"It's irresponsible to buy a pet that you can't/won't provide for" is probably the most important thing you said in the entire video. Nothing drives me up a wall more than hearing someone say "But I can't afford such and such a product!" Then don't get a pet. That's like having a child and then complaining that you can't afford clothes for them, or a bed. Be prepared to assume FULL responsibility or don't get that animal at all. It's literally that simple.
Great info, and I always love the style of your videos; very straight forward and always helpful, not to mention super cute to watch. In The States, we consider 450 square inches to be suitable, but I'm so glad other countries and places have even higher standards! I've got a Detolf for my Winter White, but I see some people with their awesome D.I.Y. cages and I get so jealous! I'm not that crafty though. Store bought works for me!
Tanya Foster Hey! I have a detolf too. That's cool. I completely agree with you, about what VanillaHamHam said.
I always suggest cages 450 square inches at the bare BARE minimum. With 650+ being extremely recommended. Some hamsters show signs of stress even in cages of 1,000 squares inches or more.
The bigger the better!
🐁🐀🐀🐁🐀🐁🐀🐁🐀🐁🐀🐁🐀🐁
Tanya Foster I totally agree with you I have 2 Russian dwarf hamsters and they are fine with there cage
You made me cry
Oops
I'm so glad I found your channel! We bought our son a dwarf hamster 6 weeks ago and purchased the ready to go cage that petco suggested. I had no clue it was too small for him or that he could hurt his teeth on the bars. We also were told their diet was nothing special! If it wasn't for you and channels like yours who knows how little Chewert would be doing! We made him a big, roomy bin cage and he LOVES all that space. Can't thank you enough!!
Oh my gosh, I love the idea of parents taking care of their kid's hamsters! Usually people assume that you guys don't care as much as other people. So glad that you upgraded and that your hamster is happy
What species is your hamster dear?
Kuroi Kenshi actually, sugar does NOT mean diabetes. It's more of a generic problem due to the severe inbreeding of hamsters in mills.
Remember to put a lot of toys (chew toys, climbing toys etc) and a lot of hiding places (tubes, huts, plastic igloos) in the cage!
You really have a talent with how you present things in your videos, VanillaHamHam! :) You crammed a lot of good information into this, but it wasn't at all tedious or boring to watch. Your graphics and everything are top notch and so so cute! It's also very kind of you to have a playlist to showcase other UA-camr's DIY cage videos and thank you for including some of my videos as well! That's sweet of you! 💜 Your channel has always been amazing, but it's even more amazing now that you've started including these informational videos. They will help teach so many people! 🐹
@hopping hammy I have a 40 breeder is that enough floor space or do I need more
Ray Ortiz what is the width and length measurements to work out (sq inches), it can vary per 40 gallon breeder. VanillaHamHam believes the BARE minimum should be 620sq inches and bigger is better so you probably should upgrade, especially if it’s a Syrian. Great that you’ll upgrade though.
Sa Yeewen the measurements are 36x18x17=648 square inches of floor space but thanks for telling me!
Ray Ortiz ok welcome
"But I can't afford a big hamster cage" then don't even think about the rest, I think I spent 200€ in toys, bedding and cage... just everything for him to have a happy life. So yes, this is not a choice you make without thinking...
Magnolia the witch my friend has a hamster and i’m sure they spend $200 a month for her hamster !

VanillaHamHam 😊
VanillaHamHam so cute
VanillaHamHam 😀😀😀
jadas asome! No
Hola soi michelle
I love the amount of effort you are putting into these recent information videos, When I was little we had a hamster and it was always aggressive, after watching these videos I understand know that the cage we kept it in wasn't suitable at all! Luckily we gave it away because we got a dog and for the last years of its life it got a better home, I hope this video shines light on many hamster owners on getting the optimum quality of life for their hamsters :D
I really needed this video. My brother and his girlfriend surprised me with a hamster last month for my birthday and while I'm so grateful, I was not prepared to properly care for a hamster and I'm in the process of getting him a new enclosure. So thank you so much for the ideas
This is a great video! My favorite part is where you state that if someone can't provide the proper home then a hamster isn't the right pet. There have been many times when I had wanted to tell people this exact statement but I can't because I would get in trouble at work. All I can do is educate them on the proper care of the hamsters and hope they listen.
MsFranzification .
I've wanted a hamster for a very long time, since i was a kid! I've been waiting; trying to make sure I can provide all the suitable requirements for them. Your videos are a great help to me!
I'm not there financially to support a hamster, but I'll get there someday. Thanks for the helpful information, as always!
Hamsters eat their babies. You know that, right?
NANapoli what does that have to do with anything that I said???????????
NANapoli lots of animals will eat their stillborn babies. It's like recycling. The baby is dead and therefor "useless" and the mother gets to regain the energy lost in conceiving and giving birth.
Ik, I just still don't like it.
LITERALLY WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT I COMMENTED!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!?!?!?!
Your bin idea honestly saved my life and empty wallet, not as regular cage but as save birth place for the ham babies we'll be getting soon! After watching your video I immediately cleaned the biggest one that's been standing in my storage room for the past months.
Thanks for the helpful video and keep up the great work! Really glad to be subscribed to your lovely channel
Appreciate all the work put into this video!
Best hamster cage video ever! If people come to my video's asking about what cage they should get for their hamster or cheap cage ideas and stuff , I will definitely point them to this video. Fantastic job at editing! ;-)
Hi!! I subscribed and I am excited for what you have for us vanilla ham ham!! I love your diy's and hope you make more!
I made the Linnmon tank from your video and it’s lasted my entire hamsters life, my kookie was 2 before he died the other day. Thank you for your video because I feel like he had the best life I could give him in a huge space, which was only possible because I found your video ♥️
Such a wonderful video!!! Soooo helpful
Early! I Love your channel and Vanilla is so Cute💗🐹
I really love your editing💙
Thanks I've been looking and saving up for a new cage, very helpful 💕💖
very well made video !!
Ill be moving back home soon and planning on making my hamster Susan her own DIY cage :3 I'm so excited ! Your vids have helped quite a bit ! Thank you
I love your videos. Cloud is now happily living in the IKEA Linmon DIY cage that you made a video for. He is way happier now that he has space!
great video!
Very good information 👍🏻
I subscribed, your videos are so cute X3
you know youre pretty creative and thank u for making these vids
I have 4 dwarf hamsters, all in their own cage, all running in their wheels when I'm trying to sleep, all ADORABLE
jnjdndnfjf I know a good size for a wheel is like 6 inches but IS IT OKAY IF I HAVE AN 8 INCH?
Bangtan Trash Probably would be, as long as your hamsters are strong enough to push it
thank you
okay, thank you! theyre able to push it, I just wanted to know it was unhealthy or not!
My big fat Syrian hamster girl needs an 11 inch! She's 7 inches long. If the wheel bends the hamsters back, it's ok for a bit but you definitely need a bigger one, it can injure them in the long run.
I loveeeeee this video! So helpful! Xo
Yay! This is considered first for me!! I love your videos
Excellent video on cages! Hamsters should have all the room they can, with places they can hide and play in!
My Russian dwarf hamster named Mewtwo (yup, the Pokémon lol!) is very happy with his new cage! I watched this video before buying it so I knew decent stuff about suitable homes for hamsters. It has a log house filled with special hamster homing cotton I got at the pet shop and it has a silent spinning wheel, attachable tubes on the sides with little sleeping houses connected to them, one of them I used as a potty and one as a sleeping house :3 and has a bowl with water+ a bottle of water with one of those special balls inside, a food bowl and chewing bars and sticks with seeds on them you can hang up on the top bars. Mewtwo loves his new home and I am glad you made this video!
+Drawing blobfishy!!! Glad you're doing research, it sounds like a great home! But I'm a bit concerned about the cotton bedding, as hamsters can choke on it, among other dangers, and some people's hamsters have actually died because of it. You can learn more here: www.hamsteradvice.com/ban-fluffy-bedding.html Something paper-based like tissue is best as it can dissolve if they accidentally swallow some
VanillaHamHam thanks! I'll put some ripped tissues in there (that I didn't blow my nose on of course XD)
I love the little drawings!
Your videos are well made, useful, and entertaining. I'm getting a hamster in like 2 days, and I'm super thankful for the information you put in your videos. My hamster won't have a luxurious home like Vanilla, but I'll make it happy. Thank you.
What do you use to edit? I'm so in love with your editing!
The prevue 528 cage is the one I have! It's a very good cage, easy to put things in and has a lot of room!
Amazing! Thank you!
Thanks for the cages names!🤗
Great video
super useful! I'm upgrading my ham soon (he's in a 40 gallon and it's just a little too small for my liking) and I'm very overwhelmed by all of the options! :D
You should make a video on basic hamster care for those that don't know how and are thinking about getting a hamster after watching your videos.
Jesus Gomez Ohhh, I would love that! Especially is VanillaHamHam style :)
"It's irresponsible to buy a pet that you can't provide for" - that is SO true! If you can't afford a decent cage (and some of these cages can be bought quite cheap), then what happens to your hamster if it gets sick and needs emergency vet treatment? While most of our hamsters have never needed medical attention, our oldest dwarf hamster has been to the vet several times for neurological problems, claw clipping and an intestinal infection. If it wasn't for the antibiotics, she would have died. And none of those treatments come free! Of course, we love our hamster and pay her vet bills without hesitation so that she can stay alive, healthy and happy. We couldn't have known before we adopted her that she would get sick, as she didn't develop any health problems until later in life. But you have to be prepared - it's a living creature, it's your pet and it's your responsibility to take care of their needs.
Okay, rant over! I'd just like to add, for UK hamster owners, the Asda 150lt bin also makes a great cage. It doesn't cost much, and can be delivered to your home.
Just the video i need! Thank you!!!! Also, What glue did you use for the Popsicle stick house?
Hey, we love your videos. You made them with a lot of love. Your little hammy is so cute. We watch your videos three or four times. Thanks for the lovely entertainment. Sorry for my bad English, I'm not English...
I just got my first hamster yesterday! (Mellow is his name) I set up a 40 gallon tank for him, and he seems to be enjoying it. It's hard to tell while he is acclimating though. I did learn that he LOVES to burrow, so after I clean his cage for the first time, I'll be putting in more bedding for him! He also loves his sweet potato treats! I can't wait until I get to hold him, it's hard to wait, but I know it's for the best.
I love these vids and this channel .... Although I do not recommend the cages also because I had a robo dwarf hamster and she got out through the bars she always tried and now she is cosy and happy in her tank
vanilla is so cute and I just love you guys
Awesome video and presentation! I love your informational videos. :) How do you create the graphics? Did you also "draw" out the hamster characters yourself, or were they used from Google Images? What editing software do you use? Crisp video as always!
+Hannah Garcia Thanks, I use Premiere Pro and draw the hamsters in Photoshop
I have a hamster named Daisy and she loves her cage I bought her from Pets At Home. She doesn't bar chew, she likes to climb sometimes. She will play on her silent spinner at night, she will play with her toys all the time, and she will sleep in her cheese house during the day. Sometimes hamsters prefer smaller cages to big cages. ❤️🌸
Awsome video! I love it so much, I keep watching it over and over lol! I am actually in a process of making XL Billy cage, and when I am done I will hopefully do a video on it because I found a little trick, so I am going to spend 60 to 65 euros in total! #masivesavings haha! Btw. I do need to tell that sides of Detolf are 37 by 43 cm, and if you turn it on the bigger side (43 cm one) you actually get like 300 sq. inches more which is great! Also, I always get totally blown away with how much effort and work you put in your videos, and hamster :) Vanilla must be the happiest hamster on Earth!
Nice!
We are getting hammies soon can't wait 💖
Ive made my own cage for hammy, from storage box, theres even doors in it *cut out from other metal bar cage* and made diy ladder and platform ;3
I REALLY like your videos I was just wondering if you could post videos as a youtuber my self I understand things are hard t to edit and stuff so if you can't that's totally fine I just LOVE your channel!!!!
First and I LOVE YOU AND HAM HAM ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes, AWESOME video & information 😊 I have 3 hamsters living together & they are family & get along so well😊 they are dwarf Campbell hamsters
Do you use a drawing tablet for all your drawings in the video and if so, which one do you use. Thanks! I love the videos.
+Toro Kuro Thanks! I've got a Wacom Intuos Pro
Bare Minimum for DWARFS its 430 sq inches (usually it’s more,like 450,but the ABSOLUTE bare minimum it’s 410 sq inches of floorspace) so,a 106 qt bin cage or more it’s ok since it has 434 sq inches from the base and 453 if you add a good amount of bedding,but bigger it’s better.
I guess you are architect
Who's here before a thousand views
Never clicked on a video and like so fast in my life😂
I love Vanilla! She is soooooo...ooooo cute!😄🐁🐭
I know, a year late, but yesterday I found a large hamster cage with all good reviews called the Prevue 528. My little Midge LOVES it.
Yo tendré un hámster que genial !! Ya estoy ansiosa por tenerlo
I love Vanilla!!
Thank you for helping meee :3
This is so helpful! I did some research on a hamster cage and it turns out mine is WAY too small! (only 200 sq. in!) so i'm going to try and get a new cage ASAP.
I have two bin cages connected together by a tube which equals 712sq ft but I lost the top to the shorter bin and I can't find that bin in stores anymore.
But I don't want to buy another one because I would have to re drill a hole for the tube.
Hi, I have a quick question I have a terranium for my serian hamster but he only is under the ground and I am not sure how i can tame him (i almost have him 1 year)
I couldnt find the lack cages, as those were the biggest cages in diy, but the 3rd was detolf, which was what i was going for first, can anyone leave a link to the lack l and lack m
2:36 pls note that the ikea salma bin isn’t as big as it says it is it actually only comes to a total of 468 square inches of floor space which is over the miminum but not in all countries 💖
It's so cuteeeeeee OMG 😍😍
i suddenly have an idea, i have seen a lot of rabbit cage that is in decent size for hamster but the bars are too wide, so i think we could cover the wires with mesh, then the hamster can't get out while enjoy a big space. the design of rabbit cage also makes it easy to clean because there is a litter tray.
diy cage is difficult for many people, so i think this could be a easier alternative.
I’m getting the Alexander pet cage!!
my hammy died this morning after only 4 months :( she digested the litter from the kaytee potty litter and it got stuck in her intestines she was in so much pain it broke my heart seeing her squealing before they put her down . i know she's better now but it was so preventable. i loved her so much
Great video, just a suggestion but I am led to believe that the deep last duns fun extra large is big enough, but otherwise a very helpfully video.
Love the video just sad cause I wanted to purchase one of the Terrariums but it doesn't deliver to Canada so I'm sad haha
+Alysia Robichaud Try googling the name or searching the name on Canadian Amazon, or searching for similar ones
I got a cage for my hamster, I'm not sure if I should move it out cause my Hammy seems pretty happy, but at the same time it's too small and doesn't even have enough space to put some accessories, whch one out of all in this video is the best? What should I do? any advice???
My cage at the moment is a bit small, but very soon I'll be getting a tank or a larger cage!
Great video! I think this is great for people that aren't sure what to get. The pros and cons are very clear, and the afterword was super meaningful. I have a 100 x 60 DIY cage that I made for my hamster. It was inspired by ErinsAnimals newest DIY cage the she made for Iodine. My hamster is loving it, and I can't imagine him going back to his 5,000 sq centimetre cage.
I love these videos but it also makes me sad to recall my little brother's pet hamster from when we were kids...the poor thing had a small cage and probably a miserable existence cooped up in the guest room by itself :(( it's been years but I still feel guilty about it. Wish we had been educated about hamsters before getting one!
I have a two story hamster cage its like a bin on the bottom that can lock in place and then there is a tube and the second floor is a cage
Hi, if the measurments on a terrarium are 78.5 x 45.5 x 52.5 cm, which is the height, the measurement for the front and for the sides? I just have no idea with these things haha
I wanna order the skyline marrakesh for my russian dwarf. Is the link you shared (from amazon) save to order from?? I don't usually order from amazon...
What editing app do you use? Or like how do u get your back rounds, texts, and the cute lil hamster??
+Cami Coookie Premiere Pro, I make all the graphics in Photoshop
VanillaHamHam thanks 👍
Do you think the plastic bin cage is okay? I started making one a few days ago for my hamster.
Great vid! Just wanted to say, the detolf is actually approx. 1000 sq. inches not 877 so yeah :)
I currently have 2 hamsters which I both keep in cages. Neither cage is shown here because I think they don't make it anymore but I suggest doing a lot of research about different cages if you choose to get a cage for your hamster. I have one cage that I have housed to different hamsters in so it shows a bit of year and tear and I've never had any problem with escaping. The only problem with it is that a bar came loose but I have another cage if I get another hamster. My other cage is also a very nice one and my hamster has never escaped from it but there isn't a lot of room for things such as a hut and I even had problems finding a place for the food bowl.
Hi I have an 18 month old hamster. Is she considered a "senior" hamster? What should I be doing to make her last year comfotable? She (Houdini) is Syrian with medium length fur. Please advise me!! Thanks
It's awesome that you said the minimum cage size is 612 in2.. But it's really just 450 in2. But the bigger the better!
That’s because that’s the minimum in the uk😂
i got a teddy bear hamster and my hamster cant turn around in her tube! i cant fit bigger tubes though! what should i do?
I like the idea of a barred cage, except the bar chewing. what if I put in a wooden chew block?
Is the : AmazonBasics Pet Habitat in a Large (40.2 by 21.3 by 19.7 inches LxWxH) a good choice?
ich liebe deine videos und dein
Hamster
Question! How difficult is it to clean your cage, it seems hard and I know the toys are movable and your hamster is potty trained. I just want to know how difficult it can be for you and Vanilla.
Also where should I place my hamster when I clean their cage? Should I keep them inside or put them in a separate area?
This is such a life safer! Im ready for a hamster but im stuck on finding a suitable cage :S
What stores do you reccomend going to to buy a bin cage?
I'm getting the tectake hexagonal cage for a roborovski dwarf
Whats that first cage called I got a hampster so i think she will like it
In what program do you edit your videos ?
I like the diy cage
Do you know if most this information is the same for mice? Mice and hamsters are closely related and pretty much the only differences are that hamsters have pouches, mice have tails, and mice are generally smaller. I've been looking to get a new mouse cage but they aren't really marketed. I know she likes to chew things and burrow, so I have to be careful, especially with cages that are plastic/wood and have bars. She can squeeze through most bars and will chew the bottoms.
If anyone with experience could give some advice and maybe even recommendations, I would REALLY appreciate it!!!
