Victoria Raechel “low-fi asmr.” Ha.
You are literally the reason my hamster's still alive 😋 love u ❤️
Omg I wuv. Your channel
Victoria Raechel love your videos
Love your channel
I’m so glad I watched this video, I was over feeding :(
* josie * me too 😅
* josie * mistakes are okay as long as u correct them
SAME T^T
Yes it’s best to put a tablespoon amount in your hamsters bowl, see how long it take for it to finish the bowl and put a table spoon once it’s empty. Once you know how long it takes your hamster to finish it’s food, you can start sprinkling the food around the cage instead of putting it in the bowl. If your hamster is like mine and he just shoves all the food in his cheeks and takes it home, so it’s hard to tell how long it takes him to finish. I usually don’t sprinkle food in there one or two days a week. I also noticed my hamster was getting a little chunky so I just cut back on some food and he seems to be good again.
Me too
I am the only one binge watching all her hamster care 😅
Arielle k, nope me too
Same here
same 😐
here to -_-
Nah me too, I got a Teddy Bear named Biscuit and I want to make sure I’m doing things correctly
I love how she included how often she feeds fruits and vegetables. I have been looking for the longest time to find a TH-camr or hamster-involved influencer that I trust to say how often I should feed my hamster fruits and veggies and this helps me a lot.
That one dislike is from someone who overfeeds their hamster lol❤️🐹😊
That would be me

Me but I didnt dislike
I love that she looks a little like a hamster, people who are into certain animals tend to have likings to them and it's the cutest
Well know we know I'm a rat 😳💀
is that a compliment lmao
I mean, we like things more similar to ourselves
@@Elisayum im a rat to :D
I’m a horse 😂 I’m tall and have long legs, long brown hair, and I love running and jumping haha. Being an equestrian galloping around and jumping seems natural 😅
Here is my new feeding schedule:
Monday - 2 tablespoons
Tuesday - nothing
Wednesday - Fresh food & herbs
Thursday - 2 tablespoons
Friday - nothing
Saturday - Fresh food and herbs
Sunday - 2 tablespoons
Monday nothing
and repeat... this is for my 6month old Syrian hamster!
Thanks 😊
should i leave their bowl empty every tuesday, wednesday and monday?
@@minyoongi2525 it's not means leaving bowl 🥣 example you give 2 table spoon on Monday you have to give your hamster food when they finish the food you gave on Monday usually hamster finish 2 table in 2 days ........ Hope it's helps you 😀
@@aarshia28 thankyousomuch!
@@minyoongi2525 welcome 😊🌈 I like to help you i have all information about them and I want to keep a hamster 🐹 but my parents don't allow me 😭 please pray that they convenienced 😔
I feel like I overfeed my hamster but he isn’t fat and his nest always has very little food stored away. He really just eats from his bowl. Its so confusing
Me too lol
Thank you sooo much! I have just realised I have been over feeding my hamster☹️ And I am going to change my ways right now.
I like to scatter feed the pieces my hamster thinks are the yummiest just to give her that extra challenge to get her favorites. Everything else I put in her bowl. I also give her one small papaya treat every other day. She adores her mazuri pellets and makes a huge mess of them, so I keep them in a separate area all together to avoid the copious amounts of crumbs that come from her eating them lol
I usually just put some food in with my hand not measure with a spoon, but my bowls are like cute small ones not ceramic and I wait 2 days before giving them any more food, but they get one treat a day and some foraging leafs 💜💜
tammy jones I just got my hamster yesterday, my mom just used her hand to put the food in my hamster’s bowl so I just feed her two table spoons every 2-3 days?
I'm such a bad hamster mom, I've been giving mine treats like everyday :/ I learned a lot from this video, thank you!
Your not a bad hamster mom you just gotta change for the better
me too eliza I used to give my hamster lots of treats but I learned in others videos of victoria that they were bad so I stop giving him so many treats months ago
And yeah like Aunika said we are not bad Hamster parents we just didnt know and thats why we need to watch victorias video and her channel has helped us a lot hasn't?
gotta go my hamster is out and about I going to pet him for 10 minutes then I will be back
“Don’t remember the mistake,remember the lesson!” I’m sure you’ve gotten better 🤗
I feed my hamster about 3 times a week and I’ll wait till he pretty much finishes his bowl but he often leaves the little pellets in sunburst and I often cave in and feed him earlier 💀💀
ZingiestBug same 🤣
OMG...Your hamster does that? Same!
ZingiestBug sameeeee
Aha samee. Some pieces are just fillers or shells so 🤷♀️
Right she's just like yeah no I'm not eating that crap 🙈😧😂
Can you do a vid:
Syrian vs dwarf hamsters xxx❤️🧡💛💚🧡🧡💛
She did that video a long time ago
been there done that 😛
Great video Victoria. I love seeing people taking such an interest in the smaller pets like hamsters. They’re just as worthy of high quality care we give dogs and cats
oh wow when i babysat my cousins hammy she told me to refill it’s bowl at breakfast and dinner time no wonder it was kinda chunky😂😂
I’m getting a hamster in a week and I have been taking notes and screenshots of your channel and I’m starting to believe that I am ready so thank you and I hope people in the future can find this channel just as helpful 💖 😊
Really glad I could help!!
My hamster is definitely a picky eater. This video helped so much, I have been feeding her all wrong for almost 4 months! Thank you Victoria!
Yes. This. I see people filling the dish up to the top every day and I cringe!
Thanks for making this video!!I was definitely overfeeding my hamster, and probably feeding him to many treas. This was very informational, and I really appreciate all of your advice! I will definitely be cutting back on my little hams food. Thanks again!!
I am LIVING for these extra Wednesday videos!!
THANK YOU I'M TRYING MY BEST!😩💕
Thank you! I was over feeding my hamster, Giblet, since I thought as long as they have food that they were able to space out their eating, but I noticed she eats it until it’s gone within a few hours and decided to look more into it!
Yay thanks Victoria! I've been wondering this for a long time haha 😄
Thank you so much for making these videos. My very first hamster just passed away from old age a few days ago. But often I would come to your videos for information. As a first time hammie owner I have made mistakes but these videos are awesome to help educate pet owners ❤
Thank you 🙏 this clarified my question, and I’m surprised I’m doing it right. 😁
I feed mine 2 tablespoons and I wait until it’s completely empty cause I don’t want my hamster to be a picky eater.
Thank you Victoria you’re a life saver! I had no idea how I should be feeding my hamster because there’s always a huge pile of food in his food chamber when I do the monthly cleaning of his cage. I’ll start to do this from now on.
Ok thank you I try to follow everything in each video you post
Awesome video! I finally know how much to feed a hamster, I always get confused by other how much to feed your hamster videos because first I am seeing feed them every day but now I know.(but of course it also depends on the hamster species) I love your videos ❤️
Thank you! It definitely can be a bit confusing!
@@VictoriaRaechel yes thank you! I’m maybe getting a hamster tgis year, me and my family had never had a pet, so im really happy im getting one.thank you
I found out a good way to make sure you don't starve your hamster, since it can be hard to tell when they've finished foraging. Keep their lab block in their food bowl and scatter feed their seed mix. They'll eat the seeds first and, once they've eaten all of that, they'll go for the pellets. Once the pellets are gone you can feed them again. Another way I feed my hamster is putting the main food in the food dish, but leaving the forage mix around the cage. Once again, refill once the bowl has been emptied. They're both very reliable ways of making sure your ham gets all the nutrients they need while still providing them enrichment :)
Yesssss! Extra vids! Love you Tori 💕
Thank you!💕
Omg, this video was so helpful...TYSM ❤️ 🐹
I’ve been feeding Cinnamon too much 😣 thank you for telling me the truth. I was always worried she’d go hungry.
This video is very helpful I thought you just fed them every day
Thank you! I was giving my hamster too much this was really helpful and all your videos are helpful to me to learn what is best for my hamster. Thank you again.
I'm getting my 1st hamster soon and I've learned SO much from you! THANK YOU
Can you make a video where you show us your hamsters feeding routine? I would love to watch it! 💛💛💛💛💛💛
My hamster LOVES to eat, I fed him today some carrots and he took them back into his little hut and ate them all but hid some in a burrow he created.😭
i recently just found your channel because i just got a hamster ! thank you sm for all your info ❤️😌 you've answered a lot of my questions!
thankyou so much for this video i am constantly so worried if i am over or under feeding my hamster so thankyou x
wait if I feed my hamster harry hamster food will he turn into harry potter?
*harry potter them starts playing*
* Don Don Don Don Don Don Don Donn Do Don Don Don Don Don*
xD
Mine has been on it for a few months and now he has a scar on his forehead
That makes no sense.
@@Basementcheese its called a joke.
My hamster is very picky with grains but she is a eating machine with veggies and fruits, she gets them everyday from the begging. She loves basil, parsley, carrot, banana, apples, raddish, cherries, almost everything i give her. Also egg and all kind of cheese (of course limited, not too much, not everyday). Very beutiful long haired fluffy ball :) cheers for all hamster lovers
I'm glad you made this as for a while I was unsure and this made helped me out, keep up the good work :)
Thank you!
i love your videos victoria it helps me communicate with my hamsters
I always fed my hamsters every day because I never knew this. But all of my hamsters have loved to take their food out of their bowl and hide it, then eat it over time. So is it still not good to feed them every day, if they arent eating it all in one day?
I recommend not to feed them every day. Initially, I was so worried that they would be hungry during the night so I checked on them in the wee hours. Then, I realised it is not good to overfeed them. As they age, they will slow down in their consumption.
idek if i can name 17 different vegetables tbh
your eyeliner looks so good in this
lemme try 😂
romaine lettuce, carrots, peas, bell pepper, kale, celery, spinach, cucumber.... lol I'm blanking on the rest 😅 & thank you!! 💕
Lettuce, carrots, zucchini, cucumber, cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus (idk), kale, cabbage, celery, spinach, onions, squash, parsley ibell pepper, bok Choi, cilantro
Iceberg lettuce, Squash, Kale, Parsley, Turnips, Beets, Swiss Chard, Collard Greens, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Onion, Cucumber.... that’s all I got
@nevaeh peanut you forget peanuts
@@shane9245 onion is not good for hamster the smell
I want to thank you so much. Your knowledge has helped me give my hamsters a more happy life. I decided to split up my Syrian hamsters. I now have them in there own 20 gallon tank and I spent my own hard worked money on it. they are both very happy now and are SUPER friendly. I also have them those Baby puff things and they LOVE them.
Thank you so much for this video!
It was so helpful! :)
At first my dad told me to put *ONE CUP OF FEED* in my hamsters bowl so i made him watch this video😂
Thank you so much I was over feeding my hamster and I watched this and changed to your schedule. It worked so good and he loves scavenging for the seeds and nuts. Love your channel. 🐹🐹🐹🐹
I want to give this video multiple thumbs up.
You make sense. This is logical.
Also, the pet store couldn’t answer this. That was frustrating.
Hey Victoria! Thanks so much for the video! I’ve actually been thinking of getting a hamster for quite a while and I’ve been watching you’re (and others’) videos practically daily to research before I got one.
I now have a really cute white and black speckled hamster I named Pepper! I have him in a 40 gallon breeder tank but I’m upgrading to a detolf really soon. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing with us your passion for animals and really inspiring me to care for a small animal and make him happy. He’s really brightened up my life and I’m glad I’m able to care for him in the best way possible 😄🐹
I'm really happy my channel and videos could help! Stay tuned I'll be uploading a video about the detolf sometime next week!
My hamster eats the big pellets or whatever they are called. They are 18% protein. She leaves the seed mix in her bowl for awhile. My dwarf hamster does the same.
Alycia Miller Just pick the pellets out of the food. Is it so hard?
@@tuana1309 she said they eat the PELLETS they do not eat the seed mix
Trin animations Yeah that’s why she should pick out the pellets. So the hamster can eat the seeds.
@Crystals Episode OH XD
My hamsters eat sunflower seeds most of the time.
This is how many time I watch her
👇🏻
love how simple and straight this video is, great job
Thank you!
Thank you so much Ms.Raechel! I was really worried my Dwarf-Robo would not finish his food in a day. Now I know! Thank you again! :D
Hai Victoria! I have a question, is it ok that I give my hybrid dwarf gerberpuffs? Bc im not sure if this is correct but, i heard that dwarfs cant eat things with additive sugars in it. Either way i wanted to check with you to be sure 👍😁 (i also tried searching it up but i didnt get anything)
This is late, but they’re so low sugar that I wouldn’t worry!
@@insomniacslive aha tyty!! so is it ok if i give it once a week? can i more or should i do it even less?
@@idarinecake1735 you can give 1 a day, or a few a few times a week. They’re made of basically nothing as the serving size is much larger for a baby!
@@insomniacslive tysm!
Her hamster: eats slow
mE: eatS slOweR thAn A tuRtlE
Lmao this is true I take more than one hour to eat lmaoo like if u can relate ☺️✌️😅
Thanks for the info!!
Thank you so much for these free hamster care lessons! 🐹
Thank you for watching them!
One of my biggest pet peeves is when ppl who don’t know much about hamsters fill their food bowl to the top
But my hamster eats really fast and I check his hide-out everyday
I’m really loving how your uploading so much.All Of your videos are fantastic...keep up the great work🐹💙
Thanks so much!
Yes i needed this thank you!!
hope it could help!
How often should I feed my hamster their vegetables?
Itz_Rachel every other day
i've been feeding my hamster about one-two tablespoons of seeds/pellets every single day and he eats it at night, i also give him strawberry, apple, cucumber, other stuff, sometimes broccoli, all for snacks. he's a long-haired syrian hamster, he's massive.
You always give me inspiration and ideas to better my care for my hamster. Thank you so much!
I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you!
Thank you, this helped solve some questions I've had. Been watching a lot of your videos, so much ended up subscribing. :)
Glad I could help!
Notification squad❤️

I needed this video 💕 thank you!
I hope it helped! ❤️
Luna gets a yogurt drop as her Saturday Night Treat and no worries of her being a picky eater, she will eat just about anything. The only thing she is not keen on is celery!
Luna The Hamster I subbed to u?
I meant !
This video was so helpful🤩 your hamsters are adorable!
Thank you!! 😊
I love your videos! Your amazing,Tori!
Thank you!
I was over feeding my hamster-thanks for posting this vid it helped a lot
Hi Victoria I am a huge fan!!! And you have helped me give my hamster a better life
I love your channel so much! This is a great video idea and I love all of your animals!
Buddy is in my pocket, and earlier I gave him a Gerber puff but it seemed like his whole world froze just so he could eat that puff lol. ❤️🐹
Thank you! Aw that sounds so adorable! I don't blame him, gerber puffs are the best
Thanks for making this video! It really helps 😊
Thank you for watching!
thank u! i realized ive been promoting my hamster to being a picky eater and this helped so much! dont know what id do without ur videos
It was just about a day ago I was wishing you had a video on this topic ! 😄
Thank youu
haha you're welcome!! 💖
Thank you so much! I got 2 female Russian Dwarfs 3 days ago and was over feeding them but I have learnt a lot! Thank you so much!
i love your videos so much they always give me happy vibes & i hope to be like you when im older. you always have the best helpful & fun videos too :) you deserve wayy more subscribers, you deserve the world lol. love ya
Aw thank you! That means a lot to me! 💕
@@VictoriaRaechel i'm glad :) you're welcome!
thank you so much for this!! i was giving my hamster a handful of food everyday... 😐 but now she gets 1 1/2 tablespoons every 2 days! 🥰
these vids help so much!!!
I decided to run with your video on what to feed, and I worked out a well-balanced ration using Wild Harvest advanced nutrition mix and dried mealworms.
I’m thinking I’ll want to feed my robo dwarf hamster 1tbsp in a dish and 1tbsp scattered as forage every 3 days and see how that goes.. Fruits and veggies will also be a must! and fairly easy to keep up, considering how much my kids love to eat blackberries and carrots and romaine salads 😂
It's not too common to see food related topics (understandably so as it's not a simple subject); but I think this video will seriously help out so many people and I'm surprised there aren't really that many other videos about the frequency of feeding! There's a great one, now, though ❤ Good work keepin up great content!
Thank you! I hope it does, I haven't seen many videos explaining it! Probably because most of us who already have been owning hamster's think it's common knowledge, but for someone who's completely new to hamster's may not know!
Oh my gosh. Thank you so much for this vid. I’m pretty late but I used to give my hamster one of those hamster donut things, EVERY DAY. I also filled the food bowl to THE BRIM. Thank you again.
This was a great video and very informative. Thank you 😁.
Thank you!
Great video Tori it was very helpful thank you
Thank you Grace! 💕
Oooh I was wondering if the hamster food I bought for my robo was unsuitable because they would always eat the cool seed and worms, but left out the more boring bites. I am glad I saw your advice before creating a tiny food-picky fur ball! 😂 Thank you for your brilliant videos once more!
This is great - I’m a new hamster owner.
I’ve been researching for months prior - but I’m still learning. :)
omg this helped so much when i was young i really wanted a hamster so i remember when my parents got me one and i fed it wayyyy to much and it was so BIG and died in like 6 months, now im way older and im deciding to get a new hamster so this is really helpful😀
Thanks for the advice💕 I scatter feed my hamster every other day and I recently switched over to a water bowl and he loves it😊
I'm glad it's been working for your hamster! 😀
Thank you so much. Very helpful.
UGHHH I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SOOOO MUCH
THANK YOU!!! ❤️😭
Excellent information as always. Cute hamsters too!!
Thank you!
oh my thx i was soooo overfeeding tiramisu in fact b4 i started watching ur videos i was doing like lowkey EVERYTHING wrong but now ik how its done and im gonna get her a new 40 gallon tank, mealworms and baby food.
