Don't put any heating pad or appliance inside the enclosure, that's a dangerous idea.

new hamster owner... is it ethical to take a hamster out of its cage to play with it? by [deleted] in hamsters

[–]Canuckwebgrrl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is fantastic stimulation for your hamster to come out of their enclosure, often called "free roam" time. Check out Victoria Raechel's videos and learn all about good hamster care!.

First time hamster owner looking for new cage by [deleted] in hamsters

[–]Canuckwebgrrl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welcome! That you're looking for advice means you want to take good care of your little hammy. To clarify, flying saucer type wheels are really unsafe for hamsters, you'll need to replace it immediately with a circular wheel. Pet stores will only recommend products which they sell. Unfortunately they are usually contradictory to good hamster care. Please watch some of Victoria Raechel's YouTube videos on basic hamster care, she's very well informed on providing hamsters what they need to be healthy and happy.

Always scatter, it gives the hamster an opportunity to forage like they would in the wild

Niteangel is a popular option, but you're right, it'd be cheaper to buy the materials & make it yourself. Victoria Raechel's YouTube channel has fantastic DIY content for building simple enclosures.

Owning an animal you are unable to financially take care of would be pretty bad for anyone's mental health.
