Meet The Team


As a passionate animal lover, hamster enthusiast, and small pet care specialist, I initiated this website, HamsterGuides.com, to spread my knowledge and guarantee that hamsters everywhere have happy, healthy lives. I am aware of the unique needs of these endearing animals and the attention and care they demand.

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.
