Thank you, I've had them before for hammies and they're by far my favourite. I can't go back to a shop bought cage after having the Detolf, you realise how much they enjoy the space. I hope she's going to be happy in it :) We aren't at the handling stage with her yet and I'm giving her time but she's eating out of my hand now and seems pretty gentle
@@continentalcrust8290 honestly I know this is gonna sound bad but I sorta agree- i feel like there like long and not as tall im just trying my best to go along with them because they glorify it- and I don't want to sound dumb
What a sweet story :) ...and really, anybody who does not ride the cart at IKEA obviously has not lived! I am so envious of that pet store, it seems that in the US it is just about dogs and cats. They get most of the store and then birds, fish, reptiles.... and the smallest amount goes to bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice etc. who get one measly aisle that is crammed with cages and bedding. The amount of toys is so small that the word amount is really a misnomer.
I got my hamster at pets at home and he was my love at first sight! I loved him even though I didn't ;like red eyed hamsters.Then I realised red eyed hamsters aren't bad because of their eyes. And the woman gave me two cardboard boxes incase he would try to escape. Now he is so adorable ad has grewn too much! he's a dwarf hamster and my baby!
Aww! I love that he changed your mind about red eyed hams! Sometimes we just get an amazing connection with animals ❤️ I hope he has a long happy life with you x
same with me! I was all like:"I'll just look at the rescue website around me for future reference, ju-ju-just to see what kinds they have! I won't be getting a second one until much later.." a few hours later I contacted the rescue and a week later I took Mick home. But he just stole my heart, there was nothing I could do! He had been born and been raised at the rescue, the only one left together with his brother, Gregg. Nobody wanted the two redeyed baby and the foster lady told me she had given up hope of any of the two ever finding a forever home, she was really sad but at the same time very happy. So now I have 2 hamsters 😂 aaand, I would suggest Silver or Starry maybe, because she looks like a star to me 😎✨
@@BeckysAnimals yeah, he is! it turns out he is a grumpy old gramps on the inside, always complains if someone makes noise after he has just woken up and will waddle around just complaining to himself for about half an hour, even while eating. After eating and drinking he normally stops :'D I get him though, I'm the same in the morning.
I think the majority of the adoption centre hamsters in pets at home are just the ones that haven’t been bought yet and are too old to sell in the main bit and some are from ones that get returned 🦋
Hiya! Pets at home have a seperate section for their adoption animals, it's pretty much the same process as buying one from them but the money goes to charity. They will ask a couple of questions about what set-up you have, if you have any other pets and take your details so they can give you a call after a couple of days to see how they are settling in. Then they should do a basic health check to see that they are okay to leave and give you some tips on health issues such as wet tail. The adoption fee is a minimum donation of £8 for a hammie :) That's so exciting, good luck with the adoption xx
I have degus that I adopted from pets at home, they never showed me how to check there health nor did they mention it. Luckily I already knew how to from having other rodents and from doing my research.
Hi I'm getting a hamster for my birthday in November. We already have everything we need except the hidey house and chews which haven't arrived yet. I'm getting my hamster from pets at home cause my mum won't let me adopt. How do you even like have an employee let you buy the hamster?????
can you handle her yet?? how is she? is she tame? i'm thinking of getting one tomorrow, have wanted one for years, just worried about the taming process, i want them to love me ahahah x
Maddy Collins I know I’m a bit late haha x the lady said she was only aggressive because she was in cages with other hamsters and they were fighting most Syrians come tame, if not you can look up how to tame a hamster and hamsters sometimes nibble on your fingers when they’re not sure, if your hamster nibbles you don’t make any sudden movements like pulling ur hand out of the cage really fast and saying ouch it will scare the hamster x
Unfortunately this isn't the one near where I live, my local one is tiny. It doesn't have the same variety as this one and only has a couple of rescue animals in at a time but I like that they don't have a high turnover of animals, not good for filming though haha :)
It would have been cheaper to buy a carrier than the cage but I already have several carriers at home so I didn't really want to waste money on another one that won't be used whereas the cage I am planning on keeping as a travel cage :)
Actually so glad I found this video because I might be getting a Syrian hamster and I am warthog a bunch of videos to educate myself and I paused it and i was sryian hamster £10 yaya
Cool I have 3 syrian hamsters 🤩❤️ oh man you guys have so cool stuff.. In my country yoh don't find the stuff you guys have there in the pet shops.. And not all kids lose interest in their pets my 4 years old sister and me never did in these years.. And in my country the pets hops are really good, my aunt works there at one and they do their best fir thw hamsters..some pet shops are bad, some are good.. Cool video ❤️😜
i know this is a long time ago but in the beginning when she starts to film in the store does anyone notice the "service dog" infront of her?? That dog is a fake service dog. Service dogs must be kept under control and they can't be sniffing stuff to the point the owner has to push them out the way.
@@bryony3117 Thanks alot for providing me with all the information above thats very helpful. It looks amazing and seems to have plenty of space for a the hamster Ill be getting myself one now. Thanks Bryony Banks
When I was getting my hamster He was put in a cardboard box A very slim one! 23 sq inches! My hamster was scared, confused, sad, wild, not tamed, While we were in the car there were air holes, He bit the holes and got out! I was holding her as we were in ikea because, You can’t leave the hamster in a car I was so annoyed, He continuesly kept trying to run out of my hands I attempted to tame him as quick as possible, And my lord! He was tamed! I was like, ‘wtf’ He stood still in my hands relaxed and happy! It was quite strange, he bit me because a child came up to him, which I didn’t even know the child! The child came up to my hamster and squeezed him! My hamster ran around again, I got the child’s parents to take her away from me, I attempted the taming again! It worked! We had to purchase a hamster ball so he could run around in it while I attached his detolf Once he got in it I had chews all around, he went straight for them I took him out and looked at his teeth! They were overgrown! How could the pet store allow a hamster to have overgrown teeth? I have no idea!
I got my Russian dwarf hamster from pets at home but if I hadn’t done my research I would have been left completely in the dark no health check no food advice only advice they gave me was convincing me to get a tiny cage
Ahhh sorry but rightnow I’m SOOO close to convincing my mom to let me buy a 1764 sq foot cage for my hamster!,!!!!!! ITS OKAY $100 (it’s on Facebook marketplace)
@@lsturgeonify that's only in the USA. In the UK it has to be 80 cm x 50cm as the minimum size for a hamster and syrians should have more. So no the grey cage she had her in near the start (not the Ikea one) was not big enough as a perminant cage :)
It depends where you get one. I have mostly brought mine home from the adoption section of pets shops, they are a donation of around £12 from Pets at home or I adopt from websites like gumtree or preloved.

Pets at home are a rip off..I had an extra large cage that our last hamster lived in for 2 years and pets at home wouldn't sell me the hamster as they claimed it was too small and I needed to buy one of thier cages... absolute scam considering they sell the exact same cage in store
Excellent owner buying a detolf for your new hamster! She looks a real sweetie.

@@lelo3385 they’re not the best tbh, they don’t provide as much space as people think

Holly or ivy seeing as it near Christmas,beautiful little hamster.
I’m glad that they do a health check there, I live in the US and I was in the dark about Hamster Health until I did research and call vets, etc.
A Christmassy name for a Christmas hamster.. Noelle?

I have two dwarf hamsters in two big bin cages x there so playful and entertaining 😂❤️
I know this video was about you getting a hamster but honestly the part with Blue was the best part😹
Same!
I have both cages you bought. One is a temporary cage for when I go away
I'd say chancey like the Pokémon
Their cages look a lot better then my pet shop!!!!
lmao at the way blue's looking at you.. side eyeing you with suspiscion
I am getting a male long haired Syrian soon. The name will be Coco. I saw him at the pet store and fell in love 🤣.
Aww! He sounds adorable! Good luck with your new hammie
I have degus that I adopted from pets at home, they never showed me how to check there health nor did they mention it. Luckily I already knew how to from having other rodents and from doing my research.
that pets at home is massive 😩
your hamster is adorable! cute ear markings!
I’m so excited that you chose the IKEA detour!

I got hamster it name Carlito.
We also mked a song: MAKING MY WAY DOWNTOWN, WITH CARLITO WE GONNA FIND HIS DAD MARLITO.
Snow because she is white or ivy, because she is not too nice and it's close to Christmas.
I’d name her Bijou from the cartoon Hamtaro!
I watched half of this before realising the sound was broken
Oh no, it shouldn’t be broken. It sounds okay my end 🤷♀️😔
@@BeckysAnimals Yeah for some reason my phone didn't want to play the audio
You guys have an amazing pet shop 😍
Omg this is the pets at home that I go to!! Is it in bath?
This one is in Cheltenham so not that far away ☺️
TheSmallPetShop thanks so much for replying Xx
You’re very welcome 😊 Thank you for watching ❤️
She is so adorable, I have a long haired boy
Awesome that is just great I just had a little bit more bedding like a lot
why dump the ikea detolf though? :o was something wrong with it?
What about Misty , or Vanilla?? You could call her that !
Loved this video x
Thank you so much ☺️ x
Call her Flo it suits her so much!!!!
Ivy, mochi, noelle, cream
Twinkle? Pudding? Holly?
TWINKLE IS CUTE
Marshmallow
Ive bought all my hamsters from pets at home being great animals haven’t had issue with them
can you handle her yet?? how is she? is she tame? i'm thinking of getting one tomorrow, have wanted one for years, just worried about the taming process, i want them to love me ahahah x

Chris, ive, reef, nutmeg, pudding or noelle! :D
The IKEA u went to is near where I live I go to that one all the time in Bristol 🤣
I got the detolffffffff yayyy
Your soo lucky your pets at home has everything ! X my local one barely has much
Unfortunately this isn't the one near where I live, my local one is tiny. It doesn't have the same variety as this one and only has a couple of rescue animals in at a time but I like that they don't have a high turnover of animals, not good for filming though haha :)
TheSmallPetShop what one did you go to?
That's my pets at home
a panda bear hamster is not a real thing some people just say fancy names so they can earn more money
So true, some pet shops and breeders make up all kinds of names for the same species 😆
My friend bought a “baby syrian“ hamster from pets at home and 1 year later its a winter white hamster
Carriers aren't that experience my was £6 and it just for cleaning
It would have been cheaper to buy a carrier than the cage but I already have several carriers at home so I didn't really want to waste money on another one that won't be used whereas the cage I am planning on keeping as a travel cage :)
Actually so glad I found this video because I might be getting a Syrian hamster and I am warthog a bunch of videos to educate myself and I paused it and i was sryian hamster £10 yaya

How much was he/she? I might be getting one but as of lockdown I can’t go out to see how much they are!💗
probs around £12
Thank you for leaking the prices so I know how much everything I’m getting will cost
No problem, the prices may have changed slightly since making this video but hopefully it gives you a rough idea 😊
Is this the pets at home in Cheltman?! Next to “next”
Yes it is! :)

THATS THE SAME PETS AT HOME WERE I GOT MY HAMSTER
Same! Is it in north west London? Not gonna say exactly where but yeah.
I wonder why pet stores keep animals in the wrong types of enclosures 😨 and tell people to use it wow
Ikea what cage?
@@bryony3117 Thanks alot for providing me with all the information above thats very helpful. It looks amazing and seems to have plenty of space for a the hamster Ill be getting myself one now. Thanks Bryony Banks
I really want a Ikea detolf cage but sadly Ikea doesn’t exist in the country that I lived in. :(
Hi
When I was getting my hamster
He was put in a cardboard box
A very slim one!
23 sq inches!
My hamster was scared, confused, sad, wild, not tamed,
While we were in the car there were air holes,
He bit the holes and got out! I was holding her as we were in ikea because,
You can’t leave the hamster in a car
I was so annoyed,
He continuesly kept trying to run out of my hands I attempted to tame him as quick as possible,
And my lord! He was tamed! I was like, ‘wtf’
He stood still in my hands relaxed and happy!
It was quite strange, he bit me because a child came up to him, which I didn’t even know the child!
The child came up to my hamster and squeezed him! My hamster ran around again, I got the child’s parents to take her away from me,
I attempted the taming again!
It worked! We had to purchase a hamster ball so he could run around in it while I attached his detolf
Once he got in it I had chews all around, he went straight for them I took him out and looked at his teeth!
They were overgrown!
How could the pet store allow a hamster to have overgrown teeth? I have no idea!
Is he okay?
How is the hamster and what did you call her?
I got my Russian dwarf hamster from pets at home but if I hadn’t done my research I would have been left completely in the dark no health check no food advice only advice they gave me was convincing me to get a tiny cage
I had to skip through the whole video to find what hamsters!😂lol
Haha understandable, hamsters are much better than my ramblings 😆
I got my hamster from there 2 months ago I wanted a girl but there was no girls in the adoption section
Butterscotch
You should name her poppy
Snowflake would be a cute name or winter
You could call her snowball
I have a hamster and named him gingernut
Tony Carney I named my first hamster gingernut xx
Ahhh sorry but rightnow I’m SOOO close to convincing my mom to let me buy a 1764 sq foot cage for my hamster!,!!!!!! ITS OKAY $100 (it’s on Facebook marketplace)
How much did you pay for the hamster I really don't want to support breeding hamsters so adoption is better for me,
Usually about £8
where is it located? which city is it?
Where is what located? The P@H was in Cheltenham and IKEA was in Bristol.
Its sad to see for me because my hamster died yesterday😭 i wish he was in the cage runing in his hamster wheel and hearing him drink water😭😭😭😭😭
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️
Do u know the cage u had the Hamster
Is that large enough cos I’m wondering to get a cage like that
No unless its 450 squarw inches of floor space its a bit snall

You seem like such a sweet person. But you bought from here?
Hi, our hammie was from the adoption section so the money goes to the adoption charity rather than the pet shop 😊
@@BeckysAnimals Oh ok that makes sense. Sorry it's late wasn't paying attention

How much is a hamster I’m getting one
It depends where you get one.
