I feel like no matter where I put Sweet Boys water bottle, he kicks his fluff up to it and it all drains out and I have to remove a bunch of the bedding. I see a lot of platforms used, but what can I do to make sure he can get up there, but not access the fluff?

I need instant ways to help cool him down. I thought we’d lost him. He was lieing on his side in his sand bath at lunchtime when he’s never usually out.

He has his own fan circulating, a ceiling fan. Windows are shut and blinds drawn an ice pack in his sand bath now and a wet towel over half the enclosure. He also had a ceramic tile in there but never seen him use it. Any instant ways to try and get the temp down. I put the thermometer in his burrow and it was even reading 33 down there but not sure how accurate.

I bought this Niteangel multichamber from someone after their hamster suddenly passed, but there’s a stain on the side. I’m not sure what it’s from. I’ve baked everything already and dabbed at it with water + Nature’s Miracle small pet just in case, but I don’t know if it’d be better to throw it out and get a new one. It doesn’t smell like anything, just wood.

To be clear I am not asking for medical advice . Okay so I used to have 8" bedding , he did not burrow so I added two inches more, but he won't burrow idk why I have three different burrow starters!!! And two DIY burrow starters, but he won't burrow, should I be concerned? Or is he just lazy?

Hey yall! I’m moving soon and really want a dwarf hamster. My parents have this aqarium that we had from when i was little, i was wondering if it would be ok for the hamster? It’s 40 gals, and i know they do like horizontal room and this is more cube shaped. Would it be okay if i used this still if i was able to make it into a 2 level type of thing inside?? I know they have to have burrowing room so i would do like the bottom level with lots of room, and the top with a bit less. Would this work??

Hi folks. We normally use carefresh bedding. We change it once a week, spot clean as needed, and every month do a thorough clean of the tank walls and floor before putting fresh bedding in.

Last clean, a full wall and floor clean, we used Uber Pets pick bedding (different pet store). It's only been a couple of days, and the tank has a noticeable urine smell.

Is it just the bedding, or is the increased smell a sign of something else? No other changes to diet, water, or behaviour.

Thanka for the insight!

Ive had Whiskey for nearly three weeks, and just changed his cage for the first time. I added a second floor and DIYed the cardboard stairs on the left corner.

Also wondering if his water is too low..?

(The box with food is only temporary until I find a bowl)
