"A pet may stay for a little bit of your life, but you will be there for 100% of theirs."

Just because it’s the norm doesn’t make it right. Give your fur babies all the love ❤ they deserve it

I cant find my hamsters pee :/ she is a tiny dwarf and my enclosure is very big with lots of bedding, she does pee a lot in her wheel but thats the only place I can find it :/

And it’ll be a great year in that setup 🎉

I work at a pet store and have 0 problem straight up telling people their plans for a pet are cruel. "It's just a" mentality is an automatic no-sale.

wtf, they deserve especially good care BECAUSE they live so sort lives. Y'all better pray you dont reincarnate as a fly or sum 💀

exactly, let it live the small short lifespan it does have

Am I the only one who noticed that the corn looked like a tiny Christmas tree? Lol

Neglecting your pet because it won't live for long is INSANE.

When i told my parents i wanted a hamster they said the exact same thing. Somehow i got them to buy me one tho, and it lived for 4 and a half years. Keep in mind i was like, 6 when i got it. The day it died was devastating.

My hamster literally lived to -7- 4 years. And I got him about 16? Ish years ago, in eastern europe. When proper care of rodent pets still wasn't as known. So saying it's pointless because they only live a year in below subpar conditions they live a short life is a testament to your care. A cat can die in subpar conditions in a year too.

THIS. I have a dog now and i love her to bits, but me and my sibling used to own 2 german winter white hamsters. They were so cute. They passed away and i stikk kinda miss them :( best year of my life tho!

Im actually watching this with my new hamster! Your channel has been so helpful!

Ppl think this about fish too. Specifically bettas and goldfish... my smallest goldfish was like 8inch long... and my betta just passed, we estimate he was about 4 cus we dunno how long he was in the pet store before we got him

My hamster numbing (as his name says he was missing an entire arm) died of old age at 3 years and a half he was a little Russian hamster

Our little hammy is almost 3 years old! He’s still running like crazy

Adorable critters as always, they're so happy because you give them a good life.

Hi Victoria I just want to ask what to I do if there are ants going in my hamsters cage everywhere I put it

Under their care, it’s gonna die in a year, but some hamsters can grow and live up to 3 to 5 years❤ with proper enrichment

I got one of those corn cobs in a variety pack of sprays and put it inside a hanging tunnel that my robo had to climb stairs to get on top of a multi-chamber hide to access. I liked it there because the hole went straight against the glass and I could watch him in the tunnel. The cob was there for one day and then it disappeared. I have no idea where it went. He would've had to drag it out of the tunnel, down to the top of the hide, then down one of his many burrows or into the hide, which didn't have chambers large enough to hold it! I did find some kernels inside a hide on the opposite end of the enclosure. That cob was twice as big as he is!

I'll keep screaming from the roof top treat pets how you would want to live, clean environment with lots to do. Then they'll be happy and you'll feel good about having them ❤

I pampered both my hamsters as much as possible and they still killed themselves

how often do you clean the cage like this? are there times you have to do deeper cleaning or just like this? im hoping to get a dwarf hamster this year :D

when I was little I literally used to binge watch your videos 💗💗

I don't have the space to own them any more but I'm so thankful for channels like yours because when I was in middle school I wanted to give them a good life and did a lot of research with yours and other hamster channels. I had my macaroon for 3 1/2 years ❤ she was my angel

Hamsters should live until at least 2 years when properly cared for. People only think hamsters are very short lived because they are treated as disposable. Hamsters are NOT good for first-time pet owners or children. They do not generally enjoy being handled and they have specialized and complex husbandry needs. I always say that an adult cat is the best animal for a first time pet owner. Easy to provide proper care, lower maintenance than a dog. Hamsters probably shouldn't be pets at all. But those that are already in the pet trade belong with dedicated hobbyists like you.

Unrelated, but “what an odd thing to say” is also what i feel when i see those videos/comments comparing deaths of other animals/pets and being like “this isnt some pet hamster”. Okay, thats great. But whyvare you comparing the death of your pet to a hamster pet and belittling hamsters?? They are just as lovable and can be just as loving as any other animal.

i'm extremely nervous as i go on vacation for 2.5 months in summer and i have no idea who is willing to take my hamster for so long. all pet sitters over here also go on vacation sooner or later

Your channal helped me to create an enclosure for my sweet teddybear hamster because i have all of my Informationen from you how to keep a hamster naturally and healthy .... thank you 🎉❤❤

My hamster almost turned 2 before he passed away in his sleep, It has been like it was like 7 years ago but I still miss him <3

Pretty sure they live longer than a year?😮

What’s with the hate on hamsters😢😭 they’re already live so short like you could touch a hamster to hard and it would have a heart attack don’t make they’re short lives harder

Hi I just wanted to say THANKYOU my female Syrian hamster called noodle recently passed away at the age of 1 and a half I’m not sure why exactly but i think it was a stroke. You taught me how to give her a good fulfilling life. When I first got her she lived in a small pet shop cage but in less than a year I found you and upgraded her cage to a bin cage. I’m so glad she lived out the rest of her life in a safe big enclosure ❤❤❤

I love people who think less of animals with shorter lifespans, who then proceed to get a dog that can live a decade and a half, proceed to move or whatever and then the dog ends up in a shelter. 90% of people who get long lived pets like cats and dogs shouldnt have them, they dont provide them with their needs and they end up abandoning or loosing them early due to their irresponsibility.

Whos here in 2025?

11:13 ngl it sounds like placing minecraft leaves / grass blocks

I just want to tell you the difference you have made in both mine and my hamsters' lives. I started watching your videos in 2021 and it changed my views completely on hamsters, just as you experienced with pumpkin. After being told by the pet store to keep my two dwarf hamsters together, I soon realised that after some research, I knew nothing about hamsters. I started watching your videos and it has made the biggest difference. I can't even begin to tell you how beautiful, amazingly talented and knowledgeable you are, as you already know. Thank you so much Victoria for taking that extra leap of courage to put yourself out there and share what you love and are passionate about, as you have awakened a new passion in me and thousands of others. From the bottom of my heart, I am sending you love and kindness always. ❤

This video actually helped me a lot! I've been planning of getting a hamster soon, and this video really helped! Now i know how to properly take care of my future hamster. Thank you so much!!

Girl your videos helped me so much while building my hamster enclosure. Your really sweet and clear when it comes to instruction, and my hampter seems comfortable and happy. Her name is Piastrella ( floor tile in english lol). Whish you the best ❤️

The sprays make the cage so much more nice and awesome

I want a hampster but my mom says they can die to everything including sound

even tho i love them i struggle with money and babysit rats often for money to help and used to do art comissons to help with bills so i can only afford a small cage but i let them out as often as i can so they can run around

Also, most hamsters live 2 to 3 years?????? I can't help but feel like the average 1-year lifespan comes from poor living conditions

Happy new year 🎊 another great video thanks Rachel 🎈😊
