I hope you enjoyed! don’t forget to subscribe and give it a thumbs up. I’m really working out my time to try post daily videos - as many as I can, but I’m super busy with just life, ya know? I love you all so much. I really hope everything is well and pray for nothing but the best for you love :) take care!
This is so awesome! I'm really glad to see when people let you know about some care mistakes you went ahead and did some research and changed them rather than getting defensive and disagreeing! (it is shame though if anyone left unhelpful harsh comments :c ) It's also awesome you used a part from the old cage!
Victoria Raechel Victoria u r awesome
Victoria Raechel do robos need any extra time to settle in normally, i know i only got it today but he hasn’t come out of his wooden chamber burrow box thing, is that normal, i’m getting worried and i know i probably shouldn’t be but i’m so scared i’m going to hurt him, any advice for when you nervous
Hi Victoria I’m a big fan of ur channel even tho I have hermit crabs
writing to friends robos have not been domesticated nearly as long, only the 90’s vs Syrians in the 40’s, so they are still very wild at heart. Try putting a blanket over his cage (make sure not the whole thing covered so there is still circulation) this will reduce scents and sites that are new and scary letting him adjust to his enclosure first. Don’t forget the are nocturnal and some don’t wake up until midnight. Sorry I’m not Victoria but I hope this helps 😊👍
Rachel Aylmer thank you so much!! i’ll try that he’s becoming a little less skittish and i was giving him his food yesterday and he crawled over my hand, maybe it will make him more comfortable thank you!

Thanks for commenting this :)

I know my comment is late but I love how you still incorporated the old cage so it did not go to waste! You can also use it as a travel cage!!
Ya but she has a big cage attached to it so it’s not like she is keeping it in such a small cage.
@@madeleinepotter9310 By travel cage they mean as a travel carrier, if they ever need to take a trip to the vet or something like that she can use that small cage!
Mine is more late
@@Benjamin_franklins_left_arm mine is even later
@@shirt4164 no mine is
Thank you lol i literally found this vid scrolling through my home page with a victoria raechel video playing😂
Ahahaha that’s awesome 😋
Me Tooooooo.🤣
same
same lol
Samee
"He liked it he stayed on it for 45 seconds" lol such a hamster thing
😂😭
45 seconds is basically 3 hours in hamster paha
@@mrspaisley1 ye HAHA OMG ONE NIGHT IS PROBABLY LIKE A WHOLE YEAR FOR THEM 🙈
Oml i liked ag 49 secs lol
@@rubydrew4896 so that means that the live for like 600 years in hamster years? Ya no
When getting reptile sand, you should make sure it has no calcium or dyes added, that can be just as dangerous as chinchilla dust. That’s literally the only thing I can point out about this video, your care is amazing!
Oh no!! I just knew to get reptile sand instead of dust and that was the only one left :(( thank u for letting me know! 🧡
@@shionarose Thats okay its a common mistake! And dont worry if your syrian has to go without a sand bath for a bit, dwarfs use them way more its not a necessity for syrians just an extra so dont worry if you cant afford to get sand for a few weeks! When you do get sand you can get plain childrens play sand from the hardware store and bake it in the oven to sanitise it or you can buy reptisand online 💗Thank you for givinf your hammy a better life
Shiona Jacobs I believe children’s sand is also an option
@@paigek409 yup! just make sure its heat treated. I prefer to sift out the chunkier bits but thats up to the owner!
If you can't find any calcium free reptile sand you can also use aquarium sand with no dyes added. It's usually cheaper than reptile sand too!
And that’s on people who actually care about thier hamster good job!
Hi this is bean!!! Funny seeing you here haha
Chloe Hatfield hi!
i think i followed you on tiktok
frickyouarmin hahhahahhaaa
I am so pround of you! You made a great job making an upgrade!
Thank you so much 🧡 hope you’re doing well!
Yes, because if someone does not make an upgrade to their cages it is already fine and doesn’t need changing, and also doesn’t take the advice from someone who’s been on UA-cam for 11 years and still hasn’t done anything right, then their care is just hell, and abuse, cause everyone has to listen to the girl who’s been taking care of hamsters for 11 years and still doesn’t know crap.
@RainWolf why are you being so rude, she made a mistake, and learned from it, and keep in mind your profile picture is a hamster practically UNDER something that is probly a car wheel. Please just have some sense when trying to tell somebody something in a harsh way.
@@kylie..57 that hamster in my pfp is NOT mine. and this was like a month ago. but still, TORI ALWAYS FORESES PPL TO CHANGE HOW THEY DO THIER HAMSTER CARE.
Thanks so much for admitting ur mistakes and upgrading! Your hamster is adorable💕🐹
wow your super pretty!!! and I love that even though you spent a lot of money on the bad hamster care, you still went out and spent your money and bought the good stuff!!
Thank you so much love 🦋
Wow your care is amazing! I watch Victoria raechel too! Also by the way the sand bath idea with a bendy bridge above it is a great idea, I might use it! I bet your hamster is very happy💞🐹
An actual example of a good person who owners up to their mistakes and responded to feedback to better the life of her pet 🥰 thank you!
when you actually listen to people instead of calling them a tik tok vet😗😗
this aint tik tok
3 Crazy Cousins lemme guess, you’re the one who be calling people vets
I mean honestly there’s a lot of uneducated people on yt and tt acting like vets. There is a strong difference between saying that to an unknowledgeable person and a knowledgeable and experienced person
Don’t look at that picture well, if they have no knowledge why call them vets? and most people being called a vet are people with knowledge and experience because people don’t know how to take constructive criticism so they just take the shortcut and call them vets
yep Kiera just got two rats, and instead of LISTNENING to people she said that she thinks her HOUR of research and, get this * PROFFESIONAL * pet shop advice is enough 😔 btw i did 3 MONTHS of research before i got my rats 😣
Your hamster is absolutely adorable 🥺 during COVID jobs and payment can be hard but the fact that u have still made sure your hamster was in a safe comfortable environment is so kind you have done an amazing job making the tank I love it!
I love that you are improving your care and just your whole vibes are so nice, I love your voice and I’m gonna go watch all of your content 🥺🥺❤️
i love this video!! i do just wanna say tho that the picture you put on the screen when talking about "way to small wire cages" actually looks like the prevue 528 which is a great hamster cage!! it's about 608 sq in plus an extra ledge which provides even more space. it's very popular in the hamster community and is what i have for my hamster :)
Yes
He looks so happy! 💖 this kids, is someone who wants the best for their pets.
Paper based beeding is soft but it isn't the best for burrowing so i suggest changing that, also the minimum wheel requirement for a syrian hamster is 10" other than that supper cute and you did really good!! 🐹❤
Please make sure you bake the sticks first because since it’s from outside it’s not going to be the cleanest. Also if you’re using sand you have to make sure it’s calcium free. I recommend using the Higgins sunburst hamster food mixed with the mazuri rat pellets both of these foods provides your hamster with the needed protein.
Angelinaaa W okay thank u! I feed him other nuts, insects, fruits and veggies aside from the mix I bought him :)
Your forgot fired mealworms and veggies and fruits
You’ve been watching Victoria haven’t you 🙂🙂🙃
Angelinaaa W haha that’s great!
Peachyy Boba you don’t need mealworms . They aren’t necessary it’s up to the owner.
Thank you for taking the best people advice ! The employees don’t know the best products and are just showing you the expensive stuff telling you they’re the best
I know this a was from 2 months ago but I wanted to say thank you so much for giving your hammy a good live and you can use the old ‘cage’ as a travel cage and when you have a money I highly suggest you get one that will for a wheel in too as they like to burrow they wheels in the bedding sometimes and then are unable to use it but thank you so much for giving him a live he deserves!
I’m so happy you fixed and admitted your mistakes instead of trying to pretend they didn’t happen!! Everyone can learn from this so thank you! ❤️
It's adorable how much you love your hamster, and I love seeing people give their hamsters better life's!
This makes me really happy! Instead of being defensive and taking the comments to yourself you put your hamsters health and wellbeing first which is obviously how is supposed to be! Love your cage and your hamster is super cute
The intro was everything 😂 So glad you upgraded and I agree that there are a lot of kinder ways to give someone information on how to care for their pet. Unless it's a blatant case of neglect I always try to be polite
Aww this is amazing it's obvious you care for him and you have no idea how happy these videos make hamster owners❤
I’m a bit late, I got a hamster this past week (I did all my research) and I always get mad at people who buy small cages and don’t upgrade them. So I say thank you for doing this, your hamster will be so happy 😀:)!
omg i saw your channel today i watched all your videos i love them so much
That means so much 🥺✨
Don’t listen to pet store employees they don’t know what their talking about.
One time at my PetSmart she told me that if I did my research, and I said yes. Even though I said yes she said all of the necessities.
the pet store employee gave me the option of this little crittertrail cage it was literally not even the size for dwarf hamsters so i lied i already had a cage and went ahead and bought a bin cage
Some of them do know some things, like when I first got a hamster in 2019 I almost got a hamster ball but the employee told me about how bad they are, and I almost got bad wood shavings and she also helped me find the right kind!
Yeah and if you go to a pet store and have to ask the ppl working there how to take care of the animal you’re buying, you shouldn’t be buying the animal.
yeah, they just want u to buy something expensive so they have more money
Thank u so much for listening to her. It’s such a bigger cage and so much healthier for ur hamster 💗
🌎💖
I'm so happy for you and your hamster! It's amazing that you actually listened to Victoria and did this amazing upgrade! Thank you for being a good hamster owner and I hope your hamster has a beautiful long life!
💓💓💓
Thank you! I see so many people on the internet who get hamsters, show it on a video, get hate, disable the comments, and just completely ignore it. It’s uncommon to find people who actually care enough about the animal to give it a proper home with a proper setup after wards, I can only think of you, Jenna marbles, and one other person I have seen do this. But so many people who just ignore it and let hammies suffer. They are such amazing animals that deserve the space that we should give them, CritterTrail and Kaytee just seem to think that it’s small and cute, let’s market it at kids who don’t have their own money and sell them improper things because it can be cheaper for them and more appealing. But still, it’s great to see people who do care about the hamster and not just ignore care, also adorable hammie
A GOOD PET OWNER LEARNS FROM THEIR MISTAKES!!!!!!!!!!
I really appreciate people like you. Really humble and admits whenever they're wrong. Subscribed to you, cause you deserve to be followed, a good influencer! ❤️
Thank you so much 💖 means a lot
Omg!! Your hamster is so cute! 😍 here’s a little tip for those chews that you got Put some sunflower seeds in them! It makes if more interesting for the hamster! :) he/she will most likely play with it more! (I do this with my hamster and she loves it)
Love seeing that you’re taking the constructive criticism and choosing to improve your care. Your sweet little hamster will appreciate all the extra love you put into his home and care. I got a lot of my knowledge from Victoria’s videos as well btw, she’s incredible!!
Your hamster is really gonna have such a good life omfg well done🥰
🥰💖
it's so refreshing to see someone actually educate themselves and make a change to give their pet a better life, like not to be dramatic but i love you lmao, definitely need more people like this in the world !!
It's so amazing that you upgraded!! Love it! One thing on my mind: Maybe you should add a bit more bedding as hamsters are burrowers. In my country the minimum of bedding depth is 8 inches! We mostly fill cages up until the wheel (or whatever is the highest interior) nearly touches the lid! However, just to mention again: Great work you did! Can't believe that pet shops really recommend SUCH small cages... poor hamsters that have to live in these prisons for their lifetime. Pet shops could do soo much better.
I personally would do water bowl because it’s more natural for them. But that’s really based on opinion, you could do both just to be safe and see what your hamster likes more. That’s the only thing I thought to point out in this video. You could have done a bin cage which would have been cheaper and you could’ve gotten bigger, but your aquarium is fine.
Thanks for taking action for your hamster and I hope you guys have a fun time together 😊 I just have one tip though. Try not to give yogurt drops to often as they have quite a bit of sugar. I recommend to feed them to your hamster like every 12 weeks. Try not to give them it though.
For any other people reading this and have a dwarf hamster and are feeding them yogurt drops. I recommend to give them it every 2-3 weeks as they are prone to diabetes.
I’m sooo late but fr I love it when someone takes advice and puts it into practice
I wish everyone was like you- even not with just hamster care. The world could be a better place if people would just admit and fix there mistakes!
It’s great to see that u researched and realized what you were doing wrong and did everything to improve! ✨
I really liked how you reacted to criticism. No blow up, just calm talk. Even when it comes to the hate you got. Great change of the enclosure. Your hammster is really cute🙂
Good on you for actually changing and not getting defensive! You are pretty amusing to watch and it’s good you actually gave your hamster an upgrade!
I love that you improved your hamster care and he is so cute, gorgeous colour. Sadly you won't be the first or last person to be fooled by the pet shop advice :(
💛💛💛
a tip for others thinking about getting hamster, the detolf from ikea is huge and often used as a hamster cage. just search on UA-cam for "detolf hamster" and ull get lots of videos :)
I know this is late, lol, but I'm so happy for your hamster
The little tube system you put in is so cute! The only thing is the air flow could be bad, so I recommend cracking the door a bit!
Thanks so much for following Victoria Rachael's advice it's so great you admitted your mistakes every first hamster owner makes mistakes.😁👍You will have a happy hammy.Also actually water bowls are better than water bottles in my opinion they're just as sanitary and Victoria Rachael has an updated video on this😁😁Also in terms of diet try adding some kind of protein supplement in your Hammys diet as well as veg (Victoria Rachael also has a video on hamster diets)
I'm SO glad someone actually listens to critism and respects it. It is so good to see that you try your best to give your hamster a good life and learn from your mistakes. Good job👏👏👏👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🐹🐹🐹
I also watch Victoria, she's my favourite pet youtuber. Everyone makes mistakes and important thing is that you did the right thing. Some people really don't listen and think that small hamster needs small cage wich is definitely incorrect. You did great job👏! I know I'm little late😅
Ps. Your hamster is adorable
Victoria and Little Adventures are mine. I own 4 (5 soon) guinea pigs, and the reason why I watch Victoria is because I used to have a hamster and it lived in a terrible cage. I didn't know because I mostly knew about guinea pigs and they gave me her as a surprise.. She passed away and I felt that she lived a terrible life so I watch Victoria's videos to know what to do if I get a hamster.
I’m so happy that you actually listened to people’s criticism and tips instead of getting angry and ignoring them like a lot of people do kudos to you!
Hey, I see you are giving you hamster yogurt drops, PLEASE DO NOT GIVE HIM MORE THAN ONE A WEEK! It packed full of sugar! Thank you!
yup! or get sugar free ones,those taste disgusting but some hamsters like them just as much
Yessss I love this!! Pet care isn’t about being the best owner ever, it’s about making mistakes and learning from them!💜 You’re so nice for spending all that money.💜
Same this happen to me those employees always lying especially with the oxbow food
Oxbow hay is good though.
Hey girl just so you know, oxbow is one of the best small animal foods you can buy! Although a mixed seed diet is good for flavor, sometimes the pet wont eat the most important part of the mix and will only eat the yummy stuff. A good mix of pellet diet and seed diet is best!
moig joid this isn’t true, oxbow for rabbits and guinea pigs are fine but the oxbow got hamsters/gerbils isn’t good for them. It’s hay based (which goes right through them and they don’t get all the nutrients from it. Hamster have been known to starve to death on the oxbow food.), it doesn’t have enough protein either. Hamsters need at least 17% protein in their diet and oxbow hamster food only has about 12%. The best hamster diet is the Higgins Sunburst and the mizuri rat and mouse block food. It gives them enough variety and protein together and many hamster owners swear by this diet. I suggest watching some videos or doing more research before suggesting a food/diet.
Thank you so much for actully listening to people and not being like “my hamsters fine the petstore recommended it so it’s good”
I'm sorry if anyone has said it but I have a Carolina storm wheel I got off etsy and it is perfect for a Syrian ham. Didnt know if this would help u out or not with the wheel situation. U did really good on ur tank, amazing and I know ur ham will love it!!
That’s such a mood tho “I wanna make it natural but cute 😂🥰”
I'm so freaking happy that you changed things up for the little bean! THIS is character development
Idk if anyone else has said this but u can use ur old cage as a carrier
Idk about that one though apparently it has very poor ventilation from my knowledge. I’ve never owned one soo
I have made the same mistakes, and Victoria has helped me too! I am upgrading to a 65 gallon tank! My robo, Gimli, is going to be happy. It’s awesome to see wonderful people do wonderful things like this.
I’m so happy for you!
Edit: I’m literally gonna work at a Petsmart to give people the right animal advice
Yesss 🥺 you would help SO MANY animals 💓
Yes and ban critter trails or tell ppl not to buy them or buy the walmart cage(bin boi)
WE STAN A HELPFUL QUEEN
This is great one thing though not to be rude or anything but I wouldn’t recommend reptile sand with added calcium it is better without it I’m sure you have one very happy hammy I love how you did research 😁🐹🐾
I really recommend the Kaytee clean and cozy bedding, its amazing 🥺 but i love this glow up omg
You did an Awesome job! The only thing I want to say is make sure you don’t give him lots of yogurt drops. And maybe add a little more bedding. Other than that love the enclosure! Love you!
Great job upgrading your enclosure and set up! Looking fab :) It's nice to see someone take advice on board.
Yayyy! Also just wanted to tell you to not feed yogurt drops to often bc they are super sugary ❤️ maybe once a month
She did only give one so as long as she does not do it for a while it should be fine
1 time a week is ok too
JstephTheRockThatSugaReincarnatesAs InHisNextLife it depends on the hamster
You are a incredible person don't let anyone ruin your day, your hamster care is amazing!!!
Ayyyyyyy good job ur hamster living the good life
🧡
It’s always good to see someone that admits their mistakes and moves forward! Congrats on the hamster and congrats on being a good person
Is anyone just ignore the fact that she dived head first and fell in the beginning of the video😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂🧡
Omg ty for replying I love you so much ❤️❤️
The hamster community is ruthless. Ignore the bullies they’re unfortunately really common but definitely take constructive advice from the kind, helpful people in the community.
Hey there! Calcium sand is not healthy for hamsters, so please just use normal reptile sand 😄
I love that you took initiative and did what is right for your hamster instead of disagreeing and not changing a thing, so props to you on that. I think it looks great, one suggestion I have though is just to put a bit more substrate in at least one part of the cage as hamsters, especially syrians are very avid burrowers. But overall, great job
Just a tip, your hamster may tug on the little threads of the mossy house! You don’t want him eating that!!!
Ps: your hamsters adorable!!!
This is what so many hamster owners should do! Thank you for being responsible and upgrading your hammy! People need to realize that giving advice isn’t hate and that it’s what’s best for the hamster, your enclosure looks great! I wouldn’t recommend getting sticks from outside though, I think there are ways to clean them but I’m not sure of any. :))
Thank you! Someone told me to bake them for about 10 minutes to get the bacteria off
I love the cage but a tip is to give it 7 inches of bedding
7 inches?? Jesus. I mean I get that they need to burrow but I think it’s really expensive to use that much bedding especially since they require constant spot cleaning and maintenance
Also 6 inches
we love to see someone taking their mistakes and fixing them rather than ignoring them! ❤
i don’t believe the sand you showed is okay for your hamster. if it contains calcium in the sand it isn’t safe for your hamster. I recommend going to Home Depot and getting their play sand (around 5$) for a huge bag. you do have to properly bake the sand and sift the sand to make it safe.💕💕 there is also a brand called repisand which is suitable as well but it does have to be that exact brand xx. 💕
yes that is true but you don’t have to bake the sand as long as it’s heat treated 💕 (you can still bake it just in case tough!)
I love the bridge above the sand bath, it makes it so it doesn’t take up any floor space and it’s a little hide out !! So smart
The care is good but the sand has calcium and that can hurt the hamster pls get diffrent sand you can get 5 pounds of sand for like 5 bucks at lowes just pls pls change the sand
YAAAAYYY I'M PROUD YOU DISCOVERED HER TOO!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
another thing: yogurt drops arent safe for hammy's via multiple resources
Okay thank you for the info!🧡
@@shionarose they can have them once a month.
@@shionarose they are safe, just to be given in moderation
they're okay just not for everyday
They're only okay in small amounts, once a week is more than enough. But when it comes to dwarves defiantly avoid them as they're prone to diabetes, but with Syrians they won't hurt. Tbh I just wouldn't give them at all personally as they really have no benefit, might as well give the real plain yogurt since that's much healthier with not nearly as much sugar
I am so happy you decide to do research and change you're care. You made your hamster so happy. That shows that you care and I wish there was more people like you that will learn and grow. You are a good hamster owner!
*auto correct changed my spelling 😆
A “budget” 0-0 that is a pretty big budget (coming from a cheap family I was basically raised to be cheap)
Ouuuu!!! This is amazing😄 I just love seeing people learn and do the right thing. Such a great example for other people.
I forget how big Syrians are even though I have had some big Syrians rn I only have dwarfs
I LOVE the cage the only thing I would recommend is putting at least 5 inches of bedding in one area so he can make a proper burrow and the only thing I thought could be a little dangerous is the moss on the log just make sure it is pet safe cause they chew on EVERYTHING!!
I realized you are using calcuim sand. I wouldn't reccomend that. I don't want to put you down I just want to be helpful :)
It takes a big person to do this THANK YOU that hamster will have such a good life with you
Hello! I think it’s great that you got a sand bath for your hamster , but I’m pretty sure I saw you used calcium sand , I would recommend a non calcium reptile sand , or even heat treated children’s play sand that’s a really cheap option!
OMG I’m so proud of you! Your hamster is really lucky to have you as his mom! I’m sorry if some people were being rude and giving really harsh criticism bc it’s not right. Just know your educating and inspiring many people by showing proper hamster care and being so dedicated to your hamster!💕
I love your new cage. That reptile moss hide looks super cool!!!
We love someone being a good pet owner💓👑
You are a really good hamster owner, you take the time and effort into your pets💕
Well done for upgrading your hamsters cage and doing your research
