so it's been a while since I actually redid Honey's cage and gave her a
completely new set up so that is what we're going to be doing today and we are
also going to be removing all of the bedding but not actually throwing it
away so honey is just going to go into a playpen with her wheel and some toys
while I completely redo her cage first we got to start off by removing every
single accessory in her cage
so they type of cleaning method that I am using today is by removing all of the
bedding but not actually throwing it away and you do that by getting two
different garbage bags one is your clean bag one is your dirty bag you basically
sort through all of the bedding and you pick up your clean bedding put that in
the clean bag and your dirty bedding goes into the dirty bag that way you get
to remove all of the bedding in the enclosure and that gives a chance for
any poop or little small particles to fall to the bottom so that you can end
up cleaning all that out so the little bottom stuff left in the enclosure I'm
just going to scoop that out and throw that away there's like some sand because
from the sand bath they'll walk and get stuck on their paws and then it falls to
the bottom so it gives me a chance to kind of clean the cage out but at the
same time not stress my hamster out because they're going to have the
bedding they're familiar with back in their cage
then I'm putting back all of my accessories the sand bath here I always
get questions on it's from superstore it's an acrylic
tray then here is where we put all of our clean bedding back into the cage but
it's still familiar to our hamster
I just went ahead and moved her hideout to kind of the center of the enclosure
instead of a corner and then I am putting in the IKEA knuff which I kind
of customized by removing the bottom and a side of it so that she can walk
straight through it and I had such a hard time figuring out where I was going
to place this exactly
then I'm just putting in some of the other accessories to her cage like these
wooden slats that I made myself and then some rocks for different texture
as well as some sphagnum moss and pillow moss just to give it a pop of color it doesn't
hurt the hamster and it gives them another texture to walk on
we have to of course add in our herbs because a cage wouldn't be complete without them and
then I actually got some fresh willow today so I went ahead and put that in
her enclosure and then I'm just putting her litter box back into her chamber and
adding some more fresh bedding to there
then I'm adding in some wheat flax and oats sprays for her to forage and filling
up the water dish and then sprinkling food all over the cage so that she can
forage and last but not least I'm adding in the wheel to the sand bath and the
cage is complete so I hope you guys have enjoyed watching this and now you guys
can enjoy honey exploring her cage
