6 years ago today I bought my first hamster as an adult and royally fucked up. The internet yelled at me for buying a bad cage and sawdust and rightfully so. This is 8week old Ripley Ham salad and a horrific cage I purchased but changed her set up in 1 week. Now my hams live in a 120x50x50 tank

(I was a normal child in that regard but it still bums me out. Poor hermit crabs deserved better than me. Or to be kidnapped off of a beach and sold as pets but that's a longer story)
Hamgri-La.
I made my hamster cage out of a huge plastic tub and custom made a mesh lid, but I had a free standing wheel which was never as good.
I made a detachable tube system for mine so I could attach a bigger play area under supervision which was taller and full of boxes and stuff to dig in. Very happy hammy.
A friend of my then girlfriend's daughter bought a hamster despite being told she couldn't have one, and the mother put her foot down and made her get rid of it. Knowing I'm a soft touch the hamster ended up with me.
I am on my second adopted female Syrian. They are so fussy and sassy, no wonder they get surrendered most often 😥. So satisfying to just let them be a hamster :).
I love seeing your hammy posts
