W HAMSTER MOM FR
It's so good to see a "normal person" (not hamster/rodent enthusiast, rescue, pet shop or breeder ect) doing so much right!! Love that you also mentioned how you used to think hamsters = small cages and hamster balls. We all start somewhere and it's great to show that people can love hamsters even with misinformation, as long as they're willing to learn and adapt to give them a great life. Nyla is absolutely adorable!!
thank you so much! and yes I hope to help people on their own hamster journey, cos we all get stuff wrong sometimes!
A small tip that I can give you is don’t move her hoard of food in her tunnels because it makes hamsters very stressed after they learn that it’s not where they left it, but that’s it, good cage :))
Unless they pee and poo in hoard best left alone yes
@@sherrie553how do you know that the underground toilet is full?
how are u supposed to clean it then? i’m new to hamster care, and would love to know
Need more people like u who cares for their hamsters
aw bless
there is also “victoria raechel” she gives good advice for hamster care and what u need for there cages
@@sophiadodson8778 yes i do watch her vdos as well but what i meant to say was there are not many people like them in the internet.
I have the same hamster species, and she is the opposite. She is what the hamster people call a ghost hamster. Super scared, bitey, etc... So I treat her like a fish, lol. I give her the entire world, and just watch her. Her current enclosure is 1,704 sq inches, with half of it being sand, and half being 10+ inches of bedding.
You are so right about hamster supplies being ridiculously expensive! I ended up making a lot of mine or using things that weren't specifically made for her. Also, my cage is a DIY and it ended up being over 200 US $ to get hamster safe supplies so that I could make it as big as possible (71 inches L x 24 inches wide x 24 inches tall) and that was still cheaper than the biggest ones on Amazon, lol!
yes my previous hamster, all I could do was watch them, did not like being around people! and that's so cool you diy'd your cage
The biggest con for me is after learning how disinterested they are in humans sometimes. I honestly did go into getting a pet because I am so lonely, and the feeling that my babies might just not like me is a bit sad. But hey, I'm not forcing anything on them.
YESS EXACTLY, some hamsters don't wanna chill with their owners and thats okay but it can be sad sometimes. All hamsters are different, my first hamsters was SO uninterested but Nyla is a lot more friendly!
IT IS SO NICE TO SEE PEOPLE ACTUALLY RESEARCH AND TAKE PROPER CARE OF HAMSTERS
AGREED, seeing proper hamster care is so refreshinggg
BEST HAMMY MOM 🔛🔝
ah omg, thank you!
Nice to see the upgrade cage for nylaa 😍
yesss thank you!!
Yah, I had exactly the same experience. I mean, I knew they needed a lot more space than the little cages but I didn't know anything like; balls are bad for them, sand baths are necessary, not optional, and the bedding they often sell in pet stores is DEADLY TO THEM!!
First hamsters I've had since I was a kid, are two roborovskis and they are absolutely insane. I've been as patient as one could be, as is possible to be, yet still if I were to handle them outside the cage they would most definitely be lost. They are SO fast.
yes there's so much hamster info we don't kno but should!
You posted! Yas! I Watch ur laut video 20 min ago! Love ur Channel!
bless
great video , informative and entertaining . i always throw away the hoarded food [ in case of any wee or poops on it ] but i do put in some new replacement food in the area i found it , usually a tablespoon amount then i scatter feed a bit extra when cage is finished for my hammy to collect up .
wait, thats such a good point. thank youuu
Great video!this is way underrated,we need more hamster owners like you!the setup is amazing
thank youuu
Im thinking abt getting a hamster and this really helped! I owned one before, but it was around 3 years ago and im ready to own one again! :)) I also LOVE your hamsters house its beautiful and has so much space, love it!!
thank you!
Loved the video! You mentioned that you thought nyla was a winter white, she is actually a hybrid dwarf. Because of bad breeding practices there are no more domesticated pure bred winter white and campbells dwarf hamsters 😕 I hope this was helpful!
oh damn, yeh so helpful!
I love this and the set up looks amazing! Nyla is probably living her best life! Adorable little hammy
girlie i'm so proud of you.
what an upgrade!
I am so happy u posted a vid
I loved your hamster videos so much!! I just love your vibe overall. New sub!!
thank youuuu!!
So Amazing Niamh ❤ I love your videos X 💞
Thanks Susan!!💜
Shes precious
Ohmy god right after watching ur first vid im so so happy that u have more hamster content its so fun to watch from u :,)). AMAZING CAGE UPDATE BTW!! Haven't seen any of ur recent uploads tho and im sure its been a journey, will continue watching! Im planning to get a diy bin cage tho but hopefully I'll be able to upgrade in the future. Thank u for being so kind enough to want to spread the right info
I hope you enjoy your new hamster!! Glad I can help!
One thing I have learned while owning hamsters is, if you want a cuddle buddy go for a Male Syrian Hamster, I had one named Cloudie that passed last October, he was super friendly and loved cuddling, he never once bit me and it was super easy to tame him, he would even sleep on me (I have pictures). I'm not saying all Male Syrian's will be just like him, but males are definitely more cuddle friendly rather than females, I don't have dwarfs but I do currently have 2 Female Short Haired Syrian hamster's, their nice and all (still babies so I am still taming them) but their definitely not the same as Males and they are way more energetic than Males.
Thank you thank you for showing how to tame. And the doggie part too. My Hermes is feisty, and my Jolyne is cautious.
omg yeh! thanks for watching!
Literally love your account so much ur so relatable omg ur just the best
omggg thank youu!! glad u like my videos !!❤
@@niamhjoy ofcc 🫶🏻 your so underatted
I’m getting my hamster Nibbles on Saturday and I’m so exited!!! Thank you for making these videos it really helps since this is my first hamster
Aw yay, I'm so glad to hear that!!!
Love the setup! Nyla is adorable. I would just recommend spacing out the rocks in her enclosure a bit so she does not get a foot stuck. Other than that great job!
I got a detolf cage too
Yay new video

my robo doesent like being pet so i stoped, but he likes taking food out of my fingers but not on my palm which is amazing that he knows what he likes and doesent like, hes a ghost hamster so the SECOND i see him he either runs off or hides, i do get to feed him though and he loves the scatter feeding i do. i love hamsters sm omds, how do people not!
aww your robo sounds so cute! its so cute to learn each hamsters own personality, lol.
i love you and your videos girl
lovin the support fr😪

Ty!👍
For some reason my hamster likes being handled with gloves. I'm trying to get her used to my hands, she's okay with it but she's not intrested but then when I put gloves on and she's running all over the place 🤣
aw so cute!
The cutest hamster ever !!!!
Good video
Awww Nyla is so cute! I have a Robovroski dwarf living in a 110 qt bin cage, so she’s very hard to tame, I think she may be a ghost hamster but I’m not sure, I will keep trying tho :]
aw yeh, all hamsters are different, but im sure she's abordable!!
Hi! I'm setting up my new detolf tomorrow as an upgrade from their 357 sq inches cage currently and I love your cage :)
oo exciting, im sure your hamster will love it!
@@niamhjoy yess I'm so excited to get it set up! Currently glueing the holes in my bendy bridge at 5am 😂
@@leaving.. so real, i feel that😭
@@niamhjoy so time consuming istg 🥲
@@niamhjoy one thing, idk where you live but if they ship to you hopes healthy treats is a rlly good brand for sprays etc and they sell Whimzees for 50p each
can you do a video on what you got for your hamster
One more con from me to you - availability of specialised vets. If you don't have an exotic-pets-specialised vet in your city you're kinda gambling if a standard vet knows enough about rodents to provide suitable care in case anything happens. Usually it's not a lot of standard vets that are capable of helping a rodent.
facts💯
I'm also very creative when it comes to making hamster stuff I even made my own carrier and I also love how creative you are like at first I thought you buy everything but then when I saw your videos I was like oh I can make some stuff so thank you for your videos help me a lot and I just thought that hamsters need a small cage then I started watching your videos and I was amazed and I also see some hate comments but I also see that you don't really care about that anyone says about you so I really like that 🐹 and I'm 9 years old 🐹
This is all good advise, my mom is getting me a hamster very soon.
May I ask where are you from? Some of your words have a different accent. Im from the Midwest (Illinois)
At some point in the video I can see a flag hanging on her wall
She sounds like she has a slightly British accent
she said in a previous video that she grew up in the UK but moved to north america and thats why her accent is a little all over the place :)
Scottish flag@@noqueq9003
OMG, I'm getting ready to have one I've been everywhere looking and leaning before get one,I need to be ready,ready... and Baby girl❤️ your VIDEO is helping🎯 🙌, very well describe. Please keep making them....# love and Peace to you🙏
omg, bless. great you found it helpfulllllll!
WHY are you so underrated you rll need likes like 1 mio
Regarding the dog vs hamster part of your video, my opinion is that some smaller faster breeds of dogs have been used to actually kill them over the years. Jack russells etc. you do see more big dogs being friendly with smaller animals on youtube, right?
I'm not too sure which dog breeds could be comfortable with smaller rodents, but I always say "better safe than sorry"
Ok but another pro - you often don't have to buy a chew toy, if you have some rural not polluted supply of twigs or branches of birch or chokeberry or pretty much any of deciduous trees or fruit trees, you can just pick it up and roll with it : D
we love free things
Omega cute!!! As my mom would say "Que Chuleria"!!!
💙💙💙
Last time I saw you you had the cage under your desk
I really want one but my family travels a lot and i wouldn't be able to afford to hire a sitter especially for 6 weeks in the summer
AHHH YOU GOT A DETOLF CAGE🫶🏽💗
And you are a good hamster mom and
Nila is a good girl 💕
Hi again! Just saying I love your videos i will support you all the way may I please have a shout out in one of your next videos i would love that, you are such a great hamster owner, I just got a hamster named Boba 2 days ago, he is now living in a 670 square inched bin cage, I really love your videos keep up the good work!
omg ofc! if i make another video I'll def shout you out, thanks! much love for Boba🐹
You can use vinegar to clean hamster toys.
Could you do like a night som r morning routine? Or like Maybe a introducing new foods to her ❤️❤️ I😻🐹
My cat licks himself after eating too.❤
aw so cute
I have 4 hamsters 3 were rescue and it’s mean to say but I feel like they are a tad ungrateful😅 they are all in 40 gallon plus aquariums my syrians in 75s enrichment, hides, sprays, scatter feed, 11 inches wheels, 10 inch bedding, sand bath, coco fiber, korn kob substrates and both my syrians try to escape
They also get water bowls not bottles and veggies every few days and I let them free roam in my walk in closet
I swear last year the detolf was on sale for $59 now that i want one for a hamster it's $129 😭
The bell toy; Yk?? It is almost like the bell is in a mini bell jail lol please take the bell out. It’s dangerous the bell got stuck on a hamsters nose.
I can tell you have an andrew tate accent lol, half british half american lol. Love your hamster enclosure and hamster
Is your hamster still alive?
What kind of hamster do you have? 😊💗
Nyla is a dwarf hamster and i think she’s a hybrid winter white!
That hamster licky to have you🎉🎉
🧍ariana, what r u doin here?
@@niamhjoy supportin mah bestie is all 😊😊😊
youre so beautiful
🫠ah thank youuuu
do hamsters smell bad?
Mostly depends on how much you clean the cage which I do mine about every month , also some hamsters poop and pee in their sand baths (Not all do though) ! So it helps with the smell since you can skim through the sand easily and just throw away the nasty stuff! My little girl does it and makes it much easier for me to clean the cage since I don't have to throw out a lot of the bedding :)
@@goldenheart190 You're so sweet! Thank you
@@user-ju2ej6yo3t 💖
@@nomadpotato LOL
Do u hv Bf??
what is the name of the cage you have?
I thinks it’s actually a dresser from IKEA flipped sideways?
It's the ikea detolf!
Hi, yes its an IKEA shelf called the detolf that I just put sideways!
@@niamhjoyoh thank you!!
I love seeing super big hamster habitats like that in the RUclips lands.🤌🐹🏠
