Can we appreciate munchie please? She's having a really difficult time in her life, stress with all the animals and enormous vet bills, and we still get videos nearly every week. We love you munchie ❤ we don't mind missing a video or two (though I love them :) )

I am a child hamster owner and I’ve done SOOOO much research to learn how to take care of a hamster! I used to have 2 hamsters ( at different times ) and kept them in tiny cages with horrible wheels but I’ve learned from my mistakes and now adopted a new Russian dwarf hamster named Pebble with a 775 square inch bin cage! 😁 She enjoys it very much and I’m busy taking her now!

My hamster sometimes even get stressed out in his 700+ square inch cage I cannot imagine what these hamsters feel like and my hamster is a dwarf hamster!!!

My hamster got diabetes from the food we were feeding them since we got them. And I was looking for a better food and I ended up making my own healthy mix and he has got so much better since the only being on this diet for a month or so. He is looking and acting loads better and I’m so thankful for that.

The thumbnail is SOOOO CUTEEEEE

Since getting my hammy at the beginning of December 2020, I started with a crittertrail starter kit, then upgraded to a 20 gal tank with ledges, now I have a 66 gallon bin cage! Thank you for helping me with my research!

I just got a dog and I felt bad so I literally got my hamster a bigger cage than what he already had dw I still give him plenty of attention I could not abandon him. (800sq inches of floor space btw)

Such a gorgeous coat colouring he's gorgeous

I recently just was able to rescue a hamster from a bad situation his name is cheeks and he’s a super tiny and cute Chinese’s hamster., I love him so much and I’m so happy I was able to take him in!

I just recently discovered your channel recently after asking for constructive criticism on my multiple Crittertrail setup for my winter white, Bravoure, and getting pointed here, and while I was so upset to learn how I bought into misinformation, I was so glad to find such informative videos, and immediately set him up with a 600+ square inch bin cage! Thank you so much for everything you do, you're helping new and old hamster owners alike!

Hello I also own a rescue called valeries small animal rescue in Colorado and I’m so amazed to see another person rescuing amazing little babies like I am we are a new place of love to see how much more you grow ❤️

When I got my Syrian, I intended to keep getting hamsters, but to convince my parents, I told them having a schedule with him may help me organize myself, and I’d say that’s actually been a help. I’ve become more organized and downsized a lot of my stuff in order to have space for him, and I feel more on top of things. Any animal can help bring balance to your life as long as you’re willing to care for them and do the work.

I’ve learned so much from you Thank you so much I Previously had 4 Female mice & after they passed my hubby got me a female Syrian And we upgraded from a long tank to a prevue 528 thank you for the knowledge

I bought a syrian at Christmas for my little boy but I look after the hamster along with my partner and my little boy at the moment just gets to watch her play and help me clean her out. She is a bit shy still so we are getting her used to us and tame her before we even let my little boy hold her. Your videos have been great for me to learn the appropriate habitat for them, when I was younger I had russians and I had cages like this and never had enough bedding for burrowing it makes me feel so bad now that I did that. As soon as I decided to get a hamster I made sure to research and get everything ready before I bought her. She has a large tank and lots of bedding to burrow and I am adding to her toys now I know they need alot of chews and the platforms look great for her food and water. Thanks for all the great educating you do! I have certainly learnt alot.

Let's show munchie how much we love her and please continue subscribing to her KZfaq channel also don't forget to leave a like and comment on this video it helps her out a lot

I’m getting a hamster soon and have been watching your videos. I’m going to make a bin cage. I used to have a Robo hamster and did not research enough but now I know what to do! Thank you for making these videos to educate and saving hamsters!

Conflicting opinion: I am fine with parents getting them as a starter pet as long as they are prepared to take over for care, are kept in a family space, and are committed to care for their entire lives.

I recently rescued a male syrian hamster from an internett ad. It said that the owner could not keep the animal, and that they wanted her (they belived it to be a girl) to have a new and better home. The hamster was 3 or 4 months old when I got him, they were not sure. He had not been tamed . He was in a good size cage, the Savic hamster Haven. I am so glad they chose to give him to me. He had been miserable before. The bars had been chewed on many times. There was very little bedding and he was sleeping in a small plastic hide hanging from the ceiling. He didn't have a large enough wheel that he could use. When I got him I soon changed the set up of the cage. I installed some large platforms, a lot of paper based bedding, a large wheel, a sandbath and hides. He loved it. He was running on the wheel for 3 hours more or less non stop the first day. He is using his sandbath daily and is tamed hamster today. I am so happy that I got to adopt this cute calm little boy :D

My friend has this cage and I educated her about hamster care but instead of saying ok she yelled at me calling me stupid and that I know nothing about hamsters and then her mom yelled at me for “bullying” but I just calmly explained that she needs a different cage and she said were not friends anymore I feel sooo bad for her hamster but now I cannot do anything about it cause she refuses to listen 🙁

Hi I love this video and I love how you rescue animals I am an animal lover and want to help animals when I get older just like you do

I’m so glad he’s with you now

I’m just amazed you’ve managed to name every hamster you’ve rescued lmao

Aww all the work you do is amazing. I had tons of hampsters as a kid I loved them so much such cuties. Can't have one now as I've a cat so I'd be worried. Hi from Binky

If you want to get your kid a starter pet, get a tamagotchi or a furby. One off payment then just pay for batteries! Not even kidding, that’s what my parents did. They saw how responsible I was with my tama, and a plant, then they got me a hamster. His cage was a little smaller (but this was 20 years ago), but he had plenty of toys, chews, and my dad built a massive extension and took me to the pet shop every month to stock up on what I needed to care for him, using my own pocket money (although the parents did surprise me by buying upgrades when he needed them if I didn’t have enough). So my parents stepped up on where I fell short (because I was young and didn’t really have my own money) but I had overall responsibility in caring for him. He was nearly 4 when he passed. Parents, please, hamsters are amazing pets, I still have a ham now, but only buy your child a ham if they have shown a level of responsibility which you trust in them to care for another living thing, and only if you are willing to participate in the care when necessary. Otherwise, you’re encouraging the breeding of hamsters from profiteers playing on the demands of kids, then causing them to suffer.... just because they’re small and quiet doesn’t mean they don’t deserve the best quality of life possible......

He look so cute he also looks like my hamster also my hamster bite me today this brightened it up Edit: Guys I was giving her a treat carefully and calmly and I wasn’t making any noise

There was this person who was arguing with me over a vid that had at least 20 gerbil in 10 tiny tales cages connected together which is oviously way to small and when i mentioned 450 floor space they said "that my whole room" n that showed me that they didn't know basic math

Idk even knw how kids with all the info available on hamster online still buy these animals without knowing anything about their care. Shambles

Chadwick is BEAUTIFUL 💖💗

When I got my first hamster I was a pretty young teenager, around 13 ish. I had been wanting a hamster and did a little bit of research but was stupid enough to let my parents decide what the animal needed for me. So my little robo had a pretty rough start but when I started watching this channel and erinsanimals and a few others I upgraded her cage twice, once to a bin cage that was still a little below the minimum here in the UK. Then to the barney cage, which is around 100 by 50cm (i can't remember the square footage since I am taking a break from owning hamsters). So please do so much research before getting a pet, and when you think you have done enough, do even more. You can never know enough about these little guys in order to give them a great life

With all the tons of informative videos like this one and all the information available with a few clicks, there is NO excuse for not providing proper care for any animal other than laziness or not giving a crap. Hamsters and other small pets are not toys for children.

Love you munchie' Could you please make a video on the difference between gerbils and hamsters?

Your so lucky to be able to have so many hamsters my hamster just passed away and unfortunately I not allowed to get another because there to expensive and because of the virus...rest in peace gizmo

It's so sad that people just get them because they think that hamsters are "low maintenance" I have a long hair Syrian hamster and I always make sure that she has everything that she needs and makes sure she's comfortable

When me, my sister and my brothers turned 14 my parents gave us the option to get a small pet, on the grounds we proved to them we had done the research and know how to care for them. Mine came in the form of a 2 page fact sheet about mice care (which I'm proud of as it was pretty accurate for the information i know now and have gained from looking after them and rats for the past 5 years

Hii The hammy is soo cute

I love your channel so much

Great video as always!!!!!!

I'm new the having a hamster and I'm doing my research now because my husband found a hamster in a very small cage by our mailbox on 9/1. He's now in a 476 SQ in cage while we find space to put a bigger cage/bin. I'm looking into video about various things and I came across your video for the DIY bin, and started watching more of your videos. We never never planned on him so this all new to us and we are leaning as we go.

Poor baby

Awwww I'm glad you saved him! 💜💜💜💜

He is so cute! ❤️

I love the way you explain that hamsters are not the best pet for most children, as most people are just like ''NO HAMSTERS FOR KIDS!'' but I am a child/young teen and i had a winter white hamster (He since passed, i'm waiting to get an other hamster from an ethical breeder). I started with not the best care (I have seen way worse but my care was bad) but did my reserch to then upgrade him to a 645sq inch cage filled with enrichement. (He never showed signs of bordom) I agree that most children will not care for them right, but i love the way you kind of say some children give hamsters great care, but most of the time, hamsters are not well suited pet for children.

U have helped many hamsters it makes me so happy that u care!!! I SIGNED A PETITION AGAINST TINY TAIL CAGES!!😄😄 I despise those cages!

I love your videos so much you teach me a lot of information about hamster care and what new thing to get for my hamster

As a 15 year old I have a male dwarf hamster with a 1600 square inch cage and a female dwarf hamster with a 3450 square inch cage. Both of them have completely German setups with 30-45cm of bedding.

Yayyy! New rescue story!❤

I'm a child but I did research and my hamster is happy :))

i love you and your vids :)

Ya I'm a child and my sister made me take care of her guinea pigs, I was definitely not ready to take care of them and replace all of their stuff

Adorable 🙂😃

I am so grateful for the internet otherwise I would have had no idea the cages they sell at pet stores are cruel and inappropriate. My teenage son begged me for a hamster, and I thought, how hard can it be? Because I had never had one before and pet store makes it seem so easy. Luckily the pet store asked us to adopt for free a special-needs hamster on the condition we get her a large glass tank because she was chewing through plastic and wire cages and other homes. And so just like that I started off with a glass aquarium anyway. Even though my son is a teenager I have to admit he is mostly interested in her cuteness and not her care despite his promises to the contrary. I'm the one who cares for her like crazy and spend loads of time with her every night. I can't agree with you more that these are not starter pets for children. Since we've gotten this hamster many people have told us their stories of getting hamsters for their kids and knowing what I do now, most of them make me sad do to inferior care and early death of hamster. Of all the pets I've ever owned, aquatic snails are the easiest and would make a good starter pet for kids, but I think even a dog or a cat is a better pet for a child than a hamster. It is much harder to ignore a dog or cat, pets you can leave in cages are all too easily forgotten and neglected.

Im a teen hammy owner and I have done tons of research to convince my parents to let me have one. His name is Cookie and he is a Syrian in an Ikea Detolf. The only thing is that I don't think he likes been held or touched. Every time I try to like do bathtub time or use treats to let me hold him he just isnt too keen on it. He flinches when I put my hand near him and stuff. I have decided to just let him be and let him be chill in his cage. I've had him since early December last year sooo about 8 months or so. Just wanted to know if its alright if he just becomes a watching hammy 😂

If you want a starter pet the best one is a plant🌱 and tiny tales lift up your game and stop selling hamster traps or childrens toys

I swear the tiny tales cage he came in is nearly the size of my hamsters multi chamber hideout 😂 poor Chadwick 😔😔 so happy you’ve taken him in 🙃🙃

My hamster Nugget looks just like Chadwick! This is such a sad story and thanks to you my Syrian is now in a prevue!

y e s another video also when the kid lost interest in the hamster I was shook

Hi Munchie! I Love watching your videos💕 Oh and i have a hamster, her name is Tinkerbelle and she is the cutest💚 (her instagram: @tinkerbelle.sprinkle so you can see what she looks like if you want☺️) Tinkerbelle is a syrian hamster i think. The thing is that she used to bite the bars on her cage but she stopped doing that, we think it is because she didnt find her chewing toys but when she found them she stopped, th cage is pretty big (i dont know how big) if i could i would give her an enire room but i am 12 so the cage she has is good enough. Love you Munchie, cant wait for the next video💕

Pet stores using wired wheels is why I avoid going to certain stores. I shop at Petco for hamster supplies (bedding, toys, ect. But not cages) as petsmart uses wired wheels in their enclosures

All the people that disliked are the people that couldn’t be bothered to take care of their hamsters U^U

So many people ran out and grabbed hamsters during this pandemic only to get rid of them later...so sad for the little guys ☹️. Just a side note...luving 😍 that Daryl Dixon tank you have on.

I’m going to get my children hamsters / guinea pigs and use it as an opportunity to educate them on how they should be treated they are lovely pets and I certainly want more in the future but they are so cute and the fact they live a couple years is another reason to spoil them

For real tho that hair colour and length of hair looks so pretty!

How ironic, Chadwick looks almost identical to the Syrian hamster I just rescued and came from a similar situation as him 😅 so glad he’s doing better with you

he's SOOO cute

I love your videos so much munchie!!!💕I wanna start saving up more money so I can give my hamsters even better lives or even make my own small rescue with the help of my parents😂💕I’m a child hamster owner but has done so much research and grown so much by watching your videos!💕keep up the good work!🐹

Beautiful Young Women ❤

I've never been this early

I am only 11 and I still did my research About hamster care and how much bedding they need, wheels, how big the cage is and etc. but for my cage I went for a bin cage and I wish everyone could do their research before they get a pet

I wonder if some people just knew what a nightmare those cages are to clean if that would deter them from buying them

I have 14 Long haired Syrian hamsters and they all are in separate credit trail cages and they are doing fine and i am feeding them the food from walmart and they are still alive and breathing and happy so yall can listen to her and take her advice but this is my opinion

I am an 11 year old hamster owner, my hamster is a Robo and I think it will never be tame, idc about it because if he’s very scared of me I’m I’ll deal with it. He’s in a 1479 sq inches of floor space! He’s name is peanut and he’s 7-8 months old! My mom said if my grades are good we can get a bird/birds! But even if I got a bird, I would still respect and love my hamster❤️✨🐹

aw bless him, he looks like my hamster enzo!

i like your videos!

Rally good vidio ❤❤❤❤

Having hamster snuggles rn w my lil Syrian mango whilst we watch

I said it once and I'll say it again. If you cant take care of a hamster you cant take care of any other animals especially a cat which need a lot more care and attention because of how social they are. Another reason why I hate pet stores. At least with breeders they can control who gets the animals I hope someone gets that cat away from them because they dont have the maturity to take care of animals . I'm just so sick of this already. Laws need to change.

Some people just dont understand they need to give it. Bigger cage and better care Even I it's. Small animal people still need to love it as if it was a dog or cat

1:51 I have that bowl! Lol he’s so cute!

He looks similar to my new hamster. I took in a hamster a few days ago from a family who did a similar situation as Chadwick (teaching a child responsibility). The parent refused to even pick up or look after the hamster. I saw his ad on a local selling group. So I asked and took him in. You and your channel convinced me not to go to my pet shop and to look for a hamster in need rather then promote rodent mills. Your message has passed the Atlantic to England to make better choices.

I'm just curious May I ask what happend to the Guinea pigs you had in your care I love your videos in think what you do is amaizing xx

I hate when people decide to get rid of an animal because "they got another animal." The only situation in which you should rehome an animal due to another animal is if one animal is causing an unsafe environment for the other animal. I decided not to foster cats yet because i got a hamster and his safety is my priority. But i also have a snake and his safety and happiness is just as much a priority as my hanster. I got the snake in May and i still have him. I am going to keep them both and not just give up my snake because i now have a hamster. That's not how you treat an animal. I love them both equally. Also, it's sad that the hammy is 4 months old. For one thing it probably means they've only had him for 2 or 3 months but also, hamsters live only 1 1/2-2 years, so that 3 months could very well be 20% of the hamster's life and could feel like way longer to him than to the humans. Poor hamster.

earliest iv'e ever been

Hamster for us is to love ANDY to help the kid learn. BUT I CLEAN IT he is learning to play and shop and dote on and watches me clean. I supervise all interaction however. Not a hard concept.

munchie STOP YOUR HAIR IS DO PRETTY IT MAKES ME MAD 😂

I am a 10 close to 11 and I have a hamster it's my second one there both dwarth and I am the one who takes care of the hamster (both, cleaning, feed, ect) my cage is floor place except 3 floors and has tubes, 2 wheels and the cage was £21 I'm from England/Newcastle

Hi

I was watching a video of faze rugs hamster and the hamsters home was loads of critter trails put to gever with tubes and his play pen was a 40 gallon tank

Then there going to get bored of the cat

happy music

I have that same tiny Tails cage

Okay but why is your makeup+hair+outfit= super stylin' today?

I am learning a lot from your videos and also from Victoria Rachel both of your channels have helped me a lot to be a better hamster owner just one question what to do if your hamster bite to you do you have any advice what I can do

Chadwick looks just my new hamster Ohgee! I got Ohgee about a week ago and I did a ton of research before hand. I even got her from a shelter instead of petco! Ps: I am a kid sorry about my bad grammar

i think he was passed around, i think the going back to work ad was a dif person from the cage ad and the cage people bought him from the bin person

Can we just say if hamsters need at least 450 square inches in the us then cages that meet the requirements should only be on the market anything else should be ILLEGAL

On the wheel being noise I put vasalien

Smol baby hamster :0

Aww so cute!! I wish I could adopt from you. Sadly I don’t live close I’m from Florida. I feel bad for buying instead of adopting. I didn’t have any luck finding any for adoption. None the less I’m happy that I saved my ham. He didn’t even have a wheel at the pet store. He was all alone! I went to several petstores and called no one has hamsters. Most likely form the virus not sure. Either way he’s in a better place now. 💕🐹😊 I love your videos. Hope in the future I can legit rescue one.

I’m a child but I have done my research! I have a male Syrian with the prevue 528 and know how to halo him!
