Is it safe to use items from an older hamster cage in my new one? I had two hamsters about 5 years ago, that both died in the same cage (at different times). I put the cage away in the garage, and it got all rust and old, so when I decided to get a new hamster the other day I decided to get a new cage. But the items in the old cage, like the plastic exercise wheel and hamster igloo are all fine, just really dusty with lot's of spider webs. I want to use them in the new cage for my new hamster but I'm wondering if they will be safe for my hamster? I have soaked them in boiling water with soap for about an hour. Are they okay to use now, or could they still have germs on them even if I cleaned them?

I am afraid the rust might posion the new hamster im getting, so I want to clean it off. Are there any home made solutions that will get the rust off, but not harm the hamster in any way? Also, do you have any suggestions on how to clean an old hamster cage to get it ready for a new one?

Why are there little flies around my hamster cage? I have little flies the size of a pin head flying around my hamster cage. I have a gerbil and another hamster, but the flies aren't at their cages, only the one hamster. I cleaned all the cages on Saturday, like I always do. I noticed yesterday morning flies at the one cage. I cleaned the cage right away and gave the hamster a bath. I put fly paper above the cage. When I came home from work last night, the fly paper caught most of them but there were still a few flies left. I've had the hamster for over 2 years and nothing like this has happened before. What should I do? Are they going to harm my hamster? I don't think the hamster even notices them, but I feel so bad for my hamster! I cleaned the cage and gave the hamster a bath. Did you read everything I said above?I clean all 3 cages once a week on Saturday. The flies are only at the one cage. I don't want to keep cleaning the cage every day because the hamster doesn't like it.

How do I go about building a homemade hamster cage with a tiny budget? Right now, my hamster has a cage which is big, but I think she would like a little more room to run around in, and I'm in need of a weekend project! I'm only 13, but my dad can cut plywood and stuff. I only have a budget of about $20, so it needs to be something that's not that expensive. It needs to be cleanable, rather large (I'm thinking a 3 foot by 3 foot cage) and something that won't fall apart. We don't have any wire, but if you know of somewhere I could get ahold of some wire for my cage for cheap, that would be great. It also needs to be somewhat sturdy, so it can hold a wheel and possibly a food/water accessory. And make sure the instructions are easy to follow, I'm not the brightest egg in the dozen. Thanks! It also needs to be pretty safe so that she won't escape, we might keep her in the basement with that large of a cage, and there's rat poison in our basement. We also have a dog who would love to have a little snack (GULP!)
