Happy Habitats & Hero Hamsters: Small Pets, Big Innovation
In this lively episode of The Whisker Report, hosts Mary Tan and Alexandre Ricard—along with producer Mark Winter of Pet Life Radio—welcome a very special guest: Ethan Haber, aka “The Hamster Man” and founder of Happy Habitats. Ethan shares the inspiring story behind his award-winning pet innovation, the Halo—an ingenious small pet exercise ball carrier—born from a moment with his emotional support hamster, Mooxie. At just 26 years old, Ethan is changing the game for small pet care with support from his dad and top-tier design firm P9. Tune in as the hosts chat about how Happy Habitats started, earned media vs. paid media, and how entrepreneurs can use PR to get noticed—all while celebrating young innovation, international friendship, and a whole lot of pet love!
