Short answer to all the questions:
*They are scared of you and really stressed*
That’s why my hamster pooped on my eye?

i went to the petshop yesterday and put my finger on the glass and this little male winter white dwarf came over to where my finger was and put his paw there and i was like "eeeeeeeeek sooooooo cuteeeeee"
Madhatter I do that all the time with the hamsters it's so cute😄👍🏼🍉🤗😋
ItsMae thats the type of hamster i have, i got her today and she bit me and made me bleed ;-;
Aww :3
Ollie GGG when a hamster bites you it shouldn’t draw blood unless it’s VERY stressed and scared or territorial (which would probably be bc their cage is too small) or it might not be chewing it’s toys so try some different types of chew toys
Ollie GGG my best friends hamster bit me yesterday to the blood I bled a lot
I've had my hamster for about 4 hours and he is already running on his flying saucer, going through his tunnels, eating meals in his bowl and coming up to my hand each time I put it in there! And I got him from a pet shop! He's adorable!
My hamster is the same way! Within hrs of getting her she was fine with petting and wasn't scared at all and eating :)
Suzie Puffers hehe

Same mines was running on his silent spinner and when he was tired he fell asleep on it.
So Cute 😇
@Emily Judge
Is ur hamster a syrian?
Nawshine Ramsamy yes
I got the SWEETEST Winter white dwarf hamster and he is already used to his cage and from day one he was very calm and trusted me 3 weeks later and we are like soulmates I'm so glad I got him😊
Jenna Wade- That's an amazing story I am so glad you found a perfect hamaster to sum it up I hope I can find a hamster like that eventually 😊
Jenna Wade awwww♥♡
how did u train him. i want a dwarf but i am worried they arent friendly
My winter white was tamed easily by using Erin's Animal's taming method. dwarf hamsters aren't all feisty thats just something petshops say
Grace P my friends dwarf hamster slapped me whenever I gave it a sunflower seed
It lived the full 2 years tho
my mom named my hamster chicken noodle because i told her that its a cambells dwarf hamsterXD...
that's really funny
hehe
Christine Crompton thats pure comedy
Christine Crompton awww that's so cute 😂

Your eyes are soooo prettyyyy😍😍
ikr
Z Films I agree
i was just gonna say that!!

Great Hamster care playlist!
Hi. Are crittertrails good 😕
No!
Jacob Rudder No they are to small 20 gallons and bigger is good☆★
Oh hello petco who kill animals throw them and leve them without care in that cage STUPID PETCO I HATE YOU
+ _-HAXZ-_ _-TheCLSTTFurry-_ KeEp YOUR OPINION 2 YOURSELF
yesterday I got my hamster and he was making a really distressing sound. he hasn't done it since but I burst out crying😔
i feel ya. The other day my hammy bit me and once i safely put him down I burst out crying.... it wasn't because it hurt or that i was in shock but I just felt so bad for him =(
Bare Bare ik you feel like you have hurt them and you feel so guilty
Yeah.
I moved apartments recently so I had to move my little guy in a travel box and he ran around it in circles making that little scared hamster screech (I had heard it on TH-cam but never from my hamster before) when I put him in it. It was HORRIBLE. Not only did I cry but my "tough" boyfriend cried too!! The 20-minute trip to the new apartment felt like 20 hours but we already had his old home set up for him and in a few hours it was like nothing had ever happened but I don't ever want to go through that again.
my squealed like a pig when the woman at the pet shop picked it up :D
"Hamsters should look like lumps...a ball with legs and a face"-I laughed so hard at this :D Great video; I haven't watched in a while and I forgot how much I love your videos! 😄
One of my recent hamsters had 11 (!) siblings. Most of them brothers, so he was with many siblings until the very last hour before I got him from the breeder.
I took him home, put him into a converted Ikea Detolf, and watched him.
He was a mess. He was SO scared, he'd roll over and play dead at any sound, shadow or just... ANYTHING would scare him! This went on, I figured he just needed to learn his habitat. He was in the Detolf for a week, but didn't.get.better. He was a scared little wreck, only running between his house and his running disc, never exploring the rest of his vast habitat filled with toys.
I was to get another hamster as well, a female. The night before she came, I decided to move the scared male to a Duna cage, about half the size of a Detolf but with a larger floor space. I put his house in there, put in his wheel, a sand bath, a climbing shelf combination, took clean bedding from his Detolf and moved him over. The new female hamster moved into the Detolf. She was the polar opposite, she was gutsy, she staked her claim INSTANTLY and made such good use of her toys! She was cool with handling on the second day, never showed any signs of any fear.
What happened with the scared male? He went on to be my cuddliest, calmest, most zen hamster ever. He loved his smaller habitat, the change in his behaviour was instant! He lived to be 1 year and 11 months old. I miss him. My theory is that he simply couldn't handle the huge habitat, he wasn't comfortable "lording" over it.
A lesson learned for future Syrians! They are just such little dolls! ^___^
I recently got two of the cutest dwarf hamsters I've ever seen, they've settled in really quickly, and I'm sort of having to force myself to take taming slowly 😊... I'm managing so far...
100% normal wait 1 day more and it will start to be handfed
It’s the most stressful day of my life too😂I’m so worried even thought I shouldn’t 😂
Erin! I just got my hamster today and he’s burrowing himself in the bedding and not coming out! He’s not moving... He’s been there for hours. I might be overreacting because he might just be sleeping
Same!! Im afraid it’s too cold or maybe too hot. I really hope he is okay. I assume it’s maybe just because he is scared and stressed out.
MelloJelloXo yes most likely. I have 2 hamsters and they both hid under their wheels 1 of them I got a month ago. The other one I got 3-4 days ago. They’re most likely scared or stressed but I suggest ruffling the bedding a round. I know..I know you shouldn’t wake the, up but if your really worried to the point you’re scared I think it’s for the best
[Lilac Clo⃠udz] Thank you for the suggestion!! Luckily he has been coming out more often and even taking treats from my hands.
Cxprii Yes...but your not supposed to wake them up. And if you just got them your supposed to leave them alone for 3 days straight in a dark quiet room
SAME. She doesn’t even come out in the night (I’m a light sleeper and will wake up with really little noises). I see u commented that 1 year ago...can u update me if ur hamster came out?
Brought mine home and he went straight for the wheel, hes curious and confident ❤🐹
😂 Dwarf hamsters are pretty much a ball of fluff with a face and feet LOL
Your eyes😍
My hamster was so brave it only to him 2 weeks to tame and I was so proud of him
A ball of fluff with a face and feet :'''D
This helped me a lot since I was getting very anxious because my hamster I got 3-4 days ago hasn't drank at all or enough for me to see a difference.
How is she/him? :)
@@bumblebeeandsailem3166 Shes great :) she’s a winter white hamster and is healthy and happy. She loves mealworms and running on her wheel!
i just bought the most chill hamster ever- easy to handle, already eating and on it's wheel- but there's one thing bothering me
my little sweetheart beezle is pooping AND trying to nest in her wheel? i'd rather her not try to sleep in her own poo. or on the wheel in general. i've only had her for a few days so i'm gonna watch and see if she figures out that her wheel isnt the best place to sleep (or poop), but does anyone have explanation??
i forgot to mention she's a syrian, probably almost two months old
Some hamsters are just strange like that! I wouldn't worry about it too much, she just probably feels safest in the wheel.
Jenna Marie
nintenhoe I know exactly why your hamster is doing that, (at least I think so) I heard if a hamster does that, it's cage or house is too small, so you might want to move it to a bigger cage/house. I don't know anything about why it's pooping in its wheel but mine does the same sometimes and I just spot clean it. (Btw I got my info from a hamster ytber and this isn't anything biased) :)
They might poop there because they can't control where they poop so if they are running on their wheel they might poop but it can happen anywhere at anytime! They might sleep there because there is not enough hideouts for them or even nesting material :)
I got my hamster last night she’s a robo dwarf and she wasn’t hiding but she was just staring at me
Areli Moreno lol that’s what my new Syrian does if she’s out and I look in her cage, she just freezes and stares at me (or in my direction since hamsters can see more then a few inches in front of them) and then carries on after a few seconds
Lizzie me too. i just got my hamster yesterday and i’m nervous that he’s scared of me! do u think he is?
@@libbypollock1148 i think that’s normal for a new hamster don’t worry 🤗
@@libbypollock1148 oop this was a year ago-
i got Pumpkin a saucer because she had one at petco. i thought she would adapt better with some things that she recognized. i heard her running all around, playing with toys, i saw her going on her wheel, eating food, drinking water on the night i got her. i heard her at 10:00 pm. she had a very stressful day because after we got her, we had to go to a few stores so i left her alone when we got home. i saw her get up once during the day to get some food and water, so i tried putting a treat on my hand for her to eat. she hesitated until she noticed it was a oat banana treat. nom nom! i thought it must be her favorite. she took pieces off at a time to chew on it. she really liked it! she's a golden baby syrian. i watched lots of videos on wet tail. i'm very scared she'll get it, but i am not trying to stress her out at all. but i did notice that when i got her, she had blood on her nose. she had a cage mate at petco ( her sister) and they weren't even eight weeks old! she was the only one there with Pumpkin, so i think it was her. but another hamster might have been there. i washed up her wound when she woke up at 10:00. there was a little scar. i felt really bad for Pumpkin :( i watched Pumpkin fill her cheek a few times though lol it was adorable!
I have a sryian,I got him 15 days ago.He is starting to drink,and it from my hand,ahh thanks so much for all your great videos!^^
Great news that your new hammie is coming round to you! I remember how happy I was when my syrian started to get used to me! ❤
I just got a winter white hamster exactly 24 hours ago and I’ve only seen him come out once. His cage is in a room with a tv so that probably why
You might want to move him to a place where there isn't a TV because it's better to have them in a quiet room
*just an opinion*
your eyes are really really pretty omg
I know right.... So beautiful
My hamster is sleeping a lot ! And he doesnt playing with his wheel or with his toys
same with my robo dwarf ginger
Same with my hamster
I just realized my hamster is not a robo dwarf it is a baby Syrian hamster loo
YEAH SAME
Same here i got 2 of them they were really active when i got them now they just eat and sleep have in mind they are tamed they dont stress if i want to pet them a little or hold them.
My Syrian hamster I have had him for 3 days now and he lets me stroke him but when should I start trying to pick him up without worrying him
"gather it all at once and eat from its bed" same
I got a winter white dwarf and he seems pretty friendly and happy in his cage I'm just worried he's not big enough to run on his wheel yet because he goes on it but he seems to have trouble knowing what it's for and it's the medium 6.5 inch silent spinner but I just got him so he's not that big yet
I got my hamster yesterday from a local pet shop. They had a winter white and a Syrian. The Syrian was a young female (even though I was looking for a male) I COULDN'T RESIST!!! I got her and LOVE HER and her personality. She had nothing but a water bottle, food dish, cardboard tube, and an inch of bedding. She was healthy and eating a healthy diet so I took her home and but her on her cadge. She hid at first, but a few minutes later she came out and explored. Even tho I really shouldn't start taking as soon as I got her ( It wasn't really taming ) I went to her cadge and she came to look at me. She started grooming in front of me and and let me pet her! She is such an sweetie!♥️
My new hamster had a really good night last night. She was running on her wheel very fast (from what I could hear), and I heard her burrowing. She did all this as soon as I went to bed and turned the lights off. I will be patient with her, it's totally worth it
Hi Erin. I am a new hamster mama. I have a beautiful Syrian called Lois Hammiton. She is 9 weeks old. She has started her taming now with me and has lots of great boredom breaker toys from viovet. Great site by the way, thanks for you blogs. She put her boredom breaker caterpillar in her penthouse bed. She loves it so much. She is doing a lot of bar chewing and I have watched you video and other but I was wondering if she is doing this for my attention. She only does it when I'm in the room and she is looking right at me. What a little devil.
Charley D I am late but it’s probably because your cage is too small and it probably want your attention cause it thinks you will change the cage
My hamster Puff learned how to use her ball, and now she wants to do it all the time. No matter what the time is...But then I realized her wheel was to small :P buying a bigger wheel tomorrow.
What kind of hamster is ur hamster that depends on the size of the wheel
Oh did was 1 year ago my bad
When I heard the words
"Don't worry!"
You don't know how relieved I was.
Thanks, :)
i buyd my hamster yesterday and it already was energic and it looked happy it looked really happy when i put her in my hand. today she started to drink im so happy but she doesnt use the wheel yet. ❤️❤️
When I first got my hamster I used to wake her up in the day😭 but know I've watched you and Victoria raechel and I've learn to not wake them up but listen to this every time I have food my hamster wakes up🤣🤣
Victoria is the hamster police. Annoying and does it to get big on TH-cam
@@whyjustwhy2168 no..she’s doing it to EDUCATE others. if we didn’t have her, most hamsters would probably be living in critter trails 😔 she is the queen of hamster care 👑✨
@@whyjustwhy2168 i get you may think shes a "know it all" or something, but shes very polite with her advice. her channel is about hamster care and if you dont want to learn about then dont watch her. she taught me a lot and i appreciate her help.
If a hamster is making its nest in its wheel and then plays in the wheel while the food is still in it, DO NOT CLEAN IT OUT! Instead, try taking the wheel out during the day time while its sleeping and it the food/bedding in a different area. Be eventually the hamster will make its nest somewhere else. If u leave the wheel in there and clean it out every time, it will start peeing on its food, doing its business in the wheel, and continue to play in the wheel. This much exposure to the ammonia in its urine and chemicals in its poop can cause health risks. Not major risks but risks that can developed over much time. This behavior is normal but it is sometimes not a good thing.
Wow thanks
when i first bought my hamster she ran around her cage and she would never stop using the wheel like she literally loved it
Running araound is stress
what you said in the beginning about not eating: my hamster ate soooo much(not saving it, really eating) and i think it‘s because when we bought her we also bought her bedding and similar toys and the same food as she had in her cage in the petshop. in Germany, where i live, the petshop i know they have good made cages, so enough space, and toys and all they need, which i think is really good
Hi Erin. I've got no question, but I'm a huge hamster fanatic like you are. I just wanted to say that you have gorgeous eyes. I can't help but get lost in them.
her eyes REALLY are pretty :)
My hamster is not scared and drinks water in front of me and all that, but whenever I put my finger in the cage or try to give her a treat, she bites me really hard. I'm trying to be patient, but I don't know why she's so mad at me! And when I see her running around and playing, every couple seconds she stands on her back paws are is in the position she's in when she bites. How do I convince her that she shouldn't bite me?
Try rubbing your hands in bedding that she's ran on. Then you won't smell as different. Try wearing gloves if your nervous. Hope that helped abit x
+Alicetheunicorn thanks :3
Probably she's still scared of you
Kaitlyn tame her
Kaitlyn same
I got my new hamster 4 days ago and he is yet to use the wheel. He was already tame when I got him and more curious then stressed when I took him home. He eats and drinks properly. He spends most of his time burrowing and he is still very active but doesn't use the wheel. (The wheel is the right size for him, his claws aren't over grown, and it is not barred/wired wheel)
Oh my gosh! I came here because my hamster wasn’t eating (I just got him) but while I was watching he used his ramp! Drank water! Ate food! And climbed around his cage!!!! And I normally wouldn’t do this but he was so chill with me having my hands in his cage to give him treats and what not, but I put my hand in the cage and he went to it and I pet him a little and he loved it! He is so sweet! ( he is a long haired Syrian)
7:01 LOVE THE DESCRIPTION! 😂💟😂💟😂💟😂
I just bought a hamster 3 days ago and she's still scared when I try to touch it, is it normal?
Yes my hamster dose that too
Yes, it’s scared and needs to be given days to adjust with no interaction, then gradually trained to get used to the hand
My robo was nuts in the shop earlier but then at home it was curled up in a ball for ages. I was worried so thank you, thank you.
THANK YOU !!!
I'm a proud new owner of a Winter White. (Handmade huge habitat, best of everything, big wheel, 15 cm substrate... basically I followed your instructions), but I was worried Gatsby sleeps all day, and most of the night.
PS. I have a cat, and he's very interested in the new member of the family (No access, no harm), but, of course, the hamster can smell the cat.
I'll work on this.
My hamster is so active and so cute I got him a few hours ago
if u have a cage with a tube attached to it and ur hamster stays in it all the time im sure its normal. when i got my hamster she stayed in her tube for a few days before coming out.
My hamster moved her bedding and food and stayed in it for a bit
thank god for this video- i was so concered- i got batata yesterday and he was supper active- today he seems so tuckered out- he ran on his wheel a little and munched on food but he just seems very tired
Just got my hamster today and glad to say she loves her toys and is so cute
My brand new robo is so scared!
His name is olly and he’s just sitting still
I had mine for a week and he still stays in his house and won’t come out no matter what I do
Same thing with mine, I just got it yesterday, I know I’m a bit late,so can I have any tips on how you got it to come out,please?
You can smear some peanut butter on like a chew toy then wipe the peanut butter of so the chew toy has that strong smell...might lure the hamster out 🤗 well i mean that’s what i did for my hamster but i don’t know 🤷♀️
I got the sweetest baby Syrian today- I came here as I was concerned that she wasn't drinking (She seems comfortable enough with everything else and is running on her wheel currently) she has eaten. This really helped me, thank you♡♡ I'll keep an eye on her incase
My hamster that I got yesterday wasn't drinking and while you were talking about not drinking I had a quick look in the room with my hamster and it was taking a sneaky sip her water!
:)
Uh, My brother has a hamster, and we had them since Nov. and he doesnt seem to be eating a whole lot. We constantly see his food bowl filled with food cause he isn't eating it. Is that alright? or just ignore it? Thanks
RyRylizzy
is the hamster eating ???
Milk Tae this was 2 years ago .
I have bought a new hamster just a few days ago called William. I try to hold him but every time I try to pick him up he runs away and he is very fast. When I do finally grab him, he jumps out of my hands. Erin, Please could you tell me why he is doing this and what I can do to make him stop?
Is he Robo? If so they are naturally skittish. All you need to do is tame William, start working with him such as a bath tub with a towel down and let him get use to your scent. While working with him try letting him take a sunflower from your fingers and once he is okay with that put the sunflower in the palm of your hand. You are just waiting for him to trust you. Try taking a piece of toilet paper and rubbing it on your hands & arms and putting it in his cage. Not only will he use it as bedding he will get use to your scent. Good luck to you and your hamster! :)
Thank you for your advice, It is proving very useful with William! Actually, William is a Syrian Hamster but your advice is still working for me so thank you soooo much for your help :)
You're very welcome. Glad I could help you both. Haha ;)
Did you tame him????
my hamster was the EXACT opposite of this! She was being all energetic, climbing all over her cage, (It was a wire cage because at the time we had nothing bigger. She's moved into a tub cage now.) running in her wheel (Again, too small, changed it after a few weeks.) drinking and stuffing all the stuff in her cheeks!
i just got a new hamster today and she loves her wheal, she eats normally and shes cleaning herself in the sand. Shes such a sweat heart. :)
My hamster is about 3week and it will squeak and it's not coming out of the cage ,it's really uneasy to tame what could I do......
A 3 week old hamster should still be with its mother, a hamster that young still partly relies on its mother's milk for sustenance. Once a hamster is over 4 weeks old then it can leave the mother and be rehomed, taming a hamster can take several weeks or months so you must be patient.
+ErinsAnimals oh ...but it's mother died once they are born so I rehomed them and they just cry a lot and I cannot make it.
You should syringe feed it then, but i suggest taking it to an animal shelter. A three week old hamster should be relying on his mother
+Anna 88GT what's happening now is she or he healthy?
+Anna 88GT a three week year old hamster should still be with its mother 😐
Well, is it normal that I got a hamster today, after 5 minutes she was running around, eating, drinking, and playing with all her toys. She was using her wheel nonstop. Is that normal? Oh and she also didn't mind when I stroked it with my finger. I'm weirded out because that is not normal for a hamster that moved in earlier that day. It never even hid in its hidey house!! Is that normal?
Hamsters are nocturnal creatures which may explain why she didn't go in her hidey house.... I know they would be in it but, they have to get used to the area they are in. It depends on what kind of hamster you get, (although you need to tame your hamster) , dwarf hamsters (especially robo's) will bite. If it is a Syrian it shouldn't bite.
+XxSweetGamerxX
But what's weird is that it's a small hybrid.
It is probably already tame, in pet shops (well in my local pet shop) all the hamsters are tamed! They are used to going on wheels, drinking and eating and mostly playing😊😊😊
that is completely normal, my past Syrian Bear went strait for the wheel! It is normal especially if the hamster didn't have many toys
yes,my hamsters done that,but I am not allowed to pet them today,only tomorrow but when ever I put my finger near the cage my youngest Cake tries to snuggle up to it XD
“A ball of fluff with a face and feet!!” HaHaHa!!! 😂😂😂 I couldn’t stop laughing!!
I just got Cleopatra, a syrian hamster, yesterday, and I've had none of these problems haha she's SO confident! She was immediately running around, climbing all over, chewing on her toy and running on her wheel, with me sitting right there (clearly she knows she's a queen haha). Your channel is proving so helpful though thank you!
Wow! 🎉❤😊
Thank you. This video helped me a lot. I know this is off topic, but you have extremely beautifull eyes👀
Omg. This is a great video, but your eyes distracted me the whole time!*o*
Just got a new hamster today, I had one when I was a little girl and she was my best friend, everyday after school we would play and do tricks, and after she passed I never got another one. My daughter is now coming up for 4 and had been asking, so we went and got a 10 week old hamster from pets at home, I was very happy to see that they wouldn’t have let us leave without a really big cage, I’m glad people are coming to realise hamsters need bigger homes than they’re usually kept. He seems to be settling in great, he’s been on the wheel for a second and got a little fright when it moved and I’ve seen him nibble a few things, he’s very much trying to escape, but I understand 😂 this is all new to him
They have no idea we are watching this video because we are scared about them because we love them so much!❤️
thanks i was so scared about my hamster realy ty
I am getting two robo hamsters in a few days, should i put a teaspoon of food in the hideaways incase they are to scared to come out? I have also put the water bottle right next to the hideaway so they dont have to come out...but should i do the food thing??
i recommend putting the food in its regular bowl and the water bottle where ever you were going to put it :) just stay a little far away if you dont want them to be scared.
let them do it thereselves
once I was playing with my hamster, she would climb on my arm and hands and she seemed really relaxed. And then she suddenly looked at a wall and froze. She looked so scared and I didn't know why so I gently put my hands around her and picked her up to put her in front of her house. A few hours later she got out perfectly fine. I'm sure they feel like their little house is their safiest place to stay in that's why they wouldn't leave it when they're frightened.
This saved me. I was scared Timmy was too stressed, which I'm sure he is, but this really relieved me.
Okay, so I got my New Syrian hamster today. and he's eating, running on his wheel, and he goes in and out of his hiding thingy, but he won't let me touch him. (I know your supposed to leave him alone but I wanted to test to see if he was tame or not) but he's doing all that, just I cannot touch him. any advice?
Arianna Weatherly PATIENCE, child.
Same mine won't let me touch pet or hold him either but he acts normally
Your eyes are stunning. Wow, they look almost unreal, you're so lucky
A roll of lump, face and feet!
Best explanation of Dwarf Hamsters. EVER
Erin you should get A Chinchilla! There So FLUFFY
my new hamster isn't shy about gathering up all the food - and putting it in the corner he's designated as the toilet for some reason.
As hindgut fermenters there is a kind of poop that they have that is soft and white. It's perfectly normal for them, also they do eat it, much how cows eat cud. It's how they get the full nutrition out of their food.
Just got a syrian, he was so chill on the shoe box i used to bring it home, he felt really good on his new environment 👌
Mine is very cautious and skittish, she’s constantly in her tube and won’t come out at all lmao. She chugged down all of her water though but doesn’t eat as much! She’s a sweet little thing though but I understand she needs her space right now
Just got my hamster today :) she's very scared and quite young. She only was in the store cage for four days so I get why she's scared. She does none of these things though, as she is playing with the toys, ate, drank and all the others. :D
I’ve just seen this video now and it’s put my mind at ease, thank you so much!! As someone with anxiety I’m always over thinking and worrying😂 and I’ve only gotten my hamster today and I was a bit worried with the way he was acting but you’ve really helped, thanks again for the great video!❤️
I got a Russian Campbell’s on Wednesday and he’s been so playful happy and hyper and loves being petted already!! And he’s not even tames properly yet! His name is Fudge 😍
My hamster is literally doing all of those things. I have had him for almost a day and I have only seen him come out by himself 1 time. In was really worried but not anymore! I will be patient and make sure I don't stress him out!!! Thank you!
This video helped me out I lot as I bought a hamster three days ago and was worried because he didn't come out of his bed at all! :)
I just got a hamster a few days ago and she acts like she's been in her new cage her entire life and she's even calm enough to where I can hand feed her
also if youre really worried you hamster isnt drinking you can get a marker and mark where you filled it up to then after a few days you can check it i suggest using a thin erasable marker though
The saddest thing about TH-cam is seeing all these comments from 3-7 years ago knowing every single person in here who was talking about their hamster... has had to see that hamster cross the rainbow bridge. Oh god, I swear this isn't a troll comment. I guess I'm just getting a bit existential about my own furball who is pushing 2.
I got my Syrian today and in her cage at the pet store all she had was a plastic hut and a tiiiny wire wheel. When I brought her home she used the wheel for a long time! I think she was excited to get an 11 in wheel :3
PS.. She doesn't seem very stressed so that's good but she hasn't quite figured out her toys yet :) Her name is Tater Tot.
I just got a hamster and after exploring the cage, he started foraging alllllll the food and getting it to a safe spot where I couldn't see him. He did drink a little and smelled my hand. But then it disappeared into a tunnel that is under the bedding (where he took is food). So only then I started to worry a little bit but this video reassured me that I have to be patient even though it's super hard lol. Thanks! And I was wondering how to see the weight loss, so thank you for this information too. Super helpful.
My Syrian was like that for a while. On the other hand the female Campbell's hybrid I just got was curious about everything and loved everything lol
I just got my hamster today and it’s groomed in front of me, eaten , drank and played with all its toys :)
My new hamster is going nuts, while also not eating drinking or using his wheel. I am STRESSED.
I'm lucky so far, only been home for a few hours and hes running on him wheel, playing with toys and looking out the cage bars at the family. In the box home, he was standing up and looking right at me.
My syrian hamster has been a huge work in progress! He was super skiddish when he came home for about the first 2 weeks! I did a lot of taming training and he was taking treats from my hand! Then week 3 he got out of the cage and he had a stressful day! My dog found him and my husband has to grab him! Now he won’t even come near me and we’re back to square one 😫 Trying to be patient!
My new hamster uses the top of its wheel as a bridge to get to the other platform 😂😂💜
I recently just got a Syrian and I have noticed that she hasn't been opening her eyes and at the store they were wide open and clear then she got home and a couple hours later she started to keep her eyes slightly open.
When she said that most hamster may not I started laughing and say to myself that my hamster was a pig when I does got him lol as soon as he was put in his tank he went straight to the food bowl lol 😂😂
I got my hamster from a proper home (the owners hamsters had babies which were bred humanly and ethically) and it seems to be perfectly comfortable! It's running on its wheel and going through its tunnel and eating and drinking! I think this is because it has been handled by the previous owners and was 10-weeks-old. So I really recommend going onto Pets4Homes and looking for animals near your area if you are looking for a pet.🐹🐹
Thank god! I was paranoid all day.
