Hi Munchie! Big fan from here in Canada. My comment is less about Butterscotch and more about you. Take care of yourself, I’m sure everyone can understand and respect there are some aspects of your life you want to keep private and deal with on your own. Your health is important and it’s definitely not owed to anyone to share that. I understand a lot of what you’re going through, even without knowing the specifics. I have a lot of chronic, but mainly invisible illnesses, and it’s so hard to spend so much time at the Dr’s, be so sick, and yet appear so normal. I am sending you my best wishes and healing thoughts. - Danni

[@chrissiek2351]

People like you give me hope in humanity for animals. With all the other videos on youtube that are videoing hamster fights, mice fights and what not- your videos are a breath of fresh air. Thank you!

[@woomeebly]

Hi munchie! Hope you feel better soon. Poor little boy. I know you are going to take amazing care of him. He's a gorgeous hamster. He reminds me of my late Keoke. I have a black longhaired girl called Dotcom. She is a beautiful lady. I love her so much. She's about a year old.

[@carolynr4536]

My first hamster looks exactly like him. She was a short haired Syrian hamster. Her name was Cocoa and I loved her so much. But now that I actually think about it we had such a small cage for her. We had a 10 gallon aquarium and she had a 6 inch silent spinner. 🤦‍♀️. Now I have a winter white and his name is Mango. Unfortunately he started with a tiny tails cage with the tubes. He kept escaping so I moved him up to a 10 gallon tank. Then I came upon your channel and Victoria Reachel. Thank you so much for making videos, you saved my hamster from torture! He now has a homemade cage that is 12” by 60”! He’s no longer eating just seeds that you buy in prepackaged bags at the pet store. I made him his own food and every other day I’ll give him a baby carrot. So I just wanted to say, thank you so much for making videos like this. It’s so rare to find videos about hamsters that actually tell correct information. But thanks to you, i have the most spoiled hamster in the world. Edit: And he has a 12” wheel that he runs on all the time

[@deewolfe7121]

Nice reflexes when he was about to fall

[@MunchiesPlace]

Focus was on point. Also experience helps with hamsters with high fight or flight responses. He was barely stepping on my hand, so i knew when he was going to launch. It's a reaction to not knowing what they're walking on and wanting to get away.

[@pattallant2398]

I hope the best for your medical issues. Thank you for being a caring animal rescuer. Good info on the Kaytee tubes! He knows you know what you’re doing so is more relaxed. Ya, kids aren’t always gentle and are very quick. So glad you have him. 😊

Hey I think the big glass tray is probably a sand bath. And I recommend you use it for that( I also recommend having a hidey in the sand Bath)

My hamster's food mix has a bunch of different things for her, she usually eats everything but leaves the fibre pellets

[@rehaanali6723]

Ooh! Do you mind telling what food you feed? I have been doing alot of reasearch and alot of food brands that i like dont ship to Cairo so i have been looking for new alternates! Thanks!

[@ratvomit345]

I used Higgins Sunburst (which is recommended in this vid) and he also leaves the fiber pellets

[@ashlinnmeechan5274]

@@ratvomit345 I don’t believe sunburst has fiber pellets in it, or if it does it has very few. It’s a seed mix, most of the teeny seeds are millet. My hamster always leaves the millet for last, and eats the pea flakes and Mazuri Rat and mouse blocks first:

[@kayseeponton5598]

@@ashlinnmeechan5274 Sunburst has alfalfa pellets in it. my little dude also leaves those, he has no interest. so i just make sure i offer some fresh veggies so he gets his fiber in.

[@MunchiesPlace]

There is a small thin fiber pellet in sunburst. It's not as overpowering in this formula as Kaytee's taste of the wild is. But it's common to see them leave the pellets due to hay pellets not providing them enough nutrition before passing in the gut. And like Kaysee said, supplement them with fiber based fresh fruits instead. Just remember they don't need a lot of fiber, just a little.

[@hopefultraveler3543]

Peanut butter!! Great video, Munchie, hope Butterscotch is doing well! Hope you are also doing well! It can be so frustrating finding not only a diagnosis but also a treatment plan, so I send you lots of best wishes for success in your health goals!

[@ccb9957]

My hamster was a biter and always chewed bars. But then I watched your videos, got him a bin cage and now he's a friendly ball of fluff🥰

[@ronclark9724]

Amazing how much just a larger enclosure will do... The GREEDY and NASTY pet companies selling and manufacturing tiny toy cages for kids should be ashamed of themselves... We shouldn't have to DIY a lid of a plastic storage bin, the pet companies should be selling and manufacturing them... That is, if they actually cared about the pets they sell...

[@ccb9957]

@@ronclark9724 We found out later that the pet store sold him when he was too young to be sold too:(

[@teijaflink2226]

That's awesome to hear how you can chance his life and making him happier and friendlier just with a bigger cage. So definitely something for people to try out if they have problems with their hamster.

Peanut butter

[@TheFatRatChannel]

Naw, he's adorable. I recently adopted an 'aggressive' rat who had apparently left his owners with substantial bite marks. He's been nothing but a huge teddy bear so far, minus some terrified squeaks if we go to close to his face when handling him. I'm sure his 'aggression' had nothing at all to do with his missing toe or the felt tip pen all over his tail.

[@michellet.787]

i love the comparison you show at 18:30 of the difference of the two wheels! i think its convincing to parents to see the difference, while the hamster is inside it moving around.

I'm in a UK hamster group on facebook, and someone posted how they made a popsicle stick bridge for their hamster and their foot got caught and ripped the foot off (she showed pictures and warned us not to use them) and since then, I wont use popsicle sticks with my hamster. It was awful.

[@torismyth6975]

How horrifying, I would have totally lost it, their feet are very fragile as they're so nice so very important to check that their feet don't stick.

If you apply a little loctite (blue not the red) to the threads of the screw it will not come off until you take it off. I have the orange wheel and it fixed it. If you use the red threadlock ,you can not remove it. Scotch is a great name for him.

Hey peanut-butter! Love your videos munchie! I have been disabled for years and I have finally been diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos syndrome. If you are having multiple medical issues that seem unrelated it’s could possibly be symptoms of a disorder. Lupus, EDS, and fibromyalgia are all commonly ignored or not understood! I know you don’t want to talk about it which I totally understandable ! But I hope this information can possibly help get out of so many different doctors offices.

[@kahlie1175]

Hey! Love your videos!! Do you think maybe you could make a video sometime about the different kinds of wheels and sizes, which ones you do or don't recommend, and what's appropriate for who (dwarf v syrian)? I know you've talked about it a little across several videos but I think it would be a neat video just on its own 🙂

[@darthtaiter]

Butterscotch might be his name but he is almost precisely the color of Peanut Butter and I think Skippy would be a great alternative name.

Have you ever considered getting a paper shredder and shredding your own bedding? It takes some time, but rolls of craft paper (and newspaper for under layers of animals that don’t burrow) are way cheaper than CareFresh. It’s saved us hundreds of dollars with our piggies. Crosscut shredders work best! Might not work for everyone, but it’s working great for our family! 🙂
