I'm curious. When you rehome these buddies how do you make sure (as much as you reasonably can) that people who respond to the ad are going to continue providing good care? I imagine it must feel a little anxiety-inducing to try and find that perfect home.
Munchie: I am soo soo sorry. I had previously let you know that I would be donating to your amazon wishlist and I wanted to do so as soon as possible. I quickly realized that I was not actually able to because u had no money but I now have about $40 and was wondering if you would prefer me to continue saving and buy you that $60 cage. I have no problem doing this as I make it a personal goal to donate about $100 to animal shelters / foster homes. Please just let me know what you would prefer that I buy!
It's totally fine if you don't. You don't need to but if you want to, we could use another cage. And also we need more bedding. But we can buy bin cages too. 🐹
Hey so I know that someone who knows what to do can read this and help me. I have a big Syrian hamster who looks a lot like the one in this video, and she is huge! I’m 13 and she is the size of my hole freaking hand! The problem with this, is that my local petsmart, (and all other pet stores around me) don’t sell big enough wheels. And she doesn’t use her wheel because her current one is too small. I can’t find any wheels on the internet that are affordable, (because once again I’m 13) and I really want to help her because I love her so much and deeply care about her. Like Hershey, she is a chunky girl and I’m worried about her health. If anyone knows what to do please tell me!
That is some warped sense of love you have there. If the owner was under feeding her because she thought she "looked healthier" you wouldn't be saying the same....
Karen Russell ikr but in a video on the channel Erin’s animals she has to drill a hole in the built in wardrobe in her rented apartment because her hamster escapes and hides in there but in the end the hamster just comes out the bottom 😂
I'm so happy that she did care about her hamster going to good home and being safe with you until finds a forever family xxx glad some het baby's made sad that others didn't but glad she is happy now xxx
This may seem odd but do you think that black and white hamsters may be genetically predisposed to weight issues? Two of my rescues that are this colour have been very over weight, even whilst on the same diet as my hamsters that are a normal weight. I may sound stupid but just thought it was interesting x
It's weird how you brought that up. Cause my last black and white hamster did have organ failure from what the vets said and she was a heavy gal. But I think just in general pet store hamsters are always going to be prone to extremely bad genetics.
4 of my recent hamsters (All Blackish / Brown Color ) died Within a month with the vet saying they had a weight issue, even though I fed them the same amount and food of my Cream/Orange Syrian And Dwarves
This is very interesting! I’m in a few hamster rescue groups and I’ve seen this topic pop up before. Black or brown banded Syrians (especially females) trend to be much bigger than other colourations, despite a good diet and access to exercise. I wish there was more research in this area. It’s definitely something to do with genetics
I think the thing is with dogs, I'd get so attached since dogs follow you around 24/7. I'd love all the animals I rescue, of course, but I've always had a soft spot for my dogs, so maybe dogs after I get past cats+rodents.
I have 2 beautiful Syrians that live in separate 55 gallon tanks and they are happy and healthy, I rescued both of them, I am so happy you rescue like me
How many qts is a 55 gallon bin? I'm making bin cages for my 2 hamsters and many people don't say how many gallons or qts you need for it to be big enough
I work in a small pet shop ( nO petsmart or petco, we take great care of our animals ) more so a rescue, we also take in animals depending the situation- and recently we took in a female Syrian and she’s GORGEOUS. she’s white with grey spots and ruby red eyes. I would love to have her but then I saw an ad- someone housing two Syrians in a critter trail and of course, us rescuers, have to think about the hamsters in need first. This gorgeous hamster has the option to find an amazing home and is in a way better setup vs these ones on the ad who need urgent care. Also- I am currently looking to purchase some storage racks for my little rescues - they really do work great!
OMG I LOVE HERSHEY!!!! I love all Hamsters and animals!!! Currently, I have 2 Guinea Pigs and 1 Hamster!!! I am wondering if you could tell me where you got the like rack carts you have their habitats on and what the name of them are?? If I knew where to find them and all it could really come in handy for some space issues I foresee happening... I know the chances of getting a response is probably slim, but I must try anyway... Keep doing what you're doing!!! #AWESOME
Hi my sweetness, could you post a video of how you do your hamster health checks, including weighting, there’s a lot of hamster owners that don’t know to check them and would be very helpful xx
I have taken in turtles, cats, and ferrets. However, I try to not collect too many pets in a small apartment and tend to give animals away to caring, interested, respectful, and responsible students. Sometimes my classroom collects animals for periods of time.
Pyometra does not mean inflamed uterus it means “pus filled uterus” :) Metritis is the word that refers to inflammation of the uterine wall & endometritis means inflammation of the functional lining. I’m glad Hersey has you! ❤️
I’m noticing these “bin” cages are very popular in the US. Do they not smell rancid due to complete lack of ventilation? And are s few tiny holes in the lid really enough for hammy to breathe?
Oh my days... She is the most beautiful hamster I have seen in a very long time 😍. If I wasn't halfway across the world I would have her in a heartbeat!
Black and white Syrians have to be my favorite. My very first hamster I adopted from a shelter was black/white. Hershey is so adorable! I admire you and your work so much.
Hershey is sooooo cu-......I'm hungry now! Lol ok in all seriousness she is adorable and I love what you have done for her and all others you own! Keep it up xxx🤣❤
Hey munchie !!!!! What would you recommend for a beginner?? I was thinking of a storage container with the bars 😁 I WAS going to get the tiny tales rocket cage but I watched your video and said ok not gonna get that so ya
So don't buy cedar bedding, and fluffy nesting material, they're bad, and if you're on a budget, you can make DIY bin cage, (you can watch Muncie's or Victoria Raechel's videos to know how to do it) and if not, you can have an aquarium enclosure (the minimum size is 450 sq inches, but people recommend much more) wheels with bars are not good either For food you have to get high variety, the protein content has to be around 17-19%, the fiber has to be 6-15%, and the fat content has to be 4-7% Generally dwarf hamsters are agressive towards each other, so please don't put in cagemates the same gender And also for food, they eat like two large spoons (idk what they are called) They need sandbaths, but don't use dust, but chincilla sand or heat treated childrens playsand (if is it not heat treated, then put it in the oven for a while, also please sift the playsand) They can have rodent drinking bottles, but drinking trays are better, because they can't hold much water, so you can change it once a day, and they're much more sanitary Also put in a wariety of chew toys in the cage, so it can wear down it's teeth And put more wooden toys and accesories and hides in it, if you don't already, hamsters like tunnels, so put in a wooden, plastic, or toilet paper roll tunnel Carefresh and Clean and cozy are good paper beddings, and silent spinners and wodent wheels are great wheels, but if you have a syrian, they will need 8 to 11 inch wheels, and if their back hunches, then upgrade to a bigger wheel And check their health (Victoria Raechel's video will help you) And don't forget to give it/them lots of care and love! Sorry my english not my native language, i'm still learning it, so don't be too harsh on my writing
Angelinaaa W it’s very easy lol My 2 gerbils Tom and jerry , my hamsters mama, autumn, diamond, rascal, Picard , Toby , John , my dog Baxter , my Pacman frog buttercup , my 2 parakeets lemon and lime , my mice hank, spot, algernon
At first I saw Syrians in the cage behind you and I thought they were adults, so I started freaking out haha. And then I remembered you are fostering little baby Syrians. Oops haha
Is there a way to kinda show your hamster how to use those plate wheels or do they just know? I'm asking because I bought one for my rats as appropriately sized wheels wouldn't fit in their cage and they never even tried to use it
i got a hamster 5 days ago and i came into my room like 30 minutes ago and found him dead. 😭i dont even know how i know i cared for him right and i spent months researching before i got one
Hi munchie!!! I was wondering what shelfs/ racks u have your bins on in the back ground? And what are the measurements? Thanks and I love your videos ❤
My hamster died last week but I am adopting another one this week, so I bought the zoo zone 2 cage and I am getting a Syrian but should I mesh the top as the bar spacing is like 2cm? Will the Syrian fit through that?
I have an overweight robo hamster. He only has treats once a week, he loves running on his wheel, and I only feed him again when all his food is gone. He’s not REEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAALLLLY overweight but he still is so I need help. Any tips? Not only from munchies place from anyone willing to give me advice. Thank you!
Shes a big cutie😍 I also have one syrian girl and also 2 dwarf ladies. Plus many other animals. Im really in love with my hamsters, even tho one of my dwarfs I nearly never see because she loves to burrow🤣 my syrian is chill and starts to like to come play with me and fooooood. And my other dwarf loooves people, she always is ready to get out on you and eun around and loves cuddles❤️
Amazon have 11” wheels that are usually £17/£20 for £8.99 for prime members right now if anyone is looking for a deal. I ordered one for my new hammie last night, it’ll be here tomorrow :)
Hi my first male syrian had bulging sides, what do u think he had? (He passed a while back, I'm just curious) edit: I also give my hamster peanuts for treats. He loves to shell unsalted peanuts!
Thank you so much for making all these videos about Syrians! I have a Syrian myself and it's so hard to buy items for my little boy and it always scares me, thinking how many unhappy Syrian hamsters are out there.
I've decided to take in one hamster at a time that couldn't find a home. At the moment i have Clover. She is very overweight and 1.5 - 2 years old so nobody wanted her.
Can someone help me with ideas for a hamster name for a girl. I like human names , my faviroute being ‘rosie’ but I’m not sure if that’s the name I 100% like. I don’t like non- human names if that makes sense like nibbles Or cinnamon so preferably if anyone has any human names that would be good xx Edit: it’s for a Syrian (don’t know if that makes any difference haha)
Ohmygoodness, she is a twin to my late hammie, Bella. Wish I knew where you were located and could adopt her because I most definitely would. Bella was quite the chubbs as well. And thank you for all you do for all these lil "guys". 😊
I live in an apt and if my landlord told me Id have to get rid of my hamster...I'd be packing my stuff and going right along with my hammy...Thank u for taking hersery and giving her a good life..she's a cutie
The food u saw I’m pretty sure is called Daily Blend, but I also know from a TH-cam video that Daily Blend is very low on protein so I’m glad you didn’t use it because everyone always wants best for your hamster.
Aww she's cute... Sounds like a good owner that really cared about Hershey, shame she couldn't keep her but I'm sure with you she will find a great new home really soon :)
I have a question. So my mom bought me a Syrian hamster month ago. It's a girl. Basically she never gave her trust to me. I never ever touch her. I try to pick her up when I need to clean her cage but she always rans away or bits me if I do catch her. When I accidentally drop a pen or something small near her cage she always like jumps. When I pick her up I try to calm her down, but she keeps on trembling and her eyes like pop out. I don't know what to do.. I don't want her to hate me. What should I do?
It’s sad how many people get pets and don’t keeps them I’m glad this person gave them a big cage just people really need to think we’re there gonna be in the future for there animals
Hi I have a Syrian hamster (long haired) and she just seems really fat but I don’t have a weighing scales for her, is there any way I could tell if she’s overweight?
Yes I would rather walk on a rocky path.. I grew up walking on a lime rock road..barefoot.. And I loved it. And the green wheel looks like it was a part to a salad washer/ drainer.. Like the ones the spin inside of the solid bowl to get the water off.
Loved the video. I'm on my 3rd Syrian and he's by far the most active and funny one. At 2 months, they have a ton of energy . I bought him at a Petland store but I feel like it was a rescue because the conditions are not great for them there. Of course, he had no wheel or sand bath. I saw him take his first sand bath not long after he was put into his new duplex and it was SO cute. Poor thing must have been feeling mighty dirty. It's just sad that they have such a short lifespan.
I do too however i'm stopping my intakes for awhile due to real life issues and helping my parents out. I don't think i'll be in taking anymore till next year. Molly has still not been adopted and we have a lot of failed or flaked out applications so the adoption rate has slowed down. We try to keep a balance here of intakes vs surrenders and right now Hershey and 10 others will be the last recent intakes till mostly everyone has found a home.
Yes it is definitely understandable why you can’t take anymore hamsters in. I do hope you can find your hamsters lovely homes and I wish you the best of luck 👍
My hamster recently died due to old age. She lived a long 3 years. It makes me happy to see these videos! They show that people still care about hamsters and dont just think that they are toys for kids. I love your videos!
I had that cage for my hamster as a travel cage because my hamster was a fat but short hamster so the 6.5 inch wheel was great for overnight things, as well as the food bowl, water bottle, and Aspen bedding that came with. It was fairly cheap and had some nice stuff that came with it so I bought it for a travel cage. Dont worry my hamsters actual cage is a large bin.
There is unfortunately a hamster at a local pet store that is even chunkier than Hershey. I unfortunately can not take in a hamster at the moment 🙁 but she at last has a 40 gallon breeder. She has a super small wheel and no toys :( I feel sorry for her
Hershey kinda looks like my hamster Callie, but my hamster has more white and she has tan. She kinda looks like a calico cat so that's how my hamster got her name
hi so i recently bought a russian dwarf hamster and what i have for him is a 6 inch well and i put in about 6 inches or so of fluff and i have some toys what else should i get though i have a water bottle a change eats the food of corse but he seems un happy
What a cutie, she looks like a real cuddlebug! I've heard of pedigree female Syrians reaching up to 300 grams, so I'm actually not shocked that this little girlie is 230 haha. Although I do have to agree that she's "a big and chunky gal" lol! P.S. Thanks for everything you do for the forgotten and mistreated hammies of Craigslist. Too often, people see them as throw-away pets, and it warms my heart to see how much time, dedication, and love you put into these guys' lives!
You're welcome. I'm glad people are enjoying the rescues and me talking about fostering and these guys. I'm glad they're getting the attention they need cause this helps change people's minds about homeless pets.
Hello! I loved your video, but I’ve come to an issue. My friend wanted to adopt a hamster, so I thought looking on Craigslist would be a good way. (By the way don’t worry I’ve done tons of research about my hamster, and hers) but when I went on there I saw so many dwarfs in such terrible situations. When I saw all of this I freaked out and told my teacher who saves animals. So far she’s saved 2 bunnies, 4 rats, and I believe a hamster. She contacted her group of people who save animals, and none of them could take them in. I’m not sure what to do. I wanted to take them but I don’t have enough money for it and my dad doesn’t really like to have a ton of hamsters in the house. Advice?
Someone else will probably come along and give them a good life. If you're not financially prepared to take them on & your parents say no, then you would just be putting more stress and stain on yourself and that's irresponsible for the hamsters sake. You can try to help out by spreading awareness like you did with your teacher and posting it in local groups on FB where someone may want to take them, but i would suggest not taking them and letting someone else come in and take them. They will eventually get adopted by someone if no one you know steps in.

I respect Hershey’s old owner, she obviously cared about her hamster and tried to give her a good life ❤️
Quite true
That is some warped sense of love you have there. If the owner was under feeding her because she thought she "looked healthier" you wouldn't be saying the same....
@@Rhiannon041 she was trying to give her the best life :/
@@Rhiannon041 she probably would say the same lol, at least is the same logic
What a mean landlord. A little hamster is not going to cause any damage to the property. I'd be heartbroken if that happened to me.
Karen Russell ikr but in a video on the channel Erin’s animals she has to drill a hole in the built in wardrobe in her rented apartment because her hamster escapes and hides in there but in the end the hamster just comes out the bottom 😂
@@anyaburniston4765 if her hamster escapes the cage is to small because if it tries to escape it’s not very happy
I have birds and I would be devastated! OMG that would be so sad
Erins Animals is a good channel for animal care .
@@g1raffe893 no? just search her up before talking
Yayyyy more hamsters!?!?! Honestly your room must be like the tardis from doctor who, looks small but is massive on the inside
Awww Hershey is so cute! Also i love the new hair color!
I've never kept a hamster before, but the passion you have for these animals is amazing, and I appreciate them the more I watch your channel.
I'm so happy that she did care about her hamster going to good home and being safe with you until finds a forever family xxx glad some het baby's made sad that others didn't but glad she is happy now xxx
I would move out my house to keep my hamster I actually love him so much.
(I’m not judging her AT ALL btw)
This may seem odd but do you think that black and white hamsters may be genetically predisposed to weight issues?

Munchie's Place Most likely, yes. It’s just so strange! Especially when my other rescues (presumably pet shop bred) have had almost no weight issues
4 of my recent hamsters (All Blackish / Brown Color ) died Within a month with the vet saying they had a weight issue, even though I fed them the same amount and food of my Cream/Orange Syrian And Dwarves

Thank god Hershey's old owner actually cared about her. You don't see that happen a lot now a days.
Awwwww.... Me and my brother have a two robo dwarfs in separate habitats named Snowball and Hershey
Cateract37 Cateract37 Wow! My Pearl pudding winter white dwarf hammy is named Snowball!!😁😁
Nabila Puteri Pearl pudding?
Hershey is so adorable! One of my rats is also named Hershey, so I guess it’s a common name!
Aww little hershey🐹 I'm glad she's with you now
I really want to do a whole rehome/foster thing when I move out into a bigger home for cats and rodents alike.
I'm gonna do this with dogs and potentially guinea pigs in the next year ❤️
I think the thing is with dogs, I'd get so attached since dogs follow you around 24/7. I'd love all the animals I rescue, of course, but I've always had a soft spot for my dogs, so maybe dogs after I get past cats+rodents.
I have 2 beautiful Syrians that live in separate 55 gallon tanks and they are happy and healthy, I rescued both of them, I am so happy you rescue like me
How many qts is a 55 gallon bin? I'm making bin cages for my 2 hamsters and many people don't say how many gallons or qts you need for it to be big enough
I work in a small pet shop ( nO petsmart or petco, we take great care of our animals ) more so a rescue, we also take in animals depending the situation- and recently we took in a female Syrian and she’s GORGEOUS. she’s white with grey spots and ruby red eyes.

She's not fat she's fluffy
XD
OMG I LOVE HERSHEY!!!! I love all Hamsters and animals!!! Currently, I have 2 Guinea Pigs and 1 Hamster!!! I am wondering if you could tell me where you got the like rack carts you have their habitats on and what the name of them are?? If I knew where to find them and all it could really come in handy for some space issues I foresee happening... I know the chances of getting a response is probably slim, but I must try anyway... Keep doing what you're doing!!! #AWESOME
Hershey looks like my lil hammie, except she's average weight
Hi my sweetness, could you post a video of how you do your hamster health checks, including weighting, there’s a lot of hamster owners that don’t know to check them and would be very helpful xx
I was just watching one of your videos. I love your channel and I hope you will be at petfest next year
How much floorspace is in the bin cage?? Because the minimum square inches of floor space is 450
I have taken in turtles, cats, and ferrets. However, I try to not collect too many pets in a small apartment and tend to give animals away to caring, interested, respectful, and responsible students. Sometimes my classroom collects animals for periods of time.
You should give her the last initial "P" for peanut. So her name could be Hershey P.
Pyometra does not mean inflamed uterus it means “pus filled uterus” :) Metritis is the word that refers to inflammation of the uterine wall & endometritis means inflammation of the functional lining. I’m glad Hersey has you! ❤️
I’m noticing these “bin” cages are very popular in the US. Do they not smell rancid due to complete lack of ventilation? And are s few tiny holes in the lid really enough for hammy to breathe?
Joely Ann Thorning most of the bin cages have between 50% and 80 % of the lid replaced with wire mesh to allow for ventilation!
They holding moisture.
FINALLY seeing someone who actually tries to look after their hamster. Big cage and actually caring
Oh my days... She is the most beautiful hamster I have seen in a very long time 😍. If I wasn't halfway across the world I would have her in a heartbeat!
For people that need a wheel
Chewy.com has 8.5 and 12in wheels for $9 or 12
Black and white Syrians have to be my favorite. My very first hamster I adopted from a shelter was black/white. Hershey is so adorable! I admire you and your work so much.
Hershey is sooooo cu-......I'm hungry now! Lol ok in all seriousness she is adorable and I love what you have done for her and all others you own! Keep it up xxx🤣❤
Hey munchie !!!!! What would you recommend for a beginner?? I was thinking of a storage container with the bars 😁 I WAS going to get the tiny tales rocket cage but I watched your video and said ok not gonna get that so ya
So don't buy cedar bedding, and fluffy nesting material, they're bad, and if you're on a budget, you can make DIY bin cage, (you can watch Muncie's or Victoria Raechel's videos to know how to do it) and if not, you can have an aquarium enclosure (the minimum size is 450 sq inches, but people recommend much more) wheels with bars are not good either
For food you have to get high variety, the protein content has to be around 17-19%, the fiber has to be 6-15%, and the fat content has to be 4-7%
Generally dwarf hamsters are agressive towards each other, so please don't put in cagemates the same gender
And also for food, they eat like two large spoons (idk what they are called)
They need sandbaths, but don't use dust, but chincilla sand or heat treated childrens playsand (if is it not heat treated, then put it in the oven for a while, also please sift the playsand)
They can have rodent drinking bottles, but drinking trays are better, because they can't hold much water, so you can change it once a day, and they're much more sanitary
Also put in a wariety of chew toys in the cage, so it can wear down it's teeth
And put more wooden toys and accesories and hides in it, if you don't already, hamsters like tunnels, so put in a wooden, plastic, or toilet paper roll tunnel
Carefresh and Clean and cozy are good paper beddings, and silent spinners and wodent wheels are great wheels, but if you have a syrian, they will need 8 to 11 inch wheels, and if their back hunches, then upgrade to a bigger wheel
And check their health (Victoria Raechel's video will help you)
And don't forget to give it/them lots of care and love!
Sorry my english not my native language, i'm still learning it, so don't be too harsh on my writing
hi
Munchie how in the world do you remember all of their names. Btw thank you so much for caring for hamsters that are neglected 🐹🙏💜💜💜
Angelinaaa W it’s very easy lol
My 2 gerbils Tom and jerry , my hamsters mama, autumn, diamond, rascal, Picard , Toby , John , my dog Baxter , my Pacman frog buttercup , my 2 parakeets lemon and lime , my mice hank, spot, algernon
She is so cute and I love the name.
At first I saw Syrians in the cage behind you and I thought they were adults, so I started freaking out haha. And then I remembered you are fostering little baby Syrians. Oops haha
It's a new surrendered litter, so there will be a surprise video hopefully In the near future.
Is there a way to kinda show your hamster how to use those plate wheels or do they just know? I'm asking because I bought one for my rats as appropriately sized wheels wouldn't fit in their cage and they never even tried to use it
Rats do and don't use wheels so your rats may not like wheels. For hamsters, it's just instinct somehow. They know what it is and get on them.
Love you ❤️
“It looks like a laundry basket”😂
First one I love u munchie!! Please pin this!! Xxxxx 💓💓😍😍❤️❤️💕💕💕👍😘😘😘😘😘

Hi munchie!!! I was wondering what shelfs/ racks u have your bins on in the back ground? And what are the measurements? Thanks and I love your videos ❤
I was wondering because I need racks to put my 40 gallon tanks on❤
That food looks like the Walmart brand I'm pretty sure it is 🙂 it's very unhealthy tho ❤️

If the hamster had been male, you could have named him "Mr. Goodbar", which is a Hershey bar with peanuts...

I've decided to take in one hamster at a time that couldn't find a home. At the moment i have Clover. She is very overweight and 1.5 - 2 years old so nobody wanted her.
Can someone help me with ideas for a hamster name for a girl. I like human names , my faviroute being ‘rosie’ but I’m not sure if that’s the name I 100% like. I don’t like non- human names if that makes sense like nibbles Or cinnamon so preferably if anyone has any human names that would be good xx
Edit: it’s for a Syrian (don’t know if that makes any difference haha)
Ohmygoodness, she is a twin to my late hammie, Bella. Wish I knew where you were located and could adopt her because I most definitely would. Bella was quite the chubbs as well. And thank you for all you do for all these lil "guys". 😊
I live in an apt and if my landlord told me Id have to get rid of my hamster...I'd be packing my stuff and going right along with my hammy...Thank u for taking hersery and giving her a good life..she's a cutie
The food u saw I’m pretty sure is called Daily Blend, but I also know from a TH-cam video that Daily Blend is very low on protein so I’m glad you didn’t use it because everyone always wants best for your hamster.
looks at round robo hamster that was round since birth.
me: are you overweight...?
236grams, Great Googly Moogly! That's HUGE!
Aww she's cute... Sounds like a good owner that really cared about Hershey, shame she couldn't keep her but I'm sure with you she will find a great new home really soon :)
I have a question.
So my mom bought me a Syrian hamster month ago.
It's a girl. Basically she never gave her trust to me. I never ever touch her. I try to pick her up when I need to clean her cage but she always rans away or bits me if I do catch her. When I accidentally drop a pen or something small near her cage she always like jumps.
When I pick her up I try to calm her down, but she keeps on trembling and her eyes like pop out.
I don't know what to do.. I don't want her to hate me.
What should I do?
It’s sad how many people get pets and don’t keeps them I’m glad this person gave them a big cage just people really need to think we’re there gonna be in the future for there animals
Hi I have a Syrian hamster (long haired) and she just seems really fat but I don’t have a weighing scales for her, is there any way I could tell if she’s overweight?
Yes I would rather walk on a rocky path.. I grew up walking on a lime rock road..barefoot.. And I loved it.
And the green wheel looks like it was a part to a salad washer/ drainer.. Like the ones the spin inside of the solid bowl to get the water off.
Loved the video. I'm on my 3rd Syrian and he's by far the most active and funny one. At 2 months, they have a ton of energy . I bought him at a Petland store but I feel like it was a rescue because the conditions are not great for them there. Of course, he had no wheel or sand bath. I saw him take his first sand bath not long after he was put into his new duplex and it was SO cute. Poor thing must have been feeling mighty dirty. It's just sad that they have such a short lifespan.
I absolutely love it when you take in hamsters ❤️
I do too however i'm stopping my intakes for awhile due to real life issues and helping my parents out. I don't think i'll be in taking anymore till next year. Molly has still not been adopted and we have a lot of failed or flaked out applications so the adoption rate has slowed down. We try to keep a balance here of intakes vs surrenders and right now Hershey and 10 others will be the last recent intakes till mostly everyone has found a home.
Yes it is definitely understandable why you can’t take anymore hamsters in. I do hope you can find your hamsters lovely homes and I wish you the best of luck 👍
my first hamsters name was hershey (like a hershey kiss because i thought she looked like the silver wrapper with her coat colour)
My hamster recently died due to old age. She lived a long 3 years. It makes me happy to see these videos! They show that people still care about hamsters and dont just think that they are toys for kids. I love your videos!
What a cutie ughhh I would really love to own a hamster :'(
I had that cage for my hamster as a travel cage because my hamster was a fat but short hamster so the 6.5 inch wheel was great for overnight things, as well as the food bowl, water bottle, and Aspen bedding that came with. It was fairly cheap and had some nice stuff that came with it so I bought it for a travel cage. Dont worry my hamsters actual cage is a large bin.
I would have moved. Mean landlord. Sometimes it's hard 😕 to find a new place though.
There is unfortunately a hamster at a local pet store that is even chunkier than Hershey. I unfortunately can not take in a hamster at the moment 🙁 but she at last has a 40 gallon breeder. She has a super small wheel and no toys :( I feel sorry for her
I love her, she is so cute.
Hershey kinda looks like my hamster Callie, but my hamster has more white and she has tan. She kinda looks like a calico cat so that's how my hamster got her name
Oh God, I think the cages you have can't get too much oxigen with those little holes. I think it would be better if you get a net.
This is perfect timing! I just got a rescue hamster of my own yesterday! Now I am up to two (:
Only 8 thumbs down girl that’s goooood!!!!!
just to clarify, are those adult syrian hamsters in that cage behind u during the ending.
hi so i recently bought a russian dwarf hamster and what i have for him is a 6 inch well and i put in about 6 inches or so of fluff and i have some toys what else should i get though i have a water bottle a change eats the food of corse but he seems un happy
I'm interested in buying a hamster how should one go about it?
her hamster kinda looks like mine I have right now his name is oreo though, he's my cutie,
What a sweet lil chub!!!! Thanks for caring ♡♡♡
I like the instant stories and hamsters that you are fostering right now find a good loving home
I got a really big wheel from chewy.com. The wheel is solid. I have a dorf hamster and she looks so tiny on this wheel.
What a cutie, she looks like a real cuddlebug! I've heard of pedigree female Syrians reaching up to 300 grams, so I'm actually not shocked that this little girlie is 230 haha. Although I do have to agree that she's "a big and chunky gal" lol!
P.S. Thanks for everything you do for the forgotten and mistreated hammies of Craigslist. Too often, people see them as throw-away pets, and it warms my heart to see how much time, dedication, and love you put into these guys' lives!
You're welcome. I'm glad people are enjoying the rescues and me talking about fostering and these guys. I'm glad they're getting the attention they need cause this helps change people's minds about homeless pets.
My hamster being overweight how do I help her?
Aweh im in love! Wish i could adopt but im to far
aw she looks like my hamster only he's really fluffy and a lot smaller haha
I have fostered kittens that weigh less than Hersey!!
When my last hamster had 10 babies she didn't eat one of them or any of them
I got my hair back check my nails finish the song
You are so beautiful! And so is Hershey 😂💜
Hello! I loved your video, but I’ve come to an issue. My friend wanted to adopt a hamster, so I thought looking on Craigslist would be a good way. (By the way don’t worry I’ve done tons of research about my hamster, and hers) but when I went on there I saw so many dwarfs in such terrible situations. When I saw all of this I freaked out and told my teacher who saves animals. So far she’s saved 2 bunnies, 4 rats, and I believe a hamster. She contacted her group of people who save animals, and none of them could take them in. I’m not sure what to do. I wanted to take them but I don’t have enough money for it and my dad doesn’t really like to have a ton of hamsters in the house. Advice?
Someone else will probably come along and give them a good life. If you're not financially prepared to take them on & your parents say no, then you would just be putting more stress and stain on yourself and that's irresponsible for the hamsters sake. You can try to help out by spreading awareness like you did with your teacher and posting it in local groups on FB where someone may want to take them, but i would suggest not taking them and letting someone else come in and take them. They will eventually get adopted by someone if no one you know steps in.
The second wheel looked like the strainer in a lettuce dryer
Hershey looks exactly like my hamster !
It seems to be baskets but just adding the hole to make wheels.
