Another cage setup video?!? I know you guys enjoy them so I hope you don’t feel it’s too repetitive 😂 this enclosure set up also isn’t permanent, I suspect I’ll change it up again- I’ve never been amazing at creating setups and try my best to take inspiration from others but sometimes they just don’t turn out how I’d like them to. I also need to pick up some more containers for different substrates as I didn’t realize I’ve run out of them! The enclosure in the video is my DIY I did a video on here: ua-cam.com/video/ZuYGvaW9L0Y/v-deo.html
It’s not repetitive
A lot of us enjoy them :)
i love these types of videos :))
I love these videos!!
I thrive for these videos
I might've missed something, but wasn't this the cage in the melamine video which said it wasn't going to be used again?
I used to be a fan, but now I’m a whole air conditioning unit
Why did this take me a minute to get 😾💀
This made me laugh:)
😂😂😂
😂😂😂 Hi again Little Ham ham. How is snowy?
That's very relatable
i shouldn't have expected her to be done adding bedding so quick
Fr lol
Ikr
Wow,how much she spent on bedding 😮
Lol...I think ya short on bedding 😂
5:13 is exactly how I feel when setting up an enclosure! The pressure is too much to make the enclosure ✨Perfect✨
I agree 😅 seeing so many amazing enclosures on Instagram also puts a lot of pressure to setting up something that is just as good but sometimes we just have to remember we all have different ideas and supplies to setting up our enclosures!
@@VictoriaRaechel
Plüschraupe's enclosures can be really stressful to watch LOL, though inspiring
@@Gwenllian25 Oh my gosh I so agree. Lol
True!
@@VictoriaRaechel yes! I agree!
Victoria: that’s the setup, I’m not sure if I’m happy with it. The next day, Victoria:
Anyone else who wants to dig into that big pile of bedding 😂
I would love to do that. (Only if I was a 🐹, which sadly I’m not!)
ikr
wishing i was victoria’s hamster😂😂
@@meli8635 Ooh! How did I forget that???
ME
For me, settings up cages is super fun so I loved watching this!
Yay! I can’t wait to watch the video! I just got an Ikea Detolf a few days ago and today we’re to build it and set it up for my dwarf hamster :)
My winter white lives in a detolf, she is so happy in it. :)
Hi where did you get your Cages also how expensive where they I am thinking about upgrading from a 650 quare inch and do you recommend any other cage brands
@@pastlerobloxs2240 i recommend the large rectangular pawhut (115x60cm) if you live in the UK, it gives them lots of space and it fluctuates in price so you can get it quite cheap
I’m getting a hamster on Wednesday and i’m so excited, thank you for all your videos and for helping me be the best hamster parent i can be. Also i’m so happy that my parents literally only let me had one now because i’m old enough and that their main concern is how well the hamster is treated. Like my mom literally cried at the thought of us accidentally neglecting a hamster.
YOUR THE BEST VICTORIA R!
Your mom is a good person to care so much about the hamster's welfare, & it sounds like you've learned love & respect for animals as well. Hopefully you have your hamster by now, congrats!!
Can we appreciate how good of a ham owner tori is !? She rocks ! She is always willing to improve her care ♡ and She Is so amazing!😍👏 props to you Victoria!
Thank you for the sweet comment ❤️🥰
Yay You added the mystery shack!!
I have three huge bags of Kaytee clean and cozy in the middle of my room waiting for my DIY cage to be finished.
I'm so excited to set it up! The cage turned out so awesome!!
Waddles is gonna have some roomies soon 🤣
How many is he getting?
Waddles already has two roomies at the moment aka the rabbits
She***
@@hamsterro3969 Waddles is a boy, you were correct the first time
I can’t wait to see your new little buddy when you get him!! He’s going to be so cute, I’m guessing you’re going to get a drawer Campbell’s or winter white!!!🥰🥰😍
waddles is doing so well! I can’t wait to see your new hamster!
I just love that right from jump you're showing what it takes to do this well (with the wellbeing of the hamster in mind!).
I laughed as you just kept adding more bedding lol. Great job!!!
This looks so amazing I can’t wait to see the new little fluff ball that will be living in here
I really wish we had niteangle available in the uk. The cage set up looks amazing!
I mean you guys do have access to RodiPet, Getzoo etc haha! Thank you!
@@VictoriaRaechel rodipet and getzoo aren't available in the UK because of Brexit unfortunately - so all we have is rubbish brands that occasionally make good stuff like trixie and savic and rosewood and that'd it
isn’t niteangel on Amazon?
@@tbhmaya yes but shipping is very expensive!
@@yonit it does show rodipet still ships to the UK and I do have a UK friend who has just ordered from getzoo 😅
I really enjoyed watching this diy tutorial. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing your creative ideas!
It looks 🤩 The herbs make it so colourful!
ive been watching your videos for so many years and i finally got a hamster after all this time and i want to say thank you for helping me give my hammy a great life with your amazing videos :)xx
That's so so exciting! I'm happy I could be apart of your hamster care journey!
Hi Victoria I'm a huge fan and you have really inspired me and helped me take care of pets the right way :) tysm
Victoria: builds an entire hamster cage that looks amazing
Me: can’t follow instructions on how to put together a cardboard box from IKEA 🥲
Same
Lolll😂
That would be me haha
hahaha don't worry I can't follow Ikea's instructions either 😅
That looks so good!! Im so excited that you put in the mystery shack, because that means you could be getting sandcastle soon!! Great video!! ❤
Aww! Victoria it looks great! Great inspiration to me because I’m building a new enclosure for my hammy Leo today!! TYSM FOR EVERYTHING!!!! You have saved me from giving my little hammy horrible care!! Wow, just thank you!
I got a second rabbit! I’m going to start the bonding process in a week or two!
Congrats!! I wish you all the luck 🤞🏼
Every Saturday I’m literally so excited because I know your gonna probably post! Love the setup and I’m so excited to see sand castle! (or maybe Mabel 👀)
Yay!! I love watching your setup videos! You’re such a great inspiration ❤️ The set up is wonderful!! Can’t wait to see your new fur-baby!! How fun that Waddles will have a neighbor 💗💗 I love the top to your niteangel multichamber hide! Wish they still sold one like that. Thanks for all of your wonderful videos!!
Hi, Victoria! I always try not to miss your videos! Love you and the enclosure looks amazing
I love how cute this is! Can’t wait to see the next member, also lots of hugs, kisses and treats for waddles 💛xx
I love this! Gave me some great ideas! I want to see the end result of your hammy exploring!
I'm happy it could give you some ideas!!
Yo definitely are more creative than I could ever be with new set ups. Love to see your mind at work. It’s always amazing
I’m upgrading my cage tomorrow thanks for your information. I didn’t know about the minimum sizes and now that I know I feel completely responsible for my hamster health, life and happiness. Thanks for all your experiences and knowledge shared to this community!!!
always loved animals but you have got me into loving hamsters. I have had a hamster in the past before watching your videos and he was living in a tiny pets at home plastic enclosure with no where near enough floor space. Once I came across ur channel I upgraded his cage to an IKEA detolf with much more enrichment and he lived as a happy hamster. Love the new set up and I hope you and the pets r doing good and waddles is settling in well x
I'm happy to be your entry into hamsters 😂 I'm glad he's got a good owner! Thank you!
@@VictoriaRaechel its same for me! I have looked at all ur videos and they are amazing👍🏻 Now I’m building a diy Ikea cage😍
One of the many amazing things about Victoria is that she takes the time to answer questions on her videos and interacts with people even though it takes a lot of time. I LOVE your channel, you’re amazing!
I try my best! It gets harder and harder with more viewers but I’ll always do my best 😊
I love that your setups have different layouts and that you care so much about your hamster and his well being! He must be living his life in paradise! Hahaha Your videos have helped me and my hamster so much throughout my life. And also same I'm so indecisive on setups too!
I try my best to make them different but i tend to stick to similar layouts 🥺 trying my best to get out of that habit tho 😂
I'm 26 and I never had hamsters in my life. I found your channel prior to getting a hamster and it helped me tremendously! Thanks to you, my Syrian girl Vanilla has a cage with almost 2000sq inches of floorspace, 12 inches of bedding, 2 multichamber hides, 2 houses, a 33cm wheel, sand, coco soil and lots cork logs, branches and sprays. Feels so good to own a pet starting on the right track and that's all thanks to your videos and wonderful hamster care groups. Vanilla and I are very thankful for your content.
Hugs from England
That's awesome!
My hamster, pip, died about a month ago. He was almost 3 years old. I just wanted to say thanks for inspiring me to take care of him correctly and to give him the best life possible. Keep up the amazing videos. You help so many people. Thank you x
victoria is honestly a role model for all of us!
I always love the cage set up videos❤
Haha, I literally just finished deep cleaning/resetting up my hammy's cage! LOVE THESE VIDEOS
Me too!
can we all appreciate how much research and time victoria puts into these vids
Thank you for the support ❤️
@@VictoriaRaechel thank u
I’m getting my first hamster tomorrow and I’ve been binge watching your videos for the past few days trying to educate myself on them as much as I can. Thanks for being the best teacher!
Same XD i haven’t been able to sleep, i’ve been researching for 3/4 years and finally think i’m worthy to own a pet
So many different types of bedding!!!
Eeeekkk! Exciting!
I love how well you take care of your animals!
Stay safe!🌸
My hamster 🐹 dreams of such a cage
Hi Victoria! I absolutely love your cage arrangement videos since I’m getting my hamster soon and your cages are amazing! I’m getting a Syrian and it’ll live in a detolf, just ordered loads of nite angel products! Tysm for all of these tips I’m so grateful I found your channel
Sounds really exciting! If you do plan to have a Syrian in the detolf it is recommended to try and have an extended lid so you’re able to put a proper amount of bedding and such 😄
@@VictoriaRaechel Okay! thankyou so much for the tip, I’ll make sure to do that :)
@@maxmc7612 Do it, my syrian escaped twice from the detolf, a proper extended lid might have prevented it. Eventually she moved to an even bigger enclosure and my dwarf lives in the detolf now. :)
@@Gwenllian25 alr, I hear that they are escape masters! I’ll definitely make an extended lid then 💕
Amazing set up I love it! 🐹🧡🪴
I love watching these setup videos while reading all the comments on people's hamster stories :)
Great video!! Today, I went to pet smart with my dad to look at the Robovoski hamsters because I will be getting one soon, and I was disgusted by how much people bought the tiny tales "cages" while I was there. They're more like little kid toys. Thank you for letting us know in one of your previous videos how bad those "cages" are. I will never be getting one and will be buying a huge cage!
The enclosure looks amazing!
I recently adopted a 6 week old Roborovski and thanks to your videos he has the happiest little life a hamster could have! At least I hope so. We're currently on day 3 of being here so, yeah
I loooove watching your cage set ups
i swear every single cage setup you do is so pretty and fun to look at! i love this!!
oh thank you!!
Another excellent example of what a hamster enclosure should look like and consist of :)
Keep up the good work. 👍
Thank you for the support! ❤️
I love seeing cage setups and yours are so pretty and they look super enriching, especially all the deep bedding in this one!
Did you paint the wall in the pet room or something? I don't remember that pink part?
Thank you! Yeah I painted an arch behind the cage back in June!
@@VictoriaRaechel :) It really gives a pop of colour it looks cool!
I thought so too!
Yaaay I'm so happy to see you new video of you! Have a great day
You too!!
Live from Austin Texas. Mr fancy pants Oreo 🐹 want to say thank you for making me more updated on his needs.
I love when you post videos! I hope Waddles is doing good! 😍can’t wait to see your new hamster! I’m thinking about upgrading my hamster from her bin cage to a detolf, would you recommend I do that? Her bin cage is around 615 sq inches of floor space.
Thank you! he's doing well, I post videos on my instagram story when I get to interact with him 😊 I always will recommend an upgrade!
Hello Victoria, my daughter has a Russian dwarf hamster, and we were wondering what your supposed to do with their scent glands? Our little guy keeps getting nasty gunk on his tummy where his gland is. We would love it you could help us out, and make a video on this or reply Thank you!
You need to see a vet immediately, this could be an infection or something. It is never normal if there inflamed or got stuff coming out. You must not, not take the time a vet because they’re small.
@@Harrietwashere23 Goodness, thank you so much I'm going to make an appointment. Thank you so so much we love the little guy.
The mystery shack is so cute and looks so good in the cage!! 😍
As the years go on you add more and more bedding!! 😂 I used to watch you consistently 7yrs ago until my 3rd hamster passed away a 4 yrs back. It’s great to see your new ideas! I miss hamsters so I’m thinking about adopting one soon! Thank you so much for all your knowledge throughout the years. You’ve taught me so much 💙

Thanks Josie!
I love these videos! It inspires me to do a mini clean out and rearrange my ham’s cage. I get the same way with placing the items, I’ll rearrange them several times. Lol 😂
When you placed the hideout of the Mystery Shack, my jaw dropped. ANOTHER GRAVITY FALLS FAN!
She has a hamster called Waddles :D
@@Gwenllian25 OMG THAT IS TRUE! I don't know why that went over my head! 😭😭❤❤
Yes haha I showed how I made it on my channel 😄
@@VictoriaRaechel I have no idea how I missed it. Guess that's why I have to turn the bell notifications on! Thank you for sharing Victoria! ❤
I absolutely love this these types of videos! It gives me ideas on how i can set up my cage in the future
Samee
I skipped to the end because I rlly wanted to see what it looks like! I LOVE it!🤩

I was really itching to use it 😂 it’s been taking up a lot of space in my closet
Yay New Video! Love ur Channel! Keep up the good work! :D
I love how much you really care about these hamsters, I made a 1065 sq inch enclosure almost finished it!, And I'm so exicted to decorate it with all the accessories and my 3 bags of bedding ( hope it's enough )
It’s nice to see how other pet parents do things
