  • I had a hamster. She had one black eye and one red eye, and was white and gold in colour.

    She died a few years back, and how she died is a really sad story.

    She used to go for daily runs in the evening around my room, and someone left the door open. She escaped and got trapped in the airing cupboard. For five days we had to listen to her squeal herself to death. I've always hated my parents for not lifting up the floor boards, because they said doing so may have brought the ceiling down.

  • The forgot to mention these pets are nocturnal - They'll kep you awake knawing on their cage or spinning their wheel all night.

  • my hamster is like a piranha. end of story

  • Next: Pets 101- Rats?

  • My first hamster was a syrian and she was the quite the ecsape artist! She even took a food supply with her on one of her trips and camped out in the sofa base and my dog sniffed her out and that was how we found her :L

    She lived until she was 4 and a bit :)

    My dwarf hamster that i have now is almost 4 :)

  • It's worth pointing out that Syrian hamsters don't live together in pairs, unlike Chinese/Dwarf hamsters and two kept together of the same sex will fight.

  • My sister had a hamster named Rhonda. Lol she got away so many times it was irritating

  • my hamsert, whos name was, belive it or not, spongebob, died when he was 3

  • i had 3 hamsters i got from pet land, they said they all were males, but one gave birth to SEVEN little hammies. and their mother was a great escape artist, got away 4 times, but the father was more like a rock than an escape artist.

  • Comment removed

  • 3 years ago when I was 13 my hamster die :( he live 1 year and a few month. I bury him in my front yard

  • I had one for two days when I was little. He was a mean little fucker. He bit me twice and there's even a little scar on my left ring finger from him. :(

  • I love hamsters so much. Espicially Syrian hamsters.

  • I love Hamsters. Mine escaped all the time.

  • FUCK hamsters why do they always bite???

  • 6 year old kid did I hear right

  • my hamster has one ear and its so cute when he sticks them up :3

  • I have 6 hamsters right now xD

  • lol im watching this on my laptop and smosh on my ipadXDD

  • @baybaby121

    me too! except i'm watching it on my iPod touch. I think that Smosh should make a video about hamsters even though they made one about a drunk guinea pig.

  • I had a hamster pair and they gave birth to over 30 babies

  • I had a Russian Dwarf for about 2 years, and he was the greatest pet I ever had :')

  • lol mine lived 4 yrs

  • i had a hamster and i lived 3 years 39 weeks and 2 days

  • I'm sitting with my Syrian or Teddy Bear Hamster right now. She is very similar to the one at 1:50 but not identical. Her name is Penny! <3

  • I bought a male hamster Siberian hamster and 2 weeks later I had 6. Needless to say the male was a pregnant female and had 5 pups. She ate 2 of them. 3 months later she died with a bloated stomach. Probably an ulcer or tumor. She had one black pup and two sandy colors which one was a micro. We still have then today. The black one developed an Eye ulcer almost pushing it outta his head. Treated it correctly an now it's back to normal size and has turned pure white. So he's black coat

  • My hamster always goes to the top of her house and stands on her hind legs when she hears my voice. And she follows my hand everywhere, never bites, and loves being held. She is scared of my cat tho ;) of course.

  • my hamster sleeps all day and only comes out like 2 or 3 times to eat, but at night, she's either running on her wheel or trying to escape.and her cage is REALLY big and it has lots of toys in it.

  • @RoscoTheRat Don't recall her saying that it was a daytime animal to be fair. Just that it wasn't nocturnal - which it isn't. They're crepuscular, not nocturnal, and that's all she was ever arguing if you look back at the comments. Unless you wanna point out what exactly she said which was wrong?

  • @RoscoTheRat You just quoted something quite clearly saying hamsters are crepuscular, and then said, "so they come out at night".

    Definition of crepuscular: appearing or active in twilight.

    Definition of twilight: the period of time between daylight and darkness.

    By agreeing they're crepuscular, you're agreeing they're not nocturnal. Can't be both.

  • @Wolfgang42m Not quite. Hamsters are desert animals. Being nocturnal would mean they only leave their burrows at night - the problem with this would be that during the nights in a desert, especially in winter, the temperature can drop to below freezing. You put a hamster in those sorts of conditions and see how long they survive. They leave early in the morning and late in the day to go out during a time when the temperature won't kill them.

  • they forgot to say that the syrain hamster and a few other types should be housed alone or they will fight non-stop. I had them all my life, I just got my first campbells and am please to have done so, it and the White are two of the hamster breeds who can live with its family. Do not post hate at me as I see many of you people doing here, my spelling is not the greatest so why pick on me for it? or anyone for that matter really? I try and keep my hamster awake during the day doesn't work!

  • @RoscoTheRat It's a common misconception that they're nocturnal. Not going to get into it because I really couldn't care less, but know you're wrong and making a fool of yourself by suggesting otherwise. Hun.

  • @PeterGotBored and where did you get the info from? wikipedia?

  • Yes, I just got hamsters and they are totally awesome. I love them. Check out my vids to learn more!!!

  • @michshell531 they are pretty easy to care for.. If 1 was the easiest they would be a 4. But you will need to have money if you want to spoil them like I do.

  • @michshell531 Hamsters are good pets, they don't bite at least I have never had one bite me. They are fun, the bad thing is they only live about 2 years. They don't always like cage mates and can attack and kill each other. Rats are also a great pet to have. Rats are smarter than most if not all dogs. they can be litter trained. They can even be trained to do tricks. They are extremely clean animals. They are extremely loving pets.

  • i dont have hamsters...

  • Come check out a hamster train for the Hamster Derby & watch his first skateboard lesson!

  • my cousin had a two hamsters and when they had babies he gave me one. turns out the one he gave me had something wrong in this brain (vet told me) and it was a little.... lets just say a bit off.

  • im scared to hold my hamster. im afraid it will bite me :( any help here? 

  • @superstephanie101 we'll pick it up. If it bites you, don't pick it up again. ;P

  • i had a hamster but he got away and we bought another one and another one but it turns out that the pet shop trained them to escape their cages :(

  • @michshell531 2. Worst part is cleaning it's cage and finding it if it gets loose. Other than that they're nothing but fun, unless you don't treat them well.

  • i had a hamster that lived for 2 and a half years.

  • I'm getting a hamster todayyyy!! :D

  • I had a hamster. It was a bit annoying to clean the cage but other than that it was nice.

  • i had a hamster for 3 days then it died it was a fun 3 days though

  • Your childhood isn't complete without ever owning a hamster. I had 8 of them :D

  • *Cheddar not Chedsar

  • I used to hae a hamster named Chedsar but he ran away and ge died cuz a snake ate him:,(

  • <3 Hamtaro~

  • Best animal you can have if you ask me <3

  • can u use a glass tank instead of a cage

  • @MultiBloodbros sure.. just be sure to put mineral bars for them to chew on.. because a hamster's incisor's growth are constant

  • @skywalker91 well a friend had one about 4years .-.

  • A robovoski hamster soooo bad

  • 3-5 years?

    I've barely heard of any hamster who lived beyond the age of three.

    2-3 is more normal...

  • i had a hamster when i was a kid, he was a little asshole

  • Because they live 3-5 years, if you get close to them, it's awful when they die. My hamster, Pickles, was awesome till he died almost 2 years ago D:

  • I had a hamster and a loud wheel... Didn't sleep that much.

  • Do I need to get hamster stuff and get a hamster on different days? Or can I get them both at the same time?

  • The like button on this is programmed so it doesn't work don't believe me try it

  • I got here from a Snooki video. LOL.

  • they're not nocturnal

  • @DoMiNiKaaaaaaaaaaaaa they are

  • @TheNevFilms Google it

  • @DoMiNiKaaaaaaaaaaaaa Yes they are. O.o

  • @RoscoTheRat No they are no. Google it.

  • @DoMiNiKaaaaaaaaaaaaa Hun, they are.... they are "pray" animals, and small ones at that. That means they prefer the night because it is safer for them. Many small rodents are nocturnal.

    Not going to get into it, because I really could careless, but know you are wrong.

  • @RoscoTheRat "It is generally accepted in the mistaken belief, that hamsters are also nocturnal creatures. However, hamsters' are in fact crepuscular animals. "

  • @DoMiNiKaaaaaaaaaaaaa "Hamsters are crepuscular animals which burrow underground in the daylight to avoid being caught by predators". So they come out at night... hmm, what is that called? -_-

  • @RoscoTheRat Third word. CREPUSCULAR animals.

  • @DoMiNiKaaaaaaaaaaaaa Which means we are both wrong. You aren't too bright, are you?

    Ps, they still come out at night. ;)

  • @RoscoTheRat You poor pathetically stupid person....They are not active all through the night. Therefore they are NOT nocturnal. We weren't both wrong. You were wrong. Now I have better things to be doing than correcting uneducated fools such as yourself.

  • @DoMiNiKaaaaaaaaaaaaa Y u mad, bro? cause you were wrong too. CREPUSCULAR does not mean a nighttime or daytime animal, so in fact we are both wrong. Lol and you called me dumb? Get over it, you are what 15? why does it matter anyways?

    God this is too funny.

  • @DoMiNiKaaaaaaaaaaaaa yes they are. go to any vet or pet store and ask them

  • @DoMiNiKaaaaaaaaaaaaa they are -.-, most rodants are nocturnal to avoid predators

  • @Wolfgang42m erhh...no. "Hamsters are crepuscular animals which burrow underground in the daylight to avoid being caught by predators"

  • I watched this with oreo

  • Thumbs up if you watched this with your hamster

  • Awww, I want to go hug my NuggNuggs (Nugget)!!

  • My Hamster died and on that day i swear not to love anything ever again....

  • @Annakate207 put on oven mitts or fold ip some dish towels. I know it sounds kinda stupid but it really helped me pick up my hamster without getting bitten.

  • i want a bunny but my mo won't let me :/ think ill have to convince her to get me a hamster now

  • My hamster watched this and stepped on the iPod so i think he likes ice cream

  • there pee smells really bad that why i like rabbit cause there smart enough not to pee on you like my rabbit does but i cant lie there darn cute and wuold like one

  • I used 2 have a hamster who was named Ralph ( mouse and the motorcycle). He was brown with a white belly and white patches and shiny black eyes. He cleaned his fur about like every 5 minutes. He escaped monthly. He died a couple years ago of old age he was balding and walked very slowly. He was 2. We buried him in our front yard, under a tree. He was a good hamster.

  • I need help! Im trying to convince my mom to get me one. Ive done a lot of reasearch on the things they need and there health conditions. Any advice?

  • @BloggerTutorialerXD Just keep at it, not enough to make your mom mad though. (i'm sort of going through this too) Keep saying what you'll do, how you'll do it. explain everything thoroughly, Try to make compromises. Most importantly, even if you don't get one, its better then not doing anything at all. So to try and make your mother understand the pros of having a hamster. Hopefully your mother will understand.

  • Hamsters make me shudder

  • I LOVE hamsters I have one named hammie i got him last month he is a robo hamster he is so CUTE:)!!!!!!!!

  • Love my teddy bear hammies <3 I also tried to light an LED light with the running energy from a hammie I used to have..didn't work out so well.

  • Thumbs up if you had a hamster at least one time during your childhood.

  • personally, I don't like hamsters all that much. I'm a rat lover, though!

  • They must be talking about some other hamsters (than i've had). Everyone told me that they'd live a year or two. I've had hamsters my whole life, and i took very very very good care of them. They ended up living like two years and 1-12 days. Rats can live 3-4 years, mayyyybee 5. But i've never heard of a hamster living more than two or so years. Their wonderful pets though...Best part of my childhood :}

  • How dare you call a hamster pointless!?!?!?

    I have a Teddy Bear hamster that just turned 2 last week! (wich is like 20 in hamster years).

  • Hamsters are so pointless...take it for a walk?

  • ROAR!! THAT CUTE FACE IS KILLING ME!!!

  • My friend is a huge hamster lover which I would not expect-- she is OBSESSED with them, I love it. She once had one that got out and was in the walls somewhere, she was so determined to find it that after we hit the wall with a hammer a few dozen times we finally found it. What an interesting experience... lmao.

  • I missed my hamsters so much <3 ):

  • I have a hamster his name is Buttercup and he has a teeny hole in his ear... I think he was born that way :(

  • I had a hamster that lived five years. He had lived through two cases of wet tail. I can't believe he died of old age. By the time he did die, he was balding, partially blind, and wobbling as he walked.

  • @Aviarmew why did he get wet tail twice

  • @zeeet Beyond me. And the intervals he got it was at least a year apart.

  • I had a hamster I miss her you never bit me before she was a well train hamster her name was pixie I was 7 years old then && now I want a hamster again but that's going to be hard because I'm older :( && I have a little brother who's 2 years old.

  • ive had four hamsters, two died for wet tail. and the other two from tumors

  • I remember when we first got our first pair of hamsters. The people at the shop said they were both female. And then we ended with seven babies! Sooo cute! We gave most of them away and kept two. Sadly, all of them have since passed on, but they were very sweet. <3

  • Who cares if they only live 3-5 years? They can be some of the best pets ever! Love your hamsters! They need it! Don't be so negative!

  • i have 50 babies...

  • my hammy died yesterday, Nov 24. he had everything he needed. I don't know what caused his death :'( he might've had a diesase or something. he was behaving extrangley for the last couple of days and yesterday morning I found him dead. I'm so, very sad :'( I loved him very much. he was only 5 months old.

  • I had a hamster once. I must've accidently left the cage a tiny bit open because when I went to go and check on it the morning one day it was gone. I never saw it gain. :P

  • I don't really see a point in getting one and getting attached to it when Its just guna die in  3 short years... But thats just me. I'd rather have a pet that my kids can grow up with n_n

  • the tags look ominous...

  • They should've mentioned Hamtaro in this. XD

  • i had a hamster who couldn't drink from the bottle thing, so we had to get hime a little bow. My hamster after that used the bowl after we cleaned it as a "pool"

  • 2:03 in shape hamster !!

  • Awwww I miss my hamster!! RIP sweetheart -3

  • @6FaceDrak 3 years is pretty big. And 3 years isn't the max. Depends on how long you take care of it. I had my Teddy Bear hamster for 5 years.

  • Thumbs up if u hav a hammy that is hyper!

  • Just to clarify, 'hamsterballs' are not tools used to abuse hamsters. It really does depends on whether your hamster likes it or not, some does some doesn't. How do you know whether your hammy likes it or not? Never force em' into the ball as I alwys allow my hammy to choose whether or not she wants a go into the ball. Usually she loves it and will climb into it but sometimes, she doesn't. Every hamster is different that is.

  • i know this is hard to bielive, Whether you think it is real or not, My hamster had 3 legs. My cat got in the cage and broke her leg. Then the vet cut of the leg and she lived. The 3 months later she died :(

  • i'll get 2 girls or two boys cause if i get a girl and boy soon i;ll get 20 boys and girls

  • My hamsters never used the bathroom in one spot?? they went ALL over the cage. So hard to clean :/

  • Okay so my first hamster died after a couple of days but I was in grade one so eh... Then I got another one and that hamster lived for a long time she was a Syrian. My first one was a dwarf. Then my third one, syrian she was real naughty. Then she died after one day. So far I loved my second hamster I remember keeping her in my cage and me and my brother making a house out of Lego for her and putting her in my dollhouse and playing with her... I miss her so much!!!

  • they only live 3 fucking years???? why get one??

  • Comment removed

  • @6FaceDrak

    Cause they need homes. And its actually a long time. I've had mine 7 months and its seems like a long time.

  • @6FaceDrak they live 3 years if there LUCKY.My first one died of a stroke and my brother killed my second one by squeezing it a lot and feeding it human food (its the cake that did him in)

  • @6FaceDrak Sometimes they live 5 years! i have a friend who's hamster lived 5 years..

  • @6FaceDrak They live 1-4 yrs. Why get one? Sure, they live short, but that doesn't mean they're not good companions.

  • I want a hamster! (:
