DIY Hamster Harness

pictures won't upload? pour quois?

are you talking about the dwarf? From my experience, dwarves can slip out of anything by contorting their bodies.. i've never heard of a harness for a dwarf but if you do make one, share it with us!!

Hamsters have a risk of choking in harnesses so I am planning to make a playpen out of a bin for my little man and I think I can upload pics now i'm gonna try

OMG Jess!! lol When I lived with my old roommate we both had 2 turtles each and we were trying to design a turtle harness for them out of DIY hardware!! lol I didn't think people actually manufactured them!!!! lol

Can't wait to see pics of the little squishies Elliriyanna!

I posted them its called my girls day in the sun

HAHAH! That would be awesome!

lol I may do that if I ever get another turtle ... draw the little harness into the shell lol. Tortoises its pointless with they are too slow ( not stereotypical just like not gonna run away) and a leash is not stopping them lol water turtles are so fast O.O

My turtles used to dig in the grass. I had a NIC pen set up outside for them in the grass. But then my creepy boarding house neighbors came by and said "the stray cats are gon' git'tem" which was code for bring the dang turtles inside bf their supper to the weirdos next door!!! lol Harnesses would be redundant for my diggers

Not all turtles are slow, watch this!

I said tortoises are slow I know turtles are fast.

Personly i wouldn't use a harness, i would just built a big pen and use it for the garden, at leat it would have some outdoor exitment!

If you read the thread that's what I decided to do

Yup i did read it and forgot what you wrote, when reading all the others, sorry!

No need to get offended I am a very blunt person I didn't mean to be rude

No probs!

10 minutes is not even remotely long enough to meet a caged hamster's exersice needs. Sure, you can supplement the ball for 10 minutes (and they should only be in it for 10 minutes bc of the air circulation) but then put him in the bathtub or playpen or somewhere he can play for a couple hours. My hamster Button had free run of my room for his playtime (this was mostly the bed and I would creat obstacles and hide his food). Hamsters spend their nights foraging for food and since most people keep food dishes for their little rodents (I stopped when I realised how boring that must be) hamsters do not get to run arund and forage. Make tunnels and caves and ramps and things on your bed and let him run around for a while.
