Victoria Raechel hey Victoria- so I have a cage question- if I used a..... I think it’s a 10 gallon... fish tank, would that be a big enough tank for a robo dwarf hamster?
i just got dwarf hamsters today and we got them a small standard cage but it literally gave me a panic attack bc it’s to small but my parents said it’s the right size.
Yall, like I wouldn’t have even submitted my cage if I knew that it wasn’t 450 square inches! 🤣🤣 She ALWAYS says “450 square inches minimum!” Our Syrian’s bin cage is 560 square inches & I still think it’s too small, but I can’t find any bigger bins & they just don’t make cages big enough! 🤣🤣
*secretly binge watches hamster care videos because I want to make sure my baby is living his life to the fullest and decides I'm going to pimp him out with so many toys and hides*
I love how nice you are about it! You’re not screaming “this is disgusting, you’re a horrible hamster mom” instead you’re being very gentle and lightly pointing out what they’re doing wrong and how to improve it!!❤️
Thank you! It's always good to tell someone politely what they're doing wrong rather than be aggressive and angry. If you're aggressive towards someone about it they're less likely to want to even consider ed what you're saying.
@@VictoriaRaechel Yes, tho sometimes I feel like people still don't care when saying things nicely... (like "oh they're saying this so politely so it's not that important lol who cares" but maybe/I guess it also depends on the person?) (I still appreciate how you do it tho, since I'm kind of the opposite 😅)
What we have learned today: 450 sq inch minimum. 8 inch minimum wheel. tons of bedding with a hideout. sandbath away from hideout. please don’t get a little creature if you can’t properly take care of them 🐹
Its annoying to see that even though her subscribers/viewers know what hamsters need by watching her videos they still put them in tiny cages with tiny wheels
tAsHaI mArIe not to be rude but I think that if you don’t have the money for it, you shouldn’t get a pet at all :/ you should know exactly what they need and know that you have the money to give them that :)

Cam Dunkerly am I the only one who thinks the the 410 bin tank was plenty of room. Like the hamster had hides and wheels and toys with still plenty of room to run around 😂
I think it would be really good if you could put together a compilation of the really great cages that got sent in, which meet all of the requirements just to like show people what can be achieved and also give people wanting to upgrade or even just improve their cage layout some ideas on how to do it. Probably a lot of work though :/
Me " Mom can I have a hamster? Their so cute!" My mom " sure! Let's get the things today and then get the hamster tomorrow " Me " Thank you! Your the best " My mom: grabs a tiny tales cage. Me : " I'm not torturing my hamster with that. We need a Fishtank that is big enough. "
Tltr: The hamster always jumps onto the wheel and then jumps off it onto the bedding My hamster really likes jumping more than climbing,we recently got a super big wheel of Ebay because the one we bought with the cage was too small for her. We have a really big cage (floor space and height) and the wheel goes up to the 2nd floor so my hamster usually climbs on it and then jumps off the wheel, when I'm sleeping I constantly hear my hamster just jumping off it and onto the bedding.

Thank you for not giving up educating people. Great job giving feedbacks! I wanna have a boss like you who can give me feedbacks like that, calm and thoughtful! love your videos
Half these hamsters probably belong to 10-year-olds who are at the mercy of their parents what kind of cages and supplies they can buy for their hamster. A mom isn't going to want to spend 100s of dollars on something the kid might lose interest in a few months, only hamster enthusiasts will do that.

4:14 there actually is more bedding. We didn't have the right sized piece of glass so we had to put a piece of wood in the front which makes it is that you can't see the bedding.

Ellie L. Well I just cleaned his cage and half of his cage has 8 inches of bedding and half has around 5 inches where his wheel, food dish, water dish, and a few toys are.
Thank you to everyone who submitted their cages! If you sent in your cage and it’s above the minimum and pretty well set up and it wasn’t shown in the video it’s probably because I had nothing to add to it!! If your cage wasn’t featured please don’t be upset at me you’d be in the same position if you had to look through 119 cage setups. & yes multiple things were repeated but it was clear they had to be repeated.
Sounds like you could fill an entire channel with cage review/advice. You could ask subscribers to make donations to a local animal rescue/shelter as payment for your service.
@ItsBree it means your hamster is bored and/or stressed. You need to give it more room, bedding, toys, hideouts and other things to do. It is not normal for hamsters to climb on their roofs.
People saying “what if people don’t have the money” need to stop. 1)If you research beforehand, and learn you can’t afford the animal don’t get it. Period. 2) If you learn after you got the pet either find a way or rehome your pet. Bin cages are dirt cheap. 3) If you later find yourself in a situation where you don’t have the money, A) You should have the proper stuff before that, aside from reoccurring costs. B)Find a way, or rehome your pet. 4) If you can’t afford to properly take care of a pet you certainly can’t afford vet bills. Not having money isn’t an excuse. That pet depends on you to give them what they need. It’s your responsibility to give them what they need.
Originally I had the funds, and I saved up for the hamster myself, she reviewed the cage I used for the hamster, and actually managed to get a large wheel for my winter white, it wasn’t a silent spinner, so it was annoying, but anyway, it was my first pet, and I had educated myself as much as a 9/10 year old could about the topic. They lived past their average life span, and had everything they needed. I don’t think it is fair to make assumptions.. I was young and managed to completely support my hamster, and such, I wasn’t very educated at the start, but became more as I grew. In all while it was most likely dumb for such a small child to get a pet, everyone learns somewhere, and they taught me responsibility. I think if a parent knows their child can’t handle having a pet, don’t get it, but it’s just like having a cat or dog, they require time love and care. Hamsters aren’t just for adults, they can be used to help mature children (given the parents are making sure the hamster isn’t being mistreated). Okay bye :)
@@crack3185 i'm having a battle with myself, one says i should show this to my mom so i can convince her to get me a hamster but the other one says don't because i have to explain it to her (she doesn't speak english) and ending up with a no 😂
Dude meh mom literally was just given a Syrian hamster from her client because another hamster she had died because her kids would not take care of it and they had very small cages and I had moved her into a bigger space and I tried to convince my mom we needed more but she wouldn't budge
I love that when you were telling people they’re cage was to small you provided the fact that they can get a bin and make it a bin cage that is affordable
@@Rainbowunicorn47 wtf no did you even read the comment? 450 sq inches of floorspace is the BARE MINIMUM. BARE. MINIMUM. And even that's too small, 620 sq inches is the minimum and 780 sq inches of floorspace is the best even tho bigger is always better. 288 sq inches is EXTREMELY EXTREMELY SMALL.
@@Rainbowunicorn47 who tf told you that? The bare minimum for a Syrian is 450 and that's the smallest. She has said that in at least every single video. Don't be spreading the wrong information out there just so you look smart.
It's a bit frustrating because I feel like a broken record at this point but it's shown me that I definitely need to continue making cage size videos.
ik i literally got that 450 sq inches is the least minimum of hamster cages and that eve that is still a little too small on the first video that i watched of hers
I’ve been binge watching hamster related videos recently because I’ve just been deciding if Im ready to get another hamster. My last hamster unexpectedly passed away a few months ago because he had an internal tumor (there were no external signs or anything, I always did weekly health checkups) and he hid his symptoms very well, so we were unable to help him when he needed it. After watching your videos, I think I’m ready to get another one. I just have a big tank sitting in my living room and a bunch of hamster unopened toys. It makes me so sad to see it empty! Thanks for making great videos, keep it up!
I feel you my sister had gone through 3 losses of hamsters and now I currently went through a death of a hamster it is hard and I feel for you sending love!
I never had a pet that died, but when I was on vacation my aunt surprised me with a hamster and I came back but I’d dint want to risk it with him on the plane so I had to leave him with my aunt I rlly miss him and so sorry for ur loss
Hamsters are stereotypically cheap which they’re not. If you want to own a hamster you should be prepared for the cost as they are a little high maintenance. And it’s not ‘sad’, that we like to give a good life to our pets :)
i’m so used to seeing all these hamster youtubers with their giant cages that every time i see a cage between like 450-650 square inches or so i’m like “that’s kinda small don’t you think...”
@Ryleighs adventures Sorry but that is NOT enough space for a hammy! You need at least a 60 gallon tank for your hammy! With atleast 6 inches of bedding. :)
I love how no matter how bad the cage is she doesn't go around yelling at people like "DON'T HAVE A HAMSTER THEN IF YOU CAN'T PROVIDE FOR THEM CORRECTLY" but instead she gives tips, good things and stuff like that❤🎉
Hey Victoria, you’re truly one of the most amazing pet owners in the world. You’ve changed so many lives of hamsters and you’ve reached so many. You’ve educated so many kids and even adults such as myself to provide better care for their hammies. If I had never discovered your channel, I would have gotten a hamster and given him a little cage that’s less than the bare minimum. Because of you, my little hammy (a winter white) lives in a 650sq inches tank, with the right wheel, deep bedding, many hides, sooo many toys, as well as a well balanced diet. Thank you so much. I am truly happy with my little baby. And hopefully, he is as happy as can be. I do plan on getting a detolf cage in the future. There are no Ikeas around where I live, and ordering one will cost me $175 because of shipping. I may just save up to get one to be honest.
I wish my mom would act like that, she won't let me have any pet tho. So here i am, watching pet videos, reading comment and imagining the cute little thing their pets behaving.
I used to think it was cute when my hamsters would do monkey bars in their cages, but now that I am more informed, I get upset when they do monkey bars because it means they are bored or stressed 😬 I plan to make a bin cage ASAP! I want my hamsters to live happy lives in a comfortable home for them!❤️ I wish the pet store didn’t tell my parents that small cages are fine because the hamsters lived in small cages for far too long!
Me: Did you know you need at least 450 square inches of floorspace for a hampster? My friend: gets a hampster and buys probably smallest cage they can. Me:🤦🤦👎👎
@@shawnhorrigan3397 probably not an actual spelling mistake but like... a more fun way for people to say stuff like when some people say ya instead of you/yeah or say lil instead ot little etc
We definitely need a part 2 !! i really wanted to have my cage to the next episode cuz I didn't know you were gonna make this video😂 and also greetings from finland🇫🇮
We already know Victoria is the sweetest person alive and then she shows this by LITTERLY telling us she does not like hurting people’s feelings we all need to be this nice
I’ve been trying my best to upgraded my hamster cages as soon as I can when I save up the money for it! And you’ve really been helping me I would like to thank you!!:3
Our hamster has 4 cages connected by Tubes and a climb hide out. He loves it...he runs everywhere at night. Once a week we take him out to run around the room and my kids make obstacles an obstacle course for him with plastic large blocks and I can tell he is so happy.
I am saving up to give my hamster a huge cage because the pet store convinced me (when I was a little bit younger) that a critter trail was better than a tank but don’t worry I am upgrading soon
This just makes me sad about the hamsters i used to have when i was younger. They were the best little babies but the cage was probably too small. Rip Hearts and Rapidly💓🥺
Me: Oh, I'll make my hamster a bin cage! Power tools: *are scary* Me: ... You know what? Lemme just spend $60 on a detolf instead... Long story short: I am now broke
my hamster just died at 4 years old because he had a tumor growing out of his ear. I would like to thank you for providing me with enough research to keep him alive this long. thank you victoria keep doing what you’re doing.
It’s honestly kind of sad that some people who have subscribed to you, an advocate for ALL proper hamster care, have really small hamster cages as well as questionable care. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to be mean, it just kind of surprises me as to some of these people’s care especially if they watch your care videos! However everyone makes mistakes, and there’s always room and time to fix it!! ❤️ Love you Victoria, keep up the great videos!
It does make me a bit sad, But some people don't understand how to calculate floorspace or they may have some stubborn parents so I try my best to help as much as I can.
Victoria Raechel yeah I have guinea pigs and it’s been so hard trying to get them to get them a bigger cage it’s been 4 years and I think my parents are finally agreeing although I feel so bad for my piggies
i got my hamster last week and ur videos are rlly helping me, i haven’t had a hamster now for 8 years so i’ve kinda forgotten how to take care of one but ur vids are helping a lot! so thank uu
I was thinking about getting a hamster and I was going to buy a very tiny cage for it but I decided to do some research and came across your page I’m so happy I did I have got my hamster the correct size cage now thank you for educating 😁😁!!
My Cage is an Ikea detolf for a sirian hamster with 10 inch if kaytee clean and cozy . It has only natural toys like Cork logs or Apple sticks. The wheel is 12inch and I have a water dish like bumble ir honey
8:01 those aren’t DIY glass platforms i recently bought something just a little smaller for my mice at my local pet store I live in the UK. It looks the exact same and the platforms are placed in the exact same places in the exacts same way
Another great video, thanks! The more I watch your videos the more I realize I still have a lot to learn about hamster care. I wasn't aware of back issues with spinners that are too small, so the first thing I did after watching this was get rid of my 4.5 inch silent spinner and replaced it with a 6.5 inch. I have a dwarf hamster so the 6.5 seems perfect
Ok the cage at 12:23 is TERRIBLE. not only is the cage itself TINY and way under minimum... but it looks like there is a divider in the centre of the cage??? Also two food bowls, one on each side to house another syrian in it?? Yikes. Also not enough bedding as mentioned but also no chews and not enough hides 😳😳😳 that poor hamster (or hamsters) ☹️
i'm so glad people are turning to an excellent source to educate themselves (: that's what my hammy's enclosure looked like before binge watching your videos and now he has a gigantic diy enclosure with around 10" of bedding and a bunch of textures.
I have 5 hamsters Alfa and Romeo (Male robo's that live together) Aston and Martin (Male Russian Dwarfs that had to be separated) Mercedes (Female Russian Dwarf that likes to bite me)
A question, wich is better a long 29 gallon tank or a tall gallon tank. My winter white dawrf doesn’t really like her house now so I’m trying to change that.
Thank you! It's always better to be kind when giving someone advice rather than getting mad, the person is less likely to want to change if they're being yelled and screamed at.
UGH I wish I found your account 2 weeks ago!!! I got my cute lil guy at the pet store. They said that a 30 gallon tank is plenty for him and that even a 20 would be okay. I got a 30, trying to give him the most I could, now I’m seeing it’s literally the minimum!!! Anyways, I think I’m gonna go with a 50 gallon tank and sell the old one. He seems to be content in his cage because there are a lot of enrichment activities in there and bedding, but this opened my eyes!!! Thank you so much!!!

I’m going to get my hamster Alice a 40 gallon tank for my birthday instead of a new phone because she’s more important than a phone
thats awesome and very responsible thumbs up to you
Vivianne’s World thank you so much
You can get your phone next year
That's so amazing. Your hamster is lucky to have you.
Mayahuel Lazy what? I’m sorry, I guess? I was just saying they could get there phone next year, you don’t have to be so rude, god :/
People saying “what if people don’t have the money” need to stop.
1)If you research beforehand, and learn you can’t afford the animal don’t get it. Period.
2) If you learn after you got the pet either find a way or rehome your pet. Bin cages are dirt cheap.
3) If you later find yourself in a situation where you don’t have the money,
A) You should have the proper stuff before that, aside from reoccurring costs.
B)Find a way, or rehome your pet.
4) If you can’t afford to properly take care of a pet you certainly can’t afford vet bills.
Not having money isn’t an excuse. That pet depends on you to give them what they need. It’s your responsibility to give them what they need.
Originally I had the funds, and I saved up for the hamster myself, she reviewed the cage I used for the hamster, and actually managed to get a large wheel for my winter white, it wasn’t a silent spinner, so it was annoying, but anyway, it was my first pet, and I had educated myself as much as a 9/10 year old could about the topic. They lived past their average life span, and had everything they needed. I don’t think it is fair to make assumptions.. I was young and managed to completely support my hamster, and such, I wasn’t very educated at the start, but became more as I grew. In all while it was most likely dumb for such a small child to get a pet, everyone learns somewhere, and they taught me responsibility. I think if a parent knows their child can’t handle having a pet, don’t get it, but it’s just like having a cat or dog, they require time love and care. Hamsters aren’t just for adults, they can be used to help mature children (given the parents are making sure the hamster isn’t being mistreated). Okay bye :)
oh- forgot to mention I bought two- at the same time- they had separate cages so I wasn’t killing them 😅

@@crack3185 i'm having a battle with myself, one says i should show this to my mom so i can convince her to get me a hamster but the other one says don't because i have to explain it to her (she doesn't speak english) and ending up with a no 😂
Dude meh mom literally was just given a Syrian hamster from her client because another hamster she had died because her kids would not take care of it and they had very small cages and I had moved her into a bigger space and I tried to convince my mom we needed more but she wouldn't budge
Thank you so much for reacting to my cage! Mine was the 55 gallon aquarium! You’re awesome!
Thank you for submitting your cage!
Emma Fonseca was it the 7:58 ??
Charlie The Lorikeet no mine was 11:23
Emma Fonseca oh sorry 😂😂 it’s cute
Charlie The Lorikeet thank you!
“A hamsters cage really isn’t just a cage- it’s there hole world, and us humans need to remember that.”
I love that when you were telling people they’re cage was to small you provided the fact that they can get a bin and make it a bin cage that is affordable
You did a really great job on this video! I think you were very kind and respectful while offering very important advice! Well done!
Omg I’m a fan
Is it just me, or are you guys jealous of Victoria's cage?
She makes my 40 gallon tank look like a critter trail LMAO
omg.. that was me a week ago! but i convinced my parents to upgrade and now it's looking rly good!!!
OMG that is me
@@excusemeum....8053 same 😭🖐🏻
Yes! Mine is 850 square inches, but I want a bigger one already... When I mentioned it to my om she was just like NO. 🥺😂Can relate.
i just love how u are not hating on ppl with small cages or wheels you just give them advice and thats why i love ur channel so much
New drinking game drink every time she says bare minimum 😂
ur liver is gonna die don’t do it!!!
😂 I tried it... results where nasty 🤢😂
soon as i read this she said bare minimum
Harry Baber *sips tea*
@@VictoriaRaechel u could drink water as a heathy alternitive lol
Victoria: remember 450 sq inches of floors space
Person: sooo does that mean 250 sq inches?
Me: 😑😑😑
The cage of a Syrian hamster (the most common pet hamster), should be at least 288 square inches in size (24 inches long by 12 inches wide).
@@Rainbowunicorn47 wtf no did you even read the comment? 450 sq inches of floorspace is the BARE MINIMUM. BARE. MINIMUM. And even that's too small, 620 sq inches is the minimum and 780 sq inches of floorspace is the best even tho bigger is always better. 288 sq inches is EXTREMELY EXTREMELY SMALL.
@@Rainbowunicorn47 who tf told you that? The bare minimum for a Syrian is 450 and that's the smallest. She has said that in at least every single video. Don't be spreading the wrong information out there just so you look smart.
Lol
IChloberry the ABSOLUTE bare minimum is 450 sq inches of floor space! Even that can be to small!
I love how you give others advice about there cages this means you care😌❤️
Thank you!
I just got a Syrian hamster yesterday and I'm glad we have confirmation of s good cage for her! Your channel has been very helpful

Love the video/part 2
it's kinda wild that anybody who watches your videos would somehow not have it through their head by now that 450 is the bare minimum lol
It's a bit frustrating because I feel like a broken record at this point but it's shown me that I definitely need to continue making cage size videos.
Yea,that annoyes me too
So shame on them for asking for critiques and being open for feedback??? 😐
andrielisilien that’s clearly not what this person in implying
ik i literally got that 450 sq inches is the least minimum of hamster cages and that eve that is still a little too small on the first video that i watched of hers
“so don’t blame me” * nervous laughter*
I’ve been binge watching hamster related videos recently because I’ve just been deciding if Im ready to get another hamster. My last hamster unexpectedly passed away a few months ago because he had an internal tumor (there were no external signs or anything, I always did weekly health checkups) and he hid his symptoms very well, so we were unable to help him when he needed it. After watching your videos, I think I’m ready to get another one. I just have a big tank sitting in my living room and a bunch of hamster unopened toys. It makes me so sad to see it empty! Thanks for making great videos, keep it up!
oh no! i'm sorry for your loss! i wish your next pets have a long and joyful life!
I feel you my sister had gone through 3 losses of hamsters and now I currently went through a death of a hamster it is hard and I feel for you sending love!
awww well your hamster is watching you up in heaven I'm sure he had an extradonairy life
The reason why you should not get a pet and home hamster because I got one then a week later my hamster died
I never had a pet that died, but when I was on vacation my aunt surprised me with a hamster and I came back but I’d dint want to risk it with him on the plane so I had to leave him with my aunt I rlly miss him and so sorry for ur loss
People spend so much on tiny hamster cages, when a detolf cost like 60 quid. Kinda sad.
heidi I know they can cost so much for such a tiny cage!🙄
Hamsters are stereotypically cheap which they’re not. If you want to own a hamster you should be prepared for the cost as they are a little high maintenance. And it’s not ‘sad’, that we like to give a good life to our pets :)
@@ellarnihall2225 I mean they are "cheap" compared to other animals such as dogs and cats. But yes, they are still pricey too.
Exactly! And a bin cage costs less and it’s pretty decent, not the best but still pretty spacious.
i’m so used to seeing all these hamster youtubers with their giant cages that every time i see a cage between like 450-650 square inches or so i’m like “that’s kinda small don’t you think...”

@Ryleigh Jones OoOo nice someone else here with mice interest, that would be wonderful! How many babies do you have?
@Ryleighs adventures Sorry but that is NOT enough space for a hammy! You need at least a 60 gallon tank for your hammy! With atleast 6 inches of bedding. :)
TheNamesJeff 40 gallon is the minimum :)
Also i reccomend having 7-13 inches of bedding :) sorry if i spelt words wrong. :)
Does anyone have dorf hamsters sorry if dorf is spelt wrong
Bin cages are so much better! It only costed my 24 dollars and it’s 600 square inches.
saint dolly where did you buy it please send link
Mine costed 12 quid for 600sq!
I HATE how though people watch Victoria Rachel’s videos they still have bad cages
Wild Flower when my family doesn't support bin cages :c
I know right me friend has the XL pets at home cage and she says is 486 square inches 🙄

That case (8:50) is so fkn cool, It’s like a famous “house” to hamster hahha😂 love it😍
Yh it’s the best one ;)
I love how no matter how bad the cage is she doesn't go around yelling at people like "DON'T HAVE A HAMSTER THEN IF YOU CAN'T PROVIDE FOR THEM CORRECTLY" but instead she gives tips, good things and stuff like that❤🎉
Just watching the video
With a like!👍
Omg I never got so much likes !
@Fireball Bruno lol 54 likes is not alot
KDuckly - korab6 for me it is
KDuckly - korab6 you seem like one of those people who just cant stand to see others happy.
Tho i replied nicely ._.
Hey Victoria, you’re truly one of the most amazing pet owners in the world. You’ve changed so many lives of hamsters and you’ve reached so many. You’ve educated so many kids and even adults such as myself to provide better care for their hammies. If I had never discovered your channel, I would have gotten a hamster and given him a little cage that’s less than the bare minimum. Because of you, my little hammy (a winter white) lives in a 650sq inches tank, with the right wheel, deep bedding, many hides, sooo many toys, as well as a well balanced diet. Thank you so much. I am truly happy with my little baby. And hopefully, he is as happy as can be. I do plan on getting a detolf cage in the future. There are no Ikeas around where I live, and ordering one will cost me $175 because of shipping. I may just save up to get one to be honest.
Oh wow thank you for such a kind comment
I like this video. It tells the people with small cages to step it up
Nobody:
Not even my hamster:
My parents: Oh, A bin cage is too ugly!! *Spends $100 on a tank*
😅😅
Not complaining though. 😂
That was my mom lmaooooo
I wish my mom would act like that, she won't let me have any pet tho. So here i am, watching pet videos, reading comment and imagining the cute little thing their pets behaving.

Omg so lucky, my mom is hesitant to let me buy a bin cage for my upcoming hamster
“There is caged in the garage”
Cages in the garage: 10g tank
Same. I ended up paying for half the cage (the total was $200) my parents payed for the other $100 of it, so I’m not complaining.
I just got got my hamster and I named her tater tot
It’s a dwarf
Joanna Heffernan ☺️ cute name
Thanks for making sure that Ham's are safe. 💗
I used to think it was cute when my hamsters would do monkey bars in their cages, but now that I am more informed, I get upset when they do monkey bars because it means they are bored or stressed 😬 I plan to make a bin cage ASAP! I want my hamsters to live happy lives in a comfortable home for them!❤️ I wish the pet store didn’t tell my parents that small cages are fine because the hamsters lived in small cages for far too long!
Feelings hurt.....no im kidding I didn't get my cage in on time 😁
Me: Did you know you need at least 450 square inches of floorspace for a hampster?
My friend: gets a hampster and buys probably smallest cage they can.
Me:🤦🤦👎👎
I'm really sorry to do this,

Great name
I’ve been trying my best to upgraded my hamster cages as soon as I can when I save up the money for it! And you’ve really been helping me I would like to thank you!!:3
Omg awesome video!! I was so excited for your Saturday video Hehe
Thank you!!!
I think you handled that very professionally ^_^ Interesting to see what other people have come up with to house their hammies.
Thank you!
Our hamster has 4 cages connected by
Tubes and a climb hide out. He loves it...he runs everywhere at night. Once a week we take him out to run around the room and my kids make obstacles an obstacle course for him with plastic large blocks and I can tell he is so happy.
I am saving up to give my hamster a huge cage because the pet store convinced me (when I was a little bit younger) that a critter trail was better than a tank but don’t worry I am upgrading soon
This just makes me sad about the hamsters i used to have when i was younger. They were the best little babies but the cage was probably too small. Rip Hearts and Rapidly💓🥺
Tabi xx R.I.P 😢
Same
Me: Oh, I'll make my hamster a bin cage!
Power tools: *are scary*
Me: ... You know what? Lemme just spend $60 on a detolf instead...
Long story short: I am now broke
Aaralyn Allin-Zayas you don’t have to use power tools to make a bin cage but detolfs are bigger anyways!
LOL!
Power tools are fun, as long as your sober, concentrating and are not inbred, you'll be fine. Promise.
@@piority9 lmfao
you could get like a 40 gallon tub and drill holes on the top. maybe idk tho.
my hamster just died at 4 years old because he had a tumor growing out of his ear. I would like to thank you for providing me with enough research to keep him alive this long. thank you victoria keep doing what you’re doing.
I’m sorry to hear your pet died but four years old is really good for a hamster. You should be proud that he had such a long life.
I love how shes not belittling people who make mistakes with hamsters unlike some other people who rip your throat out any small mistake
PART 3 PART 3 PART 3
Rachel: what this women cray cray
It’s honestly kind of sad that some people who have subscribed to you, an advocate for ALL proper hamster care, have really small hamster cages as well as questionable care. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to be mean, it just kind of surprises me as to some of these people’s care especially if they watch your care videos! However everyone makes mistakes, and there’s always room and time to fix it!! ❤️ Love you Victoria, keep up the great videos!
It does make me a bit sad, But some people don't understand how to calculate floorspace or they may have some stubborn parents so I try my best to help as much as I can.
Victoria Raechel yeah I have guinea pigs and it’s been so hard trying to get them to get them a bigger cage it’s been 4 years and I think my parents are finally agreeing although I feel so bad for my piggies
Love your pfp!
i got my hamster last week and ur videos are rlly helping me, i haven’t had a hamster now for 8 years so i’ve kinda forgotten how to take care of one but ur vids are helping a lot! so thank uu
Omg, I laughed so hard when you put the funny voice in the beginning😂😂❤️
I was thinking about getting a hamster and I was going to buy a very tiny cage for it but I decided to do some research and came across your page I’m so happy I did I have got my hamster the correct size cage now thank you for educating 😁😁!!
Well done for doing research, a very responsible owner u r

lol i put a hiding spot in my hamster's cage/ _house?_ and she just ended up burrowing in bedding instead
Late to the game but I’ve just got into hammy care. Bin cages really are amazing. Slightly over 900 square inches for 35$ at Walmart. It’s amazing
My Cage is an Ikea detolf for a sirian hamster with 10 inch if kaytee clean and cozy . It has only natural toys like Cork logs or Apple sticks. The wheel is 12inch and I have a water dish like bumble ir honey

8:01 those aren’t DIY glass platforms i recently bought something just a little smaller for my mice at my local pet store I live in the UK. It looks the exact same and the platforms are placed in the exact same places in the exacts same way
no way! lol!
Yeah that girl was just trying to show off
Thank you for teaching people how to care properly for hamsters. :D
Another great video, thanks! The more I watch your videos the more I realize I still have a lot to learn about hamster care. I wasn't aware of back issues with spinners that are too small, so the first thing I did after watching this was get rid of my 4.5 inch silent spinner and replaced it with a 6.5 inch. I have a dwarf hamster so the 6.5 seems perfect
People shouldn’t get offended because no body is perfect and they might have stuff to improve
Yay omg you liked my comment 😃
*nobody*
Ok the cage at 12:23 is TERRIBLE. not only is the cage itself TINY and way under minimum... but it looks like there is a divider in the centre of the cage??? Also two food bowls, one on each side to house another syrian in it?? Yikes. Also not enough bedding as mentioned but also no chews and not enough hides 😳😳😳 that poor hamster (or hamsters) ☹️
Yeah we get that in the vid so yeah thats a little bit drama queen
norway suck dude she’s just expressing her opinion leave her alone
It's called broke
Sad they are subscribed to her and meant to know what it should look like
.
i'm so glad people are turning to an excellent source to educate themselves (: that's what my hammy's enclosure looked like before binge watching your videos and now he has a gigantic diy enclosure with around 10" of bedding and a bunch of textures.
6:43
Me gets up and runs to my cage to add more hides where I have taller bedding
i didn’t have my cage set up in time to send it in but i have an 819 square inch bin cage. lol. but i loved the video!!
What size in L is this?

Ahhh if only i got my ikea detolf sooner then i could’ve showed you!!!😩💗💗
UGH I wish I found your account 2 weeks ago!!!
I got my cute lil guy at the pet store. They said that a 30 gallon tank is plenty for him and that even a 20 would be okay. I got a 30, trying to give him the most I could, now I’m seeing it’s literally the minimum!!! Anyways, I think I’m gonna go with a 50 gallon tank and sell the old one. He seems to be content in his cage because there are a lot of enrichment activities in there and bedding, but this opened my eyes!!! Thank you so much!!!
