Vanilla's content varied from time to time. His owner was widely known for making his videos in his mini DIY home that was made of wood, 100% small pet-friendly, or sometimes his owner would also make videos of him exploring his home whether it would be at the varied amount of locations his owner's house has to offer. Only sometimes, his owner posted random videos of him sleeping or drinking water.
His owner started posting DIY videos more often as of part-time during the channel's creation, mostly giving advice onto how to make the respective DIY foods, crafts, houses, objects, or in general; hamster-related surroundings. Along with that, at times his owner also posted review videos on several pet brands and how they sell their upcoming supplies to their customers, so his owner would make a assumption on a particular hamster cage or toys and if they are legit, giving their general opinion on it, and to make sure with people if they should buy them or not.
