Temp Hamster Cage

Just put her in the bath tub, much harder to chew through.

Anon, hamsters are easy. A cardboard box can substitute for a cage, just fill the bottom with something like cedar or pine chips, hang a water bottle from the side, put down a food dish, and something for exercise like a running wheel.

>OP stated the hamster chewed through the plastic walls of the cage

Anon, what are you thinking? Cardboard is much easier to chew than plastic. The hamster already demonstrated a will to escape its confinement, so why risk it with something easy for it to chew through?

Cardboard works in a pinch (as a temporary solution, and yes you'll need to actually watch them if you're going to do that, OP said 3 days). As to what I'm thinking, a cage with metal bars a plastic bottom, and a latch would be would be best. But can OP justify a purchase for something that they're only going to need for 3 days? Though, seriously they're not that hard to obtain, and most pet stores have them.

And hamster balls are fine if you want to let them out to run around. while not losing track of them. A hamster especially a Syrian one like in the pic does not run that fast, they won't be able to get away unless you're really not paying any attention. It's not a field mouse.

Sorry, reread the OP. It's 2 weeks. Yeah OP either needs to get a metal cage, or use an aquarium like they said. All the other stuff about the water bottle, food, etc still stands.

Change the water out of the bottle daily, and food about the same. Hamsters don't need a lot of it. And if you really want that little thing to love you buy some roasted sunflower seeds, because hamsters love that shit. But use it sparingly or it's coat will get greasy.

It's definitely bait - cardboard is easy to escape from, and cedar/pine is bad for them.

I only fed sunflower seeds to mine. He was a fat fuck, he lived like a king but got an oral tumor and died. I suppose he paid for his sin of gluttony.

Your girlfriend is cheating on you.

Dude, I had a hamster for several fucking years from the time I was 9 until well into my teens, I think I had my driver's permit right around the time that it kicked the bucket. Cedar is bad for it my ass. GFY. He said a temporary cage so I only assumed for like a day or two, and they only like to burrow through shit if they're bored out of their little hamster skulls.

Of course maybe the reason that mine didn't engage in that sort of behavior is because I actually let her have some time outside of the cage. Both in her little ball, and also moving around outside the ball while I supervised and kept her out of trouble.

No Anon, this isn't bait. You're a retard that probably just parrots out everything that you read on a Mongolian basket weaving forum as if it were the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I think you're retarded.

Female hamster (no balls), and hamster doesn't have a 'p' numbnuts. Pay attention.
