Pets: Wild At Heart
We may think of our pets like another member of the family - but they exist in a secret world that we would hardly recognise. In this series new filming techniques reveal our pets' wild behaviour and natural abilities. Using the latest filming techniques, from spycams to thermal imaging and moving x-rays, this series reveals why just a small select group of animals have the perfect characteristics to become human companions. The first episode shows how our pets use play to get in touch with their wild side, while the second episode shows how our pets maintain links with their wild nature.

Make this video like 2 more hours longer

Someone's Bored!
Abinta Ardha - why do you want it to be 'like' 2 hours longer? You want it 1 hour 59 mins longer or 2 hours 1 min longer?
Mark Fox lol. What put me off was the word “more”. People nowadays can’t even English anymore, and I’m not even a native speaker. “2 more hours longer” 🤦🏻♂️
LOL they are so cute
The hamster:this isn't your wheel..
*it's OUR wheel*
That's why we call them Sovie- uh.. I mean Russian hamster
The all new Tesla Model H. 4 wheel drive powered by running hamsters.
Ok, let me just educate you guys:
*this is a Roborovski hamster not a Russian dwarf
*They can NOT be housed together as they will fight
*This wheel is too small and needs to be upgraded
*They need at least two wheels if you have 2 hamsters
*That food just looks horrible, no variety, low quality etc
*if a hamster flips on there wheel it’s a sign it needs to be upgraded
*the cage looks to small, especially for the amount of hamsters are in it
*When they begin fighting they need to be separated immediately before one kills the other
*I can’t get over how bad that food is omg
*You need to scatter feed if you have multiple hamsters especially (u should scatter feed anyways) since one hamster will become territorial over the bowl, meaning the others won’t get food and fights will break out
*With him flipping like that he can injure himself; and desperately needs an upgrade
*this is literally abuse
*too much food
Just a bad video with so many lies about hamsters. Go watch Victoria Raechel instead.
Love this comment.
@@NatashaCine aha thank you! Xx
Hamster: *I AM SPEED*
feeding them unhealthy food, keeping them in a terribly small cage, keeping around 5 hamsters in the same together. we love us some unproper hamster care.
I think there are only 3 BUT STILL! HORRIBLE HAMSTER CARE AND THEY ARE PROMOTING IT.
These are ‘ Robo hamsters ‘ and as the video says, they aren’t the ‘most’ social because they are solitary animals, you should never house any hamsters together unless they are babies, if you want social animals get fancy mice

“Russian hamsters can run 10km every night”
My hamster: 3 feet, take it or leave it
How big is your enclosure?
topsy matthews I’m taking about when he is in his wheel also all I can remember about his cage is that it’s big enough for my hamster and he loves it
@@sargentapplepie7099 bro, if a hamster is not covering much distance on his running wheel every night it might mean that they're sad and lethargic. Often because people over interact with them or because their enclosure is small.
Empereur Justinien I can assure you it is because he is old and doesn’t have as much energy as when he was younger (also it is just an exaggerated joke he can actually run more than 3 ft but the exaggeration made it funny)
@@empereurjustinien2082 yes and no. Some are just lazy. A hamsters activity level ranges from species, age, gender to character. Also, consider this: hamsters run around 10kms per night, because they are searching for food! And guess what happens in captivity? Right. They get tons of food without having to earn it. Their tummies are full already. Why go waste energy then?
Of course enclosure plays a huge role in this. But my hybrid male is just interested in other things. He will run for a few minutes and then eventually get bored (his enclosure is 100x50cm and has a 25cm wheel. Definitely enough.) He also has a lot of hideouts in there, even a 30cm big one with three smaller rooms in it. He used to run a lot as a baby but as he got older he just developed a bigger interest in digging tunnels in his bedding and destroying things. Cardboard and tissue paper, woodsticks, dried snacks... You give it to him, he will happily be occupied for a long while. Props his ears up happily. Then again I kept dwarfs in the same conditions and some prefered the wheel. It's not always that black and white.
When will they make a hamster wheel that can charge AA and AAA batteries? It could be free electricity for owning a hamster.

These are actually roborovski hamsters and not Russian dwarfs as the title says, these are the most active hamster species
Thats what I was thinking too!
I was looking for this comment, thank you
@@UA-camTookMyNickname.WhyNot just easier to say the species I feel considering they originate in the deserts of Central Asia and Northern Russia. Unless they have known lineage of these specific robos but then, if they are talking about specific behaviours the facts in the Vid are applied to the species I would have thought and not the fact that these featured ones are from Russian descent, plus I don't think Russian dwarfs are species, too my knowledge that's a collective term for species like Campbells, winter whites etc
@@nicolam7849
Winter whites and Campbells Russian dwarf are both of the same species. They can breed with each other and make hybrids.
However, Robos can not and its very incorrect to call Robos Russian. They're completely different species and cannot reproduce with one another.
@@appleglassjuice11 they're actually different species but both are catagorised as russian dwarfs but yes those 2 can mate together. There are 5 species of hamster. Robos only mate with each other as Syrians only mate with with each other for example. And robos are a species Russia is just one place they originate from.

these are roborofskis in the wild they life together to protect eage other, russian dwarfs cant life together but these can. not recommended however ;D
@I EAT KIDS so youre saying that they only do that, what meens that in captivaty when you dont keep the tempature to cold they dont need eageother what results off fighting intill dead becouse most of the cages they life in are to small :/
The Dumb Purple Bird Alien yes they can live together
@@godlygamer2466 yes they can but they will fight untill dead becouse they are protecting territorium. Especially females
Don Huegen Ik about hamsters these hamsters were stressed from the small space and were alittle aggressive because they were getting territorial that’s the only time besides when they first meet to find out who’s the boss when they usually fight.
Hamsters are always in quarantine
i feel that
Yeah... Poor guys. Imagine, getting around 10kms a day at least in the wild and being stuck in a big shoebox because of humans.
People shouldn't "own"/take care of an animal if they don't have at least a basic knowledge and show empathy for the animal.
What if they're used for knowledge purpose? I mean, maybe there are many people who still doesn't know about hamster's behavior and tendencies so this vid can be educational for them
I try to think the positive way though
nowaaru noire - Since they got the species wrong, the cage size wrong, the bedding depth wrong, and the number of wheels wrong (or the number of roommates wrong, which should be zero), I don’t think this video has much educational value.
BBC: hamsters aren’t the most sociable!
Me: ThEN WhY R U hoUsInG TheM ToGETHeR?
Because robos can be housed together? But it’s just not recommended
Yes but nooooooit that many in a cage that is two small for even one

Nothing like listening to Doctor Who narrate facts about a hamster
I knew it , had to scroll this far to confirm it

Yes it’s David Tennant narrating
What about Sherlock Holmes narrating facts about "pengwings"?
When you realize the hamster is flipping around the wheel because it's fun, not because he made a mistake.
They are most certainly NOT doing it for fun, hamsters, especially Robos, have problems keeping control when they try to stop on the wheel or aren't fast enough to keep running continuously.
Its not fetal for them to do this, but its not funny either and can cause harm or serious injury.
Look at the end in slowmo. He's not tripping, he's alone, he just flops onto his belly and goes for the ride.
Kookie Kookie Gacha i don’t know why they think it’s for fun 🤷🏼♀️ my robo hammie used to do that cause the he slowed down and the wheel keeps going at cause it was an 8inch wheel and he was soooo tines he would just go flying and I got really scared the first time then I was fine he recently passed tho 😥😭

Alright boys, who's going to tell them they're roboroski hamsters not Russian ones
Almost everyone in the comments
@UC2mIFikBXSksuCcv_lqQITA untrue, roboroski dwarf hamsters come from desserts in China
There are 5 species of dwarf hamster
Roboroski
Russian
Winter white
Campbells
And dungerian
All of which are distinct from each other and come from different parts of the world,, I understand its confusing, books often have misinformation or a general misunderstanding on the species they talk about because information is out dated by 5 or so years they're both dwarf hamsters but different species of dwarf hamster :)
simba the hamster Then I see that they are desert robies cuz they are like sand color and i own a Russian hamster, her name is Snow
They’re
Not me if he smacks like this 3:29
Kinda feel sorry for these little ones, they deserve much better housing, bigger, they are diggers and like at least 20 cm bedding, bigger wheels, they also need sandbaths, they are coming from deserts and even need the bathingsand, i espected that bbc should know....
And Russians are solitair, Roborovski's live in groups but can be hostile as well.
Exactly
That comment was cool. Look at me, learning new stuff every day.
Actually, since they are robos, i think that wheel is actually a decent size for them as you can see it doesn't really bend their back, but i agree with everything else
@@boyblue3485 the size isn't bad by what I can see but even if it's decent if they're going to be in a pair they will need two of everything including wheels. "Competition" as they call it here for hamsters can often mean territorial fighting to the death. Ain't cute. Hopefully it was just done for demonstration purposes though
All hamsters prefer to live alone. They don't need company or get lonely. They can tolerate each other, but it's not worth the risk.
This video is spreading a lot of dangerous misinformation and I need to clear up a few things. Firstly, these are Roborovski hamsters not to be confused with 'Russian Dwarf' hamsters, an entirely different species of hamster that can never be mixed together. Secondly, I would never personally recommend housing the same species of hamsters together anyway, even more 'sociable' species like roborovski's. When they reach a certain age they can become very territorial and this leads to fighting, often to the death. The hamsters in this video are fighting - a clear sign of stress, aggression, and territorial behaviour that can have deadly consequences. I hope I am mistaken and it's just the angle but I thought I saw a Russian Dwarf hamster in the background in the same enclosure at one point - as I explained, they are a different species of hamster that should NEVER be mixed with a Roborovski.
Hamsters are much better off on their own. If housing hamsters together they should be of the same sex and housed in a suitable enclosure and must have double of everything, i.e. 2 wheels, 2 water bottles, etc, and you should not put any levels or platforms in the cage as this encourages territorial behaviours in the hamsters. You should always have a spare cage ready to separate the hamsters as soon as fighting starts.
This enclosure is an unacceptable and inhumane cage to house hamsters in as the bare minimum sized enclosure they should be housed in is 450 square inches of continuous floor space. The RSCPA recommends over 550 square inches of continuous floor space. You can buy bin cages that meet these requirements for less than £20. A suitably sized enclosure should also contain plenty of enrichment and stimulation for the hamsters which this cage does not. Stimulation such as sand baths, wooden chews, toys, boredom breakers, hideaways, foraging, areas to explore, etc, are vital for keeping hamsters stimulated and happy.
A good section of the cage (or all of the cage if you can) should contain at least 15cm or 6 inches of safe substrate where the hamster can burrow - burrowing is a natural and healthy way the hamster can express themselves. In the video at the beginning, you show the hamsters housed in pine wood shavings which is not a safe substrate - pine wood shavings can splinter which causes injuries in the hamster - especially if ingested. When the urine mixes with the wood it also releases toxic fumes which can lead to serious respiratory infections if used long term. Even if using a safe substrate, not providing hamsters with a proper burrowing space doesn't allow them to display natural hamster behaviours.
Please do your research and stop contributing to the continued spread of misinformation on hamsters.
No one said that they are Russian dwarves. Roborovski's hamsters (robos) are Russian too, they live in Russia in wildlife and their discoverer was Russian too. You have to take your pills and chill the fисk out.
@@lapsijahti I didn't say anyone called them 'Russian dwarves' I said 'not to be confused with Russian dwarves'. That's different. Because they called them 'Russian hamsters' a lot of people will automatically think they are Russian dwarves which they are not and therefore this video is misleading. And I won't 'chill out'. These animals are one of the most neglected animals thanks to many people spreading misleading information on them - if I can help one person understand more about how to look after these beautiful animals properly then it's a job well done, and no amount of people telling me to chill out will stop me 🙃
@@purplehorse2661 thank you 😊👍🏻
@@lapsijahti It doesn't really matter if they are both from Russia, only one species is actually called a Russian hamster and the ones in the video aren't it. So if someone saw this video and then went to a pet store asking for a Russian hamster, they would get something very different.
And why are you so offended by a person correcting misinformation? I worked in a pet store and you would not believe what people do to these creatures out of sheer stupidity. It's really depressing. Take your own advice and chill out.
Good comment. Keep it up and don't listen to idiots who don't know shit. Your text proofs that you know your stuff.

BBC: hamsters aren't the most social animals.
Why are they in the same cage then???!!!
Well since they are robos, some people have more than one together which is an iffy subject since theirs 50/50 chance they will or won’t get along but it seemed that their were more than two so that wasn’t the best choice
Finally the comment I am looking for. 🐹
No one gonna talk about how the cage is too small an how you shouldn’t put two or more hamsters in the same cage??
Since everyone trying to be the ‘hero’ and correct me that there were 3 hamsters ( even tough I didn’t even watch the whole video ) then oh well, here you go-
Could have been using just for filming
Mike Bell yeah but they still get stressed by being in a small cage and they get even more stressed when there are 2 of em
Yes, the cage is extremely smalllllll and it doesn't look like it's just for filming.. plus I think I can see even more hammys in the background not just the two of them... But actually Robos can be kept together but only the same sex partners and preferably only females because males can still fight and it end up badly... Also, if you do keep two they definately neet two wheels! Giving them only one wheel and such a small enclosure could (very likely) lead to injuries and even death.. they are fragile little creatures and mostly missunderstood... :( This is a sad video sorry for the rant
Isnt there more than two shown early in the video?
It’s okay, but it’s still risky to have 2 or more hamsters live together, it’s like “ You are my sibling and I have to live with you, but if you do anything that I don’t like I won’t hesitate to hurt you “ So it’s not recommend but you can, but I would stay on the safe side tho.
That one hamster 😂 is a bully yo! u seen how he shove him by the bowl.
I heard two good punches landed - one on the wheel and the other one by the food bowl! 😁
Robo dwarves are actually the best cage mates of all the hamster. Any other breed I know and those shoves would have been blood draws.
@@RWAsur Roborovskis can also have lethal fights. That's why you should always keep a close eye on them and have a spare cage handy. Play fights can turn deadly quickly.
@@hannahlack1061 I learned the hard way with another breed but to my credit I was 7 and the internet wasn't a thing then (my parents should have done more research before getting me a 2nd one on my birthday)... But I didn't know Roborovskis could still rear ugly around others, I've only read on the internet so far that they're the only species that can house together.
Thanks for the warning mate, though I would never risk it again anyway.
@@RWAsur Aw I'm sorry to hear that. I'm super thankful for the internet because it's where I learnt most about hamster care (most pet stores aren't great unfortunately) and we all make mistakes it's normal.

1) Robos are from Russia.
2) They are called after Roborovski, Russian biologist.
Dummy.
Did the other hamster just left him without food?? :P
Nah the hamster hasn't eaten all the food it's pouched it and will carry it to a place where it stores it's food. So the hamster shouldn't starve. Although I am worried about whether these two should be caged together as their fighting can turn deadly.
@@hannahlack1061 That's true
Too small cage :( Also they are fighting and that's not cute at all. They need 2 wheels :( He keeps falling from the wheel, it's so sad :((
👏👏👏 well said
it made me laugh so much though , i couldn't help it XD BUT yes the cage is too small, the wheel is a bit on the narrow side in my opinion and hamsters should be kept alone and with tons more space! When i get one he'll have at least 750 square inches all to himself and a big wheel and tons of space to burrow!

I don't know what to say.........
Except they're both Roborovskis not Russian Dwarfs. How can 'BBC Earth' mix up two different species? Also, please do not promote housing two hamsters together it can lead to fights, if you do have more than one hamster have more than one wheel and the cage is no where near the UK's 80x50cm minimum. PLEASE , millions of people watch this, SO PROMOTE PROPER CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!! The amount of 'wildlife channels' I see doing the same thing including National Geographic who even sell tiny cages! 😡
Yasss exactly what I was going to say!
Yeah! I was wondering how they could mix up these different species . This video made me so sad because I can see multiple hamsters in the background and they’re all in a very small cage :(
It’s a Roborovski not a Russian Hamster. Please fix the title
Yea you right
Cel 999 there was one robo one Russian I was mad they should never be kept together
I thought hamsters were solitary unless you wanted litters are these types more social since I see more than one hamster in that cage?
@@velvety2006 they're definitely suppose to be solitary. Almost everything about this cage is neglect
Actually dwarfs aren't solitary but they also don't need a companion it's really just best to keep them apart 👍😄

lol
That cage really shouldn't be shown, even just for filming, it puts out a bad idea of what cage sizes should be :(
Thank you! Its like maybe 100 square inches!
@Yowatsapp 05 be sure the cage is way too small for a hamster, hamsters need lots of space and have a minimum cage size of 450 square inches of floor space
Omg someone else understands 🙏
@@pinks2793 I recommend more than that but yeah
You should have 2 wheels of them...sometimes they can fight to the death. And a BIG cage.
Hamster1: "get outta MY way!"
Hamster2: "no, YOU get outta MY way!"😂
I was cringing when they fought with each other...please please don't house any hamster together. They are better off alone. It was a cute vid nonetheless!
Having 2 or 4 roborovski hamsters isn't bad. It depends on the sex of the hamster and on that will they accept it or not.
Uhhh, no. Do your research please. It doesn’t matter the sex, you just shouldn’t keep them together period. Why risk a hamsters death? And if it depends on anything, it’s the age. Hamsters can be together when they are very young but once they reach a certain age, they can become territorial. ;)
Sophia Berger Some hamsters are able to live together, some aren’t. Syrians are territorial where some dwarfs arent, it depends on the breed of hamster. However the robo dwarf hamster which is in this video is able to live together.
@@notbroham8377 Finally, somebody who understands
Yes, technically dwarf hamsters *can* live together, but it’s not recommended. They can still become territorial even after months of living together. Why should you risk death of one of your hamsters? I don’t understand😔
This cage is way to small for even 1 hamster. If you live in the UK, the cage/enclosure needs to be a minimum of 620 square inches (4000cm2/ 80cm×50cm).
If you're in the US, the minimum is 450 square inches.
As a note, it's not a good idea to house 2 or more hamsters together. While dwarves have been able to live in pairs or groups, it's not adviced because things can go from good to ugly in a blink of an eye. It's not uncommon to hear stories of dwarves living together for months or a year+ only for the owner to check on them one day and find a severely injured or dead hamster.
Syrian hamsters need to be solitary past 8 weeks old. They may be fine to live with their litter mates up to that point.
If you do have 2 or more dwarves in 1 enclosure, it will need to be a large one (think 1000 square inches+) you will also need to have enough equipment so that each hamster has 1 (2 wheels, 2 water bottles, 2 food bowls etc) it's also advisable to have another cage on hand in case a fight does break out as they will need to be immediately seperated.
Its probably just a set for the documentary but massive thanks for pointing this out so many people dont know how much space they need :)
Maybe this was filmed somewhere where none of those rules apply
@@DK07x This is likely filmed in tne UK.
@Sacha Goldsteen Evidently you, since you cared enough to comment
Haha hamsters go run run
I'm PRAYING that isn't their actual cage
Princess Brewster me too it’s so sad how proper hamster care isn’t represented. even in the national hamster council doesn’t provide the correct information for care or welfare!!!!! i want to dedicate at least one part of my life to spreading awareness of this!! idk how tho, do u have any ideas?
my local pet stores ONLY sell cages that size or even smaller... rip :P
@@ohsehun6470 oh order online or make a bin cage
@@fantayziya6490 sadly there is nothing we can do. I want to make a petition to stop selling wrong cages for hamsters
Right!
I went to Walmart today as well and I saw a shelf full of the tiniest hamster cages near the shower items. It’s annoying how they try to shove bad care in peoples faces.
Wow a good sized wheelPet stores can't relate.😂 but that cage is to small and basically empty that needs more bedding and entertainment.
Hamsters are best kept alone, as lots of accidents can happen from babbies and them attacking each other its just safer to keep them apart as hamsters are territorial which don't appreciate a friend.
Maybe they are still Babies but i agree the cage is way to small and the wheel
@@exotischernexoten5204 no they look like adults. This breed of hamster doesn't get that big. And i wouldn't doubt for a video not knowing much about hamsters they'll put them together.
I feel like they put them together for the video. It made me anxious 😩
3:31 That was a bruh moment.
2:01
I love how they added rioting noises
Hamsters are not sociable. Not in captivity.
And these are Roborovski hamsters.
SO UR TELLING ME I HAVE A ROBOROVSKI HAMSTER AND NOT A RUSSIAN ONE
Valeria Martinez Yes. This is not a Russian hamster. It’s called a Robo
Noa Bazile omg i didn’t know that bc the pet store told me it was a russian hamster but i searched it up and russian hamsters didn’t look like mine so i asummed it was a robo but i guess i was right and i got more sure it was one after this comments
THANK YOU!
Yeah a robo.
Imagine just how fit people would be if instead of treadmills, gyms just had giant hampster wheels.
@ERA CASTE you're wrong. Imagine how fit people would be. Breakthrough.
1:23 I feel bad for the hamsters under the wheel trying to sleep
The cage is too small for all of them :c
This video is heartbreaking. First off, those are roborovski hamsters, not Russian dwarfs. They are in way to small of a cage. Hamsters need at least 450 square inches of floor space in the u.s and Canada. It’s also never a good idea to House two hamsters together. Even though it’s said you can get away with it if they are dwarfs, just don’t. Especially if they fight. And if you are going to have two, they need two of everything, and a cage that’s at least 800 square inches. The bedding you are using doesn’t look safe, and hamsters need at least 4-6 inches of bedding.
And get that poor hamster an enclosed wheel!
For a big source like you, I am very sad. Please do your research.

That ending. " YOU ATE IT ALL?" WACK!
Kris Hammer BAHAHA THIS IS GONNA BE STUCK IN MY HEAD ALL NIGHT
Lol i knew someone was gonna comment it 😂
Really disappointed in you BBC. This spreads extremely damaging and harmful misinformation about the needs of hamsters. This cage is far far too small for any breed of hamster. The RSPCA recommend a MINIMUM cage size of 80x50cm floor space. Also, hamsters should never be kept together in the same cage since they’re extremely territorial. This fighting in the video is not cute. It is deadly behaviour and often ends in one brutally killing the other. If kept in the same cage, though not recommended, they should at the very least have 2 wheels, 2 beds and 2 of all cage accessories to avoid fights.
Lol, hamster go wee
They’re robo hamsters and are able to live together.,
Who the hell cares about hamsters?

Very cute, I love Robo hamsters! Just hope that those guys get a bigger cage!
Why?
@@Rohgamu That cage is too small for one hamster, let alone the 3+ hamsters they have in there.
This cage is the Zoozone 2! Pretty sure, is 620square inches if I’m correct which is over the minimum, from looking at it tho you can’t really tell but if it is the Zoozone 2 then it’s a good cage!
Yes they should get a bigger cage and each one should get one cage so they dont kill each others. They fight in this video so next time it could be a worse fight!
That seems painful and unsafe and I don’t know if their cage is big enough.
Chewnip you’re right! The cage is way too small, especially for so many hamsters together. One hamster alone should get 450 square inches of space
@@LongingString Either way people are gonna see this and be all,
"Durrh hur, gonna buy my child a tiny pet store cage for hamster".
Plus, why not film them in an actual decent sized cage??? Not only will it show people the correct setup, but don't take them out of their environment and stress them out.
I HIGHLY doubt these hamster will go into a better cage setup, they probably just tossed them back to the pet store where they got them from.
I just want to let you know that you shouldn't feel like you have to "shut up" when trying to help educate people on better animal care. As long as you go about it in a respectful way, people should listen to you. And if they don't, it sucks, but at least you tried, and , who knows, they may think about what you've said later and decide to listen to your advice after all. (Sorry if this is weird, I just felt I needed to say that. Have a nice day/night/whatever)
The cage they are in is the Zoozone 2 which is 50x100cm so is correct. Hamsters actually need 600squared and this is just over so is a good cage!! However yeh multiple hamsters is wrong even with “Russians” eventhough these are definitely robos😂😂
@@pinkpandas8996 I heard robos can live together just fine. No?
I keep saying this. BBC video editors are just having the time of their lives putting those masterpieces together. Absolute memelords.
Not the video we asked for, but the video we needed
Sorry to disappoint you, but there's a bit of misinformation in this video. That cage is too small, specially considering the number of hamsters in there, and the hamsters are not Russian hamsters, but Roboroskies.
That being said, have some more cute hamster videos!:

@@Rohgamu Do you own a dwarf hamster? Do you know what happens if they fall off the wheel at a high speed?
I agree. I have two dwarf hamsters and I've always been scared of them going too fast. Thankfully mine are older and dont go on as often. But watching the robos makes my heart hurt. They're durable little things but if they fall the wrong way 😞
There needs to be more high quality documentaries on hamsters, id love to see one on how they live in the wild
I was doing an all-nighter and my hamster Hamilton literally ran on it’s wheel for 9 hours! He just stops to take sips of water or lay flat like a pancake for a few minutes. That was when he was just 5 months old. Now he’s 2 years and 5 months old he doesn’t run as much but still in great condition 😁

Thats actually a robo hamster, not Russian. And those hamsters should not be caged together, its dangerous for them. Hamsters are solitary animals and will likely fight. Even if a fight hasint broke out yet its not worth the risk.

Those are actually Roborovski hamsters , a Russian Campbell’s Dwarf hamster would be bigger and usually dusty or dark grey .
Molly Thomas , I was aware of that lol , that’s why I said “usually” . But yes u r right they can come in a variety of colors, I had one and he was dusty grey . But they had white and tan ones too
It is inhumane to not provide a wheel for a caged hamster. They are living in an environment that is an extremely tiny fraction of the size of the natural environment where hamsters evolved. They deserve to have a wheel where they can run as fast as they want. The wheel surface should be solid without spaces because if there are spaces their legs can slip through and get caught and injured by a wheel that is spinning fast. And the diameter of the wheel should be wide enough so their back doesn’t bend backwards at all while they are running. If their backs bend backwards while running at high speed for a long time that places excessive stress on the hamster’s spine.
That is an awful cage... hamsters need at least 450 square inches of floor space and levels don’t count, they also need a minimum of 6 inches of safe bedding and you shouldn’t have more than one hamster in a cage as they do better alone... they can fight with each other and get hurt really easily.
I'm loving the amount of hamster owners trying to educate in the comments :) ty!
hamsters should not be homed together
Species matters. Dwarf hamsters, excluding chinese, are sometimes safe. Depending on individual temperament, of course. Syrians & chinese dwarfs without exception should live solitary.
I've successfully kept mother/daughter/sister groups. Much annoyed squeaking (eg. when another is playing keep-away with a shelled walnut), but rarely anything worrisome.
Father/son/brother? Mature males have always eventually become aggressive towards other mature males. At which point I separate them permanently. Risk > benefit.
But for a year or less, they nest together, participate in mutual grooming, play wrestle, and so on.
My girls are far more attached to each other than me. Our relationship is of tolerance & respect.
My boys are cuddle-bugs, all actively seek affection & play. I provide worse companionship than a fellow hamster. Curse hormones.
More worried about the food dish. With the exception of low-value pellets, it is an incredible waste of enrichment. :(
Who else remembers this scene from Pirates of the Caribbean
I do
One of the best scenes in Dead Man's Chest! 😂😂

I’m looking forward to having hamsters. I’ve always wanted one. I won’t get one until I have a big enclosure for it though. I want to give it as natural an environment as possible

You better do that, I had mine run free in my backyard until one discovered a hole I hadn't. Never seen him again :(
Do you watch Erin's Animals?
Hamsters should live alone an have at least 450 square inches of space. That’s why this video makes me upset :(
Look at the white “eyebrow” markings on top of the eyes those tell you that they are roborovski dwarf hamsters and that cage doesn’t seem suitable for 2-6 hamsters
I hope that the cage was just for the video and that they actually have good cages
Not even for half a hamster...
Who cares
@@rodrigoavalos3656 rude
@@rodrigoavalos3656 I know most people probably don’t care about these small animals, but if you have them as a pet I’d assume you’d want to take care of them properly. They’re fairly recently domesticated so the idea that they “don’t need much space cause they’re small” is false. If you lived your whole life in captivity you’d probably at least want your cell to be big.
Hamsters aren’t suppose to be kept together once weened they are social and can fight
lyktah lyktah Depends on the type of hamster. Robos can be kept in single sex groups, although they’re perfectly happy on their own so it’s probably not worth the risk.
lyktah lyktah depends on the type teddy bears are the only aggressive ones but still can be peaceful robots and winter whites are the kindest hamsters.
It's a shame they're promoting hamsters being kept together. Even though robos technically can be kept together, it is never advisable to keep them together because without the proper knowledge they can fight and cause a lot of damage to each other, so you're right in saying they shouldn't be kept together!

Astrid Porelius because the substrate of their cage is sand like the inside of the wheel gets filled quickly from the paws, then it spreads all over the wheel!
Can't they promote good hamster care??
topsy matthews yea exactly!!!
My two gerbils always used to hold a paw into the wheel and wait a little, then press down in the right moment to stop it in a way where the other one that was running stumbles and flies out the wheel. Then they would go inside and start running for a bit until the other one would do the same thing.
This went on for hours sometimes and I still wonder how they don’t break bones being thrown out the wheel at full speed lol
