I made an indoor container garden for my hamsters. It’s nice to be able to give my hamsters a little bit of fresh greens a few times a week. Their favorite seems to be green leaf lettuce. Romaine is a close second. One of the romaine plants died after 2 weeks. I think I put in too much vermiculite so there may be too much water in the soil.
Raccoons are nocturnal. The raccoon in my video was a mama at the time and she would come during the day to get some sunflower seeds from the squirrel/bird feeder. I can assume that she needed the protein for nursing her babies. She and her family come by every night as soon as it gets dark. I named her Kibbles and her daughter Bits.
This video features my Chinese hamster, Ziggy.

Fifth like and first comment!!! Also I love ur hams!
So cute!
I can't wait to try this
OOoo, I love this idea! You have such a wonderful array of wildlife in your yard!! I'm sure they can be a pain sometimes, but how cool is it to have a herd of deer pass through!? Too bad about the ticks. I'm scared to death of them! Parasites, EW!!
This is a lovely idea. Your little guy seemed to enjoy his green leaf, eventually 😁.
You have some amazing wildlife where you live. How lovely to have such cute visitors daily.
Perfect idea.
Anyone know when the next time petco having 50% of on 40 gallon breeder tank?
Awesome idea Hammy time !
I have a question though
Do syrian hamsters live in the dessert or in the grassy lands ?
The most wildlife I'll get I'm my garden are crows and spiders
Beautifully done! Definitely will consider this for our hams 🙂
Hey I just found your channel and I’m obsessed. Love your videos 🐹🐹💁🏽♀️
Wow! Lots of animals!
Going to have to do this when I move back home! It’s cooler there so I think growing lettuce like this shouldn’t pose too much a challenge😬… but then again I’m not very gifted with plants.
Here’s hoping mine will be forgiving!
I know this is an old video, but how come you don’t de-pot the greens? Is it better to keep them in their little pots
Do you have to replace the lettuces every spring, or does it just keep growing? I would not of thought to grow a garden inside!
