so exhibit A
um this is
the one who has cost me a couple hundred dollars to
replace some blinds
because he chewed through
the blind cord
why are there ladybugs in here
oh gosh
i did it
this was a mistake
think it broke my bit
it did
we have to let go sometimes
tada
so I also have a package from 101Rabbits and i already know what is inside
what is it? is it for you?
i don't know
is it for you?
snug a buns!
so i was sent two of the snug a buns from 101Rabbits
and this pattern
this pattern right here is a bee and hive pattern
and i actually got to pick
this one so this is Victoria Raechel approved
so one of them actually is going to be um
to test out with the cats and then obviously one is for the rabbits but
these have been pretty popular with Haley's cats so she wanted me to try it with mine
and this one is for the rabbits i already do know they love their snug a buns they've
had them in the past
so hopefully this one doesn't get chewed up
oh i feel like
Lola just said i'm going to chew it if i want to
Lola it's not nice you're supposed to sleep in it
Cleo
no biting it
so along with the snug a bun the rabbits also got a brand new hideout and this one
i made myself
so this is a wooden hideout with two entrances and is painted with non-toxic
acrylic paint
and i really just wanted something a little bit more permanent than cardboard boxes
and the rabbits do truly love to sleep in it and this is where i usually find them sleeping
but along with this, I have also made the hamsters a bunch of new things that I'll show you
so for Mabel, i actually built her these two platforms over here as well as these three connected dig boxes
so you're probably wondering how i did that
well it wasn't exactly the cheapest option but
in the long run it is
I recently purchased a band saw so this allows me to custom build any type of
hamster accessory i want that is out of wood
so i start with making measurements as to how large i
want the platforms i also use a birch plywood that does not contain any bad things like formaldehyde
and then i get to cutting
this is my first time kind of using a band saw so i am a little shaky
and uneven
but as the time goes on i hopefully can become a lot better at
cutting out shapes
i also cut my dowels down to size these are going to be the stilts that hold up the platforms
these are very important because if a hamster burrowed underneath something
it can collapse and
crush them and that's not safe
then i just have to sand the platforms to make sure everything is
smooth and not going to poke a hamster
and then i actually bought a roll of cork liner so that
i was able to keep replacing the cork liners i have because Dipper for one is a cork chewer
and so i've cut that out to size and i actually had to glue this onto the platform because it
kept wanting to roll up
and then of course, i glue on the stilts
this is using non-toxic wood glue i
think this is a Canadian brand i'm not sure if you can get this anywhere else but this is just
what i use
as well as if anybody's wondering the bigger the diameter of the dowel
the more strength
it is going to have to hold up stuff
I was really excited i got to build Mabel these three connected
dig boxes because i do have these three substrates
the sand, Eco earth as well as I have this living
world green ultra comfort aspen chips and they remind me a lot of
beech chips which i can't
get here so i really wanted to try them out and Mabel actually really really loves to dig in them
another thing you may have noticed i have cameras in each and every one of my hamster cages
the reason i got these is simple and that is i have severe anxiety when it comes to the hamsters
and if i don't see them at a specific time my brain starts to think of the worst things
possible and since getting these security cameras i have not felt anxious
at all because i am capable of checking and seeing when the hamsters are awake so the security camera
that i use is the Wyze V3 i think that's how you pronounce
it and pretty much it is magnetic
so i've stuck it to the sides of the enclosures
and the cords are all out of reach from them
and this is honestly an amazing camera i would definitely recommend getting one
if you're looking into doing this sort of thing
what did i tell you the rabbits love snug a buns
so i think Sadie claimed this one as hers
even though she already has a cat bed
do you love it
yeah
so it is currently 8pm and Mabel is awake
i think you guys can see her maybe
hi Mabel
so i actually ordered three hideouts for the hamsters
and so i'm going to place them in the
enclosure the one for Mabel
is this hideout here um and i was thinking of placing it right here
Mabel
come on
go over there
thank you
are you going in?
is that your like little secret hide now
yeah you got like a secret hide beside your secret hide
so i actually got Mabel another thing
and that is this Oxbow hanging sunflower chew so these
are sunflower stalks and i thought this would be really great
for stimulating Mabel
oh my goodness
so graceful
yeah that's what you're supposed to do
our next little buddy is Waddles and he is currently running on his wheel
hi Waddles
hello so for Mr Waddles here he is going to be getting this little hide
originally i wanted this to be for Dipper because it's a tree
but it's
it's much too small for a syrian hamster and it's definitely way better for Mr Waddles
look at you!!
we just have to figure out where we're gonna put this in there hey? hello
hello
look
look at this
cutest little boy
you like this?
yes
you trying-
what is happening
oh no escape
you so smart
yes you are
you are so smart
i'm gonna put this over here oh hi Lola
oh my goodness this is chaotic
chaotic
oh
okay i'm gonna put this like this
so you have to come over here
come on
this way
good boy over there quick
distraction
what is mom doing hey what is mom doing
oh boink
i don't know if i like that but that's where it will go for now
look you can go in it oh go in it
Waddles you gotta go in the tree yes like that good job
what are you doing
why are you so darn cute
so i will be finding-
i will be finding a new spot for that oh okay
you're so smart
and then last but not least it's Mr Dipper who seems to be a bit of a fan
favorite on the channel
so this is what Dipper has done to his enclosure um
his cork mat very gross, there is chew marks all along he has chewed there he's chewed that rim he
has spilled his water dish before so there's like a water stain on it
this one all chewed
chewed
he it's a messy boy
but he is incredibly cute so we do forgive him for being messy
the last time i did a cage tour as well it's completely honestly changed here's what his
enclosure looks like
and then as you can see at the end here these are two dig boxes one has sand
and one has his all-time favorite eco-earth i'm sure you guys
have seen the video of him
digging in it he absolutely loves it
so the hideout for Dipper is going to be this two-story
one i think
it comes with this little
ladder for the top of it so and then there's a hole there
i really wish he could have got the other one but he will have to have this one
so that is what the little castle looks like i don't know how i feel about it right there
i'm probably gonna move it or
take it out
depends i don't know i'm really indecisive
oh you can fit in there but i think it's a little too small
i think it's a little too small
how are you gonna squish behind there
that's not really how you're supposed to use it
no
super close
there you go
so i get questions about whether or not i have to brush Dipper
the answer would be yes
if i don't he gets mats and
little dreadlocks so i do have to go through his fur and just lightly
use this comb
and kind of brush through
i don't do this every single day but
i try to do it when i can because his hair just has gotten so long
say hi guys
you sayin hi?
good morning
so there's his little mane
and if you're wondering he usually is not
this still
when i brush his fur
look at these buns if you guys have rabbits you
need to get a snug a bun i promise you will not regret it
oh you make me oh my goodness you make me cry
tears i'm dead
oh my goodness i got that on cam-
i got that on camera guys
but also you splash the water on the-
i love you so much
so so much
so i am going to end the video here because i don't know if the video could get
any more better than that
so i will see you guys in the next video
bye
