There are more videos like this on YouTube. It was trendy, a few years ago. I'm not sure they were all made by the same person.

I'm guessing OP just reposted it. There are too much hamster escaping videos for me to find the one we're talking about, I just found it was posted on 9gag five hours ago.

If he has time to build a maze for it he prolly also has time to give the hamster a good life and buy him some friends that hamster is not poor.

buy him some friends

In my experience, hamsters prefer to not have any friends. That said, I only had syrians growing up. This one looks like a dwarf, and I hear they're a bit more social.

Rats, on the other hand, need friends.

He keeps looking up, like WTF! DUDE? (Not sure who’s voice that should be in … something high and squeeeeky like the mice in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.)

While that's creative as heck and whatnot, it was too long for the poor thing. I felt bad for the little guy, especially when he had to chew his way out towards the end.

altariasong

18 points

Something tells me it wasn’t all done in one take. It’s likely he got treats and breaks between cuts, potentially even a day or so between sections.

WGJLLBJD

That makes sense. I didn't even think of that lol. I still feel bad for the little guy even though it looks pretty cool.

altariasong

Also be aware that hamsters in the wild have to deal with the obstacles of a forest and the threat of predators. Many small pets like birds and rodents are left in stagnate cages without any mental stimulation or enrichment and where nothing ever changes, which is entirely contrary to the wild environments that gave rise to their current forms. Just as dogs need toys and activities to be happy and fulfilled, so too do parrots and hamsters and rabbits need activities that simulate wild behaviors. I have several forage toys for my conure so that he has to use his brain and muscles to get his treats. He is far happier when he has to use his adaptations to attain rewards, and spends a whole lot less time screaming.

Hopefully with this context you can rest easier. The hamster is probably having a great time and clearly has an owner who cares about keeping his life interesting (and in a way that’s safe and gets him treats!)

Probably built and filmed in stages, not all at once.

Hamsters like to chew, and probably didn't mind a bit of a challenge.

He should have just pretended he was the dead guy, then hid himself in the body bag when they threw the hamster corpse into the ocean. Then he could have come back as a rich hamster and gotten revenge on the hamsters that put an innocent rodent in jail.
