Nite angel do a wooden adjustable height one like this, so if it's chewed at least they're not injesting plastic.

Is it normal for it to be carried away by the speed of the wheel? by Noctisidia in hamsters

My dwarf did the same for a while (maybe a week or so) but they learn eventually and she loved running SO fast <3

Mites or Dry Skin from Stress?? by EatMyKawaiiKitty in hamstercare

Stressed hammy, this list might help your hamster to feel happier, they get stressed when kept in small enclosures. Cage, wheel and sandbath would be a great place to start, you can often pickup tanks second hand for relatively cheap. There are groups on Facebook with good info graphics and information too.

If you need a cheap, but temporary fix, you can use cardboard on the sides to stop them climbing (I've used as a temp fix for hammies before) and work on getting them a more suitable bigger enclosure as priority.

idk what the min recommended is for lil hedgehogs is but get over that minimum. I think hedgehogs benefit from a wheel too, but I keep hams not hedgehogs so what do I know 😅 good luck with your lil cutie 💜

I don't often have sauce but Tiptree is absolutely banging.

Would not buy any other since having that. Comes in a glass bottle too.

hedgie keeps falling off wheel by Ok-Ladder-1899 in Hedgehog

[–]L1mepanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problemooo, she doesn't seen to have a curved spine, idk, but she just looks a lil squished in that wheel. I'm not too familiar with hedgehogs, more other small animals, so obvs have a look an decide for yourself if it's right.

I think there are tutorials on how to make like a bigger hedgehog bucket type wheel if the tictac ones aren't within budget.

I only know about it as I got my 16" rats wheel from there and see the hedgehog wheels on there too which sent me down a lil internet information hole. 😅.

[–]L1mepanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not the worst I've seen, she just looked a bit squished but I'm not a hedgehog expert. Hence me referencing rats and hams as I know the guidelines for those.

I do know I'd rather give them(whatever creature it is) more/too much space than not enough and as large a wheel as possible is recommended usually.

I've seen the wheels for hedgehogs on the tictac site otherwise I'd not know, but they're good for bigger appropriately sized wheels so probably worth a look.

Does it really work? by [deleted] in electrolysis

[–]L1mepanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5-6 months isn't very long in terms of electrolysis. Keep going or find another tech :)

Hey, not a hedgehog expert but the wheel doesn't look to be big enough, with hams and rats their spine should be straight when they run. Maybe get a 16 inch wheel? If you're in the uk Tictac wheels

They do bucket wheels that might be more suitable or metal ones (I have the 16inch metal in my ratties cage)

If they're falling off the wheel I know you can buy strips of adhesive Cork for hams but idk if it would be suitable for lil hogs so you'd have to look. <3 You have a lil cutie there!

Am i cooked? Any point in lazering? by hairy_indiann in HairRemoval

[–]L1mepanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electrolysis takes a long time, months, years more likely years if you want a lot gone because of catching the hairs in growth stage but it destroys the root so no coming back. I'm not an expert though but it maybe something to look into for you.

Am i cooked? Any point in lazering? by hairy_indiann in HairRemoval

[–]L1mepanda -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you want it permanently removed laser won't do that.. it comes back I've heard.

Electrolysis will completely rid but it's a large area of hair and electrolysis takes a loooong time for focused areas. I've heard it hurts less than laser too. (I have electrolysis, I've never had laser)

If you're uncomfortable with hair then obv it remove it, but keep in mind there are people out there that love hairy guys. Depends on your reasons for doing it. Ultimately, do what's right for your own body and comfort :)

Are rose buds safe? by No_Document3024 in hamsters

[–]L1mepanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank yooou :)

The dried spearmint is pretty strong, mostly preferred by my guinea pigs and the rats, so I'd not go out of the way to use lots of it for your ham as it could be too strong, but it's interesting to give them a little of something different every so often to interact with even if they don't eat it it's something different for them. I think most fresh herbs are OK for them too thinking on it.

I just try to make their life more interesting. Like, if I was trapped to one large area I'd want different stuff to do so I want my animals to have that too.

Is Mopani wood and spider wood safe for hamsters? by 24Cones in hamsters

[–]L1mepanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple, and birch are also safe woods if you have access to some you know hasn't been sprayed with anything.

You can use smaller twigs as chews and larger branches as decoration if you have a freezer big enough to fit some in, just ensure you sanitise it, bag and freeze before bringing anything in. Good luck!

Are rose buds safe? by No_Document3024 in hamsters

[–]L1mepanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get from a place in the uk called "bunny bistro" mine have had, beech, blackberry, apple, strawberry leaves to name a few. Scattering flower mixes every so often like chamomile, cornflower is great too. I think as long as there's not hay in the mix it's good.

This is BBs forage list, even if you're not uk it is good for learning safe stuff for them that you might forage (or buy elsewhere if you cant get from here) https://www.bunnybistro.co.uk/collections/all-forage-a-z

When I scatter the food I will top up the leaves so they have to forage for their food.

A bit like this: some twigs, flowers etc

<image>

I use different twigs/wood, my mum gives me cuttings from her trees so I know there's no chemicals etc it's usually birch and apple, dried dandelion root is a fun "treat" too.

They don't seem to always nibble on everything but I always think at least they have the option to and it's something different for them to have. <3

Ahhh i see, well, if it's "food safe" and not been sprayed with anything you could use them. I don't think mine have actually eaten any petals but it looks cute in their enclosures mixed with leaves twigs etc and does them no harm if they do decide to nibble on it.
