    For this Wednesday’s video I cleaned out my Robo dwarfs hamsters cage. I showed you how I clean out my hamster's cage, and me setting up her cage. You guys always ask me about horchata, she is doing great every day and I love her so much.
    Much love,

    Hi! Great job, I know sometimes we can’t get bigger tanks, but when you clean just remember to leave a little bit of the old bedding behind so that it smells like them! It makes it less stressful and they know it’s there home. Ily

      Full cleaning is very stressful for hamsters, studies have now shown. It should be spot cleaned every day, removing any soiled bedding, then only completely cleaned if the hamster is sick or dies and you’re getting a new hamster.

    If it's too nasty to put some old bedding in the new clean cage then I suggest cleaning a little more often. Because yes it does stress them out and it actually takes about 1 hour for their heart to calm down!

    Bin cages are super easy to create and budget friendly! I’m sure a bunch cage would fit on that dresser. The Sterilite 50 Gal stacker bin is a great size. Also the bigger the cage the more bedding you put in which then makes it smell waaayy less! The more you knowđŸ„° And yes leavening a handful or two spread out in the new bedding will make it less stressful for her. It does stress them out because the new bedding doesn’t smell like them. You’re doing a great job!

She runs on her wheel on Sunday off for up to 6 hrs and she plays,dogs burrows,chews her corn cop and toys,forages, takes a San bath,plays in her coconut dirt, eats etc. We don't force to do anything.

    Your hamster is a robo, which on the list of hamsters is one of the newest to be introduced to pet stores bc their breed hasn't been fully domesticated. Thats why they are more hyperactive and typically will bite more bc they haven't been fully tamed down yet like Syrians have. They can still be friendly, but they have more wild instincts :)

      @@person39 I am not uneducated. I do a lot of research and have kept rodents for years. I've rescued many rodents that were being kept with no enrichment and in tiny cages and have given them a better quality of life. So, I know my stuff when it comes to animal care. This girl is doing a good job. Is it perfect? No. But overall she is doing a good job. She isn't using one of those small pet store cages, of which many of the rodents I've rescued have been in when I've gotten them. Those cages were put right in the trash after I put them in their new enclosures. And she has a good size wheel for her hamster. She obviously cares about her hamser. Your name calling and non constructive comment were uncalled for. Maybe try being kind.

    It's my choice and my hamster so I can do what I want... No it's another living thing you took responsibility for. You knew when you got her that that was not the appropriate size. If she's attacking you when you go to interact then that is cage aggression it's more common in dwarfs and can be caused by feeling like they have insufficient space if she's doing it when she's accidentally spooked that's different. But either way it's not just a preference of how much space to give your hamster it's a choice of negligence as there are countless studies relating enclosure size to stress levels. 450 square inches is the minimum. Justifying improper care by saying it's better than PetSmart's/petcos is the same as them saying their care is acceptable because it's at least better than the rodent mills they purchased them from which stay in business from your business at those petstores instead of you adopting or getting from an ethical breeder. I get that I'm coming off rude but this is another life were talking about and while you're doing great in other areas you are planning on continuing this tradition of since it's small it's habitat can be small because that's what fits *my* needs despite not fitting the animal *living in it* needs. You can get thousands of different types of cages that will be big enough and it doesn't have to go on a desk or table it can go on your floor so long as it stays clean around it. finally you don't have to leave the filth down there taking a handful of just the bedding and transferring it over to the new will keep your hamster from stressing over the cleaning.

      I agree, it’s another living animal and the hamster/ any animal you buy should have the best life. People say “iTs mY pEt” which is true but your literally “abusing” it with not giving it the right size cage/tank. People need to learn responsibility with living creatures. It’s not a toy that you play with for a day and never use it again.

      I so agree.
      I do think she is trying her best in most areas, and I applaud her for it, she seems very knowledgeable too, (large wheel, safe bedding, multiple toys + hideouts, she knows to keep old bedding in the cage and knows that spot cleaning is less stressful, which I think is positively amazing) but rejecting a larger cage altogether on her own terms (because she doesn't have the space) is so neglectful.
      I personally have used 8 square feet in my room devoted to a large hamster cage. And it's not like everyone needs to do that, 450 square inches is 15 inches by 30 inches, it's not hard to squeeze somewhere.
      Saying that it's "your pet so you can do what you want with it" means that you'll have no problem if I abuse and completely neglect my dog "because she's mine" (btw this I an example, I care for my dog and would never do anything bad to her.)
      Like you said, this animal is a life, it's not about what you want, this is about what the animal needs.
      You can keep a dog in a small pen or crate all its life, feeding it and giving it toys to play with, but in the end, the animal is only surviving, not thriving.

    It is normal that she takes all her food at once. Most hamsters do that because that is what they do in the wild so other animals don’t take their food. Also I think you should feed her more often. Like maybe if you notice that she ate all her food. Wait for a few minutes. If she goes back to check for more it means she expects you to bring her food. Don’t worry it’s normal. You should be refilling your hamsters bowl about 3 times a week so they get all the nutrients they need.
