This is what loving hamsters is all about! Supporting their wild cousins as well as providing proper care for our domesticated hamsters in our homes. I really enjoyed this video! Please do more on similar topics in the future 💕
It's terrible how so many domesticated pets are endangered in the wild, and nobody seems to care besides our hamster community. But, i'm grateful that a majority of hamster species are still out thriving in the wild 🌲
Hi Victoria, the european hamsters store up to 5kg of food in their burrow. I did film them this year and seeing them to 200m distance in once. The action radius of a male is about 10000m² and it is known that male hamsters can find their mate in rual area up to a distance of 1km. In the small remaining and declining areas of Vienna I am not the only one who noticed these hamster do keep rats away. The environmental protection department and the agriculture department of Vienna supporting the hamsters by seeding food plants in the green areas for them an other wild animals. Vienna itself runs a wild animal hospital where you can bring any kind of wild animals in need. I once brought them a female european hamster in a very serious condition. But the health department of the city is taking the fight against rats too serious by poisoning the rats, hamsters, ravens, prey birds, ... with rat poison. 2022 was a rapid decline outside of Friedhof Meidling by rat poisioning and in 2023 a sick red fox ate most of the hamsters in Friedhof Meidling. I never saw the european hamsters to be aggressive and I could see a father letting two of his self independent but not fully grown children overtake one of his burrows. All adult hamsters use their own burrows and as long they are not adult males they are living in harmony side by side also in small colonies. 2024 the european hamster is the wild animal of the year in Austria. If you want to know more of them please contact me! Greetings Alexander
I LOVE this video! Thank you so much! The Netherlands also have a breeding and release program! I'm totally inspired to assist in their work financially or with volunteer work! ❤
Hello victoria can i please ask i have a new hamster shes a winter white russian dwarf female and shes about a month and a half old i have her for 2 weeks the first week i left her alone to let her adjust to her cage and the week after i started taming her i give her treats from my hand the good thing is she takes the treats but then bites me alot first she only nipped and later she started biting and i give her tissues with my scent and i wash my hands everytime i go to interact with her its been 1 week since i started taming her and she still bites and seems stressed should i keep going with the taming and be patient? Its been 7 days so i think thats still a short time
I hope the European hamsters numbers are increasing instead of decreasing maybe someday the people will make a place for the European hamsters to live and no one can build any buildings there
Oh how I wish they also lived here in Norway.... they are so beautiful! We have the lemming though (lemmus lemmus) who's also in the hamster family. About the size of a Syrian, but temperamental little things 😅
My hamster Dandelion 220g. How interesting that a syrian with good genes is only the minimum weight of a european hamster. (Hungary was left out at 0:24!) Thank you again for the very interesting presentation, Victoria!
I know of a couple Syrian hams that made it to 300 grams which is quite impressive haha! The list of places wasn’t a complete one but just showing the variety of locations 😄
@@-afyx-Hi yes!!! It's temporarily paused because I'm leaving my old UA-cam Partnership (BBTV). I'll unpause it once I know for sure I'm no longer linked to them!
Truly amazing video!! I once did a research on the European hamster but I definitely learned a lot more from this video! My past female hamster (which I got from an ethical breeder) once reached nearly 250g! And her nephew, which I currently own, is almost at 200g, both huge hammies😅.
Today i went to the pet shop to see if they have any hamsters. It got me really upset cause i saw the only one with not any chew toys,small cage of course and not wheel to exercise.The only thing it had was a small house, food and water
This was such an interesting video! European hamsters are honestly the cutest things ever and I would hate for them to go extinct😔 It's so great that there's so many people helping them out though!
this is so sad, i actually have breeded over 10 europein hamsters so i know about it all i have let hem go as i needed to for their lives i do work with conservation group yo help them!
Hi Victoria, I have a Roborovski an Hamster that lives in a 40 gallon tank from Petsmart. Is that big enough? And can you tell me some good bedding to use
I am your biggest fan Victoria the way you’ve impacted my life is so incredible I love you so much you are just so amazing and I just want to thank you can you make a video about Roborovski‘s to? I have one and it is hard to tame her because She’s very hyper I can’t express how grateful I am that you texted back to my comment . I love you so much. Have an amazing day.
I live very close to one of these programs in Germany and they managed to increase the hamster population significantly. They also have programs for citizens, where you can participate and count the hamsters. I would love to see one in the wild but never have. My syrian hamster ist actually almost as big as the Feldhamster, it weights more than 200 grams...
plz do something whit these youtubers its hampi 1001 and MR hamster and Y air ok just plz i cant take it on watching the hamsters suffer days of the ive streams ok and i have a syrian golden hamster the name of my hamster is fluffy and the hamster you are showing right now is my second favorite so also im subed and i trained to take care of hamsters because of you goodbye :)
I just wanted to say that I LOVE your videos and they have taught me everything ive been doing wrong thank you SO much for posting this content im postive my hampster has a better life now! Im even getting a cage custom built for my hampster that has the right measurements!!
I love your hamster! I have a Long Hair Syrian boy hamster named fluffy. Penny is very cute! Could you maybe do another week in the life? I love watching them and seeing all of the cats,bunnies etc! love your videos! Keep up the good work
Victoria..got a question for you that ive not seen anyone adress anywhere about hamsters. Since theyre natural habitat is in theyre burrows deep unground..theyre very in tune with the earth and are extremely grounded mammals. So when theyre in captive as pets theyre in plastic bottom cages or glass that arent grounded at all totally disconnected from the Earth...wouldnt it make sense to ground the cage some how? Ive never seen anyone talk abiut this and im not sure if your familiar with earthing and grounding but ive always had my bed grounded and use grounding mats and even have all my electronics stored in RF blocking material. Im super sensitive to electromagnet energy and since ive done grounding and blocking emf i feel so much better. And since hamsters are extremely sensitive too to electromagnet energy and high frequencies us humans cant hear and you see all over advice to never put them near a tv or computer or vaccumes...cus theyre so sensitive...so ive been working on finding a way to ground my hamsters aquarium.
Hi Victoria I have been waiting and watching all of the videos of hamsters I can find. I have one problem though, I only have pet stores near me and I now you don't recommend pet stores, I have been researching and I don't now what to do what do I do?
My hammy started burrowing! She won’t sleep in them tho. They are like small tunnels I think and her sand bath was full of her bedding so that was fun to clean up 🥲 I watched her crawl out of one and I was so happy! I hope she starts sleeping in one soon tho! She just started a few days ago so it may take some time.
your videos are great! they get better and better. my hamster, Ralph, lives in a huge aquarium style cage that my dad built. my previous hamster first lived in a dwarf hamster cage that I was miss sold and did eventually live in the aquarium cage. thank you so much Victoria! your videos help me calm down. thankfully, my parents agree with your hamster care and allow me to get the proper stuff. thank you🥰🥰😃😃😁😁
I was visiting Austria over the weekend and one of these little fluffs ran out in front of me. He/she was so scared and was running everywhere, we had to direct it to a grassy area. I've never seen one before as they're not native to my country
I would like to see a video on your opinion about the newer xl models of the critter tale cages I was scrolling online and saw the xl cages for $100 dollars off so I want to know about the size before I think about it
I have a question. My hamster has a really good sized bin cage and I was really lucky to get it about the size of your cages , 8 inches of bedding, proper enrichment but he stills tried to get out and I feel really bad so I have a new cage coming in soon but I was wondering why he does that
Some hamster's just need more space and enrichment, there really isn't a size that will work for all hamsters. I know people with enclosures larger than mine who still aren't happy and need more stimulation and playpen time.
220-460 grams and 8-13 inches. Looks like someone is conflicted on measurment systems Lol, but overall great video. So sad about these giant sweet babies
@@VictoriaRaechel I see. But yeah, I just wanted to say that I really and deeply appreciate your work. I've loved Hamsters for over 15 years and you've taught me quite a lot about them. Thank you
I am thinking to get a hamster, but my family goes on airplanes and travel multiple times every year, I watched your old How to travel with your hamster, but it didn't say anything about taking your hamster on an airplane, like if it costs money, what cage you should get as there is not a lot of space, and also it would be VERY helpful to know how much time you can leave your hamsters alone at home while you go on vacation.
I'd really only recommend plane travel if 100% necessary like if you were moving or something! But just for a vacation I wouldn't want to put them through the travel stress. The longest time you could really be from them would be about 24 hours, so you will likely have to get a pet sitter like you would for a dog and cat :)

Well these aren't a domesticated species. They're wild and you can't get them as pets. She did say this.

How come for your merch you don’t have the hamster gravity falls?
It should be back up now!
@@VictoriaRaechel thank you so much
I've just got my first long haired syrian hamster never had them before only short haired can anyone give me some tips?
Their care isn't too different, you just may need to comb their hair a bit more to prevent mats :)
@@VictoriaRaechelI will do I've gotten him a little comb and a new toothbrush!😄
Hello! Look after the informations properly,as you completely forgot the big European hamster population in HUNGARY.
It wasn’t forgotten, it just wasn’t mentioned. Hence why I said “and many other places” 😊
I hope the European hamsters numbers are increasing instead of decreasing maybe someday the people will make a place for the European hamsters to live and no one can build any buildings there
I really hope they don’t go extinct because they are such beautiful creatures!
I can't believe I've never heard of them, let alone seen. Thank you 👍👍
Oh how I wish they also lived here in Norway.... they are so beautiful! We have the lemming though (lemmus lemmus) who's also in the hamster family. About the size of a Syrian, but temperamental little things 😅

I saw this a couple of weeks ago, I now need to visit that graveyard 😂
I went to see them twice in Vienna this summer. It's really an indescribable experience to see them running around in their element.
That's amazing, I'd love to see them one day.

Hope Penny is doing well.
Me, a Belgian, not knowing we had these cuties in the wild??? I will be looking into programs here, although I doubt there are any here :(
You might be able to find something!
@@VictoriaRaechel apparently there are some, which is amazing news!

Thanks so much for this video. Could definitely use some of this for my reports
enjoy watching the video❤🐹

Thank you for the support!
Its so cute!
Right!
I started tearing up when you talked about the conservation, there are still some good people out there. What would we do without them
I’m so sad that these creatures are going extinct all animals are so beautiful❤
What is your opinion about roborovski hamster? Is Bin Cage good for roborovski Hamster?thank u. Your videos are amazing ❤
They're very cute and speedy hamsters :) If you can find a bin large enough it can be a suitable enclosure.
Omg I hope they don't go extinct
I don't know if you remember me Victoria but you named my hamster her name is mochi thx again
hi!
i love your videos!
Thank you!!
this is so sad, i actually have breeded over 10 europein hamsters so i know about it all i have let hem go as i needed to for their lives i do work with conservation group yo help them!
Do you work with conservation group?
Thank you for covering this! I would love to see a video on the fact that wild Syrian hamsters are now an endangered species too.
I remember when they were saying Syrians were the biggest. Please don't let these beautiful creatures become extinct.
Syrians definitely are the largest domesticated hamster species!
This is so cool I might donate ❤
Thank you for watching!
No problem I love your vids❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is there anyway I can donate or something?
I left links to the projects in the description bar :)

Hi Victoria, I have a Roborovski an Hamster that lives in a 40 gallon tank from Petsmart. Is that big enough? And can you tell me some good bedding to use
It can work but I would aim for larger in the future! Unscented paper-based bedding, aspen, spruce or hemp shavings all are safe :)
I am your biggest fan Victoria the way you’ve impacted my life is so incredible I love you so much you are just so amazing and I just want to thank you can you make a video about Roborovski‘s to?
