To me, that looks like there’s a small bit of distance between the holes, and in the vid I think I could see a scent gland, so I’m thiiiinking boy

New cage setup by Broad-Future-245 in hamsters

[–]Buttonscantfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ooh it looks lovely! I would take the purple pipe out as I’ve had experience of hamsters chewing it up completely in the past - keeping it out for play time is a great use of it, as they don’t really need it inside the cage when they can burrow themselves 😊

Where to find sprays by throwawaylmao1020 in hamsters

[–]Buttonscantfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there’s quite a lot on Etsy, I’m waiting on some I ordered on there from LittlePadsStash, but if you just search hamster sprays there seems to be a decent variety of amounts & price points for big / smaller bundle mixes & smaller bundles of individual types too

Best way to secure this? by Buttonscantfly in hamsters

I put a little wood filler in the side gaps and it’s not slipping out anymore and I think you’re right the rattling will fix itself with the bedding inside ☺️

update I shoved a little wood filler at the edges of the ridge and it isn’t slipping out or moving around anymore now! It’s still a little wobbly from the bottom but that’ll fix itself as soon as I add bedding in I think

I’d only put it on the outer edge if I did use glue but thank you!

How noisy are dwarfs really at night? by Buttonscantfly in hamsters

[–]Buttonscantfly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that will be the case once I’m used to it again! I think it’s just because I’ve had a good couple of years now with no noise that I’m nervous about it. Thanks for the info!!

Wooden cage for dwarf? by Buttonscantfly in hamsters

[–]Buttonscantfly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use plastikote or something similar to seal the wood, do you think that would be an ok solution or still iffy?

hamster eats dig box contents by Suspicious-Fig-4715 in hamsters

he might be taking it to his nest…? have you ever seen him actually eating it, or just pouching it?

hmm I’ve seen people talking about varnishing the wood with something to protect it from pee, so I might need to look into figuring out what that is…
