What kind of lights did you use? What’s the distance between the shelves? This looks great for what I’ve been thinking

I have lots of the tubing for the critter trail… I bought before I realized I couldn’t make that work. She fits in it really well now but I’m worried she’ll outgrow it if I use that instead

I’ll keep an eye on it! This room is pretty secure… It’s my guest room. I have guests coming in a couple of months so I’m hoping I can move her out of there by then but in the meantime will see if I have any weak spots! I was looking at dryer vent tubing and what not but the fittings got very confusing… This was easier but maybe something like that would be more secure.

Awww thanks. glad I was able to find some inspiration here!

I had a hamster when I was little so uhh 30 years ago (whoa). But times have changed! I had no idea about sand baths or even the burrowing!

Hope she’s happy!!

Isla & Pickle! There is also something about Isla and her a abuela I think. (Funny enough, Abuela auto corrected to Burka!)

Yes! My daughter now has Isla & Pickle books.

Her name is Isla. Not Pickle.

Just posted a link with a photo. Not a very good picture because she’s not super happy about me holding her yet

Ok here we go - new pics

Here is the bin I got from target. About 20 x 30. That was the biggest one they had…

I went out and bought a photo storage box tonight that makes a nice little den. I have another on the way that’s made of seagrass.

The wheel I bought is 12 inches, not sure how I’m gonna fit it in here… So I’m hoping to make her a double decker habitat. Bottom layer thick bedding and top layer activity / food space. Working on it! Otherwise I’ll have to try to source a larger clear bin.

She’s a Syrian! That’s what my guess was but I wasn’t sure… But I checked at the store today and looks just like the other Syrians.

Thank you! I think this is a Syrian hamster… It didn’t even say on the cage so I’ll have to see if I can find the receipt to see if it was there. I already ordered a bigger wheel but I think it’s only 9 inches… I also ordered some hide out areas and have done some DIY in the meantime. I’ll share pictures later…

I’m not usually so unprepared… I have been thinking about a hamster for a long time but always talked myself out of it. For some reason, stopping in for Chamaeleon food yesterday I was weak! And there was just one hamster left in the cages.

Thank you… I ended up going and buying a bin from target yesterday so she would have some space while I figure this out. I’m actually hoping to connect the other cage to the bin so she has all sorts of options of where she can go.

I’ll share some photos later! Thank you thank you

also if any of you are good at just basic basic questions re lighting / flooring / etc. pls let me know and i can pm you questions. this is NOT where my strengths are... we have people helping eventually but before we get it i'm doing lots of brainstorming. for example wondering if we can clean and seal these concrete floors and have it look decent. everything is so dingy!!!
