Steven’s 200 qt Bin Cage Tour
Little Steven, the Roborovski hamster also got a Niteangel Multi-Chamber Hide for Christmas 2020!
Just like for Sofia, I originally installed it over a large sand bath. Steven, however, is less neat and organized than Sofia, and his mult-chamber hide over sand turned into one, giant, whiz palace.
It actually was such a mess that I decided to take the mult-chamber hide out and wash it before I gave it back to him and placed it in the cage arrangement shown in this video.
This new setup seems to be working pretty well. Steven seems interested in all the new things and I’ve begun hiding seeds in various little nooks for him to enjoy finding.
I by no means feel that my bin cage is “done” or perfect! This is a work in progress and probably always will be, as I will want to give Steven an enriched life while adjusting his surroundings to meet his needs. I felt that it would be helpful to document and share my bin-cage set-up progression for anyone who has hamsters or is looking to get one.
