      @christinam3953 7 років тому +26

    This is really cute! I'm going to make the advanced one even though I don't have a hamster (yet) because I want to make a pretend cage with everything pretend so they can see how desperate I really am for this hamster and how well I am going to take care of this one! I will also use it if I get a real hamster, so I'm pretty much making things for a hamster I might get in the future! :D

  • @shadokat
    @shadokat 3 роки тому

    This is a wonderful idea and will last until the hamster decides to start chewing on the string. I wonder if there's a way to keep the construction really simple but use a chain instead.

  • @FreyaCatherineMusic
    @FreyaCatherineMusic 7 років тому

    Is normal sewing thread (cotton) okay for hams? I remember that cotton is indigestible to them, or is it the type of cotton (i.e cotton wool) that's more dangerous? Also are there any types of fabric that might be unsuitable, like acrylic, wool or felt? Really want to make this for my future ham's cage so he/she has plenty to play with :)

    • @annabrown7984
      @annabrown7984 7 років тому +2

      I believe she used generic tan string. If you are going to do this, don't use anything with metallic or shiny bits in it, or beads. You should also make sure it's not loose or frayed!

    I wonder if you could build a larger one for a husky... 🤔

    Can it be any string or a certain type of string. Can you use yarn for it. Thanks for this video I was looking at your old hammock video and I like this one better. I love this channel, can you do a robvoroski dwarf hamster care video like your Syrian care video. If you can't can you suggest a channel cause I am not allowed to be on a hamster forum.🐹
