Syrian Hamster Rescue | Chadwick's Rescue Story | Munchie's Place

[@unlikewyn]

Can we appreciate munchie please? She's having a really difficult time in her life, stress with all the animals and enormous vet bills, and we still get videos nearly every week. We love you munchie ❤ we don't mind missing a video or two (though I love them :) )

[@welkerfamily7265]

I agree with u munchie is realy working hard and spending a lot of money on the pets and she does post almost every week so I do agree with u

[@deneentorkelson6131]

❤️❤️❤️to Munchie!

[@PiggieTime]

I completely agree!!! She’s awesome

[@PiggieTime]

María I. Sepúlveda I think it’s just a nice comment to remind us how awesome she is!!

[@TracyLynnAP]

@@jadstrawberry many on Instagram and facebook have and do.. they like to believe that small cages are still great and do attack Munchie and other rescue and proper care people

[@queefyymcgee]

I am a child hamster owner and I’ve done SOOOO much research to learn how to take care of a hamster! I used to have 2 hamsters ( at different times ) and kept them in tiny cages with horrible wheels but I’ve learned from my mistakes and now adopted a new Russian dwarf hamster named Pebble with a 775 square inch bin cage! 😁 She enjoys it very much and I’m busy taking her now!

[@Graces_life]

That’s awesome I’m glad you adopted as well

[@livlaughlove4240]

Same. Im very glad I did research or he would have had a horrible life

[@shipleydutch8440]

That’s awesome I’m so happy you got a bin cage with so much room!im also a child hamster owner but my dream is to become the owner of a rodent rescue (big dreams)

[@human1715]

Child hamster owner too I have 2 dwarfs and one Syrian the Syrians cage is 80cm by 50 Dwarfs is smaller but they are ok in it never bite and arent stressed out. I wish I could get them a bigger cage my parents say they are fine. But they arent stressed out anyway👌

[@deneentorkelson6131]

Many kudos to educate yourself. Too many people ( kid or adult) don’t bother to do that. When I was a kid, I unfortunately didn’t educate myself and I’m sure my hamster suffered. Again, many👍to you!

[@smll4186]

My hamster sometimes even get stressed out in his 700+ square inch cage I cannot imagine what these hamsters feel like and my hamster is a dwarf hamster!!!

[@ily2739]

My hamsters the same with 1000+ square inch! I feel like no enclosure is big enough 😭

[@TamsinsMiniBunnies]

Same!! 770 square inches and if I forget to give him out of cage time he starts chewing the bars a bit 😧 that’s why eventually I’m hoping to make a diy cage with over 2000 and he will still probably want more hahahah

[@Carolinagirl1028]

Same here! Oddly enough my dwarf seems to desire more space than my Syrian, so there goes the argument so many seem to make that a smaller enclosure is fine for a dwarf. Dwarf hamsters can be very energetic and require just as much space!

[@k_thenthen_k3421]

My dwarf is very energetic and he currently has a 780 sq inch bin cage. He isn’t happy with it. Surprisingly, his brother is kept in a cage that is the same size (not the same cage, I separated them) and has mostly the same surroundings yet he is very calm and likes his surroundings. My Syrian has a 900 sq inch bin cage so I’m planning on upgrading my dwarf to that size as well.

[@Graces_life]

My hamster got diabetes from the food we were feeding them since we got them. And I was looking for a better food and I ended up making my own healthy mix and he has got so much better since the only being on this diet for a month or so. He is looking and acting loads better and I’m so thankful for that.

[@Graces_life]

Thanks for the likes x

[@dez2950]

Oh wow! I’m glad your hammy is doing a lot better now

[@Graces_life]

@Deliah GachaGaming thank you

[@ravenclawhogwarts6479]

Grace Thompson what mix is it? Because my hamster keep gaining weight and won’t loose any so idk what to do

[@Graces_life]

@Unicorn Lover I made my own mix out of different grains/ seeds like sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, millet etc. And I then give scrambled egg or pasta/spaghetti at least once a week as well ( and veggies every other day).But I did a lot of research on what is the healthiest. I hope one day to make my own hamster mix. And I hope this helps you out

[@jazzjazmiine]

The thumbnail is SOOOO CUTEEEEE

[@Maddie-yp9np]

I just got a dog and I felt bad so I literally got my hamster a bigger cage than what he already had dw I still give him plenty of attention I could not abandon him. (800sq inches of floor space btw)

[@Kayla-dj7uu]

Since getting my hammy at the beginning of December 2020, I started with a crittertrail starter kit, then upgraded to a 20 gal tank with ledges, now I have a 66 gallon bin cage! Thank you for helping me with my research!

[@Maddie-yp9np]

Such a gorgeous coat colouring he's gorgeous

[@pixienyx4306]

If you want to get your kid a starter pet, get a tamagotchi or a furby. One off payment then just pay for batteries! Not even kidding, that’s what my parents did. They saw how responsible I was with my tama, and a plant, then they got me a hamster. His cage was a little smaller (but this was 20 years ago), but he had plenty of toys, chews, and my dad built a massive extension and took me to the pet shop every month to stock up on what I needed to care for him, using my own pocket money (although the parents did surprise me by buying upgrades when he needed them if I didn’t have enough). So my parents stepped up on where I fell short (because I was young and didn’t really have my own money) but I had overall responsibility in caring for him. He was nearly 4 when he passed. Parents, please, hamsters are amazing pets, I still have a ham now, but only buy your child a ham if they have shown a level of responsibility which you trust in them to care for another living thing, and only if you are willing to participate in the care when necessary. Otherwise, you’re encouraging the breeding of hamsters from profiteers playing on the demands of kids, then causing them to suffer.... just because they’re small and quiet doesn’t mean they don’t deserve the best quality of life possible......

[@valeriegeminiqueen928]

Hello I also own a rescue called valeries small animal rescue in Colorado and I’m so amazed to see another person rescuing amazing little babies like I am we are a new place of love to see how much more you grow ❤️

[@matthewsmommy1212]

I’ve learned so much from you Thank you so much I Previously had 4 Female mice & after they passed my hubby got me a female Syrian And we upgraded from a long tank to a prevue 528 thank you for the knowledge

[@MunchiesPlace]

That is awesome!

[@Darkshade_01]

Let's show munchie how much we love her and please continue subscribing to her KZbin channel also don't forget to leave a like and comment on this video it helps her out a lot

[@honeymason3704]

I just recently discovered your channel recently after asking for constructive criticism on my multiple Crittertrail setup for my winter white, Bravoure, and getting pointed here, and while I was so upset to learn how I bought into misinformation, I was so glad to find such informative videos, and immediately set him up with a 600+ square inch bin cage! Thank you so much for everything you do, you're helping new and old hamster owners alike!

[@countingstarz2310]

I recently just was able to rescue a hamster from a bad situation his name is cheeks and he’s a super tiny and cute Chinese’s hamster., I love him so much and I’m so happy I was able to take him in!

[@Graces_life]

Cheeks is such an adorable name

[@countingstarz2310]

Thanks!

[@Graces_life]

You’re welcome

[@bonnieproofrandomnezz101]

No way a chinese hamster, are they as cute as they say?

[@countingstarz2310]

Bonnieproof Randomnezz yea he kinda looks like a mouse right now bc he’s very little but he’s cute!

[@Tinx92]

I bought a syrian at Christmas for my little boy but I look after the hamster along with my partner and my little boy at the moment just gets to watch her play and help me clean her out. She is a bit shy still so we are getting her used to us and tame her before we even let my little boy hold her. Your videos have been great for me to learn the appropriate habitat for them, when I was younger I had russians and I had cages like this and never had enough bedding for burrowing it makes me feel so bad now that I did that. As soon as I decided to get a hamster I made sure to research and get everything ready before I bought her. She has a large tank and lots of bedding to burrow and I am adding to her toys now I know they need alot of chews and the platforms look great for her food and water. Thanks for all the great educating you do! I have certainly learnt alot.

[@Tekacreates]

Conflicting opinion: I am fine with parents getting them as a starter pet as long as they are prepared to take over for care, are kept in a family space, and are committed to care for their entire lives.

[@MunchiesPlace]

This means it's a families pet, not the child's pet. This i am fine with so long as they take care of the animal together and teach them important things together. Sometimes parents will give all the responsibility on the child till they give up and get bored or tired of it.

[@debayeuxchats5607]

My parents let me get hamsters when I was young, but (I didn't find out until I was older) my mom would check in on it every day when I was in school. She made sure I had changed the water, that I had given it food, and that it was clean and doing well. I had the illusion that I was taking care of it All By Myself, but she was keeping an eye to make sure that I was actually following through. I presume, if I had actually forgotten, that she would have done what needed doing and gotten on me to remember! (It also meant that, when the animals did pass on, timing worked that I wasn't the one who found them.)

[@fallen535_online]

I think that hamsters are too small for children, but if you mean like 12+ it's completly okay. It also depends on the parents and how they think about pets - are they a new family members or just things.

[@MotherOfWednesday]

I would be more okay with dropping the word "starter" from the equation. They are pets. Not beginner or starters.

[@happyhamster7213]

Maggie Kennedy completely agree!!! I hate the attitude where hamsters are only seen as pets to get people ready for other animals, their lives are equally as important and they should be taken care of with as much love and attention 🐹❣️

[@fiona.audrey]

I’m getting a hamster soon and have been watching your videos. I’m going to make a bin cage. I used to have a Robo hamster and did not research enough but now I know what to do! Thank you for making these videos to educate and saving hamsters!

[@FiremanSam_LegoNinjago]

He look so cute he also looks like my hamster also my hamster bite me today this brightened it up Edit: Guys I was giving her a treat carefully and calmly and I wasn’t making any noise

[@terriciaab]

Did you have a food smell on your hands? Or was he just scared

[@youdroppedsomething4334]

You should be more careful when putting your hands around them, they probably got scared. Make sure they see your hand and don’t touch them from the top, makes you seem like a predator.

[@Reaper-0000]

You dropped Something.

[@MissyAmy88]

I recently rescued a male syrian hamster from an internett ad. It said that the owner could not keep the animal, and that they wanted her (they belived it to be a girl) to have a new and better home. The hamster was 3 or 4 months old when I got him, they were not sure. He had not been tamed . He was in a good size cage, the Savic hamster Haven. I am so glad they chose to give him to me. He had been miserable before. The bars had been chewed on many times. There was very little bedding and he was sleeping in a small plastic hide hanging from the ceiling. He didn't have a large enough wheel that he could use. When I got him I soon changed the set up of the cage. I installed some large platforms, a lot of paper based bedding, a large wheel, a sandbath and hides. He loved it. He was running on the wheel for 3 hours more or less non stop the first day. He is using his sandbath daily and is tamed hamster today. I am so happy that I got to adopt this cute calm little boy :D

[@annabellegagliano]

Hi I love this video and I love how you rescue animals I am an animal lover and want to help animals when I get older just like you do

[@dez2950]

I’m just amazed you’ve managed to name every hamster you’ve rescued lmao

[@topsymatthews8484]

Every animal deserves a name

[@allisonclemons8601]

I’m so glad he’s with you now

[@samandthehams4496]

When I got my Syrian, I intended to keep getting hamsters, but to convince my parents, I told them having a schedule with him may help me organize myself, and I’d say that’s actually been a help. I’ve become more organized and downsized a lot of my stuff in order to have space for him, and I feel more on top of things. Any animal can help bring balance to your life as long as you’re willing to care for them and do the work.

[@waltergrove2657]

R u gonna put them together?

[@kashregester3974]

There was this person who was arguing with me over a vid that had at least 20 gerbil in 10 tiny tales cages connected together which is oviously way to small and when i mentioned 450 floor space they said "that my whole room" n that showed me that they didn't know basic math

[@Rybread973]

Lol!

[@emilyflores7257]

"that's my whole room" omg lol

[@maddiepierre527]

Lol they living in a toilet bowl then

[@negan1445]

This is bad for so many reasons, not only is it to small, gerbils chew plastic which can be deadly, the more gerbils in a small space the more likely they will fight, gerbils should have one open space as having different enclosures can lead to them becoming territorial. I feel so bad for those poor gerbils and wonder how many ended up dying due to one idiot not caring for them correctly 😔

[@Dr.RatioSnail]

@@negan1445 Can confirm that it is horrible and that all 14 of my gerbils had individual enclosures when I was a kid we only had a tinytales cage for two days before we had to get 14 individual cages that were not tinytales cages. I actually broke that tinytales cage by tripping over it in our garage after we stopped using it. We started out with two gerbils and well 12 ended up being born. They couldn't be housed together due to genders and fighting. We also didn't want any more babies. It's super irresponsible to house gerbils together. My own gerbils never liked wheels though like they just never quite enjoyed or used them ever. So they had a natural wood hide and lots of chews instead. Like they flat out ignored any wheels we got them.

[@binkybunnysway943]

Aww all the work you do is amazing. I had tons of hampsters as a kid I loved them so much such cuties. Can't have one now as I've a cat so I'd be worried. Hi from Binky

[@sereen461]

My friend has this cage and I educated her about hamster care but instead of saying ok she yelled at me calling me stupid and that I know nothing about hamsters and then her mom yelled at me for “bullying” but I just calmly explained that she needs a different cage and she said were not friends anymore I feel sooo bad for her hamster but now I cannot do anything about it cause she refuses to listen 🙁

[@Graces_life]

I’m so sorry that your friend didn’t listen to you I hope she realises the right care for hamsters. And what a caring friend she lost.

[@sereen461]

Grace Thompson I hope she realizes too and thx!😁

[@sereen461]

Lenna I know right and I think she did and I even told her that she can connect that cage to a bin cage if she doesn’t want to throw it out and guess what her playtime area is it’s a mop bucket a really tiny one 🙄

[@sereen461]

Lenna I know!!!

[@sereen461]

Lenna exactly! before I had a bad cage someone told me about bin cages I toks the advice made adjustments and now my hamster has a 620 square inch bin cage and btw when i has a bad cage that was a year ago or more!

[@emiliatinglof4885]

Hi Munchie! I Love watching your videos💕 Oh and i have a hamster, her name is Tinkerbelle and she is the cutest💚 (her instagram: @tinkerbelle.sprinkle so you can see what she looks like if you want☺️) Tinkerbelle is a syrian hamster i think. The thing is that she used to bite the bars on her cage but she stopped doing that, we think it is because she didnt find her chewing toys but when she found them she stopped, th cage is pretty big (i dont know how big) if i could i would give her an enire room but i am 12 so the cage she has is good enough. Love you Munchie, cant wait for the next video💕

[@skylarutd]

Idk even knw how kids with all the info available on hamster online still buy these animals without knowing anything about their care. Shambles

[@maddiepierre527]

I’m a child hamster owner and I did my research !

[@hithere1874]

unfortunately pet stores will try and encourage you to buy their products which are always horrible for the animal ): when i bought my hamster from petco, the employee tried selling me a small cage and told me i only need a half inch of bedding for it. luckily i’ve had hamsters before and have my own cage (600 sq in)

[@abigail1023]

With all the tons of informative videos like this one and all the information available with a few clicks, there is NO excuse for not providing proper care for any animal other than laziness or not giving a crap. Hamsters and other small pets are not toys for children.

[@lynnettevandersandt1498]

Chadwick is BEAUTIFUL 💖💗

[@ave.pz1]

Awwww I'm glad you saved him! 💜💜💜💜

[@emilyyy5951]

I am only 11 and I still did my research About hamster care and how much bedding they need, wheels, how big the cage is and etc. but for my cage I went for a bin cage and I wish everyone could do their research before they get a pet

[@mannerni8999]

When I got my first hamster I was a pretty young teenager, around 13 ish. I had been wanting a hamster and did a little bit of research but was stupid enough to let my parents decide what the animal needed for me. So my little robo had a pretty rough start but when I started watching this channel and erinsanimals and a few others I upgraded her cage twice, once to a bin cage that was still a little below the minimum here in the UK. Then to the barney cage, which is around 100 by 50cm (i can't remember the square footage since I am taking a break from owning hamsters). So please do so much research before getting a pet, and when you think you have done enough, do even more. You can never know enough about these little guys in order to give them a great life

[@PiggieTime]

That’s awesome!! It sounds super similar to my guinea pig care journey

[@mistythehamster8405]

U have helped many hamsters it makes me so happy that u care!!! I SIGNED A PETITION AGAINST TINY TAIL CAGES!!😄😄 I despise those cages!

[@waiterVa]

Great video as always!!!!!!

[@imdrunkmk427]

Love you munchie' Could you please make a video on the difference between gerbils and hamsters?

[@negan1445]

I 2nd this as so many people think they are pretty much the same.

[@daisychadwick9654]

I love your channel so much

[@connorscorner5781]

Your so lucky to be able to have so many hamsters my hamster just passed away and unfortunately I not allowed to get another because there to expensive and because of the virus...rest in peace gizmo

[@sarai1023]

Im a teen hammy owner and I have done tons of research to convince my parents to let me have one. His name is Cookie and he is a Syrian in an Ikea Detolf. The only thing is that I don't think he likes been held or touched. Every time I try to like do bathtub time or use treats to let me hold him he just isnt too keen on it. He flinches when I put my hand near him and stuff. I have decided to just let him be and let him be chill in his cage. I've had him since early December last year sooo about 8 months or so. Just wanted to know if its alright if he just becomes a watching hammy 😂

[@ahaokatano3153]

Ya I'm a child and my sister made me take care of her guinea pigs, I was definitely not ready to take care of them and replace all of their stuff

[@ashleytalamini42]

I'm new the having a hamster and I'm doing my research now because my husband found a hamster in a very small cage by our mailbox on 9/1. He's now in a 476 SQ in cage while we find space to put a bigger cage/bin. I'm looking into video about various things and I came across your video for the DIY bin, and started watching more of your videos. We never never planned on him so this all new to us and we are leaning as we go.

[@tillygrant8564]

i love you and your vids :)

[@margaretz4721]

I am so grateful for the internet otherwise I would have had no idea the cages they sell at pet stores are cruel and inappropriate. My teenage son begged me for a hamster, and I thought, how hard can it be? Because I had never had one before and pet store makes it seem so easy. Luckily the pet store asked us to adopt for free a special-needs hamster on the condition we get her a large glass tank because she was chewing through plastic and wire cages and other homes. And so just like that I started off with a glass aquarium anyway. Even though my son is a teenager I have to admit he is mostly interested in her cuteness and not her care despite his promises to the contrary. I'm the one who cares for her like crazy and spend loads of time with her every night. I can't agree with you more that these are not starter pets for children. Since we've gotten this hamster many people have told us their stories of getting hamsters for their kids and knowing what I do now, most of them make me sad do to inferior care and early death of hamster. Of all the pets I've ever owned, aquatic snails are the easiest and would make a good starter pet for kids, but I think even a dog or a cat is a better pet for a child than a hamster. It is much harder to ignore a dog or cat, pets you can leave in cages are all too easily forgotten and neglected.

[@amandamartin1880]

I love the way you explain that hamsters are not the best pet for most children, as most people are just like ''NO HAMSTERS FOR KIDS!'' but I am a child/young teen and i had a winter white hamster (He since passed, i'm waiting to get an other hamster from an ethical breeder). I started with not the best care (I have seen way worse but my care was bad) but did my reserch to then upgrade him to a 645sq inch cage filled with enrichement. (He never showed signs of bordom) I agree that most children will not care for them right, but i love the way you kind of say some children give hamsters great care, but most of the time, hamsters are not well suited pet for children.

[@franceshopper2728]

When me, my sister and my brothers turned 14 my parents gave us the option to get a small pet, on the grounds we proved to them we had done the research and know how to care for them. Mine came in the form of a 2 page fact sheet about mice care (which I'm proud of as it was pretty accurate for the information i know now and have gained from looking after them and rats for the past 5 years

[@PiggieTime]

It’s awesome that your parents made sure you researched!!

[@juliab2505]

If you want a starter pet the best one is a plant🌱 and tiny tales lift up your game and stop selling hamster traps or childrens toys

[@ohanalove2289]

I love your videos so much you teach me a lot of information about hamster care and what new thing to get for my hamster

[@HannaFardew]

Pet stores using wired wheels is why I avoid going to certain stores. I shop at Petco for hamster supplies (bedding, toys, ect. But not cages) as petsmart uses wired wheels in their enclosures

[@MunchiesPlace]

Petco only uses wire wheels for gerbils but yes i agree, I've seen petsmart use wire wheels for hamsters which have more sensitive padding on their feet.

[@leahfaith12]

When is was getting hamster supplies I saw a hamster get smushed by another hamster and it was a wired wheel I really hate petsmart for that

[@thejurassicexpert7962]

My hamster Nugget looks just like Chadwick! This is such a sad story and thanks to you my Syrian is now in a prevue!

[@DollSchmidt4429]

It's so sad that people just get them because they think that hamsters are "low maintenance" I have a long hair Syrian hamster and I always make sure that she has everything that she needs and makes sure she's comfortable

[@miserablemoonlight]

I love your videos so much munchie!!!💕I wanna start saving up more money so I can give my hamsters even better lives or even make my own small rescue with the help of my parents😂💕I’m a child hamster owner but has done so much research and grown so much by watching your videos!💕keep up the good work!🐹

y e s another video also when the kid lost interest in the hamster I was shook

[@kirstenberlin3945]

Adorable 🙂😃

[@PianoDisneygal10]

I wonder if some people just knew what a nightmare those cages are to clean if that would deter them from buying them

[@Grace_Ashxx]

All the people that disliked are the people that couldn’t be bothered to take care of their hamsters U^U

[@happyhamster7213]

Beanie they’re probably the ones that got hamsters as trial/‘starter’ pets for their kids 😢

[@nzpaws]

How ironic, Chadwick looks almost identical to the Syrian hamster I just rescued and came from a similar situation as him 😅 so glad he’s doing better with you

[@debbyelliott5007]

So many people ran out and grabbed hamsters during this pandemic only to get rid of them later...so sad for the little guys ☹️. Just a side note...luving 😍 that Daryl Dixon tank you have on.

[@Nadine-hs9gx]

I'm just curious May I ask what happend to the Guinea pigs you had in your care I love your videos in think what you do is amaizing xx

[@MunchiesPlace]

They went to a loving adopter who I am currently still in talks with. Their names were changed to Snickers and Twix. You can follow them along on Instagram. I believe I tagged the owner who adopted them in one of our posts.

[@ssomeoneyouknoww]

As a 15 year old I have a male dwarf hamster with a 1600 square inch cage and a female dwarf hamster with a 3450 square inch cage. Both of them have completely German setups with 30-45cm of bedding.

[@everythinganimals4025]

Some people just dont understand they need to give it. Bigger cage and better care Even I it's. Small animal people still need to love it as if it was a dog or cat

[@umafranklin1452]

I’m going to get my children hamsters / guinea pigs and use it as an opportunity to educate them on how they should be treated they are lovely pets and I certainly want more in the future but they are so cute and the fact they live a couple years is another reason to spoil them

[@clairemartin3359]

He looks similar to my new hamster. I took in a hamster a few days ago from a family who did a similar situation as Chadwick (teaching a child responsibility). The parent refused to even pick up or look after the hamster. I saw his ad on a local selling group. So I asked and took him in. You and your channel convinced me not to go to my pet shop and to look for a hamster in need rather then promote rodent mills. Your message has passed the Atlantic to England to make better choices.

[@nosyd3328]

For real tho that hair colour and length of hair looks so pretty!

[@mistythehamster8405]

1:51 I have that bowl! Lol he’s so cute!

[@ambervokes8688]

I was watching a video of faze rugs hamster and the hamsters home was loads of critter trails put to gever with tubes and his play pen was a 40 gallon tank

[@originalkingdomhearts]

I said it once and I'll say it again. If you cant take care of a hamster you cant take care of any other animals especially a cat which need a lot more care and attention because of how social they are. Another reason why I hate pet stores. At least with breeders they can control who gets the animals I hope someone gets that cat away from them because they dont have the maturity to take care of animals . I'm just so sick of this already. Laws need to change.

[@Dr.RatioSnail]

Exactly and if you have an animal like gerbil and they have an accidental litter it is you as the owners job to ensure the babies are cared for loved and have homes for life. As an owner who had around 14 gerbils not by choice but due to circumstances. Keeping all 14 was not easy but we decided as a family that we had an obligation to care for our adult gerbils and their offspring till the end of their days and we did. Pets are for life you don'r just throw away a pet just because your kid loses interest. Oddly enough I never lost interest in Sunflower and Rocky they weren't toys they were affectionate bundles of fluff amd I loved them and the other 12 gerbils I had growing up. Sunflower did like biting my fingers a lot. She was not the most tolerant of handling.

[@originalkingdomhearts]

@@Dr.RatioSnail My parents wouldn't allow me to get pets unless I proved I could handle it and no matter how hard it got they were with me to the very end. I've had hamsters,dogs,cats,snakes,turtles, and birds. All stayed with me till the day they died. The only time I would ever give up my pet is if I become homeless and then I will give them to someone I trust for a short amount of time and then get them right back when I fix the issue. Ya just don't throw away living creatures!

Peanut sounds like he’s having a great life and I love the size of the cage. I have two budgies they are amazing and incredibly intelligent and take up most of my time (like all of my pets do)! But they have a whole room to fly around in all day (with stands and landing areas). So if you get a bird/birds please do loads of research. Xx

[@eviolus-5660]

Depending on the breed birds are VERY high maintenance. More so than a cat or dog, please make sure that if you get a bird that your parents are willing to take over when/if you go to college to as they often have long lifespans

[@negan1445]

I grow up with budgies and had quite a few of my own, they are noisy and poop a lot. My last pair we had toys and swings hanging from the ceiling for them but they still likes to sit on our curtain pole and chew the curtains and wallpaper 🙈

[@topsymatthews8484]

Birds live a loooong time... I'm sure u will do your research and look after it properly tho

[@jadengoodwin2006]

Poor baby

munchie STOP YOUR HAIR IS DO PRETTY IT MAKES ME MAD 😂

[@rudysworld182]

Aww so cute!! I wish I could adopt from you. Sadly I don’t live close I’m from Florida. I feel bad for buying instead of adopting. I didn’t have any luck finding any for adoption. None the less I’m happy that I saved my ham. He didn’t even have a wheel at the pet store. He was all alone! I went to several petstores and called no one has hamsters. Most likely form the virus not sure. Either way he’s in a better place now. 💕🐹😊 I love your videos. Hope in the future I can legit rescue one.

[@Rybread973]

Chadwick looks just my new hamster Ohgee! I got Ohgee about a week ago and I did a ton of research before hand. I even got her from a shelter instead of petco! Ps: I am a kid sorry about my bad grammar

[@TinyTonygamer]

I have 14 Long haired Syrian hamsters and they all are in separate credit trail cages and they are doing fine and i am feeding them the food from walmart and they are still alive and breathing and happy so yall can listen to her and take her advice but this is my opinion

[@tigermisty5901]

i like your videos!

[@KelzoSerenity]

Chadwick looks exactly like Loki... my hamster!

[@red_43]

I am a 10 close to 11 and I have a hamster it's my second one there both dwarth and I am the one who takes care of the hamster (both, cleaning, feed, ect) my cage is floor place except 3 floors and has tubes, 2 wheels and the cage was £21 I'm from England/Newcastle

[@KTclarkemullen]

I’m so glad you are trying to hard with your hamster unfortunately those 3 floor enclosures aren’t big enough (I had the same one at your age) in the uk we have bigger requirements as well if there’s any chance you can convince your parents you need an 80*50cm cage minimum The Alaska from zoo plus is around £30 and that’s the smallest suitable cage you can get I have the the savic plaza but that’s a pretty expensive cage might be harder to convince your parents

[@nizzie0267]

Okay but why is your makeup+hair+outfit= super stylin' today?

[@giovannisingergs4159]

I am learning a lot from your videos and also from Victoria Rachel both of your channels have helped me a lot to be a better hamster owner just one question what to do if your hamster bite to you do you have any advice what I can do

[@waltergrove2657]

I see u EVERYWHERE

[@oliwiaziemak3799]

I swear the tiny tales cage he came in is nearly the size of my hamsters multi chamber hideout 😂 poor Chadwick 😔😔 so happy you’ve taken him in 🙃🙃

[@Dr.RatioSnail]

Usually but cats tend to become family pets even if the kid gets bored the parents won't.

[@samneilsen5587]

he's SOOO cute

[@IDK-nt5wv]

I've never been this early

[@realitymuffin4755]

omg where is Chadwick's current enclosure from? It looks so cool I've never seen anything like it!! 11:17

[@x.carbon.x1613]

I believe it is the NiteAngel tank cage in white! Munchie also did a review on the cage and said she quite liked it so it would make sense if she used it here :)

[@Aroaceenby]

I hate when people decide to get rid of an animal because "they got another animal." The only situation in which you should rehome an animal due to another animal is if one animal is causing an unsafe environment for the other animal. I decided not to foster cats yet because i got a hamster and his safety is my priority. But i also have a snake and his safety and happiness is just as much a priority as my hanster. I got the snake in May and i still have him. I am going to keep them both and not just give up my snake because i now have a hamster. That's not how you treat an animal. I love them both equally. Also, it's sad that the hammy is 4 months old. For one thing it probably means they've only had him for 2 or 3 months but also, hamsters live only 1 1/2-2 years, so that 3 months could very well be 20% of the hamster's life and could feel like way longer to him than to the humans. Poor hamster.

[@FreezingNightmare]

Omg i lov ur vids and u mentioned u were in facebook groups, i know everyonce in a while theres a page called hammpy hamster that makes asmr type videos but all the animals r in extremly small cages and often enough there r no wheels or any chews or hides and tiny amount of bedding. Idk if u take a look or not but its kinda sketchy

[@marrionna044]

My mother is very ignorant and kept trying to get me to get a cute tall cage I think was like 150sqaure inches and literally didnt believe me when I showed her all these sources saying they need more space😐

[@nishanicholas9220]

earliest iv'e ever been

[@nazdrsunlifecoaching8718]

Rally good vidio ❤❤❤❤

[@ladonnam]

Hamster for us is to love ANDY to help the kid learn. BUT I CLEAN IT he is learning to play and shop and dote on and watches me clean. I supervise all interaction however. Not a hard concept.

[@jencaisse7392]

I found out some people use the tubes for bettas. Not a bad idea! xD As long as they're clean Also.. do the tubes just lead to a hole in the ceiling..? Would toilet paper work for the wire wheel surface?

[@KariMay_]

Do the previous owners ever see these videos?? so curious

[@MunchiesPlace]

We've had a few surrenders say they watch the channel and follow the rescue and that's why they're contacting us to surrender at the time. It's only happened a couple of times. All of the rescues we've done before on CL or Offerup are from people who don't own hamsters/gerbils/mice anymore and are getting rid of them, so you won't see them browsing KZbin unless they're still into those animals. We've only ever had one person in the 2 1/2 years of CL rescued find us before and tried to play the victim over a very neglectful situation that we saw, rescued and had to pay for the end result of their neglect. That was the only time.

[@brittanygeren8881]

Munchi I was watching this "docuseries" Tiny Creatures on Netflix and the second episode is about an owned Syrian hamster and I had rage quit the documentary after maybe 10 minutes. I'd love to know your take on this episode and how Syrian care is presented in this "educational documentary"

[@UHOHMCRAE]

victoria raechel said she would react to it in a comment she just has problems with copyright.

[@matveyxivan7159]

i think he was passed around, i think the going back to work ad was a dif person from the cage ad and the cage people bought him from the bin person

[@elenachernik4008]

Just to say the bare minimum for a hamsters cage is 450 SQ in inches just like she said do NOT get anything smaller cause it is not good for your hamster

[@LunatheMoonDragon]

I'm sorry, WHAT??? The CAGE was for sale, and the living creature is just kind of thrown in as a package deal? What the actual fuck???
