For those who don't have instagram: Cinnamon was adopted by someone who had a lone female gerbil!!! She's happy and has a friend to live out her days with :) AND her new sister's name is also Sugar!!!

I had three gerbils in the past six years. I got my first two back when I just got out of the sixth grade. Literally my dad picked me up from school in the last day and took me to get my babies. My first two being Lily and Chubbs both girls. Chubbs later died two years later. Lily got a new friend named Teddy. Again both girls. Teddy died a year later due to complications. I had Lily up until the end of my freshman year. She lived a long happy life. And I loved her. Dearly. But I had to mention something. I moved to a new school in the 7th grade. There I got bullied and harassed and I still am to this day. I’m a senior now. Lily was with me through it all. She was a best friend. Every time I’d walk over to her bin I’d stick me head in and say “kiss” and she’ll put her nose to mine. After her I had dwarf hamsters but that was two years ago. My dad tried to replace Lily with them. Junior year I had another hamster. But currently I have none. I can’t replace Lily no matter how hard I try. I want to be able to have that connection again but I can’t seem to do it. Any advice?

When your voice gets higher pitched on the phone, that’s literally me 😅😅

I hope Cinnamon gets comfy with her new friends and is adopted by a nice family ♡ How has it been having gerbils at the rescue now? Will we see videos on gerbil care?

YES!! finally an update on the gerbils I have to gerbils at home so I'd like to hear some tips on taking care of them!Threre so cute!!

Your youtube voice vs your Nice On The Phone voice are so different it's got me rolling lol.

So sorry to hear!! I used to own gerbils, I love them! Sugar was so sweet, but your judgement was good, Munchie, you're doing a really good thing. I just read in the comments that all is well, really good news!

You can get animals from PetSmart too, well at least the PetSmarts around me, I've adopted three Hamsters from PetSmart, Azula, Annie and Toph. Unfortunately, it usually takes a long time for someone too actually know what I'm talking about and go and see if they have something.

Munchie: sorry this is a long video. Me: that’s my favourite thing! More rehoming awareness videos ☺️.

Thank you for existing. We need more people like you! You have inspired me to start rescuing when I'm older. Thank you for being such an amazing person

Place a tile in the enclosure to place the wheel on, helps keep it from immediately sinking

My Petco takes in birds.. I adopted my parakeet there. Fyi: It was in the back and they said a lady just dropped it off

Awww, Sooo cute! Good Job! We need more people like you in the world!

Great news. Impressed with the habitat. My gerbils bury everything. Including their wheel.

My boys were from the Petco adoption program! I didn't know as much about ethical adopting back when I first got gerbils, but found them as the only gerbils in my area. It's nice to know more about the program years after and I'll be sure to go to them again or a shelter/rescue next time too:)

glad you included parts with you on the phone asking about the adoption program- i'm about to do the same to look for a hamster and i've been so anxious about how to approach the phone calls, so i'm back on this video to hear it again :")

All of the Petco’s in my area just hang up once I say “Okay thank you”

Haha I said 14 🤣 btw I'm So Happy That You Got Them!!!

Sad to hear sugar pass, happy she’s in a better place 🙌🏼 These girls are so pretty 💞

I'm happy she was able to find a partner! I'm looking for one for my own gerbil, Peach, right now and never really thought to check rescues because I tend to assume they don't take gerbils as they're not as popular as cats, dogs, or rabbits. I got Peach and her sister, Rosie as daughters for my elderly lone gerbil (who's brothers passed before him) since I knew he was at the end of his life. He was a great father figure and was so excited about both of them, but unfortunately, Rosie was a runt and didn't thrive... And George soon passed a couple weeks later from old age. Thank you for your work and informative videos! I will be sure to check up on any adoption services.

I'm so sorry for your loss but I am glad you were able to get two new friends!

im glad you found one, or 2, so quickly!!

Aww poor baby you done the right thing!! I really love watching you're vidoes, they really do help with animals I only ever adopt my hamsters because of you're vidoes and I feel really good once I've done it and I love making the hamsters happy. Love what u do for all the animals you save and help give good homes !! ❤❤

Aw they’re so cute! I love the WoW reference too!

I'm glad that you found a store with 2 female gerbils for adoption.

Glad to see the Instagram posts about Cinnamon’s adoption, anymore than 2 females together I’ve had bad experience with so I’m happy to see she got another friend!

Please never apologize for a longer video. I cannot express how much I love your videos.

I'm so excited the poor girl has a buddy now!

This video was so helpful

This was a very fun video I love your videos a lot Michael is a great person to get hamster gerbils and mice care information

Her regular voice compared to her phone voice is very different!! Super funny

This is off topic but my hamster has been with me for 2 months and doesn't usually like background noise whether it's unfamiliar talking or tv (even at low volume). He was a surrender to a local pet store so I think he may have history with unexpected loud sounds or approaches. When I'm handling him I turn off videos to interact with him, but anytime I'm watching your videos he is comfortably out and about in his prevue 528 :) he must sense the genuine love you have for small fur babies when you speak.

I know this is an old video but want to comment anyway. My sister used to work at Petco and she was in charge of the small animals and the adoption program. I have rescued several hamsters through her over the years. They really do try their best to keep the adoption animals healthy and happy. My sister was always taking them to the vet. My most memorable adoption via her was a white Syrian hamster named Tater. She told me that this poor little guy had a prolapsed rectum and she had to give him a lot of meds and treatments. As a result, she told me he was not friendly and bit. Well, I wanted him because otherwise his outlook might not have been good. I got there and he stood on his butt and had a crooked little mouth. He reminded me of a little country boy hence the name Tater. I got a handful of sunflower seeds and stuck my hand into his tank expecting to be attacked. Instead he climbed into my hand to pouch the seeds. That was it, he was mine. He lived a long (for a hamster) and happy life with me. I earned the title "hamster whisperer" and every time she had a hamster with an attitude I adopted it. Just wanted to share my knowledge about Petco and Tater. Happy new year!

Oh my gosh I had that same Pooh Bear pillow case growing up!

Side note: some petcos actually will take in birds, theres a petco near my workplace (I like to visit the animals in my freetime) that takes in birds when they have the space for them, but they're not kept in wellness like normal, they're on the floor and they have a little sign that says their information and that they're for adoption (however the adoption fees are typically higher than hamsters because that particular petco gets a lot of parrot surrenders)

9,9 is going to be the lucky number Love your videos munchie xx♥️

God bless you and your family amen

I have 2 Male gerbils, I love watching videos like this!!

I always watch through the adds :)

Love video

thank you so much fro making all these amazing video bc you inspired me to do something like that when im older, i just need to firgure out how lol.

I guessed the number 5!! Missing you sugar

If the wheel is on a stand you can try to zip tie it to the top, I did that in one of my former hamster cages

I would have just called them Flutter and Star. I'm super lazy when it comes to names lol.

Petco employee here the reason we don’t advertise it is because we don’t have the room in our stores we have a wellness room where we keep our sick animals and overstock that we can’t fit on the floor and normally that area is always full

I just recently adopted two male gerbils from a shop near me, their names are Aro and Ace! i love my boys so much, and i love watching videos about other gerbils, i hope Freda(?) and Freya get adopted soon!

This is so sad. Poor sugar and im very glad that Cinnimon is getting some new friends!! I'm thinking about 3 times lol

Freya is the Norse goddess of love and beauty

My Labrador is called Freya. Perfect name! 😍😍😍

Awww, this is so sad. 😥😥

I just got instagram so I could keep a update with you and some other people that I watch love what you guys do for the animals 💜💜

I'm not sure if you have done before but could you review some ferplast products, it's an Italian small pet brand that is pretty common to see in the UK. Love what you do at your rescue!!

Hey i guessed right! Number five!

I loved it but I wish I saw this sooner 😔. It’s been about 2 months now since one of my female gerbils passed away. I read online that you should first watch and see how your gerbil acts alone, and if she seems lonely to act, but after this video I’m so confused! If you or anyone else has any tips, I would absolutely appreciate it!

Yay!!!

I guessed 5! Yess!

I hope s she getsa good home that takes good care of her.

I did not know how easy hamsters are to scare until I was cleaning out her sand bath. I was putting the clean container of sand back into her bin and accidentally startled her awake while doing so

Three times the charm

Former Petco employee spotted! Knowing the terms wellness room and Racel are giveaways😂. Also I work for petco in Missouri/Kansas and we take birds as long as they are legal in the area . For example, Quaker parrots are illegal in Kansas, but in Missouri we would take them!

Hehe my slightly too optimistic guess was 3! Then when you passed 3 I guessed 7, so I guess the correct number was right in the middle hehe

OMG that dig at WoW ....I should sub to you just for that LOL

Hi Munchie. I just wanted to let you know that in my area (Omaha, NE), PetSmart does take in surrendered small animals and works with the local shelter too.

You should rename them to Sugar Spice and Everything Nice

i think 3!

Pet smart does adoptions too! I got my brothers from Pet smart they were part of an accident litter! There was no re homing fee :) I love them they are nick and nate! I named em after the diaz brothers !!!!!!! :D can't get over them

Let's show munchie how much we love her and please continue subscribing to her KZfaq channel❤😊

Whenever I ask about the think adoption first when I call they are either super rude or don’t know anything about the program 😐

The reason why I would sometime have a lone gerbil is because their roommate, the one I bought when I got the other, had passed away and its very difficult to introduce a new gerbil with a older one. Now if you have the equipment and know how to do it that’s fine, but for me it’s difficult since its about a hour drive to the nearest pet store to buy new gerbils these days and I don’t have the space to do it. So I mostly buy them as pairs and wait till both have pass before thinking of buying a new pair. The last pair was call Snow White & Regina and the next pair I’m hoping to call Sam & Den, guess where the names came from.

☺️

I use to have a rat that didn't get along with any other rat despite my best efforts so he was kept solo and seemed to do fine with it as long as he got lots of attention from me

I don't know about names being Greek, but Freyja/Freja is the name of a nordic God, and Frida is a Norse name.

Lucky number 2

I didn't think that a hamster video would make me miss Wrath, but oh my god it was the best of times, and now it is the worst of times.

Off topic: I have that pillow case! I’ve had it since I was 4.

4th time Omg I was so close

My gerbil would cover the wheel and then crawl up the wheel and then push the lid off of his cage and Escape he is an escape artist don't worry he is in the glass cage we haven't had time to introduce my two gerbils yet I need to take it slow but their cages are next to each other so they can still interact I'm going to introduce them this weekend i just dont want them to fight because I've had a bad experience with that

Frida and Frejya/Freya/Frøya are norse names... from Norse mytology....

14!!

thy are sooo beautiful and they will be well looked after in your care god bless them there gorgeous sooo cute well done karin glasgow .xx

I already commented on how good I think the Petco adoption program is but I wanted to talk about what pieces of s*it some people are. My first rescue through the Petco where my sister worked was a hamster who I named Ginger. She was found on a summer day in their parking lot in a shoebox. Left there to die I guess. Another time, these people had just rented a house and when they were moving in they found two hamsters (female) in a POPCORN CAN! Syrians. The previous tenants had just left them there. So they brought them into Petco because they didn't know how to care for hamsters. I adopted them and they both pitched a fit when I separated them. I know you're not supposed to do this but I put them back together. Folks don't try this at home because usually it's a disaster. These two did everything together and cuddled together while sleeping. I suspect they were littermates. When the first one passed the other one also passed a few weeks later. Their names were Cleo and Amber. Another rescue through Petco was a female robo hamster who had a badly scarred face. Half of her face had been ripped off because her idiot owners had put her in with another robo who was aggressive. They took her to Petco because they "couldn't afford" vet care. I adopted her after she healed and named her Braveheart. I loved all of the hamsters mentioned dearly. Thank you for what you do Munchie! People suck and you get these poor little creatures out of harm's way whenever you can. You rock!

I have male gerbils they are very cute I love Sammy the most

My daughter's name is Freyja, obviously love this name :)

There was this lady that had died that wanted to be buried with her dog. So the family scheduled a euthanasia appointment at my moms vet clinic and my mom said sorry no we can’t do that. Now the other vet tech at the vet clinic owns the dog.

6 i think it will take 6 calls!!

5 or 8 ( my two favorite numbers )

I think 15!

Could you please do a video on the split tank method? I own a robo and have no intention on owning mice or gerbils but I'm curious!

16 or 5!

This is a little off topic but at the same time relating to something you mentioned. A few years ago this family took their dog to the vet to get euthanized. Of course like vets are supposed to do they did a check up on the dog before euthanizing it. The vet noticed nothing wrong, the dog was completely healthy. The family just wanted to get rid of it right away, they didn’t want to deal with the dog so they thought it would be a good idea to euthanize it. The vet told them that this is not right and they shouldn’t do this but the family didn’t care and just wanted the dog gone. The vet couldn’t do that, she didn’t have the heart to so she just kept the dog and the family never knew. Hearing that just breaks my heart, like who would want to take the life of a completely healthy living animal?!? The vet that kept the dog is the vet that I go to all the time, she is so great. I’m so sorry about Sugar, you did the right thing. I really appreciate you taking your animals to the vet without hesitation. I really appreciate what you do. Thank you.🥰

Gerbils that “don’t get along” are just the introverts

I was gonna say 5 but waited. Bahaha!

I think 5

i think it will be petco number 11

i think #3

My guess is 4

I have a gerbil that I got from a friend that's been kept alone bc he was violent with his family and theyve kept him alone since. I want to him friends but I'm afraid it wont go well.

Hi, I was wondering what plants are safe for gerbils to interact with and possibly eat. I see a lot of people saying things are good for gerbils then alot of other people saying the same thing was bad for them. You seem to be an expert so I thought I'd ask you.

I can’t find the wishlist you were talking about in the video...really wanna help out

In Texas there’s lots of gerbils. Like at every petsmart and petco.
