The passage describes a project to create a natural environment for a hamster named Styopa. The group first observed Styopa running around in a forest, and decided to replicate this environment at home. They planned to create a terrarium with real soil, moss, twigs, and possibly plants. They designed a glass terrarium with a beveled top to avoid having to cut and glue glass themselves.
While waiting for the glass to be made, they prepared a platform for the terrarium. The platform was designed to be heavy-duty to support the weight of the terrarium and its contents. They collected various items from the forest for the terrarium, including tree bark, moss, and soil.
Once the glass arrived, they filled the terrarium with clay to create a base for the soil. They then added the forest items, including the soil, and placed a house for Styopa inside the terrarium.
Upon moving Styopa into the new environment, he seemed confused and unsure of what to do. However, he soon started exploring and digging, expanding his underground burrow. The group watched in amazement as Styopa adapted to his new environment. They expressed excitement about the future of the project and invited viewers to share their ideas for improvements.
1. The text describes a process of creating a natural environment for a hamster named Styopa at home.
2. The idea was inspired by observing Styopa running around in a forest.
3. A glass terrarium was planned, filled with real soil, moss, twigs, and possibly plants.
4. The terrarium was not rectangular and had a beveled top to avoid cutting and gluing the glass.
5. The glass for the terrarium was procured from a glass master, who completed the task on time.
6. A platform was prepared to hold the terrarium, which could be moved and raised above a table surface.
7. The platform was made from slats, and two pieces of it were cut off to raise the platform.
8. The terrarium was filled with clay, which weighed up to 20 kilograms.
9. A piece of forest soil was also collected, as it contains various bacteria and microorganisms that benefit the ecosystem.
10. The glass for the terrarium was expensive, but it was made from a special kind of super cool and transparent glass.
11. The terrarium was filled with items collected from the forest, such as tree bark and moss.
12. The hamster, named Styopa, was initially confused by the new environment but began to adapt.
13. Styopa started digging tunnels in the house, creating an underground world.
14. The terrarium remained open at the top, and the hamster was able to escape easily at first.
15. However, a mesh cover was added to prevent the hamster from escaping.
16. Over time, the hamster expanded its underground burrow to the size of a decent room.
17. The hamster seemed to enjoy its new environment, cleaning itself and even eating a root.
18. The text ends with a note that the third video in the series will show what happens the next day.
