I love all your videos!! When I first got my hamster I gave it un proper care for about a month then I saw your videos I am I upgraded my enclosure to 40 gallon tank lots of enrichment,. Lots of substrate, Lots of sprays , lots of forging, lots of boredom breakers, etc..
My 9yr old daughter has done so much research through your videos before we get her hamster in the summer! She's so knowledgeable thanks to you (as am I) and she absolutely adores you and your lovely fur babies! So from 9yr old Penny and myself - thank you ❤
@@VictoriaRaechelhow do I know if my hansters are robo or Russian dwarf 😭 I got new hamsters today, Athena and Betty, I was told that they are rescued about 3months old, I was also told that they are russian dwarf hanster but they look wayyy more like robo hamsters then dwarf hansters so idk anymore 😭 I was to breed the 2 girls but I need to know if I should buy a robo male hamster or a Russian dwarf male hamster
First! I love your videos, they are very relaxing and informative. There are so many trolls online, that no matter what videos anyone makes, there will always be at least one person who comments something rude/untrue. You have inspired me to research lots about hamsters, and share proper hamster care with others, so thank you. Keep doing what you are doing! 🐹❤️
oh 100%, you can upload the most innocent content and there's still gonna be one person who finds something wrong with it or just wants troll. Thank you!
Hey there! I just wanna let you know, you are the exact reason why I can give my hamster the best life possible! If I didn’t find you my hamster would be living in a tiny tales cage eating pellets and bending his back on his wheel without being able to burrow, so just thank you so much. You have all my respect, I hope you continue your TH-cam career and educate more people on hamsters so all hammys have the best life possible!
I am 39 years old and found you because I rescued a hamster. I binge watched all your educational videos. Probably the same with most of your subscribers. I stay and continue to watch for inspiration to stay on top of my hamster care and also because I find your videos relaxing and yet motivating. I have a cat dogs guinea pigs a beta fish and birds and many plants!! So not the same but it motivates me to he a good steward to what I do have and just taking that time and energy towards my kids plants and animals. I love taking care of things and tending to them and providing enrichment. I also love cage cleaning and doing different set ups and forages ect. For all of my animals! And it's something my kids and I can do together!
Hi Victoria! My friend has a hamster and I have bunnies when I met her, her hamster lived in a tiny pet smart cage with no bedding. I showed her your channel and she quickly educated her parents and they built her hamster a large enclosure and bought him lots of toys and hideouts. He lives way better now and that is all thanks to you! Thank you for doing what you do!!
victoria there’s no reason to put so much pressure on yourself. It’s great to put effort into your work but you have to remember why you started and remember how much joy it can bring you. we all adore you and thank you for teaching us how to care for our hamsters
Hi Victoria! Your videos are very informative and calming. You have been a great help to me and my bunnies. I know that your channel is not fully dedicated to bunnies but when my two male minilop brothers were in a big fight, I used some of your basic tips for bonding and they became best bunny buddies again!😊Thank you for all your videos and for helping the hamster, rabbit and cat communities! Even though I only own rabbits I still am grateful that you share so much info about these animals all across the globe! ( And to places like Australia! Where I live. ) My older brother used to have a cat when he was nine.( My age and he is 15 now ) We all appreciate your help and honesty with your pets. Thank you!
Please don’t be so hard on yourself 🫶🏼 I’ve been watching you for years and you are the reason I have the hamster care I have today! I always refer to your videos and watch them whenever I feel the need to. You make amazing videos and it shows how much care you put into them, I appreciate them and I know everyone else does too 💖 thank you for doing what you do 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
you sound so natural and sincere here in that video 💔 AND BTW I started off with a tiny petstore cage with pine shavings, a tiny wheel and a hamster ball and finally yesterday we got our 805 square inches enclosure with a proper bedding, and you know it's literally all thanks to you I'm so excited to see my hamster get happier🥺
I've taken the last month and binged your videos....in order....from the beginning to present day. You. Are. So. Awesome. It's been an absolute joy to see you grow, learn, and evolve your pet care.
I really have to agree with the first comment. Your videos are very calming and relaxing. I often rewatch your old videos for a dose of calmness. I don't know what it is that makes them relaxing but they just are. Maybe because you speak in a calm and collected manner unlike many TH-camrs who get really close to the camera and are basically shouting and over-stressing everything they say. Keep up the good work! Your videos are definitely not boring so don't give up! You've been on TH-cam for over a decade and that means you are doing something right! You've been here so long that many people probably grew up watching your channel and you've made a whole generation aware of proper hamster care!!! You have achieved something great and have the right to be proud of yourself! Thank you, Victoria! 🥰
Don't be hard on yourself. You're amazing and you're videos are so helpful to me.🤗 If I have not seen your videos my hamster would be in a tiny tales cage, 5 inch wheel, and he would not have enough enrichment. Thank you so much!
I am thinking of getting a dwarf hamster and I found your videos on google as tips and your videos are helping so much of what to get and tips.. just started watching and you already helped so much!
The way she downgrades haters and their comments with sarcasm and logic makes her my main role model. Thank you, Victoria, for teaching me how to take care animals and to destroy people in conversations.
Your videos are deffo not boring I spent most if the day yesterday watching your videos lol , and watching now again , you and your content are amazing ❤
I am very happy that i found your videos before i got my first hamster, i cant understand how people can write some of these stupid and cruel comments, sad people really 😖 though your videos/advice have cost me quite alot of money 😂💸💰
Love does not make up for improper care!! Totally agree with that - I feel like so many people think that if they love their pet enough it doesn't matter if its in the smallest cage being fed the worst diet 😥😥
Victoria, i love that you take time to appreciate your comments. you have no idea how much your videos mean to me and so many other people. you have not only saved my hamster from a life of misery, but many other hamsters. i thank you so so much for all of your work to educate people. being someone with anxiety and depression, i often go to your videos to distract myself from negative thoughts. your videos are my comfort place and i'm sure they are for MANY many others. thank you Victoria.
Your videos are great! Your videos taught me everything I know about hamsters, and though I don’t own one, I helped educate two of my friends and they got large, tanks with lots of enrichment. You also sent me down a large rabbit hole of researching animals and the proper care of them. I now properly care for my fish and leopard gecko. I also get so exited when I see you released a new video. Thankyou.
I'm so glad I found your channel when researching hamster care before I got my syrian hamster. I had no idea what they really needed before watching your videos. I feel awful for the hamsters we had as kids in the early 00s! My boy Kindness is now 18 months old, living a life of luxury in his mansion with all the bedding, hides, substrates and enrichment etc a hammy could wish for 🥳 Thank you Victoria ❤
I love your videos, please don't be hard on yourself. What is funny is that I don't even own a hamsters, I just like looking at them and how creative u can be. Be well!
I have been watching you for 4 years and you helped me to give my hamsters the life that they deserve.Thanks to you my first hamster had a big cage and everyone since. Thank you!
So one day I watched one of your videos and decided to clean my hamsters cage fight then and there (this was my first hamster) so I took my hamster Sunny out and I saw that she was bleeding so we found a vet who gave us medication for her. The vet said she was one of the sweetest hamsters that they have seen. She has now passed but thanks to your videos she had a good happy life making burrows and just generally meeting so many people and enjoying her life.❤ thank you! ❤
My enclosure is 1069 sq in & everyone thinks I spend a fortune in upkeep too. Just replace only soiled bedding every month & re-use clean bedding. Two big bags of bedding is roughly $30 & it takes me like 5 months to use. I've even mixed cheap aspen & shredded recyclable paper into the bedding to bulk it up and make it last longer before. Large bag of sand for a whole year is like $5. Once you invest money in an enclosure & all the accessories, its super cheap to maintain.
I love your vid a lot I found this channel about 5+ months ago and this channel has made me really happy and I enjoy when you talk about your pets and forget the haters keep loving yourself and loving the people who actually listen ☺️☺️☺️
Hi Victoria! I just wanted to thank you for how you have help me upgrade my hamster care so much! My past hamster lives in a super tini dangerous 3-leveled cage for a few months with the worse food ever, and overall, the worse care ever. Thanks to you, I now have a 650sq inch cage with 8inches of bedding, graoevine wood, cork logs, sprays, a good diet and a lot of enrichement. Im soon upgrading to a 800+ sq inch cage, where i'll be able to fit in more bedding. I love your videos, you're the best. Thank you for all the valuable hamster information, I love your videos!
Love your videos😊 A lot of people make the excue about their poor hamster care and that love makes up for it....when it doesn’t. Keep making more great videos💕
I’ve been researching hamster care for 3 months. I’m 18, I’ve had guinea pigs in the past and I adored them! But they did not suit my lifestyle well, they were well taken care of and I had them and loved them until they passed away, and then I was researching other rodents that would better suit me, and hamsters are definitely better suited for my schedule as I work late and don’t go to bed till around 2 or 3am anyway. My me time starts around 9pm and goes until I fall asleep, I think a hamster will very much be good for me to keep me company in my late night hours. Thank you for informing me about so many things for my hammy! I officially get her on Thursday!! She will have a 75 gallon tank, and plenty of substrates and forage and sprays! I’ve been collecting hamster items for months now, so excited! Will continue to binge your channel for many weeks and months to come🧡🧡🧡
Good morning, I don’t usually comment on any videos; but I heard you say that you’re hard on yourself so I wanted to comment. I really enjoy your videos . I don’t have a hamster; I have four Guinea pigs. However, I just like learning about different pets and I think your enclosures are sweet and inspiring. ❤
Here's a comment I hope cheers you up: I had wanted a hamster since I was around 5 (thankfully my parents got me a Zhuzhu pet instead, one of those toy hamsters), my dream came true around a year ago when I finally had everything I needed and I rescued a hamster from someone who didn't want to take care of theirs anymore. His name was pancake, he was very soft and nice, although he didn't like being handled but I didn't mind. He passed away around a week ago, but he lived a happy life thanks to your channel :]
I have learned so much from your videos!!! I am getting a hamster in a couple of days and I hope it will have the best life possible!!! I am starting of with a small cage because we unfortunately have not a lot of room for a huge ginormous cage but I hope to upgrade in the future! Thanks again for all your help!!!
You are the reason i became absolutely obsessed with hamsters. I started watching your videos in 2019 and finally managed to get one in 2021. He's a syrian and is nearly 2 and a half years and because of your channel he is able to thrive and get the proper care he deserves. Thank you and I love your videos
This video was amazing! It made me smile, haven’t done that in awhile. Thank you Victoria, I’m going through some of the worst of my depression right now and your videos help me be distracted from everything going wrong. ;-; I love seeing a mix of everything I love, animals, plants/gardening, funny jokes, and you. Thank you. ❤ (Once again😅)
3 years ago i got my first hamster. i binge watched your videos all the time, made my own cage and she got everything she needed. ive had another 2 hamsters since then, who both passed away. i havent owned a hamster in a while, but i never stopped to watch you. you have genuinely always been an inspiration to me, and it makes me happy knowing 10 year old me was watching these videos too 3 years ago, with my hamster in her playpen next to me. i plan on getting either guinea pigs or another hamster soon so i wont be lonely anymore, but i just want to tell you that through everything ive lost, i never lost the joy i got from your channel
Victoria I absolutely love your videos a couple years ago I owned 3 hamsters and I was a little uneducated but when I discovered your channel it taught me so much and made me a great care taker sadly there all passed but they lived a happy life because of your pointers and tips.Never think your videos are boring, there so inspiring and amazing.Know I have guinea pigs but I'll never unsubscribe,because your the reason I got hamsters, rodents in general!Thank you for all you do!
4:13 Ill echo this. This is NOT usually my thing…but I just have fallen for the idea of owning a hamster lately then I got on to this channel and it all just kinda clicks with me. The information you share is rests so effortlessly on my mind and is so pleasantly easy to digest…it just FLOATS on in there 🫠 So when you’re being all critical about your work. Literally give your self 9.5/10 ! (I dont ever give 10’s because I might know of something better one day Im sure on my death bed I will give you a 10/10 coz I will have a complete overview about things to my knowledge by then)
I have no interest in getting a hamster and do not need any tips on hamster care, but I really like watching your videos any way! Keep doing what you do!
I just got my daughter a hamster and found your videos. Now I’m having to do a lot of upgrading. But definitely will do some of your diy stuff first ❤️
Your videos are extremely frank, to the point, and informative. I've owned hamsters for decades and even I have learned new things from you. like the size of the wheel, I bought bigger wheels for my hams after watching your videos, that sort of thing. and learning the WHY of why not to get pine/cedar bedding, that sort of thing. it's very helpful, and your demeanor also helps a lot!
Your videos are amazing, Victoria. My partner and I have learned so much about hamster care and how to give the best life to our little hammy. And the vibes are just so relaxing! It's always a mood boost to see a new video in my feed.
Your such an amazing creator, I’ve been waiting a hamster a while and your videos are filled with so much amazing content they’ve given me the information and tools necessary to care for a hamster and I’m so excited to finally get an roberavski dwarf thank you and keep sharing your entertaining content and awesome energy! Your amazing
Thx sooo much since I started watching ur vids I have cared for my hamster Winnie soo much better thank you see has the best cage and I have done everything u said ❤❤❤
hello Victoria if you are reading this🙂👋. i have been watching your videos for maybe past a year and they are always amazing and something to look forward to on Saterdays❤. i appreciate all the work that you put into this, and i have never found a hamster channel so..... reasonable i guess. everything makes since and my hamster has never lived a better life then it is now because of your videos. i encourage you to keep making videos to help future hamster care, never has one of your videos made me want to quit watching this channel.☺
You are so sweet and just bring the best energy! Thank you for always teaching us the best for our animals and being the sweetest person while you do it
I've had many, many hamster. Like the first comment you read, I have autism, and believe it or not, I am also a veteran(USMC!!). I learn more and more from your channel even though I already do the stuff you show, but I learned to make the IKEA cage. I already had a bin cage but this guys is massive. Hamsters have already been climbing on me to smell me and eat while I hold them. I know I can leave them alone at times. I tend to not hold them when its thuderstorming outside. Thanks for your vids. HAMSTER HOORAH!
I love your voice ! It is so peacefull and relaxing . I could listen to you all day ! I have cynophobia and your videos always help me calm down 😊 0:21 Sadie was adorable ❤
been subscribed since 2021 and almost everytime you upload i am straight to it!! Love your videos so much and i can't thank you enough for educating me :)
I got my hamster over a year ago now but before getting her i watched alot of your videos and realised that hamsters needed alot more then what i thought, i was able to get my girl everything she needed just by watching you, she now living her best life. I had hamsters when i was a kid and realise just how much i did wrong with them, i keep saying my current hamater is really intelligent but i think im only seeing the intelligence of these small aminals because ive given her everything she needs including plenty of space. Thank you for your videos you helped give my girl a good life.
I've recently been interested in getting a hamster, and your videos have helped so much! If it wasn't for you, I would be creating a way more unhealthy environment for my future hamster. Every single question I've had, you had the perfect video and I've found every answer I've needed. Thank you so much, Victoria!
I am always worried about my hamster even though he has proper care but when I watch Victoria it calms me back down to realize that I’m doing great and he’s happy. Thank you so much I hope you have a great day! :)
My friend Mckenna she recommended me to the channel at first. I thought that I would learn that much room is channel but I’ve been watching you for a couple of months now and I can tell you this is my favorite channel. Thank you so much for teaching me stuff. And for all the people who write rude comments and don’t like your channel. They need to get their life together because they’re out of her mind.
I love your videos so much I have improved so much on my hamster care . My hamster care was so bad at first my hamster had a crittertrail cage at first. Now, he is a big bin cage.
I love your videos I watch them all the time and they are so not boring. If I didn't come across your videos before i got my first hamster would probably be in a critter trail with shavings and yogurt drops for treats but she is in a homemade cage that is a litter over 450 sq in but I am going to upgrade eventually and my robo is in a bin cage and is very content and happy. Thank you so much!!!!!
You know, one of the great things about what you do is that you are showing people who don't care a lot about animals like hamsters that they are thinking feeling individuals with needs that matter as much to them as our needs do to us, and sure, people will hate on that, but that doesn't mean you are doing terrible or are not doing something important. You are doing a great job on here, your videos are showcasing top notch hamster care and its important work, there are a lot of hamsters that are getting the care they need because of you, and who would be suffering if you hadn't decided to speak up. Keep it up girl, you are doing the right things and you are making a massive difference in the lives of a lot of hamsters who would have no other hope than the info you are putting out!
I got Greedo (a dwarf hamster who eats a LOT) a short while ago and I was able to put him in an awesome enclosure that has kept him happy thanks to your videos. So, thank you 💜
Your videos truly have a huge impact on how people view hamsters and hamster care. My family used to have hamsters (always one at a time obviously) ever since I was a kid. We had that ””huge”””” ””three story”” wire cage with like 4 cm of bedding and our hamsters would show the typical signs of stress; bar biting and monkeybarring. I’m just glad we took the hamsters out every day for many hours to play in our rooms, and that my mother taught us how to handle hamsters carefully and respect their privacy. About 5 years ago, I moved out of my parent’s houses and into my own apartment, and took a 60 cm bin cage with me. I thought I would get a hamster and just let it out a lot so it wouldn’t get bored. I thought I knew what was best for a hamster because i’ve always had them and they lived long lives. I decided to still do research and after just 20 minutes of watching videos, I realized how gravely wrong I was and had to throw all of my previous prenotions out of the window. I waited a year more and, as a broke ass student, and I mean BROKE (lived on 150€ a month for everything excluding rent), I saved up and got the proper things. A 130cm x 40 cm x 50 cm terrarium, a big wheel, a lot of proper beddings, different (1)
(2) substrates, hideouts, made some of my own stuff etc. The cage was so beautiful and full of enrichment. I got a female syrian hamster and named her Nietzsche :D, she was my baby, and I miss her dearly. I can proudly say even as a female hamster who was constantly looking for new things to do, she thrived, and got to wander around my hamster-proofed room for hours every day. Just seeing the huge difference between hamsters I co-owned with my parents as a child and my first very own hamster with proper care was LIFE CHANGING. I’m in the process of saving up and buying things for another hamster now, that over a year has passed since my lovely rally potatoe has passed away. Thank you for everything. Hamsters are wonderful, intelligent sentient beings and desserve to have proper care and habitat to live to their fullest potential. Like all of us :)
my syrian hamster lived in the minimum cage and he was happy and all. it was a pet store cage with 5 inches of bedding, a perfect size wheel but if i have the means to spoil him i will! i pulled out my old guinea pig cage from the garage (those neglectful cages from pet stores that are way to small for guinea pigs) which was 1/3 larger for him and added alot of bedding, enrichment and more space for him! he is very anti-social but he tolerates being stroked and sometimes hand feeds but he mainly likes to stay in his cage. i got a big playpen for him but he got really anxious so now he only goes in there for cage cleanings. as much as he hates me i love him
Omg I am just coming across this video, and you have made me want a hamster. So now I am trying to convince my mom to get me a hamster and I am going to put it in a bin cage. You have shown me how to take care of a hamster, so I thank you a lot, and for people who are hatting on her all I have to say is you guys don't know how to take care of your hamsters and don't want to listen to her at all which isn't her fault.
well people are crazy the truth is I was like that I gave them the worst care but after watching videos about them I already know how to take care of them and give them a big cage and not those cages that they sell at vets and nothing I love your channel 😍😍 greetings from Chile 💖
I had hamster named Oreo a couple years ago and I had him in a tiny cage but then I saw your videos. So I asked my mom for a bigger cage for m birthday and I got him more stuff and he was much happier. Thank you for what you do. I love your videos.
Hi Victoria! I just got a hamster and I have been watching your videos and it’s been helping me a lot lately thank you so much and please keep making videos!❤️
i originally found your channel because i was getting two hamsters from my cousin, who couldn't keep every single one of the babies that her original hamster had. with me knowing most of the basic information about hamsters to give them a good life, i mainly stay because your content is really interesting and enjoyable to watch. and hey, i'll also learn more about giving my hamsters a better life
hello victoria! i’ve been thinking about wanting a hamster for my 14th birthday that’s coming up in october. i was thinking about what animal i wanted and i wanted a hamster. as soon as i knew i wanted a hamster i started doing a whole bunch of research on how to take care of one, and that’s how i found your channel. i stay up watching your videos so that if my parents do allow me to get a hamster i have the proper care for it. i love your videos, thank you!
I found my hamster on a playground and had no idea how to properly care for him. Thanks to your videos, I learned and he thrived, living a great life. He passed away last fall but I still love watching your videos ❤ Thank you
Don’t care about the other people they are just gelus and rud.I have learned soo much from YOU have helped me soo much and Strawberry that is my hamster❤️
I don’t even have a hamster anymore as she sadly passed away and I found it a stressful experience. I took so much advice from your channel but I still watch now just for your personality ❤️
my hamster passed away yesterday and i felt really depressed and sad. she was my best friend and i feel like i have nobody. but when i saw this video post, i felt so much joy and happiness. your youtube comment videos always make me laugh hysterically and this was just what i needed. thank you for posting, i will always be coming to your channel for comfort.
Im so happy u exist because u helped me so much and i love ur videos i watch ur videos everyday❤!! And ur helped me so much im gettin a hamster in 7days im so exited!!
Thank you so much Victoria I have learned so much from your videos I updated my hands and enclosure and I also add chew toys to my hamsters and better Wheels and great hamster food
I honestly find this channel super interesting, it helps alot with my hamster Bagel, and I’ve literally watched her channel only for 3 hours straight, she’s so pretty and knows so many things! Thank u Victoria🩷
Glad to see the comments you chose this time were less degrading. You're a beautiful, smart person, Victoria, no matter what you say about your personality 🙂 I hope the next time you do one of these videos you have even fewer negative, ignorant, comments to read.
I love your videos sm and it inspiers me and its hard having a hamster but my parents dont understand and they think they know more abt hamsters even tho they never researched and i have been crying sm :( ty
I don't even own a hamster, or a rabbit, or a cat, (I keep fish) but I love your videos! Since most fish are small animals there's alot of people who don't see them as animals at all. It's people like you who teach people how to respect living things (even if they're small) by sharing knowledge and gently encouraging proper husbandry. Every time someone in your videos says "they're small so they don't need alot of space" my eyes roll so hard I get a migrane, people give the same excuse for keeping bettas in vases. Tysm ❤
Thank you for your videos. I know my hamster care has improved because of you and others. I now have two Syrians and two Russian dwarfs. Keep up the great work!! Also, for those who need a better enclosure, Petco is doing their 50% sale on Aqueon glass tanks right now until July 4th. I recommend 75-gallons for Syrians and 40-gallons for dwarfs.
I absolutely love this! Honestly, I started out having hamster in a wrong way until my friend introduced me into proper care then I learned more and come across your vlog too! ❤
Victoria's voice is so calming and peaceful. Who wouldn’t want to listen to her continuously speak?
Aw thank you 🥹

Hi Victoria! Your videos are very informative and calming. You have been a great help to me and my bunnies. I know that your channel is not fully dedicated to bunnies but when my two male minilop brothers were in a big fight, I used some of your basic tips for bonding and they became best bunny buddies again!😊Thank you for all your videos and for helping the hamster, rabbit and cat communities! Even though I only own rabbits I still am grateful that you share so much info about these animals all across the globe! ( And to places like Australia!

you sound so natural and sincere here in that video 💔
AND BTW
I started off with a tiny petstore cage with pine shavings, a tiny wheel and a hamster ball
and finally yesterday we got our 805 square inches enclosure with a proper bedding, and you know it's literally all thanks to you
I'm so excited to see my hamster get happier🥺
I've taken the last month and binged your videos....in order....from the beginning to present day. You. Are. So. Awesome.
It's been an absolute joy to see you grow, learn, and evolve your pet care.
OMG! Thanks for doing that!!
Aw thank you so much!
I really have to agree with the first comment. Your videos are very calming and relaxing. I often rewatch your old videos for a dose of calmness. I don't know what it is that makes them relaxing but they just are. Maybe because you speak in a calm and collected manner unlike many TH-camrs who get really close to the camera and are basically shouting and over-stressing everything they say. Keep up the good work! Your videos are definitely not boring so don't give up! You've been on TH-cam for over a decade and that means you are doing something right! You've been here so long that many people probably grew up watching your channel and you've made a whole generation aware of proper hamster care!!! You have achieved something great and have the right to be proud of yourself! Thank you, Victoria! 🥰
Thank you, that means a lot!
I always rewatch your videos on bad days too! Somehow, your voice is very soothing and the hamster videos are cute.
Don't be hard on yourself. You're amazing and you're videos are so helpful to me.🤗 If I have not seen your videos my hamster would be in a tiny tales cage, 5 inch wheel, and he would not have enough enrichment. Thank you so much!
I am thinking of getting a dwarf hamster and I found your videos on google as tips and your videos are helping so much of what to get and tips.. just started watching and you already helped so much!
Same!
The way she downgrades haters and their comments with sarcasm and logic makes her my main role model. Thank you, Victoria, for teaching me how to take care animals and to destroy people in conversations.
I discovered your channel 6 years ago... It's like I've seen you mature and grow since then. It's really amazing.❤️
Your videos are deffo not boring I spent most if the day yesterday watching your videos lol , and watching now again , you and your content are amazing ❤
The first one really is an emotional one for me because someone very near and dear to my heart also has autism ❤❤❤
I am very happy that i found your videos before i got my first hamster, i cant understand how people can write some of these stupid and cruel comments, sad people really 😖 though your videos/advice have cost me quite alot of money 😂💸💰
Love does not make up for improper care!! Totally agree with that - I feel like so many people think that if they love their pet enough it doesn't matter if its in the smallest cage being fed the worst diet 😥😥
Victoria, i love that you take time to appreciate your comments. you have no idea how much your videos mean to me and so many other people. you have not only saved my hamster from a life of misery, but many other hamsters. i thank you so so much for all of your work to educate people. being someone with anxiety and depression, i often go to your videos to distract myself from negative thoughts. your videos are my comfort place and i'm sure they are for MANY many others. thank you Victoria.
Your videos are great! Your videos taught me everything I know about hamsters, and though I don’t own one, I helped educate two of my friends and they got large, tanks with lots of enrichment. You also sent me down a large rabbit hole of researching animals and the proper care of them. I now properly care for my fish and leopard gecko. I also get so exited when I see you released a new video. Thankyou.
Love this channel! The reason I have good care is because I found your channel on the top results when I searched “Hamster” on TH-cam! Thank You!
Thank you!
I'm so glad I found your channel when researching hamster care before I got my syrian hamster. I had no idea what they really needed before watching your videos.
I feel awful for the hamsters we had as kids in the early 00s!
My boy Kindness is now 18 months old, living a life of luxury in his mansion with all the bedding, hides, substrates and enrichment etc a hammy could wish for 🥳
Thank you Victoria ❤
I love your videos, please don't be hard on yourself. What is funny is that I don't even own a hamsters, I just like looking at them and how creative u can be. Be well!
I have been watching you for 4 years and you helped me to give my hamsters the life that they deserve.Thanks to you my first hamster had a big cage and everyone since. Thank you!
I love your videos Victoria! They make us all smile, and at the same time our educational. you defiantly should do another part of this videos!
Don't worry. You're amazing! Don't let tue haters get to you. Continue your fabulous work ❤😊
So one day I watched one of your videos and decided to clean my hamsters cage fight then and there (this was my first hamster) so I took my hamster Sunny out and I saw that she was bleeding so we found a vet who gave us medication for her. The vet said she was one of the sweetest hamsters that they have seen. She has now passed but thanks to your videos she had a good happy life making burrows and just generally meeting so many people and enjoying her life.❤ thank you! ❤
Thank you, you have taught me so much and your the reason my Hamsters got the chance to thrive and live a good life
My enclosure is 1069 sq in & everyone thinks I spend a fortune in upkeep too. Just replace only soiled bedding every month & re-use clean bedding. Two big bags of bedding is roughly $30 & it takes me like 5 months to use. I've even mixed cheap aspen & shredded recyclable paper into the bedding to bulk it up and make it last longer before. Large bag of sand for a whole year is like $5. Once you invest money in an enclosure & all the accessories, its super cheap to maintain.
I'm so excited these are so funny 😭
I love your vid a lot I found this channel about 5+ months ago and this channel has made me really happy and I enjoy when you talk about your pets and forget the haters keep loving yourself and loving the people who actually listen ☺️☺️☺️
Hi Victoria!
I just wanted to thank you for how you have help me upgrade my hamster care so much!
My past hamster lives in a super tini dangerous 3-leveled cage for a few months with the worse food ever, and overall, the worse care ever. Thanks to you, I now have a 650sq inch cage with 8inches of bedding, graoevine wood, cork logs, sprays, a good diet and a lot of enrichement. Im soon upgrading to a 800+ sq inch cage, where i'll be able to fit in more bedding.
I love your videos, you're the best. Thank you for all the valuable hamster information, I love your videos!
Love your videos😊 A lot of people make the excue about their poor hamster care and that love makes up for it....when it doesn’t. Keep making more great videos💕
I’ve been researching hamster care for 3 months. I’m 18, I’ve had guinea pigs in the past and I adored them! But they did not suit my lifestyle well, they were well taken care of and I had them and loved them until they passed away, and then I was researching other rodents that would better suit me, and hamsters are definitely better suited for my schedule as I work late and don’t go to bed till around 2 or 3am anyway. My me time starts around 9pm and goes until I fall asleep, I think a hamster will very much be good for me to keep me company in my late night hours. Thank you for informing me about so many things for my hammy! I officially get her on Thursday!! She will have a 75 gallon tank, and plenty of substrates and forage and sprays! I’ve been collecting hamster items for months now, so excited! Will continue to binge your channel for many weeks and months to come🧡🧡🧡
Victoria!!!You are amazing and your sooo calming!! I have OCD and you are so great to watch for hours on end!!I You are so great at what you make!❤
Thank you! 💕
Good morning, I don’t usually comment on any videos; but I heard you say that you’re hard on yourself so I wanted to comment. I really enjoy your videos . I don’t have a hamster; I have four Guinea pigs. However, I just like learning about different pets and I think your enclosures are sweet and inspiring. ❤
Here's a comment I hope cheers you up:
I had wanted a hamster since I was around 5 (thankfully my parents got me a Zhuzhu pet instead, one of those toy hamsters), my dream came true around a year ago when I finally had everything I needed and I rescued a hamster from someone who didn't want to take care of theirs anymore.
His name was pancake, he was very soft and nice, although he didn't like being handled but I didn't mind. He passed away around a week ago, but he lived a happy life thanks to your channel :]
I have learned so much from your videos!!! I am getting a hamster in a couple of days and I hope it will have the best life possible!!! I am starting of with a small cage because we unfortunately have not a lot of room for a huge ginormous cage but I hope to upgrade in the future! Thanks again for all your help!!!
You are the reason i became absolutely obsessed with hamsters. I started watching your videos in 2019 and finally managed to get one in 2021. He's a syrian and is nearly 2 and a half years and because of your channel he is able to thrive and get the proper care he deserves. Thank you and I love your videos
This video was amazing! It made me smile, haven’t done that in awhile. Thank you Victoria, I’m going through some of the worst of my depression right now and your videos help me be distracted from everything going wrong. ;-; I love seeing a mix of everything I love, animals, plants/gardening, funny jokes, and you. Thank you. ❤ (Once again😅)
Aw i'm happy to hear that! 🥺❤️
3 years ago i got my first hamster. i binge watched your videos all the time, made my own cage and she got everything she needed. ive had another 2 hamsters since then, who both passed away. i havent owned a hamster in a while, but i never stopped to watch you. you have genuinely always been an inspiration to me, and it makes me happy knowing 10 year old me was watching these videos too 3 years ago, with my hamster in her playpen next to me. i plan on getting either guinea pigs or another hamster soon so i wont be lonely anymore, but i just want to tell you that through everything ive lost, i never lost the joy i got from your channel
Victoria I absolutely love your videos a couple years ago I owned 3 hamsters and I was a little uneducated but when I discovered your channel it taught me so much and made me a great care taker sadly there all passed but they lived a happy life because of your pointers and tips.Never think your videos are boring, there so inspiring and amazing.Know I have guinea pigs but I'll never unsubscribe,because your the reason I got hamsters, rodents in general!Thank you for all you do!

Ill echo this.
This is NOT usually my thing…but I just have fallen for the idea of owning a hamster lately then I got on to this channel and it all just kinda clicks with me.
The information you share is rests so effortlessly on my mind and is so pleasantly easy to digest…it just FLOATS on in there 🫠
So when you’re being all critical about your work. Literally give your self 9.5/10 !
(I dont ever give 10’s because I might know of something better one day
Im sure on my death bed I will give you a 10/10 coz I will have a complete overview about things to my knowledge by then)
I have no interest in getting a hamster and do not need any tips on hamster care, but I really like watching your videos any way! Keep doing what you do!
Victoria continue what you do. Your videos are so helpful to hamster owners and future hamster owners!🩷🐹
Thank you 💜
I just got my daughter a hamster and found your videos. Now I’m having to do a lot of upgrading. But definitely will do some of your diy stuff first ❤️
Good idea girl
Your videos are extremely frank, to the point, and informative. I've owned hamsters for decades and even I have learned new things from you. like the size of the wheel, I bought bigger wheels for my hams after watching your videos, that sort of thing. and learning the WHY of why not to get pine/cedar bedding, that sort of thing. it's very helpful, and your demeanor also helps a lot!
Thank you so much 🥺
Your videos are amazing, Victoria. My partner and I have learned so much about hamster care and how to give the best life to our little hammy. And the vibes are just so relaxing! It's always a mood boost to see a new video in my feed.
Your such an amazing creator, I’ve been waiting a hamster a while and your videos are filled with so much amazing content they’ve given me the information and tools necessary to care for a hamster and I’m so excited to finally get an roberavski dwarf thank you and keep sharing your entertaining content and awesome energy! Your amazing
Thx sooo much since I started watching ur vids I have cared for my hamster Winnie soo much better thank you see has the best cage and I have done everything u said ❤❤❤
hello Victoria if you are reading this🙂👋. i have been watching your videos for maybe past a year and they are always amazing and something to look forward to on Saterdays❤. i appreciate all the work that you put into this, and i have never found a hamster channel so..... reasonable i guess. everything makes since and my hamster has never lived a better life then it is now because of your videos. i encourage you to keep making videos to help future hamster care, never has one of your videos made me want to quit watching this channel.☺
You are so sweet and just bring the best energy! Thank you for always teaching us the best for our animals and being the sweetest person while you do it
I've had many, many hamster. Like the first comment you read, I have autism, and believe it or not, I am also a veteran(USMC!!). I learn more and more from your channel even though I already do the stuff you show, but I learned to make the IKEA cage. I already had a bin cage but this guys is massive. Hamsters have already been climbing on me to smell me and eat while I hold them. I know I can leave them alone at times. I tend to not hold them when its thuderstorming outside. Thanks for your vids. HAMSTER HOORAH!
I love your voice ! It is so peacefull and relaxing . I could listen to you all day ! I have cynophobia and your videos always help me calm down 😊 0:21 Sadie was adorable ❤
Aw thank you 🥺
been subscribed since 2021 and almost everytime you upload i am straight to it!! Love your videos so much and i can't thank you enough for educating me :)
thank you for the support!
I agree
you are SUPER relaxing to listen to, funny and explains everything so well
I got my hamster over a year ago now but before getting her i watched alot of your videos and realised that hamsters needed alot more then what i thought, i was able to get my girl everything she needed just by watching you, she now living her best life. I had hamsters when i was a kid and realise just how much i did wrong with them, i keep saying my current hamater is really intelligent but i think im only seeing the intelligence of these small aminals because ive given her everything she needs including plenty of space. Thank you for your videos you helped give my girl a good life.
I've recently been interested in getting a hamster, and your videos have helped so much! If it wasn't for you, I would be creating a way more unhealthy environment for my future hamster. Every single question I've had, you had the perfect video and I've found every answer I've needed. Thank you so much, Victoria!
I am always worried about my hamster even though he has proper care but when I watch Victoria it calms me back down to realize that I’m doing great and he’s happy. Thank you so much I hope you have a great day! :)
Thank you for your videos they really helped my hamsters. I hope you will continue making them! Thanks 🐹♥️♥️
hi victoria! you have made my day since 2017 when i got my first hammy! you have helped my care for my animals soar and i’m so thankful for you!
My friend Mckenna she recommended me to the channel at first. I thought that I would learn that much room is channel but I’ve been watching you for a couple of months now and I can tell you this is my favorite channel. Thank you so much for teaching me stuff. And for all the people who write rude comments and don’t like your channel. They need to get their life together because they’re out of her mind.
I love your videos so much I have improved so much on my hamster care . My hamster care was so bad at first my hamster had a crittertrail cage at first. Now, he is a big bin cage.
I love your videos I watch them all the time and they are so not boring. If I didn't come across your videos before i got my first hamster would probably be in a critter trail with shavings and yogurt drops for treats but she is in a homemade cage that is a litter over 450 sq in but I am going to upgrade eventually and my robo is in a bin cage and is very content and happy. Thank you so much!!!!!
You know, one of the great things about what you do is that you are showing people who don't care a lot about animals like hamsters that they are thinking feeling individuals with needs that matter as much to them as our needs do to us, and sure, people will hate on that, but that doesn't mean you are doing terrible or are not doing something important. You are doing a great job on here, your videos are showcasing top notch hamster care and its important work, there are a lot of hamsters that are getting the care they need because of you, and who would be suffering if you hadn't decided to speak up. Keep it up girl, you are doing the right things and you are making a massive difference in the lives of a lot of hamsters who would have no other hope than the info you are putting out!
Thank you! ❤️🥺
Thank you for educating others while also keeping things light and at times also entertaining. You rock!
So again thank you.. u really helped me know more abaut my hamsters and now pheobe has been with me for abaut 3 weeks
i discovered your channel this week and i've watched every single videos of your channel! I love your channel and it's really helpful thank you ♡
I got Greedo (a dwarf hamster who eats a LOT) a short while ago and I was able to put him in an awesome enclosure that has kept him happy thanks to your videos. So, thank you 💜
Love you Victoria you make me smile all the time thank you
Your videos truly have a huge impact on how people view hamsters and hamster care. My family used to have hamsters (always one at a time obviously) ever since I was a kid. We had that ””huge”””” ””three story”” wire cage with like 4 cm of bedding and our hamsters would show the typical signs of stress; bar biting and monkeybarring. I’m just glad we took the hamsters out every day for many hours to play in our rooms, and that my mother taught us how to handle hamsters carefully and respect their privacy.
About 5 years ago, I moved out of my parent’s houses and into my own apartment, and took a 60 cm bin cage with me. I thought I would get a hamster and just let it out a lot so it wouldn’t get bored. I thought I knew what was best for a hamster because i’ve always had them and they lived long lives.
I decided to still do research and after just 20 minutes of watching videos, I realized how gravely wrong I was and had to throw all of my previous prenotions out of the window.
I waited a year more and, as a broke ass student, and I mean BROKE (lived on 150€ a month for everything excluding rent), I saved up and got the proper things. A 130cm x 40 cm x 50 cm terrarium, a big wheel, a lot of proper beddings, different (1)
(2) substrates, hideouts, made some of my own stuff etc. The cage was so beautiful and full of enrichment. I got a female syrian hamster and named her Nietzsche :D, she was my baby, and I miss her dearly. I can proudly say even as a female hamster who was constantly looking for new things to do, she thrived, and got to wander around my hamster-proofed room for hours every day. Just seeing the huge difference between hamsters I co-owned with my parents as a child and my first very own hamster with proper care was LIFE CHANGING. I’m in the process of saving up and buying things for another hamster now, that over a year has passed since my lovely rally potatoe has passed away.
Thank you for everything. Hamsters are wonderful, intelligent sentient beings and desserve to have proper care and habitat to live to their fullest potential. Like all of us :)
my syrian hamster lived in the minimum cage and he was happy and all. it was a pet store cage with 5 inches of bedding, a perfect size wheel but if i have the means to spoil him i will! i pulled out my old guinea pig cage from the garage (those neglectful cages from pet stores that are way to small for guinea pigs) which was 1/3 larger for him and added alot of bedding, enrichment and more space for him! he is very anti-social but he tolerates being stroked and sometimes hand feeds but he mainly likes to stay in his cage. i got a big playpen for him but he got really anxious so now he only goes in there for cage cleanings. as much as he hates me i love him
Omg I am just coming across this video, and you have made me want a hamster. So now I am trying to convince my mom to get me a hamster and I am going to put it in a bin cage. You have shown me how to take care of a hamster, so I thank you a lot, and for people who are hatting on her all I have to say is you guys don't know how to take care of your hamsters and don't want to listen to her at all which isn't her fault.
well people are crazy the truth is I was like that I gave them the worst care but after watching videos about them I already know how to take care of them and give them a big cage and not those cages that they sell at vets and nothing I love your channel 😍😍 greetings from Chile 💖
I had hamster named Oreo a couple years ago and I had him in a tiny cage but then I saw your videos. So I asked my mom for a bigger cage for m birthday and I got him more stuff and he was much happier. Thank you for what you do. I love your videos.
Hi Victoria! I just got a hamster and I have been watching your videos and it’s been helping me a lot lately thank you so much and please keep making videos!❤️
i originally found your channel because i was getting two hamsters from my cousin, who couldn't keep every single one of the babies that her original hamster had. with me knowing most of the basic information about hamsters to give them a good life, i mainly stay because your content is really interesting and enjoyable to watch. and hey, i'll also learn more about giving my hamsters a better life
hello victoria! i’ve been thinking about wanting a hamster for my 14th birthday that’s coming up in october. i was thinking about what animal i wanted and i wanted a hamster. as soon as i knew i wanted a hamster i started doing a whole bunch of research on how to take care of one, and that’s how i found your channel. i stay up watching your videos so that if my parents do allow me to get a hamster i have the proper care for it. i love your videos, thank you!
Did you get the hamster?
I found my hamster on a playground and had no idea how to properly care for him. Thanks to your videos, I learned and he thrived, living a great life. He passed away last fall but I still love watching your videos ❤ Thank you
Don’t care about the other people they are just gelus and rud.I have learned soo much from YOU have helped me soo much and Strawberry that is my hamster❤️
❤️❤️
I love your Chanel it helped me get the things i needed for my hamster im buying a bigger wheel soon and im also gonna buy more sprays:)
I don’t even have a hamster anymore as she sadly passed away and I found it a stressful experience. I took so much advice from your channel but I still watch now just for your personality ❤️
my hamster passed away yesterday and i felt really depressed and sad. she was my best friend and i feel like i have nobody. but when i saw this video post, i felt so much joy and happiness. your youtube comment videos always make me laugh hysterically and this was just what i needed. thank you for posting, i will always be coming to your channel for comfort.
Im so happy u exist because u helped me so much and i love ur videos i watch ur videos everyday❤!! And ur helped me so much im gettin a hamster in 7days im so exited!!
Thank you so much Victoria I have learned so much from your videos I updated my hands and enclosure and I also add chew toys to my hamsters and better Wheels and great hamster food
I honestly find this channel super interesting, it helps alot with my hamster Bagel, and I’ve literally watched her channel only for 3 hours straight, she’s so pretty and knows so many things! Thank u Victoria🩷
Thank you! 🥰
Glad to see the comments you chose this time were less degrading. You're a beautiful, smart person, Victoria, no matter what you say about your personality 🙂 I hope the next time you do one of these videos you have even fewer negative, ignorant, comments to read.
I love your videos sm and it inspiers me and its hard having a hamster but my parents dont understand and they think they know more abt hamsters even tho they never researched and i have been crying sm :( ty
Always loving these and the reacting to tik toks and cages ones, such a nice switch from the other amazing stuff you put out here!
Thr thumbnail is everything
I don't even own a hamster, or a rabbit, or a cat, (I keep fish) but I love your videos! Since most fish are small animals there's alot of people who don't see them as animals at all. It's people like you who teach people how to respect living things (even if they're small) by sharing knowledge and gently encouraging proper husbandry.
Every time someone in your videos says "they're small so they don't need alot of space" my eyes roll so hard I get a migrane, people give the same excuse for keeping bettas in vases. Tysm ❤
Thank you 🥺
Thank you for your videos. I know my hamster care has improved because of you and others. I now have two Syrians and two Russian dwarfs. Keep up the great work!! Also, for those who need a better enclosure, Petco is doing their 50% sale on Aqueon glass tanks right now until July 4th. I recommend 75-gallons for Syrians and 40-gallons for dwarfs.
I love your videos. You taught me so much and made me a better hamster mom❤
I absolutely love this! Honestly, I started out having hamster in a wrong way until my friend introduced me into proper care then I learned more and come across your vlog too! ❤
