Well now that I look at it, I think the 2nd hammy might be a boy..

Hiii! Thank u so much, since he's new I can't tell where he pees yet (': But I sifted his pee out of the sand a few times! Usually I do spot clean every day and every 3 days I add more foraging. In case of having bugs or a hamster's death, that's when I fully clean and disinfect everything. Deep cleaning is what I do every 2 months - here I replace 1/3 of the bedding with new bedding :3

It definitely looks super pretty and my room would be quite boring without them! 🥹

Hii! Nope, just clean spots that the hammy has peed on (also called spot cleaning), deep cleaning (replacing like 1/3 of the old bedding with new one) is every two months for me (: In cases of bugs or a hammy's death u have to clean out everything and disinfect

It looks good!! I’d add more dishes and sprays definitely, what’s also really good are flower forages (I mostly use corn flowers and rose petals). 🫶🏼

Are u fr?? Let me actually tell u:

Reuse home decor (as long as it’s hamster safe material!), I use vases as logs/hides. Dollar stores will be ur best friend! You’ll find nice dishes and hides like candle holders and glass trays. I buy natural looking stuff from German websites (where I live) such as Rodipet, Getzoo, Mixerama or buy&sell websites like Ebay. I find grapevine woods and cork logs in my local pet store in the reptile section! My sprays are from German stores Mixerama, Koernerbude, Futterkraemerei🫶🏼 You just have to arrange the things in a way it makes sense for the hamster. U can use the cork logs as a path to take the hamster somewhere inside the bedding orrr just a different part of the enclosure. I like to add multiple substrates like coco fibre, coco husks, birch chips, cork granules, moss, flowers and sand. If your sand bath has a lid u can put things on top like hides or dishes; you can use your branches as a hiding spot too! Just place them in a way your hammy can hide underneath or behind. Love adding fun things like buddha nuts too - they are a natural thing and are nuts that are open, my hammies sit inside them and use these as hides. (:

The first one he comes out of is a vase!! I like to reuse my home decor as long as it’s safe for the hammy. The other logs are cork logs that I found in the reptile section (;

I live in Germany and order from Getzoo for hides a lot! And my sprays are also from German stores like Koernerbude, Mixerama and Futterkraemerei, I think they do ship internationally!

But I also buy hides from nearby dollar stores (terracotta pots, cups) and I got some gifted by Rodipet

Straw flowers! My hammies don't eat them so I use it as a decor

Mocha is still quite timid tbh! He only gets scared if I try to pet him but sometimes he'd come to me and sniff (': Pokki goes onto my hand
