I m an hamster breeder since 2006, they are so lovely. Few more myths: - yellow teeth means disease? NO white teeth for hamster is a problem!!! - Breeded hamster can be handled by anyone? NO, hamsters normally recognize the smell of no more than 2-3 people in their entire life. So be careful, your super docile hamster can bite your little cousin

Although some hamsters are just angels in disguise. My hamster named Ham was like that. She would cuddle up and sleep with me. She only bit me once. It was because she was quite old and her digestive system was slowing down. This caused a buildup of painful gas. The vet sorted it all out. She didn't even bite the vet while they were poking and proding her. She was so tired though and slept on my lap the whole way home (I wasn't driving and our house was about 30 minutes away). Miss her. Little angel.

Thank you for this video! As a proud Syrian hamster owner, I am a passionate advocate for small animals. Biggest myth- hamsters are not a kids’ toy. They are a little soul that deserves the best care possible. No one would put a human in a closet to live, just because hampters are small that does not equal small home. Hamsters need large enclosures and a large wheel is a must. Love to everyone ♥️🙏

The enclosure entirely depends on how much time the hamster spends outside of the cage though. It also depends on the animal’s preferences as well. Not every animal is the same. There are many things involved with deciding on a cage.

It's so sad that some hampters get treated wrong. They are the fluffiest little furballs! This video is so helpful, thanks again!

Hey! ALL animals that encounter humans get treated wrong :( We seriously need more ways of getting information to everybody whether they like animals or not. I think ppl don't realize that karma exists and just how hilariously awesome it can be even if it's bad karma. You know what karma is, right? There is always going to be someone that doesn't know something but nobody will know everything but can know everything in one thing or another. Crazy, right? I love learning even though it hurts sometimes but the pain of everything will never go away so you might as well confront it instead of avoiding it. Good luck m8

I love how you put out a lot of effort into busting hamster myths that are false. Because of that, people will not make the mistake of doing the myth. Keep up the content!

The biggest myth is Hamsters get lonely and need company constantly. That is the craziest idea. I love this video and I think most of your hamsters are presented here.

people really are confusing hamsters with guinea pigs...

The biggest myth by far is that they make a great and easy starter pet (especially for kids). These little floofballs might look small, but they need a lot of (expensive) attention and care at hours that are mostly not suitable for kids....

@zanib.279

To be honest, no animal is an easy starter pet for kids. Every single animal needs maintenance and work which the kids will never do even if they promised you they would. Unless you really want a pet too, don't get one for your kids. My honest thoughts.

@@zanib.279 Exactly. I think maybe a child could HELP care for a large animal, like a dog or cat. This means feeding them sometimes and playing with them. But under no circumstances should a child under 13 be the sole caretaker of a pet, and I think any child under 18 should get financial help from their parents to care for it, at least for vet visits.

I watched this video with my hamster asleep on my hand ❤️❤️

I strongly agree hamsters are not toys. Thank you for your video to tell people how to treat hamsters appropriately ❤

Very chonky hammies and plus very fluffy aswell:) love your videos and tutorial!

Hamsters are the best pets!❤

So true! Many people think these myths are true, so I’m glad you’re able to point them out for us

Happy New Year to all at KumaQQ, and a big thank you from our household for fun, bright, educational and informative videos every time, you have done a fantastic job here of busting some longstanding myths especially the fact that they may get lonely, so if even one hamster gets a better chance after an owner seeing this, that's just wonderful.....and even my confirmed rodent disliking housemate is now involved and can't get enough of my hamsters and their antics. Best wishes and thanks for every video from a crazy hammy fan in London ❤❤🐹🐹

So cute, simple and understandable :) One thing I would like to reach out is that with the direct proper hamster care it will be very very costly and very high maintenance. I highly do no recommend parents buying a hamster for their kids because their too many things to consider. It is not just now but also their life journey :)

@thelassofskye93

I properly care for my animals and they are very inexpensive lol and definitely not high maintenance. The personalities of your animals must be quite interesting, haha. Because that’s definitely what anything depends on. Food is the only thing I need to buy frequently. Their toys and what not keep very well, because they they take care of them. I’ve never had to take a hamster to the vet, because my babies have all been very healthy.

I honestly would be so lost without your fun and unique video's. I found your channel when I had my first hamster a couple of months ago, who unfortunately died of a tumour at 4 months old. And I done so much research with him. I get A new hamster in just over a week, a girl. And this time I am so much more prepared. But I always love learning new things. So I really do like your channel.

You are amazing! So responsible and informed. Please keep posting these videos to educate other hamster owners and new hamster owners. We had hamsters for over 20 years (many, many years ago) and this information was not available to us. I still miss having hamsters, so thank you for sharing your knowledge and love and hammies!

Thanks for making interesting and educational videos like this!

Only person I'll listen to when it comes to my little best friend! If you give them what they need they are the BEST little pet friends you could ask for

Your channel is delightful. Thank you for being a champion for sweet little hammies!

Love your videos!! Your information is always so helpful and I’m sure will help out a lot of new owners ❤

Dwarf hamsters especially with the sand bath part. It’s recommended to have at least a third of their cage with sand

Got a little Hamsterlady 3 months ago and your Videos are so helpfull everytime! I made so many mistakes besides doing research beforehand... :( Bun know I think my little one has quite a good life because of your videos. Thank you!

Nice vid! Thanks for teaching me more about hamsters!

thx for the 2nd and the "hamsters are for children" one because yesterday, my brother just got bit by my little 4 month old syrian hamster in his pinky without giving her food, only me. with this advice, he was a proud lil 6yo. tysm kumaqq

When I was a kid I had this one hamster and I realised it was wrong to have a small bar cage. So I told my mum and we just didn't get one. But he did have a big play pen.He lasted until two years of age and got put down because he became sick. Now I own a hamster by my own she is well cared for and spoilt rotten. She is happy and I really feel guilty about my first hamster. Always get lots of correct information before getting a pet ❤

Another big myth is that hamsters are "compact" or low-space animals. Hamsters need minimum 450sq in. of space (according to the US standard), although 600+sq inches is highly recommended. If your enclosure can fit on your desk, its likely way too small.

That will depend on whether your hamster stays in its cage all the time or not. And what it’s preferences are. I have two hamster and they are polar opposites of each other. The one likes a big house, while the other is nice and satisfied with a smaller cage.

Their getting so big, so cute🥰🥰🥰

the sound effects are golden

Cute little hamster and i love your vids

My favorite myth is how hampters are actually tiny bear mechs piloted by really small people

Thank you for making this video. Not enough people are educated about them before getting one. Although i would take caution with the sand bathes and Syrian hamsters. Almost every Syrian I've had just wants to eat the sand. So, make sure to watch them the first few times. If they eat it after multiple tries (like 3-4) I tend to give up.

Everyone: chonk adorable hamsters Me: *looks at thumbnail* traumatized

We really need to do away with the stigma that hamsters are "children's pets" when in reality hammies are just like owning a cat or dog, they require good healthcare, a good diet and plenty of exercise and enrichment and it's ultimately the adult (parent) that is responsible for their well-being, not the minor. So often pet stores market hamster products with bright colors and make toy-like cages and accessories to entice kids and they sell hamsters at a low price making you think they are cheap. This only adds to the problem of improper care. Thank you for busting these myths and helping others understand what hammies really need to thrive🐹❤

So cuteeee!

We had a family hamster and we totally agree with your video. Hamsters are wonderful pets and they require alot of understanding, maturity, and care. This may require more money, space, and time than people realize! Always research before deciding to take on the responsibility of caring for these innocent and adorable creatures. If you play with your hamster often, they will be loving. Thanks so much for teaching people about hamsters!

Great video :) thank you!!

First comment ❤ Also, thanks for the helpful tips now I know what I have been doing with my hamster that was wrong~

This is an amazing vidio! Hamsters need just as mutch as atention space and care as any other pet they are living creatures you can’t just despose of them they must be given proper care and a loving owner ❤ take care of your hammies peopole

Wow, thanks for the video! I love so much my hamster. I hope i will keep it save dan calm

Also it’s possible to potty train your hammy, so it’ll help with the possible smells too. My hamster, Kevin, used what was supposed to be a nice sand bath, as a potty so he was very easy to tend to smell wise. Took a little time to train but it worked out well in the end

this is good Ms. Kumaqq

I liked the big opening yawn. And also very cute hammies, 10/10 video, only one problem, i think i might die of cuteness❤. Everyone do your research before getting a hampter please

It's so true! Hamsters are not for children! Both sides can get hurt easily, especially the little hammy might be scared all the time because many kids are just too loud (shouting, crying etc.). Treasure your hampters and please give them a beautiful life ❤❤❤ Thank you for this video KUMA !

biutiful intro

Awwwwwww😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

the yawner also i have dwarf hamster

I had a hamster as a kid not super young,I took very good care of my Lucky and he lived for 4yrs back when I was a kid in the 90's.I have 2 hamsters now after 8yrs from when my 2nd hamster passed away on Christmas day in 2013.

When I was 8, a friend had two hamsters in a tiny wire cage enclosure. Somehow even though it was a male and a female, they never bred, never fought and lived a pretty decent time. But every time I recall seeing the two in that small cage I cringe and I wonder how anyone can allow a living creature to live in such a tiny space. Also, my sister once got the class hamster for the weekend when she was like 12 and I was 6. We had dogs, so we decided the best way to keep it safe was to leave it in its cage in the bathroom with the door closed. Somehow it got out and got into the toilet and drowned. We still have no idea how it did it. But seriously, who ever thought a tiny creature like that would be a good pet for a child?

3:25- tuna is blocking the sun!

The myth about hamster bites that some people say can bring disease is the biggest myth. But in fact, hamsters are actually very clean animals. Almost every day my hamster of the Winter White type really likes to clean himself. Including his teeth. I get bitten by my hamster a lot because I used to have a WW hamster that was really mean. Bite until it bleeds. But be safe. You only need to wash the wound in running water, not because hamster bites are dangerous, but bacteria or viruses from the air can enter through the wound. And sometimes hamsters like to invite us to play by biting our fingers without any injuries. It was the same as when he scratched his body with his teeth.

Improper breeding is why we have things like brachycephalic syrians and lethal white. I own a brachy syrian, and it is somewhat cost and labor intensive having to make him a custom soft food diet and keep his enclosure more deep cleaned than you typically would to help his breathing. Even though he is seemingly stress free, no hamster deserves a life like that.

Yay wow -
