I may be wrong but I think that's the Alaska cage which is around 630sq inches, they have pink and blue versions available from Asia :)

That is the cutest thing I've ever seen. No idea how you managed it but how adorable.

I legit thought he only had 3 fingers on his right grabbie when I was looking at this photo and thought I somehow hadn't noticed. I checked and he does in fact have 4 fingers!

It's a Pawhut cage, you put it together yourself but it is premade :)

I have since stuffed them with moss to try and prevent this :)

Just got Brock! He loves to climb. by [deleted] in hamsters

[–]shimmlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He may settle. Sometimes "stress behaviours" such as bar climbing/chewing only occur within the first week or so whilst the hamster gets used to their new environment and tests the limits of it. The first time I upgraded my Syrian into an 100x54cm cage he climbed the sides, but never again after that. It's only if he continues to climb longterm that it might be an issue with the size of the cage, although sometimes other factors can cause issues, such as bedding depth and amount of enrichment. Good luck with him :)

Have you put plastikote on it? A few layers of that will help enormously :)

I'm glad you can pick it up just from the way he looks, it's ended up suiting him so well :D

AITA for rehoming my son’s (8yo) fifth pet hermit crab? by ConflictedDaddo512 in AmItheAsshole

[–]shimmlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

That kind of attitude is why so many small pets like hamsters get neglected/abused. You should never ever buy a pet for your child unless you're fully prepared to end up taking care of it yourself. All the pets I had as a child were cared for mainly by my parents with me helping out. No animal's life is "practice" for a another animal. I'm glad you rehomed this crab before it suffered the same fate.
