wooden hamster villa

Aloha crossies,

as my lovely image: 18263 decided that we're in need of something "alive" in our flat, she bought a hamster nearly 1 week ago.
But as i've seen this shit cage she brang with i decided to build him one by my own. so i simply want to share my new pet and it's villa with you guys:)

That's why i took some pictures of georgie, thats his name, and his almighty villa which he's owning now. Here we go...


Sry for the bad quality, the pics are taken with my handy!

My hamster georgie (he is a she but i like the name georgie so it's her problem)

Georgies almighty wooden villa

Her villa has 3 floors so far, which are connected with 2 ladders, 1 wooden cottage, 3 little tunnels made out of toilet paper roles and ofc a sand bath.

I was also thinking about some real trees which i'll collect in the forest or maybe just simply buy 1 or 2.
Do you have also a hamster or some similar pet? if yes show me also a pic if him / his cage maybe? what could i add / change in my current cage?

Thank's for reading fellas, i hope you've enjoyed this little insight into georgie and his villa. Have a nice day!

hey, if you made its house out of wood - i hope you put the house inside something metal... the hamster will chew its way through the wood and then you wont have a hamster anymore because it will live under your floorboards!
▼
hAMMER 6 Aug 2010, 15:24
ye, i've also heared about it already. so you mean something like a metal bowl? or should be enough right? so he can't escape if he should bite through.

Sheep 6 Aug 2010, 15:30
put a wire mesh around the outside or something. he will just chew through the wood and make an escape
Parent
▼
hAMMER 6 Aug 2010, 15:34
wouln't he also be able to escape through the mesh?
Parent
▼
Sheep 6 Aug 2010, 15:37
not if its tight mesh?

hAMMER 6 Aug 2010, 15:38
all right thanks for the tip. but i can also put the mesh inside the wall right? don't need to be outside cause it's looking ugly.
Parent

Sheep 6 Aug 2010, 15:39
yeah i was thinking that too :P you could maybe even use hard plastic sheets
Parent
▼
hAMMER 6 Aug 2010, 15:41
well i think i'll use the metal mesh cause i don't want that she still has a "view" on the wood :)

and watchout with the top if she can lift it up she might kill herself (mine did it), she lifts it up and tries to go trough but then it falls down again and boem hung itself

hAMMER 6 Aug 2010, 15:40
ye man, i've already noticed that. she is sitting on her cottage which is on the 3rd floor and close to the wall / cover^^
Parent

pietje666 6 Aug 2010, 15:47
so make sure she cant lift it up with a lock or something like it

hAMMER 6 Aug 2010, 15:31
so it would be enough to add some "plastic walls" outside of the walls + outside the ground right?
Parent

Robert 6 Aug 2010, 15:35
tbh I'd put it inside because in some time hamster can harm the contruction itself, those little bastards really like wood :D and paper, give it some paper sometimes
Parent
▼
hAMMER 6 Aug 2010, 15:45
ye i've also red about that paper thing. it's simply newspaper sites you're putting into the cage? or blank paper? they like to burst the paper right?
Parent
▼
Robert 6 Aug 2010, 15:46
I think blank paper would be better at least from my experience, also toilet rolls are cool for hamster, they like to sit inside them and then eat them :D

gerbils are so much more fun than hamsters :) they are more active.

Used to keep loads of gerbils and my name is Gerrard so got the nick name gerbells :P
▼
hAMMER 6 Aug 2010, 19:22
well, it's not that she is not active (well tbh could be a bit more). but mostly they're in in the night, when i have to got to sleep cause of work :/
