    Aspen is back in her enclosure! She got put back on September 2nd And has been really happy with it! I apologize I repeat a lot of the same words in the video 😂 for some reason when I film I have this habit of once I say one word or sentence I tend to keep reusing it. I’m also sorry there wasn’t a Wednesday video! I’m currently trying to figure out my life so I’ve been thinking about many things!

    I now feel a real sense of guilt for a hamster I owned when I was a kid. We are talking 30 years ago. We had the worst cage for her and she chronically chewed on her bars. I always thought she was doing it to file her teeth down…now it’s most likely from stress of being in such an awful cage. Ugh…that’s a hard feeling to take on. I’m so sorry Hammy, you deserved better.

      @@Halinawithani Your parents probably will not allow you to get a sick hamster :// exotic vets are expensive. If you want a hamster I suggest choosing a healthy one, since the stress of moving plus being sickly may just speed up the death of the sick hamster. It's sad but true. I would also suggest taking pictures of any inhumane conditions and then report the store to animal rescues such as RSPCA, etc.
      If you see the same hamster again in that store & they don't seem too bad you could perhaps take a picture and post about it on social media to find someone in your area to try and rescue the hamster. Just remember that every hamster that leaves a pet shop is just opening up a slot for a new one to come in :(

When we were bringing her to the car and I was holding the cage I didn’t see it but my finger was by one of the holes that is used for themy to breathe through the cage and she nipped me.

    I so agree and appreciate what you are saying. I read up about hamsters when my daughter wanted one for her birthday. There was an interesting study with results that show that hamsters with inadequate housing with minimal bedding and only a wheel...are “depressed” compared to hamsters with stimulating and interesting, appropriate sized housing- who continued to show a willingness to try new things. I try to do seasonal enhancements, as a little pumpkin in the fall, a cardboard box full of tissues, a new natural item...just try to keep it interesting.

    Thank-you for this video. We have a couple months old Russian Dwarf Hamster in an aquarium. I got bit today because I thought he was being affectionate and then I got bit. So I'll be leaving him alone unless he needs food and water. He forages well, burrows even better, loves all the thing in his enclosure and he's naturally curious and has many places to hide. These videos have helped me a great deal to guide my son who is a first time hamster owner.

    Hi Victoria, I have been commenting every day to tell you about my animals. I said to my father, "can I have a robo dwarf hamster in a cage as big as the bonnet of your car and with bedding as deep as the length of my long 2 foot hair?" and all he said was, "Well you do have three Guinea pigs soon to be six, a giant rabbit, a dog and a chicken so maybe?" I went in the house and in my head I was like *I'm going to get a hamster* I told him that they aren't *QUITE* as much work as my rabbit and herd of guinea pigs, and it could live in my bedroom. He just replied again with, "Maybe, I mean I'm unsure."🐹💕😋
