Today's video I worked super hard on and I hope you all learn something from it! Next weeks video I will have a vlog will all the animals that I think you all will enjoy! Happy Saturday! ☺️💕
Thank you so much but I have a question where can you get dried insects from in Canada also what are some good seeds mix’s and pellets to use I use the kaytee pellets and mix is that good for a hamsters and last what if I have a 40 gallon for my hamster and she is still not satisfied With her cage what else can I do to make her satisfied instead of getting her a new cage
My girlfriend is in school for veterinary technology and they have hamsters there that were up for adoption. There was one left and if he didn't get adopted, he would be euthanized. So I decided to to rescue him, and your videos are helping me learn about hamsters! Thank you!
That is very odd, usually here in my college they euthanize old lab mice to feed lizards and such, was that the case? I dont see how would it be ethic to kill animals without purpose, maybe it could be a cultural difference since we are from brazil
Problies me when CHRISTAMS ARRIVES omg ughhhhuts only october 18 WHY CARNT IT BE 23 and 24 of december as 23 im going on a hamster shopping spree and 23 um getting coco the hamster she is a girl but idk what she looks like yet cos i am going to chose jwr and i chosr the name
swear each time she said something new I just thought to myself "shizzz I bought the wrong things" now I feel bad for my hamster :( but its nice to be informed glad to have found her.
@Blossom, Crittertrails are not BIG enough. Just because fish tanks are meant for fishes doesn’t mean you have to put them in there. And plus your hamster will be bored and stressed.
I want to know who disliked this because she provided a very informative wonderful hamster care video. I personally found it super helpful and I can't wait to have one of my own!
We currently have 2 Hammies A Russian Dwarf and a Serian. Both love being handled and spoiled! Currently we have a 45 Gallon setup for each hamster and are upgrading our terrarium's to 100 gallons each 👍 Happy Hammie = Happy Life
Where can you get a 100 gal? Im sure at a local pet store but i want something big for my next hammy and most things i fond online just dont look good enough or help cause they dont show the measurements in most of them
@@autumnhayes2960 I suggested looking on Craigslist or Facebook market place!!! Ppl sell their tanks for a lot less (most of the time) then of you bought it form the store!:))
I used to have a mouse that would constantly climb up to the ceiling, hang, and fall off! I had no idea it was because she was bored...I’ll make sure to never keep a mouse in half a detolf again!
syd,, half a detolf actually doesn't sound that bad I think she was bored because you only had one. Girls need to live in at least pairs but 3 is 100% recommended and preferred.
Alana’s Mini Zoo she had been in a pair prior to that cage, but would always get in fights with my other mouse. Honestly she seemed happier by herself, so I kept her alone. Unfortunately both of my mice have passed away... I was going to attempt to pair my other mouse but she died before I got the chance :( now I have three rescues all living together.
@@aresol6487 Yes,mice should have a companion of the same sex, and mice love to climb. It's not really a sign of stress when a mouse is climbing. It's a natural instinct for them 🐁
I dont know if she already made that video, but, you can cover up any gap that they can crawl under/through like under the door, under your bed, closet gaps, under drawers, drawer gaps, etc with long pieces of cardboard. I do this with my hamster and it works really good
Omg yes this would be great I blocked off everything in my kitchen but I didn't know there was a little hole under the counter so I had to lower my hamster out with peanut butter 😂
I was so happy when my hamster started making different burrows, he has one for food/sleep and one he goes to the bathroom in and it makes cleaning him out soooo easy as I don’t have to touch his food store and upset him
Me just over here having a bit of breakdown, crying to my hamster. She’s still stressed even though I just moved to her to a 620 square inch cage, with multiple sand baths, hideouts, toys, driftwood, and lots of bedding. She’s got three different substrates, I give her mealworms, veggies, herbs, fruit and homemade treats and she’s still frustrated. It’s so hard because I know that she just wants to be a free little hamster and I don’t blame her, but I’m trying my best to give a good life, but she just wants to escape. Even when I give her free roaming time, all she’s trying to do is escape my room so she can be free and I totally understand, I would want to be too . But It honestly breaks my heart a little. I can’t even stick my hand in the cage without her trying to climb my arm to get out. I wish I could upgrade to a bigger cage but I just upgraded it and I can’t afford to go bigger right now. Ughhhh I just want her to be happy 😭
You can make bin cages. Look them up because they are a really cheap way to make MASSIVE cages. It depens on the size of the bin on how big you want to make the cage but basically you just need 2 big bins cut one side and stick them together. If you need any other help search it up or you can even ask me if you want (I'll answer with what i know). It's been two weeks since you posted this so i guess you found a solution but still pls keep me updated.
My little hammy is kind of like that too:((( where did you get her?? If you adopted her form someone else she might now have been taken care of well there and trauma might be the issue.. i think that’s why mine acts like that. But unfortunately we can talk to animals 😞
YAY my hamster has all these things except the dried herbs and sprays. She uses her sand bath as a litter box though lol. She pees in it. But she’s a happy girl. Very large cage and tons of bedding to burrow in. 😊
I went to a pet store just to see the zilla 40 gallon cage and the worker said so much Bologna and I literally was like kicking my mom trying to tell her and she was like just trying to sell stuff she’s cruel but my mom got mad at ME
Same. If feel bad for my baby hamster. I know I’m doing most things right but I still am missing a little of things on this list. DEFINITELY going to the pet store today!
After watching this video, my hamster loves her cage. She has many, many rotating toys so she won't get bored of them. Thanks for the advice to keep hamsters happy :)
Thank you for making your videos. I have always wanted a hamster but it has never been an option for me. But after watching all of your videos and doing much more research, I have finally convinced my parents to get one! Thank you so very much for what you do💞
i believe i have almost everything to keep my hamster happy! all i need is a sand bath that i’m planning on getting soon, your videos help me a bunch, love you!
*just because your cage is bare minimum doesn’t mean your hamster will be happy* PREACH GURLL PPL R ALWAYS LIKE: OH WELL BETTAS MINIMUM IS 2.5 gallon SO LETS ALL DO THAT. NUHH lets all do at least 950 gallon :)
@@daxfrl No they will not. Bettas in the wild live in massive rice fields. My Betta loves her 16 gallon and I'm sure she'd love a bigger tank even more. I believe 5 is the minimum, 2.5 is simply too small for anything besides shrimp and snails. Why would you want to keep a living creature in such a small home?
@@kirin1230 my veiltail betta Pisces lives in a 10 gallon with a heater, filter, plenty of fake plants, and one real one, with a good sized cave. Is that good or is there something I need to add? (I also have gravel ofc)
Thank you so much! I am planning on buying a hamster, and i was going to put it in a critter trail, then i watched this video, now im getting a 55 gal tank for my hamster.
Thank you for the advice!!! Me and my parents are considering getting me a hamster after Christmas or later. I'm sending like a million of your videos to them.
My gf has two hamsters and i found your vids through her. I wish i could have an hamster but being a soldier kills those chances. They are so cute and sweet i want to love them all. Im learning so much about them and this vid was very informative. Thank you.
Not missing much mate, they are insanely hard to keep happy, ours has everything it could possibly want, 2 inclosures, one just for burrowing. I feel like some people just don't care if their pet is happy or not, for me hamsters nearly always just want to escape constantly, this feels more like a animal hostage than a loving pet companion and it constantly makes me feel bad, I'm never gonna get another and advise people to also not get pet hamsters, some animals just don't cope well in captivity, there's little guys are one of them.
I am getting a hamster soon and I have been binge watching your videos for about a week for advice, so thank you for everything you do! You really help me!
Im watching a hamster for two weeks for some friends and your videos have been incredibly helpful. I realize the cave she has is too small, but i've been trying to keep her entertained by making toys with food in them, hiding food and increasing the amount of bedding. She seems fairly happy (Doesnt display any of the stressed characteristics you describe). They really are adorable little critters and I might get one for myself :)
This helped me a lot I have no idea that he didn’t get enough sleep because he was awake today and I went to go pick him up and he bit me but I’m OK so I picked him up again and put them in his house for him then he went to sleep I felt so bad Well also he lived in a horrible place when I got home three days ago because it was nothing but a bunch of noise he lives with other hamsters and there’s a bunch of birds chirping and I was so loud so I don’t expect for him to not bite
I’m getting another hamster today and I just wanna say thank you for all the help you’ve done to make sure your and other peoples hamsters are happy my syrian is quite happy in his enclosure and I hope that my robo will be just as happy!
Most herbs are super easy to grow and dry! Many wild flowers and plants are very good but make sure you do proper research as to not get plants mixed up!!
I finally had some time to sit and watch this today, and just want to say you did an excellent job with this video! :) You've always been so good at putting together the informational type of videos. The pictures and videos were all good choices to go along with what you were talking about, and I think this topic will be so helpful to a lot of hamster owners! Well done! 💯 😄
Thank you for this video. Misinformation online about hamster care is astonishing. A website suggested only keeping a hamster wheel in the cage for a couple hours to prevent over exercising. Like wait what?! Where do people come up with this stuff? 😩
Domino doesn't seem to be interested in the wild flower things, I brought her some and sprinkled it around, she never ate it. Oh well, she loves to burrow though 🥰 Thank you for your time and knowledge making this video, can't wait for the next 😁
My Syrian and my robo dwarf both got cage upgrades a few days ago and are both doing amazing!! They're both in large bin cages now, which look super cool thanks to blue and purple carefresh! My Syrian was previously in a rat cage but all she was doing was biting the bars and climbing to the top and falling off from the top even though she had tons of chew toys and enrichment :( and the cage was $150 😭 such a rip off, as the new bins from Walmart were only $20 each! There's enough room in the cages for both a wheel and a saucer and tons of tubes and bendy bridges and toys! Me and the hammies are super happy!
Thanks for taking such care of our little friends..I've looked after hamsters for 20yrs ever since my daughter bought one and got bored..they quite literally have two huge rooms to run freely in and jump onto my shoulder to get a ride around the house as I do my work (I'm a musician so expected to be eccentric)...I believe they should be as free as is possible (taking great care not to tread on them)..but if they are caged then these videos are seriously v informative and done with great love and care for the little characters...good work!!
I feel lucky my hamster seems to get enrichment from interaction with me and my company. I get up at 5.30 every day so I can get her out for 1-1.5hrs every morning before work. I don't often see her in the evening as she loves to sleep in! Thank you for this advice. I switched Betsy's bedding to carefresh paper bedding and she is so much happier and creates lots of burrows now!
I just realized that I’ve been taking terrible care for my hamsters. Now I feel really bad :( I’ve been doing a couple hours of research but I can’t wait any longer to get my hamster what she deserves.
The sad thing is that these videos didn’t come up when I was at your channel, so I didn’t know that, my serian hamster monkey baring and my robokski hamster jumping and running very fast amongst the cage was Boredom so I that it was cute and funny. But now I know!
I have two Campbells dwarf hamsters and I got them when they were babies- they are both girls and get along great! they never fight and always cuddle together when sleeping
@@sienna_1596 No, atleast once a week or 2. It depends what kind of bedding, bc (i forgot the name) i know a brand with really good bedding and u can change it once a month
Thank you sooo much!! My hammy was in a really small cage of 380 sq inches of floor space but then I saw your videos and I realized I was doing it all wrong. She is now in a natural themed cage in the ikea detolf. Ur sooo helpful and I would still be doing improper hamster care if it wasn’t for you
I have a guinea pig cage for my hamster (it's really big) so that's a ✔ My hamster loves humans so that's a ✔ My hamster doesn't climb on bars (BCS I don't have any bars) and it doesn't try to eat bars either so that's a ✔ I have 11 inches of bedding in my cage so that's a ✔ I do usually hide food around the cage sometimes so that's a ✔ I do give my hamster Dandelion leaves so that is also a ✔ I don't have sprays but I will buy some now that I see this video! So that's a ❌ I have 3 sand baths for my hamster, 1 that they dig chambers to find, 1 out in the open, 1 also out in the open so that's a ✔ I give my hamsters seeds and vegetables so that is a ✔ MY HAMSTERS HAPPY!♥
I really wish I had access to this kind of information when I got my first hamster (16 years ago). It’s sad looking back & finding out I didn’t take proper care of my hamsters. I blame myself, my parents & the pet store for purchasing an animal with such little information. I’m so glad there’s information so no one else will put another hamster through hell in their very short life span. Thank you for providing much needed info for pet owners ❤
Victoria Raechel I (being only 12) cannot afford to get enough bedding for my hamster and my parents said I am lucky enough to have a big cage made for me and to stop asking for too much ): I understand that bedding can be expensive but is there any solutions? I try homemade bedding but I often need my mum to help and she is quite busy.
Today's video I worked super hard on and I hope you all learn something from it! Next weeks video I will have a vlog will all the animals that I think you all will enjoy! Happy Saturday! ☺️💕

She or he will be welcomed gloriously to your home
The people who disliked it don’t want to admit to themselves that hamsters aren’t “easy” or “disposable” pets that need lots of space.
People that dislike was probably because they think they know everything even thought they are probably wrong

She seems fairly happy (Doesnt display any of the stressed characteristics you describe). They really are adorable little critters and I might get one for myself :)
I came here bcz I bought an entire family of 5 hamsters syberian and boy this vid was helpful and so far everything is good
victoria: how to have a happy hamster:
what i expected: have the right care
Give them..... enrichment? Ok.
*gives Bonny some math homerwork.
Bonny it's my enrichment 11-3
I am so glad you said not to use dust!
This helped me a lot I have no idea that he didn’t get enough sleep because he was awake today and I went to go pick him up and he bit me but I’m OK so I picked him up again and put them in his house for him then he went to sleep I felt so bad Well also he lived in a horrible place when I got home three days ago because it was nothing but a bunch of noise he lives with other hamsters and there’s a bunch of birds chirping and I was so loud so I don’t expect for him to not bite
Don't keep him with other hamsters please
Jessica West trust me I have him still I don’t want babies and I know it’s not good
My cousin just got her first hamster and got the ikea detolf for the cage ❤️
The hamster photo before clicking the video is so freaking ADORABLE 🥰
Thanks for the advice! Great video as always, Victoria!
Thank you!
Thank this will help me a lot!!
I’m getting another hamster today and I just wanna say thank you for all the help you’ve done to make sure your and other peoples hamsters are happy my syrian is quite happy in his enclosure and I hope that my robo will be just as happy!
Most herbs are super easy to grow and dry! Many wild flowers and plants are very good but make sure you do proper research as to not get plants mixed up!!
I finally had some time to sit and watch this today, and just want to say you did an excellent job with this video! :) You've always been so good at putting together the informational type of videos. The pictures and videos were all good choices to go along with what you were talking about, and I think this topic will be so helpful to a lot of hamster owners! Well done! 💯 😄
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video. Misinformation online about hamster care is astonishing. A website suggested only keeping a hamster wheel in the cage for a couple hours to prevent over exercising. Like wait what?! Where do people come up with this stuff? 😩
Domino doesn't seem to be interested in the wild flower things, I brought her some and sprinkled it around, she never ate it.
Oh well, she loves to burrow though 🥰
Thank you for your time and knowledge making this video, can't wait for the next 😁
OMG I learned so much thank you my hamster says thank you too
I'm getting a hamster (I think) and your vids are helping me learn about hamsters!!! Thank you!!
Glad they could help!
I have little hamster block puzzle and little treat puzzles for my hamster, but I'm always looking for more idea's to keep her entertained.
I really thought the title said how to BE a happy hamster 🤣
I just bought a big cage for my hamster😊 I will take very good care of her
My Syrian and my robo dwarf both got cage upgrades a few days ago and are both doing amazing!! They're both in large bin cages now, which look super cool thanks to blue and purple carefresh! My Syrian was previously in a rat cage but all she was doing was biting the bars and climbing to the top and falling off from the top even though she had tons of chew toys and enrichment :( and the cage was $150 😭 such a rip off, as the new bins from Walmart were only $20 each! There's enough room in the cages for both a wheel and a saucer and tons of tubes and bendy bridges and toys! Me and the hammies are super happy!
That's great!! 💕
If I had the power to make all the hamsters in the world (or at least everyone I come across) happy and safe I would.
Thanks for taking such care of our little friends..I've looked after hamsters for 20yrs ever since my daughter bought one and got bored..they quite literally have two huge rooms to run freely in and jump onto my shoulder to get a ride around the house as I do my work (I'm a musician so expected to be eccentric)...I believe they should be as free as is possible (taking great care not to tread on them)..but if they are caged then these videos are seriously v informative and done with great love and care for the little characters...good work!!
I feel lucky my hamster seems to get enrichment from interaction with me and my company. I get up at 5.30 every day so I can get her out for 1-1.5hrs every morning before work. I don't often see her in the evening as she loves to sleep in! Thank you for this advice. I switched Betsy's bedding to carefresh paper bedding and she is so much happier and creates lots of burrows now!
This video is great! I have never had a Syrian before and, I just got one! I will definitely use these tips!
i just got myself a hamster yesterday when i saw your channel i was amazed and these tips made my hamster feel more comfortable!
I just realized that I’ve been taking terrible care for my hamsters. Now I feel really bad :(
I’ve been doing a couple hours of research but I can’t wait any longer to get my hamster what she deserves.
I made sure I ticked all of these on my list 😀
Tatar’s tot is the cutest little hamster
Awesome Ness new sub
0:56 that poor hamster! i can only imagine what he's/she's been through :( i feel so bad
Love your videos
Thank you!
I love your videos you so calm when you talk 😁
Thank you!
Cute. My rabbit is having bad gas pian I am giving some baby gas drops so hopefully he will be okay he is drinking but not eating
Thank you, I would really recommend seeing a vet just in case.
@@VictoriaRaechel yes I am going tomorrow
The sad thing is that these videos didn’t come up when I was at your channel, so I didn’t know that, my serian hamster monkey baring and my robokski hamster jumping and running very fast amongst the cage was Boredom so I that it was cute and funny. But now I know!
Same i thought it was cute and funny but now ik
@@lavish_nk2465 We learn somthing new everyday
I’m getting a hamster tomorrow and I’m REALY exited! I got a 40 gallon tank and I hope he loves it!
For some reason you remind me of Anna McNulty
Amazing!
I have two Campbells dwarf hamsters and I got them when they were babies- they are both girls and get along great! they never fight and always cuddle together when sleeping
Wow this really really helped. My brothers hamster is starting to chew on his cage
My hamster only sleeps in her burrow, is that normal? Tho sometimes she likes to redo her home-
Sleeping in a burrow is perfectly natural and should be encouraged
snail house thank you✨
I'm so glad I finally got the check list done. I hope my baby will live his best life!!!!
When i want to do something i'm always too lazy like clean my hamsters cage.
Same
You’re supposed to clean their cage once a month on average, you are doing that, right?
@@sienna_1596 No, atleast once a week or 2. It depends what kind of bedding, bc (i forgot the name) i know a brand with really good bedding and u can change it once a month
Michel_x if you are changing your hamsters bedding once every 1/2 weeks you can stress the hamster out
@Mackinsey Zemter Same
Thank you so much for telling me this! Because you my hamster will be happy.

Thank you sooo much!! My hammy was in a really small cage of 380 sq inches of floor space but then I saw your videos and I realized I was doing it all wrong. She is now in a natural themed cage in the ikea detolf. Ur sooo helpful and I would still be doing improper hamster care if it wasn’t for you

MY HAMSTERS HAPPY!♥
All Animals Welcome you got a great hamster👍🏻
My hamster really doesn't burrow she pushes all the bedding to one side and chills on the shallow side
And the bedding's deep enough?
I really wish I had access to this kind of information when I got my first hamster (16 years ago). It’s sad looking back & finding out I didn’t take proper care of my hamsters. I blame myself, my parents & the pet store for purchasing an animal with such little information. I’m so glad there’s information so no one else will put another hamster through hell in their very short life span. Thank you for providing much needed info for pet owners ❤
I love you ❤️ would I be able to put 6inches of bedding in one corner in the cage? 🐹
Thank you! I would try for a section rather than just a corner!
Victoria Raechel ok 👌 I will fix that rn
Victoria Raechel I (being only 12) cannot afford to get enough bedding for my hamster and my parents said I am lucky enough to have a big cage made for me and to stop asking for too much ): I understand that bedding can be expensive but is there any solutions? I try homemade bedding but I often need my mum to help and she is quite busy.
@@krazykoala7329 Thing is if you have a large cage using a ton of bedding barely gets wasted since it really ever has to be cleaned out full.
Victoria Raechel True, I will try explaining that to them. Thanks again for the help! Xx
My hamster really hates dried mealworms. Could I offer him fresh? (Making sure the head is crushed first tho)
Yes, you can try that! You can also try dried crickets!
You're helping me learn so much about taking care of my boy
Why did my hamster move his nest right under his wheel in his cage?
Some hamster want to sleep different places my hamster does it it'll be okay :)
I just got a hamster her name is lily her favorite spot is in the corner next to the wheel
Mine does that too
