You usually don't clean the whole cage. You only replace some dirty parts because changing the cage is really stressfull for hamsters. Also, they are really clean animals and they have their dirty corners so you only have to cleam some areas and make sure to put some fresh soil in there or things they can play with like nuts or other interesting items
Hello! I love you natural cage setups. Where did you get the bedding from and is it safe for dwarf hamster.I also live in Sweden if that makes sense.I always struggling finding good bedding!
Thanks! I clean it once a week. It is surprisingly easy. I just remove everything on top of it, then remove all of the dirty bedding, replace the bedding, them put everything back on top of it.
@@pancakespets I just came to ask the same question. This really sounds pretty easy, and it looks so much better than all those sterile cages with this artificial food. Thanks!
@@pancakespets Thank you so much! Currently have a converted extra large fish tank but it's a bit more shallow than I'd like so I'm planning to get another one, maybe for a Chinese hamster?
i love this! but don't you think they need some extra floor space to walk? i see a lot of hamster owners filling every inch of the cage but i always wonder if the hamsters get frustrated with having to climb over everything??
Hello, its me again i bought everything for a Hamster and wanted to ask if i could already prepare the cage with everything 2days before getting the Hamster.
Hey there, love this cage setup can I just going to point of the bark you are using in your multi chamber hideout isn’t safe this is because my Syrian ate it and we had to take him to the vets. I can recommend chubby cheeks coco husks which is like a faster version for hamsters!
Wow ❤ can I ask though, how much are you going through cleaning all that out each time? Must be dear? And where does pancake poop? I’m nervous to get a hamster and do it all natural but I’d really like to 😊 thanks xx
@@pancakespets thankyou. We’ve got the hamster now. Seems to poop and pee in random places. He’s really timid atm but in the shop, he was so calm and friendly xx
@@rachelsteel hey congrats on the hamster! Maybe I’m totally late with this and everything is good now but sometimes animals really need a moment to settle in. Especially when they are still unsure of where everything is and where they’re safe. Making sure that they have good spaces to hide and not to disturb those places more than necessary really helps during that time, I’m sure once a routine and a nice burrow has been established things will be better. I’m currently waiting on a tarantula to settle so I get it :’)
This is so adorable, although any kind of hay is actually not safe even if it's soft hay it can still poke their eyes and hurt their little paws, and sprays are great but these are too many the hamster will get a stomachache if they eat them all at once which they probably will, also those stones are smooth you need a rougher kind :)
Calcium and colour free reptile sand is best. If you can't find any of this, then disinfected, colour-free plain children's play sand also works. You will need to disinfect it by baking it at 400°F for 60-90 minutes. You will need to sift it using a sieve to remove any lumps. I hope this helps! 🐹❤️

Hello, I need a little help. Is neem sticks good for Chinese dwarf hamsters? My hami is trying to chew all the belongings. I have very little option for hamsters in my locality as well as on Amazon.
I would recommend looking online on websites like Etsy for hamster chew toys. Hamsters can gnaw on things other than sticks too, such as walnuts in shells, peanuts in shells, dried dandelion roots and whimzee dog chews (they can only have this once a month). Plain cardboard and dog biscuits (that have the least ingredients and are the most organic) can also be chewed! If possible, including multiple of these items would be a good idea! 🐹💕

I love it it looks very nature I’d love to own a cage like this in the future unfortunately my budget is not suitable for these kind of setups but keep up the great work
You need about 12kg of bedding to fill it! I never need to fully clean it, as I only ever need to change the soiled bedding. I use aubiose hemp horse shavings, which you can get 20kg of it for £20, so it's not that expensive 🐹❤️
OMG I just came across your channel and Pancake looks identical to my hamster, Carrot! Too bad I cant upload a picture. Your video gave me lots of inspiration for his enclosure. :)
Did you meant similar or same? Of course you can make two same enclosures BUT you SHOULD NOT keep two hamsters together because after two weeks you only have one 🐹🕊️

This hamster home is amazing. Is it a nightmare to keep clean though? Like, what about when you give the hamster fresh fruit and vegetables, there are so many places in there to hide stuff like that and id worry about fresh food rotting in there

Hamster cages should be semi-crowded from what I hear
They are prey animals, open areas dont make them feel safe
how often do yuo need to add new foraging, sprays etc....i feel it's really costly
Ideally more forage daily/every three days, but sprays weekly 🐹💕
