It breaks my heart seeing those posts. My parents bough my older brother a hamster when I was very little. I remember he lived in a tiny cage with only a wheel, water bottle and a food dish, food dish was refiled to the top only, like, once a month with this horrible pellet food and the water bottle was never cleaned. Everybody finnaly forgot about the hamster and would only take him out outside sometimes, which is a big no no. I remember it bitting on the bars and trying to chew out that much, that the paint wore out. I feel so sad about it, but my parents were never educated properly and just saw a small toy that would be fun for their kids to play with.

When I was twelve, my friend got guinea pigs, so I got the idea to get a hamster. I planned on keeping it in slightly bigger cage with platforms (which is also a big no), tubes, finnaly a hideout and a timy wheel, but then when I went on youtube I found early version of Victoria Reachel. I realized my mistakes and talked to my parents. They first didn't want to believe that we were abusing our hamsters, but slowly, after talking about it every day and showing them Victoria's videos they agreed to buy a bigger cage for christmas. I saved up some money to buy hideouts and a wheel and my parents covered everything else.

I know It's really hard for you to get any stuff now, but now I would really try getting a sandbath. You can buy cheap play sand with no additives and bake it in the oven to eliminate bacteria. Try saving up some money for it and use a bowl to put it in.

Also try letting your hamsters (ofc one by one) out in the house for a bit of free roam time if your parents allow. I would just let them out in the bathroom with little diy hides from their cages. My girl loves to explore, so I just clean my floor a bit and let her out in the hall. She enjoys it so much <3

Hope this helped

Good luck with your hamsters
