GETTING A HAMSTER

[@MiaKehrer]

I looove seeing people doing research before getting a pet! Especially because hamsters are pets that are so often misunderstood. Be proud! 🐹❤

[@ilovebasil__]

Wait I thought that doing research before buying a pet is a normal thing. Are some people really that dumb ?

[@ilovebasil__]

@Emelyn Huynh lol its like Common sense to do a research ! Do someone really just buy the pet ?! When I wanted chinchilla I had to research everything and then present it to my parents , or I wasnt getting one !

[@Madelynromano]

I have been doing research for about a year now and i got a hamster for Christmas! My parents saw how i wanted one and how responsible i am!

[@MiaKehrer]

@@ilovebasil__ yes, you are right, it should be common sense, but just look at the hashtag hamster on Instagram and you'll see how many hamsters live in shitty cages an conditions

[@MiaKehrer]

She is the perfect example of how you can get love and positive comments by just doing research for your Pet!

I have a question is a 47 tank big enough for a hamster : breed : teddy bear panda

[@Karina-vs7rx]

my parents said that if I show that I am responsible enough by keeping my room clean until we move or build our house (6-48months) then i will get a bunny. So Im using all this time to do my research. Its really the least people could do to provide a good home for their pet

[@annavinter8275]

Hey :) I hope you're okay with me just giving some tips/advice on your hamster care even though you are already to a much better start than most people 🥰 #1 Cage I am SO glad you got him a large enough cage! But since the cage is so big, you could fit so many more cool things! Hamsters benefit from loads of different hides and a sand bath which would probably make your hammy even happier than he already is in his massive tank. #2 Bedding The type of bedding you have is a great choice and is regarded as one of the best hamster beddings out there so that's good. Now just add MORE lol. Hamsters are burrowers and they dig 3 feet into the ground in the wild. I would say put 8-12 inches in one end and then slope the bedding down on the other end so you can fit taller things that don't touch the top of the tank. And more is ALWAYS better :) #3 Wheel Your hammy (SUPER adorable by the way) looks a lot like a Campbells/Winter White dwarf hamster and both these species of hamster need 8 inch wheels so their backs don't bend unhealthily. A 6.5 isn't the worst, but I would still recommend upgrading just for the sake of his back. #4 Diet The mix you got "Higgins Sunburst Hamster and Gerbil" is a really great mix for variety, but sadly no sole commercially available mix will do the job so it is highly advised to mix one bag of Higgins Sunburst with one bag of Mazuri Rat and Mouse pellets. This is because Higgins has loads of great variety for your hamster, but it has 15% protein which is on the lower side for hamsters, who are advised to have approx. 18%. Mazuri acts as a protein booster and adds that little boost of protein making both of those mixed together, a great diet for your hammy. Additional resources - If you aren't already a member, I would highly recommend you join the Hamster Hideout Forum. They have answers to basically everything and if you want to PM (private message) me for more info on there my username is AnnaHeartsHamsters. Also, the youtube channels Victoria Raechel and ErinsAnimals will be LIFESAVERS! Phew! If you read through all that thank you and I truly am sorry if anything I said or suggested came off as rude. Your hammy is one of the cutest I have ever seen and I wish you and him loads of fun times 😊 Bye!

[@kaylaepark]

omg that wasn’t rude at all! i’m always open to suggestions and advice so thank you so much for your comment :) I did watch a lot of videos from Victoria Raechel and ErinsAnimals, they are great sources! I definitely want to add more to the cage but unfortunately that was all my father was letting me get for the time being. I will for sure add more things when I get the money to :) but overall thank you so much, I will definitely look into what you said 🥰🥰

[@alexh9472]

Omg literally someone could’ve explained this clearly like you on so much hamster videos I watch people don’t do anything right and I fell so bad for the hamster thx for actually doing your research and watching all of those videos of Victoria Raechel she helped me so much to correct some of the things I did worn your so amazing

I recommend getting a bigger wheel for the hamster because a bigger wheel is always better because if a wheel is too small for a hamster then they will arch there back and they will be uncomfortable

Sometimes you have to be careful that the wheel is too big as it can cause the hamster to flip off. My Russian draws struggled a lot with a standard 6” until I realised the grips were too smooth

[@Ilovefoodlol_]

The wheel is a perfect size for her dwarf hamster since they are small

[@rachelc9971]

i love that you did research-you’ve made many people in the small animal community very happy by doing so!! as i’m sure you’ve already heard from others, at least 6-8 inches of bedding is recommended. another tip i’ve learned is that a simple way to keep your hammy mentally stimulated and engaged is scatter feeding. they love finding their food around the cage and it keeps them busy! good luck with your new little friend!!! they are wonderful companions 😊

[@tiffanythibodeau6639]

hiii!! i know you said this about a month ago but i recently got a hamster for my birthday and i did my research before hand don’t worry!! he’s in a bin quite large for a hamster lol but i noticed he try’s to climb up it? do you know why? how do i make him feel more comfortable in his cage because apparently it may be stress? i tried adding more bedding because i know they need 6-8 inches but he still try’s to climb it / escape. And do you know how i could get him to trust me more? i’ve tried my best but i don’t wanna stress the poor guy out since i’ve only have him for 5 days.

[@rachelc9971]

@@tiffanythibodeau6639 hi! i experienced the same thing (trying to escape/climbing walls) with both my hamsters for the first week or two. he’s still getting acclimated and it’s stressful to be in a new place all of a sudden, as i’m sure you know. i wouldnt start trying to tame him for a while. the longer you wait to interact, the more comfortable he’ll be. and as for trusting you, it’s normal for him to be timid. i’d recommend starting with treats. they’re very food motivated :)

I was prepared for the worst, but im very impressed with your care! I was expecting a crittertail or something lol your cage could definitely fit a LOT more stuff in it, hamsters like a lot of clutter in their home :) Also id recommend making the bedding deeper too! the last thing is a bigger wheel couldn't hurt otherwise everything looks great! Nothing about your current setup is bad, I like all your little decorations and hides I just wish you could have adopted a hamster instead of buying one at petsmart, but you are doing sooo much better than a lot of other owners ive seen 😊 amazing amount of space, and I like youre bedding choice too! So impressed!

[@cupofbees9413]

Hi hi! Tips from a hamster owner -i recommend using a water bowl instead of a water bottle -add the largest amount of bedding possible -feed mealworms and search up hamster foods like constant veggies -scatter feed, as in throw the food around the cage for enrichment -the bigger the wheel the better -only adopt hamsters, do not purchase from stores -get more hides -the whimzee dog chews are GREAT chews for hamsters -hamsters sleep throughout the day and may only come out once in a while to drink water or eat and then will wake up at night

[@zoedougan3246]

Hey great video but there are a few tips i would like to give you. Firstly, the wheel that you bought does look like a six and half inch, but i cant really tell. Anyway it looks a little bit to small for him i would consider getting a larger wheel as when the wheel is too small it can bend you hamsters back and cause back problems. Also as you have such a large enclosure, you can add a lot more toys to make your hammy feel more safe when he comes out of his sleeping area. You could also add a sand bath to the cage as well. And when you get another hamster maybe don't force him out of his box when your putting him in his new cage as this cause a lot more stress to your hammy. Instead, open the box and leave it inside the cage so that your hammy can come out in his own time. I would also consider getting a different food brand as the one your using doesn't contain enough nutrition. Moreover you could also add a LOT more bedding so that you can give your hammy the option to burrow a lot more. If you want more in depth explaining about all of this go to Victoria Rachel's channel on KZbin or Erin's Animals. Apart from all that your hamster care is quite good comparing to a lot of other people. I hope you take this comment in a positive way.

[@kaylaepark]

thank you for the advice!! i appreciate it and i will be changing some things up and probably do an update later on :))

i got mine from petco :)) www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/aqueon-standard-glass-aquarium-tank-55-gallon-5051128-1

I’m not hating or anything just to let you know! 😊 Everything about your hamster’s life is AMAZING! The huge tank/“cage”, the bedding, and all of the toys that you provided with your hamster are great! The one and only thing I’m concerned about is the food. Hamsters can’t have any seeds, colored food, or anything that even looks like that in that matter. I really recommend Kaytee or Oxbow. I own a lot of guinea pigs but I have 2 hamsters that I’m still progressing with. I’m also kind of a beginner myself so I just wanted to provide you with some research I did! It’s really good that you did your research and got everything your hamster wants AND needs! Keep it up! 😁

[@adysonleeotwell8038]

I’m soo glad you did your research! It is so frustrating when people don’t! I can recommend one thing, I see you have a very tall tank and you could really take advantage of this by adding more bedding, because hamsters can burrow up to 3 feet in the wild! Just a recommendation. Love your tank by the way! 😁 You may have already watched her but I recommend Victoria Rachel on KZbin! She has some really great hamster videos!

I'm so happy that's someone has done research before getting hamster. The only thing I would say is to get a 8 inch week as that week is to small so could eventually break your hamsters back. You are doing really well so far and your hamster is so cute. If this is offensive I am sorry I was just trying to help xx

[@puglover6113]

I think you meant wheel?

[@slimebox2840]

@@puglover6113 yea

[@kaylaepark]

not offensive at all :)) his back doesn’t bend and that is why i haven’t upgraded it but if anything changes i will definitely be getting a bigger wheel :)

Guppy is soooo cute! I love this video so much, new subscriber

[@itstotallynotskyla1024]

You hamster is sooo cute! I love your setup for the cage but I would suggest adding a sand bath for him and maybe adding a few or just another hide for him so he can feel more secure!シ

[@yellowbears6671]

the hamster is so cute! the cage is amazing but i would suggest putting some more bedding so that it can burrow more!!

[@carleysenior7745]

Yayyyy! 😁 You did research! I would replace the water bottle with a dish!

[@dianebetancourt34]

For a start I think it’s pretty good! In the future definitely expand the enrichment, like a sand bath, include different types of hides. I love seeing a queen doing animals justice

[@Mar-lq3tm]

Hello great cage!! I just suggest adding more hideouts and tunnels because hamsters love crowded spots. And I also suggest adding more bedding and tunnels like in the bottom and they need a sand bath at least once a week

[@Mar-lq3tm]

I MEAN TO CLEAN THE SAND BATH AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK

[@SUMMERLION]

The enclosure is a good size but hamsters do burrow and like their enclosures to be semi-crowded. You should also add a sand box so they can bath in it! Another thing is that you should scatter-feed them by scattering food around the enclosure. The wheel also needs to be upgraded to at least a 10 inch wheel! Have a good day/summer.

Girl i legit respect you for doing research first that's most important before buying a pet. I got 2 hamsters🖤 in separate cages of course.

[@juanavlog2730]

A little suggestion is that u could add his old bedding into his peanut house to feel comfortable. You did really great I'm glad you did your research I wish I had a hammy!

[@490890]

Omg yay someone who can finally properly care for their hamster

[@earthysavanna3612]

I LOVE seeing amazing care 🥺

[@lissawilliams8877]

So happy that you did your research and are taking care of your little guy!
