My PetSmart finally had the Tiny Tales XL Dinosaur cage in stock so I snagged it so I could finally see it for myself and give a full review.
Please sign the PetSmart cage petition: www.change.org/p/petsmart-mak...
It also helps if you let PetSmart know how you feel about their line of cages the louder our voices are the more likely they are to be heard.

First Edit: thanks for the likes
Hi! (Edit: Thank y’all for the likes!) Also this hamster cage is a JOKE!
Thank you for the petition link. Gee, these kids toys DEFINITELY shouldn’t be legal to keep any small animal in.
I love that you have these awesome links to help people know about great cages that are cheap!!!
Is there an age for the petition?? :)
Not only bad for hamsters, it’s a waste of plastic
yessss! save the turtles!
Amina Tyson nobody says that anymore😭
It’s not only bad for the hamsters it’s bad for the turtles too
maddy morgan ok and? We still should
Yes
The box is a better hamster cage then George.
literally

i laughed way too hard at this comment lmao. the _accuracy_
litterly
@@jacksonns333 How did you do that to the word 'accuracy'?

_wow_
when I was getting my first hamster (Russian dwarf) my local pet store suggested that I checked out your channel to have a happy hamster and thank you for really improving my care for my hamster!
Wow that's really cool to hear! I'm happy I could help!
Is so mutch bad cage the min is 80x40 cm and no any add floors only one non plastic only wood so your hamsters are stick so buy fish thank that's better than this.ur hamsters are only poor I'm sad more of people have hamster cage like this😭 most hamster have bad cages like 30x20cm and this is so mutch sad people don't know any information of hamsters and have bad cages . More hamsters have bad cage bc you made sponsored videos by people buy to his hamsters cage like this😭
havent watched but how you gonna clean that without losing an arm
oof
Fr like-
Who needs arms
Ikr
Never because the hamster will die in this cage after a week.
That dino is a pure waste of materials 🙄
Kimi Hime I know 😒

And a hamster can chew though it
@@KL96012 not really? I mean some might but not kany hamsters do that. It ain't a gerbil
The facy that parents have actually bought this cage for their children's hamster is heartbreaking!! All those hamsters who have been crammed into such a small space 😭 I'm soo shocked!!!
i work at petsmart and i always try to have people NOT buy the hamster cages and recommend getting a 20 gallon fish tank instead (bc it’s the same price as one of the small ones) but people always are like “no it’s okay i’ll just get the cage” AND IT MAKES ME HHHH but yeah working at petsmart is hell ❤️
actually a 20 gallon tank is still too small unfortunately! where i live the welfare standard dictates at least 75gal for tank enclosures
@@urdadsleftasshole69 yeah but 20gal is still better than any of the wire caged we sell! unfortunately no matter how much i try to convince people they wont get the bigger ones :(
_yes_
If I was a hamster I imagine this feels like living in the McDonald's play place
I was always terrified of that thing collapsing from my weight or on top of me, oof
Rosaire Daigle Same I was always afraid that the dangling ball room was gonna fall when I was in it
That is a very accurate comparison
Okay but this is far worse than that. Because living in the play place seems dope.
I've never had a play place in our mcdonals
I don’t understand why people spend almost $100 on these horrible “enclosures” when HUGE bin cages exist for $20...
Jaylie Bear LoL yeah
29 gallon tanks with a top cost like $100, haha. 40-50 is probably closer to 150, but that would still be better than this garbage lmao
@Marky Puppet go to target and get a giant tub for $20. Cut a hole on the top/side and staple/glue mesh to the hole for ventilation. Boom hamster cage
Marky Puppet at walmart or target
Jaylie Bear exactly my first hamster cage was a massive bin cage before my dad made one from acrylic that was 4feet by 3feet
Dear petsmart: 👏tubes👏Do👏Not👏Count👏As👏Floor space👏. 👏floorspace👏Is👏The👏Cage👏Itself👏
yes
Say👏it👏LOUDER👏
Unfortunately petsmart doesn’t make the cages for the most part- I’m sure they have some that are them though- they just have the ones available from other ‘pet’ companies. Wish more companies with large cages were partnered with these pet stores, not sure which side that’s on though. It’s frustrating
Say it louder for petco in the back
Petsmart? More like petdumb
The box it came in would literally be better for a hamster!
The hamster would chew through the cardboard and escape with no problem, but if it was made of a different material then yeah!
@@redpuyo24 Um I’m sure they weren’t suggesting housing a hamster in a cardboard box.
@@diamondmarie6559 I know that, I'm just going along with their hyperbolic statement
I feel like if I were a little kid and had no clue how to care for a hamster, this would be the coolest thing ever because.. well its a big dinosaur 🤦🏻♀️ It's so obvious what age range Petsmart is marketing to, so disgusting. Poor hamsters. Glad you're highlighting this :)
Today i saw someone at petsmart getting a hamster and they were getting a really bad critter trail. THE GIRL WAS LITERALLY LIKE 5 YEARS OLD! and i think she was getting a robo- which is the hardest to take care of. Pet smart makes me madddd
I probably would have too! Which makes it totally unfair. Most of the time it's not even the consumers fault when they buy these cages, half the time they're misinformed and end up buying them.
Same like if I saw this I would want it so bad but now I see how terrible these are
I’m 10 and a year ago when I had a ham I did a ton of research before getting one! He was in a tiny tails because my parents didn’t understand why he needed a big cage but we soon got a bin cage for him! I now have a different hammy.
Beth Benson robo? that reminds me of my old hamster mr.robot and he was so scared of everything until i gave him a good life and he trusted me! he lived 4 happy years and i loved him so much.
Tiny tales should stop making hamster cages and start designing play grounds. Honestly kids would LOVE to play in that if it was big honestly 😌
Yes, they should
yes great idea!
@Nora Rose Lol yes definitely I can just imagine my 6 year old brother living his best life whilst looking out from George 😂
IKR
I have a big blue wire cage. I wanna upgrade but my dad doesn’t want too
At first I had a tiny tales cage because they sold it at the store but then I realized how tiny it was so I got a bigger and better cage. (I used a large aquarium)
My friend and I just did the same thing! Took a clear plastic bin and drilled holes in it! I wish we did that first. It’s just way too tiny and heartbreaking. But mine has wet tail and I don’t think he’s drinking the medicine so I’m sad lol
My heart hurts for the hamsters out there. I have a little hamster named Beans and my dad made him a suitable cage with lots of floor space and room for burrowing after I watched your videos. Thanks for making his life better than most hamsters💕
I know this comment is old but I just wanted to say I agree so much, and also I have dog named Beans lol
Im deciding between making a ikea linnmon cage or the ikea detolf

Hahahah
Ha, YA! It's so true though😂
People act like hamsters are toys, escpecially the back “collect them all and combine them!”
Fluffy Animations same with budgies
@@ILikeBirds anf other birbs with FUN COLORS or reptiles..really anything cute or colorful to kids and idiots
gooble gobble yeah
Combine the hamsters?
@@theotterone4111 "Let's create mutants! Smush them together into a cage and let's see what we'll get!"
“You don’t even go here” Me automatically thinks of Mean Girls: 👁👄👁
Petsmart knows that when a kid is gonna see that, they'll say "mommy that looks so cool I want it"
I saw this cage at my local pet smart and I literally thought, “if Victoria saw this, she’d be sick” and here we are 😭
Not surprised
That's funny I did to she has helped me have a great cage for my hamster
Omg me to I saw this at petsmart it just made me sad how are you going to clean poop
Hamsters are pets not entertainment
I can't believe people actually think this is a HAMSTER CAGE. it looks like a five year old's toy!
It looks like you could put hex bugs in there and watch them
it doesn't even fit a ruler......
It looks like a house for dolls
@@elladaffron9520 I would rather keep it as a toy for the next time a kid visits
IWUVSUSHI me acidly I think it is to dangerous for a 3 year old they could get there hand stuck
When I was at *PetSmart* looking at hamsters and hamster things, I saw this cage! I told my mom if I ever got a hamster, then we *HAVE* to get this cage. Now, a few months later- I saw this video and realized this is not a good cage.. so thank you!! 😊🌿✨
“How can something so big be so small” 1# quote of the year!
imagine, a hamster needs bedding too. another reason why it’s HORRIBLE!
Yas
I mean DUHHH right?! Woww!!😒
YES that’s what I thought
Well it's deep enough to have a good layer of bedding in the stomach
Destination Addiction Samsara well yes, it can have a small layer but certainly not enough for a hamster to burrow!
The more I research about getting a small pet, the more I realize how mistreated they are in so many ways and how some pet stores not only allow it but encourage it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I hope they change their products.
Yeah, small animals and fish everyone thinks it's so easy to properly take care of fish
@CONNOR PARKS right? Those who knew proper hamster care has somewhat limited options... sth else not specifically made for hamster. Must sort through and stay away fro small hamster wheels and soft plastic hamster furnitures, small cages etc that is everywhere on the market. And then for proper cage you still gotta DIY, buy furniture (ikea detolf or whatever), bin, or a small handful of good hamster cage brands (like niteangel), or the kaytee super habitat (idk the extra large one) savic or sth
I personally bought a hamster a month ago and bought a small cage because I didn’t research before hand, the lady told my just to connect them to other cages for more space. I am now building her a cage that will have 1,152 sq in of floor space, the cage I have her in now is a temporary enclosure of two ten gallons linked up. (I upgraded her from the first cage to a ten gallon and then just a few days ago linked a second one) people really need to start hiring employees that have more knowledge the woman I talked to had a hamster herself and said she had a bin cage when I asked if the store bought cages were okay she said yes. I know she was only doing her job and this was mostly my fault for not doing research before hand and I’m racked with guilt but this is just no okay.
People suggest not manufacture these cages in the first place because it can lead people to just assume that the store knows what they’re talking about or that the employee has more knowledge than they actually do.
Yeah and it's sad that people will bash you for trying to tell them the way their pet is living is inhumane or even if they are trying to buy cages like this, especially if it's in a respectful way
"Its by all living things" WELL IF YOU PUT THEM IN THAT CAGE THEY WONT BE LIVING MUCH LONGER
It's still shocking to see how bad animal care in the USA is. German hamstercare is great, I got all the information and a 1m² enclosure for my baby. Even in our petstores they use proper wooden bedding and no pink paper stuff. And it's still animal cruelty. I really don't get how this can still be legal. Gladly those dinosaurs aren't allowed to be selled here.
this is disgusting 🤮 imagine living in a bathroom your whole life, how would you feel? hamsters are not disposable animals, they are beautiful living beings that need as much care as anything that is alive. THEY ARE NOT TOYS! stop giving your young children animals that they do not know how to look after as toys. they are living beings. please stop. it’s a pet not a toy.😢🐹
PREACH. I fully agree.
I know SOOO many people hurt hamsters everyday
They are the sweetest things ever and they are adorable and super special
I am kinda young BUT I did research and I have a proper cage for my hammy!!! But do TOTALLY agree with u!!
Sanjana Agrawal haha that’s fine. what i meant was when people buy their children pets for christmas etc. as long as they do research it should be fine ❤️
What pet owners want: Bigger hamster cages and to teach kids hamsters aren’t toys. Pet shops: Haha what about a dinosaur “cage”?
Heyyy!😂I was scrolling through the comment section and I was like oh my gosh it’s creampuff😂😂😂but yeah fr ugh it’s so annoying T_T
Kalee Pep Hi ahah lol, and yeah it is kinda annoying 😂😕
bru
AMEN! They need to get their act right. My son says Petco is MUCH better at providing larger more suitable cages and smaller ones are even labeled as "travel size" not starters. Also you will never see crap like this there!!
Yesterday I went to get a hamster for my birthday,they literally had a sign up saying”safe for hamsters” on the box.
This reminds me of those "instant pet kits" and that's probably what goes through these company's selfish pea brains
I’m glad that there are people on KZhead like her who give good information and educate people about the correct way to house animals.
I hate it when people say, “it’s just a hamster, it doesn’t care what it lives in.” A hamster is a living breathing animal that deserves to live a healthy happy life. Yes, it’s true that hamsters do not perceive their surroundings the same way human beings do, but that being said, hamsters do know when they are being harmed and forcing a hamster to live in this cage is abusive towards your pet.
Jimena Me neither-
True
this is so true when my friend said that her friend got a hamster and her hamsters cage is literally like a travel cage i told her that if i saw her friend i would punch her in the face lol i mean like who would do thattttttttttt........
Eric Wallis stfu if i slam a dog on the floor, is it gonna tell me in english that it doesn't like that?
Well I'll imprison that person and retell all the things she/he said on a version dedicated for him/her.

I have a Syrian Hamster named chubs. My sister and I follow up on your videos we have a large bin cage and lots of enrichment plus 8 inches of bedding. So glad I get to follow up on your videos and learn more about hamster care. TYSM VICTORIA 😊
My pet store the first time I bought my glass cage she said they wish they sold better cages which made me happy
I don’t know how PETA isn’t in petsmart or petcos ass about cages . The “rabbit” cages are the ones that are the appropriate size for hamsters
Ikr
Ikr
They do actually have some anti-pet store petitions because pet stores support rodent mills, but obviously nothing has been done so...
Someone from PETA made a vid about petco or petsmart,idk.
@•ericcaa• true, seems like they care more about digital animals than ones in real life
I don’t know what hamster wants to live in a freaking McDonald’s play place, like I don’t think ANY hamster wants to live in THAT... 😕
the mcdonalds play place is bigger than that piece of poo
Does any human want to live there either... Like it might be fun for a bit, but that's not a place that has bare necessities. So yes this cage is bad
i sadly had the tiny tales farm cage for my hamster for the longest time, i recently got a 650 square inch bin cage! my hamster is so much happier
I don’t have a hamster but this cage gives me anxiety 😫😤 most pet companies frustrate me. 😢 Just signed the petition 👍
Too small Can't fit any bedding Looks like a toy to kids Too expensive for a bad cage Causes a lot of stress Dumb stickers Doesn't even fit a wheel And hamsters can barely breathe and run in it
Period
💯th like
*YuNgBlUd bHc* you can probably get a 100 gallon tank cheaper. But again what is pet smart making out of that
Sounds crappy.😒
What happens if your hamster doesn't have a wheel. My hamster is in his smaller cage(regular cage like hers from the beginning ) because the bigger one is broken. He escaped once from the big one and once in the small one when the pet area wasn't locked. Anyways, my hamster cannot have a wheel I his smaller cage so I'm unsure what to do.
DEFINITELY just waiting for a kid to yell out “MOM I WANT A HAMSTER” after seeing that in the store... and an uninformed mom or dad agreeing and getting this. The poor hamster will be in this dinosaur forgotten after a month, or worse, the kid starts playing with the dinosaur while the hamster is still in there. :/
Poor hamster
Oh wow that’s sad😢
bro how come kids like that get a hamster while i’m actually educated on taking care of them and still can’t get one
BetterBetta I know someone who got a little critter trail for their hamster and he died in a few weeks. They never gave the poor little man water.
Nevaehs Pets aww 😕

My mom just signed the petition thing for me! I’m so happy I helped a little and I shared it with my friends and copy linked a ton!
Tiny tales: wE mAkE tHe bEsT cAgEs Bins: *watch me*
yes.
Hold my lid😑
Yes.
Yup. Just Yup.
Some glass cabinet: watch and learn...
The fact that someone will actually buy this cage thinking its a GREAT home for their hamster is just....heartbreaking............
The owner doesn’t know,probably is just a kid that doesn’t know anything about a hamster,I highly recommend first knowing about the pet you are just about of owning
I love your videos, you have the same love, respect and passion for these creatures as I do bettafish. Thank you for providing proper knowledge on how to care for them♡
I totally agree when you say "a pet is not your entertainment". I'm always against buying an animal for a kid, unless the kid loves animals and wants learn to take care of them and, ofc, the parents wants take care of the animal as well in case the kid loses interest. It happened exactly with my brother. He bought an hamster for this 4years old son, but hamsters can bite and are squishy, they're not a plush. Plus, they live more during the night. In the end, the hamster he bought has been left in a plastic cage by itself. I won't show you the photos of his enclosure. Just know i changed it asap with a temporary one. Now the hamster is with me and in a few weeks he's going to get a new big and shiney enclosure. I want the best for him! I'll buy what he needs. Me and my mom didn't it before because we had no idea my brother had left even his hamster at home lol and we lack of money this month. It's matter of 2-3 weeks :D Sorry for the long comment. I want thank you for the information you share with us. When i started to read about hamsters (and other rodents), i knew only a few of these things. I discovered your channel and I'm watching all the videos :D And I'm glad in Italy we don't have these weird cages lol yes, we have small ones, plastic etc, but nothing like this dinosaur monstrosity 😱
I love how it says that the cage is "Extra Large" but It's almost smaller than my multi chamber hideout.
Where did u get it and how much was it? I’m looking to get one for my new bin cage xx
@@emilypike5102 I got it from rodipet :) www.rodipet.co.uk/houses/rodipet-hamster-house-maze-davinci-41x26-cm-7cm.html
Accurate
This is actually so heartbreaking to me that a hamster will be stuck inside this cage for the rest of it’s life. No hamster should have to survive in a small enclosed space such as this, it’s abuse.
Arthoria yes, she might have misused the word abuse, but if you can’t afford the pet, don’t get the pet. If you can’t provide a proper sized cage because you say it costs too much, try bin cages that can be $20-$30.
Calm down
Arthoria I stand by what I said. If you cannot afford to correctly provide the proper care for a hamster then you shouldn’t be owning one at all. It’s animal abuse for a living creature to be kept in an enclosure like that.
@Arthoria bin cages are cheaper than this, they can be 20-40 dollars when you put a mesh top into it so they don’t get out and this dinosaur cage is 75 dollars. also other people have pointed this out, but if you don’t have the money to properly care for an animal and give them a happy life and a large enclosure, then don’t get that animal.
The amount I feel bad for my hamster rn since I'm still saving up to buy the right amount bedding,food,hideouts and etc.I really hope I get a better one as fast as I can 😭. Thank you so much for the advices.You helped me so much until I have to watch every vids that you make.your vids is also really relaxing!!
When she said "you dont even go here" it reminded me of Mean Girls 😂 Edit:Why did I think Sadie was a huge hamster 😂
I'm so glad that my mom never let me have a hamster when i was a child.
unfortunately mine did
@@liz-gj1vz same I regret everything 😔
me too. i’ve wanted one since i was six and read books about hamster care but my parents still didn’t let me have one. now i have the ability to learn about proper care instead of outdated books from the 90s and i’m getting my first hamster soon.
Well if I wanted a hamster I was forced to do research so now my hamster is in good care
i had guinea pigs and they were not happy
This cage is so stressful, I wouldn’t sleep all night worried about my hamster in this thing!
It’s so sad to see cages like this, imagine living in that cage for the rest of your life? Having to climb up all the way the neck, and just having all that stress.
The last bit of things to do with the dinosaur cage was funny. Keep up the good work!
“Hamster toy or cage?” me: that’s a whole jail
Yep
Prison
omg yessss
Literally, it looks like there’s jail bars built in
Nah man; that's a 7 11 bathroom
And they expect little kids/or their parents, to properly clean!?
Me: about to give like 100.... also me: Noooo someone beat me to it by 1 second😭
exactly that’s gonna be a nightmare to clean
I was about to say the same. It's made to be appealing to children but within a week the parents and child (assuming this child is old enough to even clean the enclosure) are going to be sick of it, leading to half hearted cleaning and in the long run the hamsters most likely either going to get sick or be given away.
IF I DIDN’T READ THE CAPTION OF THIS VIDEO- I would have thought this was a plastic lego dinosaur set💀💀💀💀
0:54 sad thing is that's the hamster cage I have my hamster in right now, it was recommended to me by one of the employees when I was purchasing my first hamster. Then again I have a roborovski drwarf hamster and he doesn't seem to mind it that much, but maybe in the future I'll consider moving him to something bigger. Update: I have gone ahead and moved my hammy over to a larger bin cage and I even got another hammy, separate cages of course and love them both.
I have the tiny tales house cage and my hamster loves it it always runs on the wheel happily
@@Europets2 is true.
@@Titilululikescata UPGRADE THE CAGE
@@Titilululikescata wait what do you mean "runs on his wheel?" How small is he?
I'm really glad I'm getting my new hamster a bin cage. No more critter trail for him!
Its kinda upsetting that cages of the size you need are like $100 when you can get a bin or even make a cage even bigger for $30
YAY!
I got my hamster a critter trail/kaytee cage for my Syrian hamster and I was uncomfortable from the start luckily my freind had a cage and some supplies from her hamster coconut who sadly passed away And smoky is a happy hamster now!!🙃
I have a unsuitable hamster cage and I spent alot of money on it, im hoping to get a new cage for him soon , im saving up some money for him ! He already has a sand bath and can borrow though, so I just need a big cage and some more hideouts and toys:)
@@c4itlynn157 Just another idea, I housed my hamster and now my gerbils in aquarium tanks, which you can get on sale for $1 per gallon during the pet stores semi annual events, or other good sales. I just got a brand new 40 gallon breeder for $50 and it's great!
I recently asked my dad to buy a hamster cage before we got a new hamster and he said okay. So I was out when my dad messaged me “I bought a new cage” and I got exited and went straight to home. When I got into the house I saw my dad smiling standing next to that dinosaur cage(he had already built it) and I was like DAAAAAD! wHAt Is THAt?! I really liked it for looks but I knew it wasn’t suitable for a hamster so I didn’t think twice. Long story short we returned it and bought a large tank, for less money...
Bad cages should be expensive while the goods should be cheap
Felix Shadow cat the bad cages are expensive and the good ones are cheap it’s just that little children love how the critter trails look
When my boyfriend and i talked about getting a dwarfhamster i emidatly started doing some research and found your channel. We now have a case, that is 120 cm x 49 cm and the happiest hamster i've ever seen. Thank you so much!
Watching your videos has really helped me get prepared for my hamster that I’m getting this weekend. I’m so excited to get him or her moved out of that tiny little glass cage that they gave it at PetSmart. I’ve taken feedback on some things you said in your videos, and I just need a few more things to make it a perfect cage for the lil’ guy!
Congrats! But please rescue a hamster next time, petsmart isn’t the best place to get animals.
I can’t imagine the stress a hamster would have in that cage Im starting to have stress by just staring at that and knowing that there is hamsters in this world that live in tiny homes like that ;(
Those stupid looking things deserve the pain.
“They don’t deserve something smaller just because they smaller” try telling my sister that we are literally twins and the same age it’s not my fault I got the short genes 😂
Yeah it's like saying a small person only deserves a small home that is the size of a bathroom
hi hi I’m a short person so I should be living in my hamster cage with him :/
Also my hamsters cage is a good size but for a human no
Thats funny 😂😂. Tbh i would say that if i was your sister
100th like
I actually bought the tiny tales comfy home and I have a Syrian living in it but I came across your videos and I am saving to make a bin cage right now! Thank you
I was never interested in these cages- ( as a kid ) and my mom said I must get a big cage if I get a hamster- she loves animals and wants to treat it right. Seeing all of these comments with their parents forcing them to use these types of cages are just horrible and make me feel so grateful!
I can’t believe people spend, so much money on something that will destroy a hamster’s way of living a good life!😓🐹
How does it destroy a hamsters way of life what dose a (hamsters way of life)look like... please elaborate
It destroys the hamster’s way of life, by not letting them do their natural instincts in such a small and tight space
My birdcage certainly isn’t “cute” or “pretty” but it’s large and functional and fun for my quaker and the ropes across my ceiling that hold mats and toys are not “cute” or “fun” but Fate loves them so I do not care what people say about my unconventional life😂
Same here I have a budgie though I went to a proper bird store to buy a carrier cage for when I need to take him vet and I felt so embarrassed purchasing it 🤣
Dude Decent I have no shame. Instead of eating out of spending time with friends I spend my money on my bird😂
@@we1rd_137 I was same. I have a hospital cage and I'm like I hope no one thinks this is where I'll keep my 5 budgies. 🤣
I have a 5.5 foot long cage for 1 indian ringneck lol People look around expecting an african grey at very least and then they see Mojo 🤣 I want another one for my budgies but can't fit it in lol
Exactly. The pet store cages are like 3x3” LoL People get the cheap birbs but they don’t realize that it costs more to take care of them
Thanks so much for making these videos! I sadly have a small cage for my hamster but I’m saving up for a new cage that’s over 450 square inches. I would’ve never known this information because my hamster book says a hamster should live in a 10 gallon aquarium.
Omg I saw this cage in PetSmart I never knew how sad and stressful it can be for a hamster thank u for highlighting this 👍
This is actually terrifying. Imagine living- *LIVING* - in the skytubes at Chuck E. Cheese's. Imagine being a little kid with no realization that your little friend can die if you don't propely take care of it. One day you approach your big plastic dinosaur but cant find your hamster. Weeks later you finally find him: curled up at the bottom of the awful smelling dinosaur, dead. Like, if you would rather have a big plastic dinosaur instead of a boring box with a healthy hamster, you shouldn't own a hamster.
The box would be a better cage than the dino wtf
I thought you meant to LIKE if you would rather have the Dino 😂
@@H0rrorsirenn3 sameeeeee
*how did you do the words like that*
if anything this is a hamster jail . can’t believe people really put their animals in there .. love you btw :))

I don’t own any hamsters I personally enjoy mice more but I do love learning about hamsters. And I’ve noticed that not looking at pet stores care guides there is actually a good amount of proper care being shared on the internet thru KZhead, forums, and even on tiktok. I’m hoping that within the next 5-10 years pet stores will share the proper care for small animals and we won’t treat them like toys or novelty items anymore. And I also hope that we won’t be treating them like beginner pets or throw away pets or target them at children like tiny tales does. I love your videos and I think what your doing is great, one day the proper care standards will change
As a rabbit owner, I've never really thought about hamsters, but I've seen what these companies advertise as a 'rabbit cage' - which is usually what we purchase as a LITTER BOX. This is hugely opening my eyes about some of the other critters out there, and know even my sister was guilty of doing cages like crittertrails, even if it was 2 or 3 cages hooked up together. These cages are geared towards the littles who get these 'first pet' animals, who want a cool cage, rather than a proper size cage with all of the necessities they need to live happy. I thought rabbits had dangerous cages made for them to sucker in new bunny parents, but I now suspect hamsters have it even worse!
Awwww george is so cute. Now where is the hamster cage?........................wait
What we want: nice spacious cage Petsmart: “hehe, cage go roar!”
I showed this to my mom and she was like, “Woah that’s cool. Are you getting that for your hamster?” No mom. I wouldn’t even get it for the microorganisms that life in my eyesbrows... Anyone need a mom? I have a mom for sale! Lol.
I did have a cage that size but straight away upgraded to a bin cage ❤️
Tiny tale cages are just cruel and whoever has those cages... im concerned for your hamster.
demon kitsune buy him a 40 gallon tank pls or try and help him make a bin cage :)
I would rather have my hamster live in the box than the “cage”
Your amazing thank you for all your help and care for animas!!! I have a hamster in a home made cage, and two guinea pigs in a big area too! I also have six fish, this is because of you, your help! Thank you Victoria!
when I bought my hamster we bought a critter trail cage and we have had it for about 1 and a half months, I realized that my Syrian doesn't use its wheel ( it was like 5 feet) so I asked my parents to buy a nine-inch wheel and we made a bin cage, now my hamster loves to run on its wheel and I think its very happy.
the thing is people say ‘its so big for a small hamster’ thats like saying ur a small human so u can live in this room
Yet a lil quarantine and they're already going CRAZY! This is ewual to sticking human in... maybe 2 standard hotel rooms? With some small tunnels the size of those tunnels in kids play areas
Me: Watches this video. Also me: Gimme that Petition

I really appreciate your videos. You helped me a lot with my new hamster.
Happy to help!
I would’ve thought this cage to be “cool” idea as a little kid Now that I’m older and have been doing the research, I’ve decided on a bin setup with the accurate things needed to provide my future hamster an incredible life Thank you so so much for posting these videos, without them I’m not sure what cage I would be planning on purchasing the type of bedding and more
Victoria treats George the plastic dinosaur better than pet smart treat hamsters... let that sink in
Oof
Oof
Oof
Oof
Oof
this makes me so angry. HAMSTERS ARE NOT TOYS
I'm proud to say that after researching the proper care for the rabbit I'm going to get I came across this video and have successfully had three people sign the petition! Small animals deserve more from us!
Thank you!
I can imagine all the kids riding the cage and knocking it over with the hamster in it 😭
This cage is so disrespectful, especially after everybody signing the petition.
Ikr they just ignored the petition and did the exact opposite 🤦🏾♀️
And it’s so disrespectful saying there “a spacious cage and big”
“Mommy! Look what I got in my happy meal!!!”
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
LOL😂
😂
Idk if this is better than McDonald’s crap what they call a toy
Yo don’t dis McDonald’s like that
I used to have a tiny tales cage... my hamster is so much happier now that he's got an above average sized cage.
I'm so glad you made a review for this dinosaur cage! I see it at Petsmart every time I go there I see it and it makes me mad!!!! ALSO!!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING A PETITION!!!
This gives me anxiety, just looking at this.I used to have a hamster.We did have him in not the required cage.He was a dwarf hamster.But I can't imagine even putting him in there .
Jusr looking at that makes me feel claustrophobic holy cow
Same
*just
@@alienf00d It is called a typo
Smh it’s legit the size of her hand!? 😫
i saw someone getting their first hamster and they got the tiney tales cage u did last year and i wanted to tell them what cage to get but the kids mom looked grumpy and she was older than me. I hope they got a better cage!
