a plastic tray… kinda like putting glass on the base, but budget friendly 😊 tell me if that is a good idea because idk if plastic as a base is bad or…..
