I recently got a robo-dwarf and if it weren’t for you he’d probably be living in a tiny-tales cage and a wheel that’s much too small. But instead I have a bin cage with 600+ square inches of floorspace and a 7 inch wheel! I just got to hold him for the first time two days ago <3 Thank you for what you do Victoria, it really helped!! :D

The Kaytee bedding one, I work at a petstore and we get that packaging in! It's the same thing but it's a "store use" packaging or bulk!

I've been banned from /hamsters because I told someone their cage and wheel were way too small 🙄 People only care about other people's feelings, not so much about the actual well being of the hams.

video suggestion: eco friendly hamster care - i guess looking at second-hand enclosures (have to be big enough obviously), second hand tunnels and toys (and how to clean them), bulk buying bedding for minimal plastic wrapping (and possible composting afterwards), small eco hamster businesses (like Oakwood forest shop from insta doesn't use plastic packaging ect.
brilliant video as always though, thanks so much for everything you do :)

so grateful for all you’ve done for the hamster community! i cannot imagine what hamster care would be like if it weren’t for you <33

Just a second ago, my hamster got stuck in my sauna heater 😭 it was so stressful but I eventually got him out with some good ol’ apple

r/ hamsters is how I learned about you and I'm so glad! It was easier to watch your videos than read in sections them trying to explain what I needed to know. My son's hamster went from living in a tiny tales cage (going off of what I did when I was a kid with hamsters), bored, peeing and pooping where he slept, etc. to a 682 sq in DIY bin. The first morning, we found he did in fact separate his bathroom from his roaming and especially eating spaces, immediately began digging and is more willing to be petted by us. It's not quite right, but I am still adding little by little, and replacing some of the plastic junk from the original purchases. I wish I found you before we got him, he would have been happy as soon as we brought him home.

The right version of the kaytee is because it's directly from the manufacturer instead of re-packaged to fit store eye catching style. It's typically used for bulk buys. I got two 50L bags from amazon and got the manufacturer style.

I had 2 hamsters a really long time ago when I was 7 and they lived in a tiny tales cage. I did clean their cage, give them good food and veggies, played with them tons and really loved them. I learned in 2021 how bad of a cage i gave them and cried a lot. I wished I would have given them a better life and did the right research. Now with my new hamster vanilla has a 576 square inch cage, 12 inch wheel, sand bath, 6-7 inches of bedding and overall much better care. Thank you for insuring that my new hamster is living its best life 🥺💖

My hamster used to have one of those critter trail cages. She bit on the bars when ever I was trying to sleep, and when I went on vacation for a day or two I found her under my bed shivering. Then I started watching your videos and I instantly bought her a larger cage.

My hamster just passed away, and I wanted to thank you for guiding me to be able to give him a good life. He was a sweet lil' guy, and I'll miss him, but at least I can sleep at night knowing that I did everything I could to make his life better. So, thank you. ❤

I let my past hamster run across my phone keyboard once, he hit the letter 'h' then the 'hamster' speech suggestion since I type it so much. I'm literally not even joking it was quite amazing lol!

[catsoda]

I love r/hamsters!! It's such a friendly community and helped me a lot in my early days of hamster care. There's the odd few strange posts, but I always try and help people with their care on there if I can.

8:08 that got me laughing so hard!!!! 😂 keep up the good work, tori lol

[Jxff._pfisterr]

I used to see hamster tiktoks ect and I always thought they were cute, but most hamsters I thought were being treated nicely with five blueberries a day were actually neglected and probably had diabetes, but thanks to you I educate other hamster owners and can tell right from wrong when taking care of a fuzzy friend <3 I planned on getting a syrian hamster because you've encouraged me so much. As a kid, I thought hamsters only needed water, food, an inch of bedding and a small cage, but now I know how I should treat my future syrian, I thank you greatly for going through trial and error as a hamster owner back in your days.

That wink 😉 made me burst out laughing haha! Love the video, it was a fun one to watch. 😆

My mum says I’m really lucky that my hamster doesn’t bite all the time but I’ve just tamed him thanks to your amazing videos

[yolenda_loves_to_sing]

I thought feeding your hamster KFC is ridiculous enough, but that hamster kidnapping story just blew my mind! :O

[OhGeeItsJen]

I got nervous when I saw this cause I followed /r/hamsters and /r/hamstercare and thought you were gonna filter the posts by top posts. I've since stopped following those subreddits as I'm taking a break from keeping a hamster but when I did I definitely told several people to check your videos out since you always give such excellent advice!
