1. Do not keep them in pairs. Hamsters are loners - keeping them together often results in stress, fighting, injuries and death. They are very happy alone.
________________________________________________
2. Minimum cage size
dwarf hamsters: 30 x 20 x 20 inches (80x50x50cm);
bigger hamsters: 40 x 20 x 20 inches (100x50x50cm)!
NOT like this:
Living in cages like this for them is like a human living in an elevator - a lot too small and even dangerous!
For them it feels like this:
Behavior like this is a signal for stress because the cage is too small or that they need more bedding:
Better:
________________________________________________
3. Your hamster (always!) needs a hamster wheel - and it must be a lot bigger than you might think!
Hamster must be able to run with a completely straight back
on a closed surface
with a closed back wall!
NOT like this:
Results of those wheels are: spine problems, backache, stress, injuries!
Minimum wheel size for dwarf hamsters: 9-10 inches.
Minimum wheel size for bigger hamsters: 12 inches!
Better:
________________________________________________
4. Do not buy them plastic tubes (at all):
Those tubes are not suitable at all: Hamsters get stuck or suffocate in them easily.
________________________________________________
5. Your hamster needs enough bedding to dig and build tunnels.
NOT like this:
Better:
Your hamster will be extremely happy and dig around and build tunnels all day (night).
A study also found out that (golden) hamsters need up to 12-36 inches of bedding, so just do your best do give them the highest amount of bedding possible. :)
________________________________________________
6. The less plastic the better!
NOT like this:
Plastic gets swallowed, splinters, can injure or even kill your hamster.
Better:
________________________________________________
7. Hamsters ALWAYS need a sand bath.
Hamsters love rolling around in the sand, for them it’s like showering. How would you feel without a shower?
You can use those little baths as toilets, but you still need a bigger sand bath!
Better:
________________________________________________
8. Hamsters need a house with at least 2 or more chambers to store food, sleep etc. Also make sure that your hamster does have enough hiding places like coconuts, small houses, toilet rolls!
________________________________________________
9. Do use unperfumed toilet paper for nesting material, don’t use “hamster wool” -> it can tangle around a limb and seriously hurt and even kill your hamster!
NOT like this:
________________________________________________
10. Never ever ever put your hamster or any animal in a hamster ball.
They can’t get out, might suffocate or panic, might run against furniture and seriously injure themselves. The ventilation is terrible, your hamster can’t see/smell/hear enough or use any of their senses properly.
In some countries they even discuss about banning those by law!
Even if you think that “your hamster has fun in it” - please don’t use them!
_______________________________________________________
Please reblog and spread this information.
Pet stores often are very misinformed and sell terrible cages and have little to no idea how to keep a happy hamster - please be careful when trusting them. In the end they often just want to make money - and the hamsters suffer.
Please adopt, not buy hamsters - there are too many hamsters in this world that we need any more breeding.

MASTERPOST: Cheap Cages And Supplies For Hamsters - IKEA

(Sorry for the spelling errors - I made this post in a rush.)
fancam compilation from instagram .. Thanks to fans for cheers!
Hello,,
My name is Ashraf Alanqar, and I am 30 years old. My wife, Widad Issa, and I have a one-and-a-half-year-old son named Bakr. We used to live peacefully in the Al-Shuja’iya neighborhood, in a house we built just a week before the war began. I worked as a farmer and owned a large chicken farm that provided for my family.
Beloved of my heart (Bakr)
Then the war came and destroyed everything. Our home was reduced to ashes, and our chicken farm was obliterated. We lost our home, our livelihood, and even our basic rights. We've been forced to move from place to place in northern Gaza, simply trying to survive.
My House before...
Me.. while trying to recognize what has happened..
The terror we feel as we flee from heavy bombardment is unbearable. The sound of explosions around us, the constant fear as we navigate through the rubble of destroyed homes searching for safety and food, haunts us every day. My son Bakr is constantly scared and suffers from severe malnutrition and skin diseases due to the lack of food, water, and sanitation.
Our beautiful memories.. :(
We urgently need your help. I am asking for your support to fund this campaign to move my family to a safe place, provide us with a proper home, and ensure we have enough food, water, and medical care.
Baker used to play with his dog.
Your donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in our lives. We desperately need your support and solidarity during this difficult time. Together, we can restore hope and safety to Ashraf and his family.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my plea. Your support means more than words can express. Together, we can turn a story of loss into a journey of hope and resilience.
With deepest gratitude,
Ashraf & the Family
Winter has arrived in Gaza, where my friend Ahmed is trapped with his wife and three small children, all under 5 years old. Facing the bitter cold as well as famine, this family relies solely on donations to their GoFundMe campaign as they are unable to work due to the occupation's siege and genocide. What's more, prices of basic necessities -- food, diapers, materials -- have skyrocketed, meaning they've had to use money saved for evacuation once the border opens to live off of.
Please don't let them do this. They need about $1,000 per month to be able to survive on and must retain around $35,000 for escape.
They are behind for the month of November. In order to get them back on track, we need to raise $75 per day for the next 10 days. This is an easy feat if we spread as much as possible and give what we can! Please help sustain this wonderful family until they are able to leave Gaza to safety.
Tagging for reach under the cut.

have to read the entire APA code of ethics for class this week… gonna make it fun by highlighting every rule that hannibal has explicitly broken.
This is Farah's 'GoFundMe' (she's not that far off from her goal :) ) -
You can clips of the situation people are facing in Ghazza that she's uploaded onto her Instagram handle - farah.n.ammar.
The entity delights in taking away these people's limbs, sight and dignity - the football players, the journalists, just every day humans.
Please boost and raise awareness.
What is your top 10 hotties from dramaland?
Oh you know I will take any chance to thirst over dramaland hotties. Actually ranking them is so hard though. This is one situation where I would want to give participation prizes for everyone. Everyone is a winner because they're so hot hahaha. But if I really HAD to rank them...
Zhou Yiwei as Xiao Qi in The Rebel Princess
Omg the thirst WAS REAL early 2021 when I first laid eyes on Zhou Yiwei in The Rebel Princess. Wheeeew, there was no shame at all. It's not just the way he looks but also the character himself that makes him my number 1 hottie. Ugh, the way he wielded all his big weapons and his long locks flowing in the wind as he rode in on his horse to save the day. How calm he was in handling everything except whenever it came to Awu or his men. OMG and his chemistry with Awu was just outrageous. It felt voyeuristic watching those two fall in love. I can go on and on and on.
2. Jang Hyuk as Dae Gil in Chuno
Omg Dae Gil, Dae Gil, Dae Gil. Naïve noble young lord who fell in love with a slave turned jaded fucked up slave hunter with amazing pecs and abs obsessively looking for the girl he fell in love with when he was 16. I mean, what's not to love?! That intensity that Jang Hyuk brings to all his characters is especially delicious here. Ahh and all the angst and pain and sacrifice ILOVEHIMILOVEHIMILOVEHIM.
3. Darren Wang as Wolf Boy/Prince Bo in The Wolf
SEX ON LEGS. THE END. I may have been even more shameless in thirsting over Wolf Boy than I was with Xiao Qi. Why isn't he number 1 then? Well, whereas Xiao Qi is wonderful husband material while still being a competent as hell general/murder machine, Wolf Boy is the hot bastard you meet at a sketchy dive bar who you take home for an ill-advised night of great fun. I don't know if being husband material makes you hotter but I guess for this list it does. I don't know!
Cut to save you from all the gifs. More thirst awaits behind the cut!
4. Chen Kun as Ning Yi in The Rise of the Phoenixes
THIS MAN IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SMOLDERS ONSCREEN LIKE HIS LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. So brilliant, so ruthless, so tragic. And when he lets his hair down?! Ugh, I can’t. The only reason why he isn’t higher is because he’s TOO BEAUTIFUL in a very untouchable way.
5. Kimura Takuya as Haru in Pride
Teenage me took one look at Kimura Takuya as Haru and went YES. He’s probably only this high because of nostalgia but WHATEVER. It doesn’t matter that Kimura Takuya is maybe 130 pounds max at any given moment. The jdrama told me he was an ace hockey player and I went “Yes he is!” This was peak jdrama romance for me. I mean a playboy who doesn’t believe in love falling in love with a traditional woman while fake dating according to the rules of his own game? Yes please!
6. Kim Moo Yeol as Hot Banker in My Beautiful Bride
I’m sure he has an actual name but I don’t know it because he’s always been Hot Banker to me. I’ve been to many banks, seen many bankers, and never in my life have I ever seen one as hot as Hot Banker. Talk about setting unrealistic expectations. Ooooof I love his one track mindedness in his love for his bride and never stopping until he gets her back...IT FEEDS MY SOUL. He also works out a lot and the drama makers were kind enough to show us his work out routine onscreen and bless them for that.
7. Ji Sung as Kang Yohan in The Devil Judge
Gay daddy Rochester does modern vengeance kdrama all while looking fucking hot and brooding in suits and loose blouses. Ji Sung is so daddy in this role, the state is looking for him to pay child support.
8. William Chan as hot masochist shifu in novoland pearl eclipse
Hot masochist shifu with a toxic homoerotic relationship with a psycho emperor whom you want to fuck. He’s THE hot shifu you want to fuck to top all hot shifus (or maybe in his case, bottom?). His character was as hot as the drama was messy/bad. OOF.
9. Jin Han as Feng Xi in Twisted Fate of Love
Hot bastard you want to fuck who only melts for his otp. My attraction to Jin Han is irrational and 100% hormone driven. I have watched so many crap/questionable dramas for this man. SO MANY.
10. Kim Nam Gil as Bi Dam in Queen Seondeok
Kim Nam Gil on any given day is worth thirsting over but especially with that long hair as Bi Dam. I mean come on, abandoned son of the antagonist queen who falls for the new queen/rightful ruler? The dangerous and cutthroat man with questionable morals who throws it all away for his otp and literally fights through an entire army just to see her again?! His character was totally made to turn me on! I couldn’t find any gifs to do him justice so please enjoy this clip of his last scene where he cuts through an army to reach his lover and falls just short of touching her before he dies.
10. Yoon Sang Hyun as Oska in Secret Garden
OG kdrama himbo with a heart of gold who turns out to be the best bro ever. He was such a hot dummy, even Lee Jong Suk’s snooty hipster songwriter couldn’t help but fall for him. Yoon Sang Hyun is such an underrated hottie, it’s a crime.
10. Cha Seung Won as Jo Kook in City Hall
Hot bastard you want to fuck who reforms himself for his otp and tries to be a better man for her. Cha Seung Won is already naturally so hot to me but add onto that his crazy hot chemistry with Kim Sun Ah? 🥵 They were so adult and it was so great. Special shout out to his role in Athena: Goddess of War for being the hottest evil bastard in that mess of a drama.
10. Jung Kyung Ho as Dr’s Son in Cruel City
Look, Jung Kyung Ho is as skinny as a bean pole but he was just so sexy and dangerous in this drama! Wheeeew and that love scene with Nam Gyuri.
Special Category: hottie not from an Asian drama - Uraz Kaygilaroglu as Kartal in Uc Kurus
Pictures don’t do him justice, his entire vibe as this character is so hot to me. You know you’re hot when you can make this monstrous bleach blond look sexy. I think Uc Kurus was my first foray into Turkish shows (it’s either this or Destan) and it was all because of Kartal. What’s not to like about a Romani mafioso who is perhaps on the wrong side of the law but is also someone who does everything he can to protect his loved ones and his community and is a bit damaged? He makes a very good case for slumming it!
Some special mentions that didn’t quite make the top 10:
Joo Won’s insane abs in Alice
Lee Dong Wook in anything and everything
Lee Soo Hyuk’s frequent flyer abs in The Scholar Who Walks the Night
Nam Goong Min’s everything in the first episode of The Veil
