Meet The Team

At Hamster Guides, we’re not just a website; we’re a community dedicated to making hamster care easy and enjoyable. Join me on this adventure, where my experiences meet shared wisdom, creating a welcoming space for hamster enthusiasts worldwide.

Collin Reigns Founder & Lead Editor

I’m Collin Reigns, the founder of Hamster Guides. With years of experience raising 9 hamsters across different breeds, I have developed a deep practical understanding of their specific needs, from nutrition to enrichment.

I launched this platform to bridge the gap between complex veterinary advice and daily pet care. By combining my hands-on experience with the medical expertise of our veterinary team, I strive to provide the most reliable, safety-focused resources for the hamster community.
