i adopted a hamster | getting my robo dwarf hamster vlog

Hi everyone! This is the most exciting video I have made on my channel because today I adopted an adorable little hamster! I am so excited to have this little guy in my life and to share this moment with you all!
It is so important to me to clarify that I adopted my new Roborovski dwarf hamster and did not purchase him from a pet store like Petco or PetSmart. My store holds adoptable hamsters from local humane societies so that customers have the option in-store to adopt instead of purchase them from the breeders! You can see the sign on the tank at the pet store at moment 6:10 in the video. Also, I got him a hideout house that was not in the video so don't be concerned! He is in great hands :) With this being said, I am completely open to having a conversation in the comments on hamster care!
I really hope you all enjoyed this vlog of me getting my new hamster during quarentine in 2021! Let me know if you want to see more hamster content on my channel in the future! I have some fun ideas :)
Thanks for watching!!!

Hey everyone! I have an updated hamster cage tour where you can see the new cage improvements :) Queso is happy and healthy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpSmo5eCe9CDj9k

[@RUReady4It]

Hello! I have an answer for your question. Ok, so I know you got a roborovski hamster, so that might be why. Robo’s are a little harder to tame then others, they tend to be more stubborn. You might also have a “Ghost Hamster” where basically, the hamster just likes to be alone, and be in their own little world. If you want more information, I would recommend watching Victoria Raechel’s “Ghost Hamster” video. They are really informative.

Is the sopresh paper bedding good? Cuz i have it and im thinking if i could change it to that..

i love how he kind of blends in with the bedding! he’s so cute and i just wanna hug him so badly!!! i hope he’s doing well right now…… *tell him i love him*

[@marley.fotografi]

He’s very cute! Would recommend adding more bedding for him to burrow. Also please have more accessories for him! Like more hides cuz robos like it’s over crowded

[@ROBLOX-xm2wq]

Bruh

[@marley.fotografi]

@@ROBLOX-xm2wq I’ve said that two months ago she already upgraded 😒

[@josephinealgra8858]

Yeah so true! We have at least 2 full hands of soft bedding for our gerbils. And we add some hay to help them burry!!

[@tenley5856]

Hello if you don’t mind I’m just gonna give you some tips that you can do to improve your hamster a happy life! First I would recommend throwing out that food almost immediately even if it says that it’s mostly recommended it’s not good at all, it’s main ingredient is hay substituting all the other protein and nutrition that the hamster needs making it not good for the hamster :/ I recommend getting the food called Sunburst it’s the most recommended food for your animal! Make sure The package says hamsters because they do have Sunburst for rabbits also! I also recommend A sand bath, the hamster breed you have requires at least 1/4 of the enclosure to be sand, you can put some sand in a container and that works perfect, the container should at least be 6x5! The sand should not have calcium in it the most recommended sand is “repti sand” just make sure you read the package to make sure you’re not buying it with calcium!. I hope this helps! Also your hamster is so cute 😫

[@AshleysAesthetic]

Thank you! I already got a different food anyways because he didn’t like it haha and thanks I actually was just looking at sand baths today thank you again for this!

[@tenley5856]

@@AshleysAesthetic no problem! Glad I could help:)

[@feliciago88]

Yes, completely correct. I myself owns two hamsters and I also give my hams foods that is the more expensive type,which means that I feed them the much more healthier type. I have been following this hamster channel which is very good at hamsters. She had given me very good info about hamsters, and I think that everyone should check it out.

[@feliciago88]

[@AshleysAesthetic]

Thank you so much!!

[@powercutstorm4833]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhh

[@KellyKelly1618]

Also, a 40 gallon tank or bigger is the minimum size for any hamster. If you have the space I recommend getting a Ikea Detolf and turning it into a DIY cage.

[@sage_kim]

I agree!! But the Ikea DETOLF is really thin and is really short. This causes them to have less burrowing space so going with the Ikea PAX could be better :)

[@gigibent8255]

@@sage_kim are you kidding ??! The ikea detolf is long you can have 13 inches of bedding

[@pretzelz.22]

@@sage_kim well the Ikea detolf is actually a perfectly suitable cage 😊

[@ssomeoneyouknoww]

@@sage_kim As a person who owns both an ikea detolf, a pax and a bin cage I can absolutely agree. My hybrid didn’t settle until she got a cage over 2 square meters. 🤗

@@gigibent8255 Of course it’s wonderful for a hamster! Though if you had to choose I’m just saying I would go for the Ikea PAX.

[@KellyKelly1618]

I snuck home a hamster in 2018 when I was like 21 years old or something, but I was so happy. Currently I want to go get two robo hamsters from a family who's kids don't take care of them anymore, but my dad won't let me :(

[@AshleysAesthetic]

That’s heart breaking I’m so sorry, I hope he comes around!!

[@elidaborchsenius4375]

Omg, he is adorable!❤️ Something that I noticed though, is the twenty gallon tank. A 20 gallon sadly is not big enough. When using tanks for hamsters you can not use anything smaller than a 40 gallon. If a 40 gallon is not something that you can/ want to get you can also go with bin cages the IKEA Samla bin is a great option. Another tip I have is to crowd the cage a little more. You could use cork logs, grapevinewood etc. Robotovskis also naturally come from a very sandy area and therefore they need a sand bath (all hamsters need sandbaths). Robos actually need 1 third of their cage to be sand. She is SOOO cute, and I hope she is still doing good.❤️

[@tinaanduzi]

Your over 18, means you're an adult. Means that no one can forbid you something :)

[@FujishimaAkiko]

@Myah Papayah If the robos grew up together, they can be housed together. I currently have 5 robos in one massive enclosure. All the same sex so no breeding. There is no fighting ever, they all sleep in a pile together too. Robos and dwarfs are actually social and live in groups in the wild, unlike Syrians. Even male dwarf hamsters care for their offspring, unlike Syrians. In fact, if a person is the type to want multiple hams, Robos and other dwarf breeds (outside of Chinese Dwarfs, which are also social, but can also be territorial at times, so out of all the dwarf breeds, the Chinese ones are a little more difficult to house in groups) are the best choice as they're the easiest to socialize even with newer introductions when done properly. Robos thrive best in groups, rather than being solitary.

[@raedalley993]

Reading the comments I’m sure you’ve already updated a lot of stuff, but I will say that I recommend to feed the hamster Higgins sunburst with Mazuri rat and mouse food, it provided the proper nutrition and unfortunately oxbows hamster food just doesn’t!

[@demoncatcatrulerofeternity3922]

Good thing you got THAT bedding. It’s the best for hamsters!

[@Jerry_the_cat]

That is a great enclosure! I suggest adding more bedding so he can burrow. You can also add other substrates for a more enriching experience.

[@TheRatCharmer]

looks great for someone who hasn't had a hamster before id just make sure you put at least six inches of bedding and a little house. hes super cute

I'm so happy that you obviously did your research first and gave the hammy a large cage as many just go with the cute little critter trail ones that are far from suitable.

[@thatxxweirdxequestrianxx6999]

Completely agree, I did all my research for rats and there's so many people who get glass cages for them (rats) (clarify:rats have very fragile lungs, very prone to resptory issues so a glass cage is super bad for them)

Hi, so because youve gotten a dwarf hamster i would recommend that you fill the cage up a little more because robos get very scared in open spaces and filling the open spaces with hides and climbing toys and such can enrich your hamster much more which can be very enriching x And perhaps adding a little more bedding would be great too x apart from that congratulations on your new friend x :)

I have3 robo hamsters and they often love to have a friend. Hamsters are very social creates so maybe in the near further you might wanna get a 2nd one. They love to snuggle each other and keep each other’s company. I also recommend yogurt bites and fresh fruits and veggies. Though don’t give them too many as hamsters are prone to diabetes. Make sure to take our any fresh veggies a few hours later so they don’t grow bacteria. I hope little buddy and you are happy!
