I BOUGHT A HAMSTER *cage set-up & hamster haul*

[@KeiaunaGomez]

I advise everyone to watch this video all the way through to hear what I have to say about her cage! I will eventually upgrade to a bigger cage. I got rid of the ball and the dust bath and got repti sand instead and got rid of the oxbow food!😌

[@mel_tv5313]

That food is really bad as oxbow caters more towards hay based diets which aren’t good for hamsters because it has no benefits or nutrients for them and hamsters have been known to starve off of hay based diets. I recommend either Higgins sunburst or Vita garden mix with Mazuri rat and mouse lab blocks for protein

[@mel_tv5313]

Also I recommend making a bin cage out of a 50gallon storage bin you can find tutorials and I recommend watch Victoria Rachel she’s great! Hamsters also need atleast 6+in of bedding because they are ground dwellers and burrowers

[@justjoeythingsss]

just a way cheaper thing you can do is a 40 gallon storage bin which is ways cheap then what you did

[@justjoeythingsss]

im trying to be nice i hope your hamster lives a good live

[@teijaflink2226]

If she can find a big enough bin, otherwise the Detolf shelf from Ikea is great and huge, nany use it as a hamster cage, it's affordable for it's size too.

[@elise.claire]

i recommend scatter feeding. this is just when you scatter their food (fruit, veggies, dried fruit, dried flowers, nuts, seeds, etc.) around their enclosure. this gives them the experience of collecting food from different areas. it's so cute when they collect all the food by stuffing it in their cheeks and then they bring it to a designated to spit the food out and eat it.

[@ellahanson6538]

Thank you for taking the criticism!! One more thing: I would recommend deeper bedding. They say it should be about 6inches deep so you might need a taller cage so that the hamsters can burrow. Also. I would recommend getting a water bowl instead of a water bottle. Hamster find it really hard to squeeze water out of a water bottle and can die of thirst. Last thing. I know the pink bedding is cute, but you need to get white bedding so that if your hamster is showing any symtoms of being sick, you can see the blood or discharge in the bedding. Thank you!!!

Most of the bedding is white though

Agreed but the glass cages my hamster didn’t like he only liked the wire ones he was at the pet store in a glass tank and we thought he was sick so we took him but we put him in a wire cage and he was happy then got him a glass one and he was very upset so we switched him back to the wire cage (he passed away 2 years ago due to cancer which he got while he was 3yrs old)

[@_leyamch_6905]

I really dont think that a lot of people over-do it I think they "under-do" it. You have to regard the natural behaviour of hamsters and in nature they run so many Miles a day. hamsters are very curious and If they dont have enough Tasks, place to dig, hideouts or real sand to clean they get bored very soon and then they can Show a huge amount of behavioural problems.

[@_leyamch_6905]

And in addition i think If you cant afford it then dont ruin a pets life because you want so see this cute animal!! So please stop!!

[@kaelanesamannpitzer]

Thank you for taking the advice by everyone. I’m sure you have already seen all the comments but you should get 100% sand instead of the dust bath since the dust is to thin for them. You should also have at least 6in of bedding for them to burrow in and next time get white bedding so you can see when they are sick. It is best to have a water dish and not a bottle since they can have a hard time getting water out of a bottle. My last recommendation would be to get some other herbs and such to scatter around the tank for a change of smell and scenery. Thank you for considering this!

dont doom on wire vages too much! certain wire cages are okay aslong as they have the depth for burrowing or your willing to adapt it so it does. althought u can get better tanks and bin cages, some wire cages are actually suitable and although it's not ideal hamsters do love the bars ( im aware that it isnt amazing for hamsters to "monkey bar" but it is an enjoyable activity if not done in stress

[@brittanymorris606]

A hamster needs atleast 6inches of bedding to burrow. I would upgrade to atleast a 20gal tank. More floor space the happier they are. The hamster ball is more stressful to them and actually isn’t safe for them. They also love when you scatter food around the cage for them to find it. I already saw in another comment they mention dust isn’t good. It can cause respiratory infections. Make sure to get sand bath. Dust free. when you clean out her tank make sure you keep a few hand fulls of her old bedding to leave in the tank so she knows it’s her home and not a brand new one. Cleaning it completely out will make her think it’s a new home and stress her out all over again. I hope this helps ❤️

[@purpledream2991]

Cute robo! Robo hamsters especially are extremely active and need a ton of space. You should really try and get the 40 gallon tank if you can so she can have a happy life in her cage. Also hamsters are natural borrowers so you should have at least 6 inches of bedding at the bare minimum (even if thats just at one end). Id also recommend scatter feeding as its better to keep them from getting them bored :)

I love that you’re taking criticism really well, it really shows you love Horchata.

Also, please, please, please, get a larger wheel and make sure it isn’t mesh, mesh wheels can cause bumble foot. You should also watch Victoria raechal, she’s seriously a hamster guru! and for added enrichment, I recommend scattering herbs and leaves from Etsy and putting around some sprays, which are basically stalks that your hamster can take seeds from!

[@sarahloulouise]

okay im 100% not hating but im going to take notes during the video on how you can give your ham the best life possible! also I have a hamster care channel if you wanted to check it out:) as you acknowledged, a bigger cage (450sq inches minimum). get sand instead of dust, dust is really bad for their respiratory system as it is too fine and powdery, you can use children's play sand or non-dyed, no calcium added reptisand. As others have said they come from sandy areas so sand should makeup a larger part of their enclosure. i would not recommend using the blanket, it has long fibers that when they chew off pieces of the fabric to take to their burrow can very easily get wrapped around their teeth and stuck in their pouches. Its much more enriching for your hamster to have a high variety diet instead of pellets. something like higgins sunburst (which i see is the exact one you ended up getting!) for hamsters is great when paired with a protein lab block. cage cleaners arent the best due to the chemicals, a safe alternative is a 50/50 water and white vinegar mix! and the gerber puffs you got, nothing wrong with them, I just wanted to say my hamster is obsessed with them!

Remember to do your research! Like watching Victoria Reachel or erinsanimals etc. As they are a lot if you live in the us make sure the cage is above 450sq inches (width times by length in inches=sq inches). But I hope you can get a hamster and enjoy having one!

[@cristinchiqui1762]

@@Graces_life thank you, anything else .. I should know.? I’m probably gonna get one my mom said maybe so yeah:)

[@marliesjaspers]

Hamsters love running at nigth and love dark hiding places ❤❤❤

[@Destiny-ll3ko]

Your hamster is so cute! The only thing I recommend is instead of a dust bath they need a sand bath, u can use kids sand, or chinchilla sand..but DUST sand will make them sick!

[@zee6588]

When you eventually buy a bigger cage, please remember to put a lot of bedding in! Hamster need all that bedding to borrow in, and 3 inches of substrate is the BARE MINIMUM. You want to make sure to include more things that allows the hamster to indulge in activities it would do in the wild!

[@sezenakgun54]

Horchata is a beutiful name!❤

[@daisy1439]

Your new hamster is sooo cute and the tank is too ❤️❤️

[@libby8107]

Something enriching you could try for her is scatter feeding which will encourage foraging and it keeps her busy. Just randomly sprinkle food around her enclosure, maybe hide some so she has to dig for it and it engages her brain ❤️🐹

[@gianinagaribaldi9934]

Woah good idea! Ima do this for mine. Thanks !

[@teddy__109]

Hey just a quick tip for if you get a new hamster (because this one is probably already tamed by now), while your taming a hamster you can go on a dry bathtub and put a towel down and let your hamster walk/run around and get used to you! And I saw the comment you made about how your updating everything. I suggest you put at last 6 inches of bedding so your hamster can burrow. I know a bit about hamsters because I’m going to save up for one and I’ll buy it for summer break (because of school) so I don’t know everything and I’m definitely not an expert(i just watch a lot of videos about hamster care and I have done some research)! You are definitely doing really well for your first time having a hamster, your an amazing pet owner and I am so happy that you are fixing your tiny mistakes and that you new a lot. Have a great day, Bye!

[@anniledascencio7859]

The part where she separated the 2 hamsters melted my heart😭

[@meijin4714]

ikr sooo sad 😔😢🥺😭

[@bongus6405]

Hamsters are solitary animals and actually will fight to the death if kept together for too long. (Especially females) So dont be too sad lol!

[@baileyelaine]

I love how you took all the criticism and got a new cage, got rid of the ball, and got good sand! Btw another good cage cleaner you can make at home by just putting 50% water and 50% white vinegar in a spray bottle!

[@twice_mylife6330]

Very cute! But you have a lot more room on top so you can put more bedding because hamsters are burrowers so make sure to put more!

[@edenathena9834]

Got one today for my birthday lol

[@tpg1774]

Hello, i see you got a ball and those are actually dangerous for hamsters They cant stop and the slits for air can catch a hamsters leg or foot.

[@BlueDragon6662]

I love hamsters even though I don't have one myself,also u forgot the wheel 😊

[@BlueDragon6662]

Oh NVM 😅

[@0Katie0]

since you did get a robo hamster, THEY LOVE SAND! it’s adorable 🥰 but i would recommend making your sand bath bigger since they really need a lot of sand. and this video is a little old so you may have already done that but just wanted to let ya know! your robo is adorable(horchata is a amazing name 😍) you are a great hamster mama 😄

[@Jnf-yf5vr]

More bedding would help since hamsters love to dig 😁

[@LynneWatson-zv2tj]

Hi, i noticed the dust bath i 100% recommend getting rid of that and using a sand bath instead, the ball it can cause stress and then can lead to injuries also i love how she wants us to tell her things that should not be used for a hamster or even any other pet like a hamster

[@lovelois7866]

Heyy! I can tell you have done research but are one thing i’d like to touch on hamster balls aren’t safe they could get their feet stuck in and maybe broken . Tysm for doing your research and you hamster is adorable 🐹🥺❤️

[@sweetluvgurl]

No she hasn’t. A lot of what she got was wrong. lol The tank, the dust bath, the food, etc.

[@lovelois7866]

@@sweetluvgurl ik but you have to be respectful and kind for someone to improve on their hamster care because if your rude they will find it a threat and won’t change

[@livsvids5442]

Just trying to help - don’t use that ball for your hamster because they get extremely stressed out and it had extremely bad ventilation, make sure that your bedding is never scented, hamsters need a tank that is at least 40 gallons, use at least 8 inches of bedding and make sure to check what vegetables that you hamster can eat.

[@anonymousJK24]

no hamster balls please there little feet can get caught in the little slots and injure them it’s very bad. U need a WHEEL, and a bigger tank!! Hamsters run 5-12 miles at night!! That’s not enough space keep in mind the enclosure is her whole world!!LASTLY That is not enough bedding, hamsters need space to burrow!!

[@georgiarose2542]

Oh also I just wanna say sometimes hamsters can develop cage aggression when moved into a bigger cage, I don’t actually know a lot about it but I think once you decide to move him to a larger one to do some research on it so you know how to prevent it etc. :)

[@Mysticftw]

you forgot the wheel they need it to extersise and have energy

[@sophie_editz857]

She put the wheel in after she got the hammy. You did not see that

[@kcu98mjw]

I would recommend to scatter feed your Hamster and instead of just giving them pellets many get a seed mix with seeds and insects:everything else I love

[@littlehamham4251]

I would reccomend a bigger tank xxx

[@maylin4918]

Oh sorry I thought u didn’t get a wheel

[@chellewill8119]

Your first time pet owner squeals are so precious 🥰🥰

[@stinajilmefors3313]

The Cage is a little too small, even for a robo.

[@Alg3230]

I'm literally crying rn she reminds me so much of my hamster that died 😭😭😭

[@emilwassouf7115]

i recommend you to watch victoria reachel but i am happy you tried but sand dust or sand powder is not good i would buy chinchillas sand or childrens play sand they are 100 safe and a plastic hideout is not the best choice but you atleast tried to have al the things hamster need you could buy wood hideouts not plastic and you need to add at least 8 inches of bedding and the food is not good it have timothy hay that is not nedded in hamster food but i see you changed that that is good but youre hamster is so cute and i hope that helped im so proud of you for trying

[@Pytthlmazz]

This is probably the best hamster video I’ve watched besides Victoria ☺️

[@meaganray4202]

so adoraable🐹🐹

[@meaganray4202]

😍

[@adalynnsawyer4720]

her is so cute 🥰

[@matildavlogs2918]

fI would recommend getting a differnt hide because hamsters like to be in dark areas when sleeping, and the igloo you bought lets some light through.

[@brie4242]

Hi! I was wondering if you will add more bedding.Because hamsters burrow

[@Strawberriess4everr]

Hi Keiauna! I have a tip for your hamster(s)! So, I have a hamster, and I think where you keep your hamster in this video is completely fine, but I do have a recommendation on some cages. Hamsters love tunnels, and they need exercise stuff, like a wheel and a hanging toy. I’ve had multiple hamsters in the last years and they seem to like cages that have built in tunnels, wheels, and huts. I know you most likely won’t see this, but I hope you read it. 😊

Your hamster is like the cutest on Earth
