@@VictoriaRaechel can you talk about Brushing Long-haired hamsters, hamster “safe” brushes and what beddings can get matted in they fur p.s. love your vids you’ve taught me so much ☺️☺️☺️☺️
My hamster finally figured out that she can use her sand bath to clean herself instead of just digging in it- I just love watching her roll around in the sand, it’s soooo cute.
My hamster is new to the luxury life so she’s not exactly sure what to do with her sand (she’s old and was owned by kids who were inexperienced with hamsters) she just digs in it and sits and eats her food in it lol
This definently helps a lot! My hamster is really skittish and is not quite tame yet, but I can still grab him to check him, but when I do im not always fully sure exactly what im looking for. I knew hamsters are supposed to have health checks so I would usually just make sure the hamster is normal, but this could still let me miss an important detail. This really helped me on knowing what I am checking on and looking for, so I can know if my hamster is sick and treat it early❤
This was very helpful! Thank you so much! I never knew half of this stuff! Maple (my hamster) has never had any problems and next month she’ll be 1, so I’m really starting to keep an eye on everything (I’ve always tried to, though) because she is getting older. She’s a Syrian, and she looks so much like Dipper! The hams are cute (as always😍) and I love Mabel’s fur coloring!!!! Thanks again, Victoria!💖
Despite having had hamsters for decades, i always find your videos informative & helpful! We have a heatwave in the UK right now, and my little Muffin seemed very listeless, even when he came out for his evening run around he was back in his cage quite quickly, but after a couple of days he deceided to stay out, under a chest of drawers near an outside door, i think there was a slight breeze, so i just left him to it...there's no way he can get out of the room..left his cage open with plenty of food and water, and he seemed a lot happier where he was, he popped out and trotted about in the evening, went into his cage to eat & drink but went back under the drawers to sleep..finally a little cooler today, and he came out and went into his own cage and went straight to sleep! Under the chest, i have found a stash of food, cotton wool pads and a couple of face wipes which he's swiped from a waste basket, a chewed eyebrow pencil, a pair of knickers and a 1/2 eaten cookie! I had no idea he'd been quite so busy while i was asleep!
I would recommend keeping a fan in the room, (not to near his cage) and have lots of ceramic things in the cage. You can put a small flower pot in the freezer but make sure to thaw it to where it’s just a tad bit cold and put it in the cage. I might help when it is hot out. Also try not to let him have cookies they can be bad :)
Thank you Victoria, as usual, you give informative info and I am always learning to take better care and how to maintain a healthy hamster. I have been watching you for years now and I am glad that you allowed another hamster into your life to love and care for. It is so hard to open your heart to another hamster after losing one especially since their life expectancy is so short. But the great thing is they are so easy to love and are so darn adorable.
I know how you feel My hamster Pippin passed away from heart failure and I was devastated He was only 3 months old As he was dying he was wrenching his back and doing really weird stuff But as he was doing it I was laughing bc it looked like he was swimming and I didn’t know he was dying I hope you feel better ❤️🩹 But the pain you have probably won’t go away for a while I still have dreams about him and I’ll wake up and start bawling my eyes out May Dash Rest In Peace I bet Pippin and Dash are up in heaven having a blast Eating treats and having long naps together And they’ll be best friends I’ll keep you and Dash in my thoughts ❤️🩹🐹
So what happened was dash was starting to act weird ( he was 1 year and 5 months) every time I wanted to pick him up so I could check him he bit me then I closed one of his eyes the on a Saturday morning I checked him and his eye was pop out just a little bit but he couldn’t see well so my dad go so eye drops and his eye got better every time we put it in so first we went to a vet and said “we don’t treat hamsters sorry “ and I was really anguished but kept my tears back then we went to a different vet and said they thought he was a dog when my mom said clearly he was a hamster and I was a bit angry but mostly sad for his mental health then we finally found a vet who treat hamsters I was very happy as soon a we got there the doctors were so nice but the sad part comes they to the exam of dash and said that he had a tumor in his little tummy and was in complete shock and they told us that they could give him medicine or put him down:( I started to cry a lot and I said “ can my dad and brother come say there goodbyes “ and the doctors said “yes” and my dad and brother came but the only one who knew was my dad because my mom called him and said that he had a tumor so then my dad rushed to the vet and brought my brother and they came and said there goodbyes and the doctor came in and took dash to the back and said “we will put him down now “ I saw that the doctor had tears in her eyes then came back with dash and let us spend time with us and took him to the back and bought him back with him being in a gray bag that said dash and she put his orange stick which was his favorite toy . Dash December 13 2020- May 16 2022 fly high 🕊❤️💕
Thank you for the advice! I own a male and female Dwarf Hamsters and I check on them everyday without fail to make sure that they are ok and well looked after. Thankfully no health issues at all. But it is something I'm always aware of and look out for if anything is wrong with them.🙂
This is so helpful! I got a new hamster and she had puffed cheeks on the 7th day! I was so scared at first and thought she had a disease, but then realized she stored food in her cheeks.😂
I’m so happy you made this video! I just got my hamster today for my birthday ( a gift to myself 🐹). I prepared the cage yesterday and this couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you so much for helping me and everyone watching provide help in order to give our hamsters the best lives possible. ❤️
This is such a great video! I'm currently an SVN and I see so many people who have never done a health check on their animal, and some that aren't even aware of what they are. They're such a crucial procedure that in some cases can help establish the cause of potential underlying health problems. So again, thankyou for filming this video and putting it out there for people to see and understand. 🙂🐾
Hey Victoria, I lost my hamster today. I tried to give her the best life possible, and I owe one to you for helping me along the way with hamster care.
hey! just got a little syrian hamster, named him neville. U gave me so many tips and I am happy that he will live more happily, I was originally making many mistakes. Thank you so much, love ur vids!!
My hamster had an impacted cheek pouch when I had picked him up one day. I was able to get it fixed but if I hadn’t been checking on him, I probably would have lost him. He lived on to be 2 1/2 years before old age took him. My Gimli, dwarf hamster.
i just wanted to come on here and say how much Victoria has helped me! i used to put 5cm of bedding and a small wheel and that was it! but now i have upgraded my cage to a savic plaza with 3-5 inches of bedding and lots of toys, natural forage and more! thank you victoria!
Omg I'm so glad I watched this. Jinki's breath has been smelling so bad lately so now I know he may have an impaction and I should take him to the vet. The only thing is I'm poor I don't have the money for an exotic vet and I know what you guys are thinking 'well you shouldn't have bought him' I didn't. My 11 year old niece did and brought him home and their landlord said no. She caught them walking in with it. So they brought him to my house. My niece doesn't even come to visit him anymore. I've fallen in love with him. He's a winter white Russian dwarf hamster. 😥
I work at a petstore and I constantly reference and suggest your videos because I've found them to be the best at providing proper care/information for new hamster parents (and for my own knowledge!). So thank you for doing what you do, it gives hamsters a great start to their life on a daily basis!
Hi ! It's been a while:). I js wanted to stop and say thank you for teaching me about hamsters all these years, your actually the person that made me want one in the first place. My hamster monkey, just died last Sunday. He lived 2+ years, and he lived a happy life. I'm still feel horrible that I lost him, but I knew the time would happen sooner or later. Thank you sm for teaching me the right care for him, thanks to you he lived a good life while it lasted. If any of you guys want hamsters, but can't handle their lost, I don't really recommend them. Take care:)
Hey Victoria, I have been following you for a while now. I love watching your videos so I can give my hamster a better life. Sadly, my hamster passed a few days ago. I wanted to say thank you for everything you have done for me and my hamster. Your awesome! And I will continue to recommend your care to other people to raise awareness and how important your hamsters life style is! I don’t think my hamster would have made it this long without you so, thankyou. X
My agent gifted me a pair of dwarf hamsters and they are sooo cute and I immediately researched how to properly care for them and I am sooooo sooo excited in my hamster care journey and felt blessed that I found your channel ❤️ Your content is so educational, relaxing and fun!
I got my first hamster last week. I had them as a kid but my parents looked after them. So this is all new to me. So thank you for all the advice, these videos help me so much. I'm so glad I came across your channel.
Victoria, I just want to thank you for your channel and all the educational videos that you provide. Thanks to you, I was able to provide a hopefully good home and comfortable life for a hammy that came into my life unexpected. He has since passed at the ripe old age of 2 years 4 months and I can honestly say that he probably would not have lived that long without your channel :)
This is such a good video! You're very good at explaining things I just got my hamster yesterday, this will definitely help Thank you so much Victoria for everything you do!
Thank you for this video, I for some reason didn't know Syrians had bumps on their foot. This was a great help. I hope you can help other hamster owners!
We just adopted a white dwarf hamster from a relative who ended up staying/moving far away. Completely unprepared and I haven’t owned a hamster since I was 12, which was back in 2006 lol. Thank you for making these videos! My son, husband and I are excited to give this hamster a better and more fun life!
Thank you, this was really helpful! My Princely doesn't like being touched so I can't pick her up and do physical check and if I tried putting her in a bowl she'd make a run for it. I usually feed her and take that time while she's stretching to check. Thanks to all your advice my Princely has been able to live a (hopefully) happy life.
You get some really great pictures of your hamsters real life, to demonstrate and show how to care for them you are awesome Victoria thank you for sharing‼️❤️❤️
The most helpful video ever! It is worth asking in advance where there is a suitable exotic veterinarian. If you need it, you don't have to panic about it, have a plan or practice for it. Thank you very much Victoria, hamster care would be unthinkable without you!
Ive been watching you for nearly 3 years now. My Bellamy (male Syrian hamster) is 2.5 years old. Super happy and healthy, still full of energy. He is starting to need to eat baby food and taking naps randomly. But I don't think he would have lived this long with his old family I rescued him from at 8weeks old. 💓
As someone with a robo, I recommend placing them in a glass/plastic container instead of picking them up so you can check their belly and balls and everything else.
I just want to thank you, in November I will be getting a new hamster. I had two when I was younger at ages 11 and 13 and both lived in a small critter trail. I will be 19 soon so much older and I’d like to think more responsible! My mum bought a cage and I caused a little argument about it because of how little it is and she tried to justify the cage size by saying the hamster is small so it can fit inside the small cage. But! I think she understands now and accepts the fact I want to build my own bin cage that I know is going to be suitable! I’ve learnt so much from your channel and I’m so glad I’m now educated on hamsters so I can give my little fur baby the life she/he deserves when the times comes 🥰
Hi Victoria I finally got my hamster after all my hard work 2 days ago and she's already doing so well. I've taught her to stay and her name. You videos helped me take care of my hamster ty!!
Thank you for mentioning about hamsters that aren’t fond of being picked up or handled. My hamster dislikes it and I always thought I must have been doing something wrong!
I’m so glad I found your channel. I had hamsters as a kid and you know - did my best with the information that I had. Now that I’ve moved away from home I wanted something to keep me company in the apartment and decided on a hamster. I wanted to do some research first though and luckily found you (and some other great channels). Now I’ve just built my own detolf cage, gotten four different types of safe bedding, two brands of food blends with great variety and a wheel that’ll actually be big enough and not made of metal bars that little feet can get stuck in. Now I’m just waiting for a breeder I’ve been talking to to have a Syrian ready to move in with me. The last hamster I had as I kid was from a pet shop. He was taken too early from his mum and never got used to humans. Both of the hamsters I’ve had showed signs of stress, which we mistook as “normal behaviour” and “playful climbing”. I’m so glad that I know better now and I feel prepared to give my new little fur baby a much better life than the past ones have had❤️
Thanks so much for mentioning the tips for hams that don’t like to be touched. My robo is friendly and curious but is not a fan of being picked up or pet. Which is a shame because he is SO soft 😍
Thank you for this video, it was very useful for all hamster owners! I will definitely be aware of these things in my own hamster. Thank you for spreading this information and advice, lovely video as always! 💕
I’m super excited! I’m finally next on a wait list for a hamster at our local hamstery!!! Time to binge watch Victoria’s videos to refresh my hamster care knowledge 💕
Hi Victoria I have been so glad you’ve been posting these hamster videos and it helps me with my hamster tiny she got bit on the ear by another hamster when she was little
My sister got a hamster at 10 years old And she knows absolutely nothing I have been watching your videos ever since I also told my mother to get a bigger hamster cage But she doesn't spend money on them I'm trying to make a 600 square inch bin cage right now Thanks to you!!
Imagine a world where we cant trust the petstore (they don't even sell the appropriate enclosure) and the petstore literally lies to customers about the needs of these animals. We dont need to imagine. That is whats happening. We have to go to the internet to get appropriate information from people who care. Do I need to start an ethical pet store?! Why is it so hard to provide what the animal actually needs in terms of enclosures. It is their literal world. I also keep betta fish.. so that is another pet that very mistreated (and generically weak) due to the petstores misinformation and poor breeding practices. Now learning that hammies are so mistreated too makes me want to save them. Every view you get on this channel is helping hammies all over the world get better care. I hope you feel those heartwarming good vibes because these videos make a real difference in educating on what the animal needs. The first step is educating people. Maybe one day those tiny hammie prisons will be banned. And we can thank the passionate pet owners on YT for being ethical and spreading knowledge on their care and raising the bar. Because if everyone was as outraged about tiny hammy prisons as we are they simply would no longer exist.
Here to say your thumbnail for this video is so cute! I love all the effort you put into your videos. It really comes across. Also I found this useful for my gerbils as well! I know things are different for them but it's still good to see your methods and what to look out for
Charming and informative, as always. I'm not in a position to have a hamster, but I hope to soon. Your videos always remind me of my little buddy Papa Midnight. He was a black bear Syrian and I only have fond memories of him. Best. Rodent. Ever.
Thank you! This really helps to make sure my hamster is healthy cause my mom is not so big on bringing my hamster to the vet😬 so this takes some of my worries away❤️❤️
Hey Victoria my female winter white was bleeding down there and I thought she was having a period thanks for telling me that I’m going to bring her to a vet
I lost my hamster a few months ago to an unknown illness. One day, he just became lethargic, was really swollen, and wasn’t eating. Just sleeping. I tried to take him to any vet that was open but they didn’t or specialize in animals that small. I never found out what was wrong with him, he passed away. It stills hurts to this day. Thank you for this video.

I just got a new hamster yesterday, and thanks to you she’s not living in a tiny tails cage! Thank you for you’re help!❤️
thats awesome!
Oh nice with cage are you using
I'm so happy to hear that!
I love seeing comments like this 😊
@@VictoriaRaechel can you talk about Brushing Long-haired hamsters, hamster “safe” brushes and what beddings can get matted in they fur p.s. love your vids you’ve taught me so much ☺️☺️☺️☺️
My hamster finally figured out that she can use her sand bath to clean herself instead of just digging in it- I just love watching her roll around in the sand, it’s soooo cute.
My hamster is new to the luxury life so she’s not exactly sure what to do with her sand (she’s old and was owned by kids who were inexperienced with hamsters) she just digs in it and sits and eats her food in it lol
Will definitely use this in the future when I am ready to get a new hammy! 💗
I mean its nice to know there’s people on youtube that know the proper care
This definently helps a lot! My hamster is really skittish and is not quite tame yet, but I can still grab him to check him, but when I do im not always fully sure exactly what im looking for. I knew hamsters are supposed to have health checks so I would usually just make sure the hamster is normal, but this could still let me miss an important detail. This really helped me on knowing what I am checking on and looking for, so I can know if my hamster is sick and treat it early❤

My Syrian hamsters called maple too! 😁🐹
Despite having had hamsters for decades, i always find your videos informative & helpful! We have a heatwave in the UK right now, and my little Muffin seemed very listeless, even when he came out for his evening run around he was back in his cage quite quickly, but after a couple of days he deceided to stay out, under a chest of drawers near an outside door, i think there was a slight breeze, so i just left him to it...there's no way he can get out of the room..left his cage open with plenty of food and water, and he seemed a lot happier where he was, he popped out and trotted about in the evening, went into his cage to eat & drink but went back under the drawers to sleep..finally a little cooler today, and he came out and went into his own cage and went straight to sleep! Under the chest, i have found a stash of food, cotton wool pads and a couple of face wipes which he's swiped from a waste basket, a chewed eyebrow pencil, a pair of knickers and a 1/2 eaten cookie! I had no idea he'd been quite so busy while i was asleep!
I would recommend keeping a fan in the room, (not to near his cage) and have lots of ceramic things in the cage. You can put a small flower pot in the freezer but make sure to thaw it to where it’s just a tad bit cold and put it in the cage. I might help when it is hot out. Also try not to let him have cookies they can be bad :)

This video is helping me so much for me and improve my care sadly my hamster dash died in may :( ,Thank you for the amazing content ❤️:)
I remember when my last hamster died, the are in a better place🥺😢😭
I know how you feel
My hamster Pippin passed away from heart failure and I was devastated
He was only 3 months old
As he was dying he was wrenching his back and doing really weird stuff
But as he was doing it I was laughing bc it looked like he was swimming and I didn’t know he was dying
I hope you feel better ❤️🩹
But the pain you have probably won’t go away for a while
I still have dreams about him and I’ll wake up and start bawling my eyes out
May Dash Rest In Peace
I bet Pippin and Dash are up in heaven having a blast
Eating treats and having long naps together
And they’ll be best friends
I’ll keep you and Dash in my thoughts
❤️🩹🐹

Great Info as always. Anybody else affected by the Hammie Yawns in the video, I see anything yawn and I yawn too, a reflex I can't control.....
See a vet

My mum bought a cage and I caused a little argument about it because of how little it is and she tried to justify the cage size by saying the hamster is small so it can fit inside the small cage. But! I think she understands now and accepts the fact I want to build my own bin cage that I know is going to be suitable! I’ve learnt so much from your channel and I’m so glad I’m now educated on hamsters so I can give my little fur baby the life she/he deserves when the times comes 🥰
Hi Victoria I finally got my hamster after all my hard work 2 days ago and she's already doing so well. I've taught her to stay and her name. You videos helped me take care of my hamster ty!!
Thank you for mentioning about hamsters that aren’t fond of being picked up or handled. My hamster dislikes it and I always thought I must have been doing something wrong!
Dipper and Mabel on the thumbnail 🥺 I can't, the pics you got are too cute!
I’m so glad I found your channel. I had hamsters as a kid and you know - did my best with the information that I had. Now that I’ve moved away from home I wanted something to keep me company in the apartment and decided on a hamster. I wanted to do some research first though and luckily found you (and some other great channels). Now I’ve just built my own detolf cage, gotten four different types of safe bedding, two brands of food blends with great variety and a wheel that’ll actually be big enough and not made of metal bars that little feet can get stuck in. Now I’m just waiting for a breeder I’ve been talking to to have a Syrian ready to move in with me.
The last hamster I had as I kid was from a pet shop. He was taken too early from his mum and never got used to humans. Both of the hamsters I’ve had showed signs of stress, which we mistook as “normal behaviour” and “playful climbing”. I’m so glad that I know better now and I feel prepared to give my new little fur baby a much better life than the past ones have had❤️
I love that you decided to do research first! Now a lucky hamster is going to get amazing care!
Thanks so much for mentioning the tips for hams that don’t like to be touched. My robo is friendly and curious but is not a fan of being picked up or pet. Which is a shame because he is SO soft 😍
Hey Victoria! Hope you get to make one on changes on senior hamsters and their behavior changes as they age 🥰🥰 thank youuu
Thank you for this video, it was very useful for all hamster owners! I will definitely be aware of these things in my own hamster. Thank you for spreading this information and advice, lovely video as always! 💕
Hi! My favorite youtuber I clicked as soon as I saw
Hi!!
Its an honor to be the 30th comment
Edit: great job! You are so helpful and I learned so much from you tysm ily❤️
Thank you!
Ahhh omg you responded🥺
This video really helped me! This will totally help me improve my hamsters quality of life! Thanks Tori! ❤️❤️
Happy to hear that!
Thank you! A spot on for the details. I checked my dwarf hamster teeth every couple of days as he needs regular trimming.
I’m super excited! I’m finally next on a wait list for a hamster at our local hamstery!!! Time to binge watch Victoria’s videos to refresh my hamster care knowledge 💕
Hi Victoria I have been so glad you’ve been posting these hamster videos and it helps me with my hamster tiny she got bit on the ear by another hamster when she was little
My sister got a hamster at 10 years old
And she knows absolutely nothing
I have been watching your videos ever since
I also told my mother to get a bigger hamster cage
But she doesn't spend money on them
I'm trying to make a 600 square inch bin cage right now
Thanks to you!!
This is super helpful! Also Mabels licking is soooo cute💕
Mabel is so cute, especially the part when she eats the baby food, Dipper is also so furry ( he looks like a teddy bear!)
Thank you!!
Imagine a world where we cant trust the petstore (they don't even sell the appropriate enclosure) and the petstore literally lies to customers about the needs of these animals. We dont need to imagine. That is whats happening.
We have to go to the internet to get appropriate information from people who care. Do I need to start an ethical pet store?! Why is it so hard to provide what the animal actually needs in terms of enclosures. It is their literal world.
I also keep betta fish.. so that is another pet that very mistreated (and generically weak) due to the petstores misinformation and poor breeding practices. Now learning that hammies are so mistreated too makes me want to save them.
Every view you get on this channel is helping hammies all over the world get better care. I hope you feel those heartwarming good vibes because these videos make a real difference in educating on what the animal needs. The first step is educating people.
Maybe one day those tiny hammie prisons will be banned. And we can thank the passionate pet owners on YT for being ethical and spreading knowledge on their care and raising the bar. Because if everyone was as outraged about tiny hammy prisons as we are they simply would no longer exist.
this came in handy,, just yesterday i was worried about the fur on my hamsters scent gland being wet. this really helped!

Here to say your thumbnail for this video is so cute! I love all the effort you put into your videos. It really comes across. Also I found this useful for my gerbils as well! I know things are different for them but it's still good to see your methods and what to look out for
Thanks for the cup trick! I had no idea how I was gonna pick up my tiny robo for the health check, plus he is a "don't touch me" kind of hamster
Charming and informative, as always. I'm not in a position to have a hamster, but I hope to soon. Your videos always remind me of my little buddy Papa Midnight. He was a black bear Syrian and I only have fond memories of him. Best. Rodent. Ever.
Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you! This really helps to make sure my hamster is healthy cause my mom is not so big on bringing my hamster to the vet😬 so this takes some of my worries away❤️❤️
This video is going to help me so much to find out and my hamsters have any illnesses or behavior changes
This will help me a lot considering I haven’t had an unhealthy or sick pet before.

I lost my hamster a few months ago to an unknown illness. One day, he just became lethargic, was really swollen, and wasn’t eating. Just sleeping. I tried to take him to any vet that was open but they didn’t or specialize in animals that small. I never found out what was wrong with him, he passed away. It stills hurts to this day. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for the tips!!
