Talking DIY Hamster Cage Tour & Hamsters Reactions!

Hey everyone!

I've been meaning to post this video for a while, finally sat down and went though all the footage last night. Sorry about the quality of the video, I have zero experience in video editing so it probably shows.

This is the Ikea Regissor Bookcase my boyfriend and I built. We spent 2 weeks working on it and cost us around $600 CAD for everything to build it. Totally worth it though, the hamsters have been living in it now for almost 2 weeks (I said 3 weeks originally but that was a complete brainfart on my end, apparently I can't read a calendar properly lol). They seem very happy, I'd definitely do this project again if I could! Some changes have been made to the cages since the videos were taken. We removed the platform out of Marbles cage until he adjusts to his new home. Only in the past few days has he started to really settle in, he didn't attempt to escape at all last night (flailing up the glass like a lunatic) which is a mini achievement. Maizie had the temporary 6.5" silent spinner, shes a baby at just over 4 inches in length so the wheel fit her but we were waiting on a delivery of an 11 inch Wodent Wheel. I think it arrived a day or two after the video.



Overall its been a great project and the cages are doing well! I'm excited to move my third baby into it next month
Please don't be shy on giving me constructive criticism on the video so I know how I can improve for future videos. That would really help me a lot!

Hope you like it!

I want bookcase cages, someone tell my OH for valentines!!

It looks amazing and the video was great. Watching Marble and Maizie was a delight and I'm sure the little one will love their home once they arrive. Exciting times for you I am sure.

What a wonderful video, I sat there and smiled and laughed at Marbles & Maizie's first tour of their homes.
Twinkle my youngest came out of her hut wondering what the noise was about lol!
I'll say it again, that is an absolutely amazing home.
