i adopted a hamster | getting my robo dwarf hamster vlog

- Hi everyone! This is the most exciting video I have made on my channel because today I adopted an adorable little hamster! I am so excited to have this little guy in my life and to share this moment with you all!
It is so important to me to clarify that I adopted my new Roborovski dwarf hamster and did not purchase him from a pet store like Petco or PetSmart. My store holds adoptable hamsters from local humane societies so that customers have the option in-store to adopt instead of purchase them from the breeders! You can see the sign on the tank at the pet store at moment 6:10 in the video. Also, I got him a hideout house that was not in the video so don't be concerned! He is in great hands :) With this being said, I am completely open to having a conversation in the comments on hamster care!
I really hope you all enjoyed this vlog of me getting my new hamster during quarentine in 2021! Let me know if you want to see more hamster content on my channel in the future! I have some fun ideas :)
Thanks for watching!!!

Hey everyone! I have an updated hamster cage tour where you can see the new cage improvements :) Queso is happy and healthy! ua-cam.com/video/8cCrdLFkPYw/v-deo.html
Hello! I have an answer for your question. Ok, so I know you got a roborovski hamster, so that might be why. Robo’s are a little harder to tame then others, they tend to be more stubborn. You might also have a “Ghost Hamster” where basically, the hamster just likes to be alone, and be in their own little world. If you want more information, I would recommend watching Victoria Raechel’s “Ghost Hamster” video. They are really informative.
@@nnnnellie thank you so much! This was so helpful I really appreciate it!
@@AshleysEpicLife NP!
I’m happy that you got to get one! My parents say they don’t want one but I will convince them :>
@@iloveanime6859 Make sure to do your research!
I love how people give comments and advices about hamster care! It's so helpful and necessary for the hamster's owner as well as others who loves hamster like me 🥰. It makes me feel so happy when people care about hamster and give them proper care!
Yeah.
Yeah and it’s awesome that she is improving her health
I wanna get Me one
Yeah. I care about my hamster so much. We are getting her a new cage because we don't think the one is big enough now she has grown.
I am sure you have already upgraded your cage by now but I do really recommend Victoria Rachael. She has a lot of good hamster care tips.
I know I'm late but Victoria Rachel and Ashley's Aesthetic seem like good friends
Yeah I have a hamster named gizmo snd Victoria Racheal is amazing! I recommend her!
@@lilyandlexislife my hamsters name is Gizmo too!
@@Volleyball72 that is so cool!
Omggg I love Victoria!
i love how he kind of blends in with the bedding! he’s so cute and i just wanna hug him so badly!!! i hope he’s doing well right now……
*tell him i love him*
I love it that he’s a rescue/surrendered hamster.
the hamster is so cute!! 💕 great vlog!! 💖
Thank you so much!!
I would recommend the Kaytee Clean & Cozy bedding and your hamster kinda looks like mines.
I tried this next and I think he really likes it! Thanks for the recommendation :)
ITS SO EXPENSIVE LOL
@@daisyhamham7582 what bedding do you recommend if your on a budget?
@@abigailheagney2632 You can use plain unscented shredded toilet paper as a good alternative, or wood shavings but they must NOT BE PINE OR CEDAR you shop only get ASPEN shavings as the others can be extremely harmful. Hope this helped :)
Is the sopresh paper bedding good? Cuz i have it and im thinking if i could change it to that..
He’s very cute! Would recommend adding more bedding for him to burrow. Also please have more accessories for him! Like more hides cuz robos like it’s over crowded
Bruh
@@ROBLOX-xm2wq I’ve said that two months ago she already upgraded 😒
Yeah so true! We have at least 2 full hands of soft bedding for our gerbils. And we add some hay to help them burry!!
Also, a 40 gallon tank or bigger is the minimum size for any hamster. If you have the space I recommend getting a Ikea Detolf and turning it into a DIY cage.
I agree!! But the Ikea DETOLF is really thin and is really short. This causes them to have less burrowing space so going with the Ikea PAX could be better :)
@@unripe.strbwrii are you kidding ??! The ikea detolf is long you can have 13 inches of bedding
@@unripe.strbwrii well the Ikea detolf is actually a perfectly suitable cage 😊
@@unripe.strbwrii As a person who owns both an ikea detolf, a pax and a bin cage I can absolutely agree. My hybrid didn’t settle until she got a cage over 2 square meters. 🤗
@@gigibent8255 Of course it’s wonderful for a hamster! Though if you had to choose I’m just saying I would go for the Ikea PAX.
Hello if you don’t mind I’m just gonna give you some tips that you can do to improve your hamster a happy life! First I would recommend throwing out that food almost immediately even if it says that it’s mostly recommended it’s not good at all, it’s main ingredient is hay substituting all the other protein and nutrition that the hamster needs making it not good for the hamster :/ I recommend getting the food called Sunburst it’s the most recommended food for your animal! Make sure The package says hamsters because they do have Sunburst for rabbits also! I also recommend A sand bath, the hamster breed you have requires at least 1/4 of the enclosure to be sand, you can put some sand in a container and that works perfect, the container should at least be 6x5! The sand should not have calcium in it the most recommended sand is “repti sand” just make sure you read the package to make sure you’re not buying it with calcium!. I hope this helps! Also your hamster is so cute 😫
Thank you! I already got a different food anyways because he didn’t like it haha and thanks I actually was just looking at sand baths today thank you again for this!
@@AshleysEpicLife no problem! Glad I could help:)
Yes, completely correct. I myself owns two hamsters and I also give my hams foods that is the more expensive type,which means that I feed them the much more healthier type. I have been following this hamster channel which is very good at hamsters. She had given me very good info about hamsters, and I think that everyone should check it out.
The channel is ( Victoria Rachel), make sure to check out her videos:)
Yeah I agree and I’m not even a hamster owner I am a bunny person😃
I started dying when she said the name was caseoh
she was so excited at the car aw that’s so adorable 🥺💕
Ikr 💕🥰
The Hamster is adorable!
Thank you!
Just so you know, he needs at least 6 inches and that’s only the bare minimum. Most people recommend 10 inches. Also the bare minimum of a aquarium should be 40 gallon so you might want to upgrade that soon like really soon because that is really important for hamsters, especially if she needs and need a lot of space to run.
Can we just take a sec to talk about how PERFECT her teeth are!!!??
I LOVE YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH
I got to say how refreshing this is to see proper hamster care!!❤
The cage isn't for hamsters
I love that you actually adopted him :) He's adorable.
Wow your new dwarf hamster is so cute it will have a good life with you
Im so happy for you congrats! keep working hard we love you we will always be here fo u and ur hamster and my dad buying me a guiena pig!🥰
You are so sweet and yayyyy that is so exciting! Do you have a name yet?
@@AshleysEpicLife yes ill probqly name it frost!
Good thing you got THAT bedding. It’s the best for hamsters!
I miss my hamster... fly high Mochi 🕊
I am so sorry for your loss, live long mochi 🕊️
Sorry for your loss to 😢RIP mochi
ugh i love that feeling when u get a new pet!!!
I snuck home a hamster in 2018 when I was like 21 years old or something, but I was so happy. Currently I want to go get two robo hamsters from a family who's kids don't take care of them anymore, but my dad won't let me :(
That’s heart breaking I’m so sorry, I hope he comes around!!
Omg, he is adorable!❤️
Something that I noticed though, is the twenty gallon tank. A 20 gallon sadly is not big enough. When using tanks for hamsters you can not use anything smaller than a 40 gallon. If a 40 gallon is not something that you can/ want to get you can also go with bin cages the IKEA Samla bin is a great option. Another tip I have is to crowd the cage a little more. You could use cork logs, grapevinewood etc. Robotovskis also naturally come from a very sandy area and therefore they need a sand bath (all hamsters need sandbaths). Robos actually need 1 third of their cage to be sand.
She is SOOO cute, and I hope she is still doing good.❤️
Your over 18, means you're an adult. Means that no one can forbid you something :)
@Myah Papayah If the robos grew up together, they can be housed together. I currently have 5 robos in one massive enclosure. All the same sex so no breeding. There is no fighting ever, they all sleep in a pile together too. Robos and dwarfs are actually social and live in groups in the wild, unlike Syrians. Even male dwarf hamsters care for their offspring, unlike Syrians. In fact, if a person is the type to want multiple hams, Robos and other dwarf breeds (outside of Chinese Dwarfs, which are also social, but can also be territorial at times, so out of all the dwarf breeds, the Chinese ones are a little more difficult to house in groups) are the best choice as they're the easiest to socialize even with newer introductions when done properly. Robos thrive best in groups, rather than being solitary.
Sooo adorable ❤️❤️Amazing Vlog!! Keep up the great work :)
Thank you!!!
Hi!! Just too let you know you need atleast 6-8 inches of bedding for them too burrow in!! Hope this helped! 🦋🫶✨️
I'm so happy that you obviously did your research first and gave the hammy a large cage as many just go with the cute little critter trail ones that are far from suitable.
Completely agree, I did all my research for rats and there's so many people who get glass cages for them (rats) (clarify:rats have very fragile lungs, very prone to resptory issues so a glass cage is super bad for them)
If u had the box he came in then you could cot a hole in the box as a door so he can hide there
Reading the comments I’m sure you’ve already updated a lot of stuff, but I will say that I recommend to feed the hamster Higgins sunburst with Mazuri rat and mouse food, it provided the proper nutrition and unfortunately oxbows hamster food just doesn’t!
omg great hamster care! fot your first hamster!hes so cute!
That is a great enclosure! I suggest adding more bedding so he can burrow. You can also add other substrates for a more enriching experience.
OH MY GOD. Your hamster cage and setup is so cool! I’m getting a hamster this month and I am copying your tunnel idea, it’s adorable!!! I’ll give you credits if anybody asks about it lol!
I love how you adopted a hamster he’s so cute 🥺🥰
Thank you!!
@@AshleysEpicLife :)
It was no sportive 🤣🤣 Is so cute i love your reaction
I love how much work you put into this video
I've wanted a hamster for years just like this little fella 💓 One day it shall be
You go girl 🍉🍒🥝🍍🫐🍋🥑🥥🍈🍌🍎🍇🍑🥗🥓🧇🥞🥨🧈🍕🍳🥚🧀
looks great for someone who hasn't had a hamster before id just make sure you put at least six inches of bedding and a little house. hes super cute
Thank you! I know I should have said in the video I wasn’t done buying him toys and hideouts because everyone keeps telling me to get more but his cage was so full of stuff right after recording haha! 6+ inches of bedding too!!
Oh my gosh! This video almost made me cry the amount of love for your hamster is just…..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤! I love it!
Love the DIY! Where did you get the wood planks from ??
Thank you! I got them from hobby lobby!!
hii i am extremely late LMAO but i love ur first enclosure setup! for a new hamster owner its impressive:)
Omg love when people do The research! So many people don’t!💕
Congrats! All your friends here are happy for u
Also I recommend in future getting hamsters from responsible breeders and/or rescuing them
watching a hamster video after my had passed away a month ago thank you for making me feel better I miss my little guy❤
I am so sorry ❤️❤️
You are doing so well as the wheel looks small so just make sure his back isn’t bending at all and they like to burrow so the more bedding the better you are gonna be a great hamster mom
Ah That's what they mean about wheel size, I was wondering how you could tell if it was right size
This is the cutest cage for a hamster omg
Thank you!!
Awww I love his name!! My friend has a hamster named Quesadilla and his nickname is Queso!
THATS SO ADORABLE!!!! I love that aweee
Hi, so because youve gotten a dwarf hamster i would recommend that you fill the cage up a little more because robos get very scared in open spaces and filling the open spaces with hides and climbing toys and such can enrich your hamster much more which can be very enriching x And perhaps adding a little more bedding would be great too x apart from that congratulations on your new friend x :)
please get a 40 gallon tank or more for your hamster or a bun cage! Sun Burst food would be best for variety
20 is fine ya so extra
@Liberty Sellers so it’s gonna die if it’s in a 10 gallon
@Liberty Sellers omg mine is gonna die
@Liberty Sellers thank you so much for telling me this, i actually have a giant bin in my closet so i will watch some videos on how to make it into a cage. you’re so kind and amazing !!
I'm watching hamster content because I'm about to adopt a little hamster 🥺 and omg i bet he lived the greatest life. Also it is awesome that you listened to people's advice and even made a video on how you upgraded your hamster's care because sometimes it takes someone else more experienced than you to see something you can't. 😉
I'm getting a hamster soon and I'm going to see if I can adopt one! (:
I am so happy and grateful that I was able to!
if you do i would recommend watching victoria raechels videos she shows everything you need to know!
@@fatimad7272 I know! I love her channel! (:
I WISH YOU HIT 100K BUT YOUR VIDEOSSS AREEE THEEE BEST
adorable!
Hii I recommend a water bowl and 6-10 inches of bedding!
Adorable ❣️❣️❣️
Super cute hamster!!! I recommend getting at least one more little house and a sand bath,
Yup I added in the description that I got a house and I got a sand bath too after I recorded this!
@@AshleysEpicLife 🐸❤️👍
Please be careful with the wooden stick fence you put up top I had one of those and my hamster got his foot stuck and tried to chew it off he had to go to the vet!!! Your hammy is very cute btw
He hasn’t seemed to be too interested in it but thank you I will continue checking! And I’m sorry to hear about your hamster but I’m glad he’s ok now!
Ashley's Aesthetic thank you!
20 gallon aquarium is 2 small 40 gallon is smallest.
I know I’m kinda late but I think you did a great job on everything the betting the tank food toys I also recommend you give your hamster some vegetables and fruit I also have a robo so I know lots of things about them
Thank you so much for saying that! And I will he loves lettuce and watermelon the most :)
@@AshleysEpicLife aww he got a good home
@@AshleysEpicLife I’m happy he likes it
Cute🤗✨It is splendid with a pleasant bright video
I’m so glad you have made a good cage for your little hammy!! I would recommend taking out the little fence because it’s so easy for hamsters to break the legs by getting the caught ! Also you could add a sand bath (as hamsters can’t be bathed in water)and a really deep bit of bedding on one end of the cage maybe..
WHY IS HE IN A HAPPY MEAL
Hi! I also have a hamster and I recommend getting a little sauce dish for the water (they have some at the pet store) it also looks like a little food bowl for a hamster. Your hamster is very cute though! He ajusted right in! My hamster just instantly went in his house lol
Hi, I just want to say that you got a lot of stuff right for the hamster except two things
Those two things is 1. That little fence has like wire of rope and it can hurt the hamster 2. Not really something wrong but you should get a water dish instead that way the hamster can drink more freely
You might want to add more bedding, more toys, hides, and basically more entertainment. You definitely need to add a sand bath. Dwarfs and robos especially love them. A bigger wheel if you can. But great job with the big cage and the mini 2nd layer!
Hi I guess were having a tour of the wheel great vid Miss Ashley awsome❤❤❤😂 oh yes miss that hamster wheel is not safe its too small you might have to get a big one tho ❤
Hello! I'm just here to give you a tip for your hamster! So I wanted to say that you should at least have 2-3 little hideouts for your super cute hamster!
Thank you! I wasn’t done filling it when I filmed the video and I just didn’t wanna overwhelm him, but I added a ton more that night!
Oh my gooooosh he is roborovski ..... Awwwwwwwww💜💜💜
Hi! I would also recommend watching a UA-camber called Victoria Rachel who has really does hamster care vids and stuff😊
Thx for the like! :)
Great vid great cage size! I would recommend 6inches or more of bedding since you have a hamster! And you may want to get a bigger wheel! :) Overall nice setup!
Omg you are so pretty ❤❤ and your hamster 🐹 is so cute
Thank you so much!!
@@AshleysEpicLife you welcome ❤
awie so cute!! i love the name for your hamster. My hamsters name is Mr.big stuff (because he thinks he is big)
I absolutely love the cardboard tubes 😍
you need at least 6 inches of bedding since hamsters are borrowers, but I like to use 10 inches but 6 is the minimum
I have one too what i recommend is getting editable houses and stuff cause they bite them when they get one
"omg I'm speeding and a sheriff is right there"
Sheriff watching the video: 👁👄👁
Hey!! i doubt you'll see this, but i watched all 3 of your hamster videos, and the comments were turned off on the other 2. Just remember, the MORE clutter the BETTER. also robos LOVE sand and climbing!! Love these videos!
6:07 what's this song!!!! I've been look for the name of this for months and I can't belive i click on a random vid and find it ahhh 😆 someone tell meeee
simple theme by plan8 production
The Hamster is so happy and it’s cute
hes so adorable i asked my dad to get me one too and he kept saying no because i already have a fish, bird, dog, and a outdoor cat.
I would recommend more enrichment and a varied diet instead of the oxbow stuff and also more bedding! Hope you enjoy you new hamster!!!
You are so cute I loved watching this (-:
i need to know how you made the stairs and good thing 😭😭
I’m the 5k like :) btw I love caso
Hello! I would recommend adding more bedding!
And the bare minimum dwarf hamster is 8 to 10 inch wheel
I recommend getting a sand bath as it’s very good for most hamsters and they love it
Looks decent for a starter, I got the small cage and wheel at first but after a month or two I changed everything and now I care for my little guy so mucn.
Congrats on the hamster!!! 🐹❤️
First minute of this video, my head is already spinning.
I'm happy for you because my 2 hamster died I just love hamsters😢
May they rest in peace I bet you took such good care of
Btw u can put ur hamster in a carrier while cleaning them out or u could buy a playpen and put it in that
hi! idk if you will see this bc im late haha! hope your hammy is ok and healthy! I just watched your updated hamster cage and its great! just wanted to say that his little foot might get stuck in the white fence! if you want to start holding him,
just baby steps! alsooo the food isnt that good, yes he cant be picky but i think you should look in to getting a seed mix!
I have3 robo hamsters and they often love to have a friend. Hamsters are very social creates so maybe in the near further you might wanna get a 2nd one. They love to snuggle each other and keep each other’s company. I also recommend yogurt bites and fresh fruits and veggies. Though don’t give them too many as hamsters are prone to diabetes. Make sure to take our any fresh veggies a few hours later so they don’t grow bacteria. I hope little buddy and you are happy!
you should get a sand bath for it! i recommend reptile sand! the sand helps it get less greasy!
I know I’m pretty late to this but I do have a question! Where did you get the little stand leading to his/her food bowl? It’s so cute and I want to get it for my meatball!
It has been a year since you made this video but I have some suggestions to improve your hamster care. Firstly, I would change the food into a variety mix. Sunburst and Mazuri Lab Block works best imo. Another thing is to add more bedding. They need at least 6 inches to burrow. You also need to add a lot more enrichment to provide your hamster with natural activities that they would do in the wild. Scatter feeding half the food is recommended.
I’ve always wanted a hamster
my hamster passed a few months ago but this made me happy
I saw your new upgraded cage and u suggest you make it a little bigger besides that that your alll good
