Hey Everyone, I'm sorry for not posting anything in such a long time. Things have been pretty hectic with Finals and stuff so I didn't really have time. Now that I'm on Summer vacation (finally!) I'll try to get more posts in my blog. So what have I been doing? Well, Me not that much but Melon has had several new improvements.
I don't know if I've ever talked about this in my posts but I have had two hamster cages lying around for a while. One of them is my Pink Crittertrail cage which had some problems since the beginning. The wheel had to go and the bars were a bit bent from the packaging but it was fine. Eventually it was just aggravating to have it because of the wheel and other issues that came up. I was going to just buy a new wheel but them I saw the S.A.M cage (the second cage that's lying around) and I thought might as well buy it. So after a while of having Melon in her S.A.M cage the wheel started to squeak and it was WAY too loud. I had to temporarily put her in a 10 gal. fish tank but to do this I needed a wheel. I had to buy a wire wheel (these are awful! do not try them!) because the store did not have other wheels so I had to order it online. So then Flying Saucer wheel was finally here.
Since I'll be staying at my godmother's house I need to take Melon with me. The tank is way to heavy plus it's harder to clean. Since I had two cages just waiting to be used I decided to improvise. (Plus this was a chance to get Melon into a new cage). So my brother and I fixed the bars on the pink cage and took out the wheel. The water bottle was just thrown out as it wasn't a good one at all. We took out the plastic food bowl and attached Melon's PETCO water bottle onto the outside of the bars. For the opening that the water bottle was supposed to be in we took the long tube with the top compartment from the S.A.M cage and attached it there. The wheel was long gone so we just put the flying saucer wheel and her food bowl inside. Now she has her pink cage (safe this time!) with more space than before and more toys plus a better wheel and bottle. Plus her food bowl is a ceramic bowl from PETCO which is perfect so she doesn't tip it over or chew on it.
I think it's a lot better than her past homes because it gives her more hideaways and space. Plus it's a lot lighter and easier to clean. So that's what's been going on lately. I haven't taken any pictures of her lately which I should start now. And with that being said, I'll bid you farewell.
Bye :)
