Right? That will also help with people becoming accustomed to bigger cages that are actually suitable for hamsters. I feel like the colours and crazy tubes make people feel like tiny cages are acceptable.
@@arevv9441 if they stopped selling small cages, there wouldn't be any problem since they would only sell large cages. If the owner can't get a large cage they wouldn't be able to buy a hamster in the first place
@@arevv9441 in the UK you can get a cage called the Alaska for 31 pounds and it's 83cm x 50 I think and it's huge for a cheap price or bin cages are cheap and big size
I feel so sad for the rabbits I've had rabbits for over 11 year and currently have a 10 year old and just it breaks my heart to see rabbits being kept like that
I had a rabbit from when I was 12 until I was 22 when my foster sister killed him. I can't imagine just keeping a bun in an unenriched tiny cage like that. Mine free-ranged the spare room whenever I was home and his cage was about 3x the size of the ones in the video for when i wasn't at home (I always was at home except when I was at school)
I've had rabbit's since I was born never not had them also rescued some and that rabbit was weak and mabey slightly sick from the improper care given for it most likely also had ingrown teeth as well there should be 0roper caet for every single animal In a person's care
Poor diet, needs veggies, friut, small pellets unless it's a baby, hays is needed. Bedding needed, enrivement with toys, water as well. The rabbits are high intelligence and needs more space than just a cage.
@@thedoodlingwonderwolfm354 agreed, a pen if you can't free roam. They need to binki, they get build up of energy. They need to stretch. Cage is not suitable for a good quality of life
@@anastialagarez3148 yeah totally agree my Bunnies have a big pen and soon I'm going to build a massive pen unfortunately I can't free roam because I have 4 unbonded rabbits
The first rabbit you showed does in fact look like he/she could be having an onset of GI Stasis. The rabbit is sitting in a hunched position and has its neck craned out which is a sign of pain/discomfort. I am a bun mom of 4 free roaming rabbits and it's so incredibly sad seeing how they are sometimes neglected the way they are. Rabbits are a TON of work to care for, and people don't seem to do much research before getting one. It is so worth the work and money to have bunnies though in my opinion.
Whenever I walk my giant purebred GSD the first question I get asked 99% of the time: “Is he papered for breeding?” 1) no, he’s not. 2) he’s actually a spayed female.
I saw a very sad guinea pig ad a few weeks ago. There was two guinea pigs in a tiny barred cage, that was under 450 square inches... A guinea pig cage that was smaller than the minimum for hamsters. And the cage was outside, and visibly dirty. This was in Norway, which is a country that’s way to cold to house guinea pigs outside in. They lived on a shallow layer of soil, and there was no hay. Not even grass, or pellets. There were no toys, hides, chews or any kinds of enrichment. The only other things in the cage was a pile of acorns/oaknuts. I don’t know if they are toxic for guinea pigs, but they are deadly to horses, so I doubt they’re good. I really hope they got to a good home.
It is. It's combined with honey so an animal wouldn't know to spit it out, rabbits shouldn't have honey. It also has seeds in the middle, and rabbits should not be fed seeds or nuts, they are not hamsters.
10:53 yes, the rabbit does look quite off. He looks uncomfortable. I have had 3 rabbits in the last 4-5 years, I still have 2. But he looks sad, and uncomfortable.
My favorite on Facebook marketplace was "searching for a free puppy, kids really want a puppy but cant afford one." Excuse me? What about the vet? Food? Toys? 🤔
rabbit quartet lettuce like green leaf, red leaf, and romaine are best for rabbits! Herbs like cilantro and dark greens like kale shouldn’t be fed as much! :)
@@missnicolearie9266 that's totally totally false. Actually lettuce has no nutrients it's literally just water. They need collared greens kale and herbs are a massive part of a rabbit died and forage
The cage is also sadly too small for a rabbit unless it has a permanent x pen attached too it even for at night it's too small as they are most active at night so need a good space to run :)
So your saying that just because my dog isn't fixed(even though shes never been bred) I'm "ignorant" and "selfish"..... I believe your the ignorant one.
sarasthoughts My current dog is spayed, because I believed it was the responsible thing to do, and she has had SO many health issues since then. She was three years old when she was spayed and had never had any major issues before. Within a month of spaying she was already showing negative signs. I don’t have a problem if you spay/neuter your pets, but I personally will never spay or neuter another one of my dogs unless they absolutely require it for health reasons. As long as the owners are responsible and make sure there is no breeding happening, I don’t see any issues with keeping your pets intact. I don’t know why there’s so much hate towards those who keep their pets intact, but are responsible about it.
@@adriannam520 EVERY dog is healthier because of spaying and neutering. It saves them from hysterical pregnancies, cancer, hormonal disbalances, many many more illnesses, and is a step forward to avoid having more strays. Just because you had some problems once it doesn't mean it's a bad procedure, cause it's not. Keeping your pects untact IS A PROBLEM.
@@farmlife-od1hg yes it is. ANY respectable veterinarian will say so. There are dozens of health issues you are exposing your pet to, including multiple types of cancer.
sarasthoughts sarasthoughts A lot of those are actually commonly believed myths. Spaying or neutering obviously takes away the chance of cancer in the parts of the dog’s body that are no longer there, but it often increases the chances of other forms of cancer, such as bladder or bone cancer. Not only that, it also increases the chances of hip dysphasia, diabetes, and obesity, just to name a few things. I advise you to do a little more research on the benefits of keeping your dog intact before bashing others for choosing not to spay or neuter.
One thing I hear people say to justify their care is they say: "Hey I'm caring for them better then the/a petshop did/would" THATS NTO A EXCUSE TO ABUSE ANIMALS! AGH!
I completely agree about the rabbit. I'm not positive what's wrong with it but definitely has some sort of deficiency for sure. Probably due to diet but I can't honestly say, but yes Munchie your animal instincts are right. 😉 Love this version for the CL Ads!!! Keep up the great and amazing work Munchie!!! Thank you for sharing as always.
The free puppies made me so sad! I have been preparing to get my next service dog prospect for a year as Chopper is now 6 years old and will be at retirement age in a few years and it takes 2 to 3 years to train a service dog but I have been holding off until fincinally more stable to care for 2 dogs as Chopper will retire as my pet or at home only service dog. Have been waiting a year and preparing for a year and still have yet to look at dogs/puppies. That's the responsible thing to do. I'm not just gonna go and get a dog because *I* need a service dog. I am going to wait until I know I can house and care for 2 dogs alone. ETA: Also, as a pitbull handler, I know very well that those Rottie puppies will either become fighting dogs or bait dogs for a fighting ring. So sad!
I'm getting a new service dog soon too. My American pit bull terrier washed out. And these poor puppies, you are likely right. Those puppies aren't gonna go good places most likely
I’m currently looking for my next service dog but I’m going for a smaller breed because they fit my lifestyle, can do all the tasks I need and I need lightweight DPT
I really like your attitude. I've read about a lot of rescues that are quick to flat reject people, and aren't willing to work with them. While some people will lose interest the second you start suggesting better care, there might be plenty of people who are willing to give the correct care if they are just given the proper information.
Hi! Your one of my favorite UA-camrs because you educate people on proper hamster care which makes a huge difference in the way hamsters are treated. Keep up the great work!❤
After 1 year of having my hammy babies which I love to death my parents are finally letting me get 2 very very nice cages that I found for sale im very happy that now my babies will be getting good cages and care❤️❤️
@@ascoadia282 I'm 24 years old and since I still live with my family (cultural customs) and can make my own cages, I still had to ask to upgrade my hamster's cage and they actually told me no multiple times. I basically just ended up going behind their back and bought a huge bin and made the new enclosure. They were annoyed at first but ended up accepting. It's so frustrating but that's how I get my pets good enclosures. See with my budgie. My parents wanted to buy a cheap small cage. I told them that it was what I'm going to be buying but ended up with a big flight cage. They lost their minds but again ended up conceding. Some parents really don't understand that animals need respect and good care
If only it were that easy for me to get "spayed" as a female human. Like Munchie said, it prevents cancer, lessens stress and complications, and for those who wish to remain childfree, it practically eliminates the possibility of having kids. It's the 21st century, I should be able to get sterilized if I choose to do so.
Rabbits should NEVER be kept in a cage. At minimum, they should be kept in a large X-pen and let out several times a day. They hardly even need pellets, let alone a whole bowl of them. They should have fresh dark, leafy greens and LOTS of hay. Love you Munchie and keep up doing what you're doing! ♥️🐰
I think I got my hamster from a breeding mil when I was 6 or 7. The container the hams were in had no hides, or anything for enrichment. Thinking about it now is quite sad.
If there was hay in there would they not accidentally eat the paper? I don't have rabbits but I have Guinea pigs and I can't use shredded paper with them for that reason. Just wondering :)
Whenever I nicely inform the ppl of tiktok that something in their hamsters care is incorrect and often that person deletes my comment Nd other call me out for hate
A while back there was a listing for three guinea pigs where their cage was a kiddy pool with bedding, a food bowl, a hide, and a little fence around it
The rabbit one is sad. Rabbits should never ever live in a cage idk why they even sell cages for rabbits they should either live in a large pen (indoor or outdoor as long as you make sure it’s safe) or they should be free roam or have a room to themselves. Cages are not necessary
For the rabbit care advice, I definitely think you’re accurate. One thing I would’ve included, is that both of these cages are way too small. Generally, people recommend the length of their body times two for the length and width of the cage, and for the height to be high enough for them to fully stretch and stand without hitting the ceiling. However, I always recommend a large, four by four, ex-pen at the very least. In whatever cage you have for your rabbit, they need at the very least, four hours of playtime outside the cage. I personally think that all rabbits should get a room to themselves, or free roam. Free roaming is by far the best and most beneficial housing situation for a rabbit. It helps your relationship with your rabbit, as well as the rabbit having much more space than many others. Fixing is also VERY IMPORTANT. It is absolutely necessary for bonding, health, and its relationship with every thing it meets. The adoption fee is the money you paid to fix the rabbit. It is incredibly dangerous to sell, or rehome, rabbits anywhere but an actual rescue. It’s just so dangerous. Even actual rescues get those people who just want a decoration, or a play toy for children, or just a throw away pet. Anyone who’s done research on rabbit adoption and rescue knows to adoption from a (only) rabbit rescue. If you want to know more about rabbit care, I suggest looking up 101Rabbits and Lennon The Bunny, they have GREAT information, and some helpful tips. I do think you have enough knowledge to recognize bad care though, but I think more research could help with more tips for the people in the ads and people outside of them.
ShadowDeath Angel just keep swimming it does work eventually even though it may not feel like it the key is to make sure they can do a full 360 degree turn in there litter box and then stuff it full of hay 😁
I would also reccomend getting her spayed as it would help greatly. Although it is possible to litter train without getting them fixed, my boy isnt neutered and basically litter trained himself in a few days.
I found the most frustrating ad a couple of days ago. Person was selling her two dwarf hamsters, one male and one female. The female was sold with a small pink cage, accessories, food, colored bedding, wheel, toys, etc. The cage was under the minimum sadly, but not the absolute worst ones out there. The male however, was sold in a tiny plastic box. The only things he had were a tiny layer of natural bedding, and a chew block. He didn’t even have food. I’m actually kinda speechless.
Omg that rabbit was sooo freaking adorable but the care 😫 I rescued my rabbit from Craigslist from a breeder and I know you are not supposed to but I couldn’t leave him I wanted his siblings to this breeder literally had rabbits in bin cages to small for a hamster soooo yeah I wasn’t leaving my Leo there And man has lei been expensive lol he has cost me over 2,000 dollars more than both of my other buns combined but I absolutely adore him 😁 Do your research for any pet people they have feelings to !!!!
6:51 does anybody know what breed these hamsters are? My hamster looks exactly like the hamsters in picture and I wanna know what breed because the people I got it from didn’t tell me
My hammie just got upgraded to the ikea detolf cage (he already had a fairly big cage (about 2/3rds of this) but why not make it even bigger for him!!) and he doesn’t know what to do with himself lol!
Training for tricks? I've thought of it but it's not something I want to do as my time is very divided by taking care of all of these animals. But I know of a few people who have trained their hammys.
I made my own rabbits cage, theres space to burrow and stay in when it's hot, and it's very spacious. They get a nice view of the garden, it's shaded, etc.
15:17 I STRONGLY agree with this. I have a personal story on this subject, actually. While I was staying at my mother's boyfriend's house, his friends dog was still there after the friend and ex wife (ex wife to mother's boyfriend; wife to boyfriend's friend) left. When I met Beatrice (the dog), she was in extreme poor care. She was tied up to the tree on a small rope, her nails were ridiculously long, and my hand would be caked in dirt after one small stroke. She is 4 years old and a mother of 4 litters. I think the original owners were running a puppy mill. We were infuriated when we found out about this, since you can go get your dog spayed/neutered very cheap, depending on where you go. My mother told me to consider taking her in, and my dad agreed. She is now doing amazing in our care. I saw how much she thrived when we got her spayed. I'm so glad we took her in, because it also turned out she had Heartworms. Thankfully, she was in a very early stage of it. Sometime in the next 3 months, she should be Heartworm free :).
My hamster was a rescue and he was in a tiny critter trail with the wheel that came with it and the poor syrian guy was running ONTOP of the wheel with 2 or 3 feet while hanging on the to bars
i saw a photo on a hamster group im in on facebook and their hamsters habitat was outside in a small enclosure and there was no wheel and it looked really dirty
I haven't gotten to watch yet but I wish I knew you were doing a fan edition! I was actually trying to find your email the other day because I have 3 or 4 bad ones
I don't want people sending them to me all the time but I asked for submissions on Twitter in January and on the community tab on YT, so please send them when I ask. I also don't want people contacting me via email as the only email I have is not for UA-cam. Thank you.
@@MunchiesPlace I must have missed it then(and wow you really have been sitting on this lol). I get it I wouldnt want them all the time either. And I can get that too! I figured thats why you didnt have one listed somewhere
Hi Munchie (and/or everyone else). I know this isn’t related to this video but it’s just something that’s been making me worry about it a lot lately. So school just started for me and my science this year is living environment. Basically biology with a bit of environmental science sprinkled in. These first few days we’ve been going over the safety procedures and I realized that we’re going to be handling live animals in some of our experiments. I already felt like this was something that I didn’t wanna do but they also played a video about these safety procedures. At one point they showed 3 mice or rats in a little carrier cage type of cage and they were all looking at the lid as if they wanted to get out of the cage. I don’t want to do the experiments with living animals but by my state law I have to or else I won’t be able to pass the class. I just think it’s wrong that we’re doing this to animals. 🐭💙💖
Hackie Puffs I’m really sorry you have to do that. I’m vegan so doing any science lab assignments with animals makes me really uncomfortable too. I would talk to the teacher and see if they’ll let you do an alternative assignment instead. You could say it’s for religious reasons and they would likely just make you do something else for the points. I would also consider making a petition or writing a letter to the district or whoever is forcing teachers to do experiments with live animals so they can end this requirement
With that bun bun the cage is way to small thay need a pin not a cage. You can also free roam a bunny (you will need a litter box) I fill sad for that bunny 😭
@@XylophoneZedbra its only for outdoor rabbits. People have been doing this for a long time with little or no sores on their hocks. I do not currently breed due to not having a set up but do not say its not oay without knowing the set up or proper care for outdoor rabbits.
@@huntervinson8713 Same goes for you. Do not say I don't know proper set ups or know proper care when I have studied and owned (and own now) animals including rabbits who are in fact laying on my soft comfy bed right now :)
I think the point here is that even if your buns didn't have bacterial infections, avoiding abrasive surfaces, unclean areas and moisture are the reasons for bacterial infections to pop up in the first place. Due to how many breeders there are of rabbits around my area, i've seen breeders who do not keep their areas clean so there is a big stigma of conditions of these rabbits and the wire flooring is seen in cages that do not provide room to roam and hop and are usually up high above the ground. Bumblefoot i see more often with hamsters than rabbits and i'm sure that's what most of my fans usually see is me mention this about them, but the goal is to create the best environment for a companion animal that meets their needs and that's why i feel like others, that wire flooring or mesh flooring needs to go away and many are advocating for change. Just because it's been going on for many decades, doesn't mean it's right. We can say that about a lot of our lifes problems that use to be seen as normal to society. I don't wanna get political but i think you know what i'm getting at. But wire is not needed for buns who frolic and hop and don't live above ground in the air on wire cages.
10:51 I am a rabbit owner and I can verify this is in-propper care. First, rabbit's shouldn't be caged at all but if they are it has to be so much bigger than this. Pellets (the rabbit's only food option) are luke junk food for rabbit's and it's really bad. They NEEED hay, as you stated. They have very weak guts and use hay to keep there entire system running and helps force out poop. And another very important part of a bunnys diet is the veggies. They NEED something luke lettuce daily. Along with an ocaisial bannana or something. The best home you can put a rabbit in is by potty training then free roaming your rabbit in a room and/or the house. 💗
Hi , you have inspired me to become a future animal rescuer and open up my own rescue centre. I’m currently designing my own cages that are the correct sizes not just for hammys and gerbils. But also chinchillas and other exotic animals. You are such a major inspiration for me, I love you and your work so so much 😍❤️❤️
The bun diet you mentioned is perfect for them! Buns shouldn't be kept in cages at all in my opinion, but an indoor pen/room that is bunny proofed is a very good way to keep them in one place and so they dont chew/poop on or in your stuff. My two bunnies have a shared area currently of about 10 sq feet but am going to expand withing the month as we are moving. Each bun should have about 4 sq feet minimum and lots of toys and/or a friend as they're social animals. That first bunny looked just extremely sad as the space was only about twice as big as the litterbox should be and looked to be overweight from a pellet only diet. I couldn't see its coat and I dont know its breed and what they should look like but other than the weight he looked okay. Just so so sad :(
With the UK cage, I’m in the UK and I use to have that cage for my gerbils (yes, far too small everyone makes mistakes) but I believe that cage is the bigger version of it, not sure how many square inches though
Hi please reply your the best hamster UA-camr I know I love you and your great on giving opinions about hamsters and hamster stuff and hamster ads your the best 😊😊😊
Can you do a video about property husbandry for gerbils? I have owned hamsters and have a good understanding of their care but I think gerbils are adorable and I am growing more interested in them.
My grandparents have bunnies and i am helping the one become less scared. I go over once or twice a week. The bunny has come a long way and is now laying on my lap comfortably.
Unfortunately, Petathome (the UK version of Petco) is stocking those really small toy looking cages too from Ferplast to appeal to kids. I wish they would stop making small cages look like toys or desktop accessories. If you want to keep something in a small cage that is shaped like a circus tent then keep a pet rock.
Anyone else want to take in so many of those animals but doesn’t know too much or has too many animals already? They will find the live that they deserve 💖💖💖
When I got my mouse he frequently sneezed, but I never knew why because he had paper bedding, ventilation was fine, his nose was clear and things weren't dusty that I could see. The only thing that made me think twice about it was his food. Even when I got rid of the bedding and cleaned the cage he still sneezed, so I started to think his food was causing his sneezing. So once I switched over to Sunburst from Kaytee his sneezing stopped. But that rabbit doesn't look like it's the healthiest it could be.
So rabbit. Way too small a cage, unless it has a 'play pen' and an open door which I doubt they have. I have not and will never use paper bedding because they do tend to chew on it when they are stressed. Hay is required, preferably Timothy or Alfalfa. Hay pellets can be offered as well, but they need just straight hay for several reasons (Diet, digestion, Teeth, ect). Is is also recommended feeding fresh veggies daily, which can be supplemented with pellets to make sure they get all their nutrients. Several different types of chews to help enrich and keep teeth trimmed. Daily handling and playing when it is a solitary rabbit as they are rather social. You can get a custom made rabbit wheel (Most brands don't make them big enough) but they normally don't like them so you need a pen or run for them to get their exercise. Litter trays both in the cage and in the pen or run cleaned daily. And regular nail trimming as like their teeth, their nails never stop growing and in captivity they don't get the chance to dig like in the wild which would naturally trim their nails. And that rabbit is rather far from healthy. Sitting like that and still able to make out the body from the legs means it is either underweight, or the coat is much thinner than it should be or both. Which ties into poor diet. Looking around the edge of the eye, you can see where it is a crusty pink, which is a sign of an infection normally caused by a poorly maintained cage or improper bedding causing irritation. As for the size, it looks like a mutt so there is no telling if it's normal or not without seeing the parents. My guess is it's a few months old and undersized from poor diet.
do dwarfs need dust baths? my bf got one for his russian dwarf because he was worried about her cleaning herself but now i am worried because of what munchie said about the first ad
Dust baths cause respiratory issues so most people use sand baths instead. You can put regular play sand on a tray in the oven for a bit then it's ready for the cage, or you can buy reptile sand
For the whole length of the video I was cuddling with my rat boy Erik. He will snuggle up on my lap or hand every night during free roaming and just enjoy being pet for a looong time. I got him and his brother Nines from the German version of craigslist, they are from an accidental litter, their mom was a pregnant pet store rat. Nobody wanted him because he is a standard agouti boy, but he is the cuddliest of all of my rats. Adopting animals is so worth it, even if they come from bad homes or might have genetic issues because their parents are pet store animals or feeders, they have so much love to give. Sorry for the long post, guess I was just overwhelmed by how much I love my furry little grandpas.
Being a first time owner of a hamster isn’t an excuse for any bad hamster care. I currently own my FIRST hamster which is a winter white hamster that I adopted from petsmart a week ago. He lives in a 55 gallon aquarium he is doing amazing yes I will be upgrading very soon. Hamster care channels including this one, educated me about hamies and I feel so great knowing I saved this baby boys life, because I initially was going to buy a hamster instead of adopting.Sadly I did do my research on the internet to see those who do search and found so many misleading information and it sucks that pet stores or just pet companies are making lots of products that are so horrible for pets including hamsters... but I’m so thankful that there’s people like you and this community. I named my hamster munchie cuddles❤️ adopting him was the best decision.. thank you 🙏 #adoptdontshop
When you were talking about spaying and neutering your pet- when my cat got neutered he got infected and stuff and almost died. I'm not against spaying and neutering animals, with future pets I will definitely spay and neuter them, but very very rarely there will be complications
Sorry third comment, I just have a lot to say. I was wondering what your opinion in for having Pets for emotional support as long as you are giving them good/ proper care?
Far too often i see ads of people looking for emotional support animals, asking for people to just give them pets for "emotional support" reasons even though they have no money. Never get a pet you cant care for just to make you feel good. But if you care for it properly like you said, I see no problem. Just remember that if you're talking about emotional support animals, they don't have the same rights as actual support animals. Meaning they can't come into stores with you and such.
Emotional support animals are great imo. They're not seen by the ADA as being service animals and i think that's what is a huge debate right now due to the increase numbers of people abusing their emotional support animals in public places that do not allow them and claiming they're service animals. But so long as you understand the responsibility of an ESA and get your ESA registered, they can provide support for yourself that is beneficial to you. Service animals can also help with roles of Anxiety but are trained to preform a task to help cope with that.
@@carrots_the_bun ESA can be registered but mainly with dogs, it's not required and the ESA letter is really all you need but registration has benifits and may make traveling or housing easier. You may be confusing this with something else but you can register an ESA. ESA letters are only valid for up to a year but those you'll get from a mental health professional. Registering is done on your own time and not through the mental health professional.
@@MunchiesPlace actually, I'm not trying to be rude, I really like your channel. All those registries are a scam to get money. All you need is a doctor's note
The one with puppies breaks my heart. Puppies chew everything so it not safe for them to be in a box, especially with each other. If you are a breeder/preparing to be one, you need a huge backyard, with their mother and lots of water and chew toys.
People who make unsuitable cages and sell them this is for you, why the frick do you make unsuitable cages how do you like if someone just stuck to you in a shoebox 😡
I hate that people get rid of their pets for excuses such as oh I got a new animal or oh I got a new dog or oh I got a new cat and in quotation marks can’t take care of them it’s so sad i have 5 pets A hamster a dog two cats well the fish is my stepdad’s and a fish and they are my life I would never get rid of my pets for such a stupid reason my pets I might like and I love them my hamster is in a wooden aspen cage and she loves it with lots of chews lots of food and different snacks
For the one that might have been a backyard breeder: hamster litters can stay together with the opposite gender until they are 4 weeks. Then you need to separate based on sex. So it’s possible they could have been really young but I don’t think so cuz they probably would have been in the same cage so idk what is going on there
They really should stop selling unsuitable cages in pet stores
Right? That will also help with people becoming accustomed to bigger cages that are actually suitable for hamsters. I feel like the colours and crazy tubes make people feel like tiny cages are acceptable.
Franki Kootcher but sadly that would mean buying a bigger cage which is more money that stupid inconsiderate pet owners don’t want to spend.
@@arevv9441 if they stopped selling small cages, there wouldn't be any problem since they would only sell large cages. If the owner can't get a large cage they wouldn't be able to buy a hamster in the first place
First of all people should research before entering the pet store and not buy the small cages once people stop buying them they will stop selling them
@@arevv9441 in the UK you can get a cage called the Alaska for 31 pounds and it's 83cm x 50 I think and it's huge for a cheap price or bin cages are cheap and big size
I think the nuts are cashews but that still doesnt make it any better.
I feel so sad for the rabbits I've had rabbits for over 11 year and currently have a 10 year old and just it breaks my heart to see rabbits being kept like that
I agree I have a rabbit that cage is to small way to small they need something to sleep in hey and a litter box
I had a rabbit from when I was 12 until I was 22 when my foster sister killed him. I can't imagine just keeping a bun in an unenriched tiny cage like that. Mine free-ranged the spare room whenever I was home and his cage was about 3x the size of the ones in the video for when i wasn't at home (I always was at home except when I was at school)

Poor diet, needs veggies, friut, small pellets unless it's a baby, hays is needed.

Rabbits are a TON of work to care for, and people don't seem to do much research before getting one. It is so worth the work and money to have bunnies though in my opinion.
Whenever I walk my giant purebred GSD the first question I get asked 99% of the time: “Is he papered for breeding?”
1) no, he’s not.
2) he’s actually a spayed female.
Just today I found an add on Craigslist in my area that was selling a small pink hamster cage and ball.... "Hamster included" in the description
:(
The frick?! That's the opposite of what they should say!! 🤬🤬
I saw a very sad guinea pig ad a few weeks ago. There was two guinea pigs in a tiny barred cage, that was under 450 square inches... A guinea pig cage that was smaller than the minimum for hamsters. And the cage was outside, and visibly dirty. This was in Norway, which is a country that’s way to cold to house guinea pigs outside in. They lived on a shallow layer of soil, and there was no hay. Not even grass, or pellets. There were no toys, hides, chews or any kinds of enrichment. The only other things in the cage was a pile of acorns/oaknuts. I don’t know if they are toxic for guinea pigs, but they are deadly to horses, so I doubt they’re good. I really hope they got to a good home.
That's so sad
Also with the bun with the wire flooring the red chew toy I think is made of sawdust so isnt really safe
It is. It's combined with honey so an animal wouldn't know to spit it out, rabbits shouldn't have honey. It also has seeds in the middle, and rabbits should not be fed seeds or nuts, they are not hamsters.
10:53 yes, the rabbit does look quite off. He looks uncomfortable. I have had 3 rabbits in the last 4-5 years, I still have 2. But he looks sad, and uncomfortable.
The fact the pups were kept outside shows that the owner is clearly heartless and doesnt care, who keeps puppues outside in the winter!
To me that read more like they found the box of puppies outside rather than them being the ones to keep the puppies outside, but I could be wrong.
"I have a shitty financial situation, I should get an animal to make me feel better..."
I see you have met my sister...
Hi, I'm a huge fan of yours and you have really inspired me to rescue small animal's! (BTW, your introduction made me smile 😂)
My favorite on Facebook marketplace was "searching for a free puppy, kids really want a puppy but cant afford one." Excuse me? What about the vet? Food? Toys? 🤔
Awww I would bond that bunny with mine in a heart beat😭 his cage was WAY to small and he needs lettuce
He doesn't need lettuce he needs herbs and dark leafy greens
rabbit quartet lettuce like green leaf, red leaf, and romaine are best for rabbits! Herbs like cilantro and dark greens like kale shouldn’t be fed as much! :)
@@missnicolearie9266 that's totally totally false. Actually lettuce has no nutrients it's literally just water. They need collared greens kale and herbs are a massive part of a rabbit died and forage
rabbit quartet oh here we have another know it all. rabbits can eat lettuce too.
3:32 Wow, that cage is huge! I would love to be a hamster living in there.
The cage is also sadly too small for a rabbit unless it has a permanent x pen attached too it even for at night it's too small as they are most active at night so need a good space to run :)
I have rabbit and i know something about it..
I have Cage and this is my rabbits home but i let her out and she is free in my room for half of the day
Yeah rabbits shouldn't even be kept in it for night-time
Fixing pets is SO important, but some owners are just ignorant and selfish. What a pity.
So your saying that just because my dog isn't fixed(even though shes never been bred) I'm "ignorant" and "selfish"..... I believe your the ignorant one.
sarasthoughts My current dog is spayed, because I believed it was the responsible thing to do, and she has had SO many health issues since then. She was three years old when she was spayed and had never had any major issues before. Within a month of spaying she was already showing negative signs. I don’t have a problem if you spay/neuter your pets, but I personally will never spay or neuter another one of my dogs unless they absolutely require it for health reasons. As long as the owners are responsible and make sure there is no breeding happening, I don’t see any issues with keeping your pets intact.
I don’t know why there’s so much hate towards those who keep their pets intact, but are responsible about it.
@@adriannam520 EVERY dog is healthier because of spaying and neutering. It saves them from hysterical pregnancies, cancer, hormonal disbalances, many many more illnesses, and is a step forward to avoid having more strays. Just because you had some problems once it doesn't mean it's a bad procedure, cause it's not. Keeping your pects untact IS A PROBLEM.
@@farmlife-od1hg yes it is. ANY respectable veterinarian will say so. There are dozens of health issues you are exposing your pet to, including multiple types of cancer.
sarasthoughts sarasthoughts A lot of those are actually commonly believed myths. Spaying or neutering obviously takes away the chance of cancer in the parts of the dog’s body that are no longer there, but it often increases the chances of other forms of cancer, such as bladder or bone cancer.
Not only that, it also increases the chances of hip dysphasia, diabetes, and obesity, just to name a few things. I advise you to do a little more research on the benefits of keeping your dog intact before bashing others for choosing not to spay or neuter.
I hope in the future of pet care we'll see better cages for small rodents and updated care for the new years to come
One thing I hear people say to justify their care is they say: "Hey I'm caring for them better then the/a petshop did/would" THATS NTO A EXCUSE TO ABUSE ANIMALS! AGH!
I completely agree about the rabbit. I'm not positive what's wrong with it but definitely has some sort of deficiency for sure. Probably due to diet but I can't honestly say, but yes Munchie your animal instincts are right. 😉 Love this version for the CL Ads!!! Keep up the great and amazing work Munchie!!! Thank you for sharing as always.
The free puppies made me so sad! I have been preparing to get my next service dog prospect for a year as Chopper is now 6 years old and will be at retirement age in a few years and it takes 2 to 3 years to train a service dog but I have been holding off until fincinally more stable to care for 2 dogs as Chopper will retire as my pet or at home only service dog. Have been waiting a year and preparing for a year and still have yet to look at dogs/puppies. That's the responsible thing to do. I'm not just gonna go and get a dog because *I* need a service dog. I am going to wait until I know I can house and care for 2 dogs alone.
ETA: Also, as a pitbull handler, I know very well that those Rottie puppies will either become fighting dogs or bait dogs for a fighting ring. So sad!
I'm getting a new service dog soon too. My American pit bull terrier washed out. And these poor puppies, you are likely right. Those puppies aren't gonna go good places most likely
I’m currently looking for my next service dog but I’m going for a smaller breed because they fit my lifestyle, can do all the tasks I need and I need lightweight DPT
i agree it’s sad that people sell these puppies for free without knowing where they will end up, but i just wanted to say i love your dog’s names!!
I really like your attitude. I've read about a lot of rescues that are quick to flat reject people, and aren't willing to work with them. While some people will lose interest the second you start suggesting better care, there might be plenty of people who are willing to give the correct care if they are just given the proper information.
Hi! Your one of my favorite UA-camrs because you educate people on proper hamster care which makes a huge difference in the way hamsters are treated. Keep up the great work!❤
After 1 year of having my hammy babies which I love to death my parents are finally letting me get 2 very very nice cages that I found for sale im very happy that now my babies will be getting good cages and care❤️❤️
Natsumi Flame yay!!!!!!!
What did you have them in before? Did your parents not let you upgrade? I'm so glad you're doing right by your babies!
@@ascoadia282 I'm 24 years old and since I still live with my family (cultural customs) and can make my own cages, I still had to ask to upgrade my hamster's cage and they actually told me no multiple times. I basically just ended up going behind their back and bought a huge bin and made the new enclosure. They were annoyed at first but ended up accepting. It's so frustrating but that's how I get my pets good enclosures. See with my budgie. My parents wanted to buy a cheap small cage. I told them that it was what I'm going to be buying but ended up with a big flight cage. They lost their minds but again ended up conceding. Some parents really don't understand that animals need respect and good care
If only it were that easy for me to get "spayed" as a female human. Like Munchie said, it prevents cancer, lessens stress and complications, and for those who wish to remain childfree, it practically eliminates the possibility of having kids. It's the 21st century, I should be able to get sterilized if I choose to do so.
Amen sister
Preach
Rabbits should NEVER be kept in a cage. At minimum, they should be kept in a large X-pen and let out several times a day. They hardly even need pellets, let alone a whole bowl of them. They should have fresh dark, leafy greens and LOTS of hay. Love you Munchie and keep up doing what you're doing! ♥️🐰
I think I got my hamster from a breeding mil when I was 6 or 7. The container the hams were in had no hides, or anything for enrichment. Thinking about it now is quite sad.
Awww the first rabbit is so sad!!!!! I though it looked sick before you mentioned it! Poor baby!! 🐰🐹💖💖
The rabbit with paper bedding without hay... doesn’t look like there’s any poop droppings! My bun poops hundreds of droppings a day.
Ashley Ramirez Same that’s one of the first things I noticed! I have to change out my 2 bunnies litter tray everyday to keep them clean!
If there was hay in there would they not accidentally eat the paper? I don't have rabbits but I have Guinea pigs and I can't use shredded paper with them for that reason. Just wondering :)
I love your shirt and these videos!Great video! 🐹
My dog pulled out her sitches, and staples so my spay with her was noTTT easy or quick hahaha
No one:
Not a soul:
*meow* BOBOBOBOBOBO 😂😂😂😂
Whenever I nicely inform the ppl of tiktok that something in their hamsters care is incorrect and often that person deletes my comment Nd other call me out for hate
Her vids are so underrated
Yeah :-(
Sometimes that's a good thing for me. Less stress.
A while back there was a listing for three guinea pigs where their cage was a kiddy pool with bedding, a food bowl, a hide, and a little fence around it
The rabbit one is sad. Rabbits should never ever live in a cage idk why they even sell cages for rabbits they should either live in a large pen (indoor or outdoor as long as you make sure it’s safe) or they should be free roam or have a room to themselves. Cages are not necessary
I had a rabbit who was living in a somewhat small cage but only stayed for the night in it and in the day it was free roam
The one with the free puppies may not even be a legit ad because that pic with the Rottweiler (?) puppies is all over the internet.
Yep I forgot to edit a note about that. I've caught hamster listings with fake photos too. Hopefully next time I can discuss that too.
I think you're doing a good job. Please keep it up!
I was going to comment the same thing. Craigs list is bad for fake adds
Yesss! My favorite videos!!
I love your videos so much you inspired me to give my hamster a proper cage thank you 🐹 💕
For the rabbit care advice, I definitely think you’re accurate. One thing I would’ve included, is that both of these cages are way too small. Generally, people recommend the length of their body times two for the length and width of the cage, and for the height to be high enough for them to fully stretch and stand without hitting the ceiling. However, I always recommend a large, four by four, ex-pen at the very least. In whatever cage you have for your rabbit, they need at the very least, four hours of playtime outside the cage. I personally think that all rabbits should get a room to themselves, or free roam. Free roaming is by far the best and most beneficial housing situation for a rabbit. It helps your relationship with your rabbit, as well as the rabbit having much more space than many others.
Fixing is also VERY IMPORTANT. It is absolutely necessary for bonding, health, and its relationship with every thing it meets. The adoption fee is the money you paid to fix the rabbit. It is incredibly dangerous to sell, or rehome, rabbits anywhere but an actual rescue. It’s just so dangerous. Even actual rescues get those people who just want a decoration, or a play toy for children, or just a throw away pet. Anyone who’s done research on rabbit adoption and rescue knows to adoption from a (only) rabbit rescue.
If you want to know more about rabbit care, I suggest looking up 101Rabbits and Lennon The Bunny, they have GREAT information, and some helpful tips. I do think you have enough knowledge to recognize bad care though, but I think more research could help with more tips for the people in the ads and people outside of them.
This should be pinched
My Holland Lop rabbit is in a 6ft long enclosure and I'm trying my best to litter box train her although it is a very difficult journey.
Rabbits should be spayed and neutered. Do u have the hay in the litter box? Or a hay rack above the litter box?
ShadowDeath Angel just keep swimming it does work eventually even though it may not feel like it the key is to make sure they can do a full 360 degree turn in there litter box and then stuff it full of hay 😁
I would also reccomend getting her spayed as it would help greatly. Although it is possible to litter train without getting them fixed, my boy isnt neutered and basically litter trained himself in a few days.
I found the most frustrating ad a couple of days ago. Person was selling her two dwarf hamsters, one male and one female. The female was sold with a small pink cage, accessories, food, colored bedding, wheel, toys, etc. The cage was under the minimum sadly, but not the absolute worst ones out there. The male however, was sold in a tiny plastic box. The only things he had were a tiny layer of natural bedding, and a chew block. He didn’t even have food. I’m actually kinda speechless.
Kaylie Jakobsen favoritism... 😑🐹
I am from Germany and we hold our hamsters REALLY good, like really... my hamster has a 120x50x50 big cage.
Is that cm or inches?
Eviolus - cm
Omg that rabbit was sooo freaking adorable but the care 😫 I rescued my rabbit from Craigslist from a breeder and I know you are not supposed to but I couldn’t leave him I wanted his siblings to this breeder literally had rabbits in bin cages to small for a hamster soooo yeah I wasn’t leaving my Leo there
And man has lei been expensive lol he has cost me over 2,000 dollars more than both of my other buns combined but I absolutely adore him 😁
Do your research for any pet people they have feelings to !!!!
Once I saw a ad with a guinea pig in a critter trail 😭
Must have been a small pig to have even fit inside
6:51 does anybody know what breed these hamsters are? My hamster looks exactly like the hamsters in picture and I wanna know what breed because the people I got it from didn’t tell me
You deserve more subscribers
That white and black Bun Bun looks exactly like my bun, sounds like my Bun, and I rescued my bun off the streets, but she is much sweeter now
My hammie just got upgraded to the ikea detolf cage (he already had a fairly big cage (about 2/3rds of this) but why not make it even bigger for him!!) and he doesn’t know what to do with himself lol!
I was just wondering if throughout the time you've owned hamsters have you ever trained them or attempted to?
if you mean trained as *taming* them, then I'm prettty sure she has trained them.
Training for tricks? I've thought of it but it's not something I want to do as my time is very divided by taking care of all of these animals. But I know of a few people who have trained their hammys.
@@MunchiesPlace that is very cool especially since it is usually harder and more time consuming to train them although that is not always the case
I love that you know about Bo-Bo-Bo 😂
I made my own rabbits cage, theres space to burrow and stay in when it's hot, and it's very spacious. They get a nice view of the garden, it's shaded, etc.
15:17
I STRONGLY agree with this. I have a personal story on this subject, actually.
While I was staying at my mother's boyfriend's house, his friends dog was still there after the friend and ex wife (ex wife to mother's boyfriend; wife to boyfriend's friend) left.
When I met Beatrice (the dog), she was in extreme poor care. She was tied up to the tree on a small rope, her nails were ridiculously long, and my hand would be caked in dirt after one small stroke. She is 4 years old and a mother of 4 litters. I think the original owners were running a puppy mill. We were infuriated when we found out about this, since you can go get your dog spayed/neutered very cheap, depending on where you go.
My mother told me to consider taking her in, and my dad agreed.
She is now doing amazing in our care. I saw how much she thrived when we got her spayed. I'm so glad we took her in, because it also turned out she had Heartworms. Thankfully, she was in a very early stage of it.
Sometime in the next 3 months, she should be Heartworm free :).
My hamster was a rescue and he was in a tiny critter trail with the wheel that came with it and the poor syrian guy was running ONTOP of the wheel with 2 or 3 feet while hanging on the to bars
i saw a photo on a hamster group im in on facebook and their hamsters habitat was outside in a small enclosure and there was no wheel and it looked really dirty
I haven't gotten to watch yet but I wish I knew you were doing a fan edition! I was actually trying to find your email the other day because I have 3 or 4 bad ones
I don't want people sending them to me all the time but I asked for submissions on Twitter in January and on the community tab on YT, so please send them when I ask. I also don't want people contacting me via email as the only email I have is not for UA-cam. Thank you.
@@MunchiesPlace I must have missed it then(and wow you really have been sitting on this lol). I get it I wouldnt want them all the time either. And I can get that too! I figured thats why you didnt have one listed somewhere
Hi Munchie (and/or everyone else). I know this isn’t related to this video but it’s just something that’s been making me worry about it a lot lately. So school just started for me and my science this year is living environment. Basically biology with a bit of environmental science sprinkled in. These first few days we’ve been going over the safety procedures and I realized that we’re going to be handling live animals in some of our experiments. I already felt like this was something that I didn’t wanna do but they also played a video about these safety procedures. At one point they showed 3 mice or rats in a little carrier cage type of cage and they were all looking at the lid as if they wanted to get out of the cage. I don’t want to do the experiments with living animals but by my state law I have to or else I won’t be able to pass the class. I just think it’s wrong that we’re doing this to animals. 🐭💙💖
Hackie Puffs I’m really sorry you have to do that. I’m vegan so doing any science lab assignments with animals makes me really uncomfortable too. I would talk to the teacher and see if they’ll let you do an alternative assignment instead. You could say it’s for religious reasons and they would likely just make you do something else for the points. I would also consider making a petition or writing a letter to the district or whoever is forcing teachers to do experiments with live animals so they can end this requirement
With that bun bun the cage is way to small thay need a pin not a cage. You can also free roam a bunny (you will need a litter box) I fill sad for that bunny 😭
I bred rabbits for over 7 years, i kept mine outside in a all wire cage its okay to do but they need proper diet
That is not okay AT ALL. You breed rabbits but don't understand that rabbits don't have padding on their feet and can get sore hocks on wire caging.
@@XylophoneZedbra its only for outdoor rabbits. People have been doing this for a long time with little or no sores on their hocks. I do not currently breed due to not having a set up but do not say its not oay without knowing the set up or proper care for outdoor rabbits.
@@huntervinson8713 Same goes for you. Do not say I don't know proper set ups or know proper care when I have studied and owned (and own now) animals including rabbits who are in fact laying on my soft comfy bed right now :)
I think the point here is that even if your buns didn't have bacterial infections, avoiding abrasive surfaces, unclean areas and moisture are the reasons for bacterial infections to pop up in the first place. Due to how many breeders there are of rabbits around my area, i've seen breeders who do not keep their areas clean so there is a big stigma of conditions of these rabbits and the wire flooring is seen in cages that do not provide room to roam and hop and are usually up high above the ground. Bumblefoot i see more often with hamsters than rabbits and i'm sure that's what most of my fans usually see is me mention this about them, but the goal is to create the best environment for a companion animal that meets their needs and that's why i feel like others, that wire flooring or mesh flooring needs to go away and many are advocating for change. Just because it's been going on for many decades, doesn't mean it's right. We can say that about a lot of our lifes problems that use to be seen as normal to society. I don't wanna get political but i think you know what i'm getting at. But wire is not needed for buns who frolic and hop and don't live above ground in the air on wire cages.
Great video as always munchie 😊
10:51 I am a rabbit owner and I can verify this is in-propper care. First, rabbit's shouldn't be caged at all but if they are it has to be so much bigger than this. Pellets (the rabbit's only food option) are luke junk food for rabbit's and it's really bad. They NEEED hay, as you stated. They have very weak guts and use hay to keep there entire system running and helps force out poop. And another very important part of a bunnys diet is the veggies. They NEED something luke lettuce daily. Along with an ocaisial bannana or something. The best home you can put a rabbit in is by potty training then free roaming your rabbit in a room and/or the house. 💗
No they don't need lettuce that's just water they NEED stuff like kale and herbs stuff that actually has vitamin and mineral is
Hi , you have inspired me to become a future animal rescuer and open up my own rescue centre. I’m currently designing my own cages that are the correct sizes not just for hammys and gerbils. But also chinchillas and other exotic animals. You are such a major inspiration for me, I love you and your work so so much 😍❤️❤️
The bun diet you mentioned is perfect for them! Buns shouldn't be kept in cages at all in my opinion, but an indoor pen/room that is bunny proofed is a very good way to keep them in one place and so they dont chew/poop on or in your stuff. My two bunnies have a shared area currently of about 10 sq feet but am going to expand withing the month as we are moving. Each bun should have about 4 sq feet minimum and lots of toys and/or a friend as they're social animals. That first bunny looked just extremely sad as the space was only about twice as big as the litterbox should be and looked to be overweight from a pellet only diet. I couldn't see its coat and I dont know its breed and what they should look like but other than the weight he looked okay. Just so so sad :(
I love the vids
With the UK cage, I’m in the UK and I use to have that cage for my gerbils (yes, far too small everyone makes mistakes) but I believe that cage is the bigger version of it, not sure how many square inches though
Omg these kinds of ads are why I don’t even look at Craigslist
This is probably why I'm aging faster. 😂
Hi please reply your the best hamster UA-camr I know I love you and your great on giving opinions about hamsters and hamster stuff and hamster ads your the best 😊😊😊
Can you do a video about property husbandry for gerbils? I have owned hamsters and have a good understanding of their care but I think gerbils are adorable and I am growing more interested in them.
if we ever get any in our rescue, possibly. Otherwise i'd recommend checking out pickles pets.
Hey munchie! Could you do a video reacting to the Omlet suite cage xx.
Seeing that robo broke my heart. I have one and he needs soooo much more space than that to be happy
My grandparents have bunnies and i am helping the one become less scared. I go over once or twice a week. The bunny has come a long way and is now laying on my lap comfortably.
I love the color of your hair! So sad how many animals out there need a good home with someone who has the time and commitment to take care of them.
Unfortunately, Petathome (the UK version of Petco) is stocking those really small toy looking cages too from Ferplast to appeal to kids. I wish they would stop making small cages look like toys or desktop accessories. If you want to keep something in a small cage that is shaped like a circus tent then keep a pet rock.
;o I'm finally early. love your videos btw!
Great video Munchie, very educational! I agree, for some reason the first bunny strikes me as unhealthy :-(
I adopted my baby hamster from Craigslist and now he is 3 months old and I love him😭❤️
Hi Munchie! How are you?
Edit: I forget to say your hair looks nice
Anyone else want to take in so many of those animals but doesn’t know too much or has too many animals already? They will find the live that they deserve 💖💖💖
In the UK pet shops encourage you to buy chew toys and a semi suitable wheel.
When I got my mouse he frequently sneezed, but I never knew why because he had paper bedding, ventilation was fine, his nose was clear and things weren't dusty that I could see. The only thing that made me think twice about it was his food. Even when I got rid of the bedding and cleaned the cage he still sneezed, so I started to think his food was causing his sneezing. So once I switched over to Sunburst from Kaytee his sneezing stopped. But that rabbit doesn't look like it's the healthiest it could be.
Yay new video
So rabbit. Way too small a cage, unless it has a 'play pen' and an open door which I doubt they have. I have not and will never use paper bedding because they do tend to chew on it when they are stressed. Hay is required, preferably Timothy or Alfalfa. Hay pellets can be offered as well, but they need just straight hay for several reasons (Diet, digestion, Teeth, ect). Is is also recommended feeding fresh veggies daily, which can be supplemented with pellets to make sure they get all their nutrients. Several different types of chews to help enrich and keep teeth trimmed. Daily handling and playing when it is a solitary rabbit as they are rather social. You can get a custom made rabbit wheel (Most brands don't make them big enough) but they normally don't like them so you need a pen or run for them to get their exercise. Litter trays both in the cage and in the pen or run cleaned daily. And regular nail trimming as like their teeth, their nails never stop growing and in captivity they don't get the chance to dig like in the wild which would naturally trim their nails.
And that rabbit is rather far from healthy. Sitting like that and still able to make out the body from the legs means it is either underweight, or the coat is much thinner than it should be or both. Which ties into poor diet. Looking around the edge of the eye, you can see where it is a crusty pink, which is a sign of an infection normally caused by a poorly maintained cage or improper bedding causing irritation. As for the size, it looks like a mutt so there is no telling if it's normal or not without seeing the parents. My guess is it's a few months old and undersized from poor diet.
I have the same tank top as you :) I love le lion king 0w0
This makes me so sad...I would take them all home if I had the room. x
do dwarfs need dust baths? my bf got one for his russian dwarf because he was worried about her cleaning herself but now i am worried because of what munchie said about the first ad
Dust baths cause respiratory issues so most people use sand baths instead. You can put regular play sand on a tray in the oven for a bit then it's ready for the cage, or you can buy reptile sand
I cried at the puppys🥺
Hiiiiii munchie can You do More fish videos please 😀😀😀😀😘😘
For the whole length of the video I was cuddling with my rat boy Erik. He will snuggle up on my lap or hand every night during free roaming and just enjoy being pet for a looong time. I got him and his brother Nines from the German version of craigslist, they are from an accidental litter, their mom was a pregnant pet store rat. Nobody wanted him because he is a standard agouti boy, but he is the cuddliest of all of my rats. Adopting animals is so worth it, even if they come from bad homes or might have genetic issues because their parents are pet store animals or feeders, they have so much love to give. Sorry for the long post, guess I was just overwhelmed by how much I love my furry little grandpas.
Being a first time owner of a hamster isn’t an excuse for any bad hamster care. I currently own my FIRST hamster which is a winter white hamster that I adopted from petsmart a week ago. He lives in a 55 gallon aquarium he is doing amazing yes I will be upgrading very soon. Hamster care channels including this one, educated me about hamies and I feel so great knowing I saved this baby boys life, because I initially was going to buy a hamster instead of adopting.Sadly I did do my research on the internet to see those who do search and found so many misleading information and it sucks that pet stores or just pet companies are making lots of products that are so horrible for pets including hamsters... but I’m so thankful that there’s people like you and this community. I named my hamster munchie cuddles❤️ adopting him was the best decision.. thank you 🙏 #adoptdontshop
Poor rabbit can you go onto UI stasis
When you were talking about spaying and neutering your pet- when my cat got neutered he got infected and stuff and almost died. I'm not against spaying and neutering animals, with future pets I will definitely spay and neuter them, but very very rarely there will be complications
Please tell me if theres a difference between chinchilla dust and chinchilla sand I am kinda confused
Sorry third comment, I just have a lot to say. I was wondering what your opinion in for having Pets for emotional support as long as you are giving them good/ proper care?
Far too often i see ads of people looking for emotional support animals, asking for people to just give them pets for "emotional support" reasons even though they have no money. Never get a pet you cant care for just to make you feel good. But if you care for it properly like you said, I see no problem. Just remember that if you're talking about emotional support animals, they don't have the same rights as actual support animals. Meaning they can't come into stores with you and such.
Emotional support animals are great imo. They're not seen by the ADA as being service animals and i think that's what is a huge debate right now due to the increase numbers of people abusing their emotional support animals in public places that do not allow them and claiming they're service animals. But so long as you understand the responsibility of an ESA and get your ESA registered, they can provide support for yourself that is beneficial to you. Service animals can also help with roles of Anxiety but are trained to preform a task to help cope with that.
@@MunchiesPlace just to let you know, munchie, there is no such thing as registration for an esa, not trying to be rude
@@carrots_the_bun ESA can be registered but mainly with dogs, it's not required and the ESA letter is really all you need but registration has benifits and may make traveling or housing easier. You may be confusing this with something else but you can register an ESA. ESA letters are only valid for up to a year but those you'll get from a mental health professional. Registering is done on your own time and not through the mental health professional.
@@MunchiesPlace actually, I'm not trying to be rude, I really like your channel. All those registries are a scam to get money. All you need is a doctor's note
The one with puppies breaks my heart. Puppies chew everything so it not safe for them to be in a box, especially with each other. If you are a breeder/preparing to be one, you need a huge backyard, with their mother and lots of water and chew toys.
People who make unsuitable cages and sell them this is for you, why the frick do you make unsuitable cages how do you like if someone just stuck to you in a shoebox 😡
I hate that people get rid of their pets for excuses such as oh I got a new animal or oh I got a new dog or oh I got a new cat and in quotation marks can’t take care of them it’s so sad i have 5 pets A hamster a dog two cats well the fish is my stepdad’s and a fish and they are my life I would never get rid of my pets for such a stupid reason my pets I might like and I love them my hamster is in a wooden aspen cage and she loves it with lots of chews lots of food and different snacks
For the one that might have been a backyard breeder: hamster litters can stay together with the opposite gender until they are 4 weeks. Then you need to separate based on sex. So it’s possible they could have been really young but I don’t think so cuz they probably would have been in the same cage so idk what is going on there
hell's yeah!
