    So I’m not sure why I said that I’ve talked about herbs in so many video when in reality I’ve only mentioned them in 3 videos 😂 anyways I’ve linked some websites to get herbs as well as check Walmart! Since they sometimes stock the Rosewood brand you can maybe find the rosewood herb salads!

      Victoria Raechel Etsy is great for herbs! Also you can get a ton from thehayexperts.co.uk ship as well. There is also a great website mountainroseherbs.com they have a great selection of organic herbs!

      beaf steak no problem!! I am happy to help! :) They have an awesome selection ! I have tried TONS of herbs with my bunny. He really loves Bunificent’s herb mixes but they only sell pre mixed bags. There are lots of places for herbs! I can list more if you’d like. Thehayexperts is Definitely cheaper than a lot of other places that ship internationally. If you live outside the UK and want to place a large order, thehayexperts has a maximum international shipping weight of 2kg, so if shipping prices are not showing up when you check for an estimate, try removing some items from your cart one by one until it provides you with a shipping charge. And for Viovet, an order that weighs over 2kg will have MUCH higher shipping costs because anything over 2kg must be shipped differently, (probably due to needing more security involved) So if you break a large order into smaller orders that are under 2kg total, shipping will cost MUCH less! You will see that for Viovet, any order under 2kg will cost a flat rate of 10.00, but if you go over that maximum weight of 2kg, (even with just one more item) then shipping will jump to over double the cost! So smaller orders may save you money if you are looking to buy a bunch! It all goes by weight when shipped overseas! It definitely helps to look at the weight of what you are wanting to purchase. If you want a bunch of different items, keep an eye on the total grams per product when adding things to your cart! They also have tons of rosewood products, treats and toys! :)

      @@ThumpersMama18 oh my gosh yes please do list them!! I live in Singapore and have been wondering where to get the herbs for foreverrr, I was also wondering about the 10 pound flat rate for viovet too!! I just ordered some herbs and treats from VioVet and was wondering why when I added certain items like toys, the 10 pound shipping fee disappears, that makes so much sense . Thank you so much!!!

    I adopted my Syrian hamster Murphy about 2 years ago. After having him for a few months, my sister decided she was ready to get one too but sadly got him from petco. He came hone and he was lunging at us, he was hissing, and he was completely skittish. I decided something needed to be done immediately and I made him a 2 foot by 4 food melamine enclosure and filled it with bedding and all of his toys and it just seemed to stress him out even more. I later stumbled upon your natural cage videos and gave him a complete natural transformation using 4 different substrates minimum, attending reptile expos to collect cork wood tunnels and flats and grapevine, etc. He had a complete change in attitude and was thriving in this new environment and I am sad to say he did pass away earlier this year but if it weren’t for your suggestions I don’t think I would be able to safely say that I truly feel like he had a happy life.

    Quick story. Two years ago I walked into a Petco to get my first hamster. (I didn't know better) I saw the cutest little hamster ever, so I called a worker over to tell them that I picked my hamster. Surprisingly she asked me what cage I had, and I said I had a "pet palace hamster cage"😂 (only had 100 square inches of unbroken floor space 😡🙄). She said it was too small. She said that if I was on a budget that I should get a bin tote hamster cage. She then showed me a hamster group on Facebook I could learn more because she wasn't an expert. She also said that I could get an Ikea detolf, bc really large but not too expensive. But I didn't have space (sadly). So I got the hamster, and made a bin tote cage! Thanks to you Victoria, and the Petco worker, my first hamster current hamster would be living in a super tiny cage with like an inch of bedding! Thanks so much!

    Hi, for an elderly hamster (2 years) do you recommend scatter feeding? Or would it be better to feed in a dish? (I have never scatter fed before btw)

    • @VictoriaRaechel
      @VictoriaRaechel  5 років тому +5

      it depends on their activity levels, if they're still active and not slowing down I would say they can benefit​ from scatter feeding but if they sleep a lot more and have a harder time getting around keeping it in the dish would be best.

    My little guy has aboit 20cm of bedding (he had 15cm before) and he started to burrows everywhere not even using his hideout to sleep. So yes adding more bedding does change a lot regardless of what people think

    Sprays are awesome, keeps little fellas very active and provide lots of fun not only for hammies - watching them pick every seed, one by one can be super cute and entertaining :) My hamster is crazy about them, especially flax.
    Great addition for hammies natural cage theme is also dry moss, if you havent tried it yet - we got it already in our "cage" and it is safe for hamsters, give this super natural look and with few tiny sticks can become live fence. Oh and it's comfy - caught my hammie on sitting on it while having food break, some pieces he use for nest as well :)

    • @VictoriaRaechel
      @VictoriaRaechel  5 років тому +1

      Yes! It's my favorite thing to watch because they're just so cute when they eat them! I actually have used some moss, it's definitely​ good for adding a bit more green to the enclosure!

    By the way, a question:
    My hamster is used to me, but is still scared to be picked up, and when we are in the bath bonding, he tries to dig under the blanket, what can I do to solve this?

    • @VictoriaRaechel

      It's pretty normal for them to dig under the blanket. You can put something heavy around the edges to help keep it down.

    So I havnt owned a hamster for a few years now, and while my care back then was good I want to be amazing now. I have the alexander cage (100x50cm uk cage) and I've extended the base up on one side for bedding (it still doesnt make 10 inches but I'm doing my best haha), I've ordered all wooden stuff from a variety of websites and ive ordered hay, moss and alot of seeds on their stems to use for my first time! I'm super super excited!
