I React to Kaytee's Hamster Care Guide! | Munchie's Place 

Let's have a moment of silence for the braincells we lost along the way. This was worse than expected, and I expected nothing. Thank you for still advocating for small pets! They're family and deserve nothing but the best life possible.

The only time I used cloth was to cover the carrier I was using to take my hamster to the vet or picking up from rescue to keep sunlight out of the carrier (make sure cloth is breathable material and does not completely cover all air holes, like draped loosely over handle). Don't use cloth over enclosures because you should keep them in a dimly lit, not bright area. Hamsters prefer dark or twilight. Thanks for showing us why most people are still confused about proper hamster care: most pet stores are promoting their money-making items ☹, not appropriately researched care.

I still dont get why hamsters are marketed to kids. You dont see them during the day, at night they might be loud (using wheels etc), they dont really like human interaction. My sister got pet rats when she was 12 and they were great. Loved to hang out with her. If a bit destructive tho

They are conflicting and contradictory statements lol! Love you Munchie!

I wonder why that cotton or bamboo nesting isn't off the market. A lot of their stuff is dangerous but they try to justify the "use" of the item. The cages "sometimes" keep the hamster inside, and robos can fit in the tubes, so they are trying to continue selling them despite the fact they are dangerous. But the nesting is useless and dangerous, and no pet owner or company can try to justify it, it's useless.

I’m so glad you’re back!!

I picked up a “hamster care” voucher from a pretty popular pet store one time and I cackled for a while because of the blatant misinformation, the contractions based on what they sell, and the vague language like “give your hamster lots of space” without specifying the minimum.

Great info! Also the snow leopard artwork is very nice!

One thing that would be good to include is hamsters NEED wheels. Minimum 8 inch for dwarves and minimum 10 inch for syrians(though I always recommend 10 inch for dwarves and 12 inch for syrians!)

Ok i need this content because I'm getting a hamster soon. I'm making a large bin cage. People online have been telling me 800 square inches or more so the requirements have gotten larger (or they just live somewhere with better care). But yeah, I'm watching all the hamster videos i can find.

i NEED your view on pets at home in the uk. after protests they stopped selling colorful cages and made them bigger. went around hyping themselves up saying they are the only 'humane' pet store.. except the cages are still too small!

I’m so glad you’re able to post again!

Thanks again ❤ keep the good work 😊

My last and only hamster had a c&c cage I built with seethrough plastic parts. 2 deep 4 wide and 2 high. He loved it to check around after I rearanged in there. changed his landscape, new hut etc

Woah, you're spoiling us

Hereee!

do you think you can make a video explaining the differences between the different types of hamsters, specifically dwarf hamsters and their different needs?

This should be an interesting video :3

It's infuriating that more companies don't make bigger cages. There is literally a market for it now.

my tip: its a family comitment.

Off topic but your hair is gorgeous

I have an attic, entrance is in the bathroom, I refuse to check it out, I've always had a fear of attics so yah. but most of people I've spoken too where I live say it's nothing special, just a bunch insulation.

Can PVC pipe be used with hamsters

9:38 contradicting

You should just know proper hamster care and adapt to what they specifically need. Like my hamster doesn't like being outside his cage even to play. So, just know your hamster.

That that’s horrible
