Reacting To My Own Bad Hamster Care! || 1000th Video Special

[@chrissycousineau9932]

Please make this a series!! I think it is a really positive message to pet owners that it’s okay and normal to make mistakes but learning from them and improving your pet care is important!! Love this!! We’ve all made mistakes and are leaning from them. Even I did months of research before getting my first hamster and I still made mistakes. Learning and doing better is what matters.

[@lillivioletgirl]

thanks for saying this, i have felt so bad for the mistakes i have made but i always try to correct them xx

[@chrissycousineau9932]

RinaPageTurner we all make mistakes!!! Don’t feel bad, just learn from it and do better :) good luck! 🐹

Oof there’s not *that* many

[@buuck_6517]

I had loads of mistakes too, not enough bedding, scented sand, scented bedding, no wheel, and many more.

[@maemarbles3786]

i sometimes lift my hamster's hide because i have a crippling anxiety that he's dead, but 99.9% of the time it doesn't even wake him up because he builds a *thicc* wall of bedding lmao

[@fodder010]

SAME. i tWeAk if my hamster doesnt come out to investigate why the cage is being opened. especially if its 8-9pm when shes usually running on her wheel. i just sadly rip the roof off of her to find her giving me a stink eye and i just feel horrible afterwards.

[@bluephoenix4936]

mae marbles same but most of the time when I lift the hide up he is not even asleep he is just laying down btw my mouses name is Cole and I know this was posted a year ago but I don’t care

[@oopoop4299]

you really should not do that. just move the bedding around a little bit

Omg same I make videos unlisted/private if I no longer agree with information in them. Fortunately since my channel is newer that doesn’t happen often but I have a lot of videos I’m not proud of in terms of quality LOL. A huge part of being a pet keeper is acknowledging our mistakes. So I love that you posted this!

[@kittcat1231]

I love this idea for a video. You can send a message that it's okay not to be perfect but it's always worth trying to be better! You also get to talk about things that people can improve on without having to hate on anyone 😄

[@cherrybraces]

I think making this a series is a great idea! I think I personally could learn a lot by hearing what is wrong in a situation, that’s not super obvious to someone without years of experience, and how to make it better 😊

[@lucasiega5399]

3:47 when you said “okay she was obese” THAT SENT ME

[@ashwinter3454]

I feel like this video helped a lot with education because you call out very common mistakes that people make when you start out with hamsters, which is great because others will learn early!

I’ve had my first hammie he was a Syrian his name was buttons I loved him he was a wild hamster for sure he passed away on 15th January 2021 I got him a day after my birthday but I really wish my parent would listen to correct care but mistakes show as we grow as long as you fix or try to fix it be proud as long as you gave love ❤️💕^👄 v

I’m sure we’ve all made mistakes of various degree. My first hamster was in a critter trail, because I researched everything but cage size. All we can do is move forward. Give your current pets the best possible life and more than what you’re supposed to and it won’t fix what happened, but it’ll encourage others to do the best.

[@vanillapinkfluff3477]

Basic Bedard Yeah that's right. We probably all did horrible things in the past but just give your current Animals way better care and forget the past.

[@InfallibleGrace]

I love seeing hamster KZbinrs go through their old bad care lol because people love to make it seem like they make them self seem perfect & know it alls & no, it takes making many mistakes to LEARN & then share what you Learn with others !

[@danniefarrington]

I’m really touched by your honesty. I’ve owned many small pets and I have made mistakes as I’m sure many other people have and it’s ‘nice’ if that’s the right word, to see that PetTubers themselves have made mistakes and are honest about it. I’ve always thought that PetTubers are so perfect and that they’ve never done anything wrong and it always made me assume they’ve never made mistakes. Thank you for showing us this. It’s given the audience a way more realistic side of owning pets and that no one is perfect. As long as people correct their mistakes then it’s fine ❤️

[@missykim510]

Ah Erin, you are far too hard on yourself. New pet owners always make mistakes, it's part of learning.

[@SomethingAnimal]

I don't think I'm being too hard, although hamster YT channels didn't really exist back then I still had access to a wealth of information on forums and by this point I'd been keeping hamsters for over 6 months. I really had no excuse for my ignorance.

[@puffinlia2449]

Hi, this is kind of off topic, but one time at my school, some kids were watching America’s Got Talent videos, and the robo hamster in my class came out of her hideout, and sat in her food bowl to watch it too, and I know she was watching it, because after the video was over, she went back into her hideout.

[@femijnbas7208]

Ah the “I was a horrible animal mom” thro back. I’m still so so ashamed of how I cared for my animals when I was a kid, my first hamster was in a tiny plastic aquarium. Like 10cm by 30cm, after my first hamster died my second hamster also lived in there until my uncle lost her well watching her. I was 5 wen I got my first hamster and it was before internet, I sadly couldn’t know any better. Don’t be so hard on your self, you improve so much and that’s what’s it all about 😁

[@laikaaardwolf3177]

This video came out a long time ago but, boy do I relate. My first pet that I got in 3rd grade was a parakeet. If you don't know anything about birds let me tell you- parrots and yes, even parakeets, need SO much space, and time, and insane amounts of enrichment. Safe to say small child me did not provide those things, and I literally have nightmares about her...

[@sachikawaii]

I remember when I was younger and I was stupid I once pullled the roof of my hammys house and she properly hissed at me so I mean it knocked a bit of sense into me

[@joleen931]

Oh whoops I take the house from the hamsters all the time. I’m gonna stop now

[@BedardJ]

Good for changing! If I need to get my mouse up for whatever reason, I usually just rustle the bedding gently around the hut, or move the cage around a bit so he wakes up. I’d only pull the hide off if I expected an emergency I.e. so blood, or unusually tuffs or maybe something I’m not thinking of, but so far that’s never happened!

[@paperpenn9923]

Same! I've heard it's bad so I don't with my hamsters anymore. But I feel bad, I do with my mice.

[@Iamaguienapig]

It’s absolutely brilliant to see how much you’ve grown in your knowledge. 😘

[@bellalouise5126]

Not many videos make me laugh out loud but yours did!!! Your commentary is HILARIOUS. Subscribed :)

[@eriathwen1320]

Such a great idea for a video, reflecting on mistakes or admitting to them is something people try not to do but it is so important to learn and grow from this sort of thing. Every pet owner should be doing this in order to continue improving our care.

[@Wayhoo]

We learn from mistakes 💗

[@chloebryant1051]

Just when I didn’t think I could love you anymore - I find this 😍 Perfect example of humility and the ability to laugh at one’s self! It’s amazing to see how far you actually came, you didn’t start of perfect!? 😅🌸

[@Dra9ontail2]

Seeing your mistakes doesn't outweigh the TONS of expert information you give on this channel. This video was actually very helpful to see that we grow as hamster owners. You did your best at the time. I'd like to see more of your old videos. I've followed your channel for years and today is a very big day for me. In a few hours I'm getting my very first hamster. A female robo! I'm so excited!

Yaaaaay 1000!!! This video was fun haha. Love your videos 😊😊😊

[@rebeccajesse4604]

what a great idea for a video! When I first started watching your videos I went back and watched some of your old ones (not 2011 ones but older) and was surprised by how much your channel has changed. It has been great to see you grow in confidence and in your animal care! And I think we all cringe at our teenage selves...you are brave to face that head on!

[@sofiasartstudios6618]

Happy 1000th video Erin!! That is an absolutely mind-blowing achievement. Well done! I would love more of these videos: it was really fun to watch, and I think it is cool to see where you started, so you can really realise how far you've come! Have a lovely day! :D

[@user-ft6ex1ww8o]

Oh, Erin.. I was just as bad and that was only about 8 months ago unfortunately, I've watched more videos and read more stuff so now I'm not torturing my mice. I did the exact same thing of lifting the den. I have to mention I am 11, not 17 though. I believe our old cage was too small- The one I have now isn't huge either. I'm always freaking out when I see your massive cage with so many toys? I don't have a lot of toys because they don't fit in there. After watching some more cage tours I'm going to visit the pet store... I only have a den, a water bottle, a food bowl, 2 toilet paper rolls downstairs (their den, food bowl and wheel are on these cage bars that are higher up, the den is filled with cotton) and then I have a bunch of these bird toys that hang from the top. Oh, and a mineral stone. I recently added an empty egg cardboard box in there. They love it. But still, I don't have your huge toys and I really wish they would fit in there oh my gosh.. I don't think I can even bury any secret dens in there. I'm surprised my mice aren't dead out of boredom. Edit: I completely forgot this tube made out of cardboard with grass or hay or something on it so they love to chew on that..

[@SheWolfiie]

This is a great example of learning and growing, thanks for sharing

[@carolynmcmillan7083]

Huge congratulations on your 1000th video. I have learned so much from you so I’d like to thank you lots.

[@kss9548]

I've never had hamsters but going back to when I had my first rabbit, boy I knew nothing! I sure did learn so much. I think this video shared that even the best of people have to start somewhere! :) absolutely love your hamsters and you 😊

[@joannascipioni8360]

The hamster heaven is actually a really bad cage. It's mostly dead floor space, and you have to over crowd them to get everything they need in there and it's kinda shallow

[@canaicrew11]

Everybody make mistake, mistake is not bad, that how u learn and move forward

[@atherakram]

So um yeah story time :my hamsters used to live together one was male and one was female ;// I had no babies and they all lived in a tiny critter trail with TWO floors and one was Campbell Russian dwarf And one was the winter white hybrid and they fought a lot and MY STUPID self FINALLY got them bin cages That are bigger then the bare minimum of 450 and know they live separate and a long time ago one day after they got Separated I thought “ohhh they must miss each other”even though I separated them because they fought and guess what they fought like crazy and they have never seen each other since man the stupidness level I had was 💯% luckily I got them separated in less then a month and no serious injuries happened thank god they are doing good :))

[@amandahyre8613]

Oh you had me rolling with your critiques of old you. 😂 You have definitely learned so much since these videos.

I need to stop peeking under my hamsters house lol. They’ve given me anxiety issues with their escaping antics so if I don’t hear them running in the morning I always peek under and check they are ok before I go to work 😂.

Thank you for your video! I’m kind of a new hamster owner, had one when I was a little kid but that was at least 20 years ago soo...and me and my boyfriend just got an Syrian hamster and we already know that his cage is to small so we are gonna buy him a bigger one when we can. And you just learned me something, we have noticed that he stopped use his house and now I know why, we don’t let him be alone in there, we often wake him up in there and takes his house away. 😨😨 omg, I feel soo bad! So we finna get him a new house tomorrow (like a new start) 😂 and in that house, we gonna leave him alone. I’m gonna keep watch your videos!
