Back in April we did a reviewing PetSmarts hamster care guide: th-cam.com/video/agrXKlR1RS8/w-d-xo.html so this year we’re reviewing Pets At home’s hamster care guide! ❤️🥰
Is it ok to give your hamster a second level
I think i got one of Those
Victoria Raechel hey!
I got my hamster from pets at home I've had them all my life and they have always lived over two! But I think that's just to my amazing pet care 😅 great video Victoria.
Hi I am getting a bin care 450in 30x15 is that ok
“You should avoid kissing you hamster” Victoria being in shook: I- IM ALWAYS GONNA KISS MY CHILDREN
Krisztina Holen I mean..if you don’t kiss you hammy you’re not a real owner 😉
Mandarorath
salmonella is in eggs ?
Annie Ives PROOF
Mandarorath how would u get salmonella from kissing a hamster?
Mandarorath well your not eating the poop r u cuz that’s concerning
Ah yes. My favorite activity when I’m bored is scaling the walls of my house.
Lol
Me to lol
lychee luv aw yes me to it’s a great “ past time” for me
Same🤣
😂 lol
i love how peta at home in their leaflets promote “as big as possible” caged but in my local pets at home there is 1 suitable cage
Yeah, I've just gotten a new hamster from Pets at Home where I bought my cage and everything. Glad I found
this channel, and I've ordered him a new cage he'll hopefully be able to move in soon.
I spent loads of money on a “large cage” and it didn’t even meet the bare minimum
Ye the rabbit cages lol
The only suitable cage I managed to find frim PAH was online. The biggest cage I could find in-store was only 441sq inches, and labelled as "extra large" 🙃.
@@m3e7 Same I got my hamster a cage but it’s only 200 sq inches so I made a bin cage and I just need to put more bedding in (7-8 inches) and buy a new wheel
I've been in the "taming" stage for almost half a year now.
Emza 89 ~ Some hamsters can really take a while to tame. Some are easy, some are hard. Just remember to let him/her come to you. They might never be fully tamed, but it’s ok because so,e hamsters just like being “wild” instead.
Which spiecies of hamster do you have and what gender, do your hamster bite?
I wouldn’t say that’s because of where it comes from, more so its personality.
sometimes my hamster likes me and sometimes he doesn’t but atleast he never bites me
Me too😅
It’s great that kids pick these up when getting hamsters, get all the wrong supplies, then give their hamster a horrible life. Its really problematic when you don’t even know how to care for the animal your selling
In my pets a home store, the employees give better care advice if you go in and ask. When purchasing an animal, they ask you if you have all the right things, cage, food, toys, ect. The employees are well educated and are passionate about animals 😊
I am 12 and have everything Suitable for my Syrian hamster. I learned it from the best. Tori and Erin’sanimals
@Hana McMullen
That’s awesome! Good job taking care of your pets! 👏
@I love rats
That’s really cool, the pet store employees where I live don’t care at all, so it’s nice to hear the ones at pets at home do. 🤗
I am 10 and I have everything suitable for my dwarf hamster I always wanted a hamster and my dad got me one but he had one before so he new what he needed so he helped me get him a good cage for him he got me toys a wheel food bedding and more things my hamster is so happy and that’s thx to him and Victoria
Yesterday when I went to get a hamster from pets at home, they said i wasnt allowed because apparently a dwarf will bite through a plastic storage bin cage. So we bought one of their cages which where ridiculously small (they had a "starter" cage and a "living" cage) and we returned it today at a different pets at home. There is no way it can bite through our cage.
peppy the russian dwarf Only gerbils can chew through plastic cages. Sad that those workers were getting confused with their species.
They handed both the baby hamsters we bought from there to us in a green ventilated cardboard box. This then went inside a Quality Street chocolate tub, and then straight home in a taxi. Both were Syrians mind, not sure about a dwarf. Edited to add, both at different times!
~ I’m not even sure of they should be allowed to “not allow you” to get a hamster, that’s kind of rude. Weird, I mean sure they chew but... not that much!
@@toomuchtia actually they can, they ask you a series of question on general care and then go on that basis :)
They ripped you off
I live in the UK and the face you made when you read out that climbing the bars is a favourite pastime was exactly the same face I made.
Same lol
Same
What does you living in the uk have to do with anything
I just want to say
*Hamster is not a disposable pet, they are living things too*
"nAh, they'RE aNimAls sO theY doN't neEd resPecT"
@Animal Owner There is
@Animal Owner It not animals that make them disposable. It human. Do you know what i meant by disposable? it metaphoric. Because people think if hamster die, you can just change as if u are changing diapers. That what i meant disposable pet
Victoria we love you so much, you look so beautiful with a hair bun
Thank you 😁
@@VictoriaRaechel hi
“If you wanna kiss your hamster, kiss your hamster” - Victoria 2020
I really want to but my dad says id get ringworms on my lips since they have salmonella :((
@@Melody-ob3fx If you have/ buy a sand bath then hopefully they wash the poop off their fur, then you can :D
ILL SHAL FOREVER KISS MY HAMSTER 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best not do it you have some pretty nasty bacteria in your mouth sow dont do this
“Now all I can think about is child trying to put a hamster in their mouth.” 😂 yes, there is nothing wrong with kissing your hamster :)
Now im only thinking
4 year old:gets hamster
(A hour later)
4 year old:eats hamster
alivia hoffman and then R.I.P
Can’t hamsters transmit diseases when you touch it? So if you kiss it you would have to wash your mouth with soap and water?
@@cappycafe no.....
@@aliviahoffman4723 4 year old:"its a little hairy"
Yass!! when I’m bored in my house due to Covid-19 I like to climb my walls 😌

How are you not dead that's really unhealthy.
I am so happy you posted I was so bored at home✨
Me too:)
Same

~ Yes, so true! 🦠❤️💪
Your profile picture is adorable ❤️
can we just talk about how beautiful tori looks, also when I'm older I do kinda wanna work in pets at home and hopefully make the care better there, maybe rodent mills could stop and pets at home and other pet shops could maybe get their animals from ethical breeders or shelters instead of mills
~ She is very pretty, and has the most gorgeous hair!
Also...
Working at a pet store and making care better is a great idea!
Same! I want to work at Petco and give people tips since I know for a fact people try to get pets their knowing nothing about them, if they did their research, they wouldn’t be there getting the rodent.
Alice Zhang yeah, whenever you buy one rodent then a new litter is made. The cycle keeps going and there’s only one way to stop it.
Aw thank you!
@@youdroppedsomething4334 finally someone agrees! the best way to prevent this is to just not support pet stores
Hope you’re staying safe from the coronavirus! Thank you for spreading good information about hamster and rabbit care!
Yes thank you!
Sadie just chillin there in the back. lol
as always 😹
Living in britain and being an occasional customer of pets at home - i can definitely say that the reason they don’t put the extra details in these pamphlets/leaflets e.g. minimum cage sizes and sizes of wheels - is because they want to sell their products regardless and they do stock certain brands which arnt considered suitable.
Its super frustrating but its how these big companies work 😫
If something doesnt suit them aka their stock in this instance,
They wont suggest otherwise which could potentially lower their sales
doctor: “you have 14 minutes and 2 seconds left to live”
me:
Aw❤️
Of course it’s this exact specific joke
predictable, predictable, predictable!!!
Can you not.. with this profile picture 😬
TH-cam Premium and AdBlocker: “AM I A JOKE TO YOU”
I'm guilty of kissing my hamster... he's my baby..... I love him with all my heart!!!!!
Same I kiss my hamster way to much but I love him
i really wish i took better care of my hamsters when i first got them, i was uneducated, critter trail cage and bat diet :(, but luckily i found your channel a week into having them and now they have proper wheels, 600 square inches each (in their own cage) and loads of bedding! i wanna thank you for what you do!
Wow that’s so great! We all have to start somewhere, my past dwarf hamster lived in a tiny cage but at least I can say I’ve improved a lot!
Square inches? Or those hamsters have massive enclosures
Same! Mine used to have a tiny bit of bedding and tiny cage, now they have loads of bedding and a huge cage!
Funny part is: I read the care guide of PaH, and the person selling me the hamster said everything the exact opposite of it anyway like "sawdust is fine" "buy a plastic cage, they love it" and "hamsters dont need room, they are really boring/ or side pets, that like solitude away from humans" "they can be kept in groups even Syrians until they're like, 1 yr old" I left feeling so confused, and only really learnt what to do with my hammy through these types of videos, so thank you from the UK! x
Oh gosh 😅 This is one of the reasons I definitely don't recommend taking advice from petstore employee's without doing your research first!
Kiss all the hamsters!
Girl, I kiss my African land snails! So kissing my hamster is like whatever. 😂😂😂😂
I love your channel it's one of the only reasons my hamster lives a happy heathy life. 🐹
thank you for watching and supporting! 💕
Most relatable comment ever
Whwh Nehe agreed! If it wasn’t for tori my dear Syrian would be living in a small ovo habitrail with sawdust! I’m glad to say she lives a comfortable life in a Detolf with aspen instead!
When i was in pets at home last week one of the employees my told me syrians shouldn't have sand baths and that it's dangerous for them... That was when I realised they don't know anything about hamsters at all
Me with 5 pets literally at home: Nothing is harder than caring for more than 2 pets.
Pets at home: Nothing is harder than making pamphlets for animals.
@Pristine Artifact hello! I now have 4 guinea pigs only, I had 2 hammies, my betta fish, and my original two guinea pigs, now I still have those original two guinea pigs, and two new guinea pigs, still love little hammies tho!
i do like pets at home unfortuately they do stock small cages,i have noticed their own brand of cages do come in a fairly reasonable size but not super big.they do have on display the hamster heaven cage which is a good size cage and this is the cage i have for my dwarf hamster.they have recently started to sell more natural treats and herbs and grasses,i do not work for pets at home only shop there.
Yeah I agree but they do sell the Savic hamster heaven and a Savic plaza cage, I also do like there natural products as they have lots of rose wood herbs and things like that!
I have a hamster heaven, and my hammy loves it!!
@@terriparis4859 thats great as they are amazing sturdy cages .
I love how Sadie is just in the back the whole time 😅
i luv this vid! thx for keeping everyone aware of proper hammy care! luv u🐹
ayyy i’ve been waiting for this for so long. I live in the uk and i’ve been waiting for you to see what to think k of it.
Thank you for your videos!!! Always love Saturday’s ! Hope Bumble is doing okay
Thank you for watching!
I just moved my 2.5 year old hamster into a 106 quart bin cage. She's been exploring and is the happiest hamster ever.
Cool,I know it’s dead,but a 106 qt bin its only for dwarfs hamsters since it’s too small for a Syrian
@@HYDROCARBON_XD i-
Damn
Yay! It means a lot to see you reviewing something from the UK :) Thanks 😊💖
Thanks so much for all your help! I’ve been begging my mom for a hamster and making her watch your videos and now she might let me get one! I love your videos so much thank you! ❤️❤️🐹🐹
early victoria i love you and you are such an isnpiration for me:-) I just got a hamster recently and i love watching your videos for ideas I LOVE YOU
Aw thank you!
When I was thinking about getting a hamster I was at the pet store and I saw a pamphlet for hamsters (not this store) and grabbed it. Thank goodness I forgot it in my friend's car because it was filled with improper care lol
I had this exact leaflet when we got Bubbles, with that and your videos I went from knowing nothing to where I am now. Brought back so many memories 😂
Omg I love your vids so much. Your videos are very informative and helpful. You and your animals always make my day! Thank you 🙏🥰😊
Thank you for watching!
I just got my syrian hamster today!!! His name is Gimli, it is my first hamster in almost 10 years and I've only had 2 dwarf hamsters before.. He was so cute burrowing himself into safety/to go back to sleep on the way home I cried hahaha!! :') I am so excited, I've watched so many of your video's in preparation allready ^^
Did you get them from pets at home
@@elizacowie2512 No I didn't. I live in the Netherlands, so we have different petstores but I researched well beforehand. So I found a woman on Facebook near where I live, who breads hamsters in her home (not a large scale mill but very much as an exploded hobby it seemed). She takes great care of her hamsters and has requirements for buyers. I had to send photos of my enclosure for example. And I can always contact her with questions 😊 It would buy my next one from her as well I think. Gimli is now almost a year old, happy, healthy and still going strong. He makes me so happy, hope he will stay around for another good while 🥰
I think this is so funny so I needed to share it. My hamster stuffs her mouth with bedding, goes under her tunnel system and puts it somewhere 😂
She's moving her bed, have you been disturbing it?
@@vintasaru She doesn't move her bed, she takes bedding and puts it where she sleeps
@@saturnstar2677 mine does the same as he prefers one type of bedding the the other lol
I am so glad that your channel is here for me because I would be doing so many wrong things so thanks to you I can give my hamster the life she deserves 🐹👍🏻🥰
Happy I could help!
Your Videos are what I look forward to all week thank you for your videos they make my day every time! ❤️🐹❤️ I will always love your videos hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!!! ❤️🐹❤️
I just want to say that I love your videos, they've helped me out so much and I'm happy to say that I possibly could be adopting a hamster in the near future!
Thank you! That's awesome!
I got a Kaytee ad during this 🤣
Justin Bell same
Haha same
I love how people just market stuff in stores like items that are not safe or good for your hamster, and just make it so expensive including making it more expensive than what you would buy to actually take good care of your hamster. Then they try to make it look cute so people will want to buy it so the company can get money.
This needs to stop. They shouldn’t involve money into taking care of an animal. But that’s the world these days.
I hope the pet stores will eventually change this.
But thank you for being there to tell people that whatever they’ve been told in stores is wrong, and then giving the RIGHT information.
Thank you Victoria😸
I’m glad you made this video! I have been excited for this video!😃
Thank you for watching!
I love these it’s so funny to see how dumb they are 😂🤣😂🙃 also I hope bumble is doing ok she was loved so much 💗💗
Thank you! 💖
My hammy lived till 5 his nam was chubster he was my first pet I got him when I was 5 years old he recently died
Omg I love you so much!! you inspire me so much and I agree with everything you do and say thank you so much for these videos I don’t know what I would do without them!!!
Thanky ou for watching them! ❤️
you are the best thank you for making such great vids, i love to tell my friends who are getting a hammy about your channel you rock!!!!!!!!
Thank you Maddie!!
Imagine eating only one food for the rest of your life and you don’t even get to pick it meanwhile, living in a cage as small as you!
Dogs: ...
I love your name and profile picture 😂
Thank you Jessica West!
HII tori! I really like how you review different brands and stuff because it helps a lot of people realize what they're buying and they can switch to better care. also i hope we still have loads of time with bumble! also sorry if u s3e this twice Idk why it does that.
Thank you!
It's good that i watched all of Victoria's videos before getting my hamster! Thank you for all the tips you gave me ,Victoria.
Glad my channel could help!
Thank you Victoria for teaching me about hamsters its very helpful
The other day when I went to go get my hamster I couldn’t it’s so sad they don’t have any more live pets at where I go because of this virus like if it’s the same thing for you
Now they do!
I feed my hamster fruit and vegetables everyday such as apple, corn, Brussels Sprouts, lettuce and occasionally cilantro as well as his seed mix.
Thank you so much for your time and I really enjoy watching your videos and watched how much you have grown in knowledge over the years. Keep up the Great work and please by all means stay safe through this virus season we are having this year. Lots of love and appreciation. An Old Grandmom to two new Robos
Thank you very much!
I just wanna say I learned most of my information about hamsters from you and I’ve had my hamster for a year now and she is still happy and healthy!
I'm happy my channel has been able to help!
“Avoid kissing your pet”
Oh boi pets at home would be angry at me lol
Same they would hate me
I kiss all my pets every morning every night.... Bc I luv dem
Don't kiss ur pets me kisses them about 100 times a day 😂 😂
I live in UK and the faces u made when reading are the exact same as I did, especially the reaction to avoid kissing your hamster🤣❤️
Yeah new vid!!! I hope your having a amazing day Victoria!!! Stay safe!!
Thank you Bella!
Heeyyy❣️so I have a question
My hamster is having hiccups very often and I dont know why
Should I be worried?
laura E could be sick
maybe your hamster has hiccups because he eats his food too fast!?
So does mine I looked it up and it really scared me that he had trouble breathing and I took him to the vets.... He was fine tho.... And I wasted my money but better safe than sorry
I’m always kissing my boys and my girl 😂
I love how you discus pets at home things for your Uk fans it really helps us with our pets and I wanna say thank you for the helpful videos had my first ever pet a Syrian called mango for just over a month now and she’s a well loved family member❤️
thank you! I'm happy to try and help others in other countries!
Great video as always! have to say I love this eyeshadow on you
Thank you!! I'm really sorry for your recent loss :(
I'm in a hamster group here in Sweden on fb. They scream almost straight out with a dwarf hamster alone. MUST be two otherwise you are horrible and breaking the law.
Also applies to vegetables with dwarf hamsters, NEVER sweet vegetables. Absolutely never, not even a little now and then.
Of course, I understand why they say it but a little too much.
That's why I listen more to you or other youtubers with the same experience. Everything isn't perfect.
What kind of seed mix is the “high quality seed mix”? I would to get a good mix for my hamsters.
i would look at this list! hamsterhideout.com/forum/topic/132155-hamster-nutrition-iv-commercial-hamster-food-list/
@@VictoriaRaechel ooh mines on the list
@@VictoriaRaechel Thanks! I bought 2 different ones, and usually give a mix of both, one is on the good list, the other on the not recommended, they appear to be very similar mixes though! I do also supplement the food with additional nuts/seeds as treats, as the mixes usually contain very little of it.
hey victoria! i have learned a lot of knowledge from you and without you i wouldnt've known sawdust was bad, the 450 square inch minimum and lots of other things! my friend also recently got a hamster and once i told them what i learned from you they realised their critter trail cage was too small! i appreciate what you're doing and i encourage you to continue spreading this great knowledge! you're amazing and keep up the great work!
(would also like to add i originally thought bedding was the stuff hamsters sleep in lmfao)
So happy I could help! And it's great you could then help your friend with their care!
Hi Victoria! I hope that this quarantine is going well for you :)) love you videos !
*Sadie wanted in on the video.* c:
I was first to watch , love your videos Victoria x
Cap
Thank you!
I love your channel! you are so reliable and you have inspired me so much. at first I only had a dog but you inspired me to get a bunny and a hamster. Thank you!
Surprisingly my dwarf came pretty friendly and loving 😂 she’s the sweetest little thing, since day one.
My hamster passed away on Thursday this week
☹️ edit I loved her so much but she only lived 5.5 months I’m confused 🤷♀️ I loved her And the floor space was over the bare minimum
🥺
juliet glazer mine live 8 months. God bless you tho 💓
juliet glazer it might have been your bedding but f you had pine and cedar it can cause respiratory problems and also if you had chinchilla dust instead is sand then that will also cause the same thing and if you have a mesh wheel and a white bottom because that can cause bumble foot Victoria also has a separate video discussing illnesses
More than likely it was an internal health issue due to poor breeding.
I'm sorry for your loss! Unfortunately some hamsters have compromised genetics due to inbreeding or other poor breeding practices which can cause things internally to be wrong, things you wouldn't physically be able to notice. This is why not supporting petstores is important.
Pebbles the hamster I did research and I had a different hamster a year before
Care guide: Climbing the cage bars is a favorite pastime
Me: *face palm* 😭😭😭
You are the only TH-camr that I watch for my hamster actually me and my dad watch you to see if what we need for our hamsters
Aw well thank you both for watching! 😁
yesss was waiting for this!
Omg I don’t just kiss my pets and kiss my family’s pets my friends pets I would even kiss a snake I love all animals but my fave is my hamster
yes 😂
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! HELP, VICTORIA! I just measured my male dwarf hamster's bin cage while watching one of your videos after having it for a couple of months. It was sold as having 475 sq. inches. IT HAD ONLY 280! It was a LOT of work to make, so my parents said we can't make another one. I'm 12, and I don't have the money for an additional critter trail or cage add-on. I don't know what to do! HELP!
EE! Is it fine now? If not if you have extra bins (don’t have to be that big but perhaps pretty big) maybe add it on!
I'm so happy about this video! I live on uk, and always found it difficult to find videos like this :D
Well thank you for watching!
Love your videos I have a hamster and you’ve helped me take care of them thank you 😊
Excuse you pets a home, I’m going to kiss my hamster all I want thank you very much.
Thx for your amazing video’s!!❤️🐹🐭
Thank you for watching!
I hope you’re coping okay with this virus that’s going round. Stay safe. Looking forward to your next upload! 💜
Thank you!
OMG I’m early and love I always watch u
I’m rewatching all your old videos and you helped me with my hamster care I have 1 level for the food and drink but that’s the only time my hamster actually uses it
This was really helpful to me as I live in the UK and shop at pets at home too! Thanks x
Glad it could help!
Thank you Victoria you have helped me through my hamster journey now I have two loving happy hamsters
That's great to hear!
After extensive research, I'm going to adopt a hamster tomorrow! Thank you for all your videos, they helped me plan and prepare greatly!
That's so exciting! Congrats!
I needed this video!
I love watching the furry friend that is hanging around you during the video. She is very pretty. I love cats. They are soft and I love it when they purr. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who loves hamsters and cats.
Thank you!!

Was waiting for this since your insta story 😊
