Rescued 2 Syrian Hamsters from Small Cage! | Munchie's Place

Imagine what the guinea pigs were thinking. Hamster:🥷 Guinea pigs: 🤯

[@ItzNotSoCreativeKyleigh]

Lol

[@sunnevacarat]

I live in Iceland and I am a mod of a hamster group on Facebook and the amount of clueless people is insane. Just yesterday someone said that their tiny cage was fine “because her hamster lived in it and loved passed two years”. A lot of people just don’t care at all, they don’t care about these tiny animals as much as they care about pets like dogs or cats

[@fergarza4032]

I am mod in a parrot Facebook group and I understand your frustration. The amount of time that I hear annoying Karens going "my parrot was fine, I was amazing with him, he lived 10-15 years" when the poor species normally lives 50+ years. I hate people.

[@indigoeye3874]

I hate when people say 'my pet loves his cage' in reviews or on social media, most commonly with pictures of absolutely terrible, inappropriate set ups.. How can you possibly know they like it???

[@breannedixon9712]

@@fergarza4032 my mom adores guinea pugs and takes some rescues in and we hear this all of the time too We had one guy who kept his pigs in a cardboard box with nothing in it but a water and food bowl He had the audacity to complain about the digging noises, and complained that the guinea pig bit him, and was a spaz He was then genuinely shocked when he met the pig my mom takes everywhere. Like .. I wonder why you’re pig hates you lol

[@madamemaya]

Laughing over Cruella. What a character! I love her.

She is a female Houdini....

[@maryssahamilton7914]

We just rescued two enormous male Syrians off Craigslist. They were kept together in a five gallon tank on half an inch of pine bedding, crappy Walmart food, no hides, no wheel, no enrichment, and an empty water bowl. People need to do their research before getting a pet.

[@claudiakarl2702]

Our local pet store (Zooplus, Germany) also sells hamsters. But they keep them separately in glass tanks with quite an amount of bedding and enrichment. Mostly you don’t see them during the day. And they only sell them after 6.30 pm because of the natural rhythm of hamsters. I know that buying hamsters in a pet store is not ideal, but at least their living conditions are not too bad.

[@jennikrbez6893]

Really how amazing I would love to see a small animal shop in Germany

[@RachelGotHamsters]

Wow! That is so amazing! If anyone is Germany would take a video of this, I’d love to see it! What a good role model for us in the US!

[@sarasthoughts]

Zooplus is a great chain! Not really local lol they also sell in Italy and they're a great source of good hamster stuff

[@LucretiaLugosi]

Honestly I don't think the pet store conditions are the problem. The issue is where the hamsters/pets in general come from, all those terrible breeding mills with zero regard to genetics or the animals, keeping them in groups of tens, twenties,... boxed up in rack systems in a rectangular stone house somewhere out at the borders...

[@jennyjustjenny7634]

Yesterday I was in a Fressnapf XL cause I was searching for a tunnelhide for my hamster. Turns out they actually increased the room of the hamsters, better cages, more bedding, only one hamster per cage.. but the downside is, that they're still not very clean. There was a thick coat of urine and poop on the wheels (at least it was the 28cm wood and cork wheel for all rodents). But it's changing and I'm very happy that the pressure from good pet owners is so big. Even the toys were better, there was not a single plastic food bowl in sight, no plastic hides.. But they still sell bad cages. So.. not everything is great in Germany, but at least better than in the USA. 👍 I've never been in a Zooplus but it sounds like it's worth to search for new hides there. :)

[@somebvnny]

my dad is one of those folks that'll see the hamsters in the pet store housed together and think its ok. I can imagine it... I tell him they _can't_ live together and he, in a matter-of-fact way, will say, "why not? the pet store keeps them together."

[@bubblerose292]

My mom likes to do the same thing except she KNOWS BETTER she simply doesn't care

[@flowercat9883]

My first ever hamster was called Emma too, she was a rescue. Even tho she bite a lot, i think she was grateful, to get a great home for the short time she lived

[@stephanieevans5187]

I have purchased hamsters at petsmart I will never do it again. I saw them in a tiny tank, back bending on the tiny wheel. One wheel ended up falling on a hammie in the glass thing, It took awhile for an employee to come over. I couldn't handle it, it got so bad that I couldn't sleep without thinking about them. recently I rescued 2 syitrans ( separate adds and in separate enclosures) it was so fun to see them explore their new found space. Thank you Munchie!!!

[@tfolmer30]

I had a hamster when I was a kid, I had it in a critter trail cage thought it was the coolest thing. Years down the road I saw so many different KZbin videos showing off their huge tanks and all the proper care, I'm so happy to see so many people online sharing how to properly give hamsters an ideal living situations they shouldn't be a throw away animal. I currently have a long hair Syrian, she's in a tank and she's about to go into a hamster bin to give her even more room to move. Thank you for all your information for people to learn from.

[@mollyo6689]

I reached out to this ad and was going to take them in but they had already found a home! So cute, poor babies!

[@halletasticc]

you are truly a gem. i just wanted you to know that, through watching these videos, i have learned so much. today i rescued a beautiful little syrian hamster from craigslist and i look forward to giving her a great life thanks to all the information you include in these videos. thanks for being you and doing all the amazing work you do 🌸

[@zero17500]

Here in my town, In America, We have a pet store called pet place. They ethically breed hamsters, mice, Rats, And guinea pigs. Both of my pigs came from there, Mango and Nova. At first I had Mango, Not knowing they had to be in pairs. Now I'm getting Nova on the 27th, And I'm so happy. My care has evolved so much.

[@catherinerogers8558]

wow, it seems like they're way better than most pet stores. of course still not the best, since they didn't seem to feel the need to tell you that guinea pigs are social -_- still, a step in the right direction

[@kayteelizz]

Thanks to all the educators here on KZbin about proper hamster care I vowed to never purchase a hamster from a store! My new little one is coming from an ethical breeder and the sad thing is that there are so few of them here in the US. I will have to drive 12 hours round trip to pick up my new hamster but it will totally be worth it. The ethical breeders are really doing something great for the species. I hope to see more of them in the future so that purchasing an ethically breed hamster is more accessible to everyone.

[@KasaisfireZarasmagic]

Is it weird that the sound of my hamster running on her wheel soothes me to sleep every night. She has a niteangel wheel. The sound of her little feet thumping is like a lullaby to me. I tell her every night to run my to sleep.

[@RachelGotHamsters]

Hehe I feel the same way! I love the sound of their ting noises 😊

[@KasaisfireZarasmagic]

@@RachelGotHamsters It just so cute sounding and has the best rhythm. Love it better then she she decided to chew on her tanks plastic even after i pushed all the chew toys she has into her paws

[@RachelGotHamsters]

@@KasaisfireZarasmagic eek oh no! Have you tried whimzees?

[@KasaisfireZarasmagic]

Yes. I've handed her one she takes it to the best comes back to go after the plastic at the top. She also had apple wood sticks two wood shapes and a very long wooden stick she can't carry well. The stick is for when she had to chew but can't find another toy. Oh and she has a dumbbell chew and her hides are all wood and chewable. Plus she gets daily treats and my cat plays with her when she wants him to from the to of the cage. She'll reach up and poke his beans with her paws when he sits up there. I know it can't be boredom. At least I don't think. If she wants attention she'll monkey bar the top until either I answer her or the cat does. She's in a glass tank neutral top 40 gal breeder

[@indigoeye3874]

The first two weeks I had my two robos, I got little to no sleep (though not just because of the wheel, the sound of seeds cracking made me jump up, plus all the rustling and water bottle sounds...). But after that, all of a sudden, it turned into not being able to fall asleep until I can hear them both running in their wheels. It just means they are safe and well.

[@Casidilla]

I love the cat light thing in the background!

[@prita8652]

aww i thought about getting emma but i ended up rescuing another little hammy, thank you for rescuing these angels!

[@esmeraldaagramonte6411]

I got my first hamster from petsmart but it was an adoption, they gave her to us for free bc she “bites” but 3months later we’ve made progress and she does not bite as much, she also loves to be petted. She’s still nippy but she’s come such a long way in just three months with proper care, lots of love and patience, can’t wait to see what she’s like after a year! She doesn’t wake up to almost anything but as soon as she hears our voice she runs towards us for treats and petting lol

[@indigoeye3874]

My friend had a syrian hamster and once, she had me take care of her while they went on holiday. She warned that the hamster bites everyone who approaches her, so they didn't really interact with her. During the week the hamster was with me, I had her out daily, petted her, had her on my hands and she nipped my hand only once (not without a reason, I was testing her boundaries). She did need a more slow and careful approach and patience than other hamsters I have had, but she was not agressive or anything, just a bit more shy and easily scared. After I told the friend about it, she let me have her since they didn't really manage to make any bond with her, even though they had her for about a year. I think a lot of people who say that their pet 'bites' just don't know how to interact with them.

[@erebos_5407]

I'm sorry, but I can never understand the "throwaway pet" mindset, and I am very thankful for this. I got my first hamster at 12 for my birthday. I was used to the cats in the house, but I was never tasked with taking care of them until I was older. 8 Years ago I found very little online, and trusted the pamphlets that I found in pet stores and the fancy designs of the kaytee cages. I thought that their cage biting was endearing and a charm of their personality, and I am so grateful that I've now returned to owning hamsters armed with proper knowledge, research, and planning. I still carry the guilt however of how horribly these hamsters were housed and handled. But at the end of the day, I still knew the responsibility that I had towards that animal. And my parents were realistic. My mom was the one who spent most of her time socializing with them, placing their cages next to her computer (on top of having a sleep schedule that keeps you awake until 4 am). Returning the animals or trying to rehome them were never an option, save for one that got ill within 3 days. Unfortunately, he was likely sick at the pet store, and it appeared that wet tail took him from us before we even noticed. But when my first hamster, a syrian at 2 years of age, started to decline in health, we did our best to give him the best "quality" of life (Tons of sweet, sugary cereals and lots of time to just snuggle. Again, I'm so glad I've learned.) When my mom's first winter white developed a cyst on his leg, we went a town over and got him seen at one of the only exotic animal vets nearby. He recovered and seemed content the rest of his life. As much as we didn't know, we still valued these animals. We made a commitment when we purchased them to take care of them for their lives, especially knowing how much shorter theirs are to ours.

[@thewheekshow5537]

My Syrian is an escape artist too. She chewed through the plastic bottom of her enclosure, THROUGH THE TABLE it was on, and steals my guinea pigs Timothy hay. She has SO MUCH enrichment in there and she still wants out. At this point it's become a game to her... But when she does get out, she always goes to the same corner of my kids closet, so I put a little hidey and a bin of bedding, with food and water of course. She cannot be contained 😂

[@indigoeye3874]

Many years ago, I was witness to a peculiar situation. Our cats lived half outside half inside. They got food twice a day at home, but they also had a bowl outside with pellets. One day I watched (through a window) as our cat sat and groomed herself about two metres away from the bowl. Suddenly, a hedgehog rounded the corner and parked its nose inside her food bowl. The cat froze in mid grooming, one paw still raised and tongue still out, cocked her head to the side and watched with the expression of what I can best describe as incomprehension. She stayed frozen like that even a little bit after the hedgehog left. I wonder if the guinea pigs experienced something similar.

[@marylock3105]

I have 2 syrin hampsters ghost is a male 8 months and spirit is a male 19 weeks I love them so much the pet shop I got them from they had no toys no wheel with me they have everything

[@giovannisingergs4159]

For me I like to adopt all my hamsters from the PetSmart adoption program I do go to the display tanks in the front but sometimes I like to go there to see if there's a hamster that isn't in the best condition

[@Meglotruck]

as a kid i was one of those people who took in an "adoption" from petsmart. he was an albino syrian and the associate who spoke to me said he wasnt adopted because customers would say he looked like a rat. made me so sad and he was up for a penny so my mom decided we would take him home out of fear hed be bought as snake food. ive also had my one current boy Trip escape and got into my pig enclosure, the pigs didnt seem to mind him and he was just chilling in there when my sister found him. he was picked up and put back in his enclosure, no intentional interactions happen between them and i hope there isnt another accidental one.

[@xxwiranxx1]

I live in the netherlands and believe me that alot of hamsters are living in tiny cages like as big as a shoe box and nobody is gonna do anything about it, we can do alot better 😅

[@-_YouMayFind_-]

Its changing though and no one is doing anything? Is not completely true. Many people also have their animals bigger then in the usA or philipines. Just like me. I am a breeder and I only sell hamsters to people that have a big enclosure en proper stuff. The people that still place hamsters in smaller cages are people that just dont want to go bigger. They refuse to get a bigger cage and I refuse them so they buy a hamster at the petstore

They are so cute i have a hammy named astra and she looks like your pretty ladies i sadly dont have time for my animals but i make sure i make time for them anyway

Can you do a review on savic heaven metro hamster cage?😊😊

[@DerrisDerrison]

Ive just got a hamster today, basically i heard off my mum that a colleague at her workplace had a bf that was neglecting his 1yr old Syrian, As soon as i found out i said to tell them I'd take her because i couldn't let an animal be treated that way if i could help, She came in a tiny pink plastic cage with bedding that looked as though it had never been changed, a wheel so small she was bent over trying to use it, i managed to find a very very deep cage and massive wheel that she loves but i want to get something even bigger next month when i can afford it, Ive been having trouble looking for the right cage online as they either look too small or are made out of wood, ideally I'd like a tank, ill keep searching and hopefully find something that will be perfect for her, she's so friendly, ive had her out several times today and she keeps climbing on me and loves to be stroked on her back, she's made me very happy but i just want to do right by her so I'm glad to have found this channel because i want to learn and make sure i do everything the way she needs, Subbed xx

I have left all american animal fb-groups. I was hated on for pointing out the inappropriate in the tiny cages/tanks and interoir. People say that the animals are fine. In my country (Sweden) that husbandry would be illegal. I could not stand watching the animals suffer while the owners did not listen, so I left, now tending to my animals in peace.

This may be a silly question but what is the difference between fostering and adopting and if you foster one can you adopt it? I just wanna make sure I understand correctly

I always find it funny that parents think their kids are actually going to do the care. There are a rare few who do but in general they do it for about a week and stop. That is why if you as a parent aren't will to do it don't get animals. I have let my children get animals knowing full well I would be caring for them. I do make sure that they see me taking proper care.

[@vixxenreigns]

@Munchie's Place: Cruella sounds like a hoot....LOL. When I was about 11 or 12 my parents let me get a hamster from the middle school librarian who's mascot library hamster had a litter. Peaches was a like peachy color with a white band around his middle and long hair and Syrian which they called them Teddy Bear Hamsters back then. (This was around 34 years ago.) Anyway, yes bad cages and stuff back then but he managed to flip the cage door open and escape and he somehow wound up all the way across our small house in my parents room under their water bed. No amount of coaxing with treat or anything was working so my parents pulled out the drawers and drilled a hole large enough for my mom's hand and arm to fit through to reach in and grab him. We called him "runaway rodent" from then on. LOL.

[@hydrahugs]

I see this same story time and time again and I wish there was a way to get it out there that Hamsters aren't easy pets. They require large spaces, affection from humans but not from others of their species, and I would bet that the majority of Hamsters being re-sold are in that situation due to misinformation about what it takes to care for a Hamster, and that makes me super sad. Few months ago I rescued a little Winter White Hybrid from a kind family who had simply been screwed over by the store they bought their two Hamsters from. The store told them they could totally house the two of them together in one cage.. The family realized they couldn't pretty quickly, and I reached out and rescued the lil guy. :) Not quite sure how their remaining hamster is doing, since they told me the Hamster they were keeping was a female, and Snowball is certainly a male, so.. Yikes. I see this same story so often. I wish pet stores were more educated on their animals needs! EDIT: Wanted to add a little positivity to the end of my comment because I realized it was kinda sad, so - Snowball was kept previously in a 200 - 300 Square Inch cage with his "friend".. He's now in a 1000+ Square Inch enclosure happy on his own and is thriving! :) He came to me as a neglected, supposedly bitey and unhappy little Hamster, and now he comes running when he hears my voice and snuggles up into my hand to sleep. Very happy ending for him.

[@catherinerogers8558]

i would love to have my own specifically hamster/gerbil/mouse pet store, with proper cages and hand made proper diets and stuff, and all animals ethically bred by myself. and all at relatively affordable prices, while still making a profit. i'd have colorful and fun cages, like for example barn or house-shaped wood cages and stuff like that, all coming in options for side ventilation, top ventilation, or both. oh and of course every cage would be tall enough for at least 10 inches of bedding and a 12 inch wheel without sloping the bedding. or even bigger. plus (non-plastic) accessories for many different themes, because currently it's SO hard to find enough stuff for any theme other than natural at a reasonable price. many different substrates like paper, hemp, aspen shavings, aspen wood pellets (which don't currently seem to exist -_-), multiple options for safe sands, cork granules, and even dried flowers (as a mix-in for decor, not as main substrate of course) potentially some rodent-safe candles, reasonably priced stands for every size cage available, that could also be tall enough for another cage to sit underneath cages that can connect together like crittertrails, but with safe and easy to clean tubes, and being plenty big enough for use on their own as well. and multiple choices for hand made diets and healthy treats for each species.

[@catherinerogers8558]

oh and i could also have the mamas on display so people could see the babies being raised before they're old enough to be sold, but in a way that's not too stressful on the mamas, such as dark tinted or even one-way glass.

[@catherinerogers8558]

and i could also have all breeding hamsters listed where people could see which hamsters would be the parents. they'd have a list of characteristics and traits, and on the cages of their babies that would be up for sale, they'd have information on why the parents were paired together, such as better temperament, health, longevity, etc.

[@gracie2116]

$80!! For that hamster cage?!?! That’s how much my hamster cage cost and it’s 1000sq+ plus!

[@ronclark9724]

You can buy a 200 quart clear bin from Home Depot for less than $40. Of course you will need to DIY the lid for air ventilation, less than $10 for a roll of steel mesh from the garden center and a bag of zip ties. These pet stores would be better off selling it than their TINY toy cages, without any doubt the hamster is...

I'm sorry Munchie but I have to call you out on one statement. Adopt don't shop. So you want the animals in the pet stores to die there without ever having been loved or cared for in a steady home. Great. I disagree. I think those animals deserve homes just as much if not more than animals from rescues or needed. I don't like the system but it will never go away. Your attempted boycott won't stop the pet trade. I love you and your channel but you are wrong. All hamsters deserve love, even the ones unfortunate to be born into pet mills.

i think that while she is right that it's not great to support these stores, there's currently not enough of an actual 'movement' going on to make a difference. once i can drive myself hours each way, i'll start buying hamsters from ethical breeders, but until then i'm going to continue getting them from the only place i can. once there's an actual movement to boycott and protest them, i will absolutely join in.
