Awareness for proper care needs to be shared. It can easily be accessible online, however google search results don't always show good care information which ends up misguiding people. While these owners simply "didn't care" about their hamsters and wanted to profit off of their suffering, not everyone who has bad care is a bad person. SO KEEP THIS IN MIND! They may just need guidance and understanding.

The excuse that because hamsters have short lives means they don’t get the best treatment seems off to me. Shouldn’t they get good treatment BECAUSE they don’t have long lives? You aren’t going to be stocking up on food, bedding and chew toys for long so why not get more expensive and nicer ones.

Agreed. A child who can not even go to school yet should never be interacting with an animal unsupervised or sometimes even when supervised. Now once a child gets older it all depends on the child and how responsible they are. My son was 8 when he got his first hamster. However it took several months of us, including him, doing research, watching videos, and discussing his responsibilities. When we finally went to the pet store to get his hamster he began informing others, including the employee, about proper hamster care. Still for the first month his hamster’s tank had to remain in our living area so we could watch him interact with him before moving him to his room. I think having a pet can be good for kids, but the kids need to be taught proper care, handling, and responsibility. One of my biggest pet peeves is parents who allow their child to get a small animal as a pet but never make them take responsibility for their pet and then eventually allow them to treat the animal as disposable when they get bored.

@@Carolinagirl1028 this I can agree with. I let my kid that young hold kittens and etc but I watched him and made him sit down and hold it that way if the kitten scratched him by accident he wouldn't react and drop them by accident cause even when you teach them better accidents happen so prevention needs to be a concern as well. My kid is the most gentle giant even today cause I taught him how so it always irritates me when I see an older kid that was never taught better or has been taught a refuses to learn like my nephew.... I'll explain why I can't take my nephew or my mother anywhere nice together. I took my kid who was 8 yrsold and nephew around 11-12 yrsold to a pet store that lets you handle the animals where I've taken my kid loads of times with no problems and I have a simple rule don't touch any animal without asking me or my fiance right there with them. I figured even though my nephew doesn't listen too well he's older now and my mother is there so she can focus on watching him and he will ask me or my fiance if he wants to hold a ferret or something so nothing will happen. Boy was a wrong he didn't listen and with my idiotic mother who isn't the brightest let him pick up a bird without asking us to help who of course tried biting the crap out of him and he in turn tried throwing it off his hand... I of course stopped him immediately and gave him and my mother a freaking earful cause I was pissed cause he didn't listen, my mom who was with him was just letting him do whatever and laughing at the situation thinking it's all just a freaking riot, and the bird could of got hurt. The bird wasn't even mean cause me and my fiance were holding it 5 minutes before the fiasco no prob. I know too my dad would've been pissed off too if he pulled that crap. So it proves age isn't everything with pets cause my kid is at least 3 years younger than my nephew and never does that crap and actually listens. I know my nephew was taught better by his parents but idk what is up with that kid but that's why I never want to watch him cause I end up yelling at him most of the time over stuff I never even yell at my kid for and to top it off I get attitude from him and my mother defending his crap. So I refuse anymore or if I do take him somewhere it's always with my fiance and without my mother if my dad isn't around cause he's worse when she's around.

Thank you for holding yourself back! That was very responsible! I've been doing the same thing for over a year, but it's a bit different. I've been keeping Ratties for about 6 years and used to rescue them left and right. It got a bit out of hand, especially when I had 11 at one time. I did 3 years of research before getting my first girls and am still doing research, so I did have plenty of knowledge, but it was still too much. Rats are extremely close to my heart (no seriously, I'm a guy and I have Rat coloring books) and I do plan to adopt 3 boys soon (anywhere from 6-12 months), but I feel it's just not the time. Remember, do your research before adopting/rescuing/or gosh for bid buying any animal. Good luck 😉

I was sitting down on the carpeted floor at age 9 or 10 (this was over 10 years ago now though). It bit my hand and my hand jerked and it fell to the floor. It wasn't mine but my friends. It was kept in a bright colourful cage that for sure was not for gerbils whatsoever. They were massive 'animal lovers' and always bragged about how well they took care of their animals. Looking back at it now, they were neglectful as anything. The owner got bit a ton by the gerbil and other small critters. They bred and sold their dogs, though I will say they did this pretty nicely. But the way they treated them was still horrible overall, amd didn't make up for how they treated things like gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, etc.

My kids are largely taking care of our two rats and one hamster. They feed and water them and help me clean the cages and socialising them. My kids are great at taking care of their pets and they love them. But I absolutely wouldn't trust them alone with the rodents. Kids don't always think about the feelings of other living things and that can lead to accidents or injuries. One accidental drop could seriously hurt the animals or lead to a nasty bite. Or, like my daughter admitted to me, she scared her favorite rat because she blew air at her. She didn't know why she did it, she just wanted to play, but the rat didn't like it. Thankfully rats are very forgiving with a crispy rice treat and all was forgiven, but she still did it and didn't know why exactly and acknowledged she's shouldn't have done it. She is only 8 so I don't expect her to be a great pet owner, it is largely the parents responsibility to teach them responsible pet ownership. Something people don't consider is that when you have small children and pets it's double the work and responsibility on both sides because you have to set a good example and teach both a pet and a child at the same time.

When you mentioned "stupidest shape of a cage ever", I actually thought they might be in the Tiny Tales™ XL Dinosaur cage... you really need to do a review on this monstrosity.

We've also reminded him of all the lovely dinosaur toys he has in his room. We've done all of this repeatedly, but that dino debacle just blows his mind. He wants it, & he will not stop wanting it anytime soon. He will not get it. I hate these crap companies & their crap products & the way they target kids like that...because I get it- I had hamsters as a child & if there had been a unicorn hamster house or a rainbow brite hamster house I would have longed for it just the way my boy wants that shit dinosaur.

My son was 8 when he helped me save 5 orphaned wild bunnies.. he fed them with a syringe and stimulated them to pee… we took care of them for a long holiday weekend before being able to drop them off with a licensed rescuer..obviously every kid is different but my son was super gentle and I taught him how to pet and hold our animals and I trusted him…. How to groom them, clean their cage/enclosure, etc.. obviously if you have a strange child in your house you are super careful about letting them pet or play with your animals.. but I totally disagree with you - as long as you know the child and have spent time teaching the child how to lovingly pet and hold the animal, you can trust the child…

When you raged I felt that (I also raged when she did XD) but seriously that's so sad both the hamsters were neglected :(.

I’m so glad you were able to rescue these hamsters. The next hamster I’ll get will most definitely be rescued and not from a pet store

Bloody King no it’s not because they treat their small animals so bad and most end up dying and they end up in pet stores really young sometimes and when you do get a hamster from there they’ll just order more and more will die

Michał how is supporting rodent mills rescuing?! large pet stores such as petco and pet smart get their hamsters from rodent mills where many hamsters (30+ usually) are kept in very small spaces when they are very young. when u buy a hamster there, all you're doing is supporting those places by keeping business going. its much better to get a hamster from a rescue and to support them. plus, if u get a hamster from a pet store, it will be more likely to have a disease such as wet tail, because they will be very stressed which causes their immune system to be lowered. there's really no reason to get a hamster from a pet store besides convenience, which isn't worth a hamsters life.

Michał no, because when you buy them you’re both supporting the terrible business and there will be another hamster in the place of the one you buy soon enough.

My 2 year old nephew liked to smash bugs and then go like "broken" because he was learning the concept of stuff getting "broken". ... the concept of that bug now being dead and not just "broken" definitely was nothing he understood. Poor hamster. I already felt bad for the bugs.

It's terrible what conditions some hammys are kept in :(

Thank you for speaking up for the animals that cannot speak up for themselves.

I literally can't even imagine that being my home for several months without me being able to leave. DISGUSTING! Do people not realize Hamsters are living beings and now just little cute toys you can play with?

I was watching this video with my cat, Moe, sitting next to me, and as soon as you pointed out the mold in the enclosure, he began to throw up. I'd say his reaction was absolutely called for.

I'm like a hamster. I need to be housed alone.

I do not want to be in the same room that you are in when you were recording lol

I'm so used to hamster and guinea pig KZreadrs being super pg and quiet but I just love how you aren't afraid to very clearly speak your mind about how much it pissed people off and how neglectful it is to get pets without doing research.

Hi guys! I’m actually the person who ended up adopting Phoenix (The Syrian hamster). I just wanted to come on here and sadly announce that last week at the age of 1 year and 6 months she has passed away. I wrote a speech in which I would like to share today, “I kept the name Phoenix because i really loved the meaning behind it. You’ve truly risen from the ashes. Im so sorry that your first few months on this earth were ones of mistreatment and pain. You deserved so much better than that. I’m so greatfull for munchies place for rescuing you and giving me the chance to give you everything you deserved and more I loved how every night you would wake up and sit up in your cage and wait for me to take you out to play. I loved the way you stuffed your cheeks with veggies. I loved how gently you took treats from my hand. Phoenix, you’ve truly blossomed through out this past year. I love you forever and always” Munchie, thank you for giving these amazing little creatures a second chance of life and for giving people like me and so many others the option to adopt and not shop. We appreciate all the work you do!

Clicked for the hamsters, stayed for the personality. You're so funny and passionate, you really seem like a great person. Shame I didn't find your channel sooner, but at least now I get to binge watch your videos.

before i got my winter white, i researched and made sure i could afford him. he lives in the largest clear plastic bin my walmart carries. (200qt) even now that i own him, i still research and constantly update my care to ensure he can live the best life that i can provide him with. the previous owners of the two rescued hamsters are awful, the fact that the two hamsters lived in an awful cage and are homed together is truly disgusting. this makes me sick seeing those hamsters like that. im so glad that theyre in munchies care now, they deserve to live out happy lives since their lives are so short. i pray for these little guys!

This reminds me when I went to the pet store to get stuff for my Syrian hamster and saw a winter dwarf digging around in her food. I fell in love but I knew that I should never buy pets from a pet store so I didn’t but I could not stop thinking about her all day and ALL night I could not sleep. Finally I gave in and bought everything she would need and don’t worry I got a huge bin cage and good food and all that I got her and I could finally rest and be calm like I did something right. Everthings goin great and 2 day ago I wake up and check on her/ freya because it’s cleaning day and there’s blood all over the cage..... at first I’m like hamsters have periods!?!?! I researched it and found out that female hamsters don’t have periods so I freak out and run to her cage with my brother. I see a hole in her bedding that she might have dug up so I follow the tunnel to where she died I’m not gonna go into detail but she probably had a long painful death and Idk why she even died. I’m never gonna get that image out of my head and now I’m sticking to Syrian hamsters and avoiding pet stores. So please don’t get hamsters from pet store because those hamsters have terrible genetics and might just die after a week and etc....

My sister had mice from the pet store (my other sister convinced her to breed them as food for her snakes). She started out with three females and two males, IIRC one or two of the females died within a week, the younger male within a month, so she went to get more (from the same store), most of the babies they had were disfigured, some litters were bitten dead right after birth … It was a complete and utter shitshow, I don't think any of them lived more than half a year, aside from the older male who made it to almost three years. (And looking back, his cage was half as big as it should have been - and that was the larger one where the females were in before.)

@@rolfs2165 please please, if she already has not tell your sis to transition her snek to f/t feeders brought from a reputable source that humanely euthanise them. It's more human for the rodents and less dangerous for the snake, no risk of it getting bitten or attacked by the mouse if not hungry and no risk of parasitic infection. Don't fall for the "in nature they don't eat f/t", they are in captivity so it's our responsibility to keep them safe

@@nowsynowsy The whole things's been over 10 years ago. My mum put her foot down and made my sister buy frozen mice for her snakes after the third or fourth litter went all fucked again. And my sister gave the snakes away to a friend (or friend of a friend) who already had a bunch of other reptiles a few years later when she moved out for uni.

I love your anger in this video cuz this story is heartbreaking!!!! My daughter wanted a hamster at 2 and I said no she didn’t get her first hamster till she was 6 and she only had “playtime”. While I supervised. And she’s very gentle and knowledgeable cuz of me she even tell PetSmart workers that there cages are inappropriate. I showed her this video and she was blown away that not only 1 hamster lived in that cage but 2

Thank you for being a great parent! It restores faith in me seeing parents who take the time to educate themselves and their children properly about animal care! 🥰❤️

Thank you for everything you do for hamsters, gerbils and mice in need. There needs to be more people like you helping small animals!

The thing Bout lil kids u said is so true. I was 8 when I got my first Syrian, he lived in a cage with a 5 inch wheel, smaller than the critter trail cage. I never really liked to handle him. I would put him in his ball to run while I cleaned his cage. My dad lost him a few times in the couch while holding him. I loved him so much and was so devoted but I knew nothing, as I just used what I was given. My ham died when I was 11 yrs old. If I ever have a ham and kids the kids will never hold the ham unless I am there and they will be taught proper care.

I couldn’t stop laughing when you said ‘’so they won’t have BABIES ARRREEEE YOUUUUUU KIIIIDDDDDINNNNGGGGGG MEEEEEEEE’’😂😂😂

thank you so much for being so serious, more people need to know this!

Thanks for showing the good and bad intakes that you receive, it is good to point out misinformation and spread awareness in lack of hamster care ❤ Glad they ended up in good hands, and not another neglectful owner too!

Thank you for rescuing them and caring for them!

I love how passionate u r. Ur like the feelings I hide when I go in a pet store lol

Watching these videos always makes me sad 😔 but then I regain happiness knowing the fact that you do your best to help all these poor animals

You are an awesome person! Thank you as always for the 2 rescues, Munchie💕

Oh my gosh, that makes me so mad! Those poor hamsters deserve much better, I’m so glad you helped. Imagine what would’ve happened if you didn’t! 😰

Thank you for rescuing them!❤️

Terrible how people abuse these wonderful creatures. You do a great job!! Thank God for people like you

This is heartbreaking. I'm glad you got them and are giving them the care they need and deserve!

I love that you showed how furious this made you, because there is really no excuse for this abuse 😭 It's so hard to believe there are people this cruel in this world. So happy you were able to rescue these babies 🙌 My now 7 year old brother has grown up around my hamsters, but first after he turned 7 was he allowed to handle her (on her terms, under supervision etc), after I had spent years teaching him how to act around them first. I feel so bad for the poor hamster being handled by a toddler! I mean we have all seen them squeeze food because they don't know how to hold it, why would it be any different with live animals???

One time, when I first got my dog, we took her to the pet store, and she was so excited that she peed 😂

Awh. 🥺

The videos of the hamsters in your care warms my heart, they're thriving! I'm watching these videos sat next to my my rats cage and i have to stop and give them loads of cuddles, they have respiratory issues right now and they're being so good taking the meds 💕 i don't understand how these fragile, cute and often very trusting animals can be treated so bad. I know my care is good for my boys and i STILL feel like i can do better and consistently research and learn new information around their care!

I love how you just let loose on this video with your rage. I am so grateful you were able to help them both. Thank you

The food bowl looked like it had a tide line of rot! Holy carp thats disgusting! At least the hammies are in a good place now

How can you have such a small cage, and not even be able to clean it enough before it grows mold? If you did it twice a week it would literally take you five minutes! These people are unbelievable.

We're so glad you're uploading again! Feel better soon

Oh my gosh! I've been watching your videos for a while and never connected the dots between you and the craigslist ads! I'm so glad that you're helping these babies

I've been seeing on Facebook in 2 different groups I'm in people showing their new hamster so I told them about how much space a hamster needs. I also told them they should check you out. I was thinking just cause I don't have a hamster anymore doesn't mean I can't help let other people know what they need.

I'm already horrified and I'm like 2 minutes in.

I got chills down my spine when she said the toddler was 2... poor little thing so glad you came in to rescue them. I just subbed, you’re so passionate about those animals, it’s beautiful to witness xx

Good on you! You’re amazing, I am happy that you do these videos and that there are more and more people being educated. Thanks!

I’m watching many KZread videos, looking online and asking friends (with experience) about hamsters so that my hamster has the perfect care and that it is very healthy :) Edit: I am ten years old and trying VERY hard to learn everything there needs to know becuase you inspire me to do better :)

When you started yelling I said you go girl

Mom of two here with experience with kids and hamsters. Knowing they let a two yr old handle that poor baby is heart wrenching... My daughter got "her" hamster at 2 years old. She knew the rules were NO touching. She got to drop food into the bin and treats as well as getting to talk to the hamster all the time. After 6 months of practicing on stuffed animals a gentle 1 finger tip pet technique I allowed her to touch her back that way while I was holding her. Even then it was like 2-3 "pets" before hammie wanted to move and we would be done petting her.

Thank u for respecting the hamster's Privacy

I bought a hamster for my 3 year old. (I do all the care of course) and I’d like to add that they are always supervised when together. My daughter does not hold him she just watches him run around and will hand him treats. I didn’t however realize how horrible the cages were at the pet store so I upgraded to the 30 gallon I had on hand and will be making an appropriate sized permanent home this weekend! Thanks for the advise and the knowledge! ❤️

I love how you yell about it, like whenever i see this kinda awful stuff, I want to scream at these people too, and you do it for me

Munchie, everytime I overhear people getting told bad information about small pets (any pets really) at the pet store, I just want to grip them by the neck and yell/educate them like you do in these videos. However, I'd also like to stay out of jail. So I try to politely intervene and give them info if they receptive to it (usually not). Thank you for raising your voice for our tiny furry friends. ❤

I was waiting for this story!!! I can't believe this happened!!!!!!!!! Thank you for saving these beautiful babies

Thank god you rescued them. This made me cry

My hamster always wake up when I have food😂😂 and a always have to give him food but it is always safe

Hi munchie! How are you? All I can say is people don't know how to treat hamsters!

Munchie is amazing! She's so kind to rescue animals! I also love it when munchie gets angry, at the neglectful owners!

I was horrified when I initially thought there was one hamster in that tiny ball. I've never even heard of having two hamsters of differing species together. This is a complete horror story. I felt SICK listening to the details of their lives up until this point. Thank you for rescuing them, despite the high asking price. Hope both hamsters manage to recover (as far as possible) from the trauma.

Also in the food dish it looks like rice a roni with seeds

Bro this hurts my feelings, my hamster is in a 200 qt bin

I love this video. Sorry you have to get so aggressive but I really hope more people start listening to you cause your truly amazing and share all your knowledge. Keep up the great and amazing work. Love you Munchie!!! P.S. So glad you saved these two hamsters. Such a sad story but such a happy ending. So glad they are doing better. Thank you Munchie!!!

I'm so glad you do this!!! Ypu have inspired me so much and when I move out of my house because I'm only 13 and we don't have enough room in our house I want to start a hamster rescue. Thank you for helping small animals in need!! ❤

This is the saddest story I've ever seen on this channel.

They lived in a *travel* cage for short distances.

Omg bless you for rescuing those poor hammies, and for educating people! I got my first hamster at 15, and did a shitload of research before getting one. People need to realise that you need to know your shit before getting actual living creatures, and know what they need.

This litrally makes me so mad 😭 Poor little babies, your the best Munchie! I'm so glad you managed to rescue them ❤️

This makes me very sad 🥺

Muncie can you review the smallest cage ever I would love to hear your thoughts about this pickles pets reviewed it it looks like a mushroom it around 30 or 20 sq inches

I haven't had a hamster since I was 8 years old and looking back I wish I had known what your videos have taught me now. I've been watching your videos for a year or so just so that I am fully informed about proper hamster care if I ever get another one, thank you for all that you do for our tiny little friends. Also I grinned so wide when you said "Backstreet Boys Tour". Are you a lovely???

It’s so sad, I hate hearing about animal neglect and abuse. It’s nice to see them happier. Please keep us updated how they are 💕

Honestly, I know you would never but these people deserve to be named and shamed.

Even if hamsters have a short life span, why not give them the best life they could ever have!!!! After all, they are living breathing beings too!!😐😐😐

Thank you for rescuing these! Your channel has helped me so much preparing for getting a hamster. I’ll be getting a ham for my birthday. Been getting all the stuff ready before I get one. 😊 I will finally welcome home my new ham in August.

I’m so happy they’re out of that horrible situation! 💖 Poor hammies! 😭
