The boys have got a “fresher” habitat now!
yea as the title says, theres some changes to their cage now! and im quite happy with the new bedding!
their stuffs seemed to “spoil” at the same time – their water bottle and wheel.
in addition, their bedding’s finishing.
initially, i have this strong urge to get them a new cage instead, since cages nowadays come with wheel and water bottle too! some are nice to our eyes, but inconvenient to the hammies, while some, are DANGEROUS for them (i.e. i read that the wheel in habitrail mini’s will break their legs!!) but then again, crittertrail’s reviews weren’t as good though. some says i its easy to escape, etc etc.
and so, i decided to just get a new wheel and bottle, and keep my current habitrail playground (since its still in good condition, minus the bite marks on some areas..)
the habitrail cages are ard 35bucks or so, and i’ve gotten a new bottle and wheel at a total of 15bucks. so i saved 20bucks! yay!
and i’ve gotten a new toy for them! that of a TV hideout. v cute!
as for bedding, i’ve decided to try a change and get “healthy pet odor control bedding”. its reviewed to be less dusty compared to cat litter, and that its more comfortable for the hammies.. and most importantly, its available in WHITE! so pretty! the boys seemed to like it and because they often climb up and down and then ended up falling, i guess its not that “painful” anymore! hehe.. i feel comfortable looking at it too.. it seemed like that of cotton, but its not.
anyway, i didnt know the existence of this bedding until recently when i did a google on “good hamster wheel”, and was brought to this whatthepets.blogspot.com this guy has got reviews on pets stuffs and they’re quite good imo!
i called several pet shops but then most of them doesnt have it. at one point of time i wanted to just get carefresh ultra instead, since they seem almost the same, and then when i called the last pet shop in my list, (i was asking for the price of carefresh ultra since i’ve somehow decided on getting it), they actually quoted me the price of healthy pet bedding, and then after 5 secs they apologized that the price they quoted me was for healthy pet bedding, and that they dont carry carefresh ultra.
so yay thats kinda a gd news to me! and as the price is quite reasonable, i decided to make my order
have taken a number of pictures and i gotta show a “few” of them:

the general look of the cage. does it look fresher?

the inside.. i thought it looked as though its snowy~ maybe i should get those logcake-houses to suit the theme. haha

1 of them up there.. keeping himself comfortable

munching munching~~

so blur.. heh

that’s his fav spot. and he’s injured at the side of its nose! so poor thing! anyway these 2 days they seemed to got unfriendly and “fought”. and he’s the only injured one! -.- i gotta observe again the next 2 days and see if this happens again. really hope they’re back to the “brotherly-love”!

toilet-ing

this was taken from the back of the tv-hideout. cute hor?

NICE!? seemed like the new bedding make them look fairer as well!
