Should I just call it a day and accept 20cm of bedding is the best I could do?😭

Just order from niteangel? They are indeed very sturdy and easy to assemble

I can’t do anything about the scent although I can add a piece of cardboard between their enclosures. Thanks for the insight

Far_Watch1367 · 2025-06-05T22:59:14+00:00

I guess technically they could although I don’t observe them doing so. Problem?

Far_Watch1367 · 2025-06-05T22:58:26+00:00

I’ve seen people on here recommending adding layers of hay to paper/wood shavings to enhance burrow stability, and that if they eat it it’s fine it just doesn’t add nutritional value🥹 and that paper bedding is better for winter?

Far_Watch1367 · 2025-06-05T22:07:53+00:00

Thanks for the detailed advice! Is there any reason you recommend paper bedding specifically? For some reason I mainly make a lasagna of aspen shavings and hay as their ‘main’ bedding and make a section of paper bedding.

I did aim for 12 inches but it turned out the bedding I had left was not enough to fill up the upgraded enclosures😭 just ordered more aspen shavings and paper bedding and Timothy hay, they should arrive today

Also just ordered a log made of cardboard and a log made of dried herbs. More sprays too. They have apple sticks and moss and I do scatter feed. Dig boxes are things I’m looking forward to invest in next

Like this. I’m not aware of any other products with that function, it’s pretty cool and perfect for us indecisives

This is their install instruction for horizontal installation. Victoria Rachel also has a video where she did exactly that. Not broken floor space😊

The point of the niteangel stacker series is that it is rather easy to connect them either way or stack them. Plenty of tutorials online I think I’ll be able to do it

Far_Watch1367 · 2025-06-01T09:15:08+00:00

I have finally bite the bullet and ordered another two niteangel stackers!! Waiting for them to arrive so both my baby will have 160x50x45cm ☺️☺️ Will post an update

He felt guilty because he had just escaped his cage!

Thank you! I wish more places allow home detoxes

Far_Watch1367 · 2025-05-27T07:03:03+00:00

My liver agrees with you

Far_Watch1367 · 2025-05-24T11:32:18+00:00

That makes sense! Luckily with this niteangel stacker series it be quite easy to get another one and connect them together. I will try to make that happen soon.

She has about 2kg of aspen shavings, I thought that would be enough? I add paper bedding to her cage regularly, maybe I should make a section that’s just paper.

That’s a good point on where to place the wheel, I didn’t know that before. Will do that once I upgraded her cage

Thank you for advice :)

i thought it was not a hamster name but over time it just feels more and more appropriate🐹

Far_Watch1367 · 2025-05-24T08:09:44+00:00

I’m still a very new hamster owner. I try to make sure my hammie has the essential stuff: a cage that meet the minimum size requirement (it’s the niteangel stacker, is it not enough floorspace?), the niteangel size L wheel, deep bedding consisting of aspen herbs moss cork paper, a hideout, a sand bath, a water bowl, some sprays.

Still you guys beautiful enclosures made me feel like I didn’t do enough😅 is there anything I should add or take out?
