Hi Victoria! I just wanted to say thank you for all the help you send out for us. You probably won’t see this but my hamster passed away last night, and she was four years old. It was so sad to see her go, but you helped me along with your journey so much! You are so amazing. 🥹🥹🥹🥹✨✨✨🌻🌻🌻❤❤

[@alyssa7utd]

hi victoria! you probably wont see this, but my sister had a hamster called eleanor roughly 4 years ago, she had really bad care and she got so bored of having a hamster that all she did was throw a handfull of food in her cage each morning. thankfully my sister let me have her in 2021 and i spent hours watching all of your hamster care videos so i could give her a better life and get her out of the state my sister left her in. my care wasnt perfect as i was only 11 or 12 at the time and i didnt have my own money, but it wasnt awful. my sister never really tried to gain her trust, but i managed to get her to trust me enough so i could hold her! she sadly passed in september 2021, but because of you i managed to give her a happier life for the few months she had left. i simply cannot thank you enough, you really helped me save eleanors life. thank you for everything you do 😊🩷

[@VictoriaRaechel]

I'm happy you could come across my channel to give her a better life! 💗 I'm sure she really appreciated it even if it was for a short while.

[@VictoriaRaechel]

Aw thank you! ☺️

[@WinstonArmani]

Hey Victoria, currently my hamster is dying unfortunately, he’s been living for three years now. Even though I’ve had 3 hamsters in the passed that have lived till 4, so their max years. It’s still so hard for me, and just knowing that he is slowly dying and there is nothing else I can do, hurts me so much. All I know is I gave him a great life, and I thank you so much for all of the tips you gave me throughout the years of me owning hamsters. I thank you so much❤

[@VictoriaRaechel]

I'm so sorry to hear that ❤️ 3 years is a wonderful age and know that you gave him a great life 🫂

[@Nothemomma904]

I love how accommodating penny in just slowly exploring and letting you get adorable footage

[@ren-casey]

Penny is so calm being put into a new enclosure with new smells! Had to change out all of my hamster’s bedding recently due to mites, and as soon as he was back in the enclosure he immediately darted into his chamber hide and it took a week for him to be comfortable again. So impressed with your new cage!

[@VictoriaRaechel]

Aw! Penny has always been pretty good with changes to his enclosure! Thank you 🐹

[@sophiaaa6302]

Hi Victoria! Thank you so much for bringing so much to the hamster community. George has gotten a huge improvement since last time I commented on here and now lives in a 100 x 50 x 50cm tank ! He is so much happier and doesn’t show stress behaviours anymore! Love your work always and I admire everything you bring to the hamster community ❤

[@VictoriaRaechel]

I'm so happy I could help! It's my pleasure 🐹☺️

[@sarahj2542]

Thank you for all of the information you’ve provided me with over the last several years. I have owned 3 hamsters and since the passing of my girl Penelope last week, I’ve decided not to own hamsters anymore in the near future, my heart can’t handle the losses. This being said, understanding how many folks where i live are not aware of how to properly keep a hamster, I will be giving away my aquarium enclosure and accessories to someone with a less ideal enclosure. My goal is to provide someone who maybe didn’t know how to properly provide for their hamster with a great space and hopefully some great information as well. Thank you for advocating in the hamster community. ❤ Love from Canada

[@VictoriaRaechel]

That is very understandable, it can be a lot for the heart to handle! I'm sure whoever receives your setup/supplies with appreciate it so much.

[@WillowWitch3]

I just wanna say thank you for putting out such great information. I rescued my baby girl Walnut 2 and a half years ago from a tiny pet store plastic cage. She was thin, malnourished and timid. Your videos helped me care for her properly and help her grow out of her shell. I followed a similar design to one of your cages to give her the best life possible. She passed away last night due to organ failure 💔 thank you for helping me and other through my journey. I hope to rescue more hams in the future and give them lives like this where they can thrive💜💜💜 All the love in the world -Willow💜

After you have had a pet or type of pet for a while everything they eat, sleep, play with and use just grows on you. What I mean by that is if I get a new bag of hay for my bunnies I would look at it and I think “man this looks so good I want to eat it” or if you set something up like Victoria did you think “ wow I just want to live there, ooo seeds” *climbs in*

I remember when I was little I wached your videos all the time ,so I was inspired to get a dwarf hamster, but unfortunately I wasn't experienced and my parents bought a tiny tales cage and had one inch of bedding, but then I watched your vid on how to properly take care of a hamster and begged my dad to build a bin cage,and after we immediately bought more bedding and I remember I shoved a bunch of bedding on one side for it to burrow .But a year later it saddly died.rip princess. Anyway thank you for your inspiration, God bless!!❤❤❤❤

[@anarosameran6262]

Hello Victoria! I’m a new Syrian hamster owner, and your videos have saved my life. Thank you for sharing all this it definitely makes it so much easier for people like me that have no idea how to care for these precious creatures 😂. I do have a question though, how often do you clean/change the bedding on this big closure? Some people say weekly but that’s a lot of bedding it would not only make a whole on my pocket but I think that’s a lot of work and time consuming. How often would you suggest changing the bedding for a 40x20 inches closure with bedding 7 to 10” high?

My fave part is putting in fresh bedding! It was my favourite part of mucking out my horses ! And believe me wood shavings was far less waste but more expensive!

[@zaydnharbin6507]

I regret not putting him down sooner. I didn’t bc I was wanting to find the cheapest vet. I have to pay for all my animals vet/care/food so I just didn’t know the right way to go about it.

Hi Victoria!:) I just wanted to say I love your videos and I learn so much from them please keep making more and the decor of this cage is REALLY Amazing and I love it so much and one of the things I learnt from you is that hamsters are better off alone and I was gonna get a hamster but thought I think we should get two and so it won’t be lonely but the day before we were gonna get the hamsters I saw one video of yours and you said hamsters are better off alone so here I am now with just one hamster and a big enclosure, the right size wheel good enrichment and that’s all because of you!❤thank you😊

[@arielperry5753]

Recommendation you could add a latter at the dig box going to the hamster wheel platform it looks kinda steep right there and so he could more easily get to the wheel

I considered it but the ladders all were pretty steep so it wouldn't change that aspect.
