- So... this is the story of how we brought home a new family member from the adoption section of Pets at Home! She is settling in okay and will take food from our hands, we haven't tried handling her yet and are building trust. P@H had her listed as a male but she is definitely female, leave name suggestions in the comments section and help me get that song out of my head!! More videos on her soon including setting up her new enclosure xx

Excellent owner buying a detolf for your new hamster! She looks a real sweetie.
Thank you, I've had them before for hammies and they're by far my favourite. I can't go back to a shop bought cage after having the Detolf, you realise how much they enjoy the space. I hope she's going to be happy in it :) We aren't at the handling stage with her yet and I'm giving her time but she's eating out of my hand now and seems pretty gentle
What is a Detolf?
i know it's cool
hello theSmallPetShop😀😀😀
@@lelo3385 they’re not the best tbh, they don’t provide as much space as people think
Holly or ivy seeing as it near Christmas,beautiful little hamster.
I have 2 russian dwarf hamsters cslled pip and squek but they are ib separate cages. And aslo. Im doin my work experience in pets at home ❤️❤️❤️
CVX Ultra wtf she can name them whatever she wants!
CVX Ultra I love ma hamsters. And I don’t think it matters what there names are so why don’t you stfu
nO nO sQuArE bro u wanna fade with my cousin cause he will drop u on yo shi so stfu or u finna regret it when u on the ground
Morgan Campbell how about to talk shi with me then with yo big ahh forehead
Sacha CZcams oh shut it
A Christmassy name for a Christmas hamster.. Noelle?
I’m a Noelle.
I like holly too
I’m glad that they do a health check there, I live in the US and I was in the dark about Hamster Health until I did research and call vets, etc.
This is the pets at home that I go to lol
I have a 6month old Syrian ham called custard cream and she’s so cute
Custard Cream The Hamster that’s such an adorable name. hope she’s doing well 💖💖💖
Omg call her eggnog she’s got that little bit of a yellow milky colour which is sooo cute!
I know this video was about you getting a hamster but honestly the part with Blue was the best part😹
Same!
What a sweet story :) ...and really, anybody who does not ride the cart at IKEA obviously has not lived!
I am so envious of that pet store, it seems that in the US it is just about dogs and cats. They get most of the store and then birds, fish, reptiles.... and the smallest amount goes to bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice etc. who get one measly aisle that is crammed with cages and bedding. The amount of toys is so small that the word amount is really a misnomer.
I'd say chancey like the Pokémon
I’m so excited that you chose the IKEA detour!
your hamster is adorable! cute ear markings!
I got my hamster at pets at home and he was my love at first sight! I loved him even though I didn't ;like red eyed hamsters.Then I realised red eyed hamsters aren't bad because of their eyes. And the woman gave me two cardboard boxes incase he would try to escape. Now he is so adorable ad has grewn too much! he's a dwarf hamster and my baby!
Aww! I love that he changed your mind about red eyed hams! Sometimes we just get an amazing connection with animals ❤️ I hope he has a long happy life with you x
You guys have an amazing pet shop 😍
I have two dwarf hamsters in two big bin cages x there so playful and entertaining 😂❤️
Loved this video x
Thank you so much ☺️ x
same with me! I was all like:"I'll just look at the rescue website around me for future reference, ju-ju-just to see what kinds they have! I won't be getting a second one until much later.."
a few hours later I contacted the rescue and a week later I took Mick home.
But he just stole my heart, there was nothing I could do! He had been born and been raised at the rescue, the only one left together with his brother, Gregg. Nobody wanted the two redeyed baby and the foster lady told me she had given up hope of any of the two ever finding a forever home, she was really sad but at the same time very happy. So now I have 2 hamsters 😂
aaand, I would suggest Silver or Starry maybe, because she looks like a star to me 😎✨
Awww!! It sounds like he was lucky that you decided to contact the rescue, he sounds like a character
@@BeckysAnimals yeah, he is! it turns out he is a grumpy old gramps on the inside, always complains if someone makes noise after he has just woken up and will waddle around just complaining to himself for about half an hour, even while eating. After eating and drinking he normally stops :'D I get him though, I'm the same in the morning.
Awesome that is just great I just had a little bit more bedding like a lot
I have both cages you bought. One is a temporary cage for when I go away
lmao at the way blue's looking at you.. side eyeing you with suspiscion
Their cages look a lot better then my pet shop!!!!
Yesss we love educated people buying hamsters big cages!
that pets at home is massive 😩
Ivy, mochi, noelle, cream
I think the majority of the adoption centre hamsters in pets at home are just the ones that haven’t been bought yet and are too old to sell in the main bit and some are from ones that get returned 🦋
Its not, my friend works there and she works at the adoption part and the animals have to fight or get returned to be there
Aww
How does the adoption process work in pets at home? How much did you donate? Just wondering as I am planning to adopt one after Christmas xx
Hiya! Pets at home have a seperate section for their adoption animals, it's pretty much the same process as buying one from them but the money goes to charity. They will ask a couple of questions about what set-up you have, if you have any other pets and take your details so they can give you a call after a couple of days to see how they are settling in. Then they should do a basic health check to see that they are okay to leave and give you some tips on health issues such as wet tail. The adoption fee is a minimum donation of £8 for a hammie :) That's so exciting, good luck with the adoption xx
Marshmallow
I got the detolffffffff yayyy
I have degus that I adopted from pets at home, they never showed me how to check there health nor did they mention it. Luckily I already knew how to from having other rodents and from doing my research.
I’d name her Bijou from the cartoon Hamtaro!
Chris, ive, reef, nutmeg, pudding or noelle! :D
i love your video im gonna get 2 hampers to
Butterscotch
Ikea what cage?
@@bryony3117 Thanks alot for providing me with all the information above thats very helpful. It looks amazing and seems to have plenty of space for a the hamster Ill be getting myself one now. Thanks Bryony Banks
I am getting a male long haired Syrian soon. The name will be Coco. I saw him at the pet store and fell in love 🤣.
Aww! He sounds adorable! Good luck with your new hammie
sam
Snow because she is white or ivy, because she is not too nice and it's close to Christmas.
Luv ur channel
Thank you so much 🥰
Hi
Hi I'm getting a hamster for my birthday in November. We already have everything we need except the hidey house and chews which haven't arrived yet. I'm getting my hamster from pets at home cause my mum won't let me adopt. How do you even like have an employee let you buy the hamster?????
I’m from the uk
leamon
Twinkle? Pudding? Holly?
TWINKLE IS CUTE
The IKEA u went to is near where I live I go to that one all the time in Bristol 🤣
Your soo lucky your pets at home has everything ! X my local one barely has much
Unfortunately this isn't the one near where I live, my local one is tiny. It doesn't have the same variety as this one and only has a couple of rescue animals in at a time but I like that they don't have a high turnover of animals, not good for filming though haha :)
TheSmallPetShop what one did you go to?
Carriers aren't that experience my was £6 and it just for cleaning
It would have been cheaper to buy a carrier than the cage but I already have several carriers at home so I didn't really want to waste money on another one that won't be used whereas the cage I am planning on keeping as a travel cage :)
Piper
Millie
I got hamster it name Carlito.
We also mked a song: MAKING MY WAY DOWNTOWN, WITH CARLITO WE GONNA FIND HIS DAD MARLITO.
can you handle her yet?? how is she? is she tame? i'm thinking of getting one tomorrow, have wanted one for years, just worried about the taming process, i want them to love me ahahah x
Maddy Collins I know I’m a bit late haha x the lady said she was only aggressive because she was in cages with other hamsters and they were fighting most Syrians come tame, if not you can look up how to tame a hamster and hamsters sometimes nibble on your fingers when they’re not sure, if your hamster nibbles you don’t make any sudden movements like pulling ur hand out of the cage really fast and saying ouch it will scare the hamster x
why dump the ikea detolf though? :o was something wrong with it?
Call her Flo it suits her so much!!!!
Pixie or Poppy
Omg this is the pets at home that I go to!! Is it in bath?
This one is in Cheltenham so not that far away ☺️
TheSmallPetShop thanks so much for replying Xx
You’re very welcome 😊 Thank you for watching ❤️
How is the hamster and what did you call her?
How much was he/she? I might be getting one but as of lockdown I can’t go out to see how much they are!💗
probs around £12
❤️🐹⭐️⭐️⭐️

I got my hamster from there 2 months ago I wanted a girl but there was no girls in the adoption section
Ive bought all my hamsters from pets at home being great animals haven’t had issue with them
I watched half of this before realising the sound was broken
Oh no, it shouldn’t be broken. It sounds okay my end 🤷♀️😔
@@BeckysAnimals Yeah for some reason my phone didn't want to play the audio
That's my pets at home
Cool I have 3 syrian hamsters 🤩❤️ oh man you guys have so cool stuff.. In my country yoh don't find the stuff you guys have there in the pet shops.. And not all kids lose interest in their pets my 4 years old sister and me never did in these years.. And in my country the pets hops are really good, my aunt works there at one and they do their best fir thw hamsters..some pet shops are bad, some are good.. Cool video ❤️😜
I really want a Ikea detolf cage but sadly Ikea doesn’t exist in the country that I lived in. :(
This is in ENGLAND I’ve been there
So? Englands a country. The accent is very recognizable. Sorry if that sounded rude😄😄🤗🤗
What about Misty , or Vanilla?? You could call her that !
My friend bought a “baby syrian“ hamster from pets at home and 1 year later its a winter white hamster
Snowy
Vanilla
where is it located? which city is it?
Where is what located? The P@H was in Cheltenham and IKEA was in Bristol.
Poppy is a cute name
Do u know the cage u had the Hamster
Is that large enough cos I’m wondering to get a cage like that
No unless its 450 squarw inches of floor space its a bit snall
@@lsturgeonify that's only in the USA. In the UK it has to be 80 cm x 50cm as the minimum size for a hamster and syrians should have more. So no the grey cage she had her in near the start (not the Ikea one) was not big enough as a perminant cage :)
I have a hamster and named him gingernut
Tony Carney I named my first hamster gingernut xx
I have never seen a lama give a person a dirty look but that one looked at you like you were crazy 🤣🤣🤣
mochiiii
THATS THE SAME PETS AT HOME WERE I GOT MY HAMSTER
Same! Is it in north west London? Not gonna say exactly where but yeah.
Is this the pets at home in Cheltman?! Next to “next”
Yes it is! :)
TheSmallPetShop cool! I go there a lot of the time!!
Actually so glad I found this video because I might be getting a Syrian hamster and I am warthog a bunch of videos to educate myself and I paused it and i was sryian hamster £10 yaya
Maybe missy or misty
Kkhh
You could call her snowball
Gigi name suggestion
Omg I never knew you lived in bristol like me 😂
Same lol. I live near bristol tho it's only like 10 mins away from my house.
Snowball
You found me
Thank you for leaking the prices so I know how much everything I’m getting will cost
No problem, the prices may have changed slightly since making this video but hopefully it gives you a rough idea 😊
I want to live in ikea
Can I move in too? I’m gutted I don’t have one closer to me 😔
@@BeckysAnimals Yess it's massive and their premade rooms are perfect. My closest is about 2 hours away though
That moment when your the 1000 like 😳😋
How much is a hamster I’m getting one
It depends where you get one. I have mostly brought mine home from the adoption section of pets shops, they are a donation of around £12 from Pets at home or I adopt from websites like gumtree or preloved. If you live in the US I know some pet shops have adoption hamsters for free or people sometimes adopt from Craigslist.
Caoo
Snowflake would be a cute name or winter
You should name her poppy
a panda bear hamster is not a real thing some people just say fancy names so they can earn more money
So true, some pet shops and breeders make up all kinds of names for the same species 😆
I am getting a hamster
I had to skip through the whole video to find what hamsters!😂lol
Haha understandable, hamsters are much better than my ramblings 😆
I am getting two hamsters
That's so exciting! What species are you getting?
A Roboroski
How is your tortoise enyoy your videos.
She's doing really well thank you
I wonder why pet stores keep animals in the wrong types of enclosures 😨 and tell people to use it wow
