@@daenasworldyt7393 it supports unethical breeding. Most pet shop hamsters come from small animal farms and are not well bred which can lead to health issues.

Hello💕 I’m so glad you’ve teasearched before you got a hamster. I just wanted to say that I don’t see a wheel at the end, a wheel is as important as food and water so you do n Ed to get one if you haven’t already, the minimum wheel size for a Syrian is 11 inches.

hi there! when the video was filmed i had ordered one online that hadn’t come in the mail yet. oliver now has an 11” silent spinner that he absolutely loves. thank you for the advice tho! :)

TYSM for researching... This is not a hate comment but if you wanna make it more natural you could add a water bowl because in the wild hamsters drink from puddles and ponds. I also really love water bottles but just a recommendation to make it as natural as possible if u wanted. You could also get a candle holder thing and use it as a super cute water dish!!!

I love this video. You are a wonderful hamster owner. I watched your entire video, and I too had a proud mama moment watching him burrow.💜 The only suggestion I would make is to add some Hay into his home. They will love nibbling on it & it helps tunnels stay up wonderfully. I'm sure you've got a ton laying around with your cute bunnies !

Proper care!! 💖

[@evie402]

Watching burrowing animals burrow for the first time is my favorite thing ever, I remember seeing all my mice burrowing for the first time and I've never felt more proud, 2 of them were rescues that I got from very poor conditions and had never gotten the chance to make burrows and I later got a baby feeder mouse who I fell in love with and couldn't leave behind and her first burrow was amazing because she kept trying to dig in the shallow bedding of the feeder bin so when she got into the deep 10inch+ bedding she was just immediately under.

I realize this video is over a year old but youtube just recommended it to me so.. HI! The last bit of this video got me all heart eye emoji-ing... My recent rescue hammy is also an orangey long haired syrian and looks almost exactly like this little floof. He was in a tiny critter trail and barely fit his tubes! I got a 75 gallon tank off facebook marketplace lol yay for cheap tank finds! The afternoon I brought him home, he spent like 5 hours running on his new big boy wheel... he didn't even fit in his previous wheel. The following morning, I noticed some bedding disturbed in the bottom of his tank and I got proud mama moments too, all excited that he had burrowed for the first time in his life.

THANK YOH SO MUCH FOR DOING RESEARCHH!! i know a lot of hamster owners go to the store get a hamster without research and also build the cage and everything AFTER buying one!!! you obvi prob know this but if you are able to... free roam him or even put him in a playpen or bathtub because they love to run around! make sure you have proper wheel size and stuff too (13” best). and with the sand bath, make sure you don’t have a dust or powder sand(reptile and chinchilla best). just some tips for stuff you didn’t mention just to be sure you know which you most likely do.

[@leneortego9271]

Omg I’m late to this video but I love this!!!! We got our first ham on March 18 and now we’re about to get our fifth 😂😂 we have a short haired Syrian, two winter whites, a robo, and we’re about to get a long haired Syrian!! I’m like unable to ignore hamsters being neglected so I keep taking in more!! The reptile section is the bestttt part of the pet store like I swear the only place I shop for hamsters is the reptile section! Also our first ham had straw as her bedding in her first home so she was never able to burrow, and when she first got to burrow when we adopted her I was so happy 😭 you seem like the best pet mom!!! Btw one of our winter whites is named Olive and we call her Ollie 🥰 sorry for the long comment haha but I really relate with you and little Oliver is sooooo cute!

[@nzpaws]

It looks really great! The only things I'd suggest would be adding some more bedding as the tank is very tall and hamsters thrive from additional burrowing room (you may need to make a lid, I suck at that so I use playpen panels 😂). Also would benefit from a multi chambered house or sand bath (they need at least 2 hides to help them feel secure). Really impressed with how much you learnt in such a short time span!

[@AndreaHa]

Just came across this video while binge watching hamster videos. Awesome to see someone taking proper care of a hamster from the get-go... I will admit the first two weeks of my hamster's life with me were not ideal but she is absolutely thriving now in a DIYed 50 gallon sterilite stacker bin! I adopted her from a friend when she was 2 months old and immediately knew that cage was wrong. I'd love an update on how your little cutie is doing now 🤩 I especially love the starry night backdrop!!

Hey! I noticed you said many times that you had a natural enclosure for the little guy. Also i saw it too! One thing i would suggest is buying some hay for the tank. It adds some natural colour, smells GREAT and makes the burrows more stable. It is farelly cheap, around 7-8$, hope this comment helped! Also, Oli is so CUTE!

[@Seilah789]

You did such a good job!! Idk if you already know this, but when cleaning the cage you should reuse part of the bedding bc they'll get stressed when put into a completely new environment. Oh and if the water bottle doesn't work (or you dont like the look of it) you could also just use a bowl, since drinking out of a bottle is unnatural for them :) These are just tiny tips since you obviously did a great job at researching and giving the lil guy a great enclosure

[@elliephant6558]

Ohh wow perfect amount of bedding love to see him burrow

[@tiaunnadeleo6673]

I would add a lot more bedding in there just because you can and Syrians are much bigger so they need more space than 6 inches to borrow. Especially because the aquarium is so tall you have a lot of room to do it and it’s fine if the wheel is sticking out to the top because they cant get out from the wheel. Just as long as you don’t have anything to tall on the edges of the cage. How ever many inches your hamsters is plus 2 is how many inches there needs to be from the top of the cage to the bedding to make sure he can’t get out. And I personally use a water bowl cause it’s more natural but both bowl and bottle are fine

[@imoviefilms8385]

It’s amazing to see great hamster care! I know this was 10 months ago, but a tip I would give you would be to use a cup to get him out of his cage let him settle in is cage for a day and then you can interact with him!
