  • So... this is the story of how we brought home a new family member from the adoption section of Pets at Home! She is settling in okay and will take food from our hands, we haven't tried handling her yet and are building trust. P@H had her listed as a male but she is definitely female, leave name suggestions in the comments section and help me get that song out of my head!! More videos on her soon including setting up her new enclosure xx

    Excellent owner buying a detolf for your new hamster! She looks a real sweetie.

      Thank you, I've had them before for hammies and they're by far my favourite. I can't go back to a shop bought cage after having the Detolf, you realise how much they enjoy the space. I hope she's going to be happy in it :) We aren't at the handling stage with her yet and I'm giving her time but she's eating out of my hand now and seems pretty gentle

    What a sweet story :) ...and really, anybody who does not ride the cart at IKEA obviously has not lived!
    I am so envious of that pet store, it seems that in the US it is just about dogs and cats. They get most of the store and then birds, fish, reptiles.... and the smallest amount goes to bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice etc. who get one measly aisle that is crammed with cages and bedding. The amount of toys is so small that the word amount is really a misnomer.

And the woman gave me two cardboard boxes incase he would try to escape. Now he is so adorable ad has grewn too much! he's a dwarf hamster and my baby!

    same with me! I was all like:"I'll just look at the rescue website around me for future reference, ju-ju-just to see what kinds they have! I won't be getting a second one until much later.."
    a few hours later I contacted the rescue and a week later I took Mick home.
    But he just stole my heart, there was nothing I could do! He had been born and been raised at the rescue, the only one left together with his brother, Gregg. Nobody wanted the two redeyed baby and the foster lady told me she had given up hope of any of the two ever finding a forever home, she was really sad but at the same time very happy. So now I have 2 hamsters 😂
    aaand, I would suggest Silver or Starry maybe, because she looks like a star to me 😎✨

    • @BeckysAnimals
      @BeckysAnimals  5 лет назад +8

      Hiya! Pets at home have a seperate section for their adoption animals, it's pretty much the same process as buying one from them but the money goes to charity. They will ask a couple of questions about what set-up you have, if you have any other pets and take your details so they can give you a call after a couple of days to see how they are settling in. Then they should do a basic health check to see that they are okay to leave and give you some tips on health issues such as wet tail. The adoption fee is a minimum donation of £8 for a hammie :) That's so exciting, good luck with the adoption xx

Service dogs must be kept under control and they can't be sniffing stuff to the point the owner has to push them out the way.

    When I was getting my hamster
    He was put in a cardboard box
    A very slim one!
    23 sq inches!
    My hamster was scared, confused, sad, wild, not tamed,
    While we were in the car there were air holes,
    He bit the holes and got out! I was holding her as we were in ikea because,
    You can’t leave the hamster in a car
    I was so annoyed,
    He continuesly kept trying to run out of my hands I attempted to tame him as quick as possible,
    And my lord! He was tamed! I was like, ‘wtf’
    He stood still in my hands relaxed and happy!
    It was quite strange, he bit me because a child came up to him, which I didn’t even know the child!
    The child came up to my hamster and squeezed him! My hamster ran around again, I got the child’s parents to take her away from me,
    I attempted the taming again!
    It worked! We had to purchase a hamster ball so he could run around in it while I attached his detolf
    Once he got in it I had chews all around, he went straight for them I took him out and looked at his teeth!
    They were overgrown!
    How could the pet store allow a hamster to have overgrown teeth? I have no idea!

    How much is a hamster I’m getting one

      It depends where you get one. I have mostly brought mine home from the adoption section of pets shops, they are a donation of around £12 from Pets at home or I adopt from websites like gumtree or preloved. If you live in the US I know some pet shops have adoption hamsters for free or people sometimes adopt from Craigslist.
