  • Today we're talking about about the differences between Syrian and dwarf hamsters! This is a question I'm often asked about- and while they require the same enrichment and have the same needs there are some slight differences in their care! We'll go over their habitat preferences, physical differences like their feet and scent glands and the differences in their diets! By learning these small differences this can help you better care for your hamster!

    Im 33 and just got my first hamster recently (I've had gerbils, rats, and mice in the past but not hamsters). My teenage daughter's friend was rehoming hers after 2 months of having him.
    I was on the fence (I had zero plans of adding a pet) until I saw him...
    He was in a 10 gallon tank without a lid, with one hide, maybe an inch of bedding, no chews, no food debris in the soiled bedding, a 4 inch wheel (he's a golden Syrian)... He was never given a name either 🫤
    I immediately said yes and got his enclosure and supplies ready in a day and picked him up.
    He's now my little guy; I named him Rupert. (Like from Family Guy lol)
    He loves to be talked to, he is so curious, and likes to come out around 10-11. He's incredibly interactive and loves to burrow in his now nice deep bedding with hidden hides and tunnels, and run on his new big wheel ☺️ he also has enjoyed a small sample of fresh basil, thyme, almonds, cucumber, hard boil egg, and freeze dried pear.
    I'm slightly nocturnal thanks to health issues so him and I will have plenty of time together 😂
    I think he's around 4 months old so I'm hoping hes around for a while.
    I am also picking up a DJ Dwarf in a few days. I have named him after Pascal from Rapunzel.
    (Sidekick names from cartoons is evidently my theme here 😂)
    I'm a happy hammy mom ❤
    They are definitely an underrated little buddy to have...

    I had Syrians my whole life; but everything changed when I rescued my first Robo. The complete oposite of a Syrian personality wise. Fell in love with them and after he passed I rescued another.
    I am currently owned by 1 Syrian and 1 Robo, they couldn't be any more different from eachother. My Syrian girl Hazel is like a puppy; begging to come out and eat food with me. But my Robo is very much "leave me alone" and appart from maybe allowing me to pet him in his enclosure while he eats, he would much rather be zooming around and wheeling. I absolutely love watching Robos, they are so funny and interesting but so freaking cute too. I don't mind having a mostly hands off Robo because I feel like spending the time to gain their trust is really rewarding.

      i also prefer dwarf hammies, i love them all but my hybrid dwarf is the tamest hamster i have ever owned like ive owned multiple syrians and none of them really like being held/interacted with. but my hybrid hammy will run up to me and sit in my hand (or on my foot when she's in her playpen) all day 😂 i just find it funny because i remember when i got her i was told i wouldnt be able to interact with her or hold her because she wouldnt like being held and she would be too fast and i was told to get a syrian because it would be calmer and would love all the attention yet my syrian hamsters try and leap out of my hand whenever they choose to come out 🤣

    I own a robo hamster! My first ever hamster. He LOVES to burrow. It's his favorite thing. Possibly more than his sandbags or wheel. He's so fun! Especially when he gets zoomies and runs laps around the bincage (stopping briefly for a wheel interlude). Hamsters are fascinating.

He now flattens his body and closes his eyes peacefully when being pet, and enjoys getting his daily Puff snack by hand.

    Hi 👋🏻 I’m brand new here! Just brought home my first ever hamster a few days ago, a male Syrian. It happened very unexpectedly! I work at a pet store and someone brought in their hamster to give up for adoption (doesn’t happen very often thankfully). I hated to think where he might end up and he was very friendly with me right away, so I brought him home in his tiny 10 gallon setup. I immediately hit the books (the internet and TH-cam lol) to learn everything I could about hamster care. I quickly came across your channel and it’s been a godsend! I went from knowing absolutely nothing to now having a very full list of requirements for my new furry friend. Can’t wait to get a giant enclosure for him! I also can share my knowledge with any customers looking to get a hamster. 😊 thank you for sharing what you know and making the world a safer place for hamsters!

    I think it would be good if you also explained the differences between male and female hamsters, as they seem to generally have different behaviors or training difficulties. Thank you!

    My first hamster was a roborovski that I named Snickerdoodle. He was such a sweetheart and lived for two year before passing away recently. Now my new hamster is a syrian hamster that I named Jethro. He lives in a huge enclosure and has a ton of hideouts. Just recently, he's started to let me pet him 🥰 Hopefully I'll be able to hold him one day but I know it's gunna take time

    Hi Victoria, I don't know if you will see this, but I need your help. So I just got a hamster and bought EVERYTHING for him, and my mom said in order to have the hamster I need to keep my room clean (I'm 13 by the way.) , which I do but she says it looks horrible. Also, I have a brother who is two years older than me, and knows nothing about hamsters but loves mine. That's okay, if he knows how to pick him up and be gentle with him, but he is SO ROUGH with him. Today I saw him up so I took the lid off my enclosure to say hi. My brother saw me open the lid and came in there while he was in his sand bath and snatched him out of his sand bath! Since he wasn't holding him right, he jumped out of his hands and almost fell to the ground but he caught him (it's still not okay though). So I was already mad, so I yelled at him, and my mom says I don't even deserve a hamster! Oh, I'm not done yet, when I told him to put him back he tossed him back into the enclosure! I'm a senstive person when It comes to my animals, like I'll cry when my fish die (don't worry I got a ten gallon tank for my betta fish), so I was holding back tears at this point, and all my brother said was "He's fine! It's a soft landing!" But I know that was probably so stressful for him. PLEASE HELP PLEASE :(

    I have a syrian. When i picked him up from the animal shelter i saw a round rough patch and was worried he had a fungal infection. I was with a volunteer who didn't know anything about hamsters and her eyes got wide and she panicked and was like omg come wash your hands. Do you want a different hamster? . i was like no i want him I'm not sure that's what it is. Is someone else here? After she left the room i saw the same thing on the other side and was like ok that's too symmetrical for it to be random so i googled it. I felt so silly.

    In the past, I had a male Syrian hamster, Speedy. After he passed, I had a female Syrian hamster that I named Dalia. She was really sweet. My past dwarf hamsters were Chipper, Ruby, and Petunia. Now, I have 4 dwarf boys: Moe, Larry, Curly, and Shemp. I adopted the 4 boys from the shelter. Two sets of brothers. I was told that they were bonded and could co-exist in the same habitat. So I placed them in one large enclosure, and I kept my eye on them. Initially, it was adorable seeing all 4 together. They looked like toddlers in a playground. However, I ended up separating them as I noticed fights, nothing major, but it was worrisome enough to separate them. So now, each have their own enclosures. I also knew that separating them would be a possibility, so I was prepared.

    Do you have a vid somewhere of an appropriate balanced diet for a Syrian? I watched the 'safe foods' vid so I have a list, but I'm wondering about ratios. Seeds: fresh veg: fruit? In the 'daily hamster care' vid, it looks like about 1T grains and a small bowl of greens /day. Do you feed any commercial kibble at all? Do you make your own grain /seed mix?

    • @VictoriaRaechel
      @VictoriaRaechel  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I don't think there is really a ratio of how much you should give each! most people supplement veggies along side seed mix anywhere from daily to 2-3 times a week!

    I have just been offered a female syrian hamster by a woman on facebook, and I'm going to be picking her up in less than two weeks! Unfortunately I only have a 120x50x60cm enclosure instead of the commonly accepted 120x60x60cm minimum, but I also have a playpen and enrichment available, so hopefully it won't be an issue and she will be able to live a stress-free life. If she will not be satisfied with what I can offer, rehoming her through the Hungarian Hamster Rescue will still be a last option, though they still have the 80x50cm minimum for syrians and 60x50cm minimum for dwarves, I think they would be okay with adopting out a hamster only on my terms, which would be an enclosure at least 120x60x60. I have been watching your videos for a few years now and you definitely helped me with my first hamster, thanks to your informative content I already had a proper setup before taking him in from a facebook marketplace ad. I am very thankful for your videos, they are so easy to understand with the way you phrase things and even illustrate your points using high quality videos and pictures. Sending love from Hungary!❤

She is totally comfortable with my prescence, and being fed treats by hand, but she doesn't like being picked up or pet. Do you have any overall tips?? 🙂
