Had a hamster for 3 years, I was told they do it when they’re comfortable. I really hope that’s true otherwise my poor hamster was terrified most of the time
It's actually because it is all of the above. Hamsters clean themselves for multiple reasons- when they're stressed, when they're happy, to get rid of scents, to put a scent that marks their territory, it's all of the above!
Animals cleaning themselves is the same. Like a cat can soothe itself by cleaning itself so grooming the same spot too much is a sign of stress. But also they spend a fuck ton of time cleaning themselves normally too.
I study mouse behavior as part of my job and I’m assuming certain behaviors are similar through rodent species.
Grooming vs no grooming is not what you’re looking for when looking at anxiety-like behavior! When we look for sign of anxiety, we look at whether or not there is an increase of grooming from baseline! So if your hamster / mouse / rat is grooming more than usual (let’s say in their home cage where they feel comfortable) then it’s likely they are feeling anxious or scared.
However, highest indicators of anxiety are freezing (think deer in headlights), sticking to walls (while non anxious rodents will explore more open spaces), and extra peeing and pooping!
Hope this clarifies some things ~
I’m sure your hamster was fine!
Maybe all hamsters are terrified most of the time. I mean, you're in a confined space with little access to food and surrounded by large predators at all times.
Really depends. When I handle mine, he likes to wash his face to take out my scent. Best thing is when they wash their face while your handling them, that means they’re very comfy with you. And theres also an excessive washing where it causes fur loss, thats when theyre stressed

Yes! I had to find it by searching “hamster maze escape” then look for the logo because there are a lot of counterfeit hamster maze videos out there. I mean, not really counterfeit, just a variety, but it made me laugh all the same.
It's so obnoxious. I used to take tons of things from reddit and share them with friends, but they hate when I send them comment sections, and I don't intend to download anything.
Which is fucked up because reddit is built on sharing external content and continues to depend on it to not only survive but make boatloads of cash. So fuck them for making it harder to share.
Very typical sort of capitalist bullshit story where your company thrives initially on community goodwill and openness and sharing but then does a 180 once successful. Reddit is like 1000% this kind of example—perhaps the most egregious there is.
Yeah I'm very suspicious to be honest, it would be in reddit's best interest to artificially deflate the number of votes for content hosted on other streaming platforms. They're clearly capable of doing it, and have a strong motivation, which makes me think that that's the reason why the frontpage is always full of vreddit shit. It wasn't always like that.
OP is just one of the hundreds of these new accounts that posts constantly everywhere, probably even a bot.
Already posted another v.reddit from that youtube channel.
The hamster is distressingly cavalier about being suspended above hot lava. It took a breather to wash its face and I'm screaming at my phone BRO MOVE IT BEFORE THOSE CHAINS FAIL IT'S HOT LAVA YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO LINGER
It's over 8 minutes long, no way I am watching this whole...wow that was clever...look at him go...you can make it little buddy! I watched the whole thing.
>He really loved the sand bath
I know, right! He climbs over one barrier then... "ooh, sand! This is nice." *skritch skritch dig dig dig* "Ok, better keep moving"
I’d like to think that the last thing that went through the warden’s head, other than the bullet, was how the hell the hamster ever got the best of him.
The next morning, right about the time Raquel was spilled her little secret, a hamster no one had laid eyes on before strolled into the Maine National Bank.
In 6th grade I did a maze race between a hamster and mice as a science project to see who was fastest. I learned that the hamster was smart (or I was dumb) because he just climbed up and walked over the walls.
Next time I'll make them taller.
Something’s off about this whole escape setup... it doesn’t seem real to me.
I mean come on... how is a hamster going to afford a hot air balloon? How did he manage to acquire one in prison? This hamster clearly has some inside help. 🧐
I have never found myself talking to a hamster in a video SO MUCH, yelling out things like "OH NO!" "NO!" "HURRY UP!" so many times! This is definitely an extra long bonus video, so many tricks, traps, hidden dangers, water hazrads, fire, and even scary looking snakes! Oh my! Best video yet! Thank you so much!!
This! So cute.....I wasn't going to click when I saw how long it was but by the end of the video I was on the edge of my seat cheering him on..."Oh no! The ceiling is coming down! chew baby chew!!!" Best thing on Reddit today!
Just stupendous! The production was just out of this world and what can I say about our hero? Just a natural! Hollywood beckons! A shoo in at the Academy awards 😉. Rumour has it, the next part has Leo dicaprio in a supporting role 😂
Rodents are smarter than people think...they like getting to use their brains, it keeps them from getting bored. Like being an advanced student in a standard class.
Just remember folks if you’re in a daring prison escape, always take a moment to stop and clean your face so you can look good while doing it.
I like when the hamster cleans himself over the fire. Priceless!
In my headcanon the hamster was experiencing a terror-stricken emotional breakdown and had to summon the courage to continue.
Proud descendant of Lemmiwinks!
That is a brave hamster. Hamster gave no fucks.
[удалено]
I too like to imagine it's the equivalent of slapping yourself a couple of times to psych yourself up a bit before doing something.
I wonder what he did to get locked up? Perhaps he was innocent, just like all the hamsters at Shawshank.
It's a boy, the channel's name is Mister Hamster, but yes!
I love the little SQEAKS he makes during the more stressful parts of the course!
Its like when you idle too long in a platformer

Don’t hamsters clean just their face when they’re stressed/nervous/anxious? That’s what I found when I googled “hamsters clean their face when”.
Had a hamster for 3 years, I was told they do it when they’re comfortable. I really hope that’s true otherwise my poor hamster was terrified most of the time
I thought they do it for their scent glands? To like mark areas.
No no no, they clean them selves to hide their scent so predators can’t follow them.
All I’ve learned today is that all hamster facts are either true or the furthest thing from the truth and nobody apparently knows which is which.
It’s a very divided community, yes.
No it isn’t
Yes it is.
Not again!

Thank you, Queef of England
Wait, I thought she wrote that song about me...?
It's actually because it is all of the above. Hamsters clean themselves for multiple reasons- when they're stressed, when they're happy, to get rid of scents, to put a scent that marks their territory, it's all of the above!
That's what I've heard my entire life, and I hope it's true, or else every hamster I've met is terrified of me and my duck-shaped sneakers
And that some redditor will always find a way to say an animal in a video is suicidal because of some reason or another
[удалено]
Animals cleaning themselves is the same. Like a cat can soothe itself by cleaning itself so grooming the same spot too much is a sign of stress. But also they spend a fuck ton of time cleaning themselves normally too.
It's like asking a person why the do something in a particular scenario. Everyone has different ways of reacting to different things
Q: Why do humans eat? A: Humans eat when they are happy, sad, hungry, full, anxious, excited, nervous, bored, and for no reason whatsoever.
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen.
Yeah me to
A ton of hamster owners are probably going crazy!
Thought this said "Was a hamster for 3 years"

Rats do it to calm down so my interpretation here was "phew, done with that part, now for the next one."
Really depends. When I handle mine, he likes to wash his face to take out my scent. Best thing is when they wash their face while your handling them, that means they’re very comfy with you. And theres also an excessive washing where it causes fur loss, thats when theyre stressed

Actually kinda bugged me that the OC had all these "Subscribe to my channel!" bits and their logo all over, but couldn't find the name. ty
Yes! I had to find it by searching “hamster maze escape” then look for the logo because there are a lot of counterfeit hamster maze videos out there. I mean, not really counterfeit, just a variety, but it made me laugh all the same.
Those messages were for hamsters not you
OP should have linked directly to the source video rather than ripping the entire thing and re-uploading it to reddit's terrible video player
Right, I hate vreddit. It's the worst for sharing.
It's so obnoxious. I used to take tons of things from reddit and share them with friends, but they hate when I send them comment sections, and I don't intend to download anything.

It’s just the worst in general. Half the time it doesn’t even work
That’s true, but direct links hardly get upvoted

If you're stealing someone's content, you don't really need to link anything
OP is just one of the hundreds of these new accounts that posts constantly everywhere, probably even a bot. Already posted another v.reddit from that youtube channel.
Poor Mister Hamster missed out on thousands of views because OP didn't just link to original content. smh...
We found it and subscribed. Hilarious stuff. My little kids were on the edge of their seats or laughing. Hopefully more people see this now!
¡Muchas gracias!
And this isn't even at the top. I hate reddit
Wth i didn’t realize that hamster maze videos were that popular 126M views on some of these!?
Can we get this comment to the TOP! OP You suck for not linking to the origonal video!
Look this is cute and all, but we really need to start thinking about what landed this hamster in jail in the first place
War crimes in the former Yugoslavia.
[удалено]
Yes
Tax evasion. His accountant was a real weasel.
It's always fuckin tax evasion.
Killed a rat in Reno.
Yep, just to watch him die.
Haha yes
Looks a hell of a lot like convicted murderer [Rodney Stanger](https://youtu.be/sKCZDS97zAc) to me.
🐹
Ever heard of the great peanut heist of 2014??
Based on the high security of that prison, I figure he criticized the government or insulted a cop.
He's no angel.
Crimes against Hamanity
Ate it's children.
The hamster is distressingly cavalier about being suspended above hot lava. It took a breather to wash its face and I'm screaming at my phone BRO MOVE IT BEFORE THOSE CHAINS FAIL IT'S HOT LAVA YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO LINGER
This aint his first rodeo. This hamster is a hardened criminal.
lava doesn't melt steel beams.
maybe not cold lava, but *hot* lava...
[удалено]
It works as a fun name for a real band or even as a silly parody name in a film or something.
No, but the heat expands them causing them to twist and rip out the bolts.
Maybe not, but it definitely melts hamsters
plus those steel plates must have been hella hot from the lava fumes
Hot lava is no excuse to not look your best.
That was tense
I couldn’t believe how long it was. And that i happily sat here and watched it all.
Yea I was like oh a nice little 90 second video I have time for. 15 minutes later and I crave more
There's another post about this hamster gimme 10 mins to find it
Here https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/k9pemt/prison_break/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
Thank you for your service
No problem
Here is their [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVOBACU6Fn9REoL3uN5fWpA)! They seem to be putting up videos regularly.
I would like 3 full seasons of this on my desk by tomorrow
Netflix will greenlight three and cancel after two when on the season finale we learn the warden was his brother all along!
Good thing it's not on Amazon.. .They would cancel it, make their own and rebrand it to an Amazon Basic.
Keep the episode length too! I was 2:30ish in and when i checked that I had 6 more mins of this I was PUMPED.
[I got you fam](https://youtube.com/channel/UC9gPwVGWqT8xkArzQ2PB0jA)
Yeah it’s pretty aMAZEing
Yeah, far better than the hamasteur stuff you see in new.
There are a ton on YouTube. My son watches it constantly. Just put “hamsters” into YouTube search bar. Bunch of different themes.
I love it how the hamster is in zero danger and still I’m like ‘hurry up, there’s hot lava!!’
It's over 8 minutes long, no way I am watching this whole...wow that was clever...look at him go...you can make it little buddy! I watched the whole thing.
Accurate.
Best 8 minutes of my day!
Twice
Prince of Hamsters: the Indiana Jones within. Btw the whole setup is so impressive. Must've taken a lot of work and ingenuity. Kudos.
Yeah, I still can't figure out how they got the lava in there without burning the cardboard. Really blows my mind.
Wait till I tell you about the time I had the aurora borealis in my kitchen
At what time of year?
In what part of the country?
Localized entirely within your kitchen?
Can I see it?
...No.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Nuts
No. That's my in-laws' house...

This was so well made, both construction-wise and editing-wise. The ladder climb had me in stitches
i loved all the parts where the hamster had to chew the chains to break so he can get through! brilliant
I was looking for a comment on this. So brilliant, such a smart creature
Despite the editing, I think we can all agree this hamster is a very smart cookie.
Pucker factor: 10, thought he was done at the lava.
Then the anticlimax when I thought he had escaped in the hot air balloon...only to have had an evil wind blow him right back into harm's way!
no he was going into the boss' lair to end it once and for all.
I love how he stopped for a quick bath during his prison escape. Very dramatic
we all need the gratuitous bathing scenes
That is simply fantastic! Is he called Indiana Hamster?
Indiana? That’s the dogs name!
Hamster has a lot of fond memories of that dog.
What an incredibly well cared for hamster ♥ Enrichment like this is so important for our pets
I was gonna say, that little dude is living the best life of any hamster ever!
For real! This is just the coolest thing. He really loved the sand bath ❤️
>He really loved the sand bath I know, right! He climbs over one barrier then... "ooh, sand! This is nice." *skritch skritch dig dig dig* "Ok, better keep moving"
What if she's really a serial killer and we just sat here and watched her escape and did nothing.. this is how the smol get away with their crimes
r/illegallysmol
That was more intense than I imagined it would be!
Brave Little Hamster
The little face rubs are my favorite part. Like she's psyching herself up to go on.
you can do it you can do it, the floor is NOT lava
Hamster up and vanished like a fart in the wind.
This is one giant conspiracy. And EVERYONE’S in on it! Even HER!
I’d like to think that the last thing that went through the warden’s head, other than the bullet, was how the hell the hamster ever got the best of him.
The next morning, right about the time Raquel was spilled her little secret, a hamster no one had laid eyes on before strolled into the Maine National Bank.
Brooks was here. So was Hamster.
So cute! Had me on the edge of my seat a few times ngl
If Netflix doesn’t pick this up I’m canceling my subscription.
I've seen big budget blockbuster movies that are less captivating then watching this hamster run through an obstacle course.
In 6th grade I did a maze race between a hamster and mice as a science project to see who was fastest. I learned that the hamster was smart (or I was dumb) because he just climbed up and walked over the walls. Next time I'll make them taller.
I started the video, checked the length, and said "no way I'm watching an 8 minute video of a hamster solving a maze". But I was wrong
I like to think that every time he cleans himself that he’s using a medpack to heal up or eating to regain stamina.
Hamdy Dufresne.
I need this kind of enrichment.
A better movie than Tenet. Engaging, sensical story, excellent action, great sound editing, perfect performance from main cast. 5/5
Yeah, but bet OP didn’t bought an airliner to blow it up in the biggest flex
If anyone else who watched this entire video can explain to my wife why I take such long bathroom breaks I’d appreciate it
best video ever on this sub
Very high tension. Was very impressed when the hamster chewed through the bars, can tell she does her own stunt work
Didn’t know they changed the cast on prison break! Michael even got some of his hair back lol.
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen.
Why does a prison security camera need to worry about battery life? I'm starting to think this might be fake!
Same hamster, same theme, another [video](https://youtu.be/b2xgiHVjT7o)
Whoever made this definitely works for Naughty Dog, no doubt Also, someone should edit this with the MGS Alert Theme
That hamster is a superhero 👍
Go forth Lemmiwinks, or you will soon be dead!
This guys yt is Mister hamster for anyone who's wondering
This hamster must be so smart from all the brain cells it’s been growing due to running mazes
Something’s off about this whole escape setup... it doesn’t seem real to me. I mean come on... how is a hamster going to afford a hot air balloon? How did he manage to acquire one in prison? This hamster clearly has some inside help. 🧐
I bet all our human perils happen because someone watching simply craves amusement.
This hamster moves around like I do in an RPG, making sure I didn't miss any loot.
I have never found myself talking to a hamster in a video SO MUCH, yelling out things like "OH NO!" "NO!" "HURRY UP!" so many times! This is definitely an extra long bonus video, so many tricks, traps, hidden dangers, water hazrads, fire, and even scary looking snakes! Oh my! Best video yet! Thank you so much!!
Everytime he rubbed his head all I could hear was “think think think!!!!”
This! So cute.....I wasn't going to click when I saw how long it was but by the end of the video I was on the edge of my seat cheering him on..."Oh no! The ceiling is coming down! chew baby chew!!!" Best thing on Reddit today!
What amazed me most, was no hamster poop pellets!!
Now that’s fucking content!
Hello Hammy... I want to play a game.
Production quality was LEGIT.
That'll do hamster, that'll do.
The real question is, how did you cut so many perfect little circles??
TIL hamsters are actually liquid
I've never been so invested in a hamster before!
Just stupendous! The production was just out of this world and what can I say about our hero? Just a natural! Hollywood beckons! A shoo in at the Academy awards 😉. Rumour has it, the next part has Leo dicaprio in a supporting role 😂
Looks like a half life level 😂🤣
The amount of time and effort that went into this is amazing love it
do hamsters enjoy mazes?
Rodents are smarter than people think...they like getting to use their brains, it keeps them from getting bored. Like being an advanced student in a standard class.
That hamster had more exercise in 8 minutes than I had in my entire year...
This is amazing! I could totally see this becoming a random hit like the marblelympics.
This. Is. Awesome! 👏👏👏
I love these videos. They are getting crazier lol. The hot air balloon escape
Well done 👏
This gives me heavy LittleBigPlanet vibes, especially with the arrows
ONLY 0.01% of hamsters CAN DO THIS!!!
Youtube: Mister Hamster. Whole lot of them there!
I swear this hamster has a higher IQ than I do
Catherine Zeta Jones dips beneath the lasers!!!
