It’s the 10th July and if i remember correctly it’s your birthday! Happy birthday Malica! It’s been great to see your channel grow over the past two years, thank you for all of the pet care advise you’ve given me! 🎉💞 Edit: I didn’t realise you mentioned your birthday in the video 😂
Malica Hamilton No worries! Hope you have a good day and I am really hoping that Loki was still in Pets at home! I’m not sure if you saw my instagram comment but I asked whether you were going to change his name or not? Xx
emily brooke True true, I hope you get to come and look at our pet stores one day. They are good for the most part but I think all pet stores share 3 things in common and that’s selling unsafe wheels, bedding and cages that are too small.
@@malicahamilton You are stunning I have always thought that I can't believe anyone would say that ! Please don't let it get to you because it's not true ilysm
Helena Strickland sorry to only just hear about her passing xx did you get another one?!? And also what a lovely name for a hamster reminds me of lion king
Keira Fun yea I did I got a robo hamster and named her nugget since she’s the size of one and she got attacked by my cat when we went to kings dominion because my cousins left the cage open but she was ok I saved her but she does have seizures nala was named by her previous owner who had a few cats and the cat would always get her so I decided to take her and she lived her full 3 years it’s almost been a year since she died I miss her so much 🥺
Hanny Ham I was going to when I got to the till because there was no staff on the shop floor but I completely forgot about the treats until I started eating this video I got so distracted by Loki 😬 but yeah I got him on Wednesday ☺️ 💕
I always give the burgess nuggets to my gerbils. It’s the healthiest food for them because the Harry mix contains treats and food that are really fatty
Aww that’s amazing! It think every pets at home has a vets inside well the 4 I’ve been to have. I usually get my hamsters cremated there 💕 I recently posted a recent pets at home trip if you’re interested Natural Hamster Haul + Going To Pets At Home🌱✨ | 2022 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VSiBYz4GOnM.html

Aww your very kind thank you ! I’m so happy you enjoyed the video I have some exciting ones coming up next ! Charlie called up pets at home today and asked if Loki is still there and they said yes ! So tomorrow hopefully he’s still there and I will have a lovely birthday thank you x
I have been using Nature's feast as an add on for around 2 years, it is a great add on food and good composition. 👍 I am currently adding a few of these nuggets into my new Robo's diet. Not sure if Archie likes it yet tho. 😊 My Arabella who is the spit of your late Cupcake has red eyes and she is really sweet. 🤩
Thanks for the warning about the Tiny Friends Farm sand - I just rushed out of bed to get it out of my hamster’s cage 😬. What kind of sand would you recommend? Preferably something available from Pets at Home.
@@malicahamilton Thank you - my Pets at Home didn't have any reptile sand when I went last time, so fingers crossed they'll have some in when I go next lol.
I am a bit jealous cuz you have more access to hamster supplies than I do cuz here in south east asia alot of the stuff here are for cats and dogs and it's very rare to find a store that does have a decent amount of hamster supplies so alot of the time when I buy supplies I rely alot on online shopping
I don’t know why they don’t just sell them together 🙄 it would make life so much easier! I went to pets at home a few day’s ago and they didn’t even have any stands 😕 x
Hey Malica! Just wondering, what food mix do you use for your dwarfs? I've been looking but most people give information for hamster foods sold in the US, but I'm based in the UK. Thank you! 🖤🐾
Ok I know this is an old video but I'm just now watching it. You guys have so many more toys, treats and hides than we have in the US. Just as a future shop idea, I'd buy a mystery box with toys you find at the store (someone can order and then you buy stuff next time you're out for them). I'd loooove this. Just a thought. Sorry about picking up the ashes also. I had to do that this summer and it made my loss come flooding back.
Aww sorry to hear about your hamster 🙁🧡 I’ve done mystery boxes in the past but I’m now selling mostly natural items on my shop as of recently because I don’t really use many colourful items anymore ☺️🧡
I love your videos so so much, I watch with my hamster and sometimes my boy or girl guinea pigs. Your videos are very well edited, you deserve more followers. A note from a small youtuber
Just as a little tip from me, if you want your hamster to go through a full bowl of food (daily), i would not recommend using the hamster pellets as my hamsters do not eat them, these are the only thing they leave and i think they are too big for them, you guys may off had a different experience, but this is in may opinion 😉
I’ve never ever fed any of my hamsters on just pellets. That would be as bland as eating rice every day for your whole life so that’s why some hamsters don’t really eat them. I like to feed my hamsters on a musli mix I used to use the JR farm dwarf hamster harvest when I had hamsters and they all loved that. 😀 They would eat every single bit and I would also add in a few science selective pellets which they also loved and they are the perfect size for dwarfs. If you get a good dwarf hamster food the pellets are actually small so that they are able to pouch them.☺️ I would add in things such as oats , linseeds , freeze dried chicken etc as little add ons. I also fed fresh fruit and veg. Occasionally they would have a bit of rice or pasta too. My hamsters were on a very good diet and none of them were ever fussy. 😀 I didn’t feed my hamsters daily because they don’t need to eat an entire bowl every single day. If you fill the bowl every day they will just pouch all the good stuff and leave their least favourite which are often the pellets because they know you’re only going to fill up with bowl again. You need to feed dwarfs 1 tablespoon every second day I like to use a measuring spoon. 😋 Hamsters will also hoard food so if you look in their nest you will find a little food pile they also like to pouch a lot of it and you will often find them eating from their pouch. So if you watch and understand your hamsters behaviour you would know they don’t need a bowl full of food everyday because they are probably just taking it out the bowl and hiding it rather than eating it all. Another thing I often do is scatter feed rather than putting it into a dish because this also encourages natural enrichment and they also have to work for their food.☺️ I’ve had hamsters for 7 years so I’ve found a routine + foods that work for me. When I got Loki he was overweight and I was told he didn’t like exercise. In the pet store Loki was being fed the wrong food for a start. He was a greedy hamster and if you gave him more food than he needed he would probably eat more than he should. So with the correct portion control he actually went down to a healthy weight and he actually started using his wheel frequently and loved all the open space to run around which was something he never had before. ☺️💕
Malica Hamilton, thanks for this! X i meant i fill their bowl up every couple of days, once they look to have eaten it, and i have seen they both take their food in their pouches and hide it in their bed, we like to scatter food across the floor as well, they like the Harry hamster and the pets at home muesli mix x i have 2 Syrians (obviously not living together) one is a baby and one is an adult, there called Percival and Sirius, Sirius loves hiding and digging his food in his bedding!!
I don't think Sirius likes his wheel, but percy does!, we get Sirius out in the bathroom instead, its all caged up and there are no escape routes, we obviously watch him in there, i go in with him x and Percy has the bath with a towel down for his playpen x we make DIY playpens also x hamsters are our only proper family pets weve had x weve had : Elliott, Harvey, Snowee, Percy and Sirius x so weve had hamsters for about 5 years, i have stick insects also x percy is really tame and loves being handled, but Sirius is in training x PS : Percy says, hi Loki!
Hey Malica, happy birthday for tmrw it's cheered me up that you posted in my birthday xxxx could you do a video on how you film and edit your videos and how you created your website xxxxx
I used to use the pets at home woodshavings.. can’t believe they’re not safe! What woodshavings would you recommend for when i’m not using carefresh? Also i’ve tried the burgess nuggets, as have a few people in the hamster community, and our hamsters all hated them! He would eat everything and leave the nuggets 😂
Yeah same I had used it a few times in the past and yes carefresh is so expensive! It’s not even worth the money and the amount you actually get. I only buy the white one at Christmas because it looks like snow. I actually have a cage cleaning video coming up next I filmed it yesterday. I showed about 8 different substrates I like to use. Most of them are actually from the reptile section. Oh really 😂 oh no x
Malica Hamilton Ok thank you so much! I usually buy the carefresh £20 bag but recently i’ve been buying them and it is really dry.. and it stinks! 😂 If it’s that strong for my nose I can’t imagine what it smells like for little Reggie.. I’ve been thinking about buying a big bag of fitch from amazon but the 20kg bag has gone up from £20 to £36.. 😬
Lily omg no way ! That’s terrible 😬 I swear they must have changed something when they also changed their packaging because I remember earlier this year carefresh was no where to be seen for a little while! Fitch is supposed to be good 💕
Malica Hamilton I have tried fitch before and loved it! But it has gone up £16! I used to love carefresh as it was so soft and lovely, but in the past couple of years it has gone up in price and it is hard, dusty, and stinks.. Finding the right bedding is hard!😂
Lily That’s expensive! Everything good is going up or turning bad what’s going on ! Same I agree it’s so hard to find the right bedding I’m having the same struggles ! 😂
@@cristianetarter7363 same here! 😣😥 i wish it would hurry up 😩😬 I'm getting it around a week to the end or beginning of July! 😀 I'm so excited! Not sure what color they'll be or what gender but I do know I want a Syrian! I have al9t of names in mind one of them being Kiwi 😁😊 I love that name but I'm still looking for the perfect one 😥😉😏
@@cristianetarter7363 also, I would love to keep sorta in touch! 😀 if you want. We could text each other and talk about our new hammies! 😁🤗 I will be a first time owner so I may need help with some stuff 😰 I've done lots of research and I know what to expect but who knows what will happen! 😃🙂😕😔 I made a new discord server and it's called "HHH (Ham Ham Help)" 😂😺it's for anyone who needs help with there hamster problems or just want to talk about it! 😁🐭 discord.gg/mMz2yD This is the link if you want to join! 😀 if not I have hangouts! Gold. Goldengamer@gmail.com!! It's okay if you don't wanna join! I'm trying to get people on! If you join soon you'll be the first one 😁😅
I'm pretty sure they are safe.... I mean I have used them for 10+ years and I have never had a problem. Same with the bathing sand tbh, although obviously not as long. I remember reading about the woodshavings and I remember it saying that they are treated in a way so that they are safe, I think I read that on hamster central.
Malica Hamilton it’s kiln dried pine which is completely dust extracted so i believe it’s safe. If it’s untreated and not kiln dried then it’s unsafe x
Me and my sister are getting dwarf hamsters on Friday and I’m really excited! We’re getting winter white dwarf hamsters and we’re gonna use a ikea detolf cage. Is their any food you’d recommend? I’m not 100% sure on what food I need
I recommend only getting one from personal experience and horror stories I’ve heard if they will be housed together. Hybrid dwarfs don’t do well it’s pairs and they will attack and possible kill each other once they reach maturity. If you’re getting them from a breeder they are likely to be pure breeds there for will probably be happy living together. If not then one hamster pet cage is the best and safest option. As for food I used to feed the JR farm but It’s been discontinued. Another popular food was the burgess one but I think that might have also been discontinued. The erins ark food is apparently really good I have a bag but i haven’t opened it yet because I’m don’t have a hamster at the moment. Supreme science selective pellets are good to mix in with your food of choice 💕💕💕
Ok. Can I just say in the U.K they have better products then in the U.S. Also the animal care in the pet store for the hamsters being sold is better care.
Thank you for watching ☺️ I should be collecting him today ! I was going to complain when I saw it but the only person around was a lady at the till with a long line so I though I will mention it when I get to the till but I completely forgot because I got so distracted by Loki so I only remembered the treats when I started editing. But they were nasty though 🤢 x
Just wondering, when you adopt an animal from the adoption centre in Pets At Home, do you have to pay for them or are they free to a good home? Thanks x
I don’t recommend the nature’s touch food mix. My hamster was only eating the seeds and the little flowers and things and leaving all the grassy straw which was the majority of the mix and I realised she was starving herself because she hated the food so I had to feed her harry hamster because that’s all she liked but every hamster is different I suppose but my hamster did not like it at all.
Unfortunately p@h have been having trouble with those treats with the mold in, they seems to have moister in the treats making them a little softer but they go off. But....they should have been taken off and thrown in the bin hopefully they will notice them before someone buys it :/
Hey ! What are you feeding him ? Make sure he’s on a healthy good quality seed mix. Only feed him what he needs rather than filling up the entire dish. Don’t feed lots of treats and if you do make it something healthy. Ensure you hamster has a good wheel so it encourages them to use it. Also if you haven’t already try weighing your hamster to track their progress
Thanks you very much ! As I am only 11 lol I don’t know much and I have his cage which is basically it says large wire hamster home and btw he is a Syrian
Unfortunately that’s the downside to getting a pet the fact that they could pass away at any time. It’s something you do have to try and mentally prepare yourself for and it can be tough xx
I’m sorry about cashmere I wish here in us we have creamation because my friend has a hamster (her RU-vid: Hey Felicia! ( the one with the Sakura tree)) and her old hamster died so we buried her hamster and added flowers but the next day we checked, her hamsters body was gone and it was dugged up by what we think was a cat. Luv ur vids Malicia
No female hamsters go into what we call “heat” and the way you tell is by stroking the hamsters back to see if the tail lifts up then you know she is in heat I hope this helps btw I have hamsters of my own just to let you know s
