just a little excited tidbit, hehe.
one of my best friends owns two hamsters, and she's super quiet abt them (doesn't show us pictures, etc.). she sent me photos of their cages on snapchat, and yep... they were crittertrails. i'm the animal nerd in my friend group, so i was happy to give her some pointers on hamster care!! i suggested building bin cages (29 gallons each) for them, and she's planning on doing that. i'm so happy my immense knowledge of this was able to help not only her, but her hamsters as well!! <3 it's also cheaper than buying a crittertrail, from what she said.
@keriae
oh, alright! :0 thank you aa !!
@the enchantress
thank you for all of the tips !! i do plan on getting a detolf for the cage, and i've had some hamsters at the animal shelter i volunteer at, so i'll check that out! carefresh has been on my shopping list for quite a while now, and i've been looking at wheels.
chews are something i plan on having, but i'll make sure to have a TON :>

I would recommend introducing a pair of kittens to her via the carrier method instead of another older female - that way when she passes the new rat(s) won’t be left alone, and kittens tend to be easier to introduce too. So pleased to hear she’s in a better situation now.

(for guinea pigs) i understand it's more convenient than bedding since it's easier to see the poop and easier to clean the poop, but what about pee? like, wouldn't the fleece absorb the pee since it's a cloth then the pee would dry and it would smell and crust and all that nastiness? i'm just so confused :'L

i’ve been looking at DIY cage options, and i’m stuck between building a cage with the ikea BILLY height extension units, or BILLY bookcases (without shelves and with one side removed.)
i think my parents are going to let me get one soon, finally!! i’ve been thinking of names and i’m in love with the names nugget, shuri, and pippa.
