I just discovered my Syrian is allergic to oats and was losing his hair. And he really loved oats so he's pretty bummed at not getting them anymore. His name is Archie but everyone was calling him ArchiBALD for a while lol. But his hair is almost back now ☺

That cage is just so incredible.

I love it, that one maybe I could use because I absolutely HATE the smell of vinegar. I know you can wash and wipe it off but sometimes some of the vinegar smell remains

You have made my pets life so much better because of your channel! Thank you so much!Keep smiling!🐹🐹

Vodka!! 😂I was getting ready for you to say vinegar. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nooo why did u have to cut the video??😂😂 can’t wait to see her final set up though

Hi Malica,love your channel!

Probably the best hamster cage cleaning video I've seen. You addresed so many things I've never thought of before! I've stumbled across your videos before, but this one got me hooked! Going to be binge watching for the night. 🐹❤

Iodine: *hiccup* what was in that spray *hiccup*

I’m currently building your “test tube” cage as I’ve been in love with it ever since watching! I can’t wait for my ham’s to explore it ♥️

Nooo! Don't be mean and leave us on a cliffhanger :( This is the first video of yours that I've watched for a while. I loved that you said why you do a full cleanout of Iodine's cage when you feel like it's dirty but encouraged new hamster owners to put it in their planner :). It was also great that you explained why you use those pellets instead of other types of more common substrate for your hamster and included how thick it should be.

My boy Fish is the same age as Iodine and it's scary how fast the time seems to have gone! It feels like yesterday that they were little!

Nice *DIY!* 😄 I really enjoyed! (◕ ω ◕) You are very creative woman! Your hammies lives better than me! 😇

I was just watching some of your videos, and thwn i saw this! Yay:D

Please do more videos about your mouse, I have 5 mice that all live together and my sister has six that live in two separate cage due to one of the mouses dominance. I’d love to see more mice related videos 😅

I use a water lemonjuice mix for cleaning

Why are Iodine and Potassium the the most iconic hamsters ever?!?!

I’ve been watching you channel for a while now , the diy cages you make are just amazing , I was just wondering what type of wood could you use to make diy cages as my my hamsters need thier cage upgrading ? xx

My dwarf hamster started losing fur. Hers was cystic ovaries, she had to them removed. Hopefully her fur grows back now!

First, thanks so much for making sure my mouse has a better life I love your Channel by the way

Boi. How dare you cut the video 😂

Whyyyyyyyyyyy just whyyyyyyyyyyy I need to see it It’s probably adorable

I might be getting a hamster soon! Aaaa I'm so exited😀💞

Some people say, “you don’t need a big cage, because they have a wheel to run on.” This is far from the truth. Imagine living in your closet for your entire life, but inside of your closet is a treadmill that is most likely too small to comfortably on. Yes, you can run, but you will still go crazy bro cooped up in a closet.

Nooo you cut the video ahh! 😂❤️ I’m sure iodine’s autumn themed cage is going to look great though!

as soon as i seen this pop up on my screen i just seen the logo and clicked 😂

You should try to avoid weekly cleaning if you can as cleaning too frequently can promote stress in hamsters, maybe you could try cleaning every other week instead and see how that works for you :)

I feel like using vodka would be very cost ineffective, I don't know about elsewhere but vodka is much more expensive than vinegar where I am 😂 The only vodka I buy is for me to drink!

You can buy super cheap bottles of vodka here (ones not worth drinking) which cost about the same as a bottle of vinegar, that's what I use to clean with. I wouldn't use drinking quality vodka for cleaning as that would be super expensive! :)

Hi Erin I bought my hamster this week hes 9 weeks old. I've watched your how to tame your hamster videos and I've been very patient but he's definitely a biter. Xxx

I hope u read this Erin.... My local pet store keeps dogs in sour of a glass crate and their cats are kept in tiny glass boxes with VERRY few air holes like litterarly just two. Their hamsters are all Syrians and they keep all of their young hamsters together and all of their old hamsters together only one watter bottle in the extremely over stoked hamster cages and the mice are all live and are supposed to be snake food so ya they don't sell frozen or pre killed and also their iguanas omg don't even get me started the way they are so over stalked. Their small birds and parrots are in tiny glass boxes and u can't walk by a bird that is not showing a sick symptom, it is just not possible for their small birds their. But for the big birds they are kept in tiny cages. Accept for the Maccaw, I was impressed. Non of their birds have toys witch is so important for various reasons. Their fish are over stalked and u probably understand what I mean by them putting turtles in bad conditions.the pet store imployees don't educate ppl on the commitment they are about to take when they get a pet. Their tortoises are tiny and they don't tell ppl how big they are gonna get. Neither hamsters or mice have weeks. All of their hamster cages are critter trails witch gives a bad example for parents. They do sell bird toys ut they don't make it look nessesary bcz they don't use any. They don't even sell wheels. Their pet food is so low quality. This pet store has their bunnies in tiny glass boxes with two air holes and are SO OVERSTALKED with no hay or any place to hide. Overall, this pet store doese not give their pets a good life and give bad examples for non educated ppl who want to buy. Pet and they don't sell the maguratty of what ur pet needs so be thankful for the way ur pet store cares for their animals

This pretty much describes 99% of the pet shops in Cyprus, it's best to avoid shopping in places like this as that just supports their practices and encourages them not to make any changes. Finding a good shop can be really hard (trust me, I had to really go out of my way just to find a shop where the cages were kept clean) but it's worth it even if you have to travel a bit further or pay a little more money! :)

Me : mum dad I need vodka Mum: goodness how have we raised you Me : it’s a great pet disinfectant Mum : oh Dad : how do we know for sureee 🤨

I love cage cleanout videos and I can't wait for your autumn cage tour! By the way is vodka the same thing as rubbing alcohol? So basically you can use a mixture of vodka and water to clean your cages? Just curious. Also what homemade cleaning detergents can be used to clean hamster cages besides water and vinegar solution?

@SomethingAnimal

Yes rubbing alcohol can be used to clean. I'm not sure about other homemade cleaners though I've only ever used vinegar, vodka and commercial cleaners :)

Well now I have a good reason to buy vodka 🤩🤩🤩😂

I find your channel very helpful as a pet owner I use an aspen paper mix but I got a hold of some hemp bedding do you have any opinions on it and maybe a wise opinion or two much appreciated if I can get some kind of reply great videos👍

Hi

I came here to make sure that new law in Europe didn't take away Erin's hamster videos...That new law about no videos from the EU in the US or something like that....Ohhh I'm so scared that I won't get to watch your videos Erin!!!

I love iodine. She's iconic 🤣🤣🤣

Who else saw that ant at 5:54 😂

hiii erins, i have a pair of robo sisters... i adopted them from a friend. it's been a few weeks since they arrived here. To make it easier to explain their names are Yelena and Svetlana. So, they've been running after and fighting and squeaking. Before, it was pretty fine. Both still do their daily activities, cheerful and all. But lately Yelena has become more powerful. Svetlana ended up hiding and sulking and not using wheel, no longer explore things. Yelena on the other hand has been soooo active and curious and energetic. I wonder if I could do anything to help Svet. She refuses to get out of her house these days. She's eating and drinking, but just hiding. FYI, I have two wheels for each, two hide outs. Previously I only have one drinking bottle, one food container, one bath. But now that Svet is sulking so much I prep two food containers and two bath and separate the levels of the cage. If Erin or anyone can tell me how to help Svet, I'd be truly grateful. ✨🌸

I'm the first viewer OMG Love ur vids really helpful keep it up

Nooo :( can’t wait for the next video though

I got m_ hamster about couple months ago and she still not that tame. I have to cages connected together. Yes ik i could make my own with like a clear tub but didnt know before i bought them but any suggestions.

6:52 Why?!?!? 😒😩😫 ,love iodine’s cage 💗👌

How can you leave us on that cliff hanger?!??!?

Make us wait. I see u😂🙄

the cage is good, but why do you use pellets they can barely burrow?

What kind of varnish do you use? I’m trying to make my own cage but I don’t know what kind of varnish to get

I'm thinking of getting the" midwest guinea pig cage plus" for my syrian hamster,.... is that an ok cage or not? the sq inches are 1,128 im sure.

My mom is giving me a hard time about getting the ikea detolf as a cage be cause it’s not “secure enough”. Is there any recommendations on how to secure the cage FULLY so the little Hammy won’t get out. I thought of magnets but I wanted other opinions

Who else saw a bug crawling on the floor at 5:52 like if you saw it 😂

What brand of wood pellets do you use? And is reclaimed wood pellets safe?

Ugh, you stink Erin! xD Now We have to wait so looooong! xD

At 5:52 ish there's a bug in the cage, idk if it a fly, or contributing to Iodine's fur thinning(mites etc) :D

Mites are teeny tiny little things, I think it was just a grain beetle. We have a lot of them this time of year and they frequently get into the cages and in videos! They're harmless to the animals but still a huge pest for us >.

Where did you get the little terrcota food dish from? I'm getting a hamster soon and I'm trying to find a food dish!

Not a rude question. But why do you use pellets instead of the soft bedding? Just wondering.

@SomethingAnimal

5 жыл бұрын

I think I mentioned this in the video but Iodine was very sensitive when it came to substrates and had suffered allergic reactions to some in the past (which caused her fur to fall out). Pellets were the safest option for her. You can't buy commercial paper bedding here and while I do make my own home made paper substrate for decorative purposes, it would take weeks to make enough to fill the entire cage and just wasn't a plausible option :)

Why do u use pellets for the bedding?
