I finally finished my hamsters house

[Paulie Walnuts]

I finished the construction of my hamster house. I've been looking all over town for a short haired Syrian male. I found a lot of black ones, but I had my heart set on one like the little fella in the picture in the header of this website. (the one on the right)

I finally found one similar to the one in the picture. I had to drive to the next county to get him. He's being a little shy right now. I will take a picture of him and post it soon.

Congratulations on your new ham! I’m really looking forward to seeing him!

I love your cage too! How many square inches is it? The setup looks good too. You may want more substrate in your cage especially since you have a platform. If he falls you want something soft he can land on. Ideally, you should have 5-7 in. of substrate in your cage. You can also add plain, unscented tissue to your cage. Rub your hands all over the tissue or stick it up your sleeve for a few hours so your scent gets on it. Then put it in the cage. This is a great soft bedding material and with your scent on it, your ham will get used to your scent. This will help when taming comes along. Hope this helps!

Congrats on your new ham, look forward to meeting him when he's settled.
Your cage does look nice, I agree about the substrate, if you could make a small platform to stand the wheel on to keep it steady & above the substrate you could put a really nice deep layer in there.

Hey guys, thanks for the substrate information. I will build a small platform and use velcro to steady the stand.

The bottom floor is 877 square inches.

That’s a great sized cage!

That's a lovely cage. How's your hammy liking it?

That looks so adorable, I love the little details, especially the fencing and the palm trees.
