Hamster Dos & Don'ts

While many assume because hamsters are considered "beginner pets" they should be fairly easy to care for.... but are they? Today we talk about the Dos and Don'ts of owning a hamster!

I love how she doesn't bash anyone but instead tells them why it's wrong and some alternative options to what they're doing

It's incredibly how the animal shops know NOTHING of this. I was never told to have a sand bath or enough depthness for it to burrow. Very happy I found your account <3

I was at Petsmart today, and the employee I was speaking with was upset with me because I wanted to buy a tank for a hamster. She felt that a hamster should not be placed in a tank with deep bedding, but a cage so that they get proper ventilation through the sides. She thought I would be a terrible hamster owner for sure. I’m glad that I've been doing proper research by watching your videos.

I don’t even own a hamster so I don’t know why I’m watching this lol but thank you for taking such great care of yours and educating others on how to give their hamster their best life 🥰

My hamster died yesterday, and I just want to thank you for all your help and support. You are the best, promise you that.

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how cute Lenny is in the thumbnail? HE LOOKS LIKE A TINY TINY BABY BEAR! I love his little floofs!

Someone is offering 2 hamsters for free, and I came to YouTube to research the do’s and Don’ts. I want to make sure I understand what I am getting into😂.


You are a fantastic teacher. Thank you 🙏🏾

love this!!! I'm 72 and a lot has changed now that my granddaughter is going to be a hamster-parent!!!
thank you so much!!

I love how Victoria takes the time to educate us about what’s good for you and your hammie. But tbh I never knew that they could chew of their limb.

I'm so glad you mentioned all hamsters prefer to be alone and while dwarf hamsters can live together, all hamsters are happiest when alone! So glad to see Isabella again as well!

I had 3 hampsters when I was a kid and to learn that basically everything we did was terribly incorrect is pretty heartbreaking. I had no idea that things like climbing on the bars were signs of stress and that you should only have 1 hampster per enclosure... well at the very least when I get a new hampster they will have a significantly better life. Thank you so much for your content, I feel like small rodents are some of the most widely misunderstood pets, even worse than some reptiles. At least reptiles are mostly self explanatory so people generally know what to expect.

Watching this made me cry so much... 😭😭😭 . I've showed my parents all of your hamster videos, and everytime I used a bin cage and added 6 inches of bedding, I always get shouted at .... and I was scolded and grounded . I've told 'em that if we can't take care of him anymore, I suggested we rehome him but I just got another bad answers and my parents didn't support my decision . I hope my parents will realize the dos and don'ts of hamsters by watching this video . Thanks for making it, Victoria ! ❤🥺🥺❤

I don't know why I have become so obsessed with your videos, since I don't own a hamster and probably never will.... but.... I love your hamster facts. Also your eye makeup is incredible.

[ssofulz]

I never knew that the climbing and biting on a cage was a stress response. My hamster does it all the time and we thought she was just doing tricks. I just ordered her a bigger and better home that was kind of like the one you have. It should be here in a few days. We asked the people at the pet store about it and they had just said that meant she wanted to play. Thank you for informing me about this.

[GingerIndiana]

I have had 10 hamsters in my life (not together...) and everything you say makes so much sense. Excellent advices in your video!

[bouncyb]

My Hamster passed away earlier this year, a week after her 2nd birthday, but I want to thank you so much for your videos on hamsters, they helped me give my hamster the best life possible and i’m sure they help a ton of other hamster owners too ❤️

The pressure of being early and not knowing what to say, also I love you Victoria!

Im really happy you made this video. I'm currently in college and wanting to take on the responsibility of taking on a first pet of my own. This video made me realize that I don't think owning a hamster is right for me. It was so educational . Thank you for helping me along in my research .
