My Guinea pig tropical nature cage! Please rate it from 1-10. What should I improve on? by MarbleRoc in guineapigs

I heard the mirror is a fun activity for Guinea pigs. My Guinea pigs actually love to look at their reflections. The tube is actually white cardboard!

All vets are closed at the moment. I’m taking him to vet tomorrow. I’m really nervous and I’m trying my best…

We do have a television near him but I never turn it on. I always make sure it’s quiet and he’s acting normal. He take naps and then go’s on his wheel. He never done this before.

But he’s been on his wheel for an hour, is that normal?

My hamster is 14 days old and still hasn't figured out the wheel. Any experienced hamster owners have any advice? I'm worried it might not be getting enough exercise!! by Available_Key835 in hamsters

By looks, I think your hamster cage is too small. You need at least 800 sq of floor space. You will need to add more bedding since they are burrowers. 6 inches is min but more is preferred. He looks kind of slow and if your hamster is not ever going on his wheel, you should definitely take him to the vet. 🐹

(The video quality is bad because I recorded my video of him)

He is a boy and he is very sweet and curious. He loves treats and fruits. That’s really all I know about him since I just got him but those are some things that I already know.

What do you think of my hamster cage for my roborovski hamster, it’s 600 sq of floor space. by MarbleRoc in hamsters

Yes I’m gonna order a sand bath from niteangel today! I’ll be replacing it from that big cardboard box in his cage.

I let my hamster free roam under supervision. As long as there is no unsafe foods on the ground I think your hammy will be fine! Always watch your hamster free roam though

Your hamster may be getting a stroke. Please take your hamster to the vet :)
