No matter how many times she says 450sq inches as the bare minimum the still get small cages. It's goes in one ear and comes out the other. Love you ❤️
I really don’t understand the people that send her cages to review that are 70-200 sq inches. Like if you’re sending her your cage you obviously watch her videos and if you want her videos you should know the minimum requirements
Katrīna Šitca And some parents don’t believe or care if their child has to small of a cage, put getting a pro in there and saying it’s too small is that push for parents to get good care for their children’s pets.
Sometimes I feel guilty that I can’t give my hamster a detolf. She has 500 sq inches. When I watch these videos it reminds me that I’m a good hamster owner. She is happy but, I want to provide her with the best life possible.
Maddie Johnsons the price isn’t the issue. I have a tiny room and there wouldn’t be space for a bigger tank. She is happy it’s just you see people with MASSIVE tanks and it makes we wish that I could give her that.
@@sidsmells what about upgrading your cage in height? I know it's not the same but you could put a level inside with the same measurements as the actual cage providing more space for accessories🤗. I would suggest combining the layers with a long ramp, I bet your Hamster would enjoy the extra space as you could add even more bedding at the bottom because you can put things like wheels in the top. Hope I could help you!
@@sidsmells Im happy you like the idea! If you have problems imaginating it I suggest looking at this picture I took the idea from: www.pinterest.at/pin/619033911259616763/ (I know it's not big enough) Have a wonderful evening!
We can never get enough of these reaction videos, Victoria :) BTW, my daughters (9 and 7) totally love your videos and my son (3) calls you "Victorian Raechel". We don't correct him because it's so cute. Thank you for all of the work you do. We got a hamster last summer (Hammy Whiskers is his name) and thanks to your videos I was able to build him a bin cage with the right requirements needed. Without your videos I would have just purchased a cage from the pet store. Thank you! You are a gem in this community! ~Jennifer Scott

This video has been so difficult to complete 😂 I had to upload it THREE TIMES! The first time it uploaded with no audio, the second time I had forgotten to edit a section out, and the third time as I was exporting it out of Final Cut Pro it decided it wanted to get stuck at 50% done every time so i had to figure out how to fix that, but phew this video is finally done and I really hope everyone understands how much work these really take to make. I also want to remind everyone to be kind in the comments, if you don’t have nothing nice to say don’t say it at all! 🤗 These people entered their enclosures because they wanted feedback and help on changing how they care for their hamsters so rude comments towards them doesn’t help.
I completely understand the difference between hamsters and guinea pigs but I just found out that in Switzerland it’s illegal to own only 1 Guinea pig (because they are very much social animals). I just thought it was cool! Have a good day
yes, but actually many people don't care and have only one after the other dies :( (i'm from switzerland and i take lonely guineapigs because i have enough space for about 25 guineapigs)
@@Freaky0Nina I'm a rat owner but I'm guessing it's pretty similar. Rats also need to live in pairs so when one dies it's recommended to get a pair of babies to be introduced to the older rat. That way when the older one dies the babies will still have eachother
I’m kinda sad this is your last one in this series. I think it really helps people see what’s wrong to improve their cages. I also really liked that no names were put on the cages therefore it’s not shaming either. I really enjoyed your input. Thank you for this entire series!♥️
What is very sad is that the petsmart in my city uses wired mesh wheels for their hamsters and rodents. I tend to think, "what if someone buys the hamster and they come home with it already having bumble foot?". Also, thank you so much for choosing my cage for the video
SAME! i was gonna tell the employee but my dad didn't let me! at least they have only one/two in a cage and a chew, unlike my other pet store which has 3 in a cage!
@@mimifrench haha you have no idea how hard I have to hold back from telling the employees that most of the stuff they have or do isnt that great for their hammys
I don’t understand why people sell the wrong cages like what’s the point! People are going to see that it says it’s for hamsters and won’t understand what they are doing wrong.

How to keep a hamster humanely according to Victoria apply this to your hamster. -Big plastic wheel so they can run(Only silent spinners the dish looking ones if they are big enough but they are often to small) -Robo Hamster need a wheel with cover so they don’t go flying. -450 square inches or bigger. -A lot of places to hide. -Sandbath with a hide they can use inside the sand. -10 inches of bedding. -Keep hamster by them self! Extra points if it’s natural I feel like it’s easy to follow.
-Never use dust baths, they can cause respiratory problems -Never wash hamster with water or any wet substance - If you choose to give your hamster a water dish, change the water out every day or at least twice a day -Use safe bedding. Paper is recommended, wood shavings are dangerous - Give your hamster a proper diet of good brand food (not the commercial brands), fruits and vegetables, and timothy hay. Make sure to research how much food and what type is good. -More toys= more productivity - Scatter feeding promotes simulation of the wild for hamsters - Dwarf Hamsters: 6-8 inch+ wheel -Syrians: 8 (for babies, mostly) - 12 inch+ wheel -Can have a hideout with multiple rooms to promote burrowing or hiding of food -Plastic tubing not recommended, ventilation tends to be not the best.
My robo doesn't have a cover for her wheel and she's perfectly fine. I haven't even seen her go flying of it (though she did fly out of her flying saucer a few time during playtime in her playpen. So I don't use that anymore)
Victoria Raechel this is a little random, but do you know anything abt guinea pigs? Because we might get two. I found a cage that meets requirements two house two and plan to use fleece and bedding (I also use the bedding for my hamster it’s the kaytee clean and cozy) but I want to do more research on guinea pigs before making an impulse buy if you know anything it would be a big help, thanks :)
Victoria is so kind! If Victoria saw a VERY bad cage she would be the person to just give them advice in a kind way, always get your research from Victoria!
3:45 I'm pretty sure (from experience) that the wheel is 7.5 inches. I got it at first for my Syrian but upgraded to an 11.5 inch because it was way too small.
Its the pets at home silent wheel I've had it before but it broke after a year of my dwarf using it and its just over 6.5 inches it's more like 6.7 inches
I have that wheel for my dwarf hamster and it's about 6.5-7 inches. It's so disappointing that pets at home advertises it for Syrians and 5.5 inch wheels for dwarf hamsters :(
I like how she’s so respectful when she gives the advice, and if they have a cage that’s way too small, she doesn’t yell at them she says stuff in a nice way 🙂👍
Fuzzy Rodent Tips i get where you are going with this but if they buy the wrong cage and some wrong stuff they can save up to get a new cage and stuff for them! Thank you!❤️
Just be careful Fuzzy Rodent Tips how you word things and when considering hamsters.Sometimes people go to pet stores and get loads of advice from them and they might not think to look online because they believe the pet store employees.Then when they come to finding out correct information if they are children they may struggle to get their parents to be reducated and to go out and buy the correct things for hamsters.
Camerstars :D I did that then i started watching Victoria and she explained my cage is too small. So I’m trying my hardest to get/build a new one, its just my mom being stubborn and my dad is all for it bc he loves my hamster, she just thinks the plastic from made in America bins is going to kill my hamster. I’m trying to prove she is wrong but i think she is just penny pinching even tho my uncle already has all the stuff to help me make it and i have money saved up to fill it. So i really hope she comes around and lets me do this. I just feel awful that I didn’t know this information before getting my cage.
Thank you so so much for including my 2 separate 30 gallon tanks!! The boxes were from Ikea, and we've started adding a LOT of bedding so they can burrow and nest!! Love you content
@@VictoriaRaechel Victoria in the video you said hamsters should have 10 inches of bedding but is 7 inches still ok for a dwarf hamster with 636 sq inches of floor space Also could you please mention in your videos that people shouldn't split there enclosures into deep bedding and shallow bedding parts unless the cage is at least 1300 sq inches big I love you, your pets and your videos 💖 And I'm really grateful that you go out if your way to share how people should corecctly care for hamsters.
I have a similar cage to the Savic cage shown. So I can’t put in ten inches of bedding for my Syrian. I put a cardboard box in half the cage filled with bedding so half of his cage has a lot of bedding for burrowing. I just wanted to put that out there for anyone who wants to put more bedding for your hamster. Thanks!!
I felt like i've waited this video to upload for my whole life 🤣. Because of you my hamster get a better life and a big bin cage😊, your channel has given me so much knowleged about hamster cares in general . When i heard you said that 450 inches of floor space is the bare minimum ,I quickly measure my old cage and relized that it was too small, the next day when i go shopping with my mom I found a bin ,which is perfect . Thank you very much for creating such a helpful channel 🔥🔥❤ Edit: please don't mind my awful grammar
Okay, no... My hamster lives in a 50 gallon tank ( I found it on Craigslist for $30) he has plenty of bedding (up to 11in) and has a properly sized wheel and my 12 year old self paid for him, I don't expect for people to find a huge tank for $30 but I only spent $100 on him and his stuff and I made most of his toys. But now he has everything he is ganna need for a long time. "I can't afford to" isn't a excuse ... There are ways around that. Another thing that helps me is I make my hamster bedding and that cuts the cost down A LOT. So do some research and there are definitely ways to get around financial problems and if you are to lazy to take the extra time, then you probably shouldn't be owning a animal.
I agree, I mean I’m 20 and I’m spending a LOT to fully upgrade and crowd my boyfriend’s hamster’s cage, but the minimum requirements can be easily accessed if you need them. I made a bin cage for around $25, I got some basic ceramic bowls, bedding, and etc on sale. I’m mostly spending a lot of money on niteangel stuff because I can afford to, but the dollar store and Craigslist have some great options. Good on you!
@@kiki-gd8yr the person used r/wooosh in the wrong way Z but ok I'll explain it I guess. r/ = reddit Wooosh = when someone takes a joke seriously. The first person understood the joke but said it should be less, so the 2nd person used r/wooosh wrong. :)
@@hamsterlove789 She posts about hamsters the most but since her banner banner says "Hamster, rabbits and more" I never assumed it was only a hamster channel. Especially since she does make videos about her other pets sometimes
I am formulating a plan for my 1st hamster in 56 years . . .Thank you Victoria your videos are perfect. I am going to join 2 55 gallon plastic bins together for him. Maybe even a TH-cam video
I love how the 10 gallon guy or girl said “my haMmIe lOveS iTs cAge” uh duh they don’t stop lying to yourself they aren’t gonna love something that is as large as them lmfao
Weirdo gacha It’s not really about cost since I made my bin cage (around 650 sq inches) with the same/maybe even less cost as a 10 gallon tank. People saying that their hammies “love” their tiny cage is just absurd is what the OP was saying. If they can’t afford a good cage for a hamster, they shouldn’t get one. That goes for anybody.
@@maddiee1414 well she’s not really “my friend” she’s my friends nabor and the owner of the hamster is 5 😒 DONT GET HAMSTERS FOR 5 YEAR OLDS! Ugh! So sadly she can’t watch TH-cam! And her parents don’t understand nor care!
Thanks so much victoria! I got my hamster for Christmas yesterday and i never would have been able to care for it right without ur vids! Thank you! (I did a lot of research before getting my hamster)
The holiday bins are the BEST!!! I found these about 3 years ago when I started owning hamsters and they’re absolutely fantastic for dwarfs and robos. It isn’t big enough for Syrians in my opinion. My Syrians have need more running and climbing space and always seem so be bored in just that bin. My current Syrian has a wide/deep bin on bottom and it is connected to a holiday bin on top. She hasn’t been bored since I got her a year ago!! Took a bit of engineering but it was totally worth it :)
Great video Victoria! I always love your videos. I put my cage in but you didn’t put it in the video… Oh well! My cage meets the requirements and these videos are all about educating people so I am fine with giving up my spot to someone who may now be treating their hamster better than they were before watching this video. Keep up the good work! 😘 🐹
All my cages (3 atm) are modified cages, with the top levels usually attached onto wooden bases. My oldest little man Popcorn has a Rosewood pico on top of a base with a 1000 square inches of space. Oddly he spends most of his time as high as poss. He's got a nest on every level but not where he has a little hide in his huge basement. Funny little guy.
Thank you for all your help! I am looking to get a fancy bear syrian hamster, and your videos have been so helpful! I am sure my hamster will live a long, happy life because of you! thanks again!
You have helped me so much with my long haired serian and he sadly passed and i just got a robo dwart named pepper and she has an amazing life bc you have helped me get everything she needs.
In 3 days I’m turning 14! I might get a hamster, I don’t fully know if I will because of what’s happening right. About 4-5 months ago I found you. I watched your videos for a week and then decided that I wanted a hamster. I went to the store with my mom and in while we were driving to the store I asked my mom if I could have a hamster. She asked some stuff that I need to know. What kind of bedding, food, how big should the cage be, how much bedding... of course I answered that because for some of those questions you answer in every video. So she said “make me something to show what you would do to prove that you are responsible, what you would do to take care of the hamster, and how much you know about the hamster.” So I did, I’m pretty sure that I persuaded her. Throughout the 4-5 months when I asked I learned so much more stuff. So I’m really excited for my birthday because I really want a hamster.❤️Taylor
im doing as much research as possible before i get my hamster for christmas. he's gonna live in a large tank, with a natural rainforest theme. ill be getting a lot of wooden toys and hides, as well as using different substrates and paper based bedding, with a large sand bath area. ill also include moss and hay, as well as sprays and i lot more. needless to say im well prepared to take care of my little hammy! and ill make sure to have everything proper ready before adopting him. i plan to get some breed of dwarf.
I’m so excited tomorrow I’m picking up my new hamster!!!! I love ur channel it is so inspiring and helpful for many hamster owners and me even with owning mice.
For everybody wondering about bin cages, i looked up EVERYTHING and it took me a long time but, the bin cage, AND everything inside it costs $58, it might cost more for you, because i already had toys, a bendy bridge, and a wooden tube
I did comparison between the Detolf and 55gal tanks and went with the 55 gal tank since it was on sale at petco and had to get 2 since i have 2 hamsters and added lots of bedding. My hammies are LOVING their new home and been using their underground tunnels I made. Now im working on making ledges and bridges etc for them to climb
21:16 Yes, the hamster is VERY cute, but i have never seen a hamster with such giant ears .-. EDIT: I mean this is a good way, i think it's ears and itself is very cute
I really want a hamster and I'm sick. So I'm literally watching this taking notes til I get enough money to get a hamster and the stuff for it! New subscriber!!!
@@mrlynx68 I got a hamster in June so I've had him for about 3 or 4 months. He is the sweetest little guy. I got a winter white hamster. And he is super cute 😍
A few suggestions for an appropriate hamster cage At the very least a 450 Square Inch cage, but more is always better Plenty of wheel space, at least enough to not make the hamsters back bend (if it is a Syrian hamster at least 11-12 inches will be the minimum) At least 6 inches of bedding (hamsters burrow and they can't burrow with nothing to burrow with) A decently sized sand bath Hideouts Hamsters don't need tall cages so no need to worry about a second level Moderate room temperatures If you have other pets who might eat your hamster, Add a lid or keep the hamster in a different room the pet cannot enter in It's safe to say all store bought hamster cages are not nearly big enough, so consider wooden cages, bins, and whatever else is safe Yes I don't have a hamster
I did a challenge where my room turned into a hamster cage, my hamster was like as happy as he could be in hammy heaven her was lictually burrowing like CRAZY so I slept in my spare room XD woke up to my hamster running the room like " Get out 0-0" XD
I love your videos sooo much they have shown me that my cage needs an upgrade so I have spent alot of money and alot of time on a new bin cage(I watched your tutorial on how to make one!)thank you so much
Then they shouldn't ask for advice if they will get mad when she says it isn't perfect although I don't think it really has to be perfect all it needs is minimum size cage , roof, toys, food

I’m confused of why do people still have wrong care for a hamster even though they watch Victoria
Aqoria true
I said the same thing to myself
Some people don’t have the resources to get better care for their pets. Also side note your profile pic makes me sad ;-;
fannypack well if they don’t have enough money why’d even get a hamster in the first place. N yes the hamster was scared.

haha no!
You aren't! I watch it because I think I'm getting my first hamster soon.
How to keep a hamster humanely according to Victoria apply this to your hamster.
-Big plastic wheel so they can run(Only silent spinners the dish looking ones if they are big enough but they are often to small)
-Robo Hamster need a wheel with cover so they don’t go flying.
-450 square inches or bigger.
-A lot of places to hide.
-Sandbath with a hide they can use inside the sand.
-10 inches of bedding.
-Keep hamster by them self!
Extra points if it’s natural
I feel like it’s easy to follow.
Large silent spinners are alright, as seen in the video, the 12 inch one.
-Never use dust baths, they can cause respiratory problems
-Never wash hamster with water or any wet substance
- If you choose to give your hamster a water dish, change the water out every day or at least twice a day
-Use safe bedding. Paper is recommended, wood shavings are dangerous
- Give your hamster a proper diet of good brand food (not the commercial brands), fruits and vegetables, and timothy hay. Make sure to research how much food and what type is good.
-More toys= more productivity
- Scatter feeding promotes simulation of the wild for hamsters
- Dwarf Hamsters: 6-8 inch+ wheel
-Syrians: 8 (for babies, mostly) - 12 inch+ wheel
-Can have a hideout with multiple rooms to promote burrowing or hiding of food
-Plastic tubing not recommended, ventilation tends to be not the best.
The flying saucer wheels are perfectely fine...I use them for all my hamsters...

My robo doesn't have a cover for her wheel and she's perfectly fine. I haven't even seen her go flying of it (though she did fly out of her flying saucer a few time during playtime in her playpen. So I don't use that anymore)
A hamster does not “love their cage” if it’s too small
A lot of the times many just learn to live with what they're given which just isn't fair to them :(
Victoria Raechel this is a little random, but do you know anything abt guinea pigs? Because we might get two. I found a cage that meets requirements two house two and plan to use fleece and bedding (I also use the bedding for my hamster it’s the kaytee clean and cozy) but I want to do more research on guinea pigs before making an impulse buy if you know anything it would be a big help, thanks :)

Victoria is so kind! If Victoria saw a VERY bad cage she would be the person to just give them advice in a kind way, always get your research from Victoria!
Oop-
My sister got a hamster like idk..2 weeks ago...?
She called him teddy SOOOO CUTE!
Lol i have a hamster and i named it teddy too! Are we related?
I was going to name my hamster teddy but then I saw that the place were I was going to get him was calling him arbor so I used that instead
Julie Hall lol maybe
Pug Games I really hope that hamster lives in a good cage...there are so many people in this world that don’t keep their hamster in a good cage...
my hammy is also called Teddy! :)
3:45 I'm pretty sure (from experience) that the wheel is 7.5 inches. I got it at first for my Syrian but upgraded to an 11.5 inch because it was way too small.
Its the pets at home silent wheel I've had it before but it broke after a year of my dwarf using it and its just over 6.5 inches it's more like 6.7 inches
I have that wheel for my dwarf hamster and it's about 6.5-7 inches. It's so disappointing that pets at home advertises it for Syrians and 5.5 inch wheels for dwarf hamsters :(
That thing is fine for dwarfs robo etc but they just had to get it for a syrian... which would clearly not be big enough for it
@@kittenmimi5326 yeah that's what we are saying
I like how she’s so respectful when she gives the advice, and if they have a cage that’s way too small, she doesn’t yell at them she says stuff in a nice way 🙂👍
Thank you 😊💖
If you can’t afford a hamsters requirements don’t get one, simplr
I agree or maybe doing a bin cage can be affordable and homemade toys are cheap
Fuzzy Rodent Tips i get where you are going with this but if they buy the wrong cage and some wrong stuff they can save up to get a new cage and stuff for them! Thank you!❤️
Just be careful Fuzzy Rodent Tips how you word things and when considering hamsters.Sometimes people go to pet stores and get loads of advice from them and they might not think to look online because they believe the pet store employees.Then when they come to finding out correct information if they are children they may struggle to get their parents to be reducated and to go out and buy the correct things for hamsters.
Camerstars :D
I did that then i started watching Victoria and she explained my cage is too small. So I’m trying my hardest to get/build a new one, its just my mom being stubborn and my dad is all for it bc he loves my hamster, she just thinks the plastic from made in America bins is going to kill my hamster. I’m trying to prove she is wrong but i think she is just penny pinching even tho my uncle already has all the stuff to help me make it and i have money saved up to fill it. So i really hope she comes around and lets me do this. I just feel awful that I didn’t know this information before getting my cage.
My friend has a hamster and when I see that crittertrale I have nightmares

Thank you so so much for including my 2 separate 30 gallon tanks!! The boxes were from Ikea, and we've started adding a LOT of bedding so they can burrow and nest!! Love you content
Glad to hear that you upgraded your cage 👌❤️😊
I really like it when you react to other people's hamster cages I just enjoy watching it and seeing what you say
Thank you!
I’m obsessed you truly do have the hamsters best interest😍
Thank you! I try my best, they're something I really care about.
@@VictoriaRaechel Victoria in the video you said hamsters should have 10 inches of bedding but is 7 inches still ok for a dwarf hamster with 636 sq inches of floor space
Also could you please mention in your videos that people shouldn't split there enclosures into deep bedding and shallow bedding parts unless the cage is at least 1300 sq inches big
I love you, your pets and your videos 💖
And I'm really grateful that you go out if your way to share how people should corecctly care for hamsters.
Also I don't have a hamster yet so I'm willing to upgrade the cage if I have to
@@crochet4life331 You are soooooooooooo right
@@crystalicecatangel6033thank you but about what?
I have a similar cage to the Savic cage shown. So I can’t put in ten inches of bedding for my Syrian. I put a cardboard box in half the cage filled with bedding so half of his cage has a lot of bedding for burrowing. I just wanted to put that out there for anyone who wants to put more bedding for your hamster. Thanks!!
I felt like i've waited this video to upload for my whole life 🤣. Because of you my hamster get a better life and a big bin cage😊, your channel has given me so much knowleged about hamster cares in general . When i heard you said that 450 inches of floor space is the bare minimum ,I quickly measure my old cage and relized that it was too small, the next day when i go shopping with my mom I found a bin ,which is perfect . Thank you very much for creating such a helpful channel 🔥🔥❤
Edit: please don't mind my awful grammar

Okay, no... My hamster lives in a 50 gallon tank ( I found it on Craigslist for $30) he has plenty of bedding (up to 11in) and has a properly sized wheel and my 12 year old self paid for him, I don't expect for people to find a huge tank for $30 but I only spent $100 on him and his stuff and I made most of his toys. But now he has everything he is ganna need for a long time. "I can't afford to" isn't a excuse ... There are ways around that. Another thing that helps me is I make my hamster bedding and that cuts the cost down A LOT. So do some research and there are definitely ways to get around financial problems and if you are to lazy to take the extra time, then you probably shouldn't be owning a animal.
That’s amazing!
I agree, I mean I’m 20 and I’m spending a LOT to fully upgrade and crowd my boyfriend’s hamster’s cage, but the minimum requirements can be easily accessed if you need them. I made a bin cage for around $25, I got some basic ceramic bowls, bedding, and etc on sale. I’m mostly spending a lot of money on niteangel stuff because I can afford to, but the dollar store and Craigslist have some great options. Good on you!

I understand the hamster enclosures are getting repetitive, but what about a bunny episode?
But she is a hamster channel
@@hamsterlove789 She posts about hamsters the most but since her banner banner says "Hamster, rabbits and more" I never assumed it was only a hamster channel. Especially since she does make videos about her other pets sometimes
@@vievie3661 yea
You can watch lennonthebunny on youtube, she posts only bunny videos. About cages, free roaming, hutches and more
I agree I’d like to see a bunny one ! I follow her and I like her channel but I only have a rabbit so I’m more interested in those tips
I am formulating a plan for my 1st hamster in 56 years . . .Thank you Victoria your videos are perfect. I am going to join 2 55 gallon plastic bins together for him. Maybe even a TH-cam video
I love how the 10 gallon guy or girl said “my haMmIe lOveS iTs cAge” uh duh they don’t stop lying to yourself they aren’t gonna love something that is as large as them lmfao
I hate it when people refuse to listen and be like "oh stop overreacting don't worry the hamster is happy"
Or
"It didn't die of stress"
@Weirdo gacha if they're searching for a cost friendly alternative, bin cages are a thing
Weirdo gacha It’s not really about cost since I made my bin cage (around 650 sq inches) with the same/maybe even less cost as a 10 gallon tank. People saying that their hammies “love” their tiny cage is just absurd is what the OP was saying. If they can’t afford a good cage for a hamster, they shouldn’t get one. That goes for anybody.
I just want to say that is noticed everyone's hamsters in this video are SOOOOO CUTE❣️ I have never seen a hamster that didn't melt my heart 😊😍
As a German I'm not sure how I feel about that colorful bedding... I'm so used to the natural colors in my enclosure LOL
im American and i dont like the colorful bedding lol. I think the natural colors look much better. Especially with the hamsters coat colors.
most of these cages look so great! I'm so happy for the little hammies

The holiday bins are the BEST!!! I found these about 3 years ago when I started owning hamsters and they’re absolutely fantastic for dwarfs and robos. It isn’t big enough for Syrians in my opinion. My Syrians have need more running and climbing space and always seem so be bored in just that bin. My current Syrian has a wide/deep bin on bottom and it is connected to a holiday bin on top. She hasn’t been bored since I got her a year ago!! Took a bit of engineering but it was totally worth it :)
Aww I wish I could have entered this time guess not :(
I'm sorry!
My robo dwarf hamster has a 40 gallon tank to himself and my parents think I'm insane but you can tell he loves it. :)
I didn’t think u were going for this again tori😂😂😂

Great video Victoria! I always love your videos. I put my cage in but you didn’t put it in the video… Oh well! My cage meets the requirements and these videos are all about educating people so I am fine with giving up my spot to someone who may now be treating their hamster better than they were before watching this video.

Nice!
when it says 23 seconds ago
gots a question can I house a momma and its 4 week son in a 650 sq inch bin
10 inch bedding
At 4 weeks they should be separated.
That is a big enough for one of them. Do not house them together though. No matter if they're related or not they should be seperated.
Please don't house them together, I did that one and the mom hurt the baby and he bassed away
@@yoohyeonforever7067 oh im sorry for your loss:(
All my cages (3 atm) are modified cages, with the top levels usually attached onto wooden bases. My oldest little man Popcorn has a Rosewood pico on top of a base with a 1000 square inches of space. Oddly he spends most of his time as high as poss. He's got a nest on every level but not where he has a little hide in his huge basement. Funny little guy.
It’s the last episode... and this is the first episode I’ve seen of the series lol

YAYYY IVE BEEN WAITING IN ANTICIPATION AND ITS FINALLY HERE!
You have helped me so much with my long haired serian and he sadly passed and i just got a robo dwart named pepper and she has an amazing life bc you have helped me get everything she needs.
In 3 days I’m turning 14! I might get a hamster, I don’t fully know if I will because of what’s happening right. About 4-5 months ago I found you. I watched your videos for a week and then decided that I wanted a hamster. I went to the store with my mom and in while we were driving to the store I asked my mom if I could have a hamster. She asked some stuff that I need to know. What kind of bedding, food, how big should the cage be, how much bedding... of course I answered that because for some of those questions you answer in every video. So she said “make me something to show what you would do to prove that you are responsible, what you would do to take care of the hamster, and how much you know about the hamster.” So I did, I’m pretty sure that I persuaded her. Throughout the 4-5 months when I asked I learned so much more stuff. So I’m really excited for my birthday because I really want a hamster.❤️Taylor
Fish Bug1864 omg we have like the same story!
Carla Eubanks HOW COOL!!!😂
im doing as much research as possible before i get my hamster for christmas. he's gonna live in a large tank, with a natural rainforest theme. ill be getting a lot of wooden toys and hides, as well as using different substrates and paper based bedding, with a large sand bath area. ill also include moss and hay, as well as sprays and i lot more. needless to say im well prepared to take care of my little hammy! and ill make sure to have everything proper ready before adopting him. i plan to get some breed of dwarf.
I’m so excited tomorrow I’m picking up my new hamster!!!! I love ur channel it is so inspiring and helpful for many hamster owners and me even with owning mice.
aw yay! thank you!
Can we take a moment to appreciate Victoria’s PC’s home screen? 😂😍
For everybody wondering about bin cages, i looked up EVERYTHING and it took me a long time but, the bin cage, AND everything inside it costs $58, it might cost more for you, because i already had toys, a bendy bridge, and a wooden tube
I did comparison between the Detolf and 55gal tanks and went with the 55 gal tank since it was on sale at petco and had to get 2 since i have 2 hamsters and added lots of bedding. My hammies are LOVING their new home and been using their underground tunnels I made. Now im working on making ledges and bridges etc for them to climb
21:16 Yes, the hamster is VERY cute, but i have never seen a hamster with such giant ears .-.
EDIT: I mean this is a good way, i think it's ears and itself is very cute
I haven’t either. I thought my robo had big ears turns out it’s so small it looks big :/

These videos are so helpful! I'm considering getting a hamster soon, so thank you for all the information and advice!
Thank you for watching!
A few suggestions for an appropriate hamster cage
At the very least a 450 Square Inch cage, but more is always better
Plenty of wheel space, at least enough to not make the hamsters back bend (if it is a Syrian hamster at least 11-12 inches will be the minimum)
At least 6 inches of bedding (hamsters burrow and they can't burrow with nothing to burrow with)
A decently sized sand bath
Hideouts
Hamsters don't need tall cages so no need to worry about a second level
Moderate room temperatures
If you have other pets who might eat your hamster, Add a lid or keep the hamster in a different room the pet cannot enter in
It's safe to say all store bought hamster cages are not nearly big enough, so consider wooden cages, bins, and whatever else is safe
Yes I don't have a hamster
I did a challenge where my room turned into a hamster cage, my hamster was like as happy as he could be in hammy heaven her was lictually burrowing like CRAZY so I slept in my spare room XD woke up to my hamster running the room like " Get out 0-0" XD
That sounds so cool! Like the full room? Can you make a TH-cam video I would be interested!
So your room is filled with hamster bedding
Omg that's awesome
I'll see if I can film it, just kinda sick at the moment, I'll film it very soon if I can
@@jomarsden5078 Okay! But is your room filled with hamster bedding lol?

i can already tell if the cage is good or not before victoria even shows it just by looking at the expression on her face lol
Lmao you are so right-
I love seeing all the unique ways people style their detolfs!!

Hi! How do you train a hamster 🐹.
also which method I the best and easiest?
I think she has another video on that.
She has a video on it
It worked for me
I’ve learned so much from you in 3 days
The idea of a robo being thrown off a flying saucer (while not good or something you want) is kinda hilarious
I strive to be able to get everything I need for a perfect enclosure before even thinking about getting a hamster.
People get mad when you say the Cage isn’t perfect like dude they asked for your advice
Then they shouldn't ask for advice if they will get mad when she says it isn't perfect although I don't think it really has to be perfect all it needs is minimum size cage , roof, toys, food
