    Do not worry about your hamster "eating" the toilet paper. For one they aren't eating it, they have *cheek pouches* that they store bedding, food, etc in so they can bring it back to the nest and if your hamster does ingest any toilet paper it's not going to die- toilet paper can easily be digested and dissolves very easy.

      Victoria Raechel hi I was wondering if you could help me out, so one of my hamsters juniper, she’s great and all however I have a question
      I got her a new wheel, it’s a really nice silent runner wheel that I thought she might like, however I don’t know if she uses it. When I first got it she did and I saw her use it but lately I haven’t heard or seen her use it. I’ve seen her go in it but I haven’t been seeing her go on it. She’s only about a year so she’s still young. Do you know any way for me to find out if she is using her wheel?

    I've had my hamster for 6 days now, he seems to be getting used to his surroundings and when we first got him he was coming up to us and sniffing our hands. The last couple of days he seems to be more timid and enjoys his wheel or just sitting in the tubes that surround his cage. He's not biting on the bars or anything anymore so I don't think he's stressed but I'm worried that he's just decided that he hates me 😂 I will definitely be trying the bath tub method and hopefully that gets him to trust me more

There is no where she can go to escape or run away. I have the biggest bond ever with her.

I let him have some kale this afternoon when I finished my college classes and he loved that.

    cc26,
    I just want to take a minute to thank you. One day I was wandering the depths of UA-cam, and came upon one of your videos, I thought to myself, that looks really cool. So, I watched it. I never knew how much one video could change my life. Thanks to you, I now have one Syrian hamster, named Genevieve, and I know all the important facts about hamsters, and I can tell you one thing, it took a lot of effort. But you constantly inspire me to give my hamster an amazing life, and I just want to thank you. For all your hard work, and for your fluent selflessness.

  • @chocolatebunny5465

    I had a hamster and he never fully tamed. he actually only bit me maybe 3 times total and would let me pick him up and pet him but he didn't seem soothed by it or interested in me. i made his cage bigger but it still could have been better i think and also he had a bigger wheel to run in for his back. i put him in the hamster ball for maybe an hour twice a week but sometimes he would just sit there for a really long while and never go anywhere. i tried all sorts of stuff with him. i tried making a giant playpen with a plastic tub but he never enjoyed that. i got a bunch of tubes and made mazes for him but he would run through it so fast that it was only fun for maybe 15 mins. i also would feed him little pieces of apple and pears and such almost daily. also made him a sand bath that he used.
    anyways i just was really depressed the entire time i had him and ended up just giving him away for free to someone else along most of his stuff. i felt bad but he was already a year old and maybe he was able to bond with that family more than me.
    asvsdvsvas
    idk thanks for listening. also i got him as a gift but ultimately he came from petco so that may have been part of the problem.

    day 2: she bit me so I used some gloves to clean up her cage. She got on her wheel but hasn’t used it fully and got in her tunnel but didn’t go all the way up.😔
    day 3: she has calmed down a lot more and I think she went up her tunnels because I could see a spot when she borrowed. but..... she is borrowing under her wheel and I don’t know how to stop her. She still bites but is a little calmer I think were making progress. OMG SHE TOOK THE TREAT WITHOUT BITING MY GLOVE😁☺️
    day 5: I used the bath tub method and it worked she only bit me once and I got to pick her up and hold her. When I put her back in her cage I laid a treat on my palm and she bit me but in the bath tub she was really good☺️😄

      Remember to not shake. Be confident that the hamster won't bite you. They can sense that your worried and will be scared and bite. Also I recommend rubbing your hands in their shavings so that you smell like them and they probably won't bite. Finally they may be thinking that your hand is the treat so put the treat at the end of your hand so that's the first thing they smell

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of offering her a treat, then lying my hand out flat on the bed.. She waddled onto my hand, sniffed my finger, and went for a very delicate bite. Pretty sure she was confused, since it wasn't a hard bite like a proper bite.. More of a "Is.. This food? Smells like food. Let me taste test.." haha.

    I just got my hamster today (winter white) his name is pepper I'll update every day for a few days
    Day one: he ate a treat from my hand, I stuck my hand out and he crawled on it but he bit my thumb and It tickled, he doesn't exactly trust me but we're working on it
    Second day: he kept me up all night on his wheel and I'm thinking of getting him a silent one, he crawled a little bit on my hand and sniffed me but was hesitant, I'll update again tommorow
    3rd day: he climbed on my hand and stayed there, he tried out his ball and he loved it

    I wish this video existed when I was 11 years old! Great job on the information and directions!

    Luckily, my hamster was pretty tame when I adopted him. Thankfully, I've had him for over 6 weeks and he's never bitten me. Also, a new (huge 460 sq.in) cage exention (the old one was fine and met requirements but I felt bad, he loved it anyway) coming tomorrow. (It connects to the old one, so more floor space! And now it's not all broken up!)

    I glanced at the title and thought it said “how to name your monster”

    I got my first hamster in 7 years last week, and im so much more anxious than ive ever been to handle him. He takes food from my hands and he stood on my hands today for the first time. Slowly slowly 😩
