Syrian or Golden Hamster Care : Syrian or Golden Hamster Cages & Shelter

[MsSchool132]

Oh sure cover the brand name on the bedding

[rikoshan]

guys if u all hate her then just dont watch the video

[beastandbeautiful123]

@hermiesquishydance, no I dont think so, because even though the hamster is still smaller, hamsters in nature run around many kilometers in a night. There they cant do that...

[Leashh8227]

i love how shes trying to sound like a true expert but there are many things wrong with this..

- theres a dog in a tiny box behind her

-that hamsters cage is on the small side

-and shes just a bitch overall :)

[MaffMaffMaffii]

I HATE THIS AWFUL WOMAN

[TheWorldOfJames]

does that say FREE HAMSTER? yes please!

[hueyfreeman300]

newspaper is harmful to hamster when wet by urine the ink can trigger a alergic reaction duh

[dare0321]

You don't need special burrowing bedding for the hamsters. I shredded newspaper and my hamsters liked it just fine.

[koopakun17]

I find it funny how they put duck tape over the carefresh bedding bag

[shallyshallow08]

what an awful petshop i predict it will run out of businesss, or closed by the inspector in less than a month, so sad how they treat animals

[TwoMuskateers]

All the info is wrong and she has HUGE glasses. Lol

[Eleness82]

''''"Expert'''" village my ass.....

[TheNikiflame]

omg the cages they have the dogs in r WAY to SMALL for any dog but its really to small for that boxer pup

[egyptiancow101]

@expertvillage quit dishing out good things about petland we know its a bad place to buy animals and a bad place for them to live. I can't believe my hamster from there is still alive

[ammywolf101]

i want a free hamster @ 0:03 - 0:21

[beastandbeautiful123]

My cage is 7 times as big as that! MY OPINION: That cage is fricking small! Thats animal cruelty!

[HamsterLover136]

wait . that cage is freakin small !!! it really cant fit any dwarf hamster . That cage cant be for syrian hamster !! that cage obviously suitable for RATS . since they are freakin small . im gonna have a hamster & this what you told me . tank is way better . That bedding is really not good . i used it last time for my dwarf hamster & my hamster eat & bite it so it died . at least i learned my lesson . your at a pet store , not an animal hospital . if its animal hospital , u should not be sellin

[TheNikiflame]

@HamsterLover136 not being rude or nothin but i think you mean the cage is for mice rats r bigger than hamsters

[5566Trish]

there is no expert about this village...you's know sod all about any animals you's talk about.

[ILoveHamsters28]

This cage is not evan sutible for a dwarf hamster! 

[gnarfje]

This woman doesn't have a clue as to what she is talking about!!! This cage is not suitable for ANY animal (unless it's a stuffed animal)!!! Because those creatures you can keep in an enclosure of this size, such as shrimps, fleas or amoeba's, will be able to escape through te bars without too much trouble.

[schitza21]

BestHamsterCages...com great selection of cages

[ALXDO1]

Animal hospital??? I think this lady has no idea about what hamsters need. This cage is much to small!!!

[Halo2loverboy]

Is it normal for old hamsters to develop a sagging skin sort of bubble on the neck?

[JAGGL113]

Did anyone else notice the dog in a tiny cage in the background

[iiEatYourSoul]

@JAGGL113

That should be considered abuse. Poor dog was trying to get out. :(

[MaffMaffMaffii]

@JAGGL113 that's so cruel, isn't it...:(

[sexkittenliz]

@JAGGL113 thank god theres no puppies or kittens in pet shops in ireland

[cellur111]

that cage she has there is even to small for a dwarf lol..

[darbug01]

Don't get that cage. I had that and my hamster was like, always on his wheel, praying it'll let him actually move around there. I have a 15 gallon tank, now. their WAY better.

[kashroyal]

never get a regular hamster cage for a syrian, they are always to small, the best thing to get is a rat cage that have small spaces for bars, the sizes are perfect :3

[georgeman21222]

the cage is too small .. the suggested bedding is not good for them as they can dry up the mouth and get stuck in there mouths .....suffocating them .... cedar chips are ok ... if there are kiln dried ... other than that i would strongly reccomend aspen as it has no smells for the hamster to inhale...natural bedding is good too... wood chips arent good but there not as bad as she makes it sound... lets remember these anilams live in the wild i think they know what there doing

[glennzoo]

she does prove she only knows about dogs

The cage is way too small

[LigeiaMorrowind]

WTF oO

THIS should be a cage for a hamster?! oO

[pepperminttea42]

That cage is tiny! Nowhere near big enough for even a dwarf hamster.

[Orkneygal0100]

GRRRRRR! i jst accidentally clicked on this video and now all of the options at the side are bout expertvillage! no offence 2 them but i really dont like them!!!

[RandomMultiLives]

That is not an suitable cage for a hamster, these people need stop making video about hamster care, they know nothing about hamsters and their needs

[OMGCybr]

0:01 - Click to skip ad.

[xshawtyx24]

Yeah, u had a cage like this. It was bad, it may look like it has room, but once you add things to it. it is quite small.

[TheJuzMii]

which is better syrian or dwarf? 9im talkin bout hamsters :P)

[georgeman21222]

@TheJuzMii dwarfs are too much to handle ... syrians are more friendly and hanlde well

[sugarbooger93]

@georgeman21222 i disagree. i've had many different types of hamsters and dwarfs are by far the easiest. they stay small, hardly ever bite, don't chew at things, are quiet but energetic. i don't know. they're the friendliest i've ever had. i actually had one and 3 months later bought another one because i liked them so much.

[a7madzaen111]

that hamster form my country

Syria ^_^

[kawaiikiwi3173]

"If your hamster tries to bite you, stick it's head underwater for a few seconds. We here at Petland believe that drowning your pet can train them to better your relationship. If the pet gets sick, completely drown them and buy more from us!"

[picjaaa13]

for syrian 60x35x35 

[MiaRockstar1]

@SyrianHamsterLuv I know right!

[davampstaxoxo]

Petland buys and sells puppymill puppies. Fuck petland.

[Foxlightt]

@davampstaxoxo : Right on (: Petland can go to hell.

[hannahfan9871]

the dog in the back is priceless

[EatableCat]

OMG I saw that the hamster were FREEE man why cant petland be in NEW MEXICO

[vechi123]

How big does a syrian hamster cage have to be? can some one give me some measurements please? and are round cages good?

[thegreek32]

@vechi123 well if ur a first time owner a 10 gallon tank or if ur not a a first time owner get a 15 gallon tank

[fuaath]

people complaining abt the size of the dog's cage, tbh it is really sad but compared to those dogs and animals that are in china going thru all the cruelty (google china animal cruelty) this is much better..

[oliver21berlin]

this cage is much to small.

i expect from an expert to be more sophisticated...

[SugarySweetness13]

Ha, that's Carefresh bedding, right?!

[dizzydiana]

i know hamsters are small...i've looked after syrian/golden hamsters for 7 years but that cage is too small. like most pets they like space to move/run/play...they can't do that in there. :|

[HaMmytheha]

look how many vids guy made

[happysaz133]

That cage is far too small for any animal, you should not be advertising it!!!

[TheLb09]

is a syrian hamster the one thats gold and white well ginger n white ? can sum one plz respond to tell me

[AnimalFreak111]

Scuse me, @imygurl305 if u have a syrian hammy u shudnt put it in a tank cos they like to swing and climb on teh bars but if u have a dwarf hammy tat shudnt be a prob.

[happysaz133]

@AnimalFreak111 Actually not all syrian's like to swing on bars. None of mine ever have.

[GuideToHamsters]

That cage you showed isn't suitable for a hamster... I am surprised an animal HEALTH technician didn't know that.

[KatHilie1996]

I think the cage is too small. Cages for hamster shouldn't also contain plastik.

[imygurl305]

i have a tank cuz i cant stand the noise that they make with bar cages. its constant nibbling noise that drives me insane..

[skyandtay]

@imygurl305 If you put lemon on the bars, it stops them biting them apparently, but I've not tried it myself Xx

[PinkOrchestra]

I use Aspen Bedding which is great for hamsters.

[SoFearless555]

I love all these hamster videos. But I am getting another hamster very soon. This time I wanted to get a tank. But I cant seem to find any good size tanks that are suitable for hamsters.

[Pinto6Apploosa]

@SoFearless555, tanks aren't good for air ventilation in terms of small rodents. ):

[ruthlittle12]

dont get a tank cage, they aren't good. and NEVER get a tank cage for a Syrian hamster.

[MegaParakeet]

@ruthlittle12 why? Im planing to get one

[JiggilyBits]

if you get a second hamster they will fight and one may die, Hamsters are Solitary animals and get stressed if they are with another one.

[MlleThao]

I have the same cage as the one she showed in the video but my hamster keeps biting on the bars...i just got her about four days ago...is that normal?! i can't get her to stop biting the cage at all...what should i do?

[wwjdlaslo]

you should try putting a chew tick in the cage,

2) or u can take her oput of her cage, he may be jut bored

3) or, you can keep her buy in her cage by rearanging the stuff, makeing different floor levels out of cardboard, and hiding fresh food in different hiding spots

4 years of hammy experience

wwjdlaslo

xoxoxoxo

best of luck :]

[HAMSTERLOVER10123]

do u have a salt lick thingy? coz i asked pets at home and they said it's wearing down it's teeth which may have grown too large.

[anqi1998]

it means that she'd bored, before the same happened to mine, them i added some toys and tunnels, and Waffles(my hamster) was constantly playing in his cage

[MlleThao]

yeah...i'll probably go and get her some of those...but she is more of an excercise freak...she LOVES to run in her annoying wheel...and she's weird...she ate some of her litter...LOL...i hope thats ok?!

[anqi1998]

um I think ur hammy is sick

[MlleThao]

LOL...she'll be ok...she hasn't been feeling like herself lately because she came into contact her first time with a dog...and yeah...

[ruthlittle12]

when hamsters are very new,(a few days from moving) if that is right it is normal, if not take her to the vets!!

[ruthlittle12]

its nornale dont worry, it is just they are trying to bring down their teeth. You can get wooden blocks or mini bites from the local pet shop.

[smilezz316]

pine and cedar bedding is really bad for hamsters.......she forgot to say that

[animatorswearbras]

That cage was too small for a syrian, this is stupid advice. If you want to know how to take proper care of a hamster check out specialist forums.

Don't take advice from a women who gives you advice whilst in the background a puppy slowly goes mental in a small plastic box. You should always expect to see a puppy with it's mother so you can gauge the well being and temprement of the dog. This puppy was probably factory farmed.

Always research a pet stores ethics before buying any pet.

[greendayhieu]

lolz that dog was having a seizure in da background xD

[joeblowthehot]

look at those puppies in the back..OMG!!

[number5studios]

that is so stupid and wrong, i have been using wood shavings or chips for all my hamsters and they are fine, besides the recycled newspaper stuff is expensive and comes in small amounts, its much better, and the ceder chips are recomended.

[SpitFir3Tornado]

ur an idiot all your hamsters probably had respiratory infections and cedar chips and NOT reccomended for that reason.

[caprisun619]

instead of wood chuks or whatever you can also use like napkins they chew it up and use it as bedding

[livilovesriding]

you shouldn't put newspaper in a hamster cage.

[animalCOP76]

@livilovesriding why not ?

[livilovesriding]

cos its dangerous for them.

[animalCOP76]

but how ? my Hamsters and rats lived their Full life span well i was using New papers sheprds i even bred Hamsters

using their bedding as News paer sherds

[CheezSalad]

Pooor dog he looks so sad in that cage he can barely move. :( Pletland should get them bigger cages. Like I saw at Petco the cats had big cages with scrath posts, all 5 or 6 times the size of that dog's cage! And the cages where connected! And there where 3 cages, so around 25 times the size of that poor dog's cage! They also had like 3 cats. Those poor puppys.

[grace123p]

@CheezSalad ikr? those dogs r bettr off n a puppy mill gosh btw my petco is exactly like d 1 u go 2 :D

[groo737]

@CheezSalad its a pet hospital, if they have a big cage they can hurt their injurys.

[joyannaroof]

@CheezSalad hi im joy thats just a look at cage so that ppl can see him/her during the day yes it should be bigger but when the petland is closed he/she is more than likely in a much bigger place

[Aoscaden]

Even though everyone is complaining that the dog's pen is too small, but look at him..

He's jumping around and seems happy enough.

It's not like he's gonna be locked in there his entire life, just til he's taken home, gosh.

[xTheHamsterHideawayx]

so true. its a pet store! if they bought HUGE cages for all of their animals, they would go bankrupt!

[Halogurl42]

oh my gosh porr dog its too big for that small cage. If you work here lady you should put a bigger on in there poor dog.

[shasha8227]

omg, looks at that small ass cage , ! damn bitch get a life hoe

[DopeyD4vid]

Them dogs are cramped atleast give them a run ,

[tigerztigerztigerz]

In the background, Look how little space they have, icolated!

[azurea80]

the cage is toooooooo small for any hamster. In germany they are not even sold!

[mrthepieguy]

i got 2 russian dwarfs yesterday and theyre sooo cute theyre called mojo and bean. a really good cage is the rotastak adventure zone altough may have to be adapted for dwarfs

[oOBeepx3Oo]

OMFG the dog in the background :O

[Forza2Cars4You]

thts sad

[oOBeepx3Oo]

is the cage big enough for an adult syrian hamster ??

[MissAnnoymous]

not particulary ! get the biggest cage possible. Hamster have shown physcological problems if kept in a too small cage x

[clubpenguin87622]

So what is it that you have to use to put on the botton of the cage?

[24GeorgeMichaelFan24]

carefresh bedding. NEVER use wooden shavings

[livilovesriding]

@24GeorgeMichaelFan24 umm u can use wooden shavings. that is what most ppl use for their substrate in a hamster cage. but i also give my hamster bedding material. ive never heard of never using wood shavings but i have heard of not using newspaper.

[picojames01]

use yesterday's news its rad and doesn't stink as much

[animalCOP76]

i don't understand how its bad to use newspapper shavings ?

[TheAnimalcare13]

its bad to put newspapper in cage because the ink that is on the news paper is bad if they eat it.

[animalCOP76]

what are the chances of that happening ?

hamsters are pretty smart little Animals.they have to smell something that smells good,and belive me a newpaper dosen't smell.

[SpitFir3Tornado]

it has ink and chemicals in it

[animalCOP76]

but yet the pet store people still use it

Thats crazy shit.

witch bedding is good ?

Carfresh ?

[SpitFir3Tornado]

carefresh and aspen are the best

[animalCOP76]

aspen is shit for dwarf hamsters.

carfresh is so expensive.

[jo5o]

were DO YOU GET HAMSTER LIKE SYRIAN

[hittingice]

Shall we give the hamster red wine or white whine on Fridays?

[smallanimalhelp]

Careful stinkykonaman- corn cob can turn moldy fast so it isn't usually the best option for bedding. The edible houses and couches that you are referring to are most often made out of pine shavings which we know can cause liver and respiratory issues so it is best to steer clear of these products.

[Snailpoyero]

does the area were the cage is smell alot

[hamsterball360]

who saw the dog dancing in the background!! LOL look closer when the

woman is talking

[iloveyewv]

carefresh pet bedding is the best way to go:DD

been using it for my hamster for like a year now and so far i havent had ANY problems:}

[PinkChick890]

Which is the best type of bedding you can buy for a hamster? i heard that carefresh is pretty good,but im still not sure.....

[shortballerz]

Thanks Expert Village first you taught me how to draw circles now this CONGRATS i even made a video making fun of that circle video

[shortballerz]

hahaha as she is saying use recycled newspaper product in the background someone is using wood shavings in the cages behind

[shortballerz]

that was probably the stupidest thing i have ever seen, all that crap was common sense, uh yah their gonna need bedding, NAH REALLY, how bout you tell me how to actually take care of them

[blade1473]

my hamster always choose on the bars and i give her sawdust for flooring can u tell me any tips to watch out for.

[le0121]

saw dust can give them respiratory problems- so does pine. you should get aspen

[blade1473]

i think its ok to put sawdust in it though

[tomemogurl]

i was feeding my hamster the other day and when i feed her i find it is a good time to check her teeth and it looked like her bottom teeth were loose is that normal?

please get back to me asap

[blade1473]

if your cage has bars and your hamster chews them its normal.

[stinkykonaman]

yes it is normal but it is VERY BAD, it can give them nom normal groth on there teeth and it can chip there teeth and give them brain damage, the best thing to do is to get them something els to chew on instead, like a dry corn cob, edible house/couch.

[catterpillarhippo]

dude theres dogs in cages !!!!!!!!!!

[mikibunny303911]

My hamster esaped for five days with only a bag of treats left on the floor and she made a nest our of used tissues (my room is a pig sty) So I would say longer than five days but get a neighbor or someone to check up on it :)

[emzypel]

they are the same thing its just a diffrent name

[emzypel]

u cant tell if its going to bite unless u have already bought it. trust me i know my hammy looked as calm as anything but she bites and she is utterly CRAZY

[vauliuo]

you can leave it alone for up to 4-5 days if you give it extra food and change it's bedding before you leave

[smethwick2009]

that puppy in the background is so cute! good vid new alot of it already but good vid and good loud and clear voice so overall good video good graphics and good loud and clear so good video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CarrierofHeartbreak]

I'm not all together sure what breeds my hamsters are, since the PetSmart where I got them only classified the casual hamsters as long-haired or short-haired, but my hamster, Pip is a light-tan colored long-haired with a loving attitude and only bit me once when we first got him. I assume that he is a Syrian. If I were you, I would ask the staff the try petting or holding one of the hamsters first to see if it's friendly before you buy it.

[xjx2]

Never do that! Well you can. But give it a few days before even holding it at all then allow it to crawl onto your hand or sniff it. If you dont it can lead to a disease called wet tail which comes from stress and will kill your hamster.

[MentalVlogger]

A puppy!

[CarrierofHeartbreak]

That all depends on the hamster's attitude rather than breed, but I heard that one type of Russian amster was very aggresive as a breed, so staying with Syrian will be good. Just don't put two of them together.

[animallover151999]

the cage for him/her is waaaaaaay to small

[bluekittenz6]

hey every1 check out my very first hamster video! ill keep them coming!

thanks! rate, comment, and subscribe!

[hamsterscuties]

hUH?! AT THE cage down on the glass printed free hamster?!

[alyssa8P]

i think there was a catch to that

[animalLovr302]

yeah somtimes they give away free hamsters

[M1sterHamilton]

Its probably an orhpan hamster from owners who didnt like their ham ham anymore :( shelters arent just for kitties and dogs u know dont forget about da hammiess!!!!!! :(

[cuttiehammie]

can someone give me some advise about syrian hamster about what type of cages should they use i am getting them tommorow

[Kyocera522]

one of the crittertrail cages. They are very good, mostly made of plastic, and never leave your hamster bored. if available, get the crittertrail x, y, or z. my hamster Rico LOVES his crittertrail x. Good luck :)

[tuckb9]

actually i know someone who had 2 degus and the were mean so only get one degu if you want a degu

[Kurolli]

Bullshit.

You can Use woodchips. but not ceder as its toxic.

[fingerzskates]

It's not really good for them though. She's right.

Look it up.

[Ania123456q]

jak ba baba ma zamiar wpakować tego chomiczka w te więzienie to jest bez serca

[tekdek97]

ok if ur going to talk trash obout this lady and she is trying to help us dont even bother watching the videos if all your going to do is coment mean things

[MusicAndJonas]

I WANT A HAMSTER OR A MOUSE!!!

[obuchikichiro]

hedge hog

aka sonic lol

[spiderlegs1987]

Is it normal for Hamsters to be very hyperactive and for them 2 bite their cage? Almost like they're trying to escape?!

[yoyoyo1418]

yeah its normal...just not all the time

my hamster used to do that

[SquirrelMan1313]

if he/she does it excessively than he/she is overly stressed, try holding it more and giving it some fresh veggies

[fingerzskates]

Yes, it's completely normal.

[lovlelola]

THIS WAS A WAST OF TIME BORING ` `

[talesgamer]

what r u talking about?

[VegAngel123]

This is really bad information. That cage is not suitable for a hamster, it's animal abuse to put an animal in such a small cage!

[MilkyFactory]

and it's realy good for hamster to have woodshifts at the bottom of their cage, it's got a nicer smell than paper and is better for burrowing and it dosnt cause any problems as long as it's specialy for rodents! I cant believe how bad this info is! I'v had 5 hammies and they all have lived between 4 and 6 years >:(

[fingerzskates]

well hamsters usually 2-3 years.

[theruler75]

i have a 9 weeks old syrian hamster i got her 7 days ago she use to wake up at 7pm or 8pm but now she wakes up at 12! can sum1 plzzz tell me that how can i get her wake up at 7pm or 8pm again

you can't force a hamster to wake up when ever you
