In my last post about the playpen people asked for a better look at it once it was revamped. Well here it is!

It uses the Prevue Small Animal Playpen on top of a soft 3-foot diameter washable area rug.

It has a heat mat from a drug store (the large flat kind that you can put under your back for sore muscles and such) for heat, along with a variety of hides and other enrichment items! Clean PVC pipes and fittings make up a few of them. Also driftwood, a knitted hide from Etsy, and a Cuddle Cave from A Gecko And His PJs on Instagram. It also includes a shallow water dish just in case they get thirsty!

Only one gecko at a time is in the playpen, of course, and I keep an eye on them the whole time. I would not leave them in here unattended as I’m sure they could find a way to escape (they haven’t yet). Haha

Oh I feel your pain, Pepper likes to go under my bed, and under my nightstand. I solved the bed issue by getting a fence enclosure like this and putting it around my bed.
Although considering the thread this is being posted on, I am NOT assuming that you don’t already have one of these, merely posting a comment telling you where you can purchase one if you may need it.

SNACKS. You can make bigger things smaller by breaking/slicing them up so to the hamster it feels like it's getting more out of a snack giving session. Winter Whites/Campbells/Their Hybrids have a high risk of becoming diabetic so you want to limit sugary foods and snacks. I find that treats made out of the healthy stuff they snub/turn their nose up are usually a good way to give them snacks AND make sure they're eating what they should diet wise. Baked nummies are a hit with my hamsters who go 'ew' at the foods in their wet or dry normal states.

Wear tissues somewhere on you for a few hours (I put mine in my shirit) and then give them to the hamsters for bedding/whatever so they have something present constantly that smells like you. It'll help them become used to your scent. Dwarf hamsters do not permanently tame like syrians can so if you have a few days of no interaction or go on vacation or something and don't have anything to get them reintroduced to you, they can be pretty chompy and swatty.

Talk to them a lot. Let them get used to how you sound. Especially when you are giving them snacks or putting your hand in for them.

Dwarf hamsters are REALLY NIPPY and love to chomp down and hang on. Some even chew. So while their bites don't hurt as bad as a syrians would, they can still be a bit of an ouch and you want to try not to give into reflex and tug your hand away because you'll end up bringing the rodent with you and that can give them a negative impression.

Playpens such as these can be linked up if you have multiple to make more space. So you can sit in the pen with them during bonding times if you don't want to do a bonding box or sit in the bath tub.

Nylon run pens like this are also great. I can sit in the one my boyfriend owns and chill with any of the rodents. Though with playpens like that, you want to make sure you have enough things to chew on that the hamsters aren't deciding to try gnawing on the fabric. I've found that's more of a risk with syrians than dwarfs, though.

Introduce them in a neutral area. When we do it we put clean towels down (smells are very important) in an area enclosed by two of these connected into one big area. Watch them for an hour or two and have a towel handy ready to toss in to break up any fights. Small amounts of nipping and stuff is normal, they need to figure out their relationship. But full on lunges or extended fights are no bueno, especially if blood is drawn. If that happens break it up immediately.

We also have a divider for our cage. So after we do the initial introduction we house them separately but next to each other (so they can smell / hear) for about a week. Then we'll do a second introduction in the neutral area and if all goes well they'll be cuddling by the end of it. Then they can go in the cage together, but best to do it when you're around so can check it out in case you hear scuffles.

Chances are they'll get along great, though males can be the trickiest. Both adoption places we've been to understand that they need to get along with the piggie you already have, so will take them back within 30 days if things aren't working out between the two of them.

Finally, just google things. There's a ton of info on what to look for and expect when introducing the piggies. Here is just one such good source.

Good luck! And you definitely should have two otherwise your little guy may get depressed. They are much more active and 'upbeat' when they have a cage mate.

u/PingPing88 · 5 pointsr/Hedgehog

I know stuff! I'm surprised no one has responded in the last 3 hours, the wheels are really popular. I got one to replace my silent spinner because the silent spinner wasn't so silent.

Carolina Storm Wheel

Fence, I ordered 2 myself for a large play area

u/iMoosker · 4 pointsr/hamsters

Oh so you can join them together easily? Might have to make that purchase this week too!

Here’s an Amazon link for the curious.

u/NortonCdJ · 4 pointsr/hamsters

I got it from Amazon as a add on item, Prevue Pet Products Multi-Color Small Pet Playpen 40090 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003SZSVCI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_2aIrzbMTJ24KW its good already by itself, but I bought 2 of these so I can go in with her :D its really big when you get 2 of the fences I'm 5'3" and I only took about 1/4 of the space there was! Hope that was a good review lol sorry

u/Lisa831 · 3 pointsr/Hedgehog

We have a playpen meant for small animals that Heddie goes in. She decided to go exploring inside of a chair one time and it was ridiculous trying to get her out (especially because she was getting angry and very pokey). We actually bought two of them so she could still have a lot of room, and that has worked out well. She's actually in it in my office right now, so she's well contained and playing with her paper towel tube, but it's also a change of scenery from running on her wheel all morning.

u/MomLovesMeBest · 2 pointsr/gerbil

I bought multiple playpen fences like this and just linked them together to make a really big space: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003SZSVCI/

u/PoliteLittleLover · 2 pointsr/guineapigs

I have that same pen. I bought 2 off Amazon and connected them. Gives my girls about 10 square feet or so! Ran me about $20.

u/Kavzilla · 2 pointsr/BeardedDragons

I have a leash, but I also have a playpen. This one to be exact: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003SZSVCI/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 it's nice because you can buy more than one to make a larger area and then interconnect well.

u/ravens_s · 2 pointsr/Hedgehog

Amazon! I have two, and they link together to make a bigger space since I have two hogs. click here

I really like it. I obviously don’t put him it in when I’m not right there, so he hasn’t made a break for it yet. Though he could easily climb up and over if I wasn’t watching. But it’s been really helpful for bonding/taming time.

u/filmdavid · 2 pointsr/hamsters

I think this is the one we have -
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003SZSVCI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T1_C0SnzbCKJDSQB

We usually let him out of there after a few minutes and let him run around the hallway with the doors closed as its a nice L shaped room to build speed and also sniff everywhere.

u/throwawayasfuuuck · 2 pointsr/CasualConversation

I keep them out on the floor in my room. I had this little play pen that ended up not being big enough, so I use it fully stretched out to block off areas I don't want them in. Then I use pillows stood horizontally against furniture to keep them away from cables, small crevices, or from going under furniture! This is the play pen I mentioned above.

This is a playpen that I have. I bought two of them and it's a decent amount of space for my hedgie to run around in

u/shimdim · 1 pointr/gerbil

These are on sale!

I just bought 4 because they recommend that you tie two sets together with zip ties vertically to prevent your gerbils from crawling up and over them.

u/averillaann · 1 pointr/gerbil

A playpen is awesome! Depending on the one you get they might be able to jump it. But this one is a good one to start with. It should be easy to find in stores though.

Just make sure it's not on carpet! Blankets/clothes are fine if you can wash them. Or any washable surface. I think there's one that comes with a plastic cover too. I recommend keeping the door closed too - they are fast when they escape. But if it's set up right and someone's watching them you and he gerbs should be fine.

I highly recommend putting some hiding spots and wooden toys in there. Silent spinners (or similar type wheels) are great too. Just remember to ALWAYS supervise them! I had a female who always jumped out just to jump back in her tank. I think you can safely use and put in plastic houses and such, but test it out first. Personally, all 10+ I've put in a play pen through the years have never chewed anything but food or the fabric(if any) they were on. If they don't chew the plastic it's fine to be in there. But not their tanks of course.

It's funny to see them mark everything too. They have scent glands on their bellies which they mark their territory with. So if you see them drag their bellies it's fine. It's quite funny actually.

u/georgethecurious · 1 pointr/gerbil

Sure!

I buy practically everything on Amazon and these would be my top recommendations:

Hidey Hut - this is large enough to fit two grown gerbils and my first survived the chewing for close to 4 years.

Small Animal Pet Playpen/Exercise Pen - this is just tall enough for the jumpers. I've still had some be able to reach the top but it is a struggle and you'd be able to catch them in time. Really sturdy as well.

Kordon/Oasis (Novalek) SOA80304 Bell Bottle and Hold Guard Small Animal Value Set, 4-Ounce - this is by far my favorite recommendation of the bunch. I cannot tell you how many water bottles were just destroyed and I would come home to an empty bottle and a very wet gerbil. This thing is impenetrable!

Kaytee Hamster Silent Spinner, 6 1/2 inch Exercise Wheel - although I've had to buy a couple of these (they will chew the yellow part holding the bottom part to the wheel) I find that this is the sturdiest of them all. It becomes less silent the more they chew on it and push it around but it's never been loud enough to be considered especially annoying.

Great for cleaning cage and is safe

As far as dust baths go, I've tried several different kinds and find them all to be equivalent.

Would not recommend:

Ware Manufacturing Flying Saucer Exercise Wheel for Small Pet - the quality is fine here but if you are using carefresh, it gets buried and doesn't allow any give for it to spin.

Kaytee Woodland Get-A-Way Medium Hamster House - quality here is also fine and it's pretty thick so it would take a while to get them to chew. Since it is wood, it absorbs liquids. My gerbils would pee on it and it got to the point that it looked moldy and unhealthy so I just threw it out.

Alfie Pet by Petoga Couture - GARI Wood Hut for Small Animals like Dwarf Hamster and Mouse - Size: Large - this is the cutest little home I've ever seen. I had to eventually throw out though because the wood was so thin that the back wall collapsed due to their chewing and would no longer stand up.

Prevue Pet Products Multi-Color Small Pet Playpen 40090 - I think the quality is here too. It's just too short. My gerbils were easily able to escape this.

GreatChoice Water Bottle - chewed through in a week and Same

u/Zomghedgehogs · 1 pointr/Hedgehog

I dropped the link below. We bought three of them so the bigger playpen is two and then Potato's is one. They're really big.
