My mum said “it doesn’t need a big cage it’s so small!” So I’m saving up myself to get a hamster and make sure it has the life it deserves
GO GIRLLLL!
I had to protest with my parents too. It’s worked out in the end though.
So sad how people don't understand small cages aren't good
That's awesome
Same I’m hoping I can get it before mine passes(he’s one and like a month)
I work at Petsmart, I always encourage parents to do their research. I've had plenty of people get angry at me and say "nevermind" to getting a hamster because I tell them the actual size enclosure and things they need. I'm going to copy this link and give them to people who are buying a hamster and encourage them to watch this video!
Thank you for trying your best to explain to people what they actually need!!
This person's doing god's work
Thank you so much for this!! I wish people would do the same for Guinea pigs. All these small cuties deserve better!
@@evelynnnyt Guinea pigs, and rabbits as well! I used to own both! I'm the small animal specialist at my store.
absolute W i cant express enough respect for people like this.
You're one of the best pet youtubers I have found. Most of them just make stressful and dangerous hamster mazes. Edit: thanks for nearly 300 likes!
@@bad99girls ive seen kumaqq they are also a good hamster parent
yeah, that was bad
Plüschraupe, hopping hammy and dogs hamsters are definitely some of my favorite hamster channels. I’d strongly recommend checking it out!
The hamster maze actually stimulate their brain and mind. I think it was for show, they probably had a really good habitat for those star hamsters behind the scene
Lol I miss read this and thought it was a hate comment
The only youtuber I actually trust is Victoria because she's had hamstera for so long and has done so many videos to help me with my hamster care its unbelievable. Thanks Victoria keep it up 💗💕
I'm always happy to help!
i agree me too!😊💕
Same, for hamster care I always count on you victoria ❤
People say that having a hamster is cheap, but with the right care, it can cost more then expected 😅 great video!
Honestly….I’d say most pets cost more than expected. *Especially* small ones where you literally have to build their home. People just shouldn’t get a pet if they can’t afford it or aren’t willing to pay up for their well-being because they just want a small cute animal to look at then shove in a tiny box which basically tortures them until they die, probably sooner than the expected lifespan.
i’ve spent so much money already and ive had her for a week! i’m already looking to upgrade her 50gallon to a 5’ by 2’ cage (probably even bigger lol). I’ve spent over $500 already lol
I got a Campbells dwarf at Christmas named Pip. I went from a 372-square-inch cage to a completely natural Ikea detolf and it is AAALLLLLLLLLLL because of you and your videos! Both Pip and I say thank you!!!!!
that's so awesome!
@@VictoriaRaechel hi Victoria, I’m getting a pet hamster soon hopefully and I’ve been wanting to build a cage it’s going to be 45 inches long 30 inches wide and 30 inches tall! I can’t wait!!!
Great size! :) Just make sure the bottom gets enough air, maybe add some windows with wire mesh (because 30 inches height is a lot). Your hamster will be very happy 🥰🐹
Omg my hamsters name is Pip and it’s the same type and I went from that size cage to a 575 square inch cage-
Browse Hi D For FFfFf The 🇧🇬🇧🇬🇦🇷🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬
The first hamster I got was named fluffy and she was living in a small cage with tiny tubes and barely any enrichment. She also came from the pet store and get this, she had NO TEETH. So we didn’t have to worry about her teeth and she couldn’t chew her toys. I even took out any big foods from her seed mix and left the little ones. She had no sand bath, a 6 inch wheel, one hideout, and one day I found her in a DOME of bedding that she created because she barely had any room to burrow😭 My second hamster, (current), has a 150 qt bin cage with a sand bath, 12 inch silent runner, multiple hideouts, 11 inches of bedding on more than half of her enclosure, a variety of chews, water dish, veggie dish, gets an hour of free roam time in the bathtub, and she is scatter fed. I never would have come this far if it wasn’t for you Victoria. I am still upgrading and learning and I hope we can learn about hamsters together and we fix all of our mistakes do our hamsters have the best lives possible. I actually uploaded a hamster video on my channel if you wanna check it out. I am aware of the lid, I will change that don’t worry. I am taking any suggestions so make sure you read the desc as well. I can’t wait for your next video!
I watched it. Nice enclosure
My dad is complaining that he doesn't want to buy my hamster a new cage because he's showing stress behaviours. I am now making an entire slideshow on hamster care with my only source being this KZhead channel. These videos inspire me to speak up to my dad to convince him to buy a new cage.
oml same, i just dont really know how to convince them and they only have 1-4 in. of bedding :(
This matches our rescue standards so much - I can't wait to share this with some of our adopters who are more visual learners :)
Thank you so much for these videos! We adopted a girl hamster and she seems to be thriving! The $180 (biggest option hamster enclosure we almost bought at the pet store was absolutely inadequate. So we built ours and our baby girl loves to burrow! We joke she is always "renovating"
It's so nice to see hamster recommendations/minimums are going up. I've been in the hamster community for over a year and I started out with watching videos that said it was recommended to have 450 square inches of floor space (the minimum). Now I'm seeing a lot more people on Reddit, KZhead, and other social medias that are going by German hamster standards, which are much better. I've also seen a lot of people are recommending the larger minimums and I've seen so many better cages than before. It's only been a year and the community has improved so much. I'm on Reddit frequently because I am the main moderator in r/hamsters, so I regulary see people improving their care. It's really nice to see one of my favorite KZheadrs making such a wonderful video. Thank you so much Victoria ❤️
I love how you talk about hamster specific things to buy but also other cheaper options for things like hideouts and food dishes.
Miss Victoria, I must thank you oh so much for your dedication to informing people about how hamsters should be kept. I recently purchased a syrian hamster, and I did exactly what first time hamster owners do. Her cage was only a 20 gallon aquarium that was 24in L. x 15.5in W. x 16in H, a 9in. wheel, generic food with a ton of sunflower seeds and corn, no sand bath, 3 in. of bedding, and just a few chews. Once I saw all your videos, I was so disappointed in myself. Now my baby has a 30in L. x 24in W. x 24in H. inclosure with a glass viewing side, and a chicken wire lid. A 12in wheel (safe plastic wheel, no ridges inside and is not a wire/mesh wheel) a sand bath, 4 hides, a balanced diet of proteins and seeds with very few sunflower seeds and corn, 10 in. of bedding (paper based, botanical hay, & aspen bedding), and a crap ton of safe chews. Thank you oh so much for giving me the info I needed to give my little girl the best life.
I wrote everything down,thank you so much Victoria without you all my hamsters were going to die unhappy.I was using a small cage for the past 2-3 years,but now my hamsters will be happy.Thank you again ❤
Girl how hard you worked and researched and studied for these animals to be at your 👌 👏. I feel so proud when I see a women like you. Keep going, I have a Chinese dwarf 🐹 and I learned so much from just watching your videos and am working on myself to provide a better life for her everyday.
And btw... I'm SO glad I found your channel before buying a hamster! I would never have known of their love for burrowing if I hadn't seen your videos and I just don't see these recommendations elsewhere. After watching your videos I am exited about bringing a hamster home but also chocked about the cages out there! Like they climb more than they dig! It's crazy!
You’ve helped me soooo much with getting my cage stuff and toys ready because I’m getting my hamster on October 29!!!! I thought I would get a small cage until I started watching your videos ❤
My dwarf's favorite treats were all fresh greens. Cucumber, cauliflower, bell pepper, stuff like that. When he started to gain too much weight I discovered he had as much fun with those as with mealworms and seeds. So now I give those as treats to my Syrian!
I'm definitely going to get the best habitat I possibly can when I get a hamster, you and Hopping Hammy are my inspiration ever since the 5th grade when I first wanted a hamster. Thank you for sharing what you've learned so people can know more about proper pet care.
Its great to see somebody actually educated on what they are telling people, especially younger kids with hamsters. I've been watching your YT videos since 2020, and because of u and some help from my dad, I was able to go from a 10 gallon aquarium tank to a 612 sq ft DIY acrylic-wooden cage. And since then, I have been able to give 2 different hamsters a great life, full of enrichment, and tips and tricks from YOU!! So this is just a thank you, and please continue making these videos!
This was very helpful although I already have ordered some things when I already have a hamster, this was great to make sure my hamster has the best life. I have got two more hideouts for him, sticks, bought a sand bath and more. Thank you for helping hamsters and owners all around. This was great and useful device.
I'm so glad I have watched your videos before I got my hamster! It's even helped me improve more since I got her! This weekend I'm going to make her some new dig boxes and platforms also getting her more different types of sprays and herbs. X
i used to watch you all the time while i was a newbie at taking care of hamsters. i got an adorable hamster and took advice from you all the time💟. sushi passed away last night a few months before her 2nd birthday but i believe she had an amazing life with you in it. thank you for promoting hamster care. rest in treats sushi
Rest in Peace Sushi
@@EverestsMum thank you
rip honey
Thanks for being responsible hamster care taker and giving them a good life
Thank you sooooo much!!! My daughter and I got a little Sirian hamster. We learned so much from your videos! I just finished Builing her enclosure where she can burrow and be a happy little Rosie girl 🐹. We are all so much happier, especially Rosie. Thank you again 🐹✌️
you are a lifesaver! i got my hamster for free since he was found abandoned at a pet store, so i really wasnt expecting to take him home. im trying to do my best for my little old guy, and your content is the best ive come across! thank you so much for sharing ur knowledge :)
I’m so happy I found your channel because I want a hamster and I didn’t know anything about them, but I’ve done research, as well as watch a few of your videos, so thank you so much.
Thank you for these informative videos! I’ve watched so many to make sure I’m giving my new hamster everything she needs and wants!
I was shopping at my local Pet Shop and they was this mom with her two children begging for a hamster and i saw them looking at those awful tiny cages and just had to do something :( As a big introvert with social anxiety i had to gather all the energy i had to go tell them that they should be careful because those cages are too small and those mesh wheel were not good at all. Thankfully the mother was very understanding and thanked me for the advices so im glad i maybe made a hamster live in a better enviroment :3 P¨S : So sorry about all the english mistakes im french so wrinting in english is a bit tought :,)
Aw I'm so proud of you for doing that! I wish I had enough courage to do that myself to others sometimes!
Good job!
Thank you for all the great info with your previous vids Got my Syrian hamster a month ago. Yes I was looking at a ten gallon tank with a topper until I found your channel. Eye opener Toffee has a 40 aquarium Several Nite angel products She uses the corner sand room for a potty every single night! She loves burrowing ( 8 inch bedding) Thanks to you Toffee will be living a much happier life than my childhood small pets did .
just got my hamster yesterday and we were sold a very small cage so i’ve already ordered him a cage which measures 100cm x 54cm i think that is big enough and lots more toys and enrichment! thank you for your videos they are amazing and so helpful❤
I love that you updated this! I really like these kids of videos, because of one is never done learning! The budget friendly part was since to! Most hamster supplies cost $$ Love your tori! ❤❤
Really useful video! I love that you always put out new and up-to-date content on basic hammy care🐹❤
Thank you for the support! ❤
Hey 👋🏽, New Subbie here. I am soon getting a pet for the first time which is a hamster 🐹anyways…watching your channel omg you got me binge watching already! I am learning soo many new things and even learning to build a good size DIY Enclosure. I just want to say thank you for taking the time out doing your videos, I’m soo excited for my new pet & journey!!!
Love your videos, they're so informative. I had hamsters as a child and looking back I did so much wrong. I want to right these wrongs by providing the best care for my future hamsters.
I love your channel so much!❤My Syrian hamster just past away and I’m thinking about getting another so these tips helped a lot!😄
thank you!! I'm sorry for your loss!❤
I just went to a store and there was a discount on tiny cages right at the entrance. It made me so mad. There were maybe 25 cages stacked on top of each other like christmas presents, claiming to be for hamster and mice. It truly disgusts me.
Your videos are so helpful ❤tysm and i’m sure your hamsters are having their best lives!
Victoria tysm! I told my bsf to watch your videos to learn about hamsters (not the bsf who had bad care but the one that said her care was good) She thought that a hamsters size ment how large the cage should be. Now she knows proper care and is helping me try to get my bsf to have good hamster care. Tysm!
Thanks!
Thank you for your videos. I discovered you after buying the cage in the pet store and seeing quickly that it was way too small - and within a week, I suspected Sammy wasn't happy. Poor little Sammy was already picked on in the store by the female hamsters and lost an eye... had to be separated and was put in a small toyless plastic transfer cage . I went to see him everyday for a week during lunch and I don't think the store would have kept him if I had not come every day to see him and talked about taking him home. I thought he was going to be so happy right away in my home... but he is staying quiet - what seems like all the time. I have had him for a week now and I started searching for help on KZhead because of his lack of activity. He will sit quietly and sweetly in my hand and obviously loves me to hold him, and pet him, but I'm quite certain he doesn't like his prison cage. I have ordered a much larger home for him but only 24 x 14 with 2 levels - plus many of the things you have recommended - all arriving this weekend - and I can't wait to set it up for him. But you recommend a minimum 40 x 20. I'm so desperate to get him in a bigger cage, I am going to switch him this weekend and then go larger if he doesn't come out of his shell. Is it possible that he is just really quiet? I also ordered a safe playpen so he will get some playpen time too which I'm also hoping opens him up a little to playing. Thank you again. I love seeing young people sharing their knowledge!
How is Sammy doing now?
hey victoria!!! when i first got my hamster (woody) i put i’m in a 259sq pet store cage and we was not doing good, he would monkey bar, chew, etc. Ever since i started watching you i found out he was not in a good cage!! he was in this cage for about a year or so. My mom looked for a cheap option but a good option, we found a 75 gallon tank and we immediately bought it. After we put i’m in the cage we was so happy . Because of you i stoped putting him in a ball, trying to snuggle, feeding him to much, and more. He was doing so much better because of you. You saved his life and helped me with him, sadly he passed away. He was three and a half years old which is a really good age! again thank you so much ❤❤❤
Omg I just saw this notif your channel gives me so much nostalgia for august 2021 ♥ i still miss Hamilton (he was 6mos with us but we adopted him when he was 6mos, so he was bound to die in less than a year) but your videos are so helpful and i'm glad to know i gave him a nice life while he was alive
I’ve had 9 hamsters! Dwarf , short haired, long haired, teddy bear, all that ! And I’m just about to get my 10th! You’ve helped me a lot:) I have also had 7 dogs 5 cats 1 corn/garden snake 2 Guinea pigs ! And now I sadly only have 1 dog and 1 cat that lives with ME now some with my sister
I thank Victoria a lot because ever since I’ve had my first hamster, I’ve had 3 hamsters the past and I had them in a critter cage and they passed away, I’ve never knew why until I’ve gotten my 4th hamster, I’ve moved her to a bin cage that’s big enough to run around, I rescued her from a pet shop that wasn’t treating their pets right, I’m glad I’ve got her because she’s happy now and I thank Victoria a lot for letting me know how to take care and how to maintain how to keep one happy and safe. THANK U SO MUCH VICTORIA I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH!
Pet stores get their animals from pet mills. They’re places where small animals like hamsters are placed into small, crowded plastic bins and bigger animals like dogs are put into cages alone with no room to move or even stretch. The mothers giving birth to these animals are forced to breed over and over again, whether they like it or not. This causes them to be aggressive. When the mothers can’t breed anymore, they are abandoned, thrown out onto the street or even shot. Yes, you were rescuing one hamster, but now the pet store will get the pet mill to breed more hamsters to fill in that hamster’s spot. If the pet store is your only option for getting a pet, you can do it, but please rescue from a animal rescue or a reputable breeder. Victoria has a video about that called Where Should I Get My Hamster, or something like that. I recommend you watch it, it has more information about this
It's great the improvements in care you've made!
I swear I love my little hamster matilda. Me and my man are about to make our own enclosure for our little one!! You have helped me so much it's unreal. I love seeing her in the night as it's so fun
I love your enclosures! 💓 I would love it if you would make a video on your platforms and hideouts in the enclosure and how you make it work 🥰👍
At the moment im saving up for a hamster and my mum is helping me alot just as much as this video ❤
I ended up with a hamster as a surprise, and it's nice to have a list reminding me what to order. I completely forgot about their enjoyment of sand bathing, so that's in the cart now! Very excited to have a use for all my extra wax warmers. XD (*surprise, not in a surprise gift way- she's a houseguest until her owner can take her back.)
You were my inspiration to get a big cage for my hamster skittles and it was such a great idea!❤ He lived 2 and a half years which I have to say is pretty good for my first hamster. I’m not getting my second soon and I’m Watching more videos to get more educated on them, thank you so much Victoria for teaching me❤ you are an inspiration
You saved my hamsters life i can't tell you how much you helped ❤ thank you
I’m middle school I was really into hamsters, I had two and then decided no more. Recently I’ve started watching your videos again and I found a 75 GALLON TANK!!!!!! (My previous tank was 40 gals) I’m so happy I found a big tank and I’m asking for it for Christmas! Ily Victoria!
I'm getting my first hamster tomorrow!! I have a 648in^2 aquarium for her with about 10 in of bedding. I made my own seed mix with store-bought mixes and extra stuff I added in like dried fruit and dried bloodworms. I can't wait for the waiting period to be up so I can bond and cuddle with her.
Congrats!!!!
This is so helpful for me I just got my first ever dwarf hamster!thank you for the videos!
You have really helped me with my hamster care Victoria❤ Thank You 😊
Thank you!! I might get a hamster soon! This is so helpful! Your amazing!!! Your one of the best hamster KZheadrs!! I can’t find anything better! I will be watching more!!
Tysm for hearting it!!!
Hi Victoria! I love your channel and I got inspired by your Linmon hamster enclosure. For my new hamster my dad and I built the cage using the VanillaHamHam video that you you linked in a video! Thank you so much because my hamster is going to live a good life because of your videos!
That's amazing!
I used to love vanillahamham!! kind of sad they stopped posting though :(
@@zwpsl I agree!!
You’ve been helping me a hronic, and just wanna say thank you I will never never have knew this😊
A slate tile is also very helpful for keeping a hamsters nails short. Our hamster really like to sit on his and groom himself. I bought a 4-pack of slate coasters on amazon, they are the perfect size.
absolutely love that you listed everything because it’s so helpful!!! definitely gonna be checking some stuff out!😁🐰🐹
love y'alls videos😁
@@mymelodyxox 😊
Great video and great advice as always! I love watching your videos on hamster care because I've learnt a lot simply from watching and listening. It was the best choice I ever made to put my female dwarf straight into a IKEA Detolf because she loves it and always finds new areas to burrow/sleep. Plus her little waddle is cute and I just want to squeeze her and never let go lol. She's so friendly and relaxed. Look forward to your next video! 🙂 🐹
Thank you!! I love that she's happy in her cage!
These videos help so much and I can only think of how many children (including myself from when I was that young) have these pets in tiny cages with not enough bedding! I bought a Syrian hamster yesterday for the first time in my adult life and definitely gonna do everything right. Because my husband has a lot of allergies I bought antibacterial bedding but I am gonna replace that real soon since I myself have an allergic reaction to it... It was a cheap pet store brand..
I'm getting a hamster in November and am doing my research a little bit early. Thank you so much. My friend recommended you to me and she was definitely right.
Ik it’s not that great but I managed to get an 836 sq inch cage. It’s not aquarium style or anything but I’m only 11 so it took a lot of convincing my parents and I managed to get them to buy carefresh which is £20 more expensive then the pine bedding they sell in the shops and my hamster (who I’ve only had for two weeks) is living such a good life so far thanks to you Victoria! I think the most important part is how much love I give her tho❤
I walked into the pets at home yesterday... the first thing I did was walk straight to the reptile section to look for aspen bedding 🤣 I found a really big bag of small and soft aspen I'm so happy Hermione adores all her substrates ❤️
Aww I love that name it's so cute❤
Thank you 😊 ❤️
Update on the aspen... Hermione started trying to eat it so immediately I took it out it's a really nice substrate in very small chunks does anybody have any experience will your hamster eating their aspen substrate before ty 😊
@@hermionethehamster I've never tried aspen before so idk
I put the aspen back in again (when I was watching her in the playpen) with some of her seed mix and I think she decided her actual food was a lot tastier that wood 🤣
Thank you so much Victoria, very helpful to us all 😊.
Hey Victoria! I absolutely love your videos I have been watching for a long time and you taught me the proper hamster care if you didn’t make videos I would be getting the critter trail cage thank you so much for posting!💗
People here in under 20 mins 👇
my fav hamster products or things for my hamster that isn’t hamster specific is whimzees and the silent runner, whimzees act as a treat and a chew! and he loves them, silent runners, i love them! all my hamsters have had bum cages and they’re amazing!
Thank you so much Victoria you helped me out a lot I’m getting a winter in a few days and I’m very happy about it❤️
I've been binging your videos! I had many hamsters growing up but I've learned so much! I'm getting one in my classroom and I've been showing your videos to the kiddos before we get a little furry friend 🥰
I just lost my 2 year old dwarf hamster, Ruthie, a few nights ago. I want another, but want to wait a little bit to give myself some time. I cannot wait to start the new journey and I hope I can give them the best possible life 🥰
I have 2 hamsters. A winter white dwarf hamster named Bruno and a Syrian hamster named Bebe! They both live in hamster mansion! I’ve learned so much on how to take care of them! I want to thank you for everything! ❤
I am so excited. I spent over 300.00 on a large habitat and supplies, it has over 800 sq inches of floor space and plenty of room for bedding. I ordered sprays, wooden chews, hidey houses, a 12 inch wheel, a few different high-quality foods, some moss, sand, bendy bridges. I am making a hammy home fit for a king/queen. :) Once I'm all finished with the set up, I am going to buy the hamster. I am so thankful for your channel. It helped me so much.
I'd love to see a detailed feeding schedule/what you feed your hamsters video!
Thank u for this vid Victoria! We all appreciate your videos xxx
I can't even handle those adorable little ears when they eat and drink. I'm about a week out from getting a hamster. I have a mental illness and live alone, so having the company will be great.
I just got a new hamster named Fig. Because of you, he's living the best life ever. Tysm!!!
Thank u so much for this information I got a hamster a few weeks ago and it has been stressful finding safe things for my hamster
This video was so helpful!! Thank you
for bedding, if you get kaytee clean n cozy, please check for and remove anything that isnt the bedding ! ive only used it once and mine had weird almost cardboard like paper that seemed to be packaging from idk what.. ive seen videos with people finding the same paper in it, and some have even found bits of gloves. theyre pretty easy to spot when your de-compacting(?) but just make sure to double check !
i am absolutely amazed how badly i treated my first hamster and how long she lived she was named sunshine and she was in a wired hamster cage that was pretty small and not a lot of bedding and she loved somehow 3 uears
You're an amazing person! I hope all is well! I'm sure you're busy but I miss seeing your videos.

Hi Victoria! I have a five ft glass tank all thanks to you. I started off with a small cage only just big enough. Your such a good KZhead and your wayyyyyyyyyyy to underated
i was gifted a hamster 2 2/4 years ago and named her Dina (from the last of us pt 2) i wasnt ready at all to own a pet but she was my responsibility to take care of her, she was active and healthy, enjoyed her lil spoiled life and i have you to thank for all of it, she lived a great life and loved napping behind the wheel, under the stairs and playing on my mouse mat, she passed away today in her lil warm den and i wanted to say thank you for showing me how to give her the best life i can.
i made her a massive enclosure and lots of toys
I am getting a hamster, and when I went to a small pet store the lady was telling me proper hamster care! I'm so glad!
Thanks for giving me the info I need so my hammy can life a happy life! What your doing is amazing❤
Happy I can help!
This video was so helpful, thank you so much for making these videos for us.
thanks for watching!
thank you so much for the information, I have had two hamsters in the past and I just got a new one today! i love watching your hamster vids and I really appreciate all the information you have given many people
I got both female hamsters same size large cage, I did research prior to getting them both. Victoria has the best hamster videos 😊
Videos been up for a year but Im really happy to have found it - Today out of the blue my mama said she wants to get me a hamster. Im a nocturnal person and with some research (including your videos) Ive found out how scary of a fit the lil guy is :sob:. From the images, Im sure theyre a syrian hammie, and apparently already has a great enclosure - but im so glad for videos like these. Theyre lifesavers, literally and figuratively. Thank you so so so much
My daughter and I just love your videos! 😁 we've been watching for a couple years now, and get excited every time you post a new one! I have a question for you, if I may. You mentioned in different posts about getting a seed mix from Etsy, but I wondered if you have any recommendations, (either what TO get, or NOT to get), please? We got a Syrian in July, and she's just had a cyst removed on Tuesday at the vet, so I want to be sure I treat her well, as we both love her SO much!! 🥰 thank you!!
Thank you for making this vid it’s helping me know what I need before I get a hamster !
Hi Tori! I turned 13 a few months ago, and I've been watching you since I was 9! Thanks for making these videos, hamsters are my special interest and your videos were pretty much all I watched for a while. I have no idea where I'm going with this, but I like your videos. Like, a LOT.
Thanks so much! I’m thinking of getting a hamster and this is helping me learn about hamsters a lot more!
Thanks so much for this and all your other videos because I might be getting a hamster today! ❤🎉
