Her cage and everything has now arrived! I'm so excited! Going to set it all up tomorrow!!
ITS HUGE omg.

Yay! Can't wait to see the new set up! Flump is one lucky hammie! I found a video by Erin's Animals on changing hamster cages and I thought it might be useful. Here is the link:

Have fun setting it up! I'm looking forward to seeing the final product. Have fun!

I will post some photos later today!

The cage is huge and orginally i wanted it on my chest of drawers where the previous cage was...
Its too big and i can't reach the top (i'm kinda short!) and cleaning it out will be a struggle i think. Think i'm going to have to do some rearranging in my room, move an old rat cage and put this huge cage on the floor!

lol! have fun, I wouldn't say it's huge but it is a fair size & cages never quite seem to fit into the space you plan for them, one of the joys of hamsters is having to rearrange your whole space to suit them

Before getting it, I never measured it out to get a feel as to just how large it will be. I think this is why its such a shock.
I have 2 other cages in my room that are larger (for rats) but I never imagined a hamster living in a cage this large! My boyfriend helped me set it all up and he thinks i'm crazy for having a large cage with just one tiny hamster in it! haha :P

Here is a photo of the cage setup!
I'm trying to make it as natural as possible-that plastic level will go, if I can find a wooden level online. Any UK links anyone?

She will be getting a bigger wheel, when I next get paid I will get her one-a wooden one I think!
She has loads of wood based toys to chew and play on.

-See-saw
-Wooden Reptile Tunnel
-Wooden Bridge
-Wooden Bendy Bridge (a small and a large one)
-Climbing Frame
-Cardboard Chew Tube
-Wooden Chew Treat
-Wooden Steps
-Hanging Wooden Chew
-Hanging Treat
-Wheel
-House x2
-Food Bowl and Water Bottle

Flump seems to love the new cage! She just keeps on exploring and running and jumping off of the new toys haha! She seems so happy!

She's not too keen on the bridge I don't think, I haven't seen her on it. I moved it a little so its easier for her to access, but I don't think she's a massive fan xD
