You are doing wonderful! That cage is such a big cage for such a tiny dwarf hamster!! The bedding looks nice for digging tunnels and so many hides for safety. Well done! She sure is a cute one!!
Yes! I have 6 inches of bedding in the video, which is the minimum, but since then I have added more! And her back isn’t bending while on the wheel, it is straight. So it’s not harming her! But I would like to get her a nicer wheel at some point! I actually do have a lid you just can’t really tell on the video. Thank you for commenting! ❤❤
You are doing great. I have a suggestion when your able to maybe upgrade her wheel. I know hamsters are small animals and many think there's no reason why they need large spaces or lots of bedding or enrichment, but it's crucial for their well being and it keeps their little lives enriched. Many hamsters enjoy different types of sprays, so maybe that's an idea.
Her new cage looks great. The only thing I would change is the wheel, the wheel you have for her is actually too small. The size she needs is a 9 or 10in wheel.
Yes! I would like to get her a new wheel, but her back isn’t bending at all and is completely straight! So it isn’t harming her in anyway, thankfully! Thanks for the suggestion! ❤❤
Actually with the dwarf hamster, and it appears yours is a small dwarf, her back does not seem to bend at all in that wheel. I think you are doing very well.
Hi! Hamster owner here, also semi-new. For your hamster, you want to have at least 800sqin of room. This cage is their entire world! Usually 40 gallon tanks have about 600 sqin of space, I’ve had one myself! While it’s not bad, I would reccomend a bin cage! These are often cheaper, and provide plenty of room if you find the right one. I also noticed you may have a few inches of bedding at most- Hamsters need roughly 7-10 inches of bedding, or half the cage’s height. Hamsters love to burrow! The wheel, as other people have said, also needs to be around 10 inches or more, otherwise their backs will curve and they can have issues later on. With the bendable bridge you have, moss needs to be placed and glued inside the cracks, otherwise their tiny body parts can get stuck inside! If I recall correctly, depending on the dwarf hamster you have, 1/3 of their cage needs to be a sand bath. Also, I strongly reccomend sprays (which can be found on esty), and please also ensure your hamster’s food is nutritional. A lot of hamster foods sold in stores do not meet their needs. If you need any help, please feel free to contact me! I hope your hamster is doing well, and I’m so happy you upgraded their cage! If you need any of my contacts, let me know and I’ll send them in the comments! Best wishes
Also, edible huts are often not good for hamsters! Hay such as Timothy Hay is not needed in their diet, and often doesn’t provide any nutritional value! Sorry i keep adding more.
@@fitzguineavision not hating btw! but just lyk incase you end up buying a detolf it is not suitable for any hamster species apart from robos since the cage it’s not wide enough on the sides, but since robo hamsters are really smaller they don’t notice it. I recommend the ikea Plastsa diy cage 🤍 (also since the detolf isn’t very tall for bedding so you would need a raised lid for it which would make the Plastsa cheaper to afford)
I don’t know how many inches that wheel is you have for sweetie but for dwarf hamsters you should have a 8 inch to 9 inch wheel for them so they’re back is completely fat also you are doing an amazing job love how much bedding you put in the 40 gallon tank is awesome I have a short haired Syrian hamster and she’s in a 40 gallon tank and I love your sand bath😊😊😊 I also thought it was really funny that the topper that you have for your tank is the same top of that I use just I would suggest getting some clamps to put on the top that clamp onto the topper and hook around to the black part of the tank it just makes it safer for them or you could put a stack of books on top of the tank
That’s so cool we have the same setup! I am hoping to get a new wheel at some point, I am saving up for the nightangel one. I had those clamps for my last cage! Thanks for commenting! ❤️
Idk about bedding hight but i have 2 bug platforms from night angel to cover have my tank so one side is all platform and no gaps. She uses the top playform like a ground and build her hides underit. She used to love her old hiddout but the platform idea gave a wide range of ways for her to live and make her own nest lol. Other haldf is just water wherl sand and another hideout from night angel connect to the playform
@@Haz3lth3th3rianI have done many hours of research. Please don’t assume of what people know. I have 7 inches of bedding in my enclosure, my enclosure is 648 square inches of floor space. I have food with natural ingredients, and I am going to be buying a niteangel 10 inch wheel. I care for my hamster very much, and she trusts me. Please, be more kind. Have a nice day.
@@Haz3lth3th3rian it’s alright, I just wish that people, would look at the comments to see if anyone has already written things about what I’m doing wrong. (Also I already follow Victoria Rachel)
Maybe add more sand in the sand bath to help her get in and out easier! It’s soo cute! I love her cage!
Thank you! Since this video I added more sand! Thanks for commenting! :)
@ of course!

Yayy! So nice seeing them happier, isn’t it! 😊 I had to upgrade the first cage I had as well as it was too small
I like the wooden house windmill it's a nice big cage
Thank you! I thought the windmill was so cute! Thanks for the nice comment! ❤❤
You need more subscribers your videos are amazing you should be at 1M
Thank you!!! That’s so sweet!!! ❤❤🎉
Good Update. In the future, you should focus on more bedding, a lit to provide escaping, a bigger wheel and a multichamber hideout. :-)

@@-flowerblossom-820 IKEA detolph are good solutions too. I've seen many use those

Yeah np I’m sooooo happy to hear that you are saving up for a Night Angel wheel!!😁😁
I think it's a good start but I think u should buy more chew toys!
That hide isn’t safe because of the material (the house)
Thank you! I actually realized that before you wrote this, and took it out! :)
do more research please theres not a deep enough bedding dont use silent spinners, dont use edible hides,etc watch victoria rachel btw this isnt hate

Please don’t use that hamster food because it doesn’t have enough fat and it is boring. I recommend Bunny Nature and Niteangel.
I think it’s fine
@@BreeLovesHorses they shouldn’t have pellets in their diet.
@@GraciesLifeWithPets they can mixed with seed mix but I’m not gonna argue with you
