In my opinion if you had a pet and "mistreated it" when you were 12 that was not you being irresponsible. it was your parents being irresponsible for letting a 12 year old handle animals that shouldn't typically be handled by young children. i had a lot of guilt about a bunny accidentally strangling itself on a leash when I was 8 as i leashed it and left it unsupervised. it freaked out and hung itself. i was horrified and traumatised. and i only came to a realisation that my parents shdn't have bought a leash for a bunny in the first place. i still feel sad about it but now i know its not exactly my fault

Its really nice to hear that Even Victoria made mistakes of hamster care! I’ve had 5 hamsters when i was younger, and that lived in such a small cage and their wheels were way too small. Even one of my hamsters, Charlie got a swollen foot, and we had to put her down. But! I didn’t know better! I blame it on the pet shops where the hamsters are sold. These shops never had a really big cage that they sell. They ONLY sell small cages. I think it would be awesome if a hamster shop could follow all the rules for a nice hamster care. It would be such a nice idea if maybe they gave out a booklet to the new pet owners about how to do a nice hamster care. It’s really sad that all these hamsters have such a bad life. And I’m honestly ashamed of that I’ve done such a bad job taking care of my hamsters.

People need to understand that we've all started with mistakes. Petco and many other pet shops don't usually educate you on how to properly care for your pet. They tell you put it in this, feed it this, and it'll be just "fine". I adopted a gerbil from a rescue league who came with a plastic/bar cage. The only bedding she had was wood chips and her diet was some mixed fatty seeds. (That's all what she had with her when I adopted her) I started doing research and alot of it was actually FALSE. From the bedding to the size of the cage and it didn't even mention that plastic was bad for them!! The enclosure had a bunch of plastic accessories and that was the first thing I removed. The 2nd was the bathing dust.. I didn't change it to sand for a few weeks until I stumbled upon a video saying that bathing dust is really bad for their lungs. The 3rd was finally filling her cage with a bunch of Kaytee bedding and avoiding wood shavings. AND just recently I've finally made a bin cage for her, waaaay bigger than her other cage and she actually comes out of hiding when I pop open her lid to say hi. There's still alot more that I want to improve so that her life is as comfortable and fulfilled. TL;DR - no one is perfect. people make mistakes and we learn from them.

At the end of the day, there’s no such thing as a mistake-free pet owner. We’ve all had to grow and learn from our mistakes (my first reptile had a cage that was a fraction of what it needed and I was really bad at keeping the humidity at the right level). The important thing is to be open to learning and avoid shaming new/inexperienced pet owners and to stop pretending we were always perfect. I love your approach to pet care education, keep up the good work!

It's actually so good to hear I'm not the only one who made a lot of mistakes. My Syrian Hamster is living in an 40 gallon aquarium at the moment and although it's a bit too small and far from perfect I'm so fond of myself to at least give him a decent home. Unfortunately I really don't have the money to buy a bigger one but I'm planning to make him a large playpen as soon as I know how much money I get this month (coronavirus is cutting my salary)

@@localsadcowboy8721 This doesn't help in anyway 99% of the time. In fact, most ethical breeders encourage new owners not to do this nowadays. It's a very misinformed and outdated practice. Breeders put so much time into taming the babies and then when the new owners go and leave their new hamsters for days-weeks it just sets back the breeders hard work and the new owner wonders why the hamster isn't as comfortable with human interaction. With a young hamster, the more you handle it the tamer it will be and therefore easier to help when it requires health checks, nail clipping and treatments etc. Leaving the hamster isolated just makes them more fearful. If they're nervous on day 1 they will be just as nervous if not more nervous on day 7. If you do gentle handling and interaction from day 1 you will build up their confidence and trust sooner and if your hamster is from a reputable breeder it will maintain and build upon the work the breeder has done with socialising etc.

@@neeve2010 My hamster gave birth to 6 hamsters, I sold 5 of them. And the one that was left got so tamed, that whenever I put my hand in her cage, she is always up to go and greet me. Her name is Milka btw, and will be 5 months this month. I renember the starts when I tried to hold her for the first time, she peed in my hands. Then she started to bite a little, but not hard. Almost like test biting if it was worth to bite me, or not. And then when she grew up, she became an angel. tbh, Ive never had such a tammed hamster before. And the 5 other syrian baby hamsters we're also a bit tamed, so the customers had to have an easy job on taming them.

It so horrifying thinking in 2020 cages we used in 90's/00's are still a thing. My first cage around 20 years ago so triggering lol She was a rescue golden syrian hamster called Hammy. All of my hamsters been rescues/adopted. I remember reading they need bigger wheels so she actually had a rat wheel in a tall cage. I also remember reading about cotton bedding being bad. I remember wanting a critter trail style cage instead as I assumed these were better but pet store said not worth money. She actually got a nasal tumour no doubt from the pine shaves bedding! This was in like 1998-1999-2000 time You sound like me. I would buy cages/tanks for my birds and fish. Decide didn't like em. Get another. Decide didn't like em. haha Just done same. I had the Falco 80 from Zooplus for two gerbils. Haven't liked it since I got it so just purchased the Falco 100 from Zooplus instead.

Im 31 and have my first hamster and have been watching all these videos to learn how to make his life happy. It was an impulse buy from a pet store and I ran around gathering what the store sold other than those wire cages and got a large critter keeper. I dont think the store owner who sold me this hamster thought I was serious when I said this was a very temporary set up. My hamster within the first week was in an upgraded foldable catio play pen with a 6.5 inch wheel. Now 2 weeks into owning a dwarf hamster he has a 3 drawer dresser turned into enclosure with 13-16 inches bedding and 738 square inches of floor space. I got him etsy Hamster Eatery food and he loves it! Thanks to your videos I am able to do this right ❤

Hello!! I don’t know if you remember me ;-;. I’m the one who told you about the savage hamster pickles. I think that’s what I commented. Well here I am now! I have a new hamster. (Again) well the reason why I got him was gotta be um 😐. We were in the province (still now) and my mom picked up our laundry. Next to the laundry, was a pet shop! I think you all-ready know how this goes, my mom told me to see what kind of animals was in there, because it’s been a long time since I’ve visited it. We saw a lot of dwarf hamsters... then I looked in the corner to see two BOOtIfUl Syrian hamsters.... one was grey and white.. and the other one was a beautiful, kind of peachy white colour? The lady told us that the grey one was allready bought. And so we bought the other Syrian hamster... we got him/her everything it needs. The other funny thing was that the money we spent on caramel (the new family member òwó) was supposed to be gas for our car... so ye. The reason why i didn’t watch your videos and being consistent. Was because I haven’t had a hamster for a long timeeee. Caramel is a beautiful and healthy hammy :3 . Wow, I never realised how much I wrote ;-;

Just because other peoples care is worse and their fish are "still alive" doesn't mean the fish are happy or that it's okay for you to be lazy when taking care of them.

I'm so happy to see hamster care has come such a long way. I had hamsters between 1988 and 1994 and back then there was nothing on their care outside of trusting what the old man at the feed store would tell us, and he pushed the Habitrail plastic cages on us. I'm sad that Fuzzy, Bob and Frisk didn't have the appropriate space, but I'm really happy that now there is so much out there for people to research and see what these little furry friends need for proper care. I've only been randomly suggested your videos lately and haven't had hamsters in almost 30 years, but I appreciate your videos and your educational tips.
