red lights and hamsters

[liana_y2kuk]

You can buy red led strips on ebay for <£5. They are in the fish section. I have some red left over from when I redecorated my aquarium. I was thinking about asking if red was ok for hamsters. I will set them up tonight.

Photos to follow.

I just have a red LED light that sits on top and held in place with tape. I want to get some lights that can actually clip on and dont look so ghetto. But the light I have works wonderfully. It lights it up enough so I can see her but not so much that it keeps me awake at night.

I have a red LED strip on my dwarves tank, got it on eBay and doesn't bother them

I can't have much lights in my room. They would keep me awake. I can tolerate noise but not light. But your cage does look nice.

I have been doing this with my chinese,its fun to watch her, i had topaint the bulb cos of its strange size but lickily its energy saving so they dont het hot, she dosnt mind it, she has been out more since her temp wheel went in. if people want to try it 1st before buying expensive bulbs some tesco's sell cheep back lights for bikes, just so yousee the effect before you buy its fun i recomend it
