Awesomepuppygirl2008 Holt same😂😂

Lol same

Agreed.

Don't give up. After about 1 year old their personality usually change and they start actually to love people. I had 3 very skittish robo hammies and 2 hammies became absolutely lovely and even cuddly after they've turned 1 year old. The 3rd one is still too young, approx. 3 months old, so it's still very skittinsh, but I never give up and constantly taming it.

Robo Hammies thanks for the tip, i'm planning on getting ones and i read this comment and was thinking otherwise but this reassured me haha

Alexis the Wolf awww mine sleeps on my lap sometimes

lucky mine just jumps off

Mine just jump off

Cool mine is running away and it is not petting. My previous hamster was like yours. Can you guys give me advices, becouse he is still wild.

@@lazarnozanic2717 take your time with it. put your hand in the cage time to time with food on your palm and see if they eat the food on your hand. If they don’t that’s ok just keep trying :)

They can get stressed if they dont have enough room to run. Im so glad yours seems happy now! Yay💚

Mine was tamed in less than 4 days

Cubert Humberdale If the cage was too small it might have caused stress

@@maximusregaurd1134 mine still isn't. It was the smallest of its litter and had a bad past.

Cubert Humberdale they can be stressed in a small cage

Rose Vampire did the little mouse bite? We don’t really have field mice here but I’ve always thought about pet ones🤔

I have fancy mice and they don't bite. They are the friendliest and most social creatures :)

That most likely means that they were bored.

You should never keep wild animals as pets.

@@AwesomepuppygirlHolt it means that they don't have enough space

Emily Dupl If he/she doesn't want to be picked up don't pick him up. Just hand feed him dayly and put your hand in the cage with food on it. Don't force and be very patient. Don't give up xx

Its January 30 today man

@@Yeewen88 yeah

my hamster is called marshmallow too

Thank you! Someone who understands this. There is no such thing as a “social” hamster; they’re solitary, regardless of species.

They should have them in your local pet store. They are usually not made for hamster *specifically* , but they should be in the bird section.

@@AwesomepuppygirlHolt or iguana. Reptile use them alot tho.

Graciela Perez no way

Graciela Perez 🥺🥺🥺

Same mine sleeps on my lap🐹

Lol

my Syrian died at Christmas last year we had to say goodbye in the same way, we found her lying in her cage not herself so we took her to the vet and they had to put her down. It was heartbreaking. 🥺

Mikey Finger you could always get something rough to put under their water bottle like lava ledges meant for birds! it does a good job at keeping them trim

What did you end up getting? I'm nervous about nail clipping top, managed it with my dwarfs and Syrians but that was difficult enough!

Mikey Finger I suggest keeping one Robo or one other hamster breed. 800sq.inches is two small for two hamsters because you'll need two of everything. I recommend for two robovoski hamster an ikea detolf. Best wishes for your choice xx

Marissa Williams Male’s stink more!

Both smell the same besides the fact that females go into heat every 4 days and can put off an odd smell. Males pee on more perimeter of there cage sometimes. It all really depends on the hamster there all different!

@@alainasmithyb thanks.. I actually ended up getting a male not too long after posting that question. He'll be 2 this December. I had mice growing up & can definitely say the experience is much different! I've really enjoyed and loved it!

Brought my son 2 robos and I have just ordered a large play pen as I was going to do the same as you suggested. They are so fast and I’m worried they will fall or hurt themselves if we tried just sitting on the couch with them. My son is use to Syrians which are a little slower and much larger, he’s had 2 Syrians and both have been so cuddly and tame and not minded being handled. I can tell it’s going to be different with the 2 little fluffy marshmallows 🤣 I guess we will see how it goes. So far he’s been taking to them and laying his hand flat in the cage with a treat on, one of them has sat in his hand but that’s about it. He’s only had them 2 days so i have told him it will take time, but will interact with them everyday so they get use to him and not feel frightened.

Watch Victoria Rachel for some great tips! I’ll give some as well. 450 square inches of floor space is the bare minimum for hamsters, anything less is abuse. (Bin cages are a very cheap alternative) 6-10 inches of bedding needs to be provided so they can borrow and do there natural behaviors. There teeth constantly grow so which things to chew on like wooden chews there will be medical problems. None of the pet store foods provide the diet hamsters need so I recommend getting and mixing Missouri ray and mouse food and Higgins sunburst gourmet hamster and gerbil food. A sand bath is needed so your hamster can clean themselves as baths are harmful. Children’s play sand is safe but sands for hamsters and other animals are not. Enrichment is very important so some tips are many toys and things to hide under climb and chew on. Scatter feeding there food so they can forage for it like in the wild Last thing (and I know this was a lot I just wish you the best!) is that all hamsters need at least a 8.5in wheel to prevent thete spine from bending. Syrian hamsters (the biggest type of hamster) could need a 12in. Again I recommend Victoria Rachel for so many tips on giving your animal the best life it can have.

Ruby Duncan really wouldn’t recommend getting 2 in the same cage! But as long as u have a cage extra just in case then thats is ok :)

Hamster Care And Things why not in the same cage?

Bas because they can fight, and in can cause death

Hamster Care And Things but I thought if you want to keep hamsters together, like not as a couple, the best species to do that with are roborovski’s.

Bas they can live together, but can still kill each other if they wanted to! So i wouldn’t house them together

It’s most likely would be okay. Just be sure to watch for signs of stress and as long as you have none of that it’s okay. But I really want to stress that hamsters are solitary animals. Which means they prefer to be alone and that’s best for them. Pairs are only risks that aren’t necessary. If you haven’t already I definitely would stick with only one for the hamsters well-being.

Take time

elizabeth franco the minimum is 450 squared inches so get a very large bin cage...You can drill holes in the lid but I recommend cutting a big whole and using wire mesh!!

A 100 quart bin is nice

Hey I don’t have one, but I think if you try to feed him with food on your hand that might help. Otherwise just be patient!

i don’t think they need labblocks, the protein should come from their food mix if it’s a good quality food, but extra protein can be given through small bits of cooked egg ( to be given in moderation ) , mealworms etc. and what do you mean by rat and mouse blocks?

A 10 gallon is way to small. The minimum for hamsters is 450 square inches of floor space and only a 50 gallon can provide that. I’d recommend a 100 quart bin cage which provides the minimum and you can make it for around $20. Victoria Rachel has a video on how to make one. Good luck!

Upgrading your cage to the minimum can also change your hamsters personality for the better! They are so so much happier when you give them what they need and deserve.

Sometimes having to small of a cage will cause this! Upgrading will change there entire personality

Hi! Does ur dwarf move a lot not like moving more like shaking but not to much it’s like he’s wigling, mine doesn’t look sick she just wiggles and I’m not sure if I should be worried

@@taeswinterbear6218 no I got a few robo hampsters no dwarf hampsters....but they dnt shake...my hampster will go from side to side on the cage like it's looking for something!

Summer McG she made her own

@@alainasmithyb do you think the critter trial super-habitat cage is big enough? it’s 540 square inches :)

@@yaarn303 I think it would be an okay started cage. But I personally would go for a bin as it’s cheaper and you could give your hamster more space with this option. I don’t like to support critter trails as most of their cages are terrible.

Call your pet stores and ask about adoption, and check Craigslist.

The videos arent lies and they need their nails clipped.

Sherwood Smallpets ok but mine have always been fine ?

@@sherwoodsmallpets wont the mineral stone works for their nail too? 🤔

Why hello again... 😬😂😎

It’s better to keep them alone, it’s possible they can fight, but it’s ok to keep them together. Sorry I don’t know much about hamsters, your best bet would be searching it up or watching hamster videos :p

Mario Khoe nope its recommend u do not keep any species of hamster together

It’s paper shreds that people use are filler for gifts and things, I definitely wouldn’t recommend it because it doesn’t hold burrows at all.

Harrison Stanton You have a roborovski?

sunnytea yes I do

@@harrisonstanton1732 cool thanks!

A bit late but my robo hamster doesn't hate me nor is super frightened. I say she's shy and easy to spook but so curious to. Shes ran over my hands sniffed my hands nibbled my hands and I got to learn about her behaviours as she's learned mine through me taming. Also she's 9 weeks old.

Star gazing is the most common thing she might do,it is stress and it changes the behavior,I suggest take her or him to the vet

Tiffi Phammie That’s not what Star Gazing is. Star Gazing is basically back flipping. Sounds like an ear infection.

rebecca xx why?

All hamsters all solitary and this vid was a while ago you should look at updated care

Unfortunately the bare minimum for hamsters is 450 square feet which only a 50 gallon provides. I’d recommend a 100 quart bin cage which is cheap and provides the minimum
