that woman made me blood boil.. your volunteer is a saint for not going off on her.

The spiders will have been housed alone. Those spiders are tarantulas, and they are cannibalistic and like Syrians, need to be alone. Those prices are pretty normal for those tarantula species. (I used to own tarantulas here in the uk). I am so glad you guys did the best you could do for those poor hamsters. x

So many people don't realize you must never remove newborn animals from their mothers for even a second, or even just get close to them. When people think of labour and newborns, they think of doctors and nurses at a hospital, of the baby and mother needing the help of others. But humans are a huge exception, not the rule. Most of the bad rescues on this channel make me sad and angry. I think this one might have just taken the top place. Not just because of the terrible 'care', but especially the attitude of that woman. I can't imagine what it would be like if someone else, a normal (not a rescue) person responded to the ad and had this 'surprise' dumped on them.

I have saved 5 hamsters so far. 2 of them became snake food but i took them away from those people. Today they live happily with me. Each of them has their own terrarium/ aquarium from a meter. It’s all natural decor and they get the best quality food with veggies and fruit. They have become sweethearts🐹❤️ I keep them for as long as they live. Now i have in total 5 hamsters. 4 Syrians and 1 dwarf hamster. I spend over a €150,- for each hammie. I can barely afford food for myself but they are my life! I love them so much

Words can not explain what I feel now. I’ve rescued a hamster in the past in horrible conditions and I cried when I got home. I really hope pups and mum make it . And I hope the volunteer is ok after the ordeal. Goodness know what’s going on in that house 😥. Volunteer you are amazing!! And of course munchie and the whole rescue! Take care .

To calm down myself from this, I am right now watching my hammy boy eating his seeds. I'm just glad he's ok. What a ride you two told us, wow. I wish mom and babys have a chance...Memori out.

My rabbit was unintentionally neglected for the first almost 2.5 years of his life. He was emotionally, dietary and physically neglected but even with all that neglect he was always very loving and such a brave boy. Sadly when he developed kidney failure his very sensitive GI Tract from the neglect was damaged as a result of the kidney failure. My aunt tried to care for him but with the little knowledge she had she neglected him.

Same situation here, my male rabbit was neglected for the first 4 years, by my brother. They eventually gave him to me, he's 8 years old now, but the damage has been done. The only thing his old owners did for him was neutering, so I have him housed with a female. He's been improving, but he will never recover from the things he has been through

I do understand that rodents are bred for food but they should be kept in the right conditions and also you're not supposed to feed live to reptiles. Maybe that's where the other babies went. Either way she sounds totally off the wall and not willing to accept what she did. Thank goodness you got them hopefully the rest will be ok.

I love how passionate you and your volunteers are about our little furry friends. I have had my chinese hamster mulan for 8 months now and I couldn't imagine life without her.

hi! i’m a guinea pig owner and i have terrible allergies so i feel what the seller is saying when she mentions allergies- but güd she hasn’t had allergies before the animals that means she is NOT cleaning the cages at all.

Yep! Defensiveness is definitely a real thing. I refused to rehome a hamster a few months ago to someone with a inappropriate cage. I tried to educate nicely but she just got mad and called me names. The cage was a Pawhut 5 tier cage and in her mind it was huge

I greatly appreciate and admire the work you do; The rescue and this channel. I applaud you and the volunteers for saving the lives of so many little souls.

You are such an inspiration! I know rescuing can be hard work but I feel like I would like to maybe start a rescue in the future or something, idk

I was just browsing on Facebook market place and because Facebook decided to steel my data they showed some hamster things. What I saw was not as horrible as other breeders but still had improper care. There were about 8 112sq inch enclosures and each one had two dwarf hamsters. They were selling one of the enclosures but they decided to take a photo of all of them showing the dwarf hamsters and... their babies. Of course I contacted the people and nicely tried to inform them and it turned out the person who was breeding these hamsters was an 8 year old child. I tried to explain and I said that pet stores really care about profit more then they actually do the animals. They started doubting me and saying that I was wrong and they refused to change their care. It really works me when people just can’t take criticism and they don’t even bother to check against their judgement.

Thank you for what you're doing for hamsters!

i took in three fosters a week ago. clearly guy didnt want them as theyd been dumped on him months before, but he didnt think to rehome them until one fell extremely ill. the ill one, a syrian who we named corvid, was so weak the vet couldnt even recommend treatment for the unidentified lump he had, euthanasia was the only route that was ethical for him. we are so lucky the other male syrian he was housed with (we were so lucky that neither had any wounds, they had been together for over 7 months according to the old owner) is very healthy, as is the winter white who came in a separate enclosure.

We need more munchies about in this world 💕💕

Yeah, "A" was super nice to this woman. If she responded in a defensive way that's on her she should have just took it and said yeah you're right thank you for the information thank you for taking these babies and be on our way but for her to get defensive after "A" was simply educating her is ridiculous. People are so touchy. It's not so much what we do in the mistakes that we make it's how we deal with them and move on from it.

Poor hammies and poor you guys for going through that. Its just incredible hard to realise each time that there are people that just dont know how to deal with animals. Or they just dont care I dont know but it makes me angry a lot. I see those things as well and I talk to those people. I want to make sure that people can ask me questions if they want to know more and stuff. And happily I have had many questions from people hamsterowners that wanted some information so it is working. By the way I rescued mice onces and I wanted to rescue a group of mice from someone that needed to get rid of them and then suddenly there was a highly pregnant female and then suddenly there were also 5 babies already there.. so people keep that quiet more often. They were all alive though. 8 babies were born in my care and they grew up. Babies die when they dont get milk or dont get the warmth from the mother since the pups cam regulate their body temperture. I do must say that for many people that those advice can sound hard and meen. Especially when you do this in the form of a message instead of saying it in person. They cant hear your tone. It could sound angry in their heads when they read your comment even though it wasnt meant that way. Sometimes I hate snake owners especially how they tend to treat rodents as far as I have seen :(

You did a good thing

People make fun of me for loving hamsters and getting so worked up about this stuff, but they don't understand just how horrible these neglect stories are.

I just dreamed about having 2 hamsters and make them have babies and myself in the dream was like nooooo! This is not okay!!!

We had a rescue that was dropped at a pet store. The store wasn't one that had an adoption program so they tried to direct the person to an animal shelter... which was about 15 minutes down the road. The person told them that either they could take the hamster or he could take it home and drown it. Needless to say, the store took the animal then one of the employees promptly called me. People suck sometimes.

made me cry :(

Is there any way you can report them to the police? This is straight out animal abuse and I get the feeling this person is an animal hoarder. She should have all her animals taken away and banned from them because she has no remorse for her bad actions.

I’m crying in the first 2 minutes😢😣

oh this one made me ANGRY angry

The allergy part I understand because I developed a cat allergy so I know it’s possible. But the doesn’t excuse the neglect… edit: Just got to the part about the filthy surroundings and that makes a lot of sense too

Hi Munchie, I've watched a lot of your videos but am yet to see one of handling/taming. Is this something you have done, or may do in the future? I have a hard time taming my hamsters and always feel like I'm stressing them out. Any advice would be great!

How many babies were there? If she gets back to 100% you need to name her something that means strong like Matilda. Matilda means might power or battle. Just a suggestion.

Little babies:3

My sister and i got dwarf hamsters (from petsmart i think) when we were in elementary school... few days later my hamster had 5 babies!! 2 weeks later my sisters had 2 babies!! (They were the tiniest things id ever seen)

I adopt rescue hamsters. My Syrian died last week of a prolapse due to previous owner constantly breeding from her on a breeding rack. When I first got her she couldn't walk properly or spin on a wheel so I had to rehabilitate her. For the time zi had her she was loved and happy and despite everything she was a great companion. It just makes me sick to think how many suffer because people don't care.

❤

"The litter was unexpected." You are housing a male and a female. Together. How is it unexpected for them to produce offspring?

So sad how this is common. Just talked to my cousins today and they told me they went through 3 hamsters, 2 of them died in A FEW DAYS. Wtf. They also used the same horrible cages. One of them fell down the cage and broke its spine

As someone who intends on rescuing small and exotic animals when able to: I know snakes gotta eat, but f/t is much better, and it's at least worth a shot to try and transition a snake to it instead of feeding live, and if you do have to do it live, you want the care of the feeders to be outstanding. Like I don't want cheese that's molded from a dirty old fridge, your snake doesn't want a raunchy sickly rodent from a dirty old cage.

We may not have had the best care for our hamsters but we have always known they are solitary.

Those poor hamsters especially the babies being separated from the mom while getting transported I don't blame her for being upset 😡 those monsters don't deserve animals

How sad! I had a similar situation I have 8 girls rats in total and I seen someone who had an “accidental litter” long story when I went to pick up two baby rat girls ther person who I have been talking too was a teenager and she was just breeding the rat to make money 😡 the baby were very stressed not socialized and wanted nothing to do with me so I bonded them with three of my younger girls who I got from a breeder so they were able to show the babies how to be confident rats but to this day they still don’t want nothing to do with me which is ok cause I love ☺️

I'm so. Pissed isn't the word to fully describe how I feel, but it'll have to do. This person WILLINGLY put 2 hamsters together to breed, put them in danger via their awful and dangerous "enclosure", disturbed the nest and possibly touched newborn pups, didn't warn the volunteer about the babies, and gaslit everyone because they weren't applauded for their shitty behavior. Narcissism and greed at its finest! I get so pissed at people who don't do any research when they get a pet and are like " oh I'll learn as I go". No. That's selfish and entitled of people to risk harming another being without knowing how to take care of that other being! I don't care if it's "just a dog"; the pet never asked to be born. The BARE MINIMUM of decency and respect is to learn and implement how to properly take care of them. I don't care how cute baby hammies are. This situation was avoidable if this person wasn't a selfish entitled brat

I saw a video saying that if you touch newborn hamsters the mother will reject them since she will smell your scent rather than hers on them. If you must move the babies for some reason use a spoon.

poor babies :( I went on Craigslist today and there is an ad for what seems to be like this person had 2 accidental litters, one litter seems to be a month old and the other one looks like the babies were born last week. it just makes me sad because that might mean they had 4 hamsters together in a 10 gallon tank,they are Syrian too which makes it worse :( I want to adopt one of the adults or babies because there are at least 9 in one litter so they might not all go to good homes. I hope it’s not a similar situation to this but based on the pictures they provided it seems kind of similar to this situation 😔

Seriously...this is shocking its not fair on u that you have handle this some people even though they not be educated still have see this as abuse like the mother is a beautiful color and to think what she has been through hurts

Hey Munchi, what would you reccomend for cleaning a senior hamster's bottom? I've got a female syrian hamster who is reaching 2 years old in a couple of months and she has a dirty bottom now. I've done some research and found to use either baby wipes or pet wipes, and I picked up a small packet of unscented baby wipes

How can people be such monsters..

I got a new hamster because my mice died she is a beautiful light colored sirian and she came with a bald spot on a her back from stress but in her new home that bald spot is now gone. which means she is happy in her 30 gallon long tank.
