Reacting to Hamster Mazes...

[@VictoriaRaechel]

Honestly don't understand channels like this, it's SO easy to make cute, safe videos with the potential to get lots of views and be popular. VanillaHamHam is such a good example as they create such adorable videos but none of their hamsters have ever been hurt nor do they put their hamster's safety at risk for a little video!

Whoever made that maze should be banned from owning animals. That hamster was so scared, the crabs were stressed, and the fish were kept in a space that was far too small for any aquatic animal to be in. Just a truly horrible thing to see.

Got that right horrific

[@kittenmimi5326]

@quack right? Even if temporary that's just... no. No way. But seeing the video they probably actually keep them like that. For hamster care, thanks to youtubers like Victoria it seems like people in general know about proper hamster care (I always see people complain in video comments if something seems dangerous, cage is too small etc) so that's great. But not that many people seem to jump at mistreating fish... for fish it seems like the misinformation was more widespread and only a few realize how complicated properly taking care of a fish is

This was so sad 😭 I watch this channel that does really low drops for the hamster. Its so low that the hamster drops it’s back legs in the hole and only half the body is covered ups and the best thing is they show how they build it and there is an artsy part of it and basic mechanics using gears and the moving portions or hand cranked so that you don’t hurt the animal. I was gonna look for that when I came across a channel that also did hamster mazes. It wasn’t as bad the ones in the video and didn’t include as many moving things but there were ax shaped bars that were moving so fact and the hamsters eyes were UNCOMFORTABLY close. That’s when I searched up if this was ok. So glad I came across the video to find im not the only one who hates this. Imma go back to my wholesome videos where they treat the hamster good.

[@Addi_Peaceclaw]

When the hamster gets squashed, stuck with its legs, it’s body, hips and more isn’t enough it gets crushed and thrown down into a ball pit and while it’s struggling for its life trying to get up, it is being repeatedly smacked down. Literally in tears

[@sallyblue417]

@Ape listen I don’t know why you think it’s okay to mock taking care of a life. It shouldn’t matter how big or small something is. I won’t waste too much of my time, but jerks like you, commenting on a video talking about the safety and wellness of a creature just because you don’t feel the same was is pitiful. Anyone reading this comment, thinking just because you are bigger than another animal makes you superior on any account, please make your way to a therapist and get some help. Just don’t get a hamster, and stop trying to convince people to not properly take care of a life just because it isn’t as big. Who are you, to feed these ideas to children (and adults) who are trying to better themselves? Why are you here trying to convince someone to not pay attention to their hamsters? You don’t have to feel the same, but spreading stupid, idiotic ideas to kids and adults is terrible. Adults will most likely see through the sham, but kids have uncooked minds and feed of your negativity. We, as a community, need to stop these commenters so kids don’t grow up to be jerks like you.

[@d4llas345]

and also, it’s really obvious that the hamster is not liking this, especially at 4:17, you could see the hamster was pushed down a lot faster than it was going, also completely ignoring that is quite a small tube for your hamster size (imo, sorry if it’s the right size) and it’s going a lot slower than usual so to be pushed down that could cause some injuries possibly, along with all the other things that are really dangerous for hamsters, also the WATER CONTRAPTION at 6:40!

[@happyfurhammies6539]

True .

[@fawnwish4092]

I think those fish were going through worse - those were a species of tropical freshwater fish known as Mollies. That "tank" was so small that they could hardly move, and in addition to that, there was no heater in sight, which meant that they were probably freezing to death. If this person doesn't even know to enough about fish to give them a heater, then the water was probably untreated too, which means they would also be dying due to having to live in tap water which is full of chemicals which can damage their insides. Also the fish in the robot was experiencing so much stress from the shaking and confined space, it has probably died from stress by now. Oh ma gawd

[@d4llas345]

All these videos show is just how heartless you are for a little bit of money. Animals need more love, it was be even sadder if these hamsters were from a rescue centre considering most animals from a rescue centre have been neglected and saved.

[@CastroyPlaysFuncraft]

Wow the irony is lost on you isn’t it? You are literally repeating the same reasoning over and over again as if it somehow makes you right. While berating others for “having no argument” Spoiler alert, it doesn’t make you right. So hows about I give you some education. However, I first want to acknowledge your argument, because I’d be little better than you if I didn’t. Yes it’s obvious that the owner controlled all of the robots, and spinning machines, and even the platforms. Given the lack of a railing system, it seems their devices were controlled with magnets and remote controls, while others were controlled completely by hand like the black and white gears. However, that doesn’t mean this isn’t dangerous. I’ll start by quoting petMD: “ Fractures, more commonly known as broken bones, are actually quite common in hamsters. They mainly occur due to accidents such as improper handling of the animal or when a hamster tries to dislodge its leg from the cage's wire mesh or exercise wheel.” Every time that hamster got its leg stuck, it was at risk of fracturing it. Every time the hamster slipped or fell it risked fracturing it. Hamsters are insanely fragile creatures, who can barely handle the forces they put on their own bodies if they get stuck. To put this into perspective, if you were proportionally as fragile as a hamster , You could shatter your wrist trying to pull a 20 pound object out of a hole it’s lodged in. Hamsters are note mechanically built to lift and stretch like that. Their bodies aren’t meant to handle torque like that, they’re meant to burrow in soft dirt. Now another thing I’d like to point out. Those crabs were most certainly real. They moved organically, they moved at the same time as the hamster, and short of some editing magic, they were most certainly alive. They looked a bit like common European Shore Crabs. If the hamster were pinched by this, it could be killed or lose a limb. Crabs can hurt us for christ sake, imagine what they’d do to a hamster! Now lets assume you’re right and say the crabs were animated and “carton” how in the hell is the hamster supposed to know they aren’t real or alive? Like heres the thing, even if we assume the hamster wasn’t in any physical danger at all because the course was staged, the hamster still doesn’t know whats going on. The cardboard fish things, and the cardboard snake may as well have been genuine threats. We are talking about a small rodent that is about as smart as a baby at best, faced with a big moving object moving towards it with teeth gnashing at it. That hamster was stressed. Like very terribly stressed, probably scared for it’s life. Because it can’t know whats going on, and its surrounded by moving objects and pointy things. The kind of stress that hamster probably felt would be comparable to you or I dropping into silent hill. Also if things like the fish were RV controlled that would mean things like the sounds of motors would be present which could stress a hamster. So it’d be more like if I dropped you into Silent hill and giant green hard shelled crabs were laying around snapping at you while you were also being chased by killer robots, as the sound of a fire alarm was constantly whirring in the background. So regardless of whether or not the hamster was actually in danger (which it very probably was) it definitely felt like it was in danger. So no matter how you cut this, this doesn’t look good for DIY Hamster Maze. Its blatant psychological animal abuse at best, and physical abuse at worst, editing tricks not considered. Also I think the word you are trying to say is “cartoon” unless the place is built out of some material called carton, or that’s the name of some kind of editing technique. Also I’m not entirely certain the fish were real, but the hamster and the course it was in most certainly were. No matter what you say, this man stressed the hell out of his hamster, and that’s not okay. To prove me wrong, you’d have to prove that either the hamster or course didn’t actually exist. End of story.

@@unicornprincess1378 I agree with your point but I definitely don’t believe it’s your hamster shown in the video. I’m not saying this to be dramatic and rude or anything but it’s just to make a point those hamsters don’t get taken away from terrible owners but have to suffer.

[@margalothegreat_hams]

Same, I liked these videos. Thankfully I didn't like the ones with the crabs or the hamsters getting hurt, but I did like the ones with the styrofoam balls and the trap things that I didn't know were stressful to the hamster. Then I got a hamster (poor thing had to live in a tiny cage for more than a month, so glad that I got it from a rescue not a pet store), and started watching her videos and realized "Oh my gosh, these people are abusing their hamsters this should not be allowed". Now, thanks to Victoria, my hamster is having a good life in a bin cage eating sunflower seeds in his deep burrow. She definitely should be called the Hamster Queen!

It is an algorithm hack.

[@HeatherGermaine]

SimiTV I believe is a good person to watch for safe hamster mazes, he always designs them super carefully and always warns his viewers not to do this with their own hamsters. He lets his viewers know that he monitors the hamsters, lets them do everything on their own time (he never rushes them), and makes sure they don't stress out and throws plenty of healthy treats throughout his mazes for them :) His videos are very fun to watch!

The thing that bothers me is that you know because of all the multiple camera angles and jump cuts that these are probably done in multiple takes. The hamster doesn't just run through it once and everyone celebrates. You just know that the hamster probably fell or "failed" some of these traps and the "owner" probably said, "That's not a good take" and resets the hamster like a toy. This poor hamster was flung, squished, shaken, beaten, and was probably exhausted after all of it.

[@NamiNuitsuki]

To anyone okay with this, put yourselves in these animals' shoes! The poor hamster (and crabs and fish) does not understand that this is a game for "fun". All it knows is that it's in a small, uncomfortable enclosure and must get out and is constantly hurdled with very scary obstacles and heights. Add to that that hamsters are very small and fear affects them in negative ways even more than humans because of their little bodies. Please, think about how your hamsters feel when put in these situations. Please, if you want a hamster maze, make one that is one, maybe two, levels, low to the ground and easy for the hamster to maneuver without constantly being caught in these awful torture machines. You can even decorate it like this person did without making it as harmful. Add treats for them to find and make it easy for them to leave whenever they'd like so they don't feel trapped. You can make a maze that is fun for both you and your hamster. You don't have to sacrifice your hamster's enjoyment just so you can laugh at them being caught in spinning wheels of death.
