I've been getting a couple of the same questions now so I'll answer them here:
*can dwarfs live together?*

*Is a 10 gallon aquarium okay?*

*Is wood shavings okay?*
The only safe wood shavings for hamsters is ASPEN or HEMP. Pine, Cedar or softwood shavings (another name for cedar/pine) all are dangerous to hamsters and can cause upper respiratory infections if used. If you wood shavings bag is unlabeled it is best to stop using it.

When I bought my first hamster at Petco the employee there had enough decency to tell me that the cages they have are all too small and recommend I buy a bigger one online. I have a lot of respect for that guy who obviously cared more about the animals rather than selling their products.

Me: *gives my hamster my room*

Who else is feeling a lot of guilt over how many things they did wrong with the hamsters they had as kids? I'm so sad thinking the hamsters I loved as a kid were possibly miserable with how we housed them. Of course, we didn't have YouTube videos like this to help teach us back then. Thank you for doing this and spreading awareness. If I ever get one as an adult, I'm glad I know more about what should be done.

I cannot express how much you have helped me with my hamster care. If it wasn’t for you my robo would be in a tiny Petsmart cage. More people should watch these videos ❤️

I don’t own a hamster, yet I found myself here at 5 am. Not disappointed.

I'm 12 years old but i really really love my hamster I love him so much like a mother loves her baby so I really do my best to make him happy and I don't see him as a toy.

One time I had a friend over who started stroking my hamsters head, and he doesn’t really like that so I told her not to. Then she laughed at me and said ‘hamsters don’t have feelings, you idiot!’. Let’s just say I feel sorry for her guinea pigs.

my mom didnt want a hamster when i told her i wanted one....then yesterday she said (while holding him) "i would cry if he passed away"

In Germany we have really strict recommendations for pets to prevent wrong pet care. Of course, people can still buy tiny cages everywhere online-but in pet stores people tell you about the needs of the pets and how they have to be held. Very happy about that!

I saw the rage in your eyes as you looked at the small red cage

Me: **Stares at my sister not caring about cleaning her hamsters home and bought the small ass cage**
Sister: What are you doing?
Me: *Loving YOUR hamsters*

Almost all the people I have tried to correct their care they almost 100% of the time they say “ I got it as a gift and didn’t want to hurt the person who got it more me feelings “ HAMSTERS ARE NOT GIFTS

I went to petsmart to buy hamster supplies, and the worker there was very good!! I was very surprised, I thought she would say to buy a tiny tales cage. But she said, “buy a aquarium, because it’s the largest” and “buy some natural toys like wooden toys!”

I’m only 11 but i’ve watched nearly all of your vids, my parents know how much i want a hamster and finally said a few months ago i could get one. i’m so happy and told them i will save up and pay for everything. i’m so so excited and i just wanted to say thank you for making these videos they help people so much.
