Mixing Hamster Species! | Craigslist Pet Ads | Munchie's Place 

8 years old hamster... My first thought: this family has hamsters for 8 years now and every time one dies, parents are secretly replacing it with a new one. The kid simply never cared enough to notice.

My mom had a hamster in college. She got it for $1 at a local pet store. Less than a month later it was sick, so she took it to the vet. The vet encouraged her to put it down, but she insisted on paying $200 for the surgery it needed. She went a several weeks without food to pay for it. The hamster lived for another year and a half.

I'm sorry because I know these are very serious but that "BANG BANG BANG" made me fall out laughing

Hamster:not social Guinea pig : social People:Let's get two hamsters together People: let's get one guinea pig

You inspired me to adopt a hamster instead of buying a hamie 💕 his name is bumble bee and lives now in a 40 gallon tank 🐝thank you for al you're great advice. Btw my uncle has a local pet store I gave him some advice about cages wheels etc and he even stop selling cotton fluff and whired wheels I'm really happy about that I'm sorry if my English is bad I'm from Europe and English isn't my first language 😂

Quite a few years ago my mom wanted to get me and my brother each our own hamster, we both picked Syrians but mine was quite larger than my brothers.when we went to check out my mom was told she didn’t need to buy two cages that’d she just be wasting money buying both of the cages and as long as they had their own hides, wheels , and bowls they could live together. Well needless to say the next day I woke up before everyone else to get ready for school and had found my hamster had killed and ripped apart my brothers hamster ( the spine and all was exposed).. I covered the cage and my mom took the whole thing back to the store very angry .. the lady working when my mom took the cage in said that she should of never been told to house two Syrians together and they pulled the footage from that day to see who was helping and if she really had intended to buy two cages.. it all came out that my mom was telling the truth .. she received a full refund for everything and they tried giving us another hamster but after it all .. just couldn’t bring ourselves to get another for awhile. I believe the employee was fired because I never saw him there again This was not a chain pet store but I’m not going to list the name because they truly are a amazing store that cares deeply about their animals and even takes In owner surrenders of reptiles, birds, and small animals . And they work with our local shelter and have only one or two cats brought over from the shelter and they adopt them out from the store . This was not a store issue more of a single employee spreading the wrong information. I fully support this store now that I’m a adult and I’ve seen them refuse to sell someone a animal multiple times because the person didn’t have the right knowledge or refused to buy the correct items Inorder to properly care for the animal .

This is off topic but I really like your bed sheet

I actually messaged the person re-homing the hamster with the cotton fluff since they are very close to me, about how it is unsafe and they never got back to me :(

I got my hamster my senior year of college (so a very busy time), and I still always made time to play with him at night and clean his cage every week. And now I am fostering a cat and her 4 newborn kittens and I still have time for him and my mouse. I wish people understood animals need and deserve your time every day and not get something they won’t have time for or care about enough. Thanks for making this video and bringing awareness to these kinds of mistakes!

This reminds me of the hamster I rescued when I was 15. The situation was even worse than any of these in in video. *Trigger warning: animal abuse * A friend of a friend bought 2 small hamsters (I don't know the english name for the species). Her mom didn't want her to have a pet so she had to hide them. She kept them in a transport box in her closet. They only had a food and a water bowl and nothing else. Her mom found out and she "had to get rid of them". (Her words) When I saw this I just took them with me. I never had had hamsters before but I had an empty cage that would fit. I made some phonecalls and rehomed one of the hamsters the next day. The story had a happy ending: Iread everything I could about hamster care and fell in love with owning hamsters.

Just adopted a robo hamster who was impulse bought by my friend for his girlfriend, long story short they broke up and the hamster ended up with someone who didn't want her. She's in my care now and I will give her a good life

Cant get over your hair its so pretty!

My favourite series!!! Please don't stop making these!

I’m rescuing a hamster soon in my area. The photos were so so bad, this poor Syrian in a tiny critter trail. STACKED with bedding no idea how the thing even moves... my families upset that im bringing another animal in the house but I’m going to rehome him to someone I trust. I just need to save this little guy :(

OMG I thought it was common sense to never put a male and female of any species together if one or both aren't sterilized UNLESS you're actually trying to breed them.

I'm so thankful my parents were willing to care for my gerbils, rabbit, and guinea pigs while I'm away at college. I got my rabbit during middle school then got my gerbils and guinea pigs during my freshmen year of high school, the five of them are my love and joy. I'm going towards a degree in Veterinary Technology and the school is in a very small town just an hour away so I stay on campus during the week and then commute back home for the weekends to change the bedding, clean their cages and spend time with them.

Wtf if I’m going to college, my hammy is coming with me. I’ll just get a travel things and when I get there I. An just go get a cheap bin. I refuse to leave my hammy behind. He brings me so much joy. We have so many staring contests, and even though he pees on me sometimes I still love him

I'm a senior in college right now and I have a two year old female Syrian hamster that I have had since she was around six weeks old. I still make time to pay with her and clean her cage. You got the pet knowing that you were going to go to college, if there is a doubt as to whether you will be able to care for it or not, then don't get the animal in the first place. I would never have once thought about getting rid of Bambi just because life got a little busy or stressful. I brought her into my home with the promise that she would live out her life with me.

When I was younger (around 8 years old) after my guinea pig died, I got a hamster. The saler of the pet store told to my mother that a hamster needed to be with another one, so he advised us to pick two males in order to don't get babies... 4-5 months later, one of them fought the other and killed him... After that, I think I never trust salers anymore in pet store xD And now, I got a rabbit, living without any cage, which is very rare in my country (France). I can't imagine there the reaction of a seller if I ask him in a pet store if a rabbit can live in a flat/house, without any cage xD

I love this series as it really opens peoples eyes to not IMPULSE BUY

Their going to bang! BANG BANG BANG

I live in Washington not far from that first ad you showed and I started laughing when I came across a couple weeks back. 8 years? Come on now.

I don't even have hamsters but I love watching ur videos cuz u care so much and are knowledgeable and it's so important for ppl to realize and be taught about all these kind of things

Been waiting for this my favorite series Kind of sad that people dont value hamsters as much as other pets I mean u wouldnt shove a cat in a cardboard box and say thats all the room u get

are those sphynx cats on your calendar in the background? i have two called rudy and george!

I had to research about hamsters for 2 years, and your channel has help me ALOT in my research and now I'm finaly getting a Robo dwarf hamster in 2 months! 🐹❤

Thank you for all the help!! Yesterday I adopted a hammy his name is now Hershey he lives in a 40 gallon tank. I was originally going to put him in a 20 gallon but then I did some research (from you) and realized I needed a 40 gallon. He is so happy and has so much space all because of you! So thank you so much for all the correct information.!! 😻😻 from Emma

Could you please make a video about why pets should not be given as Christmas gifts :)

I'm in University and I still make time for my hamster. He even manages to calm me down and the silent sounds of his cork wheel always put me to sleep even when I am really anxious. Yeah, I'm often out late, but in that case you just have to adjust your schedule a little bit. Fill up the water before you go, make sure he has food.. it's actually not that hard to do. And once I'm home, having my hamster in his outside area is the perfect way to end the day relaxed. It's not that big a deal, and I was studying law before and now Psychology. You just have to sit down and make a plan, then it will all fit. Even if I was also working parttime, still would have enough time for my hamster. because when I learn really late in the evening, aren't I mostly home anyway? Libraries close at some point, at least they do where I live. I don't get it. Most of the people I know have animals and they manage to fit them into their schedule just fine. One I know is working full time and studying, and she has a dwarf and is able to care for him just fine. I might understand that the college is very far away or that the costs of college, room and everything were higher than anticipated because of unlucky circumstances, or that you live with someone who doesn't want hamsters in their apartment and you don't have any other options etc. like, really desperate situations. But just no time? I dunno, don't wanna judge anybody, but that kinda sounds like they weren't even trying to fit the animal into their schedule, considering that hamsters are nocturnal and all that, and if that's the case, why did they buy the animal in the first place?

I'm in college, and am a proud mom to 3 different pets! All have cages way bigger than their species requires. I don't understand people saying they can't take care of their pets anymore because of college! I'm not sure if regulations are different in America, but where I'm from it's pretty normal for college students to be able to take care of a pet just fine! :)

Oh yes two robo's togther you might as well ring the bell for the fight to the death and they WILL. Hamsters MUST be sepretated!

I gave up on my dream college because of my pets, now I have a third dog, and I really have no chance of going unless I get my own home and can travel/ live off campus, I legit would cry and night thinking about leaving my pets for that long at a time, I love them. The only pets I’ve had to rehome were my chickens which were given to me by friends, they had a good heart and wanted to surprise me with pets since they know I love animals, but one of the chicks grew into a rooster and was growing and my neighbors complained :( other than that I strive for the best for my lil babies!

I love that you are so passionate and care this much About hamsters and love hamsters and I love that you are such a good owner !!!

I love this series. This makes me so mad. The 2 hamsters that are different species had 2 40 gallon tanks and ovo? That husbandry was awesome as far as the cage requirements, but it is so awful that no one had told them it’s not a good idea to keep hamsters together. I personally won’t even advise keeping dwarves together and I will even refuse a sale to anyone who comes into my work trying to put 2 together or has a cage that’s too small. I care for those hamsters like they’re all my hamsters and I refuse to let someone take them that’s not ready.

You are such a caring and compassionate person and I’m so glad people like you still care❤️❤️

The college excuse is so stupid to me.. I live in the UK and so when it came to UCAS (applying to university) my first thought was “is there anywhere near me that I like?” so that I wouldn’t be leaving my parents to look after my hamster and guinea pigs - which I would never want to do as I love my pets. The main reason I got them in the first place was to help with my anxiety as I grow up into adulthood and have some lovely little animals to give all my love to. Long story short, I have applied to places in my city or near it... So yea, dumb excuse! TLDR: If someone uses college or university as an excuse, they probably never cared about the pet in the first place 🤷🏻‍♀️

My parents bought me a Hamster for christmas this year. I’m a 21 y/o woman, who genuinely loves and enjoys animals and makes sure that my animals are taken care of and have the proper care. However, my parents bought that tiny tales cage and i fully wanted to scream. The next day, i bought my lil guy a 40 gallon tank and decked his cage out. Gifting hamsters isnt ideal. These guys arent objects. They’re living beings. If you end up buying a hamster from craigslist, DO YOUR RESEARCH. Poor lil hammies.

It’s really great that you are raising awareness about this subject. Whenever I tell people about this, they say pet care is subjective. It’s not subjective! Sometimes it is, but usually it’s not! Thanks so much for these amazing videos.

I applaud you for filming this and getting the message out there on how awful some hamsters suffer. Shame on those owners

I managed to convince one of my friends to get a bigger geribilaruim.

My last little hammy was a robo. I never could get her tamed but I still didn’t just dump her on someone else because of that. I kept her in a 40g breeder my dad has never used and she lived a full 2 years. She was a little cutie to say the least.

My teddy bear hamster lived for almost 4 years in his 4 story HUGE enclosure! He had his wheel and a little house, which he loved to sleep in and let his man parts hang out of the window. I was SO upset when he passed. Old age. This was back in 2003. Loved that little guy! Treat them well. They deserve it.

I have a HUGE problem with the listings where parents are listing a hamster (or any animal really) because thier child no longer has time or interest in the animal. I see this often with parents of young children and it angers me. It teaches them that these animals are disposable instead of teaching them the proper responsibility that comes with getting a pet. My young son does have a hamster but he has been taught that getting a pet isn't a responsibility that you can just pass along if it gets too hard or if the experience of owning the pet is somehow different than you thought it would be.

Most disturbing ad I've seen was a hamster being kept in a bowl marketed for beta fish (obviously too small for them too, it was maybe .8 gallons), but the fighting is very upsetting too

I've bumped into your channel today because I wanted to become more informed about hamsters since I really want to get one and it's amazing how passionate you look and how you do really love these animals! I wish there are more people like you out there!

I know the feeling. My current hamster is from someone at my mothers work who put 3 djungarian hamsters in a critter trail cage and was angry/confused when they fought. I’m annoyed just thinking about it.

You think people would see how short of a lifespan hamsters have and easily work around that so they don't have to re-home the poor things. I just got my first hamster yesterday, male Campbell's Russian dwarf. After watching a ton of your videos along with others and doing some research I decided he'd make a nice addition to the family. And boy does his grandpa love him! My dad keeps coming in when he can to check on the little dude, I decided on the name River for him. God forbid if I finish up college before his little life comes to an end my dad wouldn't let the little guy go. He's loved by all! And I'm looking forward to seeing little River live a happy healthy life in his bin cage (an idea from your videos). Here's to hoping all the little ones you rescue will eventually find good homes

So I ended up getting my husky (after EXTENSIVE research on the breed) from someone on Craigslist. We weren't positive that we wanted to get a husky from someone on Craigslist in the first place, but when we got to the home of the person rehoming our husky, we COULD NOT just leave him. He was living in their backyard, covered in fleas, ticks and mud. The man rehoming him told us that the wife would occasionally hit/kick at him, and this became apparent when our husky was scared of me for the first couple of weeks after we rehomed him. He was only $100. We've now had this husky for 2 years and he is thriving. He is a good boy and no longer scared of anyone.

I LOOOVED this video sooo much😆You explain everything so well😊❤Hehe me and my rabbit actually watched this together🐰xX I really hope many people learn from this amazing video😊❤And i really hope all the pets on the CL ads will go to nice, loving homes with the proper care😊 xx

I have had robos for a couple of years and my first 2 which were sisters that I adopted from a bad home they were terrified when I first got them but after a thew weeks they both seemed to want to sleep in my dressing gown and they would plank out and fall asleep it’s adorable they both have such a connection with me and my partner we love them to bits 😍

I recently got a hamster, and when we went to pick her up she was housed with her sibling. This was a petstore, and there was only one of everything. When she started fighting, I picked her straight away to brake up the fight and to finally give her everything she needs. She was on the wheel a lot, so I'm guessing that she wasn't able to go on it at the store because of her sibling. This channel has helped me a lot about the care for a hamster. Please, if you are considering adopting a hamster, watch munchie.

First. Love you munchie. If you see my comment please reply. Some peoples care is disgusting. Nice that you adress the horrible care.

I LOVE how you care about animals so much! I love your vids 🐢🐞🐠

I'm so happy I found your channel! I found your channel from the Prevue Pet Products 528 cage review. I ordered it online and was searching for a review and found you! I'm so glad I did! You teach others and I so much and you're such a good soul. Love you Munchie!!! Also, I snuck my hamster into college. Made a 50 gallon bin cage and brought it too college. I don't live far from school, so I'll bring her back and forth to her other cage when I go home. She seems happy with the company. I can't leave her on her own. She needs her company, interaction, treats and free time!

I’m in college and while I can’t currently take care of my pets due to being in a dorm, my family is caring for my cat and fish. Neither of us would get rid of any of our pets for stupid reasons. We even have a cat that keeps peeing on stuff and yet she’s still with us because we couldn’t bear for her to get hurt or put down at a shelter.

I was laughing so much when she said"if there's mold and a bug its not clean" just the way she said it made me just laugh and made me happy

When I first got rats my mom didn’t know they like to forage, and she’s always yell at me LOOK THERES NO FOOD WHY DONT YOU TAKE CARE OF THEM!! And we picked up one of their boxes and it was soooo heavy full of food we laughed soooo hard😂😂

Thank you for doing what you do I’ve been watching your videos the past couple of days and I’ve learned so much about hamsters and other small animals. I wish I found you sooner your so fun and interesting to watch.

This was so sad. Please God bless those people who posted to have better knowledge of these poor creatures!

I have school during the day and I have to go to sleep early but I’m dedicated to my hamster.

I rescued a Syrian hamster once. Her living conditions were so disgusting. Her cage was broken, her wheel was too small to even stand on and she had chewed through her bars. Because she’d chewed on the bars her nose was red raw and scabbed over. The only “chew” she had was a bendy bridge. She was one and a half when I got her and she’d never been held. We never could tame her because she was so terrified and had no physical contact. We improved her cage and her living standards as much as possible but she still wasn’t friendly, but she’d started to actually come out of her wooden house whenever someone walked into the room. Unfortunately she’s no longer with us, and we believe she was around three when she died. At least I made her life better for the last 18 months of her life. 💕

It annoyes me so much if people give away their pets because they dont get them tamed ... I have had my at the moment oldest budgie for more than 6 years and he is not tamed! The other three arent tamed either. And I also have a really shy cat that took long to bond with me. But I love them non the less. If somebody wants a pet to pet it or cuddle it then they should get a friendly dog or even better: A plush teddy bear!

When I first got Steve he was very.. Wild He screamed and once I poked him when I was a dumb 9 y/o trying to get him out of his tube and he bit me *hard* nonetheless I deserved it... After that I did more research and spent a lot more time with him. Now he’s really tame and very friendly! 😊 He is a year and a half old now!

Watching your vids made me check the size of cage i have for my syrian hamster (its actually a cage for a dwarf Rabbit) but its actually bigger than the minimum so im glad you always bring up how much room and things they really need so they can be happy and not stressed out

Your remarks on the 4 month hamster made me cringe because I relate so hard, I have a green cheek conure parrot I found on Offer-up and was sold to me at age 6 months, and this is a bird you can't sell until weaned at 3 months... so the original owner bought this bird from a store and had this bird for 3 months of its average 20 year lifespan before deciding they "don't have enough time and this bird deserves more attention" which damn right it did deserved more attention!!! This bird is a bundle of love and energy and has been such a JOY in my work-at-home life and I am looking forward to growing into my 50s with him

Omg, there is a few hamsters for sale on Craigslist where I live, and one has a cage so small all that's in it is a mushroom hide, and what looks to be a 4 inch wheel. And the other one all the hamster has is a food dish water bottle. And that one is in and TRAVEL CAGE!!! Without a wheel!!! And the last one is a Syrian who this person's daughter got a a WEEK ago!!! The poor hammy is in a tiny critter trail. The smallest I've ever seen! And the ad just says, aunt got my daughter a hamster for her birthday and she just stopped taking care of it.

That is horrible! And the last one broke my heart. It's like, they have the cage right. IT made me happy- then the fighting? That's horrible!!!! On the bright side, I found someone who had there ham in an Ikea detolf, and someone with a bin cage. 🙂

Sry im late i had a school thing but notif squad🤪 Also at first i thought these type of videos were just for views but when you explain it like that in the beginning rlly changes perspective

"That don't look like a he" has to my new favourite quote. XD

Is it weird that I love this series ?

I went to university. I had to move 12 hours away to attend it. I have three dogs, rats, mice, lizards, snakes and birds yet I am working and renting a house so I could keep them all on top of study. That is what it means to be a responsible pet owner. Getting rid of animals because you're moving or going to uni is a piss poor excuse.

First i want to share that you inspire me and I’m now rescuing 4 hamsters, 2 I’m adopting and 2 I’m re-homing (already found a home for one and it’s looking like I’ll find for the other one a home as well) so thank you munchie! From me and the 4 hamsters. Second I’ve heard that actually robos and dwarves can sometimes get along better than 2 of the same species so you might wanna read up on that, I haven’t looked too much into it as we don’t have robos here anyways so this information is not that relevant for me but I did come across it.. I’m not saying that’s ok to keep them together but that’s an information I came across and found it interesting...

Im so mad that college or uni can be considered an excuse. I'm an engineering student and I have an hedgehog and its a blessing. The cleaning/feeding/socializing is not a big deal. I can snuggle with her while studying. Since their nocturnal, I dont feel bad leaving her during the day and I can see her while I stay at night in my apartment. Shes wonderful for my anxiety. Studying is no excuse 20$/ month is nothing for all the love.

Something to note is that it's extremely common for hamsters to be given up and abandoned at pet shops. I got my Russian Dwarf hamster from my local Petco for free after he was given up by his owner. He was already tame, which was great, but he came in a critter trail and was incredibly stressed. I put him in a 10-gallon tank my friend gave me about a month previous with a new bottle and wheel before I could get a larger cage and he seemed so excited to get the extra room!

Yesterday I had an amazing experience at Petco. Like any store they sadly had 2 guineas in about a 10 gal tank and hammies in even smaller without chews BUT there was an employee who knew EVERYTHING about small pets. She had a self made cage for her animals that was large i assume. She was always called over to small animals bc of her knowledge and never tried to sell crittertrails, cotton fluff or wire wheels. She would nudge her Petco to make small change for the animals and some were made. I talked to her for 20min and was happy she worked there. PS: there was a poor bored syrain that looked so helpless that he had his head on the ground and the rest of his body on the saucer. It was funny but so sad that he was that DONE with his cage

Because of these videos I decided to rescue my newest hammy love, Sir Hawk, instead of buying. He is such a sweet boy. I’m not planning to EVER buy another hammy. Adopt don’t shop supporter!

You are so amazing! I’m doing what your doing, advocating animal care! As a community we will come together and stop this!❤️

I'm a college student and I three femal gerbils and I brought them with me to my small house. Everytime I travel back to my mom's place they travel with me in a transport box. Seeing people using college as an excuse get rid of small pets makes me quite sad :/

I used to breed Guinea Pigs and they are very similar to hamsters. At my local shop there was a bright pink castle for guinea pigs. I bought it and tried it out on one of my babies they barely could move around. One of my friends had a hamster and she tried out her dwarf hamie, the poor thing got stuck and I had to stick my fingers up a floor to save her. I would never suggest getting 'giant' hamster cages for Guinea pigs.

I completely agree with the beginning of this video. my syrian was taken back to the shop for being “aggressive” (he was in the adoption section) I took him right away and it was the easiest thing ever to tame him, he has never bitten me ever. barnaby is my sweet little boy and out of my five animals he is the nicest. I’m so glad I took him in :)

Theres a pet shop near me and they adopt guinea pigs rabbits ect and then sell them and give 80% of the profits to the rescue centers and the cages are massive theyre thr size of a double bed and they arent over crowed its amazing

Hey Munchie ! I have one four year old male Guinea pig I’ve had for about three years. I got him and his brother from a lady that couldn’t take of them properly (small cage, Unclipped nails, dirty fur, and obese) over the course of three years I fixed them up. Started with a hutch but the wood rotted so I got the XL Living World Cage. A few months ago Albus (previously ‘Snickers’) my calico crested got sick and lethargic and it was too late at night to take him to the vet. He was put in towels and blankets and at around 3 am that morning he passed. It was out of the blue. My other boy which I still have named Severus (previously Oreo) was taken to the vet in the morning and had a minor respiratory infection, I gave him meds for about a month and he is fine now. Severus is living alone CURRENTLY. He is a black and white shot hair with a orange smudge on his forehead (only indication he was related to my other one). I’m taking him on Christmas vacation to Michigan and I have talked to my mom about getting him a baby boy to bond with. She seems persuaded but it would be great if you can add your saying to this comment! The baby will stay in my room away from Severus for a week and a half so I can monitor him. Then I will divide the cage in half for two weeks, and then I’ll put them in a neutral area to meet face to face (I will scatter food around the area) I will appreciate any comments to the subject. Wonderful video !

I was in the car with my 80-year-old mother and we were watching your video when you said they're going to bang, bang bang bang. And we laughed so freaking hard that was awesome 😁😂🤣😭

I am a proud mom of a Syrian hamster, a winter white dwarf, a pair of Russian Campbell’s, and three female mice. They all have 105 quart bins and love life!! The three mice were going to be snake food, and all my hamsters were either rescues or Craiglist hamsters, and I got so mad when I see poor things like this. Animals really deserve better...

Donkeys and Mules are the same way. We got 2 donkeys from a person who used them to clean out other animals paddock’s. THIS IS NOT WHAT DONKEYS ARE USED FOR!!! This is what goats, sheep, and cows are for. Even then, this isn’t good for them. When we got them, Monty (our smallest donkey) was extremely squirmy and reminded me of our Guinea Pigs. Eeyore is our larger one, and he warmed up to me the fastest. Eeyore cape sick, and both of them were extremely overweight. Their fur was falling out, and when I brushed Eeyore (Monty wouldn’t let me brush him) clumps came off, and it was clear that they we not handled much. Monty has scars on his snout and a chunk out of his ear. It was sickening. They are doing much better now, and these were our first large farm animals.

Our class hamster gave birth to EIGHT babies and no one knew she was pregnant. (Not even Petsmart) She is currently at Petsmart with her babies and will return without her babies in three weeks.

The best way to "tame" anything, give treats while you're holding them... That's what I've always done. They will learn to associate your hand with treats and some have even jumped on me themselves for snacks

There going to bang *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* I’m sorry but I’m wheezing

Once in Petsmart I saw a cage for a Guinea pig, and it says 'Perfect for one guinea pig! And in Switzerland it is illegal to have only one guinea pig because they get lonely. What is wrong with all the pet stores!

YES!! my fave series ever!

15:38 lol it's so hard to tame robos, my hamster Norrin will never be very tame. When I kind of figured out he would never be the friendliest hamster sure I was a bit disappointed but that is no reason to rehome one. If they had done their research they shouldn't have gotten a robo if taming was such a high priority. Even though Norrin isn't very tame (I can pet him and hand him food though so he's actually come pretty far) he's such a joy to just watch and he's my little fluffy son and I love him more than anything.

Congratulations on being my new favourite binge watch series!

Not a hamster but I ended rehoming mu doh after 2 years. Her separation anxiety when I was at work was so bad that she broke most of her teeth destroying stuff. I ended up giving her to a good friend's mother who works from home. Her separation anxiety is far better now and I still get to see her. I didn't want to rehome her but it was ultimately best for her

Love your stitch blanket ❤ hehe

There’s really no excuse for these people. I completed college and got a puppy while also working full time. Now I have finished a masters with a dog, a hamster and two full aquariums. It doesn’t take much to make your animals feel safe and loved.

I actually waited until college and adjusting to my apartment to adopt my campbell russian dwarf hamster, Captain; my roommate is never there and i love when he keeps me company as i study late into the night. Also, did my research & bought him a bin cage & silent spinner so save your money and make your own cage; cost me $17 for about a 16 x 24 x 14 bin with diy popsicle platforms and wire mesh. He’s so happy with all his space.

I’m in middle school so I wouldn’t be worried about being too busy! The biggest problem would be vacations, but many people jump at the opportunity to take care of a fluff nugget. Eh, not worried too much.

It really annoys me when people take the wheels out. I remember when I was about 6 or 7 and i had my second chinese dwarf hamster, the wheels my parents got were so noisy. You could hear them from upstairs. (They didnt get silent ones because I have discovered as I've grown older and started to take care of animals by myself they dont do much research and probably didnt even know they existed.) But everytime my dad would want to take it out I stopped him. Because even my little child mind could make a connection between "my hamster uses wheel the lot." Therefore "Hammy would not be happy without wheel." I get it can be annoying but I dont see how grown adults cant make the connection I did when I was literally 6.

Aatleast 50 people keep denying the true fact that small and dirty cages are not good AND IF PEOPLE DONT PUT A WHEEL IN THEIR CAGE THEN THATS TORTURE!!!

I have 2 hamsters right now and I’m in college. I’m a full time student but before I leave to school I make sure they have fresh water and that they have enough food until I get back. It’s about making time for them, because time is always there, it’s just how you manage it.
