I’ve had a hamster before who passed away and I’m so happy that I’ve found Victoria’s channel to learn more about hamster care

It got really really lonely, and having a hamster there awake with me to keep me company helped me so much!! It really felt like our time together as she kept me company and I got to watch her play. I miss having a hamster so much :(( I hope to get one again soon!!

My syrian Lulu has upgraded from a crittertrail to a 400sqinch to now a 600+ Sq inch with active plans to upgrade her, yet again! 😅 I am very grateful for the few, but educational people on KZhead for lending their education on hamsters!

We recently started branching out into more hamster (and other critter) adoptions and your videos have been such an incredible resource for me to learn about these pets and who they would be a good fit for. I’m seriously so grateful to be able to provide people and these little babies with the resources they need and your videos provided such an enjoyable and entertaining way for me to learn. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

I got my pet hamster called oreo like a year ago and it was super scared and everytime someone came in the room in jumped out of its comfort zone so I left him alone for about 2 weeks to get used to my house but after that my hamster was still scared so I realised I needed to take everything slowly so everyday at night I read him a story and everyday I gave him a treat out of the palm of my hand and since then and now he has let me pick him up yesterday and I’m rlly happy I gave him enough time to settle in! ❤️ Also I love this channel it helped me

  • I already have a hamster :) I didn’t know a lot about hamsters the day I got him, since I was at my cousins birthday party, and saw her hamster which was in a small cage with no toys, and no human to interact with. I offered to adopt him, so I used the whole night at their place researching, and convincing my parents. My mom loved animals, but wasn’t sure that I would have the time, and was scared that I would eventually forget about it like my older cousin did. I’m 13, and now have a hamster named Bob ;) I bought the detolf, and did SO much research about hamsters for him. I bought so much stuff it sounds like a lie 😅 I’ve always been saving my money, and been afraid to use it, but it’s like I found my call. He’s my angel, and I will do everything for him, since I told myself that even tho he’s really old, I would give him a special home for his last months. Considering the home he lived in before, he’s actually been alive for a long time now. If my cousin was right about his age, he is 2 years old right now, and is by the looks of it a winter white dwarf hamster. I’m not sure since they didn’t know ;)

She had kept two dwarfs in the habitrail, and when one died she got another one to put with the first hamster. One of the hamsters was a hybrid winter white/cambells and the other was a roborovski. She also bought them from a pet store. Thankfully I found this channel and was able to upgrade to a large bin cage with lots of bedding! My hamster is so much happier now. Victoria has saved so many hamsters from languishing in critter trails!

  • Amazing video, Victoria. This really helped me learn some new information that I didn’t already know. I made a few mistakes when I first got my hamster, Toffee. I got her a small cage, really unhealthy food, and unfortunately, took her wheel out on a night. I also made the mistake of having her in my bedroom, even though I was warned multiple times that she would be too noisy. Honestly, I feel really bad for how I treated my hamster. And it’s really lucky that I found your channel. Because a couple months ago I got Toffee a HUGE bin cage. And thanks to my sisters friend, Toffee now has a healthy diet made mainly of bird food. My sisters friend is an absolute expert with hamsters. She also has her wheel in on the night. But I couldn’t have learnt half of this information without finding your channel, so thank you. I mean it. Your channel has helped me so much with Toffee and I’m so happy that Toffee is now living a happy life, like she deserves. So thank you Victoria.

  • Hi, great video as ever. I'm lucky with my George because he is the tamest hamster I've ever owned and he likes human interaction. I typically leave him alone during the day to do his own thing, sleeping,eating etc. Sometimes he doesn't want to be disturbed which is why I leave him to his own devices in the day while checking to see if he is ok. Then at night is when I get to interact with him as he is more self aware and awake. He comes up to see me and I get him out in my hands for a bit. It's a shame to see people treat hamsters poorly sometimes especially when you've been a hamster owner for a few years like you and me. I look forward to your next video. ☺️

Although I love playing with her, and she has a huge cage and happy life I think I should have thought the cons so I wouldn't be surprised when she annoyed me or stressed me out to the point of me crying. I hope that if you are thinking about getting a hamster and come across this comment, you will think about it properly. Disclaimer: I love my hammy very much and she does play. Personally I have no regrets but for example people like my brother had to give me his since he was neglecting it. The hamster is a lot more social and happy now that he is with me.

  • Loved the vid! I adopted a Syrian hamster just over a month ago, but he’s absolutely terrified of everything. He run away as soon as we enter the room or a light turns on. On the odd occasion he does stay out when i enter the room, normally after 1am, he will take and pouch treats from me but then as soon as he got a few treats he will run down his burrow and not come back out till he knows we are 100% gone, as in he won’t come out for a good hour or so. Any tips to help reduce his fear and help bond? I’ve done the tissue paper with my scent on but it doesn’t seem to of helped☹️ I managed to get him out twice for bath time bonding and once free roaming but each time he just hid in a corner x

    • @Augie the Hamster Hello! Thank you! I’m glad to hear this isn’t just my hamster! As long as he’s okay I’m glad, I was just worried that it was causing him stress. I don’t want to force a relationship with him, if he is a ghost hamster that’s okay, I just don’t want to stress him out or for something else to be causing this! But I’m glad that you managed to be able to pet yours. On the odd occasion he is out, he will take a couple of snacks and he will let me stroke him gently which he doesn’t seem to mind which is good. However I have noticed some night he doesn’t use his wheel, he has a 12 inch wheel but as I’m not able to be in the room while he does use it I’m unsure as to if there could be a problem when he runs on it as in it could be wobbling or something (it spins fine with my fingers however with him in there it could be different)

  • Love this video! So glad you touched on all the points! I have three hamsters as well and before adopting them I watched ALL your videos. All of my hammies are living their best life! One doesn’t like to be held, but I love her to death, my other loves to hop in my hand and let’s me hold her and give her little rubsies…my most recent hamster is a rescue and he’s a long haired Syrian who’s terrified of his own shadow. He takes treats from my hand and occasionally lets me pet him. I never try to force any unwanted interaction with him and use the cup method for transferring him to his playpen. As long as my hammies are living a happy, healthy, and enriched life, I enjoy just being in their presence!

  • This video is so informative! I’ll definitely send this to people if they are thinking of getting a hamster. The thing about hamsters that is most difficult for me is the short lifespans. I’ve so far been lucky with lifespans because my first hamster lived for over 2 years (before he had to be put to sleep because he was very ill and in pain) and my current boy, who is 1 and a half years old.

At t he same time they can teach me a lot about responsibility which is why I wanted a hamster to learn how to properly take care of an animal. Your videos have helped me a lot and so I have gained the courage to ask my parents for a hamster for Christmas and I promise to continue doing everything you say to do so the hamster can be happy 🥰.

  • We have 2 hamsters, nutty and pumpkin. We just got pumpkin last week, she's only a baby and she is very cute! 🥰 Nutty, out nearly one year old hamster has a very strict routine so is a bit hard to get out at night as she does her routine first! We've had 2 hamsters before her and neither had such a strict routine like nutty, and I've never really heard of this🤔 They are both very tame hammies though and we love them very much 😀💖
