My first hamster cage was small, and she was in a ball.i feel absolutely awful that she had to have that. Now, Pearl (winter white dwarf) has a 700 square inch cage with 9 inch bedding and lots of enrichment with a large wheel and tunnels!! All thanks to you and your advice!

[@pancakespets]

That's wonderful to hear! Don't feel bad about making mistakes with your first hamster, as you learnt from them. 🐹💕

[@Artnmak]

I used to have winter white named Pearl too lol

[@leah6250]

I love how you also talk about other species of hamsters. Often when I am looking at food mixes they are all designed for Syrians, and not dwarfs. This video really helped, thank you!

I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching! 🐹❤️

Hamsters should eat vegetables at least twice a week. If you enjoyed the video, please consider subscribing. Thanks!

[@Gundrophammy]

This is helpful! I didn’t know hamsters could eat egg whites and and all of those meats. I just checked the ingredients and nutrition facts of Gumdrop’s food and luckily her food is suitable. Also I recently gave her fresh veggies (a spinach leaf) for the first time and she loved it!😊

Very informative video! I loved the egg joke 5:23 😂

Thank you for the Tips! I get my food from Getzoo and Futterkrämerei. My hamsters love them. Love that you mentioned the natural habitats ❤

[@pancakespets]

Thank you! 🐹❤️

[@carriemiles937]

I give all my hamsters vegetables. Most vegetables have super low carbs such as greens, zucchini, cucumber. None of the hamster mixes are available in the US. There’s 1 company that has a dwarf only mix & a gerbil & hamster mix, but I the dwarf mix had a higher amount of alfalfa hay. Only 1 of my hamsters likes fly larvae & 3 of 4 like meal worms. They all love egg whites, chicken, & hamburger meat 😋

I recently ordered from Etsy for my hamster n he love the food so far

[@hisnamewasrocco]

Great and very informative video! I’m still accumulating things in my Amazon cart so I can be fully prepared before I get my hammy!

[@just_rxse041]

Thank you for telling me all about this, sadly my very first hamster passed away in February due to a sickness but I had a small cage, used a ball, brought him around dogs and sometimes cats, fed him pellets and foods that were not healthy for them. I regret everything. Rest in piece Ollie ❤

[@pancakespets]

I'm so sorry for your loss. RIP, Ollie 🕊️❤️

I use the chubby hamster cheeks seed mix on Etsy for my hammmyyyy

Etsy rocks man 👏🏾

Great video! Im planning to get a seed mix from etsy soon! At the pet store i saw a seed mix with pellets and in the pellets there were hay and im just like 😳 it was targeted towards hamsters- Miso Absolutely LOVES mealworms, its so cute seeing her eat them 🥰

[@pancakespets]

Thank you! That sounds great! 🐹💕

Yes u won’t be disappointed I just ordered from them as well n my hamster enjoy the dry mealworms

[@ameliathompson504]

I've never tried my hamster with grass Hopper's or cricket's so I will try them with her!

[@vogeltje407]

Thank you for these wonderful video’s! I was wondering how you made those little rolls with the mix stuck to them? Do you rol some cardboard in flour and water?

[@pancakespets]

I'm glad you liked it! For the forage rolls, you can combine plain flour or buckwheat flour with water to make a glue like consistency, then cover either cardboard or wood chews with it. Then, stick their food mix on and let it dry! 🐹💕

[@hamster_life_9028]

i am gonna try that as well rt now

[@starseedbri659]

Thank you so much!

[@mistyjocramer]

Good Vid… How do you make the liquid mix that you rolled the small piece in and then rolled it in seeds?

[@saturnshambles]

Hello! Just to clarify, the beginning of the video states that Syrian hamsters have a higher tolerance for wheat, rye, oats, and corn. Later in the video, Those things are listed as things you do not want in a food mix. If I am looking into getting a Syrian hamster, are those still things that shouldn't be in their food mix, or are they okay since they have a higher tolerance? Just trying to get as much info as possible!

[@Sadie.mae16]

Mk but why is pancake so cute when it eats

[@sophiechongjielin357]

Hi, may I ask where do you buy all your products for hamsters?

[@pancakespets]

Hi, here is the link to a video all about where I get my hamster supplies: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oauyppShdrRqjdU

[@CutnessOverl0de]

Which one is better Chubby cheeks hamster food or Robins hamster gorment food

[@pancakespets]

They are both great! 🐹💕

[@allykatt1908]

So I just got robins gourmet my black Syrian hamster loves it ❤

[@daffy5929]

I can't wait till I get my hamster

[@ohmymatchamia]

Hello! I hope my question gets answered😊 about campbell dwarf hamsters since they are prone to diabetes I’m not sure if I should buy Rodipet dwarf junior or Bunny dwarf dream expert hamster food because I noticed Rodipet has almost the same protein and fiber percentage with bunny dwarf except rodipet’s fat content is higher (10%) while bunny dwarf food mix fat % is just 6%. I also heard a few “coincidental” bad experiences with bunny dwarf like their hamster getting sick but got better after switching to a local hamster food mix although I heard a lot of good reviews saying bunny dwarf is a good hamster mix and I heard 1 saying it lacks variety (has 20+ food content) I want to provide the best for my campbell dwarf hamster but in my country the only nice hamster food being sold are Bunny Dwarf, Rodipet, and I guess Sunburst

[@hamster_life_9028]

aaaaand i am off to go make my ham a salad 😂

[@EggyHamster]

This was such a great video! I didn’t realize that dwarf hamsters don’t need to eat much vegetables. I feed my dwarf hamster 1 tsp of her food mix every other day, since that’s the amount of days it takes her to eat (almost) all of it. Does that sound okay? 😅 Somebody on my channel told me to feed her more.. so now I’m a bit paranoid. 🐹

[@pancakespets]

Thank you so much! Don't worry about it! That amount is fine to feed your dwarf 🐹💕

[@LennonPC]

What food mix do you feed her? I am looking to get a Roborovski Dwarf and i am trying to decide what mix to feed it.

[@Grace-d7t]

i have a duprasi and i cant find there macronutrients any where i don't know what to feed him he currently is of pet shop gerbil mix but he's so fussy he barely eats

[@Sebass0-0]

I have a question should i remove my hamsters wheel because he never uses it he just runs around his cage alot and has used it 2 times in the past 8 months?

[@pancakespets]

No, hamsters must have a wheel. They may not be running on the wheel, as it is too small. Make sure they have a solid, upright wheel, made of either plastic or cork. It should have a minimum diameter of 11 inches for Syrians, 8 inches for dwarfs. 🐹💕

[@Sebass0-0]

@@pancakespets it was a robo dwarf and I've tried different wheels but he barely uses them

[@deehyatt5173]

I’m so glad I found your channel ! I rescued five baby teddy bear hamsters and the dad😢 - getting them some dust for bathing, and real food !

[@isabella9745]

How i wishhh Philippines import stuff from getzoooo the only good mix i can get right now are bucastate hamster mix ( species specific) and bunny nature

[@lamdosomething9324]

Hey guy, my hamster is obese(old owner doesn't know how to take care of it) so now it has fatty eyes (eye pop out because of fat) so do u have any advice except go to vet

[@pancakespets]

They need to go to a vet. Please take them to a vet, and they will be able to help.

[@Charlotte-zl5dc]

Wait so only feed your hamster ounce a week some one please tell me 😮😅

[@pancakespets]

No, I didn't say that. You feed them about one tablespoon of food mix a day. Vegetables minimum twice a week, but you can feed them more often. 🐹💕

[@anna56796]

I tried giving my hamster mealworms but he just keeps smelling it and turning his head away🥲

[@pancakespets]

Yes, some hamsters are like that. Maybe try offering them live mealworms, or any of the other protein sources I mentioned 🐹💕

[@tbone69420]

can you feed them live fish?

[@pancakespets]

No, I don't think so 🐹💕

I asked for the time, not how to make the clock😂 thanks for the overload of information tho🎉
