My Hamsters got MITES | How I'm getting RID of them 😣🧼

[@paradisemeditations]

Thank you for sharing your experience with Wren and Bear's mite infestation. My own hamster went through a similar ordeal recently, and I found your video incredibly informative and helpful, especially since my vet wasn't as knowledgeable about hamster care. I have learned so much from your tips and advice, and I truly appreciate the effort you've put into documenting your journey. Wishing Wren and Bear a speedy recovery! 🐹💕

[@CherylHarrison-ot8qh]

Very useful advice, clearly explained.

[@DotoriVillage-]

Ahh cage infestations are the worst. Just had my first bug infestation, too. I freeze everything as well but sometimes it just happens. You did an awesome job with cleaning though. Wishing you luck in not seeing mites again!

[@TheHamsterRoom]

Thank you!

[@littlemidwestrebornsdolls]

I'm so sorry that you got mites! 😬 That had to be awful. You did a good job cleaning everything and getting your hamsters to the vet. I hope all is well now. 🐹

[@chloeh7954]

Bless you, how stressful this must have been! Thank you for being so helpful in the video though, I’m taking away a lot of advice for when I’m ordering things for my Ham. Hope wren and bear are okay!

[@TheHamsterRoom]

Thank you so much!

[@nicolaballantyne5825]

Oh no! That must be so frustrating n worrying for you!! 😩 If there's anyone hammies you wouldn't expect that to happen to, it would be yours!! You're doing so well in removing all those horrible mites 😖 thanx so much for sharing n making us aware ♥️♥️🐹

[@TheHamsterRoom]

Omg making the mesh on top is the worst!! I never have the patience to do that. But it's the best solution when you have to deal with mites

[@bryanharp5067]

I’m so sorry! I hope Bear and Wren get better!❤

[@POTATOBEAN.]

Oh no! I hope everything gets better! ❤

[@rebeccarose4507]

Oh no what a nightmare!!! I was so gutted for you having to throw out all the substrate and sprays 😫 hope you get rid of the pesky critters!!!

[@TheHamsterRoom]

Thank you!

About the bin cage, if you can find a 189L storage bin, that’s probably the best you can find out there, it’s larger

[@mareieli]

Had the same problem a few weeks ago. I did the same things you just did and it worked!💪🏻 They came from the soil of some 'rodent grass' I bought. Fortunatley for my hamster, these kind of mites don't live in the fur; just in soil/ moist areas.

[@elizabethduffield2624]

I've just treated my ham Bob for mites today. He's in a temp bin cage and I've just gutted everything and used the kleen green spray like you and chucked boiled water over the cage stuff. Praying it's enough to get rid along with ivermectin 🤞thanks for the informative video 😊

[@TheHamsterRoom]

Aww I hope everything works out!

[@RinnsHamsterCorner]

This is absolutely terrible, so sorry that this happened to you and the hamsters 😢 I hope it all goes well

[@katieteage6571]

Ah you poor thing! This is so helpful. I hope it all works fast for you xx

[@xerqette]

Noooo, the worstt :c I hope wren and bear are mite free and comfy forever

[@TheHamsterRoom]

Thank you🐹

[@shellym79]

I found it easier to cut my bin lid while it was on the bin. It held sturdy for me. 💚

[@LaunchofEarth]

Ok seeing this just traumatized me I really hope I don't get mites!😨

[@TheHamsterRoom]

Hopefully not🤞

[@videoettaceo8900]

My mouse got mites. I took him to the vet and he got a dose of Ivermectin which cured the problem. Cost me 200 USD and it was worth every penny.

[@monika7731]

Thank you for sharing. Spine chill as we have coconut soil for my daughter's hammies😬green kleen on order in case.👍hope that'll stop them and end this chapter.your hammies done well taking the meds

[@ME-world-1]

I'm so sorry but you deal with all that amizing!

[@danacoopman]

Thanks for this video cuz right after i watchted this i found out i have mites 😭

[@TheHamsterRoom]

Aw no!! Good luck

[@danacoopman]

@@TheHamsterRoom thank you 😭

[@Liaballetcountry]

Thank you , for sharing how to eliminate them ❤

[@olga0297]

I’m glad you’re solving the problem!! I would like to ask if mites can be seen “normally” or if you need to use your phones cameras zoom or anything like that. And also, which brand of soil coconut had those mites? Now I’m scared 😅

[@TheHamsterRoom]

Thank you! They are very small so I used my phone's torch but they are visible. I used a bag of eco earth

[@olga0297]

@@TheHamsterRoom thanks for asking! so are visible at naked eye?

[@Avonhung]

I'm sorry about what happened to wren and Robin and hopefully they get better, also for the diy hide you made can you sanitize it? or do you just have to chuck it same thing goes for the cardboard items

[@TheHamsterRoom]

Thank you! I threw away any cardboard items

[@xtashnpetsx]

I had a weevil infestation once when I had 3 hamsters It was horrible seeing the hamsters in such basic set ups But we managed to get rid of the bugs so … BONUS 😊

[@KRHamstery]

So sorry this happened looks so frustrating to have to do all this (even tho it’s necessary) 😢

[@tiadarragbi9318]

We just got our first hamster, Cookie 5 days ago from a local pet shop and noticed mites in his home when cleaning it out. I can't believe it! They said hamsters are flea treated when they come in and that he was there for 2 weeks before we got him. Well where could the mites have come from then? Everything is brand new and fresh. Watching this video was helpful but omg what a hassle! I called the pet shop and they said they will give me flea treatment for free. Will Cookie still need to see a vet? And do fleas stay on our clothes too? How do we wash our clothes differently?

[@TheHamsterRoom]

I'm so sorry to hear that! Mites can come from any hamster item that hasn't been baked/frozen (depending on the item) before using. Yes, take him to the exotic vets so they can identify the mites and give the correct treatment, as fleas and mites are different. I wouldn't personally take any medication from the pet shop as they aren't vets. It really is an annoying process to deal with mites, I hope it all goes well for you❤️

[@HamsterPlayroom]

I love my hamster❤

[@paradisemeditations]

I feel the same way about my hamster. I have had many different pets from rabbits to chipmunks but hamsters will always be my favourite pet!🐹

[@Orange-bl9iu]

Hi can you cook the wood and reuse it?

[@TheHamsterRoom]

Yes you can bake it in the oven on a low temperature

[@roisincullagh6019]

I’m so scared my hamster will get them

[@Kade_Katz]

I hope they are okay, also do you have any tips about hamsters bc I’m going to ask my mom if I can get one❤❤

[@TheHamsterRoom]

Thank you! I have a playlist with all my videos on hamster care kzbin.info/aero/PLUIEduXM-61_7xrjmItsNJA0FeYuPsJP7&si=LgJquzYZPx94hHxy

[@푸들마우스]

😮😮❤❤

[@erinelephantz]

Will you be using coconut fiber again? I JUST got some yesterday for my hamster and I didn’t know you’re supposed to freeze them??? Now I’m scared 😭😅

[@TheHamsterRoom]

@@erinelephantz The best way to prepare coconut soil if it's already loose is to bake it in the oven at a low temperature, that's more effective than freezing so if you do that hopefully you won't get mites🤞I've never had an issue with coconut soil before and mites can come from almost anything so I wouldn't worry too much about coconut soil specifically, as long as you bake/freeze things before using them, you should be ok

[@akameleone7394]

Does sand and bedding need to be frozen, too? I get big bags of paper bedding and I don’t think it’ll fit in my freezer.

[@TheHamsterRoom]

I believe sand can be baked in the oven. I don't think it would be possible to freeze bedding unfortunately!

[@GraciesLifeWithPets]

Can mites kill hamsters? (They can kill guinea pigs)

[@TheHamsterRoom]

Potentially if it's left untreated for a long time

[@GG-kn2se]

What type of mites are those? Anybody know?

[@TheHamsterRoom]

They could be spider mites as they made webs under Bear's coconut soil dig box

[@Louischillin]

guys,can we get rid of hamster without going to vet( because I can't)

[@TheHamsterRoom]

@@Louischillin If your hamster has mites they will need to be taken to an exotic vet for treatment, as it can cause them pain and hair loss.

[@Louischillin]

@@TheHamsterRoom Can I do all of things you did in the video except going to vet and still can get rid of it?

[@TheHamsterRoom]

@@Louischillin Potentially, however there could be mites you can't see on your hamster which means they need treating

[@MB-pc3kp]

@@TheHamsterRoom For Syrians there is an over the counter treatment on amazon - my vet recommended it to me after a consultation since they were out of stock of the usual treatment and it worked for my hamster but I know it's still a bit risky since ideally the hamster needs to be seen by the vet so they can give a full check-up
