My first hamster cage was small, and she was in a ball.i feel absolutely awful that she had to have that. Now, Pearl (winter white dwarf) has a 700 square inch cage with 9 inch bedding and lots of enrichment with a large wheel and tunnels!! All thanks to you and your advice!
I love how you also talk about other species of hamsters. Often when I am looking at food mixes they are all designed for Syrians, and not dwarfs. This video really helped, thank you!
This is helpful! I didn’t know hamsters could eat egg whites and and all of those meats. I just checked the ingredients and nutrition facts of Gumdrop’s food and luckily her food is suitable. Also I recently gave her fresh veggies (a spinach leaf) for the first time and she loved it!😊
Thank you for telling me all about this, sadly my very first hamster passed away in February due to a sickness but I had a small cage, used a ball, brought him around dogs and sometimes cats, fed him pellets and foods that were not healthy for them. I regret everything. Rest in piece Ollie ❤

I give all my hamsters vegetables. Most vegetables have super low carbs such as greens, zucchini, cucumber. None of the hamster mixes are available in the US. There’s 1 company that has a dwarf only mix & a gerbil & hamster mix, but I the dwarf mix had a higher amount of alfalfa hay. Only 1 of my hamsters likes fly larvae & 3 of 4 like meal worms. They all love egg whites, chicken, & hamburger meat 😋
Great video! Im planning to get a seed mix from etsy soon! At the pet store i saw a seed mix with pellets and in the pellets there were hay and im just like 😳 it was targeted towards hamsters- Miso Absolutely LOVES mealworms, its so cute seeing her eat them 🥰
Thank you for these wonderful video’s! I was wondering how you made those little rolls with the mix stuck to them? Do you rol some cardboard in flour and water?
I'm glad you liked it! For the forage rolls, you can combine plain flour or buckwheat flour with water to make a glue like consistency, then cover either cardboard or wood chews with it. Then, stick their food mix on and let it dry! 🐹💕
i have a duprasi and i cant find there macronutrients any where i don't know what to feed him he currently is of pet shop gerbil mix but he's so fussy he barely eats
Hello! Just to clarify, the beginning of the video states that Syrian hamsters have a higher tolerance for wheat, rye, oats, and corn. Later in the video, Those things are listed as things you do not want in a food mix. If I am looking into getting a Syrian hamster, are those still things that shouldn't be in their food mix, or are they okay since they have a higher tolerance? Just trying to get as much info as possible!
I have a question should i remove my hamsters wheel because he never uses it he just runs around his cage alot and has used it 2 times in the past 8 months?
No, hamsters must have a wheel. They may not be running on the wheel, as it is too small. Make sure they have a solid, upright wheel, made of either plastic or cork. It should have a minimum diameter of 11 inches for Syrians, 8 inches for dwarfs. 🐹💕
This was such a great video! I didn’t realize that dwarf hamsters don’t need to eat much vegetables. I feed my dwarf hamster 1 tsp of her food mix every other day, since that’s the amount of days it takes her to eat (almost) all of it. Does that sound okay? 😅 Somebody on my channel told me to feed her more.. so now I’m a bit paranoid. 🐹
Hello! I hope my question gets answered😊 about campbell dwarf hamsters since they are prone to diabetes I’m not sure if I should buy Rodipet dwarf junior or Bunny dwarf dream expert hamster food because I noticed Rodipet has almost the same protein and fiber percentage with bunny dwarf except rodipet’s fat content is higher (10%) while bunny dwarf food mix fat % is just 6%. I also heard a few “coincidental” bad experiences with bunny dwarf like their hamster getting sick but got better after switching to a local hamster food mix although I heard a lot of good reviews saying bunny dwarf is a good hamster mix and I heard 1 saying it lacks variety (has 20+ food content) I want to provide the best for my campbell dwarf hamster but in my country the only nice hamster food being sold are Bunny Dwarf, Rodipet, and I guess Sunburst
Hey guy, my hamster is obese(old owner doesn't know how to take care of it) so now it has fatty eyes (eye pop out because of fat) so do u have any advice except go to vet
How i wishhh Philippines import stuff from getzoooo the only good mix i can get right now are bucastate hamster mix ( species specific) and bunny nature

That's wonderful to hear! Don't feel bad about making mistakes with your first hamster, as you learnt from them. 🐹💕
I used to have winter white named Pearl too lol

Hamsters should eat vegetables at least twice a week.

Thank you so much! Don't worry about it! That amount is fine to feed your dwarf 🐹💕
What food mix do you feed her? I am looking to get a Roborovski Dwarf and i am trying to decide what mix to feed it.
I can't wait till I get my hamster

Mk but why is pancake so cute when it eats
I’m so glad I found your channel ! I rescued five baby teddy bear hamsters and the dad😢 - getting them some dust for bathing, and real food !
Which one is better
Chubby cheeks hamster food or
Robins hamster gorment food
They are both great! 🐹💕
So I just got robins gourmet my black Syrian hamster loves it ❤
aaaaand i am off to go make my ham a salad 😂

They need to go to a vet. Please take them to a vet, and they will be able to help.

🐹👍
Wait so only feed your hamster ounce a week some one please tell me 😮😅
No, I didn't say that. You feed them about one tablespoon of food mix a day. Vegetables minimum twice a week, but you can feed them more often. 🐹💕
I tried giving my hamster mealworms but he just keeps smelling it and turning his head away🥲
Yes, some hamsters are like that. Maybe try offering them live mealworms, or any of the other protein sources I mentioned 🐹💕
can you feed them live fish?
No, I don't think so 🐹💕
I asked for the time, not how to make the clock😂 thanks for the overload of information tho🎉
Thank you so much lol 😆
