My Hamster Care THEN vs NOW

I hope to continue to make videos like this one every couple of years to show you my own growth in hamster care and that it doesn't just happen overnight. I too once started with smaller cages, barely any bedding or enrichment.

Can we also talk about how 360p & 480p quality used to be considered good 😂 I don't know how I filmed those videos and thought it was good quality.

The book at the beginning is incredible! I’m so happy they are trying to teach children proper care of animals. It should 100% be incorporated into schools.

I could feel your pain when you talk about your oldest hamster enclosures. I hope it brings you some peace and relief that not only have you improved your own hamster enclosures, but hundreds of thousands of people who have updated their hamster enclosures based on your videos.

by sharing what you know, you've helped a lot of first-time hamster owners skip the first steps! thank you for all you do :)

[kylah_rose]

Oh my gosh I just love your channel and how much you’ve grow over the years and how much you dedicated to just make sure your hamsters have a good life | ❤️ thank you

The new hamster book is so awesome! I hate how most children's books have misinformation about hamsters. This is a game changer! Love your videos!

It´s really inspiring to see your progress. I got my first hamster over 20 years ago and my hamster care has emproved so so much since then. The important thing is: NEVER STOP LEARNING 🥰🐹

✨I love how you're being so humble about this and not making anyone feel bad. I love your videos and thank you for helping me and so many others care for their hamster! 🐹

i am genuinely so proud of you and as a fellow hamster owner i am so scared to show my past pet care because I am a lot better now and actually learned everything I know about hamsters from you so this was not only an amazing video but it takes guts to show past mistakes like this and I really appreciate this 😊🐹💕

My first hamster, Dusty, just recently passed away the day before my birthday and I just want to say thank you. In order to convince my parents to get me a hamster, I decided to learn all there was to know on hamsters and you helped me learn so much as well as give her a long life. Thank you <3

I've had about 10 hamsters. i was probably 5 or 6 when i got my first hamster and Im 18 now. just this year I learned proper hamster care and looking back i feel so guilty and I wish i could've done better. i appreciate your time to making videos to educate people bc without you, i probably wouldn't ever have learned. <3

First! Wow, that book in the intro is amazing! They should have that in every elementary school classroom, it would really help change the incorrect hamster care stereotype! Your hamster care journey is really inspiring! I'm a huge fan and you have inspired me to start a YouTube channel to help educate people on proper hamster care, so thank you! You're are amazing, Victoria! 🐹❤️

It’s so heart warming how Victoria does sooo much for her hamsters and doing her best

And there are other ways to provide things on a tight budget.
I took brown paper packaging & twisted it up & made a “log” bc I just don’t have the $$ for driftwood, etc. I saw my hamster under it all happy.
I took an old plastic tub & that’s his sand bath. I made a multi chamber hide w cardboard.
Also, I found aquarium sand on Chewy for $5. It’s very soft & my hamsters love it.
For my Syrian, I used an older food dish for his water dish.

I love your videos. My hampster is living the life thx to you. ❤

[elizabethandrus]

Just got my hamster a couple days ago! Thanks to you he is thriving in his new forever home❤️

[louisetollin]

hey victoria, love your vids. My hamster Elvis is from a pet store backround and he was always very scared and would try to bite on every interaction even after a couple months. I have been watching alot of your vids and Following alot of your tips and he no longer bites, eats out of my palm, loves a pet and enjoys free roaming and exploring me. Thank you so much! Love me and Elvis.

[carlygerber]

Wow! I'm so proud of how far you have come Victoria ❤

[hammyluvv]

The books illustrations are beautiful 🤩

[cynthiaporta]

Finally, a book that tells the proper way to care for hamsters. They deserve it. 🥰
