THE PROPER ADVICE. 1: No hamsters are social,dwarfs could be housed together but if they fight,move immediately. 2: Please do not use 2 stories or small pet store cages. You can easily buy 60+ gallon fish tank or IKEA deltof. 3: hamsters need 450sq(square inches) not 60 inches! (Or more.) 4: please get the right wheel for your hamster.Do not buy mesh,wire or saucers. Buy a silent spinner or comfort wheel. 5: Water bowls are better then water bottles,so use that instead. 6: If you give your hamster enough bedding (8 inches is the best.) you can clean it out monthly. If you clean it out daily it will stress your hamster a lot.Leave some old bedding so they are familiar to the scent of the bedding. 7: Some fruits mentioned in this video contain a lot of sugar,such as the strawberry’s and peaches. Only give a slice of the strawberry and peach as a treat,not as daily feeding. 8: There is more then twigs for hamster dental care.There is fruit chews,sticks,etc. 9: Hamsters can have heat strokes,but you can leave them in a cool,well ventilated room and provide cool water each day during the summer. 10: Sand baths have not even been mentioned in this video. You can’t give hamsters water baths bc they have oils on their skin. You can buy a little hide and play sand will be good. 11: If you need any tips on owning a hamster,reply to my comment. Also,watch erin animals and Victoria Rachel.
This is the right info!! Listen to them….you can also watch Victoria Rachel she’s really helpful! Another thing you can make a IKEA linmon cage too there huge/cheap and so cute
Some people just buy a hamster for little kids because "hamster is an easy animal to take care of". Actually keeping hamsters warm and doing some activities with them is pretty hard. They are not toys!! Even they are small, they need proper care.
This's so true & most of the cages sold in pet shops & on line are far too small, especially for Syrians( which minimum recommend cage is 80cms x 50cms). Lovely little creatures but are neglected in so many ways albeit at times through ignorance.
this video gives very bad advise. I've made a list of correct info for everyone. 1. Not social animals. They will fight causing ingurey or even death, dwarf hamster can live together though but if they fight move them immediantly 2. They do not need two stories. they just need one very large space 3.They need at least 450sq of floor space. larger is better. 4.Aquariums are good for all hamsters> 60 gallons or more 5.With enough bedding you do not need to clean you're hamster cage weekly. Monthly. Cleaning your hamster cage fully every week is very stressful for them. At least leave 50% of the old clean bedding so that they are fimiliar to the scent. 6. Do not give your hamsters plastic or paper bags. 7.Hamsters also need animal protiens like meel worm and grains. 8.Do not give you're hamster meshed or wired weel. 11'' at least Sorry for he spelling mistakes. hope these help. not a expert but i am better then these people!
Kiera Sayer Actually, you can keep them in forty gallon and more, but other then that all of this information is accurate. Thanks for spreading the word. :D
Tomzid Ahmed just because u have many hamsters doesn’t mean that u know how to properly take care of them. yes hamsters can live together (not syrians) but there cage needs to be really big. like somewhere near 1000 sq inches and have double of everything (if ur housing 2 dwarfs) so they dont fight. its still not recommended to house them together. i have had 2 hamsters in my life and they both have lived in separate cages and the cages are 600 sq inches. i think u should do a bit more research hun. Btw im 10. ☺️
Thank you everyone in the comments pointing out misinformation and other sources. I'm super unlikely to get a pet soon, but someone close to me is really into hamsters. We know nothing about pets so without your advice, we could have easily gotten off on the wrong foot
This is incorrect you could even kill your hamster by leaving this advice. 1. Do NOT use CrittleTrail, use something of nonthing smaller than 450 sq inches, or 30' by 15' and you can even use an aquarium tank, but it needs to be at least more than 50 gallons and you do not need a 2 story cage or tank because Hamsters are ESCAPE ARTISTS, not CLIMBER ARTISTS. 2. Never EVER put two Hamsters together it is risky and you have a better chance of your two male and female hamsters dying. 3. with enough bedding like 8 inches like I have, you do not have to clean it each week or month, change it every 4 months. 4. Do not give your hamsters stuff they can get their teeth stuck or choked on like bags or small plastic toys left around. 5. Do not leave half of the tank old and new, I know you think that they will not get your scent if you clean it all but it is wrong. 6. for hamsters seeds, grains, worms, are good for you little hamster 7. DO NOT GIVE YOUR HAMSTER MESHED, BUMP, WIRED WHEELS.wheel size: Dwarf Hamster 6 inches. Chinese Hamster 8 inches.camperbell hamster 6-8 inches.Syrian Hamster 6.5 inches.Roborovski Hamster 8 inches. 8. DO NOT use WATER to BATHE YOUR HAMSTERS, use sand bathes, and do not use anything that is DUSTED OR POWDERED, it can give a scent and your hamster can die. 9. DO NOT place your hamster near windows or TVs, Computers or laptops, and pls do not place near speakers. 10. if you're going to buy a flying saucer have a bigger cage than 30' by 15' 11. Always bring a travel cage for evacuation or traveling, because one time I had a Syrian Hamster and there was a huge earthquake and my hamster cage fell and broke and I picked him up and just held him during the earthquake and it lasted about a 1-2 minutes and I was walking outside and I saw one of the mountains collapses down *by the way I live near Corona City* and I didn't notice for 5 minutes I think that he jumped and a couple weeks went by and I saw him in my backyard, his head squished by a rock. 12. And that is it, do not listen to people on youtube, first research it and cuss at incorrect RUclipsrs. Edit: In the hamster wheels for Syrians hamsters 🐹 I meant 8-12 not 6.5 and thank you Sophia
Wow. I commend you on your immense amount of hamster knowledge! I, too, am learning more daily about these delicate creatures. I just wanted to add that Syrians need at least a 10" wheel to prevent any back or neck issues.
The minimum is 100cmx50cm for all species which has been scientifically proven. Hamsters need at least 6 inches of bedding but 10 inches is recommended. Actually you should leave 1/2-1/3 of the old bedding in, this is to minimise stress For wheels, Syrian and Chinese hamsters need a minimum of a 28cm/11 inch wheel and for dwarves and robos the minimum is 20cm/7 inches. Flying saucer/disc wheel aren’t recommended as they make your hamster run in an unnatural “c” or “s” shape no matter how big it is, a flying saucer should never replace an upright wheel of appropriate size. So I highly suggest you research, instead of thinking you know everything.

This care is not actually correct. Hamsters are NOT social animals and need a cage with 450 sq inches of floor space or more. Do not use mesh wheels because they cause your hamster to have foot problems. Please watch Victoria Rachel's she knows a lot about hamsters :)
so much misinformation and when he’s talking about robo hamsters there is a chinese hamster on screen. also the clips of gerbils... which are not hamsters.
this video has A LOT of misinformation first of all, in the video they said clean the cage weekly, it should be cleaned monthly unless it smells really bad also in the video they did a full hamster cage clean do NOT fully clean ur hamster cage just spot clean which means that you only clean most of the soiled areas of bedding and some of the poop . second of all hamsters are NOT social animals it is very common for them to fight each other and minimum cage floor space is 450 square inches and that's just the minimum and it won't guarantee a happy hamster there is a lot more wrong with the video but there are a lot of comments stating the issues it would be better to scroll down a bit to find all of the problems and please check multiple sources to see if the information is true. One channel I would reccomend for hamster care is Victoria Raechel
Thank you so much because I just got a hamster for my 10th birthday and it is a lot to take care of and I don’t know how to identify if it’s a boy or a girl, so could you please tell me because I need a name❤ thanks there’s so much I didn’t know about hamsters😅❤❤❤❤🎉
- hamsters need a cage that is 80cmx50cm equivalent to 4,000cm squared however scientific research has been released showing the minimum to be 100cmx50cm which is equivalent to 5,000cm squared -hamsters cage environment shouldn’t exceed 22 degrees Celsius any warmer can cause serious health issues and over heating, any lower than 18 degrees Celsius can cause your hamster to go into torpor which is extremely deadly and has a high mortality rate. -wood bedding isn’t recommended because it cannot hold burrows and many forms of wood bedding is toxic such as softwoods (pine and cedar) which is what most pet shop woods are made out of are highly toxic to animals because of the hydrocarbons it releases causing to be toxic, paper bedding (unscented) is the best bedding to use, a minimum of 6 inches is needed to allow them to burrow. - water bottles aren’t recommended because they have a high chance of blocking/naming causing dehydration, it can chip teeth, it can hurt their neck etc, shallow water bowls such as a tea light holder is recommended because it’s more natural and doesn’t cause any damage. -most commercially prepared foods aren’t safe and does not have the best nutritional value at all, Huggins sunburst, puur hamster food etc are all great for hamsters…do not feed fruit and vegetables daily, as this can cause serious health problems like diarrhoea, picky eating et, they should be given 2 times a week and no portion should be bigger than the size of their ear; be careful when feeding dwarves and robos fruits and sugary vegetables as they are prone to diabetes. - scientific evidence has proven that hamsters can have small amounts of chocolate because they aren’t allergic to theobromine at all and it was way less than rats! So they can have small pieces of chocolate. -all species of hamsters are solitary even dwarves and robos, they are deemed more likely to live together however this isn’t recommended even by experienced owners as they will always become territorial, fight and kill each other. -all species of hamsters need a wheel, for dwarves and robos the minimum is 20cm and for Syrians and Chinese hamsters the minimum is 28cm-33cm -sand baths are necessary for all species of hamsters, this is how they bathe as they aren’t allowed to be in water or get wet, sand that are safe are, childrens non-toxic play sand with no dyes (has to be baked on 180 degrees Celsius for 30 mins) or reptile sand with no calcium or dyes (this can be put straight in) -hamsters aren’t advised for small children as they are fragile, need a lot of care/attention and money, they are also crepuscular meaning they are awake at twilight hours which means when we go to bed they will be awake.

not to be rude but some of these things are wrong 1 the cage should be 450 sq floorspace so 75*45 2 get a safe wheel nothing mesh it can cause bubble foot and that is not good 3 hamsters are not like rabits they need bedding get aspen or kaytee nothing sented 4 if u have a big enough cage u dont need to clean it everyday maybe 1 month or a couple weeks 5 they are not social animals so u should keep them mother and daughter or son and father 6 and dont give them plastic bags
umm.... i wanted to point out some things that are wrong that he said well.... the cage has to be 145 square inches of floor space. if you want a mesh lid with a tank then make sure the tank is 40 gallons large! and hamsters live for 3 years. not and hamsters are not allowed to be together or they will strike each other and 7 days later the will start killing. SO DO NOT PUT THEM TOGHER! and also, hamsters can not be in water. the clean themselfs, with sand. make sure its dust free, make sure you spot clean there cage every day, clean there hole entire cage once every month, make sure you have carefresh bedding and do not get pine bedding. it has dust, its pokey, and they don't give you enough in there bags. i may be 8, but i know all this because i did research for 2 years, then got 3 hamsters. don't worry! i did't put them together. and lastly, do not give them levels. just because u put 5 cages and 5 levels on top of each other, does not cont as more floor space. plus, hamsters hate climbing! and it would be great if you could subscribe to my channel QueenAvery! here is how you spell it : QueenAvery!
Plese do not use nesting fluff/cotton fluff/cotton balls. This can get wrapped around their teeth and trapped in their intestinal track leading to fatality in your hamster. (1:58)
They are not social animals and need a minimum of 450sq inches and don’t need 2 floors, they just need space to burrow in a large pile of bedding which has a minimum of 6inches
ik u wrote this a year ago but i hope u didn’t do these things bc most of this information was incorrect and not good hamster care so if u got another hamster or still have the same hamster u got when u wrote this i would recommend watching victoria racheal or erin’s animals so u can learn the correct hamster care and provide ur hamster with a good life :)

I have been owning them for 12 years but yes I believe they are, their first setup might be expensive but then you have the whole set up for another one when that one eventually passes.
@@ahmedshavin4448 yours probably would bite u cuz u got them from pet stores or cuz u didn’t wanna tame them. i got all my hamsters from rescues and they would never bite me.
Here’s things I found wrong with this video: since when do you clean once a week? More like once a month. Pellets for bedding? Showing videos of IMPROPER CARE. Asking your “local pet store” ? Showing a gerbil in the video?? Since when do they live 5 years unless their EXTREMELY well taken care of. Since when do they also need 2 LEVELS? They can fall and injur themselves.
@@skibititoiletrizzler actually this is wrong, carrots and tomatoes are high in sugar…you also shouldn’t feed fresh food daily as it can cause runny poo, upset stomach and can contribute to wet tail.
I want to adopt a hamster but idk if I can take care of it cuz I'm only 13 and don't have any older sibling, and my parents say that I have to take care of it on my own. Maybe I should wait until I'm old enough to take the responsibility or idk
Listen, im at your age, and please if you want to buy a hamster, there are 3 steps. 1-Do actuall reaserch because videos like this one are the definition of harmfull missinformation, hamsters are not social at all and much more. (I reccomend Victoria Reachel youtube channel) 2-Buy everything you need and make sure its not some junk, you will throw out after a month. Just make sure that what you buy is actually good, there is a lot of stuff harmfull or useless for hamsters. (Again I reccomend Victoria Reachell for that) 3-After you got everything, don't buy a hamster from a petshop, overall don't buy stuff from petshops, they litteraly get those hamsters from breeding warehouses where they abuse and kill those poor pets. If you buy a hamster make sure its from a good breeder. It can seem something hard but for real its not that much, after an hour long reaserch you should know a lot of stuff about proper care for hamsters, keeping them is not hard. The only hard thing is to buy all the good stuff in the first place.
i’m 12 and everyone else in my family doesn’t like hamsters so i am doing everything 😂 so if i can do it u can too just make sure ur providing the hamster with the correct card and have done a lot of research. I watch victoria racheal, erin’s animals and munchies place.
Don't worry about your age! I've been owning hamsters since I was 11. As long as you do the proper research and you have the motivation, you should get one if you really want to!
@@dingusbro925 Seriously? Just like guinea pigs and rabbits, hamsters' teeth continuously grow. They never stop. If hamsters don't have something to wear their teeth down on, they can get serious dental issues.
*PLEASE HELP* PLEASE So my friends hamster seems to have a “sticky” eye. We are trying to figure out what is wrong, maybe an eye infection. I told her not to touch it because it might be in pain. But please, help me with more advice.
Everyone remember a hamster is so genius then a Cat or Humans but they can't talk but they can understand everything ur telling the hamster my Hamster save my sister from a Car 🚗 100%True
Yeah but put them in a hamster ball or put them in a hamster bag so they don’t run out of your hands or just don’t take it at all but if you do wanna take it then put it in what I said hope this helps also yess I have a hamster don’t worry we took him to the mall and he was fine,
@@Bella-qh8wi ik i’m a year late but just so u know hamster balls r very unsafe and waking up ur hamster while it’s trying to sleep to take him to the mall is completely irresponsible
Hiya I've got a hamster, jangles, I only got her a month or two ago, she is extremely calm, never bit me or anyone else and is sociable with me and my family, she loves people, I did a normal health check: eg checking the eyes, looking at the teeth the basics: there was one that im concerned about, her hearing, she isn't responding to normal noises around the tank she lives in, such as me playing music around her, she simply does not respond, I tried taping on the glass: no response I tried gently shaking the lid: no response, she just kept on drinking, I've tried clicking sounds around her to look for a response: nothing, is there anything I can do to see if I can do anything about it? Thank you -Bee & Miss Jangles
Don't try to get a response from this channel because what they have said in the video is just so horribly wrong. My roborovsky hamsters has the same thing, and tbh i think its normal. I had those hamsters for 2 years, and they never responded to any type of sounds, it maybe can be a genetic thing, but from what i have seen its not harmfull at all.
ur hamster just probably has bad hearing it’s not really an issue ur hamster will be fine :) btw usually hamsters at pet stores have some sort of issues (idk if u got her from a pet store or not but if u did that’s probably why ur hamsters hearing is bad)
There is a question for you as a beginner. Do I need to take any medicine for hamster bites or do I need to vaccinate my hamster !! So that it does not infect anyone?
Hamsters cannot get vaccinated which is why it’s extremely important to keep them away from other animals and keep them inside. If you hamster needs medicine (ONLY use what your vet has given you, DO NOT self medicate) your vet will advise you how to give it.

Please delete this video and remake it based on proper research from new researched sources and studies. This is completely unacceptable and highly unethical and immoral.
@@AnimalWised You should be more responsible by taking down this video! Some people aren't able to check the comments, so they're not able to see everyone giving you constructive critism.
ik u said this a while ago but i would recommend watching victoria racheal bc she gives better hamster information some things in this video can kill ur hamster
i own my own hamster and when i watched this i was like none of this is true because most hamsters are anti soical animals and I wouldent recond mend getting your hamster a 2nd floor.
Ok I know I'm late and I'm not an expert but do not! Get a 3 story cage! If you alrwsyr have please if you havent get another cage(there is load sof options that you can make and buy!)I'm saying this as nicely as I can.. but please don't have a 3 story cage! :{
this is incorrect not being a hater im just saying that its not good to take all the bedding max is half u can do spot cleaning but never the whole cage it can cause stress, and when are hamster social they will kill each other and they are not meant to wear cloths bc of how little and delicate there bones are and again not to be a hater just its not good for people to be looking at this and seeing that and giving there hamsters incorrect care thanks for you time and bye :)
Why is everyone saying this is not a good care vid? I think it only covers the basis of hamster care, as a long term hamster owner I can say that I agree with most of this info especially the diet. Not to mention he DID mention the correct size, if you going to watch a vid from the UK, get to know our standards!
ik i’m a year late but there is a lot wrong with this 1.) he said hamsters r social which they r not.. at all 2.) he said hamsters like tall cages which is not true they r bad climbers and adding extra levels will not do anything for the hamster 3.) he said to clean the cage every week which is not necessary and is very stressful for ur hamster u can spot clean everyday but u do a deep clean once a month 4.) he said to do a full clean and doing a full clean is very stressful bc the hamster feels like they r in a whole new environment since there is not any of the hamsters smells in the cage u should only clean the soiled bedding which is like 1/3 or 1/2 of the bedding. the rest is clean and can be left in there 5.) at 2:01 he showed a hamster in a hide filled with fluff which if the hamster digest can wrap up in their stomach and suffocate them 6.) he said to give 2 portals of veggies everyday which is way to much u can feed veggies every 2-3 days too much veggies can give hamsters diarrhea 7.) he said to use wood or pellets for bedding which should not be used because u can’t burrow in the pellet bedding and wood bedding is bad for hamsters and can give them respiratory issues, paper based bedding is good especially when mixed with hay it will hold burrows very well i think there is more but i didn’t wanna list everything cuz this is getting long
Because it’s not good care advice at all, the minimum isn’t 60cmx50cm it’s 100cmx50cm.

THE PROPER ADVICE.
1: No hamsters are social,dwarfs could be housed together but if they fight,move immediately.
2: Please do not use 2 stories or small pet store cages. You can easily buy 60+ gallon fish tank or IKEA deltof.
3: hamsters need 450sq(square inches) not 60 inches! (Or more.)
4: please get the right wheel for your hamster.Do not buy mesh,wire or saucers. Buy a silent spinner or comfort wheel.
5: Water bowls are better then water bottles,so use that instead.
6: If you give your hamster enough bedding (8 inches is the best.) you can clean it out monthly. If you clean it out daily it will stress your hamster a lot.Leave some old bedding so they are familiar to the scent of the bedding.
7: Some fruits mentioned in this video contain a lot of sugar,such as the strawberry’s and peaches.
Only give a slice of the strawberry and peach as a treat,not as daily feeding.
8: There is more then twigs for hamster dental care.There is fruit chews,sticks,etc.
9: Hamsters can have heat strokes,but you can leave them in a cool,well ventilated room and provide cool water each day during the summer.
10: Sand baths have not even been mentioned in this video. You can’t give hamsters water baths bc they have oils on their skin. You can buy a little hide and play sand will be good.
11: If you need any tips on owning a hamster,reply to my comment. Also,watch erin animals and Victoria Rachel.

@@MyDreamyCorner Yes and no Because a rabbit will sometime eat the hamster.

They shouldnt have 2 stories. Cages should be spot cleaned weekly and fully cleaned monthly. It has to be 450 square inches or bigger.

Having 2 stories can help though

Because he clearly can't tell the difference between 2 different animals, apparently. 😂
Hamsters are honestly so cute.
But I don't think I'll get one due to their short life span.
And I'll end up being sad most of the time.
This is incorrect you could even kill your hamster by leaving this advice.
1. Do NOT use CrittleTrail, use something of nonthing smaller than 450 sq inches, or 30' by 15' and you can even use an aquarium tank, but it needs to be at least more than 50 gallons and you do not need a 2 story cage or tank because Hamsters are ESCAPE ARTISTS, not CLIMBER ARTISTS.
2. Never EVER put two Hamsters together it is risky and you have a better chance of your two male and female hamsters dying.
3. with enough bedding like 8 inches like I have, you do not have to clean it each week or month, change it every 4 months.
4. Do not give your hamsters stuff they can get their teeth stuck or choked on like bags or small plastic toys left around.
5. Do not leave half of the tank old and new, I know you think that they will not get your scent if you clean it all but it is wrong.
6. for hamsters seeds, grains, worms, are good for you little hamster
7. DO NOT GIVE YOUR HAMSTER MESHED, BUMP, WIRED WHEELS.wheel size: Dwarf Hamster 6 inches. Chinese Hamster 8 inches.camperbell hamster 6-8 inches.Syrian Hamster 6.5 inches.Roborovski Hamster 8 inches.
8. DO NOT use WATER to BATHE YOUR HAMSTERS, use sand bathes, and do not use anything that is DUSTED OR POWDERED, it can give a scent and your hamster can die.
9. DO NOT place your hamster near windows or TVs, Computers or laptops, and pls do not place near speakers.
10. if you're going to buy a flying saucer have a bigger cage than 30' by 15'
11. Always bring a travel cage for evacuation or traveling, because one time I had a Syrian Hamster and there was a huge earthquake and my hamster cage fell and broke and I picked him up and just held him during the earthquake and it lasted about a 1-2 minutes and I was walking outside and I saw one of the mountains collapses down *by the way I live near Corona City* and I didn't notice for 5 minutes I think that he jumped and a couple weeks went by and I saw him in my backyard, his head squished by a rock.
12. And that is it, do not listen to people on youtube, first research it and cuss at incorrect RUclipsrs.
Edit: In the hamster wheels for Syrians hamsters 🐹 I meant 8-12 not 6.5 and thank you Sophia
Wow. I commend you on your immense amount of hamster knowledge! I, too, am learning more daily about these delicate creatures. I just wanted to add that Syrians need at least a 10" wheel to prevent any back or neck issues.
Sophia Berger yeah 👌👍 you are right I did made kinda a mistake and you are right actually
@@eliasfromlindsey That's ok! Just helping our other hamster lovers :)
Sophia Berger thanks you make me feel better you my first nice person to talk to me and the secret is I get bullied
The minimum is 100cmx50cm for all species which has been scientifically proven.
Hamsters need at least 6 inches of bedding but 10 inches is recommended.
Actually you should leave 1/2-1/3 of the old bedding in, this is to minimise stress
For wheels, Syrian and Chinese hamsters need a minimum of a 28cm/11 inch wheel and for dwarves and robos the minimum is 20cm/7 inches.
Flying saucer/disc wheel aren’t recommended as they make your hamster run in an unnatural “c” or “s” shape no matter how big it is, a flying saucer should never replace an upright wheel of appropriate size.
So I highly suggest you research, instead of thinking you know everything.

This care is not actually correct. Hamsters are NOT social animals and need a cage with 450 sq inches of floor space or more. Do not use mesh wheels because they cause your hamster to have foot problems. Please watch Victoria Rachel's she knows a lot about hamsters :)
so much misinformation and when he’s talking about robo hamsters there is a chinese hamster on screen. also the clips of gerbils... which are not hamsters.
My white hamster died few days ago and I still cry for him every night didn't expect that I will love hamsters that much
Our cousins found a hamster in their house,and ofc they couldn’t take care of it ,so here I am brainstorming to take care of it
Hope it went well 👋😒
A wild hamster in their house? You sure it's not just a mouse or anything? 😂
@@rowan0331 Nah its from the neighbor's house, illegal breeding or lost pet
@@senjirotadaske9589 Oh, that's sad.
Could you do a video on things you need to have before you get a cat?
I wouldnt from these people.
Getting a hamster soon 🤗 trying to learn a little before I get her! ❤
this video has A LOT of misinformation
first of all, in the video they said clean the cage weekly, it should be cleaned monthly unless it smells really bad also in the video they did a full hamster cage clean do NOT fully clean ur hamster cage just spot clean which means that you only clean most of the soiled areas of bedding and some of the poop . second of all hamsters are NOT social animals it is very common for them to fight each other
and minimum cage floor space is 450 square inches and that's just the minimum and it won't guarantee a happy hamster
there is a lot more wrong with the video but there are a lot of comments stating the issues it would be better to scroll down a bit to find all of the problems and please check multiple sources to see if the information is true. One channel I would reccomend for hamster care is Victoria Raechel
Thank you so much because I just got a hamster for my 10th birthday and it is a lot to take care of and I don’t know how to identify if it’s a boy or a girl, so could you please tell me because I need a name❤ thanks there’s so much I didn’t know about hamsters😅❤❤❤❤🎉
I like the idea you used for me 😊
Thanks I use to treat my hamster like crap now I will treat him good
the information in this video is horrible so u still r treating ur hamster like crap
- hamsters need a cage that is 80cmx50cm equivalent to 4,000cm squared however scientific research has been released showing the minimum to be 100cmx50cm which is equivalent to 5,000cm squared
-hamsters cage environment shouldn’t exceed 22 degrees Celsius any warmer can cause serious health issues and over heating, any lower than 18 degrees Celsius can cause your hamster to go into torpor which is extremely deadly and has a high mortality rate.
-wood bedding isn’t recommended because it cannot hold burrows and many forms of wood bedding is toxic such as softwoods (pine and cedar) which is what most pet shop woods are made out of are highly toxic to animals because of the hydrocarbons it releases causing to be toxic, paper bedding (unscented) is the best bedding to use, a minimum of 6 inches is needed to allow them to burrow.
- water bottles aren’t recommended because they have a high chance of blocking/naming causing dehydration, it can chip teeth, it can hurt their neck etc, shallow water bowls such as a tea light holder is recommended because it’s more natural and doesn’t cause any damage.
-most commercially prepared foods aren’t safe and does not have the best nutritional value at all, Huggins sunburst, puur hamster food etc are all great for hamsters…do not feed fruit and vegetables daily, as this can cause serious health problems like diarrhoea, picky eating et, they should be given 2 times a week and no portion should be bigger than the size of their ear; be careful when feeding dwarves and robos fruits and sugary vegetables as they are prone to diabetes.
- scientific evidence has proven that hamsters can have small amounts of chocolate because they aren’t allergic to theobromine at all and it was way less than rats! So they can have small pieces of chocolate.
-all species of hamsters are solitary even dwarves and robos, they are deemed more likely to live together however this isn’t recommended even by experienced owners as they will always become territorial, fight and kill each other.
-all species of hamsters need a wheel, for dwarves and robos the minimum is 20cm and for Syrians and Chinese hamsters the minimum is 28cm-33cm
-sand baths are necessary for all species of hamsters, this is how they bathe as they aren’t allowed to be in water or get wet, sand that are safe are, childrens non-toxic play sand with no dyes (has to be baked on 180 degrees Celsius for 30 mins) or reptile sand with no calcium or dyes (this can be put straight in)
-hamsters aren’t advised for small children as they are fragile, need a lot of care/attention and money, they are also crepuscular meaning they are awake at twilight hours which means when we go to bed they will be awake.

not to be rude but some of these things are wrong
1 the cage should be 450 sq floorspace so 75*45
2 get a safe wheel nothing mesh it can cause bubble foot and that is not good
3 hamsters are not like rabits they need bedding get aspen or kaytee nothing sented
4 if u have a big enough cage u dont need to clean it everyday maybe 1 month or a couple weeks
5 they are not social animals so u should keep them mother and daughter or son and father
6 and dont give them plastic bags
Your videos about hamsters are very astonishing! love it!
I love hamsters too. 😍
This video spreads a lot of misinformation!
umm.... i wanted to point out some things that are wrong that he said well.... the cage has to be 145 square inches of floor space. if you want a mesh lid with a tank then make sure the tank is 40 gallons large! and hamsters live for 3 years. not and hamsters are not allowed to be together or they will strike each other and 7 days later the will start killing. SO DO NOT PUT THEM TOGHER! and also, hamsters can not be in water. the clean themselfs, with sand. make sure its dust free, make sure you spot clean there cage every day, clean there hole entire cage once every month, make sure you have carefresh bedding and do not get pine bedding. it has dust, its pokey, and they don't give you enough in there bags. i may be 8, but i know all this because i did research for 2 years, then got 3 hamsters. don't worry! i did't put them together. and lastly, do not give them levels. just because u put 5 cages and 5 levels on top of each other, does not cont as more floor space. plus, hamsters hate climbing! and it would be great if you could subscribe to my channel QueenAvery! here is how you spell it : QueenAvery!
Thank you sooo much this was so helpful since my friend just got a new hampers for Christmas
you are soo welcome!
We can’t have a wire cage because my sisters rat chewed the bars and died in the kitchen overnight.
Omg...
Damn that's really weird
Your sister's rats chewed the metal bars?!
This video has bad advise, I would recommend watching Victoria Raechel’s hamster care videos.
Plese do not use nesting fluff/cotton fluff/cotton balls. This can get wrapped around their teeth and trapped in their intestinal track leading to fatality in your hamster. (1:58)
1:34 there is a gerbil not a hamster
2:59he has two hamsters together😡😠😨😨
best hamster care advise EVER!!!
sorry to burst ur bubble but a lot of information in this can kill ur hamster
Not at all! Please do research!
As soon as a saw gerbils in a hamster video I was like. I am out of here 😑
I can not use mesh weels because the hamsters foot can get stuck.
I can’t imagine taking a hamster to the vet
This was super helpful! Thank you so much :)
i love the hamsters ! and the one in the bottle!
So today I buy a hamster 😊❤
Thank you 🙏
They are not social animals and need a minimum of 450sq inches and don’t need 2 floors, they just need space to burrow in a large pile of bedding which has a minimum of 6inches
Thanks im about to get hamsters tomorrow this was really helpful
ik u wrote this a year ago but i hope u didn’t do these things bc most of this information was incorrect and not good hamster care so if u got another hamster or still have the same hamster u got when u wrote this i would recommend watching victoria racheal or erin’s animals so u can learn the correct hamster care and provide ur hamster with a good life :)

I'm watching just...because...I'm not getting one, my cat doesn't need live food. lol
I have a hamster I bought it yesterday and I have to. I watched this video how to take care of them.
Here’s things I found wrong with this video: since when do you clean once a week? More like once a month. Pellets for bedding? Showing videos of IMPROPER CARE. Asking your “local pet store” ? Showing a gerbil in the video?? Since when do they live 5 years unless their EXTREMELY well taken care of. Since when do they also need 2 LEVELS? They can fall and injur themselves.
Adviceeeew THE MINIUM FOR A HAMSTER CAGE IS 100X50X50 IF HE CLIMBES THE WIRES OF THE CAGE IT MEANSE HE IS TRAUMATIZED/STRESSED
Now I can take care of my tiger hamster thanks a lot
This video spreads a lot of misinformation!
This video spreads misinformation and I wouldn’t trust this page.
There is no such thing as a tiger hamster
No, the minimum size is 80x50x50.
Also, you've shown tiny cages, wired wheels and fruit should be fed sparingly for dwarves.
@@scifirocks true and also don’t feed them any veggies with a lot of sugar like carrots in them
@@lolake8636 no u can feed veggies they r good for hamsters they r not sugary they r fine
However scientifically proven the minimum needs to be 100cmx50cm for all species of hamsters.
@@skibititoiletrizzler actually this is wrong, carrots and tomatoes are high in sugar…you also shouldn’t feed fresh food daily as it can cause runny poo, upset stomach and can contribute to wet tail.

@@ganyucomehome963 because their care is wrong and bad
@@ganyucomehome963 It's spreads misinformation.
I love Dwarf hamster
Your little pal is very pretty. Our busy djungarian hamster looks also charming. Mine is as cute as yours.🥰🥰
I want to adopt a hamster but idk if I can take care of it cuz I'm only 13 and don't have any older sibling, and my parents say that I have to take care of it on my own. Maybe I should wait until I'm old enough to take the responsibility or idk
Listen, im at your age, and please if you want to buy a hamster, there are 3 steps.
1-Do actuall reaserch because videos like this one are the definition of harmfull missinformation, hamsters are not social at all and much more. (I reccomend Victoria Reachel youtube channel)
2-Buy everything you need and make sure its not some junk, you will throw out after a month.
Just make sure that what you buy is actually good, there is a lot of stuff harmfull or useless for hamsters.
(Again I reccomend Victoria Reachell for that)
3-After you got everything, don't buy a hamster from a petshop, overall don't buy stuff from petshops, they litteraly get those hamsters from breeding warehouses where they abuse and kill those poor pets.
If you buy a hamster make sure its from a good breeder.
It can seem something hard but for real its not that much, after an hour long reaserch you should know a lot of stuff about proper care for hamsters, keeping them is not hard.
The only hard thing is to buy all the good stuff in the first place.
i’m 12 and everyone else in my family doesn’t like hamsters so i am doing everything 😂 so if i can do it u can too just make sure ur providing the hamster with the correct card and have done a lot of research. I watch victoria racheal, erin’s animals and munchies place.
Don't worry about your age! I've been owning hamsters since I was 11. As long as you do the proper research and you have the motivation, you should get one if you really want to!
Thank you this video with useful
it’s mostly all wrong and will kill ur hamster so yup really useful..
This video spreads misinformation!
Thank you they are very sociable to humans x
no there not 😂 😂
If you bond with them properly!
Not always, some hamsters don’t like human interaction and that’s something the owner will have to respect.
i like your vids!!!
Well you shouldn’t because this is a lot of misinformation and not how to care for your hamster.
This video needs to be taken down!
VERY VERY bad advise! And you speak as if you're an expert!
1:42 is that a dead rat hanging from the box lid?
Oh, my. I didn't notice that! I wouldn't think so, though. 😂 It's probably just a hanging chew toy, or something like that.
It’s a millet spray, I thought that at first
@@rowan0331 since when do hamsters need a chew toy? A chew toy thats identical to a rat no less🤣🤣
@@dingusbro925 Seriously? Just like guinea pigs and rabbits, hamsters' teeth continuously grow. They never stop. If hamsters don't have something to wear their teeth down on, they can get serious dental issues.
@@rowan0331 so they chew on dead rats?
It makes me feel lazy knowing when I get a hamster I have to do all this
actually u have to do more then this this video didn’t talk abt a lot like sand baths and stuff and gave some bad information that can kill ur hamster
*PLEASE HELP* PLEASE
So my friends hamster seems to have a “sticky” eye. We are trying to figure out what is wrong, maybe an eye infection. I told her not to touch it because it might be in pain. But please, help me with more advice.

Please go to a vet, this is your legal responsibility as an animal owner under the animal welfare act 2006

Yeah but put them in a hamster ball or put them in a hamster bag so they don’t run out of your hands or just don’t take it at all but if you do wanna take it then put it in what I said hope this helps also yess I have a hamster don’t worry we took him to the mall and he was fine,
@@Bella-qh8wi ik i’m a year late but just so u know hamster balls r very unsafe and waking up ur hamster while it’s trying to sleep to take him to the mall is completely irresponsible

Hiya I've got a hamster, jangles, I only got her a month or two ago, she is extremely calm, never bit me or anyone else and is sociable with me and my family, she loves people, I did a normal health check: eg checking the eyes, looking at the teeth the basics: there was one that im concerned about, her hearing, she isn't responding to normal noises around the tank she lives in, such as me playing music around her, she simply does not respond, I tried taping on the glass: no response I tried gently shaking the lid: no response, she just kept on drinking, I've tried clicking sounds around her to look for a response: nothing, is there anything I can do to see if I can do anything about it? Thank you
-Bee & Miss Jangles
Don't try to get a response from this channel because what they have said in the video is just so horribly wrong.
My roborovsky hamsters has the same thing, and tbh i think its normal.
I had those hamsters for 2 years, and they never responded to any type of sounds, it maybe can be a genetic thing, but from what i have seen its not harmfull at all.
ur hamster just probably has bad hearing it’s not really an issue ur hamster will be fine :) btw usually hamsters at pet stores have some sort of issues (idk if u got her from a pet store or not but if u did that’s probably why ur hamsters hearing is bad)
Ever think that your hamster may be deaf?
The cage is to small
There is a question for you as a beginner.
Do I need to take any medicine for hamster bites or do I need to vaccinate my hamster !! So that it does not infect anyone?
Just so you know, this video spreads a lot of misinformation. Also, about your question, I wouldn't worry too much about hamster bites if I were you.
Hamsters cannot get vaccinated which is why it’s extremely important to keep them away from other animals and keep them inside.
If you hamster needs medicine (ONLY use what your vet has given you, DO NOT self medicate) your vet will advise you how to give it.

this is incorrect not being a hater im just saying that its not good to take all the bedding max is half u can do spot cleaning but never the whole cage it can cause stress, and when are hamster social they will kill each other and they are not meant to wear cloths bc of how little and delicate there bones are and again not to be a hater just its not good for people to be looking at this and seeing that and giving there hamsters incorrect care thanks for you time and bye :)
Also you should only completely clean the cage once a month not week

That wheel is to small
me who got a hamster from my friend cuz he got it from a crazy lady at his job and i’m refreshing my memory
this is a very helpful video thank you for making it this has great advise for me when I get my very first hamster :)
This video spreads lots of misinformation! I recommend not listening to anything they say about hamster care.
Why is everyone saying this is not a good care vid? I think it only covers the basis of hamster care, as a long term hamster owner I can say that I agree with most of this info especially the diet. Not to mention he DID mention the correct size, if you going to watch a vid from the UK, get to know our standards!
ik i’m a year late but there is a lot wrong with this
1.) he said hamsters r social which they r not.. at all
2.) he said hamsters like tall cages which is not true they r bad climbers and adding extra levels will not do anything for the hamster
3.) he said to clean the cage every week which is not necessary and is very stressful for ur hamster u can spot clean everyday but u do a deep clean once a month
4.) he said to do a full clean and doing a full clean is very stressful bc the hamster feels like they r in a whole new environment since there is not any of the hamsters smells in the cage u should only clean the soiled bedding which is like 1/3 or 1/2 of the bedding. the rest is clean and can be left in there
5.) at 2:01 he showed a hamster in a hide filled with fluff which if the hamster digest can wrap up in their stomach and suffocate them
6.) he said to give 2 portals of veggies everyday which is way to much u can feed veggies every 2-3 days too much veggies can give hamsters diarrhea
7.) he said to use wood or pellets for bedding which should not be used because u can’t burrow in the pellet bedding and wood bedding is bad for hamsters and can give them respiratory issues, paper based bedding is good especially when mixed with hay it will hold burrows very well
i think there is more but i didn’t wanna list everything cuz this is getting long
Because it’s not good care advice at all, the minimum isn’t 60cmx50cm it’s 100cmx50cm.
Hamsters shouldn’t live together
Wood based bedding isn’t safe
Not all commercial foods are safe
