![]() ![]() The ventilation is terrible, your hamster can’t see/smell/hear enough or use any of their senses properly. They can’t get out, might suffocate or panic, might run against furniture and seriously injure themselves. Never ever ever put your hamster or any animal in a hamster ball. Do use unperfumed toilet paper for nesting material, don’t use “hamster wool” -> it can tangle around a limb and seriously hurt and even kill your hamster!ġ0. Also make sure that your hamster does have enough hiding places like coconuts, small houses, toilet rolls!ĩ. Hamsters need a house with at least 2 or more chambers to store food, sleep etc. You can use those little baths as toilets, but you still need a bigger sand bath!Ĩ.Hamsters love rolling around in the sand, for them it’s like showering. Plastic gets swallowed, splinters, can injure or even kill your hamster.Your hamster will be extremely happy and dig around and build tunnels all day (night).Ī study also found out that (golden) hamsters need up to 12-36 inches of bedding, so just do your best do give them the highest amount of bedding possible. Your hamster needs enough bedding to dig and build tunnels. Those tubes are not suitable at all: Hamsters get stuck or suffocate in them easily.ĥ. ![]() Minimum wheel size for bigger hamsters: 12 inches!Ĥ.Minimum wheel size for dwarf hamsters: 9-10 inches.Results of those wheels are: spine problems, backache, stress, injuries! Hamster must be able to run with a completely straight back.Your hamster (always!) needs a hamster wheel - and it must be a lot bigger than you might think! Behavior like this is a signal for stress because the cage is too small or that they need more bedding:ģ.Living in cages like this for them is like a human living in an elevator - a lot too small and even dangerous!.Hamsters are loners - keeping them together often results in stress, fighting, injuries and death. When you aren’t dealing with a company and are dealing with an individual, the item you want is ALWAYS going to seem like it is vastly overpriced, when in reality, it is actually far under priced for the amount of work/ingenuity/materials/experience/etc that really went into the final product You are paying for a labor of love, not just an end product. So next time you find that your favorite artist has raised their commission prices, keep in mind that for many artists this as their sole means of income and they charge accordingly so that they can at least try to get by.Īnd as a side note: MANY artists are underselling themselves because consumers have been taught by big business (and the internet) that they should get something for next to nothing (and sometimes just for free), and that people often forget about the MANY faces behind those cheap and affordable products everyone takes for granted. In essence, you are saying that they are not worth the amount they wish to charge and should NOT be paid a fair wage in exchange for all of their experience and effort. The things people do not understand when they see someone’s commissions prices the person doing the work needs to be paid a fair wage for the work they do (and when cost of living/their bills go up, so do the prices they charge). So demanding someone lower their commission prices because you ‘don’t feel you should have to pay that much’ is demeaning the artist and their work.
