Fun fact I refilmed this exact video 5 times, why? Because I’m never satisfied with what I create 😅 hopefully it’s helpful though! Saturday’s video is something fun and different so stay tuned 💓
I had a Syrian hamster who’d been sent back to the shop 4 times! I got her when my parents split up and I was told she was dangerous. She bit other people but never bit me and it was like she almost knew she was there to comfort me and make it easier. She was amazing!
Omg same!! My hamster has NEVER bit me but she bit my family..My mum is scared of her now. 😂😂 our bond is very special and means so much to me. When she sleeps on me it's truly special and she actually was a little while ago..she was tucked in my blanket and it was so cute!! I'm sure you understand the happiness you can get from a hamster and I'm sorry she isn't with you anymore....❤😢
I had the sweetest little winter white/cambell girl. She never bit me once and was super sweet when handled. She used to sit and eat with me. I miss her.
Mine used to bite me a lot the first few months. But now she never does (except if my fingers smell like food lol). BUT SHE NEVER STAYS CALM IN MY HAND, she always wanna run away..
I have one, she's super lazy. Play time? More like walk around for a few minutes and then go back to sleep time. Never knew a hampster could be so relatable
i got a hamster a while back. i realised soon after i wasn’t able to provide everything he needed, and i was terrified to ask my parents about it since i’ve begged them for one for months on end. i felt so ashamed and disappointed in myself because of the amount of research i did, i thought it would be easy. i plucked up the courage and asked my parents about buying a new cage. they said it was a silly idea as his cage was “already big enough” which i knew it wasn’t. even though we only had two weeks together, i felt like i really liked wilbur. when i finally plucked up the courage to ask my parents to take him back with me, it took a day but i convinced them. i thought it would be the best idea since i felt horrible 24/7 knowing i wasn’t able to give him the time or space he needed. it’s been almost 2 weeks without him, and i really miss him. i just pray he gets a better home and i pray i did the right thing.
I’m so sorry!!!!! Can you plssss expand on what aspects you found challenging?? I’m thinking of getting a hamster myself and I’d love to hear more about your experience
@@mariarastic well, first off everyone talks a lot about the sleeping, just please make sure you get them a silent wheel, or move them to where you are not sleeping (because their so loud!)second of all, of course not every hamster is the same, and your may train a lot faster, but my hamster was really not comfortable around me (for the last few days i had him he was a lot more comfortsble and would come outside around me)so my advice to you is just be super patient and they will end up liking you! another thing is the health requirements. i started using wood shavings for my hamster (i made sure they were the correct ones) but my hamster ended up being allergic. this caused a lot of worry for me as he would never come out him hideaway and whever he did, he would sneeze like mad. the final thing is the requirements for his enjoyment. the right cage size is SUPER important, and i did not have the room to provide him this. sorry for the huge para, but just be super sure before you get one. they are super sweet pets and i’m sure you still love yours though!!
Did you mean to put a comma in between supper and dangerous? Because I was honestly about to write a 3 paragraph argument about how a dog can be more dangerous than a hamster.
My dwarf hamster was my best friend. His name was Arthas, he passed away Sunday night and I had him for 2 1/2 years. He loved cuddles! Sweetest lil dude
uh jade my sisters hamster was her best friend her name was tiny and she had her for 1 year because she was bleeding and didn’t eat a lot but she was amazing
I got a dwarf hamster/Campbells dwarf hamster. He is so cute and nice. He’s bitten me 2 but that was at the start and didn’t really trust me because I adopted him from a pretty bad owner that hadn’t done their research and followed what the pets at home had said. I have given him the correct things and keep him safe from everything they did(they gave him cedar shavings, 420 floor space. He is now tamed and has everything he needs I’ve just been able to get him a sand bath and amazing enrichment(not as much as Victoria). I’m going to get him a bigger cage in a few weeks( zoo zone 2).
i’m a thirteen year old girl,i got a robo for my first hamster, i’ve only had him for a bit but he’s super nice, he was a little skittish at first but the second day i started trying to tame him he plopped down on my hand and started grooming himself. i think that like victoria said, a creature isn’t defined by its species, it’s defined by itself
This is like the same exact situation that happened for me I am also a thirteen year old girl who’s first hamster was a robo but my hammy was very timid and it took maybe two weeks to get her to be comfortable enough to groom herself on me but she would climb on my hand and take food from me from the get go
I got a dwarf roborovski as my first hamster and she was perfect. She trusted me and allowed me to hold her and pick her up very quickly and never really bit me. I loved her so much and am happy that I was able to give her a good home. She unfortunately passed away in March and I miss her every day 😔😭
6:17 Yes finally! So many people say “I hate cats because one attacked me” or “dogs are mean and they love biting people” but they just had one bad experience and that doesn’t mean the whole species is terrible and evil. Also it was prolly because they had bad dog/cat body language or they approached an animal who was clearly scared
I wouldn't say it's the person's fault if they get bitten by a dog. I was walking home from work once and saw a woman throwing a ball for a dog in the park. They were like 50 metres away and I didn't think anything of it and kept walking. Next thing I know the dog is behind me and bit me on the back of the leg. I freeze because I know the worst thing to do is try and run away. It was circling me nipping and scratching my legs. The owner was running up to us and when she got close the dog took off down the street. I love dogs btw. None of my dogs ever attacked people.
A little while ago I got my winter white, everytime i would put my hand in the cage for any reason at all she would bite me and cling on to my finger and almost always drew blood, we had to switch her out at pet smart cause she was so mean and now I have a fuzzy bear hamster, she bit me ones cause I scared her and that’s the only time she did, and luckily lol she had like snake fangs. She’s literally the nicest thing ever
@@sugamama305 I'm so sorry, I believe dwarfs are harder to tame then Syrian's ( Not too sure about this ) I'm hoping your winter white went to a new home and was tamed (probably would have taken a while ) I wish you and your syrian the best of luck! ❤️
I got a Syrian and she is a SWEATHEART, her name is Trixie we got her a few days ago she is so sweet and let's me pet her and pick her up. (she is a teddy bear hamster)
I have a Syrian ( fancy hamster ) and he is the BEST! He's my first hamster. I've had him for almost a year now. He has a lot of energy, but he makes time for snuggles too.
Yep the pet store guy gave me a Syrian hamster because “they are the best beginner species” and I’m having a lot of problems, I’m actually selling my bookshelf and getting something to store makeup, hair stuff, and other stuff in something that rolls then moving my vanity and building a new cage to make my baby Rosie happy!!!!! I’m so stressed! She is very mean! But I’m trying to do everything!!!
@@teresabelshaw6694 they’re terrified by you, some hamsters are just very defensive kind of like mine. If you just got one then leave them alone for a while (a week maybe) and try again to tame them.
I had a winter white for three years. She was my first ever hamster and I named her Pepsi and she was my everything. She loved being picked up and handled and she did nibble but more out of curiosity. She was such a sweet heart. She got along with my Guinea pigs too. Now after two years of mourning im thinking of getting a hamster again. I am debating trying something harder like the robo hamster. This video helped a lot with choosing what one I want to take on as a pet owner.
I was just watching you lol Edit: I 100% agree with you. My sweet pumpkin, Latte, is so hard to please. I get really stressed when my lil’ Latte is stressed or not pleased. But, I know she is happy, so that does soothe me.
Anipanini yeah... she was fine this morning and last night, eating, running on her wheel, drinking, interacting with me, and then I came home from school, and she was dead. I don’t know how. I think she was sick, and I just didn’t notice. Maybe I could’ve prevented it.
My Syrian hamster was so energetic and I felt bad for him because he was never happy, but nevertheless I tried so hard to satisfy him. He was so friendly, and he has never bitten anyone. He is close to my heart but he's crossing the rainbow bridge now 🌈
Last week i got a syrian hanster and omg shes so active dont know what to do. She climbs on me till my head go down climbs again on me. Like im her toy🤭 then she started to climb behind the radiator😭😭in the washmand ectr, i dont have that much energy in the night to play so long with her
I just got my first hamster yesterday (Syrian) and she was known to be a "brat" and aggressive according to the store workers. But when I took her home, she was sweetest and is already comfortable with me holding her and feeding her by hand :) I've been watching your videos, and they really help a lot!!
I've owned my first Robo for about 7 weeks now, a month after I brought him he's taking treats from my hand and inspecting my hand when I introduce it to him; He's doing so well
I had a winter white hamster and she was the most calm and social hamster i've ever seen!!! she basically didn't need time to adjust when we brought her home and immediately started eating and drinking in front of me and she used to let everyone pet her to the point where anyone could introduce their hand to her cage and she climbed up to them with so much confidence and calmness!! (this might be because she associated this with getting treats since that's how i tamed her when she came home though, idk)
I have a campbell dwarf for a year and she bit me twice and my grandma once and my grandma was only giving her water.. I’m a Syrian person and unfortunately had a bad experience with Campbell’s dwarf. And now I made a choice of taking her in the animal shelter for a home. I think for the rest of my time I’ll stick with Syrian hamsters 😅. She’s adorable though just a fiesty one.
Robo is short for Roborovski. Edit: for everyone that thinks I’m so dumb, I know it was a joke. I was only saying this for the people that didn’t know what robo was short for. 🤦
I’ve never had an unfriendly dwarf. I did have one “agressive” one who did nibble a bit but he still came out for me and he was fine with being held. I think that maybe with a more experienced owner (he was my second) he could’ve been perfectly friendly
My first hamster who I still have is a male Chinese hamster named Leopold . He was a bit shy but he eventually got used to me. I’ve noticed he likes a lot of bedding and is very active at night which is typical for hamsters as far as I can tell.
My Syrian always made me feel like i wasn't doing enough, not sure if it was coming from a bad situation or her nature. She was happy sometimes though and was very nice.
I personally prefer Syrian hamsters, I've had them when I was younger but would like to look after one again because I am embarrassed and horrified at how bad my past hamster care was, I was 5 or 6 and had no idea what I was doing, the pet stores don't care about the pet care they just want you to buy stuff which explains why all the cages are below the basic needs of a hamster. Having stumbled across your channel a while ago and doing more research specifically on German hamster care standards I will be building my own large DIY cage and filling it with so much bedding I can't wait. I had no idea you could rescue hamsters until I found a whole bunch up for adoption at blue cross (a rescue group)
I had a roberoski for my first and she was a tough one to tame but we had the best relationship and she was so cute, I’ve currently got a Syrian now and even though they’re a lot calmer he’s really really shy so it’s going to take longer to tame but it’s worth it :)
I got a Syrian hamster about 6 months ago and he's EXTREMELY demanding. He has a big cage with plenty of enrichment, since recently he's allowed to free roam (he returns to his own cage after a while and doesn't try to escape). The free roaming seems to have finally satisfied his needs.
I have a winter white Campbell's hybrid and the FIRST day i got him he climbed into my hand (without me trying to get him to) and wasn't scared or timid at all, He's very sweet💕
Haven't been around hamster's really in some year's I've did plenty of research on there needs and wants a Robo Dwarf hamster is the one I'm really wanting
My robo is adorable but he never really has been tamed despite my attempts to . His sister (winter/Campbell) is a sweetheart and super tame . Just for a different experience to help you decide
I had 4 robos. I got two "females" from petco. One was actually a male and they started mating like 6 months after I bought them. I got 2 surprise babies. My two dominant females (mom and daughter) were grouchy. The daughter bit my thumb once and my thumb started squirting blood. Mom never bit me but she bit everyone else. My male was hulk in disguise and cool. My smallest female was the sweetest thing. They all had different personalities so it's really a gamble on what you get. I always see robos on offerup or craigslist for free so if you want to rescue instead!
00 2 Wow you’re lucky, my dad started off with just petting her but she would bite really hard. He started using these gloves to try to pick her up so she becomes more comfortable around us, and we tried to do it as much as possible to help her and it actually worked. I believe it took around 2-3 weeks for her to stop biting though, she was really nervous the first weeks. But now she never bites us and i can pick her up with no gloves, she loves being out of her cage and playing with us.
When we brought home our hamster, we left him alone for about 3 days, then on day 4 when we slowly tried to pick him up, he didn’t even move or jump! I’m grateful to have a really nice hamster now because my old one wasn’t tamed at all until a month before he died :’(
My winter white hamster bit me when i got overly eager with him when i first got him after weeks of work trying to bond with him, so i had to start from scratch to build our bond and eventually i started handling him regularly and he never bit me again. He passed 2016 but i miss him to this day, he was the sweetest 💜
In my family’s experience, dwarf hamsters bite a bit more because they were like, ‘look but don’t touch’ whereas the Syrians we had were always looking for attention and climbing up people 😂
Plants have feelings to. They tried screaming towards plants and give bad energy during research. The plants died within 3 weeks. I thinks the best beginner pets are wild birds. If they don’t like you they will just fly away. Just dont let them bath in warm water during cold periods. That is about the only thing that can go wrong.
I have a robo dwarf, and since without you, she probably would have lived a short and sad life, I decided to name her Tater Tot! She is almost 4 months old, and is my best friend. She is still a little scared of me, but she know I won’t hurt her, and will come up to me when I open the lid of her cage. She has yet to climb on my hand, but we’re getting there, and I hope everything goes well. Thank you for informing me on the proper care of a hamster, and without you, I would never have really gotten a hamster.
I had a robo and that was my first hamster ever and he was really cute and he got tamed in only 3 days I don’t know why people don’t like robos that much anyway unfortunately he passed away and he lived for 2 years Rest In Peace lil buddy😭😭
My winter white hamster is very sweet. The lady that helped us look at the hamsters said that the winter white hamsters are mean and they bite a lot witch is very surprising for how sweet mine is. You cant assume that the whole breed is that way. I’m so glad that you did the same in your video. ❤️
when we got a winter white several years ago thr petco worker kept talking about how scary her red eyes were and how it would be mean (in front of my 4 year old who wanted it for his birthday)... continued to do so despite me explaining I wake up at 430 am to go to work and it would get plenty of hand training even if that was true... she was clearly traumatized from some pet she had. that hamster was sweet and only nibbled during the first week of bonding. the robo I got after her bit way harder
My first hamster was a syrian, and she was a doll. I could handle her, she trusted me. She loved saying hi every morning to me from her aquarium, but then she started escaping it so I got her a more square footage two story cage and she loved it. She was my sweetheart. Lived to two
I got a dwarfhamster like two weeks ago, and he was so easy to tame!! He's really curious and often come out from his nest to say hello or play/cuddle. Currently he is 10 weeks old! 😍🐹❤
I got a chinese dwarf hamster last year for christmas after researching for months on your channel, and she’s the sweetest! I was told that she’d be skittish and it would take a while for her to trust me, but after she adjusted to my house and her new cage, she never bit or was shy with me, and even comes out sometimes during the daytime!
Hi you are a really good UA-camr and I use to have one of those bad cages and I kept on watching your videos and now I don’t have the best but I do the best i can so you have a little hamster with better care
My first hamster was a robo, she was so outgoing and cute. She would sit on my shoulder and come out of hiding when she heard people talking, she is the reason I got another hamster. I miss you, Bean
My first two hamsters were winter whites (probably hybrid too) but they made me fall head over heels in love with hamsters. They were the best little boys ever and my third was a Syrian who I loved so much that it traumatized me when he died and 11 years later I’m finally ready to get a new hamster 🐹
I had one cambell dwarf which was quite mean to me theyre whole life, i was starting to think they were all like that until i got a winter white hybrid. She was the sweetest little girl ever, never bit me, always very calm. Didn't even try to run off most of the time, and even fell asleep next to me twice. Snowflake will be missed. ❤️
I know Syrian hamsters are actually quite hard to please my hamster is like that but when u play with her she seems pleased but idk however after u play with her she gets super hyper so when u play with her she gets fast and climbs ur back but she does loved being cuddled ❤️❤️
My Friend has winter white hamster (probably a hybrid) And she is sooo sweet she is very calm and Loves to sit on ur lap but her other hamster is a dwarf and she Really doesn’t like to be played with she loves to be alone
Syrian hamsters are just the "entitled" hamsters of their species.. Mine is spoiled. And he still complains.😤 An ungrateful, chunky McChicken nugget he is.
I got recommended betta fish videos,but it hurts because I recently had my betta die and he was so young (he was 13 months) ,and I think he died of fin rot I got a new betta that looks exactly like him to ease the pain. I will always remember him though, I also have a friend that has many animals but she’s a 9 year old and she takes awesome care of her animals.she has two dogs, a few cats,a turtle,a tortoise,and two bunnies
I have a 9 month old Syrian hamster named Princely...yup, very hard to please, she's very solitary and doesn't really liked being picked up and even now still tries to escape but isn't aggressive. We have a pretty good relationship, I talk to her every day, let her taste different things and let her dictate what she wants and what her boundaries are. Her sister, who is from the same litter, is quite hyper, more affectionate and mischievious.
@@Mr.Almosteverywhere I have a Robo, They are a little fluff ball full of energy, they can escape easily tho. Mine is kinda tame but its still skittish. You have to be really patient with them. So I kinda recommend but not for your first Hamster
@@Mr.Almosteverywhere if you do a lot of research and know to get a big cage, any hamster is a good first time hamster. But robos are a handful! Id probably recommend a winter white or a syrian because they are usually the most calm! (Not all of course)
@@Mr.Almosteverywhere it is great one thing is when you take them out they run around you so get a playpen or a hamster ball but they are so sweet and cute!
Its been a month sense i got my first hamster ( winter white) and he just started to go in my hand and stay with me. He’s so nice and i love him so much❤️
i think the whole picture of hamsters on instagram is distorted: typically hamsters hate lying on their back. also, i saw so many videos where hamsters were kept together with 10 more hamsters. this can be very dangerous :( and everytime I see hamster videos in which the hamsters have to live in a small plastic cage, it breaks my heart
Almost a year ago now I really got the urge to get a hamster. I was immediately drawn to a specific little dwarf at the pet store. I left without him that day but couldn’t stop thinking about him, and ended up going the next day. I never even had to train him at all. He is the sweetest little guy and I just adore him. Since day one he has loved to sit in my hand eating treats, and sometimes sleeps in the sleeve of my rob. He even comes out of his burrowed spots when he hears my voice. Anyway, since buying him a year ago I’ve been watching your videos and enjoy them all. 😍
Aww that’s so cute but I suggest not getting any animals for pet stores bc they will come from breeding mills instead you could get them from responsible breeders or rescue shelters or adopt one!❤❤❤
Believe me I would if I could. I always get my bunnies from a breeder and both my dogs are rescues from a shelter. My hamsters however I get at a pet store.
The only hamsters I've owned so far are syrians, I love them, but another thing to keep into consideration when getting one is that it's typically harder and often more expensive to get them the right sized toys and wheels for them since they're much bigger than dwarfs
That’s interesting because my Syrian (who is from petco) seems to be fine in a 40 gallon tank. I give him wheat sprays, boredom breakers, sand baths, chews, and all sorts of toys and all he does in run on his wheel, dig in his sand bath, and burrow, and he’s a happy ham. He honestly for me is a great beginner hamster.
i have a winter white dwarf hamster and they have only bitten me a couple times. they do have a lot of energy but they are so cute and sweet!! i def recommended as long as you are okay with them not wanting to cuddle. ❤️
Our two Dwarfs are the best example for 'every hamster has his own personality'. One is super lazy and loves to just sit on the hand an nibble a snack. The other is a fluffy version of Flash that just can not sit still. Both of them are absolutely adorable and never bit us in the year that they are with us now.
Cynthia Martinez I know right! His name is Milo and for the longest time he was stuck in a critter trail. I never saw him bite bars, despite the obvious need of room. He has been moved and is much more enriched and equally as cute!!!
Me: looks at my Syrian who pees all over his bath , chews the bars every night, escapes his cage , and bites whenever you try to lay him on his stomach to give him a little check up.
I got my first hamster today, at 22. She’s a beautiful all white Robo. I’m perfectly ok if she never becomes calm and tame, but she’s already SO sweet. I think her temperament is really fantastic, which is why I picked her.
I had a robo, I didn't know any thing about hamsters, i had small cage, it was kept with a different gender of the same breed, and chewed the bars, I am an idiot
my cambells dwarf hamster is really friendly & doesn’t bite me anymore and he is also well liked by my family members & my friends !! he’s super sweet & cute
My friend has a dwarf and he is really friendly and my Syrian hamster is really shy and skiddish but I managed to pick him up for about 6 seconds before he jumped
After keeping both Syrian and Russian dwarf hamsters - I'm definitely more team dwarf. The two I have at the moment (kept separately) are really affectionate. When they are free roaming they always try to climb on me. 🥺
My mother bought my daughter a Chinese hamster for her first pet. She's 5. It's also my first time having a hamster. Her name is sweetie and she is indeed very sweet. We've only had her for 3 weeks now and I'm enjoying taking care of her and showing and learning with my daughter about her

Did you mean to put a comma in between supper and dangerous? Because I was honestly about to write a 3 paragraph argument about how a dog can be more dangerous than a hamster.
Ruby Robinson thanks I’ll do that. By the way I’m a dog and hamster person, so I know what you mean by more dangerous. 😂
One of my favorite hamsters was a male robo . He never bit me. He just passed away in His sleep last night. He was a big part of our family.
I'm sorry for your loss :(
Oh I’m sorry 😢
im so sorry. he sounded lovely💗
Condolences
Aw sorry for your loss
"i have been bitten less by dwarfs than i have by syrians"
well that's getting taken out of context
Lmao

I got a dwarf hamster/Campbells dwarf hamster. He is so cute and nice. He’s bitten me 2 but that was at the start and didn’t really trust me because I adopted him from a pretty bad owner that hadn’t done their research and followed what the pets at home had said. I have given him the correct things and keep him safe from everything they did(they gave him cedar shavings, 420 floor space. He is now tamed and has everything he needs I’ve just been able to get him a sand bath and amazing enrichment(not as much as Victoria). I’m going to get him a bigger cage in a few weeks( zoo zone 2).
I have a video suggestion! Can you make a HOW NOT TO SET UP A HAMSTER CAGE. I think it would be such a informative video for beginners!
ooh yes, great idea!
that would be an amazing idea for beginners!
@@millie-pj3st Exactly! I'm getting my first hamster soon and that would be a super helpful video
@@Caroline-pf8ot what species of hamster are you getting? I have a syrian 😊
@@millie-pj3st Syrian! There's a breeder fairly close to me
i’m a thirteen year old girl,i got a robo for my first hamster, i’ve only had him for a bit but he’s super nice, he was a little skittish at first but the second day i started trying to tame him he plopped down on my hand and started grooming himself. i think that like victoria said, a creature isn’t defined by its species, it’s defined by itself
This is like the same exact situation that happened for me I am also a thirteen year old girl who’s first hamster was a robo but my hammy was very timid and it took maybe two weeks to get her to be comfortable enough to groom herself on me but she would climb on my hand and take food from me from the get go
Just because aberrations exist that doesn't mean the general species typing is incorrect.
how is he doing now??
Same, I'm a thirteen year old girl and I got a roborovski hamster as my first hamster. Sometimes it will groom itself on my hand.
@@liatheprettiest Because it's true and it's funny how we're a thirteen year old girl and we got our first hamster as a roborovski hamster.
I got a dwarf roborovski as my first hamster and she was perfect. She trusted me and allowed me to hold her and pick her up very quickly and never really bit me. I loved her so much and am happy that I was able to give her a good home.
She unfortunately passed away in March and I miss her every day 😔😭
I’m sorry for your loss. My first hamster was a Syrian and she unfortunately died after a year of living. Now I have 2 robo hamsters both girls.
Aw im so sorry. Ive had the same EXACT experience, but mine died yesterday😭😭😭😭🌷🌺
Sorry for your loss rip
That’s super sad that she died🥺🥺🥺
@Bryan Au any updates or improvements ?
6:17 Yes finally! So many people say “I hate cats because one attacked me” or “dogs are mean and they love biting people” but they just had one bad experience and that doesn’t mean the whole species is terrible and evil. Also it was prolly because they had bad dog/cat body language or they approached an animal who was clearly scared
I wouldn't say it's the person's fault if they get bitten by a dog. I was walking home from work once and saw a woman throwing a ball for a dog in the park. They were like 50 metres away and I didn't think anything of it and kept walking. Next thing I know the dog is behind me and bit me on the back of the leg. I freeze because I know the worst thing to do is try and run away. It was circling me nipping and scratching my legs. The owner was running up to us and when she got close the dog took off down the street. I love dogs btw. None of my dogs ever attacked people.
@@Kizzabell I didn’t mean it’s always the humans fault, but some people just walk up to dogs they’ve never met and start petting.
Many people say chiwawas are mean but they usually piss them off making them angry soda pets has a chiwawa and it's so sweet
The closest thing I’ve gotten to having a close relationship with my hamster is petting it for like 3 minutes
😂
How about 15 secs lol
oh my god lucky my hamster is so scared of me whenever i take a step he jumps bk and looks my way pretty sure he is a spy ham
😂😂😂😂😂
Mine would run away
I have a winter white dwarf hamster and she’s really calm and sweet she is my first hamster and she never bites

I got my winter white a few days ago, he’s such a sweet heart and let me pet him, he even sat on my palm.
A little while ago I got my winter white, everytime i would put my hand in the cage for any reason at all she would bite me and cling on to my finger and almost always drew blood, we had to switch her out at pet smart cause she was so mean and now I have a fuzzy bear hamster, she bit me ones cause I scared her and that’s the only time she did, and luckily lol she had like snake fangs. She’s literally the nicest thing ever
@@sugamama305 I'm so sorry, I believe dwarfs are harder to tame then Syrian's ( Not too sure about this ) I'm hoping your winter white went to a new home and was tamed (probably would have taken a while ) I wish you and your syrian the best of luck! ❤️
I got a Syrian and she is a SWEATHEART, her name is Trixie we got her a few days ago she is so sweet and let's me pet her and pick her up. (she is a teddy bear hamster)
Cute
Omg same idk what she’s talking about I’ve had mine for a week now and he has never bit me and is very friendly
My first hamster is a Syrian and I’m telling you, she definitely has the energy of a robo 😂

I have a Syrian ( fancy hamster ) and he is the BEST! He's my first hamster. I've had him for almost a year now. He has a lot of energy, but he makes time for snuggles too.
Very true that ham hams are all different! My little winter white acts NOTHING like a regular dwarf.
How does he act?
Yep the pet store guy gave me a Syrian hamster because “they are the best beginner species” and I’m having a lot of problems, I’m actually selling my bookshelf and getting something to store makeup, hair stuff, and other stuff in something that rolls then moving my vanity and building a new cage to make my baby Rosie happy!!!!! I’m so stressed! She is very mean! But I’m trying to do everything!!!
I have a Campbell and he is very mean. ;(
I actually let a worker to pick my hamster and the one he picked only lasted a year with me :( I woke up to him dead idk what happened.
my hamster keeps hissing at me why??
@@teresabelshaw6694 they’re terrified by you, some hamsters are just very defensive kind of like mine. If you just got one then leave them alone for a while (a week maybe) and try again to tame them.
@@spacequeen7413 thank you for answering my txt shes started to attack me now and i wont go near her now i leave her to my daughter now😥😥😥
I had a winter white for three years. She was my first ever hamster and I named her Pepsi and she was my everything. She loved being picked up and handled and she did nibble but more out of curiosity. She was such a sweet heart. She got along with my Guinea pigs too.
Now after two years of mourning im thinking of getting a hamster again. I am debating trying something harder like the robo hamster. This video helped a lot with choosing what one I want to take on as a pet owner.
It looks like you always make the videos I need. Thank you!
yesssss
Me too!
Glad to hear that!! Thank you for watching them!

Anipanini yeah... she was fine this morning and last night, eating, running on her wheel, drinking, interacting with me, and then I came home from school, and she was dead. I don’t know how. I think she was sick, and I just didn’t notice. Maybe I could’ve prevented it.
My Syrian hamster was so energetic and I felt bad for him because he was never happy, but nevertheless I tried so hard to satisfy him. He was so friendly, and he has never bitten anyone. He is close to my heart but he's crossing the rainbow bridge now 🌈
Same my little chewy was always escaping. He was a little rascal. I miss him so much.
Sorry for your loss
Have a good life beyond the rainbow bridge, hamster :((
Last week i got a syrian hanster and omg shes so active dont know what to do. She climbs on me till my head go down climbs again on me. Like im her toy🤭 then she started to climb behind the radiator😭😭in the washmand ectr, i dont have that much energy in the night to play so long with her
I just got my first hamster yesterday (Syrian) and she was known to be a "brat" and aggressive according to the store workers. But when I took her home, she was sweetest and is already comfortable with me holding her and feeding her by hand :)
I've been watching your videos, and they really help a lot!!
Cute
Aw 💕 it's probably just streseed in the petstore lol
After owning a ton of Syrians I had bought a dwarf and I adored him he was adorable and very friendly so I guess it depends on you
I've owned my first Robo for about 7 weeks now, a month after I brought him he's taking treats from my hand and inspecting my hand when I introduce it to him; He's doing so well
I had a winter white hamster and she was the most calm and social hamster i've ever seen!!! she basically didn't need time to adjust when we brought her home and immediately started eating and drinking in front of me and she used to let everyone pet her to the point where anyone could introduce their hand to her cage and she climbed up to them with so much confidence and calmness!! (this might be because she associated this with getting treats since that's how i tamed her when she came home though, idk)
My Russian Campbell’s dwarfs are super friendly when I first picked them up they were really chill and have never bitten me
disco cat im getting one next week! im calling it jesepiee!!! 🥰🥺
I have a campbell dwarf for a year and she bit me twice and my grandma once and my grandma was only giving her water.. I’m a Syrian person and unfortunately had a bad experience with Campbell’s dwarf. And now I made a choice of taking her in the animal shelter for a home. I think for the rest of my time I’ll stick with Syrian hamsters 😅. She’s adorable though just a fiesty one.
"There not robots"
ROBO dwarf...
amin khan SHIIII
HAHAHAHA
AHAHAHAHA
Robo is short for Roborovski.
Edit: for everyone that thinks I’m so dumb, I know it was a joke. I was only saying this for the people that didn’t know what robo was short for. 🤦
Azzy-O Playz i- it’s a joke
I’ve never had an unfriendly dwarf. I did have one “agressive” one who did nibble a bit but he still came out for me and he was fine with being held. I think that maybe with a more experienced owner (he was my second) he could’ve been perfectly friendly
i hate myself, it’s the same with my Dwarf
@@hoe4han935 mine would get excited when he saw me but would bite me when I tried picking him up
My first hamster who I still have is a male Chinese hamster named Leopold . He was a bit shy but he eventually got used to me. I’ve noticed he likes a lot of bedding and is very active at night which is typical for hamsters as far as I can tell.
Yes they are nocturnal so they sleep all day and come out at night and he will appreciate as much bedding as you can give him bc they LOVE to dig❤❤❤
Victoria: Syrians are hard to please
Me: stares at the gaping hole my Syrian chewed in his new cage
OH NOOOOO
Wait what
My Syrian always made me feel like i wasn't doing enough, not sure if it was coming from a bad situation or her nature. She was happy sometimes though and was very nice.
Maybe try getting a bin cage? Your Syrian might not be able to make a hole in that one.
it was a bin cage lol. The mesh was too thin and he chewed right through it so we had to replace it with thicker mesh
I personally prefer Syrian hamsters, I've had them when I was younger but would like to look after one again because I am embarrassed and horrified at how bad my past hamster care was, I was 5 or 6 and had no idea what I was doing, the pet stores don't care about the pet care they just want you to buy stuff which explains why all the cages are below the basic needs of a hamster. Having stumbled across your channel a while ago and doing more research specifically on German hamster care standards I will be building my own large DIY cage and filling it with so much bedding I can't wait. I had no idea you could rescue hamsters until I found a whole bunch up for adoption at blue cross (a rescue group)
My hamsters so nice he sleeps in my lap or is very curious around me instead of running he is a very curious hamster and he’s a Syrian
I had a roberoski for my first and she was a tough one to tame but we had the best relationship and she was so cute, I’ve currently got a Syrian now and even though they’re a lot calmer he’s really really shy so it’s going to take longer to tame but it’s worth it :)
I COMPLETELY agree with you 100%!💛
i have a robo as my first, i am thirteen and he loves to be handled. he doesn't have a crazy amount of energy.
all depends on their personality ☺️
You picked a good one.
Do you recommend getting one? I’m thinking of getting one but idk if I should
Emily Thorne YES!! Make sure to do your research!
@@emilythorne4564 They are very quick.
I got a Syrian hamster about 6 months ago and he's EXTREMELY demanding. He has a big cage with plenty of enrichment, since recently he's allowed to free roam (he returns to his own cage after a while and doesn't try to escape). The free roaming seems to have finally satisfied his needs.
I have a winter white Campbell's hybrid and the FIRST day i got him he climbed into my hand (without me trying to get him to) and wasn't scared or timid at all, He's very sweet💕
Haven't been around hamster's really in some year's I've did plenty of research on there needs and wants a Robo Dwarf hamster is the one I'm really wanting
I love my robo he's so cute and friendly. If he hears my voice he comes over to me 😍
My robo is adorable but he never really has been tamed despite my attempts to . His sister (winter/Campbell) is a sweetheart and super tame . Just for a different experience to help you decide
@@tianarooney8827 thanks
I had 4 robos. I got two "females" from petco. One was actually a male and they started mating like 6 months after I bought them. I got 2 surprise babies. My two dominant females (mom and daughter) were grouchy. The daughter bit my thumb once and my thumb started squirting blood. Mom never bit me but she bit everyone else. My male was hulk in disguise and cool. My smallest female was the sweetest thing. They all had different personalities so it's really a gamble on what you get. I always see robos on offerup or craigslist for free so if you want to rescue instead!
@@BatmanPwnage offer up? Had no idea and yeah I've seen a few on Craigslist to
When ever I get a hamster I let the hamster choose me😊by letting them like walk onto my hand 🐹
smart thank you ill try that when i pick mine out
*Harry Potter vibes*
I didn’t have to tame my hamster, it took him 1 day to trust us
You do know you need to leave them alone for 2-3 days and sometimes even more
00 2 Wow you’re lucky, my dad started off with just petting her but she would bite really hard. He started using these gloves to try to pick her up so she becomes more comfortable around us, and we tried to do it as much as possible to help her and it actually worked. I believe it took around 2-3 weeks for her to stop biting though, she was really nervous the first weeks. But now she never bites us and i can pick her up with no gloves, she loves being out of her cage and playing with us.
crybaby that’s so sweet. I’m glad you were patient with your hammy
Lucky you ours bite bloody for 2 weeks
When we brought home our hamster, we left him alone for about 3 days, then on day 4 when we slowly tried to pick him up, he didn’t even move or jump! I’m grateful to have a really nice hamster now because my old one wasn’t tamed at all until a month before he died :’(
My winter white hamster bit me when i got overly eager with him when i first got him after weeks of work trying to bond with him, so i had to start from scratch to build our bond and eventually i started handling him regularly and he never bit me again. He passed 2016 but i miss him to this day, he was the sweetest 💜
In my family’s experience, dwarf hamsters bite a bit more because they were like, ‘look but don’t touch’ whereas the Syrians we had were always looking for attention and climbing up people 😂
5:14 lol that Robo was smart, it said I’m sick of running this way and getting nowhere, I’m going the other way.
I’ve only ever had Syrians, I’m scared I’m gonna lose the dwarfs or something
Creature Corner right? They are SO SMALL and fast!!!
BatmanPwnage they escaped because the cage was too small
BatmanPwnage do you even watch this channel? I would maybe pay attention
Creature Corner I’d say get one that is pre owned so they’re more likely to be tame I loved mine
Creature Corner you can have Chinese hamster because they don’t like to get out of their cages
I know the best beginner pet!
Plants 🌱
nah m8 it’s the robotic clam-
Plants have feelings to. They tried screaming towards plants and give bad energy during research. The plants died within 3 weeks. I thinks the best beginner pets are wild birds. If they don’t like you they will just fly away. Just dont let them bath in warm water during cold periods. That is about the only thing that can go wrong.
I have a robo dwarf, and since without you, she probably would have lived a short and sad life, I decided to name her Tater Tot! She is almost 4 months old, and is my best friend. She is still a little scared of me, but she know I won’t hurt her, and will come up to me when I open the lid of her cage. She has yet to climb on my hand, but we’re getting there, and I hope everything goes well. Thank you for informing me on the proper care of a hamster, and without you, I would never have really gotten a hamster.
victoria’s roborovski hamster’s name is tater tot too
Tate mcrae ref?
I had a robo and that was my first hamster ever and he was really cute and he got tamed in only 3 days I don’t know why people don’t like robos that much anyway unfortunately he passed away and he lived for 2 years Rest In Peace lil buddy😭😭
people don't like robos OMG how can u not like robos they r the cutest little things ever
Mine sadly lived 2 months and she was so much like urs
My winter white hamster is very sweet. The lady that helped us look at the hamsters said that the winter white hamsters are mean and they bite a lot witch is very surprising for how sweet mine is. You cant assume that the whole breed is that way. I’m so glad that you did the same in your video. ❤️
when we got a winter white several years ago thr petco worker kept talking about how scary her red eyes were and how it would be mean (in front of my 4 year old who wanted it for his birthday)... continued to do so despite me explaining I wake up at 430 am to go to work and it would get plenty of hand training even if that was true... she was clearly traumatized from some pet she had.
that hamster was sweet and only nibbled during the first week of bonding. the robo I got after her bit way harder
My first hamster was a syrian, and she was a doll. I could handle her, she trusted me. She loved saying hi every morning to me from her aquarium, but then she started escaping it so I got her a more square footage two story cage and she loved it. She was my sweetheart. Lived to two
I got a dwarfhamster like two weeks ago, and he was so easy to tame!! He's really curious and often come out from his nest to say hello or play/cuddle. Currently he is 10 weeks old! 😍🐹❤
All hamsters are perfect!
Absolutely! !!!
So soon, as a 21 year old, I will be fulfilling one of my childhood dream of having a hamster! XD can't wait! your videos are very helpful!
Congrats 🎉❤️good luck!!!
I got a chinese dwarf hamster last year for christmas after researching for months on your channel, and she’s the sweetest! I was told that she’d be skittish and it would take a while for her to trust me, but after she adjusted to my house and her new cage, she never bit or was shy with me, and even comes out sometimes during the daytime!
Hi you are a really good UA-camr and I use to have one of those bad cages and I kept on watching your videos and now I don’t have the best but I do the best i can so you have a little hamster with better care
Am getting a hamster for my birthday! It’s going to be my first pet.
How is it going
how did it go?
My Syrian- *gets a tank and loads of chew toys yet still tries to escape*
You- "they are not easy to please"
Me- "ah yep"
My first hamster was a robo, she was so outgoing and cute. She would sit on my shoulder and come out of hiding when she heard people talking, she is the reason I got another hamster. I miss you, Bean
My first two hamsters were winter whites (probably hybrid too) but they made me fall head over heels in love with hamsters. They were the best little boys ever and my third was a Syrian who I loved so much that it traumatized me when he died and 11 years later I’m finally ready to get a new hamster 🐹
I had one cambell dwarf which was quite mean to me theyre whole life, i was starting to think they were all like that until i got a winter white hybrid. She was the sweetest little girl ever, never bit me, always very calm. Didn't even try to run off most of the time, and even fell asleep next to me twice. Snowflake will be missed. ❤️
I know Syrian hamsters are actually quite hard to please my hamster is like that but when u play with her she seems pleased but idk however after u play with her she gets super hyper so when u play with her she gets fast and climbs ur back but she does loved being cuddled ❤️❤️
My Friend has winter white hamster (probably a hybrid)
And she is sooo sweet she is very calm and Loves to sit on ur lap but her other hamster is a dwarf and she
Really doesn’t like to be played with she loves to be alone
Syrian hamsters are just the "entitled" hamsters of their species.. Mine is spoiled. And he still complains.😤 An ungrateful, chunky McChicken nugget he is.
I grudgingly admit I'm like a Syrian hamster.
It hurts i just got this in my recommend and my hamster died week ago
kanał zamknięty same 🥺
same here✌😭
How old did they get
IZAN DA POO POO they live for about 3 years if they have proper care .
I got recommended betta fish videos,but it hurts because I recently had my betta die and he was so young (he was 13 months) ,and I think he died of fin rot I got a new betta that looks exactly like him to ease the pain. I will always remember him though, I also have a friend that has many animals but she’s a 9 year old and she takes awesome care of her animals.she has two dogs, a few cats,a turtle,a tortoise,and two bunnies
ahh we brazilians were so happy and excited with the subtitles, thank you so much for thinking about us too ❤️❤️
I have a 9 month old Syrian hamster named Princely...yup, very hard to please, she's very solitary and doesn't really liked being picked up and even now still tries to escape but isn't aggressive. We have a pretty good relationship, I talk to her every day, let her taste different things and let her dictate what she wants and what her boundaries are. Her sister, who is from the same litter, is quite hyper, more affectionate and mischievious.

@@Mr.Almosteverywhere if you do a lot of research and know to get a big cage, any hamster is a good first time hamster. But robos are a handful! Id probably recommend a winter white or a syrian because they are usually the most calm! (Not all of course)

Its been a month sense i got my first hamster ( winter white) and he just started to go in my hand and stay with me. He’s so nice and i love him so much❤️
Everytime i try to put my hamster back in his cage he will climed my arms
And it’s annoying but cute 🥰
first ❤️ thanks for the vid , i love it ❤️❤️
Thank you!!
i think the whole picture of hamsters on instagram is distorted: typically hamsters hate lying on their back. also, i saw so many videos where hamsters were kept together with 10 more hamsters. this can be very dangerous :( and everytime I see hamster videos in which the hamsters have to live in a small plastic cage, it breaks my heart
Almost a year ago now I really got the urge to get a hamster. I was immediately drawn to a specific little dwarf at the pet store. I left without him that day but couldn’t stop thinking about him, and ended up going the next day. I never even had to train him at all. He is the sweetest little guy and I just adore him. Since day one he has loved to sit in my hand eating treats, and sometimes sleeps in the sleeve of my rob. He even comes out of his burrowed spots when he hears my voice.
Anyway, since buying him a year ago I’ve been watching your videos and enjoy them all. 😍
Awww girl that sounds so cute😭❤️ I’m thinking about getting one but I’m hesitating because I’ve never owned a pet before!
Aww! Having pets is the most rewarding thing in my opinion! I never wanted kids, but am so drawn to animals! I just love them!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow living my dream
Aww that’s so cute but I suggest not getting any animals for pet stores bc they will come from breeding mills instead you could get them from responsible breeders or rescue shelters or adopt one!❤❤❤
Believe me I would if I could. I always get my bunnies from a breeder and both my dogs are rescues from a shelter. My hamsters however I get at a pet store.
**people playing with their hamsters**
me: -casually staring into my hamsters soul-
The only hamsters I've owned so far are syrians, I love them, but another thing to keep into consideration when getting one is that it's typically harder and often more expensive to get them the right sized toys and wheels for them since they're much bigger than dwarfs
Yes! Got my Syrian boy a $25 wodent wheel but he loves it so much that it was definitely worth it . And it's silent!
That’s interesting because my Syrian (who is from petco) seems to be fine in a 40 gallon tank. I give him wheat sprays, boredom breakers, sand baths, chews, and all sorts of toys and all he does in run on his wheel, dig in his sand bath, and burrow, and he’s a happy ham. He honestly for me is a great beginner hamster.
i have a winter white dwarf hamster and they have only bitten me a couple times. they do have a lot of energy but they are so cute and sweet!! i def recommended as long as you are okay with them not wanting to
cuddle. ❤️
I love how she explains it so well
i agree because my first hamster was a Syrian and it was a lot more hyper and bit me more than my dwarf.
I have found all types of Hammies to be equally sweet, but I think it's more about the Hammie and how they're treated rather than the breed...
Our two Dwarfs are the best example for 'every hamster has his own personality'.
One is super lazy and loves to just sit on the hand an nibble a snack. The other is a fluffy version of Flash that just can not sit still. Both of them are absolutely adorable and never bit us in the year that they are with us now.
“Syrians can be hard to please.”
Me: looks at my adorable angel Syrian that has never chewed on a bar once even when I had an unsuitable cage.
Cynthia Martinez I know right! His name is Milo and for the longest time he was stuck in a critter trail. I never saw him bite bars, despite the obvious need of room. He has been moved and is much more enriched and equally as cute!!!
Me: looks at my Syrian who pees all over his bath , chews the bars every night, escapes his cage , and bites whenever you try to lay him on his stomach to give him a little check up.
@Cynthia Martinez ik I'm working on it
@Cynthia Martinez I updated his cage I hope he likes it
When I got my first hamster a campbells dwarf, it was so nice and I only took a week to tame it, she’s super nice and friendly…
And soft
I got my first hamster today, at 22. She’s a beautiful all white Robo. I’m perfectly ok if she never becomes calm and tame, but she’s already SO sweet. I think her temperament is really fantastic, which is why I picked her.
My hamster is crawling on me as we speak (she is a lovely Syrian hammie)
I had a robo, I didn't know any thing about hamsters, i had small cage, it was kept with a different gender of the same breed, and chewed the bars, I am an idiot
my cambells dwarf hamster is really friendly & doesn’t bite me anymore and he is also well liked by my family members & my friends !! he’s super sweet & cute
My friend has a dwarf and he is really friendly and my Syrian hamster is really shy and skiddish but I managed to pick him up for about 6 seconds before he jumped
Other people: well my hamster is so small so they don't need a big cage
Me: anxiety goes crazy I HATE WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT!!!!
Same
After keeping both Syrian and Russian dwarf hamsters - I'm definitely more team dwarf. The two I have at the moment (kept separately) are really affectionate. When they are free roaming they always try to climb on me. 🥺
