This Christmas I received an hamster from my girlfriend!
She is so cute and her name his Ramboia! I am not sure if she ia a Winter White Russian Dwarf Hamster or a white Campbell's, I guess I'll wait until Spring to see if she changes colour.
Since I am new to taking care of hamsters and rodents in general, I spent some time searching for information on the internet.
I read somewhere that despite the small size of the dwarf hamster, they are quite active and appreciate plenty of space.
In this instructable I'll show how you can:
- Expand and create room for your hamster, using cheap resources!
- Make a feeder from bottles of water.
- Make tubes using bottles of water.
Attention:
- Do not harm your little friends!! Use common sense when building something for them.
- Take special attention on plastic edges, make sure they are not sharp.

Signing UpStep 1: The original cage
Along with my new little friend I received a pretty much standard cage for small rodents.
It came with a little bowl for food, a bottle for the water, a ramp to access the loft and a plastic wheel (more appropriate for smaller feet).
Despite the small size of Ramboia, I think she feels cramped in this little cage, so I decided to build her a new and bigger house!

Have fun!
and the plastic water bottles for tubes is an amazing idea! i wish i had thought of it before i bought some new tubes at my pet store :/ but thank you for the idea!
Though i wish you good luck with cleaning it XD. I have two hamsters and i had a LOT of tubes, till i found out that i had to clean the whole shazam every two weeks.
After a couple of months i grew sick of it , so i sold half of the tubes. Shame for my hamsters, but they still have a lot of tubes left and now I dont have to clean as much!
thats asome dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
could you make an instructable of that ?
nice hamster.
Also, some kinds of plastic tend to absorb and hold on to pee smells -- usually the softer, more flexible plastics. But then, those are the plastics that tend to smell the worst on their own anyway.
