I will finally be making the long awaited Brachycephalic hamster video, should be out this week. Brachy basically is a disability for hamsters with the shape of their skull. Like brachy cats/dogs with the squished face. Check out my other brachycephalic videos of the past to see more about the disability and what these special need hamsters look like. 🐹 - Sorry for any confusion.

Hey, I'm new here, and I hate to bother you in the comments of your video, but I can't figure out any other way. In the beginning of this video you mentioned the cage size, I've been thinking about getting two Russian Dwarf hamsters, I was looking at a low flat cage that has a square inch surface of the floor is 617.5, would that be a good minimum size? I plan on having multiple chews and two wheels, as well as two food bowls, since that is what I've been reading was recommended, but I would like your advice if you're willing, thank you in advance!

@@nyxnightshade8422 It's not recommended to keep any hamster with another hamster even if they are litter mates and even if they are dwarfs. In the wild, all hamsters are solitary animals. So it is unnatural and stressful for them to live in pairs. Even if they get along in the beginning, as they mature, they will be territorial and could fight leading to horrible injuries and even death. It's just not worth taking a chance. My suggestion would be to just get one hamster.

I'm new to Syrian hamsters. How do I know if my hamster is brachycephalic or not? Her snout (?) looks normal, but I'm not entirely sure because she's my first. Just in case, I did my research, she has a huge enclosure, has a healthy variety of appropriate food, and she gets lots of enrichment as well as a large 11 in wheel. Just worried she might be brachy, but I'm not sure 😭

@@nyxnightshade8422 square footage is okay, just remember that it is recommended to have AT LEAST 6 inches of bedding although 12 is preferable. Make sure to add lots of hides and cork bark, the floor of the enclosure needs to be practically covered with stuff for them to run around and climb on. instead of food bowls i would recommend spreading their food across the enclosure so that they have to forage for it, this adds additional enrichment and gives them a more natural feeding style to what they would do in the wild, although you can use the bowls for treats like fresh fruits and veggies. also, hamsters are solitary animals if you want two, they need to be in separate enclosers and not be in contact with each other.

This can be true, but in actuality violence towards animals is only a red flag when it is persistent and severe. I don't mean to diminish what this hamster went through-- it was terrible absolutely, but the kind of violence that is a preface to future abuse is stuff like decapitating the family cat. Children sadly, especially very young ones often don't understand pain or death in others. That's why they do things like pulling apart worms and spiders. I could easily see how a child could think "oh, I don't like how that looks so I'll just cut it off." Regardless its a good example of why hamsters shouldn't be pets for young children without adult supervision.

Don't think I could work in a pet store. Last winter, I had a couple of cats turn up on our 3 season porch. I built a makeshift shelter by taping a couple of large cardboard boxes together and folded the flaps back on one side to make a "door." I cut up an emergency space blanket to line them and got a pet safe heating pad for the bottom. Then, the entire thing was lined and covered with blankets. Got heated dishes and essentially helped them to survive the winter. I would have taken them in if it weren't for the pair of incumbent cats I already had. Took them to the vet, got them vaccinated, etc in preparation for finding homes for them. When one hobbled out with a degloved tail (sustained the night before, somehow) I brought them both in (of course after getting the injured one to the vet) and kept them in a spare room. Well eventually a woman and 2 little girls started to canvas the neighborhood looking for them. The woman claimed "ownership" but clearly wasn't so much as keeping them fed, let alone letting them into the house or taking to the vet. (The town had a population of 158 and a single vet, unless you drove two hours to the closest shelter.) I was so angry. And I felt even worse for the two girls, whose mother couldn't afford to take care of 2 cats but also couldn't say "no" to her kids.

My guess is that the kid tried giving her a haircut and got her tail by accident. This is exactly why parents *need* to watch their kids around animals. I don't believe for a second that this was some freak accident caused by the hamster - there's literally nothing in her enclosure for it to get caught on.

My heart utterly broke to realize what was done to her. 💔 This world is full of too many shitheads who see these tiny creatures as just 'things' to be toyed with and discarded. 😥 She is for sure lucky that you saw her and rescued her. I have two mousey babies and will be giving them extra hugs and kisses after this one. Thank you for all you do for these precious creatures. 💙

She’s still so sweet and curious even with her trauma. Poor baby

Some people shouldn’t have animals. It’s so heartbreaking how evil humans can be towards innocent, precious little creatures.

I have a rescued Chinese hamster who was being kept with another hamster in a tiny cage by her previous owners, and her tail was bitten off by the other hamster. I’ve had her for a year and she’s 100% healed now of course, but mostly tailless. Chinese hamsters rely a lot on their tails for balance (they are semi-prehensile) so she falls over while grooming sometimes but is otherwise okay

she looks like such a sweet hamster, despite everything. I wish her the best- her life can only get better from here! and I wish you the best too munchie- it takes a special kinda person to be able to push through seeing really horrific stuff in order to do good. I'm also dealing with some rough medical stuff so I totally get it- I wish you as many good days as possible. 💗

My heart stopped when you said that her tail was cut off…. Some people don’t deserve animals and kids sometimes and most of the time don’t because some don’t know what their doing…. She is so lucky to have you

Typical dumbass sh*t. Well....what happened is they did ZERO research and when it came time to feed the snake the daughter took the entire little of babies and released them into the backyard. Well, they didn't separate the males from females by 5 weeks so 2 quickly became 60+ and they had gotten all the babies that were released outside back but one. The rats were sick and she disclosed it at first and then started omitting the fact the rats had SDAV from potential buyers. Even a couple local ratteries were going to help her out until they found out the rats were sick and needed to be euthanized. Well, I ended up getting pulled into the situation and was given her information like address and name etc. I started making calls to animal control and I contacted 3 or 4 in her area and every single animal control said that law enforcement needed to be called so I contacted law enforcement and the officer said she knew that address, it was a rental that didn't allow pets and she was going to check into it and keep her from rehoming or selling sick animals since it wasn't legal. Apparently the gal threw a huge fit over whoever called law enforcement but they took care of it. This is a clear case of animal abuse and law enforcement would more than likely have a chat with the people who chopped this poor little hamsters tail off. 😢

Not just small animals. You should always watch your kids, so they don't hurt themselves, other kids, humans or animals big and small. Kids don't have fully developed brains and motor functions. They may come up with ideas, adults will think insane (most kids will cut off a doll's hair and fully expect it to regrow at least once). Don't get me started on object permanence and lack of empathy (as in inability to see things from a different point of view). And even if they don't hurt anything intentionally or unintentionally with their weird plans, they can still hurt others simply because they aren't always as gentle as they mean to be. I can't count the times where animals were hurt by kids, because the parents were inattentive and the parents always blame the pet or kid. Eyes gauged by a pencil, bites after hits and "haircuts"... So many nicks. I'm willing to bet a child cut it off, maybe because it was dirty or something. I had a worse thought: It may have been a parent trying to clear the area around the anus, like some do with dogs.

Maybe the person did it, becasue they are young and don't know any better; but it is also possible that they did it, becasue they are abusing animals and need to be reported. This shouldn't just be forgotten.

She is such a sweet girl despite everything. Shes going to flourish in better conditions. Cases like these make me despise the world as a fellow small pet rescuer

Aww, she reminds me of my first hamster! He was always really sweet and calm.

this is so horrible :( thank you for saving her.

What an angel. Can’t believe that someone would do something that awful 😢

that poor hamster. she’s absolutely adorable and i can’t imagine how much pain she has experience. how could someone hurt her like that??? as someone who’s a hamster momma who has a large enclosure and cares so much about these adorable creatures, this hurts my soul oh my goodness.

They don't even have much of a tail and yet...she's a brave fighter, a little rhino. This poor little thing can be so happy having you now. Munchie, chapeau!

Oh no poor hammy. Hopefully you were able to/are able to give her the best quality life possible for any hammy for the remainder of her life.

she is so sweet, its so sad ppl do that, whis her all the lvoe in the world she deserved

Poor little ball of fluff, so glad you managed to get her away from there. Stay well Munchie.

What a sweet little baby! So glad she got out of that home!!!

Oh my god... This literally made me cry. abuse. Straight up abuse. That poor thing!!! I hope everything goes well at the vet. Thank god for your rescue. I mean-- imagine what could have happened if you didn't rescue her. As someone who owns hamsters while being at a younger age... it's not that hard to get a bin cage. Also-- just the fact that this hamster's tail was chopped off-- I have no words. I seriously want to throw my laptop knowing these people did such a horrible thing. She probably has some neurological damage from her tail being cut off like that, maybe that's why she's walking funny?

This poor girl. She’s so sweet and that’s so surprising. I hope she finds a perfect permanent home!! I can’t believe someone would do that to a hamster.

Munchie's back!!! Thank goodness for you and your rescue! This makes me want to throw my laptop honestly... people need to take care of animals! I'm owning hamsters at a somewhat young age and I have Niteangel cages... THIS IS MADNESS! It's not that hard to make a bin cage instead of getting an overpriced shoebox.

Seems like someone started to breed brachies to sell to petshops due to their more round heads. I believe people might find it cuter? Jeez, animals don't deserve their anatomy being broken.

Much oblige for all the great info

She is calm considering what she has been through. Hope the vet can sort this out.
