Hi

[@nuthenry2]

That cage that is 'Ideal for hamster' is horrifying

[@theboiyouddate5722]

I love that the only thing she wanted was her wheel! That's so cute, after finding the perfect home, she still wants the wheel. Even going on long trecks for it, amazing.

[@Fazwick]

I remember reading a study about hamster wheel. Something about pet hamster need toys like the wheel to be active in captivity, while wild ones don't because they have enough enrichment and exercise. Turns out when they put hamster wheel outside, wild mice often stops by for a run. (also frogs and slugs somehow). They first put food nearby to bait the mice to the area, but after removing the food, they still come to play every now and then.

[@diegoarevalo1508]

Hi

[@TheTimedCarbGuy]

Our mice were the same. Totally loving their wheels 😂😅

[@bridgerborsheim6275]

fun fact: mice and hamsters like running in wheels. people put wheels in the wild and they preferred to running on the wheel to running in the wild

[@MaggiePies]

Yeah I prefer a treadmill too😂😂

[@Sogmabolz]

Crazy how instincts just tell an animal what to do, makes you wonder how its possible for all that information and skill to be in a brain that has never experienced such stimuli

[@watermelon5521]

A suprising moment! The hamster didn't mysteriously die in a brutal way!

[@DasAlternativeEnde]

yet.

[@nil_idkk]

It wont, trust me. They instinct is suprising... Hamsters are much more brutal than they look...

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Labeling that as "ideal for hamsters" should be illegal. Great video, again I don't know how you are able to film half of these shots.. yeah that doesn't really say much because I'm not the smartest but I do know filming and editing this is very very hard!

Honestly so emotional the way she would go all the way from the container to her cage just to run on her wheel

[@whyareyoutaggingmeha]

You're one of the only creators I watch no matter how long it takes to upload , keep up the quality content , love your love for wildlife !

[@nil_idkk]

Did you keep her? She's adorable. If you did and you want to make her life better, change the wheel for the bigger one (at least 20cm in diameter). I almost cried when I saw her going into the tank. Thats so sad that that many hamsters have to live like that in those small cages without ability to dig, with too small wheels what is really bad for they backbone, and with chemical food withous any seeds and protein (its like we were eating only fast food the whole life). Tysm for your hard work, you made her life so much better.

[@TheDrPlants]

Don’t worry! I absolutely switched out her wheel for a bigger one

Best video about hamsters hands down. We know so little about animals we deem to call our "pets" and claim we "own".

[@nil_idkk]

actually if you have good source... I mean for example I knew everything but thats only bc Im a rodent psycho

[@axeelite0]

That plastic cage from Tiny Tales isn’t suitable for hamsters as you saw. It's best to use a glass or proper wire cage with plenty of space for them to move around comfortably, at least 450 square inches of floor space. For bedding, avoid cedar or pine as they can harm hamsters. Instead, opt for paper-based bedding like Carefresh or aspen shavings. Make sure to provide a wheel that's at least 8 inches in diameter for proper exercise, and a hiding spot for them to feel secure. I use a wooden wheel that’s gentle on their feet. Proper ventilation and regular cleaning are also essential for their health! Tho, using a plastic cage temporarily while you're cleaning a larger cage or like you did Dr Plants, it can be fine for short periods. *Just wanted to write this on here, cya.*

im so happy that you got her a bigger cage!

[@Gigachadd2020]

Never thought I would be so deeply invested in a hamsters quest but here I am

[@cap5856]

When scientists put a hamster wheel in the wild, they discovered that mice and other similar animals enjoyed running on it, even though they have the entirety of nature to run though and not hit a glass wall. I’m not surprised Karen likes the wheel 😁

[@AnythingForSouls]

That's what has always bothered me with chain pet stores they tend to sell tiny cages hamsters are used to traveling miles every night before coming back to the burrow it really doesn't give them the space they need. Its the same for fish they give you a tiny tank and overload it with fish and they all die within a week

[@TTGuyBm]

WOW! What a video! Showed that even hamsters can live in enclosures like that. LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS! Keep it up!

[@OathOFtheShadows2015]

This was INCREDIBLE, you have OUTDONE yourself Dr. Plants!!!! This is so RARE to see a domestic animal to become the ULTIMATE HUNTER! Just for a feedback: HAMSTERS LOVE TO RUN, so having a wheel it is a MUST.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Awesome video Dr Plants! The ending was hilarious 🤣 Sometimes it's the simple things in life...

[@KingRex1993]

Thus is honestly one of the coolest experiments yet But I was hoping for a more natural ecosystem instead of grass

[@TheDrPlants]

Thank you! I didn’t want to go overkill as this is her first time in a bioactive setup. I could possibly do a followup video in the future where I create a more detailed build

[@D8-32]

[@MaggiePies]

About damn time you uploaded!! 😂🙌🏾 Sidebar: i didn't know hamsters ate bugs🤔. I thought they just dug for seeds.

[@Minty1337]

you can take the hamster out of the wheel, but you cant take the wheel out of the hamster.

[@Cloudy.aestetic]

I thought that was a Robo dwarf at least you know how to take care of one :) but big tanks and bedding are essential I recommend mealworms foraged around the cage Karen is so cute btw! It was like seeing nature 🌿🍃 but in a video inside ❤

Did they really tell u that this first cage is perfect for hamsters and mice??? 🤡🤡🤡🤡 I feel so sorry for animals living like that... BTW I love the video and the idea, I love rodents edit: It's not a russian hamster... It's a hybrid bc its from pet store. Animals from pet stores are from puppy mills, where they live in horrible conditions and being treated like shit :((

[@piagebot2943]

I work at petsmart and never recommend those cages. If someone wants to purchase it to get a hamster i won’t sell it to them! Some places do, but usually we get support from management not to! If you want to give your hamsters protein without getting real worms or roaches I always recommend dried mealworms. Giving a couple a day is perfect

[@NotAwestruck]

I hate to say this but the cage you bought was not ideal

[@CritterHighlights]
