hey guys so I often get questions about how often do I clean my hamsters cage
and how do I clean them so many of you may know that I actually very rarely do
a full clean on my hamsters cage just because it is very stressful especially
if you have large cages it actually really isn't even necessary to do a very
large full clean and removing all of that bedding just isn't necessary. 1.
it's a waste of money 2. it stresses your hamster out so yeah! so essentially
once a month I will do this type of clean-out and this is where I kind of
go more in depth into the cage and just look for soiled areas whereas every
other couple of days I will clean out like soiled spots and just spot clean
more so this is kind of more of a bit of a more in-depth clean but at the same
time it's not because I'm not removing every morsel from the cage and this door
is very squeaky so I apologize for that first I am just going to start by
removing basically all of the toys just so it makes things a bit easier plus
they're sometimes poop in everything hidden
Hiiiiii and usually tater tot will wake up she always wakes up when I'm doing
something with her cage so I put her in her travel the carrier so that I can
work on her cage without having to worry about her falling out come back, hi
do you want to come out you go in your carrier? come here, So there is Tater Tot
so now that I've removed most of the toys the toys in here I am going to look
under the bedding and basically just look for accumulation of poop look for
pieces that have been peed on because I use the Kaytee clean & cozy it's white and
it helps me see the soiled areas because it simply will be yellow
so the reason that I lift all of the bedding is because tater-tots
poops are so small they fall right to the bottom so that's where all of her
poop is going to be so it makes it easy to find
so I just found tater tots little hoard of food oh my gosh this is why I
don't feed Tater tot very often because she has a biggest hoard of food oh my god
oh my gosh there is another food hoard what
so now I'm just going to put all of this bedding back because I cleaned out most
of what was dirty so since I did remove a bit of bedding I'm just gonna add in
some fresh bedding on top
and then we can start putting back some of the accessories
so next I'm just going to clean up on these platforms there's a lot of poop
she always poops up there and she also pees up there so we have to clean that
for removing the pee off the platforms I just take a little bit of paper towel
and I take some water vinegar solution and I spray it on there and then I wipe it
so I went ahead and I washed her wheel as well and got her some fresh water and
then I'm going to take my herbs and just sprinkle them around the cage
As well as I have to clean the sand bath out which I will do in a second but I also add in
some of the sprays
so then last but not least we add our hamster back in to her fresh new cage
so that is how I clean my hamsters cages I do the same thing for the Syrians as well this
is the least stressful way I find that way I'm not removing a lot of their
smells it I do have to go through their burrows but that's just necessary
because you have to remove the dirty spots so that is going to have to happen
but I try to do it as little as possible so yeah guys thank you so much for
watching bye
