​@@VictoriaRaechel hi! I'm own 4 hamsters, and I'm always watching your videos for some advice, I recently had baby winter white tiger hamsters, and magically the mama gave birth to 2 argente , they are 1 months now, ( I have a golden hamster, two new breeds of argente, and a creme coloured baby syrian, ) The syrian hamster is called Daisy, she is new, and my first syrian, maybe some tips?

[@saraemmer1576]

I had been wanting a hamster for the longest time after having owned Syrian hamsters with improper care in my childhood. I wanted to do research and stumbled upon your channel. Victoria, you have taught me SO much! I just rescued my Syrian hamster, Hamtaro, from my local shelter yesterday and am happy to say she is going to finally have a happy, healthy rest of her life and it is thanks to you!

[@houseoftoffee6910]

I have a hybrid dwarf 4 month old. I really prefer dwarf hams because of how small they are. I find it so much easier and fun to make fun setups. My current setup has a small mountain of broken cork rounds and she loves it.

[@OG_Jam]

i also prefer dwarf hammies, i love them all but my hybrid dwarf is the tamest hamster i have ever owned like ive owned multiple syrians and none of them really like being held/interacted with. but my hybrid hammy will run up to me and sit in my hand (or on my foot when she's in her playpen) all day 😂 i just find it funny because i remember when i got her i was told i wouldnt be able to interact with her or hold her because she wouldnt like being held and she would be too fast and i was told to get a syrian because it would be calmer and would love all the attention yet my syrian hamsters try and leap out of my hand whenever they choose to come out 🤣

[@PackAdventures]

Syrians are cuter tho

[@Maybe_M.]

@@PackAdventuresi would say they are both cute :)

[@PackAdventures]

@@Maybe_M. yes I agree! They are both so adorable! 🥰 I think Syrians are a little bit cuter in the face tho. 😉

[@NanieKhor]

@@PackAdventuresyes. Their face look different

[@jbryant.roofing]

Im 10 years old and im getting a hamster for christmas, i never knew hamster balls were bad. I knew i would of got a small cage with a small bedding place with no hideouts and sand baths. The hamster i want to get is a Syrian hamster with the spots and naming it sponge or peanut! Thanks so so so much for this advice❤

[@Kuro_Reaper]

I had Syrians my whole life; but everything changed when I rescued my first Robo. The complete oposite of a Syrian personality wise. Fell in love with them and after he passed I rescued another. I am currently owned by 1 Syrian and 1 Robo, they couldn't be any more different from eachother. My Syrian girl Hazel is like a puppy; begging to come out and eat food with me. But my Robo is very much "leave me alone" and appart from maybe allowing me to pet him in his enclosure while he eats, he would much rather be zooming around and wheeling. I absolutely love watching Robos, they are so funny and interesting but so freaking cute too. I don't mind having a mostly hands off Robo because I feel like spending the time to gain their trust is really rewarding.

[@rachaelcapper1297]

I have a hands off robo too, hes just not a fan of being touched, it's fine, I'm perfectly content to watch him in his enclosure x

[@VictoriaRaechel]

It definitely can work for some! But when I'm given such tiny amounts of meds with no extras it's not something I like to risk wasting 🥲

[@SweetyHelen92]

Interesting! I'd love to own a winter white, I love robos too but they are too fast for me and I want a pet I can cuddle after the taming process 😂 I've never owned a hamster so while the day comes I better learn everything about them

[@bendz_editz]

Hi Victoria! You may not read this but I really appreciate what you have done. You have made me upgrade and care more about my hamsters well being. I am now giving him a bigger cage and wheel. You have encouraged me to care more about his well being and can’t thank you enough for what you do :)

[@VictoriaRaechel]

I'm so happy my channel has been able to help you improve your care! ❤️

[@bershelleparks5035]

Im 33 and just got my first hamster recently (I've had gerbils, rats, and mice in the past but not hamsters). My teenage daughter's friend was rehoming hers after 2 months of having him. I was on the fence (I had zero plans of adding a pet) until I saw him... He was in a 10 gallon tank without a lid, with one hide, maybe an inch of bedding, no chews, no food debris in the soiled bedding, a 4 inch wheel (he's a golden Syrian)... He was never given a name either 🫤 I immediately said yes and got his enclosure and supplies ready in a day and picked him up. He's now my little guy; I named him Rupert. (Like from Family Guy lol) He loves to be talked to, he is so curious, and likes to come out around 10-11. He's incredibly interactive and loves to burrow in his now nice deep bedding with hidden hides and tunnels, and run on his new big wheel ☺️ he also has enjoyed a small sample of fresh basil, thyme, almonds, cucumber, hard boil egg, and freeze dried pear. I'm slightly nocturnal thanks to health issues so him and I will have plenty of time together 😂 I think he's around 4 months old so I'm hoping hes around for a while. I am also picking up a DJ Dwarf in a few days. I have named him after Pascal from Rapunzel. (Sidekick names from cartoons is evidently my theme here 😂) I'm a happy hammy mom ❤ They are definitely an underrated little buddy to have...

[@VictoriaRaechel]

Poor guy! I bet he's so happy to have ended up in your care! 🥰 Hamster's can be such amazing pets for the right people!

[@bershelleparks5035]

@@VictoriaRaechel I hope he's happy, I'm no expert but learning more and more. They are very interesting little creatures. He seems pleased and likes interacting which is very rewarding.

[@jasandraholmes5157]

That's awesome! I just got my first ever hamster too, as an adult. I spend time hanging by his big ol bincage and watch himself race around and burrow and use his wheel and dig in his sand box. Hamsters are so fun when they have the right environment!

[@allykatt1908]

That’s awesome I got a black Syrian hamster named lucky 🍀 was for my daughter but I’m more financially taking care of him …I love that we got him a new cage and he loves it …for some reason we thought we was gone but he was hiding in his bedding I found him when I seen his little nose poke out saying hey I’m here ladies 😂❤

[@lilymenayi8203]

I started watching your videos when my mice died and I started considering getting a hamster. Now, as of January 12th I found myself with a Syrian and a Winter White after I took them in from 2 different families (literally got one yesterday and one today) who were rehoming them for their own reasons (the Syrian after a bunch of people who showed interest never showed up). I'm so excited about this new journey. I still have to upgrade their enclosures and it will take me a little bit of time, but I'm committed to giving them the best life I can possibly give them, and I'll even have to get rid of a good portion of my plants to make space for the Syrian's cage. I'm glad I found your channel ^^

[@Equestrianshorts]

I own a robo hamster! My first ever hamster. He LOVES to burrow. It's his favorite thing. Possibly more than his sandbags or wheel. He's so fun! Especially when he gets zoomies and runs laps around the bincage (stopping briefly for a wheel interlude). Hamsters are fascinating.

[@tiffanyforester6432]

Very informative. Thank you! Always enjoy learning from you. I have an all-white Syrian hamster named Cujo (yes, like from Stephen King). He got his name from biting directly into a vein in my finger during our first week together, causing a lot of bleeding. All is well now; we have an understanding that I will not try to pick him up. He now flattens his body and closes his eyes peacefully when being pet, and enjoys getting his daily Puff snack by hand.

No idea of age or sex yet, but they're already super happy with a big cage, they arrived in a tiny one! I'm calling him a he so far, until i can get close enough to tell, I wont try to pick him up for a few days but he was immediately happy to let me hand feed him, & stroke his head at the same time...he's so soft!!

Hi Victoria, I don't know if you will see this, but I need your help. So I just got a hamster and bought EVERYTHING for him, and my mom said in order to have the hamster I need to keep my room clean (I'm 13 by the way.) , which I do but she says it looks horrible. Also, I have a brother who is two years older than me, and knows nothing about hamsters but loves mine. That's okay, if he knows how to pick him up and be gentle with him, but he is SO ROUGH with him. Today I saw him up so I took the lid off my enclosure to say hi. My brother saw me open the lid and came in there while he was in his sand bath and snatched him out of his sand bath! Since he wasn't holding him right, he jumped out of his hands and almost fell to the ground but he caught him (it's still not okay though). So I was already mad, so I yelled at him, and my mom says I don't even deserve a hamster! Oh, I'm not done yet, when I told him to put him back he tossed him back into the enclosure! I'm a senstive person when It comes to my animals, like I'll cry when my fish die (don't worry I got a ten gallon tank for my betta fish), so I was holding back tears at this point, and all my brother said was "He's fine! It's a soft landing!" But I know that was probably so stressful for him. PLEASE HELP PLEASE :(

[@ratsika3]

Do you have a vid somewhere of an appropriate balanced diet for a Syrian? I watched the 'safe foods' vid so I have a list, but I'm wondering about ratios. Seeds: fresh veg: fruit? In the 'daily hamster care' vid, it looks like about 1T grains and a small bowl of greens /day. Do you feed any commercial kibble at all? Do you make your own grain /seed mix?

[@VictoriaRaechel]

I don't think there is really a ratio of how much you should give each! most people supplement veggies along side seed mix anywhere from daily to 2-3 times a week!

In the past, I had a male Syrian hamster, Speedy. After he passed, I had a female Syrian hamster that I named Dalia. She was really sweet. My past dwarf hamsters were Chipper, Ruby, and Petunia. Now, I have 4 dwarf boys: Moe, Larry, Curly, and Shemp. I adopted the 4 boys from the shelter. Two sets of brothers. I was told that they were bonded and could co-exist in the same habitat. So I placed them in one large enclosure, and I kept my eye on them. Initially, it was adorable seeing all 4 together. They looked like toddlers in a playground. However, I ended up separating them as I noticed fights, nothing major, but it was worrisome enough to separate them. So now, each have their own enclosures. I also knew that separating them would be a possibility, so I was prepared.

Hi Victoria! I have a question about rabbits. I have a rabbit that's going to be 4 years old this April. I'm looking for healthy things to feed him. What are some herbs I can give to Clover, my rabbit, that I can just store in a jar in my room? And are herbs like a treat to rabbits? If so, how do I feed him the herbs? Can I hand feed him, like a treat, or can I just sprinkle it ontop of his food?

There's quite a variety you can feed! rabbit.org/care/fruits-vegetables/

@@VictoriaRaechel Thank you so much. I do have one more question... What type of dry herbs do you feed your rabbits?

I have a question, is it ok if your hamster bit you but you were wearing a plastic glove and it didnt bleed?

I have a syrian. When i picked him up from the animal shelter i saw a round rough patch and was worried he had a fungal infection. I was with a volunteer who didn't know anything about hamsters and her eyes got wide and she panicked and was like omg come wash your hands. Do you want a different hamster? . i was like no i want him I'm not sure that's what it is. Is someone else here? After she left the room i saw the same thing on the other side and was like ok that's too symmetrical for it to be random so i googled it. I felt so silly.

With my third hamster when I noticed them I was so panicked! It's honestly a common mistake when first owning hamsters!
