Preparing for a hamster

We have the Bucastate wheel that is basically identical to the Niteangel and I love it. I'll probably swap it out for the 12" silent runner when Cinnamon gets larger, but it's a great starter wheel for a small Syrian and I'm sure would be a great full time wheel for robos or Chinese hamsters, etc.

Ooh now that's a thought - I hadn't thought it might be a Chinese hamster!
 
I have bought a multi-chamber style dig box. When I first saw this on Happy Henry Homes I knew I had to have it. It will allow me to provide different substrates and a hide without taking up as much space as having them separately. I will paint it with plastikote to help protect it from wee.

It's difficult to tell from the photo, how high up the entrance hole is - maybe 2 inches? I see your point though Elusive -some would spill inside the house - but maybe that doesn't matter, especially if it's an additional house rather than a main one. It will be very interesting to see how a hamster uses it.
 
I take it there is a hole on the outer panel to get into the house and from there into the dig boxes?
 
So if turned upside down it could just be a corner house?
 
Just catching up with this thread, what a fabulous idea Rainbow, how fantastic to be looking to give a home to another hamster that needs help. Looking forward to following the journey. 😃
 
Excellent carrier - it's identical to mine! I did a double take when I first saw the photo ha ha. Ooh that's my pet carrier. It's the ferplast guinea pig one isn't it? Maybe blue is the only colour option. I really love mine - it has a nice wide base and been used for a few hamsters.

Yes that is the one. It also comes in red and green. 🙂
 
Ah so it does come in different colours. I thought they were all blue. I'm very fond of mine. You can easily fit a small house in and lots of bedding. I'm still cautious about carrying it by the handles though so tend to still hold it underneath as well.

I would not carry it with the handles either. That does seem risky. Its good to know you like it.🙂
