How Big are Pet Store Cages really?

[@margalothegreat_hams]

A cage isn't just a house. It's a world, and we should remember that.

[@leahhh3500]

i wanna print posters quoting this and stick it all over pet stores!

[@fancyfeet7291]

I just can't understand buying a pet to make it miserable! The whole point of a having a pet is to care for it and provide for its needs! The enjoyment comes when that pet connects with you and doesn't feel like a prisoner, but part of a family.

[@margalothegreat_hams]

@@fancyfeet7291 So true, it just isn't fun to watch an animal trying to escape horrible conditions. I don't get how watching a stressed out animal and stressing it out even more is somehow "fun"

[@beardiemom]

Yeah, the way someone said it to me (not that I needed that, I was already planning to go over the recommended minimum space for my beardie) is: "Your enclosure shouldn't be the equivalent to a house, it should be a neighborhood." You can still take them out of that neighborhood from time to time, assuming they can be handled like hamsters or rats or beardies, but it should really cover their needs for exploration as much as their basic requirements for living.

[@hi-nk4py]

[@christopherlee3026]

A standard minimum legal prision cell size is larger than that, and Hamsters haven't even broken the Law.

[@masontyksinski5323]

is this a joke?

[@bienemaja9058]

@@masontyksinski5323 Sadly, not really. The _minimum_ size of a prison cell for a single prisoner that is recommended by the International Red Cross Committee is 5.4 m2 (58 sq ft). Which is almost exactly the size from the video. Luckily, some countries now have/are introducing legislation requiring more space than that per prisoner.

Hey Victoria// Wonderful video as ever! I just wanted to say that I do work in a pet store (not Pets at Home / we dont sell animals) and I've made a business pitch to my bosses to implement large hamster cages into our stores. I made an 11 page google doc about how bad cages are currently, how we need to educate people and actually linked your YT channel to show how big of a community it is; They want to have a meeting with me on 1st March about my idea! I'm really hoping they'll take me up on my idea so we can sell good cages to hamster parents

[@manamagician]

@@spottedheartanimations I’m so nervous 😂

[@lemonrblxedits9601]

That's amazing! You should never be worried or afraid to do what's right.

[@anthonycarbone3826]

You need to come prepared for their objections such as... the amount of space a large enclosure takes up in a pet store, displacing other salable items; the amount of profit for a large enclosure compared to a small enclosure that looks bright and fun. Now the positives would be if a large enclosure was mass produced the cost of manufacturing it would decrease allowing it to be more affordable for people who want to buy and treat their hamsters with a humane living environment. You could point out that a larger enclosure could start a huge amount of after purchase items that would now be able to fit in the cage. Different colors, different styles and such leading to a hamster purchase at a small price could lead to more sales and purchases later driving customers back in the store on a more frequent basis to enrich their pets environment. Victoria will say that vertical space does not count but I believe that a three to four floor (each floor 400 sq in) enclosure with safe inclines would add total square footage that is usable and livable while decreasing total square footage the enclosure takes on the floor . A hamster could have a large deep bottom floor suitable for burrowing with a portion for the wheel that would have openings through the second and third floor while allowing the hamster to have other enriching items on other floors. By keeping the food at a higher level the hamster would be encouraged to leave their burrowing space where they could be seen and appreciated by their owner. I have designed many multiple bin enclosures but a bin is a clunky starting point in the design process as plastic bins have to be suitable for releasing humidity and allowing air in but a real good design could be made from the start for a hamster living environment using low weight components suitable for a hamster while relying upon natural elements to enrich a home and the hamsters life.

[@kieraharris4933]

Maybe like a year ago I wanted a hamster, asked my parents, since I’m 16 and responsible they said yes w/out me having to beg since I already have pets. I picked everything out, bought it (since I have a job), and I bought an ikea detolf. When it got here and I built it with my brother, they said a hamster doesn’t need that much space and to send it back. After a few mins of trying to prove them wrong, ‘I’m the child and their the parents so I’m wrong.’ She went to Amazon and found the a critter trail, she said ‘either this or no hamster bcuz they don’t need that much space.’ I obviously chose no hamster bcuz I don’t want him/her to suffer and I’m sad😔

[@Apollo-hi1jj]

That sucks :( it’s your money so it shouldn’t matter what they say

[@VictoriaRaechel]

I'm really sorry to hear that :( It's a shame parents have such a say at the end in how much space you can choose to give an animal in your own room especially when you've paid for it.

[@winniechen943]

You should send your parents this video. Tell them they have been misinformed. And that your ikea detolf would have looked way more attractive and smelled way better than that critter trail would have smelled.

[@oceannielps4936]

It was same for me at first when I found out I was abusing my baby girl mimiki(she died and we got new hamsters they both live now in separated cages)it’s took like a whole year to prove my mom that hamsters need good bedding and a big enough cage I even sent her a Facebook group but at first she never wants to check the group but when we got my new baby from someone who have a lots of hamsters (in bin cages and good condition)she was wondering why they where living in bin cages and she checked the group and now my new baby have 104l bin cages and even a big play pen and a bunch of toys and a lot of healthy food

Honestly the “cage” for the human is a really good and huge cage for a HAMSTER they need a lot of room as you can tell! I made the cage you made for your hammy and mine loves it! He haven’t really came out a lot anymore I know he’s alive because he’s eating but I don’t see him anymore like our bond is broken or something… he is getting older tho so I try to give him the most enriched life possible but I always feel like I’m not doing enough or I’m not good enough for him. He used to come out to play but now he’s in his borrows all the time. I miss him so much. I’m what to do and I’m just tired of sleeping on the couch because of him lol (he is going into a pet room to and getting a new play pen if he comes out) luv u ❤️

[@ChristieHelm]

The same thing happened when I upgraded my daughter's hamster enclosure so we got the video camera Victoria uses. The camera has an app and whenever it detects movement it will record 10 seconds or so. If you get the SD Card you can choose to play back longer periods of time. You can also set the app to alert you when there is movement so maybe on a weekend when you have nothing to do early the next day you can set it to wake you up and have some play time. It's not too expensive either. We got the Wyze V3 Cam from Amazon for about $40 and the card was another $13. Good luck!

[@suilcandy]

if i had to live in that space and wasnt allowed to leave id probably try and escape poor hamsters :(

[@littleblessings8]

I just love how you explained everything about why the pet store cages are so small by using what it would be like for a human to live in something so small!

[@fridaaa0]

I'm gonna point out that the calculations in this video are done for if a human was standing all the time. But we mostly sit in our homes. That takes up more space. We even lie down sometimes and that takes up even more space (our full length x width, not just width x width). So these are my calculations for a human in their most common position when they're hanging out in their home: sitting. The area that sitting takes up is approx 70x60 cm, that is 4200square cm. That makes the cage 4200 x 34.4 square cm. That becomes an area 14,4 square meters. The cage ends up being around the size of 3m x 4,8m which is the same as 9.8 x 15.7 square feet or 154 square feet. Yeah, that is still too small, especially if you couldn't leave when you wanted. And certainly if you're an animal that runs for a living.

This is such a great way to show how small the hamster's "world" is in a small pet store cage. What's sad, is that in my country there are even smaller cages sold for hamsters and people like those because they take up so little space and are so cheap. Just in December I rescued a dwarf hamster from living in a carrier. She's doing much better now, living in a 100cmx50cm enclosure and she's getting upgraded to a diy 120cmx55cm enclosure soon. 😊❤

Because of videos like this I bought a tall detolf cabinet and made a cage out of it for my dwarf hamster. He was extremely scared at first because all his previous life was spent in small enclosures at pet store. Now he loves it. When he comes out for exercise he'll take turns running in his wheel and running around the cage. He's a runt dwarf. Half the size of a normal dwarf. Very small. The cage is like 6 feet long. He has variety for his runs and he loves that. It's so fun to watch him run around. There are different objects in there too that he can climb and jump from as he runs around. He's really a happy little guy.

I used to have 50 hamsters back when I was still in elementary school, me and my dad took care of them. We used 2 medium hamster cages (larger than the small cage in the video) and 2 small plastic cages for seperating the pregnant hamster. I never thought that even one hamster needs a lot of space and I just found out about it this year, literally this year 😅😂 in your videos! Also about hamsters do like burrowing themselves in the bedding. Thanks to you, I now have learned more things about hamsters that I still don't know yet. Oh yeah, about my 50 hamsters back in my childhood, glad that they never get stress or die because of less space of their enclosure. My hamsters died because of the flood that happens every year at my old home and they slowly died little by little. I know it's very sad and horrible but now it's all in the past, I do miss them though but it's only a memory now. And now I've finally be able to get some hamsters again. This time I have only 4 of them, 3 females and 1 male. They're all Winter White hamsters. And... From now I always watch your educational videos about hamster and learn to get to understand them even more. For now, I'm using some big plastic containers for their enclosure and haven't been able to get some more stuff for them (like chew toys, bridges, hideouts, etc), but one day I will try and upgrade their enclosure as soon as I can. Also thank you so much for your educational videos about animals! It really inspires me to be a better pet owner on taking care of them.
