I must have defective hamsters because all 3 of them are the laziest little things. I had them in a 75 gallon tank that was about 4 and a half feet long and all they did was sleep in one corner and play in a little 12 by 12 inch area.

My parents are the people who say that my robo hamster is ok in a small pet store cage and only has a food bowl, water bottle, a small sand bath, a strawberry hut, a 4 and a half inch wheel (it is ok with this at the moment since she is a baby) and one tiny tube and they think that they are ok with this because she is so small that this is big enough but i don't know what to do because even if I say I'll pay for it myself they still won't let me because it's a "waste is space and time for an animal that's going to die in a few years anyway..." they are the same with the rabbits in the garden who have no toys or anything but that's a different story for and other time... I'm not sure what to do because I want her to have a good life and have fun and be able to harness the energy she has and run and play all the time but I'm only 13 so if my parents say no I can't do anything about it anyway...

Personally, from my experience I was actually forced to move my black bear syrian hamster back to a ten gallon tank, when I first got her she had a ten gallon for two days so I could collect all the supplies for her bigger tank, once I moved her to the bigger tank she went wild she went from sleeping on me and cuddling to biting and being super anxious, I bought her more places to hide and it didn't help so I tried the ten gallon tank again and she went right back to being her lovely self. I'm not sure what is was but all I know is she prefers it and is happy with a small tank so I leave it that way. (side note, I have another Syrian in a 29 gallon and she loves it.)

@gilbertg8119 6 жыл бұрын

Great, informative video. I went to Pets at Home (I live in the UK) recently, to adopt/purchase a Syrian to go into a 40 gallon aquarium. My previous Syrian had lived in it and was very happy. When I told them it was a 40 gallon aquarium, they refused point blank to let me buy (there weren't any Syrians up for adoption) the hammie I had fallen for. They told me it was a new policy from the RSPCA. They said there would not be adequate ventilation and that it would be difficult to clean. I actually felt very upset and a teeny bit insulted, as my previous Syrian had been very happy and I had NEVER had ANY issues. I left feeling very upset and like a bad pet owner. I am a very experienced pet owner; moreso, I admit, with cats, dogs and chickens, but I had hammies before and am well aware of what they need to have a happy, healthy life.

I purchased a 20 gallon long tank when I originally adopted my Syrian hamster Samuel, I do think that the size is too small for him because he hasn't really seemed very happy in the past few months. I do have a spare 10 gallon tank and was wondering if maybe attaching the two tanks with ovo tubes would be a good idea. If anyone has any other suggestions that'd be great.

Thank you for the in-depth video! I haven't had a hamster in probably 10 years, and so I had a 20 gallon in mind as an acceptable size (my hamster as a kid was in a 15 gallon - he got a lot of time outside of it to run around but I still feel bad - I didn't know any better at that time), but after watching your video I went with a 40 gallon breeder for my new Syrian (Petco was a good tip - I got mine half off for $49). I'm relieved knowing my hamster will be comfortable with the space she has.

Very informative video! :) My female Syrian is in a 55gallon and I'm so glad for her to have the space. She's on the smaller side so the depth isn't a problem with her and she loves burrowing so it's a great choice for her. They really are such active animals and it always breaks my heart to see them in those tiny enclosures.

I'm in the UK and have never really seen these tanks in person (my local pet shop doesn't have tanks for sale in their shop), so this was definitely helpful to see the difference between the sizes. Even though I can check the exact sizes online, it's not really the same as seeing it all setup for a hamster. My dwarf is in a setup, which is a bit bigger than the 40g breeder, and I'm definitely glad I went for that instead of a smaller one, which would have been around the same size as the 20g tank.

I have a robo in a 20 gallon long. He has never shown signs of stress at all. He has a 6.5 inch wheel so it fits fine, and he has a lot more bedding on the other side of the cage than the wheel. He has everything he needs and several different toys and tunnels and things with plenty of space left.

I have my 2 hamsters (robo named Patches) and (fancy russian dwarf, black and white mottled color named Pepper). Used to have 5 hammys. I enjoy putting in lots of bedding in each of their tanks, they both love to borrow. I also provide them with variety toys,etc. If one day I can go larger with a diy I will.

@littlehammies 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for making this video! I really hope people take note. I get so frustrated seeing so many hamsters living in tiny cages, especially on KZfaq where a younger audience is influenced. It makes me really cross when KZfaqrs declare their cage is 'just below the minimum'. The recommended minimum exists for a reason. It is cruel to allow a hamster to live in a small cage. It is like forcing a human to live in a cupboard for their entire life. If you cannot afford a large enough cage or do not have the space, then do not get a hamster. Almost all of my rescue hams have come from living in ridiculous sized cages with tiny wheels. It is so upsetting. It was lovely seeing some of your precious past hammies. Lots of hugs to you and Carob.

@HoppingHammy 7 жыл бұрын

Yes, it is frustrating. I do try to take everyone's personal situations into account and offer advice based on that, but at the same time I can't lie and say that it's okay to use a small cage or dangerous wheel, for example. Anyway, I don't want to go off on a rant but I really do hope this video will encourage new hamster owners to start off with a bigger cage / tank rather than needing to upgrade down the road. :) I really appreciate your input and compliments! For some reason KZfaq marked your comment as spam, so I just now saw it and approved it as "not spam." Lol! Take care and hugs back!

i want to talk about the 20 gallon. when i first got my hamster, i bought him a 29 gallon tank. which technically is still a 20, just taller. my hamster when i first got him was a very scared little guy. he was 6 months old with barley any human interaction. i feel as if the 29 gallon was a good start. because of his stress, i feel it gave him enough room to roam and to feel safe. plus because it was a taller cage i was able to put alot of bedding in which i found his love for burrowing. (if u look at his cage now he has so many different tunnles!) haha. but after taming him, i did upgrade. the reason i upgraded is because i bought a Carolina Storm Express wheel. and that is true. that putting a bigger wheel in that 29 gallon gave him no room. he now lives in his 55 gallon tank where he has a flying saucer and the C.S.E. wheel and he is in heaven. its crazy to think this super scared little guy that would tremble in my hands when i hold him, now comes to the sound of my voice and lets me hold him and pet him and give him kisses. he likes the attention, but after about a mintue hes like "okay mommy. time to go back now" lol ❤❤❤ basicly long story short. ny hamster was completely happy with 360 sq. and i think it actually helped him become tamed. (just in my opinion. not an expert) lol

I know a hamster needs a good amount of space for a cage. But I think sometimes it gets out of hand while the size of a cage keeps getting bigger and bigger for the minimum.

@animalsfurever7899 5 жыл бұрын

LauraXD_Queen I think that 450 is a good minimum, but 1000 is too much for minimum. But if you can have a 1000 square inch cage, that is awesome considering in the wild hamsters have miles and miles of land to run and play in.

Yodel! Gingersnap! ❤❤❤ Another great point is the 40 gallon breeder/terranium for reptiles. It comes with a lid that slides in and it is light weight compared to the heavy aquariums! Great video!

Hey Hannah! I just had a crazy idea for a DIY cage. Now, I would appreciate some feedback from anyone out there. I was thinking of turning a 5 level bookcase into a cage for my future hamsters. I would connect the levels with tubes on the inside of the cage. Would this be a good idea? Also, the hamsters are so cute in this video. Have a great day!

Hi! I've seen some pretty awesome bookcase cages, so it certainly can work. :) May I ask the dimensions of each level on its own?

Hi! I was wondering if I could have a 20 gallon long w/ two critter trails attached is enough for one roborovski hamster! Great video btw.

Would the $40 tank be able to house 2 dwarf hamsters??

I bought a 70 gallon tank for my dwarf that im gonna buy. Is that fine too?

Sorry that I'm late and sorry I'm not Hannah! But that sounds like a really big cage lol. I think your little hammy will be in paradise because most cages in pet stores (if you bought one or adopted one) are tiny! (This applies to most shelters too). I hope your hamster - that I'm assuming you have after one month - is very happy right now.

Yes this is 11 months ago, but anything above 40 gallons is fine.

Is their a size too big for a dwarf hamster? I don't wanna over-kill my hamster. I want him to have the biggest tank size as possible.

I house my hamster in a 20gallon tank, and it's actually really tall so I put a lot of bedding in the cafe, she's pretty happy in it, I haven't noticed signs of stress or anything but I'm still trying to save for a bigger tank so she's even more happy and loves a better life.

I have a question why do you have to put a lid on the 40 gallon tank because a dwarf hamster can't escape and I don't have a younger sibling. So would I have to put a lid on it

No you don’t have to but I put a lid on mine just make sure not to get really high toys

I would put a lid on it, I bought one not thinking about them climbing out and they fell and sadly one died due to internal brain damage.. :(

@lunarbutterfly7 5 жыл бұрын

You might want to consider a lid if you have cats who may be curious about your tank and its occupant, or for peace of mind. I know my dwarf cannot hope to get near the top of my 40 gallon breeder but it just makes me feel better having the mesh lid on top haha

my dwarf hamster is currently in a 20 gal. tank and though he has not shown any signs of stress in the cage i am still going to get him a larger cage this year. i am most likely going to go with a 75 gal. because that has roughly 955 sq. inches of floor space and more height. i can’t wait to give him a better life! ❤️🐹
