got a whole bunch of different kinds --
are hamster pellets.
Okay.
And, you know, there's a lot of different types

...and different nutrient packs
that go into the animal's substrate.

And this is one of my favorite brands.
So I'm gonna show you how this one works,

So that nothing --

Or wood chips, you know?

And I'll even that out nice.
Want to even that out a little bit?
Sure.
Yeah, that's great.
Good job.
Okay.
So, this is my favorite brand. Okay.
So, again, this is the one we're gonna try
and see how the other brands compare to it.
And we get this from China.
We actually re-label them.
They're not produced in the U.S.
Okay!
And this is what they look like.
So, they're just, like, a little, fuzzy pellet.
Okay?
Okay.
It's a hamster pellet.
And it gets buried into the substrate.
Okay. Mm-hmm.
Alright.
Okay, and once it's buried in there, what I do
is, I take a little bit of water,
and I find that five drops right over the area works best.
I think I just did a little more than five, but that's okay.
Oh, okay.
But that'll absorb into the hamster pellet,
and you just sort of give it a little shake,
and it will -- It'll actually sprout.
Okay?
Okay.
See? And it'll sprout a hamster.
What?!
Alright?
So, these work very quickly.
Wow!
Yeah.
You know, that way, they can ship them overseas
without having to worry about customs and things like that.
So, that's my favorite one 'cause it's so fast-acting.
