Roborovski Rescued in a Tiny Tales Cage | Dumbo's Rescue Story | Munchie's Place

- Welcome back to a rescue introduction video of a new hamster here at my small mammal rescue I run. Sometimes we rescue those in desperate need of help or those who're about to become homeless due to no fault of their own. Today's story isn't bad nor good and is simply a misinformed owner who was impulsive. Sometimes rescuing doesn't need to always be sad and sometimes the animal was taken care of. Enjoy today's story about our newest boy, Dumbo.
Awareness for proper care needs to be shared. It can easily be accessible online, however google search results don't always show good care information which ends up misguiding people. While the owners simply "didn't care" about their hamsters and wanted to profit off of their suffering, not everyone who has bad care is a bad person. SO KEEP THIS IN MIND! They may just need guidance and understanding.

Something I forgot to mention during the video introducing Dumbo was that he was never named by the previous owners. We picked out the name Dumbo because we loved his big ears, but it's sad to learn they didn't even call him anything when they had him for those 2 months. Just breaks my heart sometimes when someone is uninterested in the animals i care for but at least the new intake story isn't as bad as we've seen them.
Ok :3
you have such a kind heart❤️❤️❤️
I recently rescued a male robo with neurological issues and overgrown nails, managed to get a vet appointment for tomorrow morning. The owners thought it was a female Russian Campbell and that kind of gives you the answer to whether they did research. Luckily they are very kind and genuine people who are quite happy that I now have him to meet his needs and want to know what happens after he sees the vet
💙
Aww thank you for naming him! I already have a name picked out for my bearded dragon even though I might not be getting it for months
You inspired me to start a small animal rescue. Thank you for all you do
Please do some videos 😄👍
Make vids on the proses i would subscribe lol
If you start a channel I would love to subscribe and donate.
Me too
Not trying to be mean, but hopefully you're serious. There are way too many trolls or people looking for likes and/or money here on the internet and I just want to make sure it's going to be legit.
I've been planning a rescue, foster, and rehabilitation center for Bettas and nano aquaria for about a year now. I am always that person who makes sure he has everything first before I even remotely consider starting up the rescue, which will be licensed by the way. I will have a UA-cam channel similar to Munchie's, social media for the rescue, a GoFundMe page to help support the business, a website, and some miscellaneous stuff like an Etsy account for selling art of the Bettas (and occasionally other animals) that were adopted. This includes paintings, sketches/drawings, and high-quality pictures of the fish, some using the recently purchased macro lens. I've been planning this for about a year now, as this is the most responsible thing to do. Just because you see someone else successfully rescued Hamsters absolutely does not mean you can do it. The rescue business is extremely difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. I should know since I've had several rescues being run for Rats, Mice, Goldfish, and Hermit Crabs! Just hoping you know what you may be getting into. It's definitely not as easy as many of us make it seem. 😉
I hate how some people in Tik Tok buy Critter Trails/Tiny Tails and a hamster with doing no research. Or some are like "spoiling their hamster" but they buy a small cage and a wired wheel?!
and then they call people tik tok vets🙄
@@ewarat4299 or karens 😗
Ik exactly what video your referencing 😂
The shop I use for supplies almost exclusively carries the wire wheels. It's terrible.
imagine what their cage would look like if they weren’t “spoiling their animals”
“DOwN WiTh PetSmARt!!!”

*Person:* Impulse buys an innocent animal.
*Munchie:* FUUUUUUUU-
This is honestly extremely sad to see but, it’s also amazing to see somebody speaking up about it. I can’t imagine buying an animal and not even naming it. Thank you fo helping these animals, if they could speak they would say thank you too! 💚
I determined a name for my hammy BEFORE I got it
I name the horses that go to slaughter, they are kept next to our property and I will still name them. Animals need names.
@@c4tn1p_f4ygo9 same!! I'm getting a hamster soon and I'm gonna name it pirate 😼
In 2 months, make sure to look for "Selling 2 month old puppy, just need to rehome him because I got A HORSE and don't have time for the puppy, got him about 2 months ago, hes calm, small, and fast."
And then 4 months later,
"Selling 2 year old horse, had it for two months. Small, quick, and fast. Done have time I now have a pet whale"
Vibe check exactly. then, in 2 more months, “selling 4 year old whale, got too big and i wanted a puppy again instead.
2 years later: selling 4 month old pet whale. Don’t have time for him. Jesus is moving in
If this person buys a horse... im stealing it. I swear.
In two months: 5 year old Whale. We won’t have space for him anymore, the entity of Noah’s Arc is coming to my house.
Because of you I would love to have a animal rescue when I grow up so I can rescue animals from the terrible conditions they sometimes live in :(
We had been talking about getting a hamster and we wound up getting one about a month ago. I did some research on hamsters and knew what kind of bedding and wheel to get. Unfortunately we wound up getting a 20 gallon based on pet smart employees recommendation. (We have since upgraded to a 40 gallon) I got so mad the they were trying to push the tiny tails cages on us and got upset we said we would be going with a tank (safer we have cats). They told us it didn't matter because we were getting a dwarf winter white and he could live in there 😡😡😡😡 so happy I knew better then that. If any one is wondering we named him Bubba ❤🐹
Aww! Thanks for realising your mistake, and correcting it! I'm sure your hammy will be very happy with you :)
@@charliecoulls8095 he was so excited his eyes lit up like we took him to hamster Disney land. 😂😂

hey I have a question! I’m getting a robo dwarf soon and I was wondering, can I have my cat in the same room as my hamster? (I have a fish tank)
@@exoticpetlife9349 I havent had any issues but every animal is different. Make sure the the tank has locks to it. Also covering the tank at night can help as well.
That’s the cutest Robo’s ever even though our above is basically are the same color and but she’s just so cute
i have the same robo!! i names mine tater tot
Maggie Cremin that’s so adorable
@@maggie4096 aww RIP Victoria raechel's tater tot 😢
I have a pair of the same colored rescues! They are named Lucy Pherry and Paroni Von Nöpöleon :DD Lucy has an exact copy of the alien- emoji in her back!!

Munchie, I recently purchased two female mice, and your channel has helped me prepare for them. I have absolutely learned so much. I have so many chew toys for them, they are extremely stress free, and they are learning that I am their friend. My little girls love to sleep in the palm of my hand or in my hair, and they're so loveable. Thank you Munchie for making me a great mice mom.
3 days ago I was on craigslist and found an ad for 2 free female robo's. They were in the TinyTale's rocket cage. 😡 We drove an hour to get them and when we picked them up the cage was such a mesh and smelled SO bad. There was no bedding on top and there was less than an inch of bedding on the bottom. There was only a "Hole Log" on the bottom and the owner had taken out the wheel. The owner gave us a bag with 2 tiny hamster balls and wait for it...... 3 BAGS OF OXBOW FOOD 😤😠. We also found a Petsmart hamster guide at the bottom of the bag. The owner told us he had them since November and had NEVER touched them. I was so enraged. When we brought them home they were so scared. We named them Cupcake and Sprinkles. Cupcakes will sprint away if my hand is anywhere near her and Sprinkles will let me pet her but is still very skittish. We built them a large bin cage that has everything they need with good food. I am worried that they won't run on their wheels and that I will not be able to tame them. Do you have any advice? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
if you have a bath put a towel on the bottom and transport your hamster with an hide or carier put some hide and toy and let them run give them the opportunity to hide so they won’t be that stressed and go in with them and don’t force them to go to you also you can take paper towels and put your sent on it and put them in theirs cage so they get used to you!
I would be careful with the paper towels, sometimes if they get too much of it into their mouth they can suffocate
Watch Victoria raechel! She has so much videos about hamsters, and helped me learned about them!!
@@majavictoria2009 I am subscribed to her, she is amazing!
I want to become a manager of a pet store to remove all small cages and softwood shaving and rubbish wheels. I want to make a pet store correct
To do that u need to own the actual pet shop brand , not be manager 😂
Can I WorK tHerE?!
PLEASE DO
That's not how it works😂
•Sunstone Sakura• yes

It really makes me sad when people impulse buy small animals. I have always wanted a hamster, and before my first one, I did research on how to let my hamster have the best life! I have notebooks with notes ab hamster care. And when I see people with care that needs work, I try to tell them in a nice way. Sometimes they listen, other times they don't (which breaks my heart bc that poor animal). Thank u Muchie for what u do!
And if any ones wondering, my first hamster's name was Cocoa.
early! this hurts me- but i’m so glad you found that hamster. you are the best possible person to take in this cutie.
I love the rescue stories! I’m glad these little guys find themselves in your hands.
Its weird that people "don't have the time for a hamster" after they get another animal while I have a bunch of animals and still have time for 2 hammys. ( yes they r in different cages if u were wondering)
I ride horses, own a dog and three cats and somehow I still have time to take care of a hamster ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have 2 cats 1 dog 1rat and have 1 job yet i still have time for every single one of them (my rat is aggressive so he cant have mates)
I have 5 different dogs (some are my parents technically only 2 of the dogs belong to me) and I still have time for all four of my hammies (3 of which are rescues)
@@kashregester3974 rats need other rats and shouldn't live alone
I know, just provide the best care and you'll be fine. However, I understand if you're in my case, in which you have so many animals and so many personal issues going on that the stress overwhelms you. But if that's the case, then TELL THE TRUTH. It's that easy, y'all 😉
awww i love the name Dumbo
Aww a robo! ( i have a robo myself :3)
Awww what’s his/her name I am getting a hamster
Same :D
I did but Snowflake went to hammy heaven in her sleep
Kate Morrissey hes name is Peanut :3
Ravenna's Rodents sorry to hear that :(
The hamster i got on offerup for free came in one of these cages! I got a free aquarium the same day and put him in there. He was totally a impulse pick up for me! But he is in a much better home, I know that. I was worried I wasn't a good owner but his personality has really been shining through and he seems to be very happy now. He enjoys coming and sitting out and eating food and looking at us all.
I love your videos because they help me care for him better. I already knew how to care for rats so it wasn't a crazy difference. Thanks so much for the videos. You and several other UA-camrs helped me give my little impulse addition to the family a better life. He was definitely traumatized and stressed when I got him and his bedding was absolutely disgusting, his water bottle was slimy inside. Poor little guy.
I am a young teen and have never owned a hamster before Ollie. I got Ollie not too long ago and he’s a robo. I didn’t know that a beginner shouldn’t get a Roborovski first. But I think I tamed him pretty well and I take care of him. I would appreciate if people could recommend amazon toys or toys online. Chew toys more so than any other. I just wanna make sure he’s happy with his toys and cage :) ❣️
I have the same age as you approximately, (15) and I have a Robo and Im a begginer. Im gonna build a nice enclosure for him, because he has a bigger Cage than the one shown on the video, but I think that he Will live way better if I build him something.
Oof I have a puppy yet I have 2 hamsters (not together , different cages a Siberian hamster and a Chinese dwarf) ANNND I have a cat and 3 bunnys and. Like 12 fish yet I can care for all of them
As a horse carer, I take care of 20+ horses (while they are not mine, I still muck out and feed of all of them and daily exercise about 5 of them a day) and still have for my 4 budgies and my cat. If tou care about the animals, its not hard to make time for them!
I want to rescue hamsters when I’m older
That's so sad people are dumping their quarantine companions. I thought the rise of adoptable pets was because a lot of people have lost their jobs during/after quarantine, not because of this!
i rescued a HUGE female syrian the other day from someone in my neighborhood who was giving her away for free. she came to me in a crittertrail and since she was so big she took up HALF of the size of the cage. she’s now in a large bin cage and is thriving. :) the thing that really upset me was that the wheel was incredibly tiny so i don’t think she was ever able to run on it. when she was introduced to a 12” wheel, she had no idea what to do. :( she’s all okay now! thanks for all you do munchie❤️
Gotta say this munchie your hair is so pretty with dark red I’m in love
Hey munchie! I cannot tell you how happy I am that you are safe and spreading the joy! People are always like: do your research! But the sad thing is people are spreading mis-information. When I got my first hamster all of the research i did was from books. Sadly, all of the books looked like they’re from the 80’s or 90’s, meaning that they were spreading care from that time. If only I was on UA-cam when I got my first hamster! I look back at the care that I gave to my first hamsters and it makes me sad. If only big chain pet stores would stop selling those terrible products! All they care about is the money and there is proof to that. In PetSmart’s hamster care guide it says not to use cedar shavings, yet they sell them in their store. I hope everyone is staying safe during these times!
ATTENTION, on Craigslist someone in Hermantown is selling 2 male syrian hamsters, housed TOGETHER IN A 10 GALLON TANK WITH NO WHEEL, TOYS OR HIDES, I don’t think I can take them so if anyone lives near there, please please please try to save these guys!!! Search “tow male hamsters” in craigslist!
My robo lived for a bit over 2 years, and was the absolute sweetest. I don't think he was truly ever tamed completely, but he would come out when he heard my voice, and sit on my hand to eat treats and let me pet him. He never bit, and as you said, really wasn't much of a chewer, although I always had lots of things in his cage for him to nibble on if the mood struck him. I miss him a lot, and definitely think I'll get another robo when the time comes. He was so much fun to watch.
"I don't have time for my hamster because I got a puppy, got him two months ago." - Words can't even express how angry this makes me.
I do rats, mice, and African soft furs- I don't keep any of the animals you rescue and have never had a Guinea pig, gerbil, or hamster... but I've learned so much about their care just from watching you. I've used this information SO many times though! Any time I see people looking for cages and toys at the pet supply store I use, I stop and help them. I can't tell you how many people were about to buy Tiny Tales or Critter Trails for their new hamsters because they just didn't know they weren't suitable. I'm sure it annoys some people, but the staff don't seem to mind and everyone I've tried to help has walked away with an appropriate setup and safe accessories. Thanks for teaching people this stuff. You're a small pets legend.
AHHHHHH! What an adorable Hammy! I love Robos so much, wish you the best finding Dumbo a home!
I’ve had all species of hamsters. I loved watching my robos run around. I’ve had 5 of them. I also had 5 Syrians, 3 Campbell’s, 1 winter white and 1 Chinese. and My Chinese hamster was so sweet.
Thanks Munchie for rescuing these animals and for raising awareness of adoption for small pets. My first rescue hamster passed away this morning. Her name was Pumpkin, she was a Campbells hybrid and I loved her so much. Adopting her was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had, because she appreciated every single little thing we did for her, and we felt great knowing we gave her the loving home she deserved. I just wanted to say a big thanks, because it's channels like yours that make people aware of small pet adoption and encourage them to rescue an animal in need, rather than just get one from a pet shop. And good luck to little Dumbo! I'm sure he'll find a loving family - such a cutie!
This is the first time ive been here to the video this quickly since the tiny tales reviews
I am so thankful for you! My female Syrian was in this cage. Til I found you and figured out it was suitable..she’s now in a detolf with super deep bedding sand and eco earth ❤️❤️❤️
I impulse bought a Syrian (Millie Moo) and she's my life. I built her a bin cage, and she's actually spoiled. I love her so much and it seems like she's happy. I'm always trying to make her environment as perfect as possible 🙏🏻
I just adopted a pregnant hamster and my hardest thing right now is how am I going to be able to rehome all of the Syrians without giving them to neglectful owners that won’t have a proper cage or wheel size. Do you have any recommendations on how to talk to them when they contact me for one of them so I don’t seem rude
Omg I love his colors
Oh my gosh! He is the cutest hamster I have ever seen! I love his patterns! I have never seen a robo with such beautiful markings!
You inspire me so much! I used to just get my small pets from this small company pet store, but now I might be getting a 1 year old Syrian hamster off Craigslist, bc the person is going to college. I can't wait, the hammy looks so cute and sweet! I thank you for all you do for these babies ❤️❤️❤️
Aww thats so sad that they never named Dumbo the whole 2 months they had him. Super glad you got him and gave him a name. Now he will have a better life. Dumbo probably thinks he is in a mansion now you got him out of that tiny cage. I think he was super stressed and stress chewing.
Thank you for educating people on small animals, I have a male mouse in a 20 gallon and you’ve been very informative :)
My friend and I got a robo together, she passed away this year but we spent so much time with her and she did tame. So much that she would actually come straight over to your hand and liked little head scratches 💕 we miss her a lot
When I got my second Robo hamster he didn’t really need to be worked on being tamed at all but my first was hard. He is just a nice little hamster who has never bitten anyone
I love her dedication for animals! ❤️
Thank you Munchie for doing what you do. Thankfully pet-smart isn’t where i live. It’s just pet-center and super-zoo and from a friend i know that they actually care for their animals.
I LOVE YOU MUNCHIE ❤️
I like your videos
Anyone else a teenager who has a hamster and buys everything for the hamster themselves so they have the best life possible and makes sure their thriving not just surviving and has no money for themselves Cos they don’t work they just spend every penny of their money on their spoilt lil hammy 🥰❤️
Me! Im gonna try to build him a Big enclosure!
My friend rescued a hamster from his friend that wasn’t taking proper care of it. His name is moose and he’s four years old. He came in a ten gallon, now he has a twenty gallon and we are working our way up to bigger and better cages ASAP. We love him very much. 💕
I have wanted a hamster for so long but I have never let myself get one until now just because I wanted to learn about hamsters and research so it can have the best life possible
I dropped my ice cream 🍨 bowl 🍲 it felt like everyone saw me hahaha 🤣😂🤣🤣
I don't own any hamsters but I love your videos. (I've had hamsters in the past but didnt know what I know now about their care so thank you!) I own rats but still watch all the videos you post! I even bought the prevue 528 as a temp/hospital/intro/etc cage because you raved about it ❤
Petsmart is just awful. I’m a reptile person and the way they treat them is sickening. They’re all competing for resources and then when they sell them they give people all the wrong lighting and feeding advice etc.
I rescued a robo hamster that came in this exact cage just another color. She had no wheel , toys and not even an inch of bedding. Unbelievable, she now has a15 gallons bin cage with about 10 inches of bedding and a 6.5 wheel although we are looking for a bigger one. She also has multiple chews. It’s sad that people treat any animal horribly it’s just terrible.
I just watched your videos and now a new one yay!
Omg, dumbo is utterly gorgeous! I'd adopt him in a heart-beat, the name suits his cute ears too!
Munchie has over 60k subscribers...that means 60,000 people have good hamster care
8:02 😂 the way she threw that bag of food 😂 😂
"Oh but Munchie you gotta understand that puppies are super hard to care for and they're better in every way"
......😑 Seriously, y'all, WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!? Puppies are not and will never be more important than Hamsters. All life is precious, whether it means being a massive Whale or a tiny piece of aquatic beneficial bacteria (aquarium enthusiasts will know what I mean lol). Seriously, Munchie, good work! Dumbo, among many of the other animals you have rescued, taken in, and/or fostered must all be very thankful for your responsible, loving, caring, and accepting personality! Keep it up! We've all got your back 😉
Let's show munchie how much we love her and please continue subscribing to her UA-cam channel
Love these episodes of the rescue stories 🌟🐹
The petsmart and petco in our area aren’t selling any hamsters either. The birds and other animals are still for sale but the smaller rodents aren’t for sale. Which kind of stinks because I been preparing for one for months. With your channel’s help. Lots of stuff! So I can wait and can’t wait to bring one home in a great space. 😊 I am going to check the local animal shelter and see if they have any for adoption.
I got my first hamster for my birthday I’ve been wanting one for agis so before I even knew I was getting one I watched loads of hamster videos 😂 my hamster was only 2 weeks old when I got her ! I’ve had her for 3 months :) and she’s never bit me and she’s fully trained. When my mum got her she came home with a tiny tale cage and I told my mum that that’s wayyy to small for them she was in the for 2 hours while we went to the shops to get a new bigger cage ! It was huge we measured it it is about 700 square inches of floor space! Your videos helped me a lot :)
Hi Munchie! I'm a first time rat owner and have been following you for about a year now. I know your specialize in gerbils mice and hamsters and was just wondering if you could direct me to some good links about rat care. I know basics but want to make sure I give them a fulfilling life habitat etc. I dont know if you've made a video on this or not so forgive me if you have covered this previously. Thank you so much for your time!
Okay this is kind of unrelated but its making me annoyed. My "friends" mom were having a baby and they also had 2 pugs. They had those pugs for years, but they were scared that those pugs might not be "nice" to the baby so they rehomed them. Then, may I add, they got a ST BERNARD! They said its because the kids were sad without a dog so her husband got a puppy St Bernard. That was a couple if years ago. But I have been informed by my best friend, who has one of the kid's number, that they got rid if Bear (the st Bernard) because he was too much work AND NOW HAVE A NEW PUG! IM SO ANNOYED AT THEN I CANT EVEN- Let's just say that when I meet them again we are going to have " a little chat " anyway thank you for your time. Have a good day/night.
That cage is 20 dollars.. that's enough money to make a suitable bin cage. Tiny tales aggravates me so much.
Omg Dumbo is literally one of the cutest robos I’ve even seen 🥰
I love these videos!!
I remember when I got two rats and mentioned it to a friend of mine. "You're not a kid," she said and I informed her that small fragile animals need everything bigger animals need and that they are not toys for children. I wonder if these people got tired of the puppy yet.
I love watching your videos, they’re very informative and interesting to watch. I used to have a long hair Syrian hamster, she was very much an escape artist, sadly she passed earlier this year. I would like to eventually get another hamster later on down the road and I would more than likely get another Syrian hamster. Between watching your videos and Victoria Raechel’s videos I have learned mistakes I made with my previous hamster and hope not to make again.
I rescued a young mouse a few months ago, I named him Macchiato, he was in a similar small cage, now he's in a large aquarium, he's spoiled now 💖
I thank you for teaching me to help my little berry
I never understood why someone couldnt have a hamster and a dog. That just sounds like an excuse to me because I have a small dog and 2 cats along with 3 hamsters who are well cared for and secure in their own bin cages. When we socialize with them we lock the cats and dog out of that room for safety. It's not difficult if u love that animal. We have taken time during this pandemic to build them a proper setups and learn more about care. We upgraded all of our pets actually, because we treat them as part of our family. If u don't want to take on the expense, don't buy or adopt it :) Both of my cats and my dog are rescues who are pampered :)
Dumbo is so adorable! Also, I'm pretty sure that a roborovski is supposed to have one third of the cage be sand because they come from a very sandy area.
My first hamster was robo, his name was Max. I loved him dearly and my dad used to joke about how he could create electricity for whole apartment building from running on his wheel. He had just three legs but worked daily on his running streak💪 sadly i had him when i was 9 so he lived in the circus tiny cage
Last Friday my hamster passed away from heart failure, she was a 1 and a half year old winter white it was devastating my sister gave her to me after realizing her care mistakes and she had a good life
But I learned most of my knowledge of hamsters from you
Aww he's so cute🤩🤩he's in a better home❤❤
My slippers can’t even fit in that
My hamster Cookie that looks like Dumbo is tame. When he wants to free roam, I just cup my hand and he climbs it. When he wants to go back to the cage, he goes to the area of where his cage is and he steps on my feet. 2 of his sons inherited that trait. They are indeed very fast so if you let them free roam make sure to watch your step so you won't step on them.
I have 8 dogs 1 bunny 2 hamsters 18 birds and I still meet all of their needs and make sure that they live the best life!
Also, I'm a beginner and I got a robo 😂 he was terrified when I got him but he will come up and take food from my hand and smell me. He has never bitten and I have only been able to touch him ONCE! I do believe he is warming up to us all because he greets me and stuff. At least with rats if they greet you that means they like you.
I bought a hamster on an impulse and I did not know that the Kaytee cages were bad. So I stressed for two weeks getting my hamster a better cage. I finally have her in a decent bin cage but I am upgrading to a 200qt and she has a huge wheel that barely fits in the bin. And guess what I am buying her Higgins food it has been out of stock at chewy forever and finally it’s there. And I’m so happy and excited to switch her from tropical carnival and oxbow to just sunburst and Mazuri that Victoria uses.
I love your videosss
My robo is slowly getting more used to me, if I want to try bathtub bonding and he runs away I never make him. He's so sweet, but doesn't like being held, so I don't make him. I still give him a big and fun cage even though he is tiny and more of a watch pet, I still love him.
Dumbo is so adorable 😘🐹
Munchie, I freakin love your videos❤️
my local pets at home will not sell animals so i got mine from an independent pet shop that had an accidental litter, ive had my hamster for almost two months now and shes the best thing that ever happened to me :))))
Yep we left those cages alone asa we knew better! Our baby Hammy is in a 60gallon bin noq with 6" bedding and wayyyy happier and healthier is this lil guy! He also has become VERY tame since we moved him! Our next will be a robo!!(ONLY bc we have 12 yrs of experience in taming hammies and are trained now and ready to have one!)
He only lived 9 months after we got him
some of these videos really make me want to start like a chain pet store brand. it would probably focus a lot of small animals.
It would sell affordable but big cages. It would sell food that meets the animals needs. The animals would come from ethical breeders. Our hamster starter kits would include the smallest cage, which would still be well over the minimum size, food, bedding (obviously not pine or cedar or anything like that), chew toys, a water bottle, two food bowls, a wheel, two houses, a bendy bridge, and probably a sand bath with sand. Plus a care guide with all the information people would need to know.
Then how would the hamsters be kept? They would be in big cages with at least 6 inches of bedding. 12 inch wheels. High quality food. etc.
The only reason I wouldn't do that is because it wouldn't make enough money to pay for correct care. Having only bigger cages available, even for the same price, would mean that people wouldn't buy them on impulse. They would see that the cage takes up lots of room and see that the amount of work needed is more than they want.
Too bad :(
Rabbits- in order to get nutrients from hay will ferment some inside of them and then eat that when it comes out of their bum.
Also my dad got a guinea pig and pulled out the Petsmart care sheet and that is his new Bible. I did get his to switch to aspen bedding instead of pine but now the guinea pig is larger and is going to need more room. It also does not have any toys.
Thats the same cage I rescued my robo was in. He had mold in the cage and looked like he hadn't been fed for awhile. So sad now he is in a bigger cage and has 10in of bedding. I never see him because he is so timid and loves to burrow.
All the pet stores in my area (And neighboring towns) are still selling small animals, including PetCo, which is strange. PetCo still sells Kaytee Crittertrail cages so they aren’t that much better. At least they don’t make their own small cages.
Hi Munchie, I wanted to tell you a story and also want to learn about mouse care since I’m only educated on hamster atm, on Craigslist I found a little mouse named Oreo, he was cute and all that when I received him (it was for free) I got with a pine bedding which I know is not appropriate for any small animals and with a tiny tales cage just like the cage in this video, the hidehouse was plastic but the mouse chewed most of them, I went to petsmart that very day to get chew toys and a new house to maybe get better environment then before, I also heard them say remove the wheel at night because it can be noisy and all that but I wasn’t educated and my mom made the decision to give to someone more responsible since I was 15 back then, we got a nice lady, she took the pine bedding but told me she is not using them when she arrived home, the lady had other mouses in her household and was fully educated, so I would like to know was the tiny tales cage appropriate for the mouse? Or were they treating the mouse bad?
Hi I got a hamster a few months ago I almost rehoused him because I felt his cage was too small it’s a 12x12x14 bin cage also keep in mind I’m 11 so I have to respect my parents wishes I ended up getting a bearded dragon so I now keep him in his old 20 gallon
And what have you done with the hamster?
So basically; Petsmart sucks with hamsters, while Petco sucks with reptiles. Interesting.
Sure seems to be this way. However petco is also guilty of mistreating small mammals just as much as petsmart. But petco isn't forcing its brands down people's throats and allow them to make their own decision. Also petsmart did come out with a new line of reptile starter kits. I'd highly recommend checking out emma lynne sampson and her vids on the matter.
❤I love you Munchie ❤
