  • It's hard finding big cages in America for a Hamster, especially Syrians. But today i found a cage that's 620 sq inches, PERFECT for Syrians! Enjoy the unboxing video of the newest Hamster Cage which is a temporary home for my Foster Hamster, Ms. Frizzle who came from a neglected situation. She's getting the space she deserves.

      Charlotte Forrester, I actually kinda already got this cage... but I did check to make sure it was hard plastic and I have a 12inch dig box I the cage, also they do have a bunch of big and small chew toys, a sand bath and two 8.5 inch wheels, although I’m planning on getting a 12 inch one. I am happy with this cage and glad my poor gerbil isn’t in a tiny tales cage anymore. Also after a rough start I got her, Punk my gerbil, bonded with another gerbil, Snow white, and they are much happier in this cage.

    I’ve never even seen or heard of this cage before, but they should definitely sell these in pet stores! Also I don’t know if Ms. Frizzle is a big chewer or not, but that could play a part as to why she keeps biting the bars (even though she has so many chew toys which makes no sense.) She could just be very active as well and will want to get out no matter what cage she is in!

    • @MunchiesPlace
      @MunchiesPlace  6 років тому +34

      Emminade she is a normal chewer. She does love her chew toys. But I always provide enough variety of chews. She has since settled down in her cage since making this video back in May only with the occasional chewing on bars but not always.

      Emminade,
      Sometimes you can find them in pet stores, but the price is ridiculous, over $100.00. Currently, (January 2, 2020), Amazon is selling it for $69.99, while Tractor Supply Co. is having their Winter Sale, where it's going for $59.99. You do have to order it online from TSC, and if you're willing to have it sent to your nearest TSC, where you will pick it up, shipping is free, at least if I read things correctly. I don't know how long their sale will go on. If you ever want this cage, go online to find the best price.

      Kaytee cages are awful, they fall apart so ridiculously easy. I had a mouse that died when I carrying the cage. The tube on the side very lightly knocked against a doorway and fell off onto the hard floor about 5 feet below. The mouse was in it, had a seizure and died. I will always feel guilty even though I know it's also Kaytee's fault for making and selling these dangerous cages. Kaytee can go to h*ll.

    I let my hamster run around my room and I let him decide when he wanted to go in his cage. The only time I would put him in locked up is when I left the house just for safety. I made a cardboard maze and we had toys and different obstacles around the room to entertain him when we slept. I also slept on a mattress on the the floor so he would climb up and down. He really loved that. I think what is important is letting them explore with supervision and lining your doorways and walls so they can't hurt themselves. When I would come home from work, my hamster would greet me because he would hear me come in, climb out of his cage and run to my feet. It was adorable!

    I can't rave about this cage enough! It's a great size for a syrian. I like the comparisons you did. Not a fan of the storage totes at all and of course the pet store cages are a no-brainer. My syrian is like spiderman; he climbs the wires all the time but roams all around as well. He has a wonderful loft as well. Sooo there was one little problem with this great cage and that is the ramp. It is a slick type of plastic. He slipped in place on the way up and slid on his way down. I went to the local dollar store, bought a thin door mat/rug, cut it to size and glued it to the ramp. I also glued 2 2" walls on either side of the ramp so he can't fall off for my own piece of mind. It makes it so much easier for him; there is no slipping any more. This carpet makes great texture for his traction. Worth every penny from Amazon, I paid the same amount btw.

I thought mine might be warped but I got it to sit flat so apparently not. I think the trick is not to tighten up the screws all the way at first. Put them in just far enough to hold the platform up one at a time. Then once they're all and go around and tighten them up it seemed to help me.

He is 8 and I will be supervising him at all times with playing, cleaning, and all that before I feel like he can handle it on his own. I am so glad I found your channel. I've already learned so much just from watching a few videos. When I was googling hamster cages almost all of the results were from the kaytee brand and other tiny, colorful, plastic cages. I think it's a huge problem and I'm so glad I didn't end up wasting my money on those horrible cages. So thank you for educating me!

    I have this cage for my winter white dwarf hamster and it is perfect for him. The bar spacing is plenty small enough and he loves to climb the bars and use the ramp. So if you want this cage and a dwarf hamster you have nothing to worry about. This cage is great for all types of hamsters INCLUDING dwarfs.

    This is the exact enclosure I have for my syrian! She seems to like it. There are definitely bigger cages out there, but this one is just fine. It feels a tiny bit small, but it's a decent amount over the minimum. and i know that you know now, but that definitely wasn't enough bedding.
    also all of the plastic and bars were fine for me

    Hey munchie! I love your channel I’ve been watching you for more info on my hamster and you’ve helped 100%. Your the best hamster youtuber and thank you!
    I have one question 😅!
    What sand do you use for your sand baths and what’s safe?

    • @dextron3814
      @dextron3814 4 роки тому +1

      hey there, I have no idea if you know of what sand to get now, but I thought I'd help out anyway!
      Reptisand is a good option (I personally use it for my hamster, and she loves it! It's a ideal option if you want to buy appropriate sand right out of a bag.)
      In fact, most sand that's safe for hamsters is reptile sand or aquarium sand. Just make sure it isnt calcium sand because it is dangerous to hamsters. Chinchilla dust and the Tiny Friends Farm sand is also bad for your hammy, both can cause respiratory issues
      You can also buy a bag of play sand, but be aware that you have to sanitize it first before using it by baking it. It's the cheapest option.
      There is plenty of more info out there, I suggest taking a peek at some hamstery websites (like Hubba Hubba Hamstery) as those are filled with good advice, as well as care articles and topics about things suitable for hamsters.
      Bonus: if you're looking for a jar similar to the one Munchie has, check out Hobby Lobby! I found one very similar to hers there, just make sure to clean it before using it!
      Good luck! 😁

What makes it worse is the pet shop they could have surrendered him to was right across the street!! 😡 I need to get him a detolf upgrade the same as my Syrian, but he’s very happy in this cage at the moment. I’ve already noticed how much more lively he is than my Syrian, although my Syrian runs for hours a night, my robo more runs around and explores, and will come out during the day too

    I actually bought this cage for my two dwarfs! They love burrowing in how deep the base is and a lot of room for toys and a big sand bath! The only thing is that they have trouble getting up and down the second story ladder.. my only worry is my cats can possibly push open the top lid when I’m sleeping since I didn’t get two guard things? Only one. But overall I love the cage :)

      @MunchiesPlace  6 років тому +2

      It's a small uncommon risk. This is not common but any animal can have a disease that can spread to humans. All you need to do is wash your hands before and after handling the hamster, clean the cage monthly and keep all places the hamster touches clean. It's exactly like touching raw meat. Wash your hands. Also if you're ever sick, don't touch your hamster cause your germs can pass over to them quite easily.
