My 7yo son has wanted a hamster for years (I think largely because of hamster TikTok/UA-cam), but we have been renovating our house so we kept telling him no. We finally compromised and said we'd get a fish, but once we got to the pet store yesterday my wife and I caved, read the care guide they had, and bought a dwarf hamster, a habitat, and all the accessories (yes, including a ball and a bunch of tunnels). Then we got home, found your UA-cam, and today I'm returning the habitat and most of the accessories we bought and running to Home Depot to pick up some melamine and acrylic to build a bigger, deeper habitat for Comet. And my wife is ordering all new accessories from NiteAngel and sprays from Etsy. So our little hamster thanks you.
@yes Doing really well. Ended up using a glass reptile habitat we found on FB marketplace instead of building something, just to save a bit of money (though we cleaned and descented it thoroughly). We've started getting different materials for bedding and ordering sprays. She's super tame, so I've been picking her up without any problems for a while now but my kids are kind of just learning to handle her. And they make new little cardboard mazes every weekend for her to play in while I do the habitat cleanings.
i used to have my hamster in a small pet store cage.. it was the quick clean apartment, but when i watched your videos i upgraded my hamster immediately to a bin cage big enough
@@Bl3116 you can to to a lot of stores such as walmart, target, home depot, etc. and get some sort or mesh and cut parts of the top of the bin off and duct tape (on the top) the mesh to the bin. make sure the bin is a suitable size for hamsters!!
There's also a "trend" on tiktok that says: what's the funniest way your hamster died" I'm like WTF. And most comments are heartbreaking. It's not even a joke, poor animals suffer a lot
hey I just wanna say thank you for all the effort you put into videos like this! my hamster passed away last week, but your videos helped so much and corrected many of my errors!
my hamster passed away 2 weeks ago but i am so happy knowing he lived a great life thanks to victoria. hopefully now others will not make the same mistakes we did, and then raise kids who will also take great care and show love to their hamsters!
Oh my gosh I relate to that first tiktok so much! My longhair syrian Pumpkaboo came into my life because he very clearly had escaped from someone else. I saw him running around outside in my apartment complex at night on the way back from getting my laundry. I thought he was a rat at first! I caught him with a carrot and tupperware just to get him out of danger. After asking everyone, checking with the property managers, and posting on next door trying to find his owner, nobody came forward to claim him. I had no idea how to take care of a hamster so I actually followed your videos to find out how to set up an enclosure for him and feed him correctly! I've had him for almost six months now and love him so much. But he absolutely is a little escape artist and we went through progressively bigger enclosures with different types of enrichment till we got a configuration he decided he liked lol.
5:49 I went to a Christmas party and someone did this and it was just in the petsmart cardboard carrier like when you get it and people were NOT HAPPY. And as a hamster owner, I was like in the verge of tears-
I think TikTok is definitely the platform I see the most hamster abuse/neglect or just uneducated owners in general! I am a small, growing content creator and I see it constantly unfortunately. 😢 I get a lot of “hamsters are small and don’t need that” and it’s frustrating. I love the education side though! Thanks for sharing these as I think it’s important.
You're the reason that my 5 hamsters are happy. Though its expensive to cared for them, but its worth every penny. Always love your educational video V!!
I love this video!! I totally agree, as someone who’s active on tiktok in the hamster community, most people are awful. Even when you politely educate them on what they’re doing wrong, most refuse to listen. Thank you for the effort you put into your videos! Your videos helped me make sure I could provide my hamster with the best life possible. ❤️ You inspired me to start making social media content! Thank you 🥰
You completely saved my hamster! I was kinda impulsively looking for a hamster and I started watching your videos and I was like ‘oh hold on’ and now I’ve had multiple hamsters who have all come from ethical breeders (which I didn’t even know were as thing until watching you) and have large cages (my current hamster has 1200 square inches)! Thank you! ❤
@@existentialnoodles My dad had a snake which unfortunately passed recently, and when he was younger (the snake lived 30 year) his dad (my grandfather) made a custom enclosure. Where I live it can get kinda cold so we installed a new heater where the snake’s heater users to be. I wish I could give you an answer but I can’t, I would recommend like renovating and IKEA cabinet or something, or, if your budget is higher, maybe getting one custom made or getting some wood or something from a local shop and building one 💕
@@mrs.perfectly.fine. i'm not the person who you replied to, but thanks! my old hamster had a sorta small cage and i feel pretty guilty. i'm getting a hamster in a few months when i move into my new house, and i wanted to know where to get a cage from. also, i'm sorry for your dad's loss :( i hope your dad is doing okay! have a good day
@@kazkyuu Hey! Don’t feel guilty! It’s not your fault, you were just under-educated on the subject, and that’s ok! That’s how we learn! I’m sure your hamster was happy with what they had! My dad is doing fine thanks! Have an even better day c
Thank you for that information about a hamster being dead or "hibernating". My hamster (in my profile pic) passed recently and I really struggled with being afraid that I had buried him and he wasn't dead. He definitely was very stiff though, so it puts my mind at ease knowing I didn't accidentally bury my hamster alive.
Many people fall for the myth of hamsters hibernating, but in reality it's not that common unless your home is absolutely freezing and at that point they would go into torpor and without help of warming up quick enough they would still pass away.
I am so happy I watched your channel. I began watching your channel when my parents agreed to get me a hamster but you've still helped me since I got one. Yesterday I built platforms and I bought dig boxes and substrates. Thank you so much! X
It’s so sad that people think that those tik toks are “entertaining.” 😢 I hope the first one had a happy ending! If that happened to me, I would SAVE IT AND KEEP IT AS MY OWN! 😂 Loved your video! ❤
I see enough hamster reels Instagram & FB show me, I definitely don’t need a tik tok acct. I’m glad you showed some cute videos!! The hamster that got stuck, it really looked like the owner cared.
Hi Victoria I just got a robo hamster yesterday I already love him sm. I've been watching your channel for months so that I could take proper care of him. I love your channel and everything you do tysm
I love my robo hamster Evie but she does not love me haha and I've done everything in the book to try to bond with her but in the end I'm fine with loving her from afar and giving her the best life
@@VictoriaRaechel ya I love him so much and I am talking all the advice you put in your videos to good use he is super happy and healthy in his new home
Dear Victoria, I'm 23. Since I've found your channel I watched like 1/3 of all your videos. I'm having hamsters for almost whole life. They are my everything. I'm trying to be even better at taking care of my hamster but You made me realise how many mistakes I'm making. (thankfully I'm not keeping my hamsters in a small cages) Your knowledge impressed me, and I'm fixing my mistakes to take a better care about my animals. Thank you for everything you do ♥
Another great video! Kind of sad that a lot of owners don’t provide proper care for their hamster 😢 I recently got the niteangel bigger world hamster cage and my robo loves it and it’s all because of you, so thank you! ❤😊
hey! you might not remember me but a while back i was asking about my rats and you recommended another channel and thank you so much! my rats wound is healing and he is doing so much better and he seems happier too!!! thank you for the help victoria!❤❤❤
I just wanna say how grateful i am to have you videos to watch when im sad or when im in need of some tips. Thank you for all the ffort you make to make these vids for us !!!
some of these videos are so painful to watch. it costs nothing to do your own research (assuming you have a phone) and it cost nothing to just be f*cking kind to your hamster and treat them with respect, love and care. and that tiktok of the dead hamster,,, are you kidding me? also i love your commentary and videos in general!! You have helped me immensely and now i’m currently saving up to build my own cage and spoil the hell out of my future hamster that i’m gonna adopt🥹 you are a beautiful person inside and out and your videos always make me feel better, you are truly so amazing,, thank you for advocating for these angels❤️
On the last TikTok where u were talking about hybernation and like the tempatures it needs to be I am so glad that in the winter I keep a heater on in my room that keeps my room at at least 75 degrees
Omg the blender guy plus your reaction 😂😂 has me laughing so hard I loved it!! Ever since I started searching more about hamsters every content I see about is just like you “this is not fun” “that’s not the right setting” thank you for teaching me so much 💖
I got my hamster Sam (chinese hamster) in 6th grade. I came accross your page and learned all about the proper ways to care for him, I even created a tiktok where I gave out tons of helpful tips that let even more people learn. Over the summer after my freshman year of highschool Sam passed away. He was almost 4 years old at the time and I couldn't have been happier to have spent as much time with him as I did. Thank you for educating people and giving so many hamsters better lives
I upgraded my humster from small cage to a big one same yours. Thanks God she is so happy now not stressed any more. Tanks to all your videos that keep us educated on how to take care of our small adorable pet🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
First! Me and my hamster actually watched this together ❤️ (idk why he loves to sit on my chest and watch whatever I'm watching on my phone but it's so cute 😂)
Have you guys seen that one where the hamster went into the vents and the girl was like BILL COME BACK! And the hamster just waddled away farther. Hoping they got him back
Unfortunately TikTok and UA-cam Shorts are full of Hamsters and other small animals being mistreated. I always report those kinds of videos, but I don’t think it changes what gets put in the feed. It’s especially bad on Shorts, I’ve seen some pretty traumatizing things that are going to scar me for years and UA-cam doesn’t seem to care.
the thing is social media platforms will flag or delete videos of dogs or cats being mistreated or in distress but when it comes to hamsters being mistreated, it’s deemed as “funny”
@@hi-zp8db unfortunately, people like watching animal videos, but hate learning anything about them. I often see people fight for their own ignorance against comments with information. It's as if their right to not be informed about things should have been protected above anything else, and putting their immediate feelings (of not wanting to be bothered) above animal welfare as a whole. I just don't understand it, but people have a visceral reaction against new information.
She needs to do a reaction on Hamster and Gretel. I have only watched the first few minutes of it but that’s enough to know that Disney did not do their research.
Привет ,я уже третий день смотрю твой канал, так как моя дочь хочет чтобы мы завели хомяка. Сперва я смотрела русские видео, но мне не понравилось как у нас содержат хомяков. И просто написала в поиске хомяк на английском языке и попала к тебе 😊 смотрю твои видео с автопереводом субтитров. Получила много информации по правильному содержанию хомяков. Теперь я знаю с чего начать,прежде чем приобрести питомца. Большое спасибо тебе за твой труд, ведь на самом деле на Ютубе так много плохой информации, и неверной о хомяках. Будем с мужем строить большой вольер для хомяка, чтобы он был счастлив ❤️и только потом купим хомяка. Ещё раз большое спасибо тебе ❤️
One time my Hamster got lost, because he chewed at the Ventilation holes in the Plexiglas and made a hole big enough to escape (in One Night!!!)… I’ve searched for him for a week… I have two cats and thought they killed and ate him… 8 days later I saw him eating from one of the cat bowls, while my cats shared the other one… he was fatter than before… 3 or 4 months later we had to lay the Couch on the side, because on leg was lose… and over a hundred pieces of cat Good Fell out of a tiny hole and there was a big ass Hamster nest made out of parts of the inside of the Couch…
About that joke tiktok; impulsive thoughts don't work that way and people actually struggle with them lots, people like me. So those tiktoks are actually really harmful to people with ocd.
i hate hamster tiktok. whenever some isn’t caring for them properly, 90% of the time they get defensive and say they’re too broke or that the hamster is fine in the tiny tale cage. it’s so sad.
Yep had a front door my hamster got out under. Found him in the communal area and rescued him before the cat upstairs got to him. My other little sod got out and got into my bedroom. Woke to him sitting on my pillow staring at me. He licked the tip of my nose, settled down and fell asleep.
I loved watching them trash the Hamsterball. - About rigor mortis... Well tough theme but afterwards the body "softens" again. This is confusing to hamsters owners so, please , hamster owners, do your research to prevent Torpor + providing first aid while you run to the nearest vet.
hey victoria! i got my 2.5 month old robo a month ago and started leaving fresh veggies in a bowl for him, but he doesn't want to eat anything (lettuce, carrot, cauliflower). he's a fan of mealworms, sunflower seeds and his usual mix though. how do i encourage him to eat his veggies??
Hi this is a great video I love all you’re videos you take great care of you’re Hamsters I have two hamsters and I have learned so much from you my two past hamsters lived in a tiny tales cage but that was when I didn’t watch your videos but overtime i stared watching all you vids and now my one hamster lives in a 2000 square feet cage and so does the other and it’s all thanks to you thank you for helping with my hamster’s care over the years
My hamster passed recently and I just want to say thank u for everything u have taught me so I could give my hamster the best she meant a lot to me so thank you
Hi! I'm from Spain! I'm working in a petshop (don't buy animals). I really enjoy your videos and I'm learning so much. Thank you. The thing is...the food... There are mixtures but I don't think they have a optimal proporcion. Do you know how to do a mixture? Thanksss !!!!
Hi Victoria! You inspired me to get my dwarf hybrid hamster, and I also might get a Syrian hamster soon! Do you think you could make a video on safe and unsafe hamster wood?
I did Year's of research before i got fluffball my rabbit she has her own xpen and her door is always open she drinks and eats from bowl's i know drinking from a water bottle can cause dehydration and she has plenty of hay
4:36 I agree like why omg Since fingers are big and hammy’s are small, your basicly really close to poking them in the eye. Hamsters are not dogs, you don’t pet them on the head
I agree with that Xmas thing! I got my hubby a chameleon for Xmas but we discussed getting a reptile for months before I just purchased additionally I told him and let him pick… I think this is better then just handing them any random reptile he didn’t choose…
if you don’t want hamster tiktoks on your fyp go to your settings and block the keyword! settings and privacy > content preferences >filter video keywords. block both the # and the word
8:25 tbf when my little buddy blackie chan left i was hoping he was still alive so i get it i was giving cpr to a dead hamster i have a new hamster now i named him clovis but nobody can replace blackie chan he was my buddy
Just like the second hamster TikTok when you explaning that some people think that hamsters are rats when I show my sister's a hamster they are like "ahhhhh a rat"😂😂
You have helped me know so much more about my hamster. He used to have a tiny weel and super small petco cage but now he has a huge cage and bedding atleast 8 inches and everything better. Unfortunately i found him dead last night.
Hey Victoria, I used to watch your videos years ago and followed you quite some time. I just rescued a Russian dwarf hamster and her (I was told it was a female but haven’t looked yet due to only getting her yesterday-so I haven’t picked it up to check the gender) and the cage it’s in looks like a travel cage almost, it’s so small. So I have a hamster again for the first time in probably 4-5 years. You said in a video “my province”, which one if you don’t mind me asking? Just curious as a fellow Canadian 🇨🇦 ❤
ive seen several of those “is my hamster dead or just hibernating” videos and sometimes it is evident the person truly doesn’t know because of all the misinformation out there :/ absolutely insane and devastating
Hi Victoria I've been watching you for 3 years and I love your videos I have 3 hamsters and 1 bunny Lexi Pixie Spotts and Daisy thank you for helping me learn more about pets. Byee
I love your videos and how you spread so much good information and help so many hamster owners. Thank you for sharing this content! :) say hello to Sadie for me :D 😂💛
I had a hamster that hated being pet or held and absolutely did not want anyone in her cage for any reason she lived a very long time and I loved her anyway and she loved my mom lot's of love from New Jersey and Ember 💖 Ember is my cockatiel
heyy, the video of when that syrian hamster was stuck under the door and the man couldnt get him out, there was like boxes on the other side so he couldnt push the hamster through but he did get the hammy out
i have a castle tiny tales cage so when i get my hamster in 2 days i will start making a bin cage so it can be happier. i did make a box with bedding so i can take it out and let it burrow when it wants to I also made a few hideouts and stuff for it.
Finally I was able to upgrade my hamster cage to a 1,50 meters terrarium, took inspiration from your diy hamester cage videos. I have one question tho. This enclosure was previously used for reptiles, how can i clean it properly and make it safe for an hamster? (it's made from wood and glass)
I've had pets gifted to me before. My dog was a Christmas gift, but I had the time to prepare before she was given to me because I was in on the whole thing as well. She's currently 6 years old and I call her my "Christmas Puppy" Alternatively, my great-grandmother gave me two budgies for Thanksgiving when I was 9 despite my Mom telling her not to and me never expressing the desire for any, and you can imagine that it did not end well at all, unfortunately. Pets as gifts should only be when the individual is also 100% into it and has the time to prepare and buy the necessary stuff required to make the animal's introduction to the family as smooth and safe as possible. 👀
@@BonBon_As Long story short, I was 11 years old and I set them outside in thier cage in the backyard under the cover of the patio in the shade while we were moving into a new house and give them some fresh air from chaos of bringing in boxes and furniture and moving vans, and either the weather was too hot for them or the overall stress was too much, I think, and they died. I was absolutely devestated and never got birds again. :(
Show a story that recently happened to me was that I ended up with my baby girl My Little hammy and it was not planned but my daughter's father bought her a hamster for Christmas and he knew nothing of how to care for the hamster so I felt terrible going over there after a week of him having it he hadn't even changed out the food or water or bedding so I was infuriated and said let me take it home though I knew nothing about how to care for this little being so I did a ton of research found you in doing so and now my little hammy has a perfect little life in his doing so well 😁❤️
Hi! I wanted to ask, my hamster sometimes randomly just freezes in the spot,I mean she’s still breathing and all,and I don’t know if that’s dangerous,should I be worried,when it happens she stays like that for a few minutes.
My 7yo son has wanted a hamster for years (I think largely because of hamster TikTok/UA-cam), but we have been renovating our house so we kept telling him no. We finally compromised and said we'd get a fish, but once we got to the pet store yesterday my wife and I caved, read the care guide they had, and bought a dwarf hamster, a habitat, and all the accessories (yes, including a ball and a bunch of tunnels).
Then we got home, found your UA-cam, and today I'm returning the habitat and most of the accessories we bought and running to Home Depot to pick up some melamine and acrylic to build a bigger, deeper habitat for Comet. And my wife is ordering all new accessories from NiteAngel and sprays from Etsy.
So our little hamster thanks you.
Nice! How's ur hamster doing now,
@yes Doing really well. Ended up using a glass reptile habitat we found on FB marketplace instead of building something, just to save a bit of money (though we cleaned and descented it thoroughly). We've started getting different materials for bedding and ordering sprays. She's super tame, so I've been picking her up without any problems for a while now but my kids are kind of just learning to handle her.

Over the summer after my freshman year of highschool Sam passed away. He was almost 4 years old at the time and I couldn't have been happier to have spent as much time with him as I did. Thank you for educating people and giving so many hamsters better lives
I'm sorry for your loss of Sam! That's amazing he got to live so long!
Great video victoria keep it on just bcause some1 doesn't like your hard work you should know that you have a special spot in my heart luv ur vudeos
I upgraded my humster from small cage to a big one same yours. Thanks God she is so happy now not stressed any more.
Tanks to all your videos that keep us educated on how to take care of our small adorable pet🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
That's amazing to hear!
First! Me and my hamster actually watched this together ❤️ (idk why he loves to sit on my chest and watch whatever I'm watching on my phone but it's so cute 😂)
I’m getting a hamster for Christmas I watch all your videos and I love them they really help
Hi i love all of your video. Thanks for all the effort you put in your video. I love your hamsters so much 💜
Thank you so much!
Your videos always cheer me up
Have you guys seen that one where the hamster went into the vents and the girl was like BILL COME BACK! And the hamster just waddled away farther. Hoping they got him back
Your tips helped me a lot and made my hamster live up to its full lifespan.😉🙂
Glad I could help!

We love Sadie in the background 😂❤
Unfortunately TikTok and UA-cam Shorts are full of Hamsters and other small animals being mistreated. I always report those kinds of videos, but I don’t think it changes what gets put in the feed. It’s especially bad on Shorts, I’ve seen some pretty traumatizing things that are going to scar me for years and UA-cam doesn’t seem to care.
the thing is social media platforms will flag or delete videos of dogs or cats being mistreated or in distress but when it comes to hamsters being mistreated, it’s deemed as “funny”
@@hi-zp8db unfortunately, people like watching animal videos, but hate learning anything about them. I often see people fight for their own ignorance against comments with information. It's as if their right to not be informed about things should have been protected above anything else, and putting their immediate feelings (of not wanting to be bothered) above animal welfare as a whole. I just don't understand it, but people have a visceral reaction against new information.
That is so true 😔
She needs to do a reaction on Hamster and Gretel. I have only watched the first few minutes of it but that’s enough to know that Disney did not do their research.
Привет ,я уже третий день смотрю твой канал, так как моя дочь хочет чтобы мы завели хомяка. Сперва я смотрела русские видео, но мне не понравилось как у нас содержат хомяков. И просто написала в поиске хомяк на английском языке и попала к тебе 😊 смотрю твои видео с автопереводом субтитров. Получила много информации по правильному содержанию хомяков. Теперь я знаю с чего начать,прежде чем приобрести питомца. Большое спасибо тебе за твой труд, ведь на самом деле на Ютубе так много плохой информации, и неверной о хомяках. Будем с мужем строить большой вольер для хомяка, чтобы он был счастлив ❤️и только потом купим хомяка. Ещё раз большое спасибо тебе ❤️
One time my Hamster got lost, because he chewed at the Ventilation holes in the Plexiglas and made a hole big enough to escape (in One Night!!!)… I’ve searched for him for a week… I have two cats and thought they killed and ate him… 8 days later I saw him eating from one of the cat bowls, while my cats shared the other one… he was fatter than before… 3 or 4 months later we had to lay the Couch on the side, because on leg was lose… and over a hundred pieces of cat Good Fell out of a tiny hole and there was a big ass Hamster nest made out of parts of the inside of the Couch…
i would do the white elephant one, with the tiny tails cage, bedding and A STUFFED ANIMAL HAMSTER insted
About that joke tiktok; impulsive thoughts don't work that way and people actually struggle with them lots, people like me. So those tiktoks are actually really harmful to people with ocd.
Hi Victoria i have been watching your videos for 2 week Thanks for making amazing videos xx
i hate hamster tiktok. whenever some isn’t caring for them properly, 90% of the time they get defensive and say they’re too broke or that the hamster is fine in the tiny tale cage. it’s so sad.
the blender thing... thats onika. she died weeks ago. its so sad
Oh no :(
That Poor Hamster which was a gift in the Tiny Tales Cage 😞I look forward to the day that Tiny Tales is a thing of the past
Me too!
Yep had a front door my hamster got out under. Found him in the communal area and rescued him before the cat upstairs got to him. My other little sod got out and got into my bedroom. Woke to him sitting on my pillow staring at me. He licked the tip of my nose, settled down and fell asleep.
These hamster tiktoks are.. Uhm. Hurting me.🐹😭 thank you, i have a Healthy hamster at home. And its all because of ur vids!!! God bless you❤
I loved watching them trash the Hamsterball.

About rigor mortis... Well tough theme but afterwards the body "softens" again. This is confusing to hamsters owners so, please , hamster owners, do your research to prevent Torpor + providing first aid while you run to the nearest vet.
oh DUH! 🤣
hey victoria! i got my 2.5 month old robo a month ago and started leaving fresh veggies in a bowl for him, but he doesn't want to eat anything (lettuce, carrot, cauliflower). he's a fan of mealworms, sunflower seeds and his usual mix though. how do i encourage him to eat his veggies??
Hi this is a great video I love all you’re videos you take great care of you’re Hamsters I have two hamsters and I have learned so much from you my two past hamsters lived in a tiny tales cage but that was when I didn’t watch your videos but overtime i stared watching all you vids and now my one hamster lives in a 2000 square feet cage and so does the other and it’s all thanks to you thank you for helping with my hamster’s care over the years
It's great you've upgraded your cages :)
The one where he blended the hamster i CANNNOTTT LOLL😭
My hamster passed recently and I just want to say thank u for everything u have taught me so I could give my hamster the best she meant a lot to me so thank you
I'm sorry for your loss ❤️
Hi! I'm from Spain! I'm working in a petshop (don't buy animals). I really enjoy your videos and I'm learning so much. Thank you. The thing is...the food... There are mixtures but I don't think they have a optimal proporcion. Do you know how to do a mixture? Thanksss !!!!
I love your reaction vids!
The poor hamsters though, I feel so bad😔
Also Sadie chilling in the backround hehe
Yay im always so happy when you post a new video
Hi Victoria! You inspired me to get my dwarf hybrid hamster, and I also might get a Syrian hamster soon! Do you think you could make a video on safe and unsafe hamster wood?
I did Year's of research before i got fluffball my rabbit she has her own xpen and her door is always open she drinks and eats from bowl's i know drinking from a water bottle can cause dehydration and she has plenty of hay
Hamsters are really great
4:36
I agree like why omg
Since fingers are big and hammy’s are small, your basicly really close to poking them in the eye. Hamsters are not dogs, you don’t pet them on the head
I agree with that Xmas thing! I got my hubby a chameleon for Xmas but we discussed getting a reptile for months before I just purchased additionally I told him and let him pick… I think this is better then just handing them any random reptile he didn’t choose…
I love seeing these!! so cute and amazing ❤😂
if you don’t want hamster tiktoks on your fyp go to your settings and block the keyword! settings and privacy > content preferences >filter video keywords. block both the # and the word
Ahh yes thank you!!
Return of the cute hamster from the attic~ cute~😅
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
8:25 tbf when my little buddy blackie chan left i was hoping he was still alive so i get it i was giving cpr to a dead hamster i have a new hamster now i named him clovis but nobody can replace blackie chan he was my buddy
I hope you had a wonderful vacation! And this video was kinda sad and entertaining at the same time!😂😭 But, anyways, thanks for the video!
Thank you! I had a great time!
Just like the second hamster TikTok when you explaning that some people think that hamsters are rats when I show my sister's a hamster they are like "ahhhhh a rat"😂😂
You have helped me know so much more about my hamster. He used to have a tiny weel and super small petco cage but now he has a huge cage and bedding atleast 8 inches and everything better. Unfortunately i found him dead last night.
Hey Victoria, I used to watch your videos years ago and followed you quite some time. I just rescued a Russian dwarf hamster and her (I was told it was a female but haven’t looked yet due to only getting her yesterday-so I haven’t picked it up to check the gender) and the cage it’s in looks like a travel cage almost, it’s so small. So I have a hamster again for the first time in probably 4-5 years. You said in a video “my province”, which one if you don’t mind me asking? Just curious as a fellow Canadian 🇨🇦 ❤
ive seen several of those “is my hamster dead or just hibernating” videos and sometimes it is evident the person truly doesn’t know because of all the misinformation out there :/ absolutely insane and devastating
Hi Victoria I've been watching you for 3 years and I love your videos I have 3 hamsters and 1 bunny Lexi Pixie Spotts and Daisy thank you for helping me learn more about pets. Byee
I think your doing a great job
I love your videos and how you spread so much good information and help so many hamster owners. Thank you for sharing this content! :) say hello to Sadie for me :D 😂💛
I had a hamster that hated being pet or held and absolutely did not want anyone in her cage for any reason she lived a very long time and I loved her anyway and she loved my mom lot's of love from New Jersey and Ember 💖 Ember is my cockatiel
Her name by the way was Precious 💕
Have a blessed day thanks for the content!❤
Thank you ❤️
@@VictoriaRaechel oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh
@@VictoriaRaechel im so glad you saw my comment!
heyy, the video of when that syrian hamster was stuck under the door and the man couldnt get him out, there was like boxes on the other side so he couldnt push the hamster through but he did get the hammy out
hi victoria! getting my hamster in a few weeks and can i ask, what brands of cork granules / beech chips are good?
It would make my year if a hamster randomly tunneled into my home and surprised me.
i have a castle tiny tales cage so when i get my hamster in 2 days i will start making a bin cage so it can be happier. i did make a box with bedding so i can take it out and let it burrow when it wants to I also made a few hideouts and stuff for it.
Finally I was able to upgrade my hamster cage to a 1,50 meters terrarium, took inspiration from your diy hamester cage videos. I have one question tho. This enclosure was previously used for reptiles, how can i clean it properly and make it safe for an hamster? (it's made from wood and glass)
Im so exited tomorrow i am starting to free roam my rabbit
When I was aware that my hamster was dead I wasnt able to look into cage for half of a day, as if she was only sleeping.
Yay new video! :D
The blender one was pretty funny 😂 The white elephant one though was upsetting to watch. How are we not past treating living creatures like toys.
Love your vids .And by the way how is mable?
Thank you for helping me see the bad in small cages and getting a better cage dwart hamster lives in a 550 square inches long cage
I've had pets gifted to me before. My dog was a Christmas gift, but I had the time to prepare before she was given to me because I was in on the whole thing as well. She's currently 6 years old and I call her my "Christmas Puppy"
Alternatively, my great-grandmother gave me two budgies for Thanksgiving when I was 9 despite my Mom telling her not to and me never expressing the desire for any, and you can imagine that it did not end well at all, unfortunately.
Pets as gifts should only be when the individual is also 100% into it and has the time to prepare and buy the necessary stuff required to make the animal's introduction to the family as smooth and safe as possible. 👀
What happened with the budgies?
@@BonBon_As Long story short, I was 11 years old and I set them outside in thier cage in the backyard under the cover of the patio in the shade while we were moving into a new house and give them some fresh air from chaos of bringing in boxes and furniture and moving vans, and either the weather was too hot for them or the overall stress was too much, I think, and they died. I was absolutely devestated and never got birds again. :(
People are so irresponsible with their pets! I’m glad you take such good care of your pets ❤
Show a story that recently happened to me was that I ended up with my baby girl My Little hammy and it was not planned but my daughter's father bought her a hamster for Christmas and he knew nothing of how to care for the hamster so I felt terrible going over there after a week of him having it he hadn't even changed out the food or water or bedding so I was infuriated and said let me take it home though I knew nothing about how to care for this little being so I did a ton of research found you in doing so and now my little hammy has a perfect little life in his doing so well 😁❤️
Aw :( Glad you were able to take it and do research so you can give it a better life ❤️
Hi! I wanted to ask, my hamster sometimes randomly just freezes in the spot,I mean she’s still breathing and all,and I don’t know if that’s dangerous,should I be worried,when it happens she stays like that for a few minutes.
That's normal :)
@@VictoriaRaechel okay thank you for responding :))
The second video you showed, I saw the end and the hamster got itself to the other side and the person opened the door and got it out safely.
