Hey all, I just posted my first hamster video =O

 

 

Unfortunately, Youtube has flagged me as being a child (grrrr, I think it's my voice...) so you can't comment on the video. If anyone has been able to fix this, let me know!

[~Boba the Hammy~]

Looks great! I do have to say that they actually sell 2 sizes for the wheel stand, s and m. The m fits the m and L wheels and the S fits the 8.6 inch one. In the video, does Mabel have the dwarf or Syrian sized MCH? Because boba’s looks so much bigger and your cage looks so roomy!

Yes, I put that description in the video, because when I bought the wheel stand back in October (and when I recorded the video), they only had one size of wheel stand. Since then they have posted a "Small" size, they didn't have immediately.

 

Mabel has the 9 inch wheel, I actually have 4 of the 11 inch wheels, but she still loves her 9 inch and still fits in it. When I gave her the choice of which wheel, she always ran on the 9 inch. So I let her keep it. She seems to be on the small size for Syrian females /shrug

 

The Multichamber hide she has is this one: It's a Large 2 chambered.

Do you know if this is suitable for other wheels? I have a Silent Runner (9 inch?).

I'm not sure how well it would work, these stands are fitted specifically for Niteangel's wheel bases. I suppose that it could provide some stability, but I believe the silent runners have rectangular bases so I'm not sure if it would fit at all. 

 

Great work Kikya! Very enjoyable watch.

I also have a 9 inch Silent Runner that I no longer use and it doesn't really fit the base. The Silent runner has a rectangular base and it doesn't really sit in the groove of the Niteangel wheel stand, which is curved. I tried a few different things before to raise the Silent Runner. The only thing that I ever got to work, kind of, is I put it on top of my NiteAngel Chamber and I secured it with those little Velcro stickers on the four corners.

 

It was not my favorite method and unfortunately Mabel's hide still bears the marks of those stickers lol I was able to get it off the bottom of the wheel but not the wooden hide.

 

I would put it on a flat wooden surface and kind of bury the base under bedding (compress it good so it stays down). I think it's best secured on a bar cage as the stand isn't very good comparatively to the Niteangel.

Thank you very much!

 

She loves that pink tube too lol

 

Yes, I found her on Craigslist, a family had gotten her for the kids but they weren't "taking care of her" so the family decided to give her away. She was VERY skittish when I brought her home. It took a while for her to be comfortable but I think she was so happy to have a bigger space and her first sand bath. She spent like 2 hours in her sand bath that first day.
