How To Choose A Healthy Hamster

[@audreyjensen9653]

Method 1: Choose a plump hamster that is hanging from a vine and is not resting on the ground. A good hamster will be green all over, no yellow splotches. Clip the vine so that another hamster can grow

[@hamstermamma2964]

Sounds about right lol😂

[@LilGagaChick]

Reminds me of the Simpson's Episode where they buy a snake by the foot. Clip. Here's your snake.

[@Aisha-721]

Lol

[@babygirlincorporated]

Omg it took me so long to understand 😫

[@Timbit]

I always get the "messed" up hamster that nobody wants because I know nobody will buy them and I'm the person to give them a good life all my hamsters have been that "one" nobody wants and they're the most loving babies and I love them

[@Will-rx7jh]

+Femke S. Once I felt so bad for taking my hamster from its brothers I adopted them all, which means I have 4 hamsters now xD They are so kind to eachother they even groom eachother!

[@Timbit]

+William Plays thats so sweet of you what type of hamsters are they

[@Will-rx7jh]

Katooloo Syrians, 2 are long haired.

WolfGamer 68 I want a hamster so bad but my mom thinks that they'll spread disease and that they are dirty, she even said that she'd rather get a cat than a hamster. Do you have one now?

[@wolfgamer6874]

emeraldquartz hamsters don't spread diseases and they're not dirty unless you don't clean them, (you don't clean them with water, you use a sand bath)i haven't got mine yet, but I know a lot about hamsters because I have done so much research on them, if you really want a hamster, do lots of research on them and make a powerpoint about hamsters saying what good pets they make and show it your mom. Also if you have never owned a hamster before I suggest getting a Syrian hamster they are bigger and easier to tame (all hamsters are different so it doesn't apply to all Syrians, but generally speaking) Hope this helped :)

I went to petsmart yesterday and they had 1 hamster (Syrian) and he was so cute! The lady took the cage out that he was in and I put my hand down in the cage he came right over and sniffed my hand he didn't even mind people holding him because at petsmart he gets very spoiled since he is the only one! I was really surprised how tame he was! So I'm going back in a couple of days cause they are getting more hamsters I was thinking about getting him! Do you think that's a good idea?

[@IbiActive]

Sure. Hopefully he is potty trained....

[@elgordo687]

Get the hamster from where ever you want. Petco & Petsmart do not get their hamsters from mills, they have contracts with breeders who sell hamster pups that aren't good enough for shows to pet stores. Nobody breeds hamsters for profit, hamsters cost 100x more to keep than can be earned selling them.

[@bhammy7552]

El Gordo That is actually not true. Backyard breeders (which are the breeders you are talking about) and rodent mill still exist, where the animals are bred in very poor conditions (which reduces the cost for the animals). I don't think an ethical breeder would ever sell their hamsters to a pet store, so the breeders you are talking about are probably unethical. Unethical breeding can cause genetic problems and different health problems. Some even die due to genetic issues! That is why it is always preferable to adopt, but if you have no other option and still want a hamster, then you'll have to buy from a pet store.

[@elgordo687]

Also, many dwarf hamster breeders aren't even breeding for show quality...dwarf hamsters are easier to keep than mice and are feeders for their reptile collection. Any that don't get eaten are sold to the pet store. So technically every hamster at the pet store was considered not fancy enough to show or by chance wasn't eaten by something else and is a rescue.

[@elgordo687]

The individual breeders were paid $1-$2 per hamster or were given store credit. Not enough money made to be considered profit.

[@TinyPaws-zu3jz]

I have a special hamster currently. He is fine and perfectly normal but he has a special tooth. He has 1 tooth that is pearly white and all of the others are normal. It grows faster than the others but thankfully it grows outward! :) He defiantly has a special place in my heart. Awe I love him. And yes I do take him to an exotic vet every few months to get it trimmed.

[@lauradore_a]

but then I feel bad for the ones who aren't healthy.. I JUST WANT TO HELP THEM ALL lol. True story.

[@Hkhm]

True, But you're can help one with adopting it:)

[@SomethingAnimal]

If you have the ability to help a sick hamster and get it vet treatment that is a fantastic thing to do and can make a big difference for that hamster :)

[@lauradore_a]

+ErinsAnimals I suppose it's how well you deal with heartbreak as well. Just last night my dwarf hamster potentially fractured his little leg! Currently waiting for the vet to call back and see what we should do. They're such hardy little animals, little soldier keeps troshing on even though he's obviously in pain! They don't get nearly enough credit for their guts. Brilliant video, as always! :)

funny how if a hamster has white teeth then that means something is wrong but with humans it different

[@imawesome3660]

no human teeth are supposed to have a yellow tint in their teeth

[@quanduid9690]

Im Awesome yep

[@Im15cheese]

It's because we brush our teeth, and some people whiten their teeth.

[@ameliapiner9245]

Actually tooth enamel is naturally yellow

[@nightmare3691]

Super white teeth actually can mean there’s some issue with your health (not 100% sure if this is correct but I’ve heard about something like this) so having a bit of a yellow tint is perfect!

[@TanukiTobey]

Yeah, I got a hamster last night and she passed away by the time I woke up. Her joints were locked up and she was stone cold. I didn't get to know her well, but she was such a sweetheart. I cried tears of joy when I got her, so we decided to call her Crybaby. I miss her so much 💔

[@samanthapotter7199]

so i got 2 hamsters a few days ago. one of them was perfectly healthy, happy, and she was very friendly. in the other hand, the other hamster named Layla was very scared and shy. i couldn’t pick her up or anything. the next day i started to pet her and tried to pick her up. later that day she fell asleep on me. well that’s my story ! :)

This video is extremely helpful so thank you! I have a question though, I go to my grandma's every once in a while or sleep over at friend's houses some times, should I bring my hamster with me to my grandma's and keep a separate cage there since i usually stay there for a 12 hours during the day or should I let my hamster stay home while I'm gone until I get back at night? I just want to make sure my hamster won't get hurt while I'm out so I'm not sure when to take hamsters and when not to. Thanks!

[@SomethingAnimal]

Your hamster can stay at home, you only need to worry if you are gone for more than 2 days then you'll need a pet sitter/someone to care for your hamster while you are gone :)

[@autumnandaverysanimals6562]

Hello Erin! Amazing video (as always :3). I am planning on adopting a Syrian hamster soon, and I have some quick things to ask. I usually come to my local PetSmart in the day time (I know it's PetSmart, but this particular one actually gives them solid wheels, good bedding and usually don't keep Syrians together), and I don't often get a chance to see them much. Do you think it would be okay or stressful if I asked a store associate to take out the hamster? And I said usually when I meant they don't keep Syrians together. I saw two cute little black ones sleeping yesterday. Would it be alright if I chose one of the two, or do you think that because they are kept together, then one or the other would have some kind of stress-related health problem? -Thanks!

[@alaina7778]

I think they would be fine because Syrians are generally solitary

Erin , I have a question about hamster cages ... I will be getting a hamster soon and my dad will be making a room in the garage to keep it in ! Is this safe ? It will be just like a normal room with a cage in it ! The correct size ! And will have a radiator there too !

Please help about 4 mo ago I bought 2 Campbells and one is super tame and the other one lunges at me anytime I go to feed it and doesn't let the other one eat food and he's bitten me and drawn blood 5 times she is getting worse every day what should I do should I seperate them or just don't touch her and let her be "unsocial"?

Hey Erin(or anyone ;P), what it the best brand of sunflower seeds for a Robo?

This channel really helped me convince my dad to get me a hamster!

What about if my male ham has a greasy patch right behind his head? He was formerly abused but the vet cleared him as mostly healthy (some long term breathing effects but that's all)

I didn't check my winter whites hearing when I got him, and he is deaf. I love him though. And his nervous brother lol

Hello this is Danny I was just wanting to ask I got two roborovski dwarf hamsters I bought a plastic cage from Pets at Home and it's large is it big enough for 2 roborovski as I've already got them in there another thing I wanted to ask is when I got them from Pets at Home the woman told me they have to be separated they both males is that true or false thank you Danny

Umm, My past hamster, Puff, sometimes when I took her out in the cage while she was sleeping (because I was a stupid child) one of her eyes once was closed and it looked like she was crying, I gently opened it and she was fine, that only happened to her 2 times in between 2 years of time, was that something to worry about?

Hey Erin, I was wondering if you could use sawdust for a hamsters cage .. I use it for my guinea pigs and I was wondering if it would be okay for them. Because if I was getting the Detolf I was wondering what type of substrate i could use (I live in the UK so a lot of bedding people use isn't at my pet shop)

[@petsarelifepetsarelove6542]

I know I'm not Erin but I'm happy to help ^3^ and your answer is no sawdust is dangerous to hamsters as it could cause respiratory problems for them it's kinda like pine and cedar and if you want a cheap option for hamster bedding you could buy aspen! :) you could also do d.i.y hamster bedding ( Erins animals has 2 vids :) you could also cut paper towels and cut them up sugar hammy has a vid :D I hope this helped :3

My hamster had a bald patch on left hand side so we booked an appointment to the vets and while we were waiting for the day to come his hair grew back and he's back to his normal active self, should I still be worried though?
