so we have a lot of packages for lenny's
enclosure so today i am going to be redoing
lenny's setup in his cage it's been the same way for quite a while
and i've ordered some new accessories for him that i wanted to
include so first i wanted to show you guys everything that i got
so the first couple of items are actually
from amazon and this is from the brand NightAngel
they do a lot of RodiPet type of products so i'm really excited to
see, oooooh
so this is
ceramic hide so this is just good for summertime
it can keep them nice and cool it also gives them another place to go in
and hide uh so it's just another type of enrichment
so i'm gonna play jenga oh my gosh no so this one is
the uh ceramic tunnel that matches with the ceramic
hide and this is syrian size i think they make a dwarf
size as well
ta-da look at this so
you can have this kind of connected that noise though you can have them
connected sort of like this um inside the enclosure the next thing
from NiteAngel that i got uh is this
so it oh my gosh so it looks like this it has the logo
right there and it has an opening there and opening there but
you put this on uh the inside up against like glass or
something and that way you can actually see inside these holes
so it's a little bit of a fun way to still be able to see your hamster but
give them the feeling of privacy um and yeah the next package actually
was sent to me by the lovely
bethany's animals on instagram she has her own shop
for hamster packages and she was kind enough to send me one she has
a bunch of different themes i think this theme
actually is the boredom breaker theme which i thought was a really cute idea
so there's some really pretty pink paper and
first is a rosewood boredom breaker the woody's fruity
roller so this is just a little watermelon fruit roller then there is
the very large bundle of flax sprays also known as
linseed i know a lot of people are always dying to get their hands on these
and for some people it can be harder than others so if
you're looking for somebody who sells it pearly's packages does the next thing
inside of the package is a bundle of
millet spray which is also awesome and a good
forging for hamsters as well as she includes four little willow balls in
which you can stuff with some black
sunflower seeds and it makes a really great
boredom breaker because the hamster has to try to break open these little wicker
balls to get the little treats so that is
everything inside of that parcel she has many other
ones to choose from so i'll leave her link in the description bar in case you
want to go check her shop out and the last package i got is from an
etsy seller her brand is fat pouches she has a really super cute hamster
sticker on the box i have to show you guys it
but she is based in singapore so it did take a little bit of a crunching in the
mail but that's fine and she mainly has a lot of hamster seed
mixes hamster foraging foods, sprays
and a bunch of other things so i ordered some hazelnut
leaves and this is 100 grams which is quite a lot
and they're not too crunched which is great
some apple leaves unfortunately these ones did get a little bit crushed it
still works for sprinkling inside of the cage but
they did get a little squished i got some red sorghum and she also sent
a sample of some flax so it looks like we
have a lot of flax today i'm very excited to put this in lenny's
cage though and the last thing i'm really excited
about is i got uh some sunflower heads so this is a
sunflower head cracked in half and this contains
black sunflower seeds and this allows your hamster to just pick them
right off the head this can stay in the enclosure depending on the hamster and
how much they're going to remove off of the head obviously if
they're trying to eat all of the sunflower seeds
should be taken away because sunflower seeds are quite fatty
but it is a good enrichment so those are all of the items that i got for
lenny's enclosure and now let's go redecorate his cage
so while lenny was in his carrier i took it upon myself
to give his little nest area just a little clean out
he does occasionally pee where he sleeps
but he also does have a specific pee corner that i do clean out in his
hideout but today i'm just gonna go through and
make sure that i get any soiled pieces of bedding i'm also going
to sweep the top of the hideout he makes a
really big mess on there he also likes to sometimes pee on there
so i'll give that a wipe down
i'm also just going to pick out any soiled substrate that i see
around the cage any pieces that are like debris i'm just going to remove that and
i'm going to be re-adding in some more Kaytee clean and cozy bedding just to
replenish what i took away and also to give a little bit more
bedding depth
there you see lola getting into all of lenny's stuff
i also wanted to talk about why Lenny doesn't have a sand bath in his
enclosure a sand bath is something that i
recommend every hamster owner have in their enclosure it's really important
for a hamster it provides them with enrichment so it
is necessary but the reason Lenny doesn't have one is
because lenny has issues with his "peen" it does
not retract it is constantly sticking out
and that makes it easy for things to get on it and infect it and
possibly scratch it cause it to swell so because of that he does not get a
sand bath because i don't want to risk him getting sand on his weiner
i'm now adding in his little granite rock that just
kind of is there for him to keep cool i'm also gonna add in some of his
favorite chews he likes to chew on then i'm
adding some of the hazelnut leaves
as well as the apple leaves
and we cannot forget our good old herbs
add in a bunch of flax seeds and a spray of sorghum
a tiny piece of the sunflower head and then scatter feed his food
