It’s so enjoyable, to 1, see a person that does the right research and cares for their hamster, and 2 see a hamster from petco, with a small wheel, and almost no bedding, to come home to a giant cage with all the things it needs that it can explore and enjoy! You can just see the joy and excitement in Flower’s eyes ❤
Hey there, I would personally upgrade your hamsters wheel to an 11 inch wheel! otherwise good job! Sprays are a good option for enrichment like millet, sorghum, flax ect.
Thanks so much for the advice! At the end of the video there I already ordered her the bigger wheel :) she loves it! We’ve been upgrading a lot since we’ve got her 😊
I really appreciate your sweet comment! We’ve been upgrading and adding to her home since we got her, I want her to feel as comfortable and happy as possible ❤️
oh my god i went into this video so ready to be upset about the setup, but this setup is fantastic!! thank you for doing research before going out and getting a pet❤🙏
Flower is so cute!! thank you for providing a loving and proper home for her. kudos to getting that bigger wheel, she'll have a lot more fun running on it :D one other thing i'd recommend is scatter-feeding (sprinkle her food throughout the cage) on top of just putting it in a dish, as this promotes hamsters' innate foraging behavior :D
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I really appreciate it 🙏🏻 thanks so much for the recommendation, we’ve started scatter feeding her couple of days ago ! And she’s a master in finding her food 🤓 we love her , she’s such a sweet hamster 🐹
I miss having a hamster, I'm glad I was able to document some of their videos in my small UA-cam channel. Flower is so cute, thanks to you and your family, sending love and hugs from the Philippines. Good job on your hamster care, you gain a subscriber in me. 🐹🐹🐹
I know this was from a little while ago, but i just wanted to say that you did a great job! i agree with the comments saying it should have more foraging items! the only other thing would be getting a bigger wheel:) but great job and I know this hamster must love its home!!!
This truly makes me so happy! Thank you for the free happy!! Flower (super cute name btw) has never gotten to experience all of these things before, thank you for giving her a wonderful new home :)
Overall your care is great! But you might need to watch out when it comes to yogurt drops, since hamsters are prone to diabetes, yogurt drops are just a thing of sugar. I would recommend using dried fruits, baby puff snacks, and sunflower seeds! I think you did a great job tho!!❤
Thank you ☺️ I appreciate the advice! I already got rid of the yoghurt drops because I heard they’re bad. 💕 she loves her dried fruits and sunflower seeds !!! 🥰
aww she had such a tiny cage in the store and the wheel, it was so nice to see her get waaay more space and you got her a more proper wheel when you realised
I’m really happy to hear that. Somebody finally did the research, but I wouldn’t like to recommend a larger wheel in some more sprays like the dried flowers and stuff
what a gorgeous hammy i got mine bought he is brown and white very skittish when he first came home so its taken12 days to let him settle in , he now lets me stroke him without fleeing its all patience with these adorable creatures next step letting me hold him ,i had hams all my life they are all different , i think his name is diesel as he is energetic i got my hands full x

You definitely saved that beautiful sweet girl. That wheel she had in petco isn't even acceptable for a dwarf. And the level of bedding she had whilst there is horrible. And probably not even acceptable food. So you absolutely saved her the cage you have is amazing amazing level of bedding. And seems very happy. Well done!! 👍👏
@@this.is.virginia if I could I'd save all mine from pet shops but due to some of them either being sick or pregnant or you just get the opposite gender. Unfortunately you get more than what you pay for. 😢 But at least you got one that's going to be loved and cared for and hopefully lives a long healthy life 🙏❤️🐹
Make sure her teeth is yellow or orange and make sure their teeth and nails aren't overgrown also include a bigger wheel. Check if the gender is right because pet smart get the gender wrong a lot. I hope flower will love her new home and I mean LOVE her new cage :)
It helped that we got the tank secondhand … all in all i would say around 250$ for cage , hamster, bedding & accessories! The houses and stuff I made myself out of cardboard boxes, which saved some money :)
once that thing sad about pet store parking lot is that people will just dump their animals there I'm mostly saying this because saw a roster that probably got dumped
That is really sad 😞 but down here there is wild chickens and roosters all over the place , just like other birds ! I’d hope they just live their best life wild and free🙏🏻
@@this.is.virginia four of my Roosters I actually got from the middle of the road next to my house in the country is a very common place to dump Roosters I've gotten frizzle silkies delware and Rhode Island all from the same place and also different times
@@asher2248 I wouldn’t consider myself a hamster expert :) there’s way more educated ppl out there you can ask. I’m sorry I don’t have the perfect answer for you - I’m just learning every day myself :)
I sadly don’t know the exact name because I bought it second hand , it doesn’t have a name on it anywhere. I’d google 40 gallon reptile tank and maybe you can find something similar! Thank you for your comment! :)
@@cosmetic-diaries it’s not easy to find one that’s big enough and affordable… what I did is that I looked for a used one - and I found this big tank in great condition second hand for a very affordable price. Maybe you can find one in your area. 💕
le aconsejo que su alimentación apta son el mix de semillas(son 12 tipos de semillas),la semilla de girasol solo se le da 1 semilla ,2 a 3 veces a la semana por que eso la engorda o también le puede dar enfermedades,saludos
No it's paper I think and thats completely safe its even recommended because of the absorbency and low dust wood shavings are fine just make sure they are safe wood and unscented
Good choice on the wheel upgrade; I have that one myself. My hamster passed away yesterday after 2.5 years, but I've got one from a breeder reserved to collect next weekend that looks a lot like Flower 🥰

I will ! Thank you! She has a bigger wheel ! 🙏🏻☺️
@@this.is.virginia thank god keep the good knowledge up👍
Hey! How much did it cost for the cage and all the stuff to take care of her?
It helped that we got the tank secondhand … all in all i would say around 250$ for cage , hamster, bedding & accessories! The houses and stuff I made myself out of cardboard boxes, which saved some money :)
For any hamster experts, would a 20 gallon tank be better for a robo dwarf of Syrian?
I’d go for a 40 gallon tank or bigger :)
neither. minimum is 40 gallon for both. if u have a 20 gallon get a single male mouse thats about it
i know.. a 20 gallon tank is not suitable for either of them. it needs to be a 40 gallon or larger.
@@jenkira5363 nah thx I’m not gettin no mouse 😭🙏
then you need to get a bigger tank 🤷🏻♀️ i have three male mice, they are amazing pets
So cute!! She picked you!!
Can’t wait to get mine!
Thank you 😊 she did ! I was hoping that would happen so I don’t have to make a choice 🙈. It’s gonna be so awesome when you get yours !
I just subscribed. Can’t wait to see more Flower videos!!
@@hisnamewasrocco thank you so much! I really appreciate that ! 🙏🏻🐹
What size tank do you have? I’m debating on what to get for our space
It’s a 40 gallon tank 😊 I know … it’s so hard to decide on an enclosure !
i know you probably already bought a tank but for syrians anything over 70 gallons is better
once that thing sad about pet store parking lot is that people will just dump their animals there I'm mostly saying this because saw a roster that probably got dumped

hi, is it okay to use shredded papers as beddings but with prints,like exam papers or printed notes?
I wouldn’t recommend it, I think normal paper is not soft enough and sharp. I would go with soft paper bedding :)
if normal paper is considered sharp,how about wood shavings that are being sold?

Hi :) what’s the name of the cage? It’s nice!
I sadly don’t know the exact name because I bought it second hand , it doesn’t have a name on it anywhere. I’d google 40 gallon reptile tank and maybe you can find something similar! Thank you for your comment! :)
Why did the chicken cross the road to get to petco
la rueda es muy pequeña,comprele una q si sea apta una de 28-30 cm
At the end of that video I bought her a new wheel! Thanks for the advice!
Shes lovley but i would advise not to use those yogurt drop because there unhealthy for hammys
Thank you! I actually haven’t fed her any more of those and threw them out already because I heard they aren’t good. Appreciate the advice!!!
So cute
She’s super cute! 😊 thank you!
so niceeeeeeeee!
Thank youuuuu 💕
Carefull the wheel might be too small :(
At the end of the video you can see that I bought her a big one already 👍🏼💕
Can I steal the name Flower I love the name!
Absolutly ! 😊 why not - there’s never enough flowers 😁
Just the random rooster 👁️👄👁️
Lol 😂 yea … that’s a south Florida thing 😁
I would definitely recommend Victoria reachel if you are sure about things she does teach you a lot of important and interesting stuff ❤
Yes !!! I’ve been watching her 😊 she’s a great source of knowledge 🙏🏻 thank you!
