To anyone who comes across this video who is a fan of Slick Slime Sam. This is *not* a hate video, I do not hate their channel. I think their Craft, DIY and Science videos are wonderful for kids to watch and try. I'm disappointed by the channel because of their lack of misinformation they're spreading to millions, animals require special care which Slick Slime Sam could very well help educate millions on the proper care but they've done the opposite unfortunately and that needs to be talked about.
It’s insanely sad that videos like the one by Slick Slime Sam get millions of views while educational videos that promote proper care don’t get nearly as many. This channel is underrated.
My daughter will be turning 6 in a couple weeks and has been begging for a hamster for the past TWO years. This is largely because she is such a fan of Slick Slime Sam. The whole reason I'm here right now is because I've been researching how to properly care for hamsters. I'm so glad I found your channel before committing to our first hamster. If my daughter is going to get a hamster for her birthday she is going to learn the proper way to care for one! Thanks so much for all your informative videos!
Thank you for doing that. I wish my parents did this for me when I got my first hamster because over 10 years later I still feel bad about how terribly my hamster was cared for. We just did what the pet store told us to and didn’t know that we could do our own research. I’ll carry that guilt for the rest of my life and it’s great your kids won’t have to deal with that.
overreacting? my mind just fuzzed out trying to figure out how Tater Tot is even perceived to be able to fit on that wheel? I know nothing about rat care but I do know about physics. That rat is physically unable to fit on that wheel.
Yup! I've been researching rats because I really want one, and that cage is disgusting. Not to mention that it's on its own! These people should be called out for animal abuse. That cage isn't even big enough for a dwarf hamster, let alone a rat!
Ikr I dont own hamsters so I guess seeing the hamsters in those cages didn't affect me on a personal level as much (of course it's still horrible) but I have 2 rats and omg when I saw that cage, there's nothing in it except food and water, no bedding or toys or even a wheel or a hide, and it's way too tiny for tater tot AND there's only one rat and they're social so rats really need to be in groups of at least 2 or more
Guinea Pig Gurl I have 5 rats, and their vet carry cage is bigger than both of the ‘cages’ they used 😣 it’s actual animal abuse to keep the poor little guy like that!
@@sxlentgxcha1458 Urgh it just makes me so angry! There’s so much good information on the internet about rats now, there is literally no excuse to treat an animal like this when the information is so easily accessible. It’s pretty simple that rats need a big cage with lots of enrichment and a group of friends - breaks my heart :(
Im watching this with my rats chilling on my shoulder, at the exact moment the rat cage was shown, mocha stepped on my phone and went off the video, i take this as a sign.
Wow. They even turned off the comments for the rat video (I wanted to leave some constructive criticism), so no one can say anything. So glad I came over your videos first, my kids and I have learned so much from your channel! 🥰 (Yes, I'm a grown woman following your channel 😉)
I had a cousin who had rats (or mice, I dont remember), and it was the size of a large shelf and it was also tall. She had a couple, so they were social and had toys. This was just way too small for the rat.
Ava Tucker from what I’ve learned rats don’t need wheels rather things to climb on and play with my rats have never liked wheels and prefer just to climb
Ichabod El clown owner of 4 rats here . Female rats usually need wheels since females are normally more energetic it depends on the rats but my rats do use wheels .
Working K9luna as an owner of two males I guess it depends on gender because I tried a wheel but they never used it and perfered to climb on bridges and in their hammocks or generally play with me
It shows the rat by itself. They need to be in pairs. They show the hamsters together. They live by them selfs. I was thinking that exact thing right before she said it.
It makes me very sad that these channels with large followings are promoting this.. I wish they’d teach kids that animals aren’t toys and should be treated properly.
I found my daughter watching this channel and questioned it, having a hamster and thanks to you knowing how to care for her properly. My daughter enjoys the show while for me it kinda of hurt seeing a rat in a cage the size of it body. It just shows the importance of managing what your children watch
I know this is a bit late, but I think there's no saving grace for that channel, it's owned by the same company or publisher, that also did 5-Minutes Craft, so poor Hamsters and Rats. They wouldn't really care either way, regardless of whoever spoke up, unless it's the authority.
i started tearing up when i saw that rat- rats are a little out of my league pet wise, don’t want to deal with about $1000 vet bills for upper respiratory infections but *i would take that rat away from them in a **_heartBEAT-_*
Exactly! But I'm saving enough money for a Ferret. I want the family pet to be a Ferret, and I'll have to pay for some of their expenses... Probably not getting one though but I agree I'd take one in a heartbeat

for a ten year old, you're smart, too. i used to own rats, and hamsters as a kid, and now i only have one old hamster that i got from my cousin who decided to neglect it after it bit her for what she did to it. i know how to take care of hamsters, but tbh, i'm here because i just want to look at the horrible care people consider for THEIR hamsters
Pengwin Playz I know this bugs me soooo much I’ve been doing research all day until 3:00am and I’m saving up my own money ( by the way I’m 11 ) ugh 😫 this is annoying
Same with me! Except I really want a Ferret, I'm still doing my research as the days go by. I hope my parents come to an agreement where they could get me one, some people just buy pets without research, or do it without thinking all the responsibilities thinking they can handle it. And yes your comment is long but it's very informative, so thank you for that! Hope you're happy with your hamster and that you can treat them with all the care you can. I also hope I could get a Ferret, without my mom thinking they look like possums.. anyway I'll try to help her get rid of that image and good day to you (or night, wherever you live)
I’m just looking at the recent comments, and I am shocked. People can have their opinions, but Victoria Raechel does not make videos for views, she does it because she cares about hamster well being. She even explained that this wasn’t a hate video, and people are still coming after her.
Thank you 🥺 Unfortunuely most of those comments I do know are kids, and as a kid (as I once was one so I know pretty well) you can get defensive fast over something/someone you like.
How could people be so blind to the risks of having a hamster or small animal in a tiny cage .love that your are educating people on this topic 👍🏻👍🏻❤️🐹
Based on the comments on their videos they don't seem willing to change because they've been given plenty of advice and suggestions yet nothing has seemed to improve or be acknowledged.
Victoria Raechel i hate people like that! What should we do if friends (esp parents) don’t want to listen to advice... my mom always tells me to let things go but when I see animal mistreatment I speak up. Very few people take it well :( this might be a great topic to discuss in depth unless the only thing we really can do is let it go 😭
People who think Victoria is over reacting....she’s just saying the truth and learning people how to take care of pets..get me? Edit: .... I have to.. Thank for le likes UnU
When I bought my hamsters I was 9 and I kinda regret buying them don’t get me wrong i love them sooo much but I feel like they could have a better life but I have learnt from my mistakes and I still have them but in proper care while spending every penny on them 🥺✨
Did you see how the rat couldn’t even use the stair properly the cage was that small and that wheel is so small 😂 ty for doing this vid to warn people :)
This spreading of misinformation makes me so angry and the fact that these cages are even sold is insane to me. This is why I'm getting my zoology degree so I can have a better chance fighting for changes to legislations on minimum cage sizes that can be sold. Thank you for making these videos!
Hamsters are the bettas of the mammal world. Same thing happens with “betta tanks” that are TEN TO TWENTY TIMES smaller than their required tank size. Absolutely atrocious.
Something not pointed out is, the slime thing says; the hamsters are out of the cage! And the lady says; I let them out He says; Aren’t you scared they’ll escape??? She goes; They’ll be fine! Don’t worry! Ahem...if you let a hamster free where nobody’s paying attention to them they’re bound to escape, get injured, or even die smh-
Sarah Brown Yes in the video there is. My point mainly was that they’re influencing children, and if a kid thinks they can let their hamster roam free, that isn’t a good thing to teach children..
it is quite weird that they put an un-social animal (hybrid dwarf hamster) together and leave an social animal (rat) alone???🤨（Victoria already mentioned)
I’ve been a hamster owner for several years now and I’m new time rat owner and this video is absolutely devastating. I’ve done plenty of research before getting my rats and they are in great living conditions. I can’t believe they were keeping Tater tot by his or her self. AND THAT CAGE IS SO TINY. Praying for all of those animals
Thank you for spreading this video, I actually watched their video a while ago when getting my hamster and copied them. I’m so glad you are spreading awareness. My hamster wasn’t happy at all and now it’s thriving from me learning from your videos! Tysm, love your channel, it helped me so much.
@@VictoriaRaechel its literally common sense and using your eyes to see its too small being why i dont understand, and ive heard people give them advice so they definitely know whats wrong, so why wont they change? if its lack of funds then they shouldnt have the animals they have, if not then they are just stubborn which isnt good
I’m very happy with that!!! I see so many people who know their cage or care is wrong and do nothing about it. Thank you so much and I wish you and your hammy a good life!
I remember when I showed my mom one of your videos and she thought it was helpful. I've been watching a lot of your videos and you've been helping me help my hamster and make sure she's happy! I now have a list of hopefully healthy things for my hamster. You've been helping he a lot and I'm a fan. I have Subscribed and turned on the notifications! :D
I am in actual shock, this is not right for channels to treat animals like this. And the fact they put 3 hamsters in 1 tiny wire cage just made me mad.
Cool I'm a kid too! It's fun to research about hamsters (not by people who lies), I found some not needed info but I like cucumber slushie (just cucumber) even if it's unneeded
Me: reads title "sli........ Oh no here we go." I'm a child and I love hamsters but I was smart and looked up proper hamster research first O_o 100 likes Ty for the likes
When we first got our super cute angora hamster, Pet Smart recommended we get a little cage with a lot of tubes. We didn't know any better until we found your channel. Poor Hammie was always squished in the tunnel and bitting the bars of the cage. She got scabs around her mouth. We quickly got rid of that cage and bought her a big spacious one with only 2 levels which she loves. She is really relaxed, happy and healthy. We (me, little Hammie and the 3 kids) cannot thank you enough for your educational videos.
I was literally getting anxious watching this video. I'm a child (tween) and i watch your channel all of the time as a sorse of research for hamsters. You influenced me to wanna get one so that's why i've been doing research, once quarantine will be over i will hopefully get one.
That must have been rrly close BUT if you were almost gonna buy that make sure you do a double take for taking care of the hammy. No hate tho :) thank goodness u didn’t buy that

for a ten year old, you're smart, too. i used to own rats, and hamsters as a kid, and now i only have one old hamster that i got from my cousin who decided to neglect it after it bit her for what she did to it. i know how to take care of hamsters, but tbh, i'm here because i just want to look at the horrible care people consider for THEIR hamsters
Al Jawhara Gauder isn't that- illegal?
Pengwin Playz I know this bugs me soooo much I’ve been doing research all day until 3:00am and I’m saving up my own money ( by the way I’m 11 ) ugh 😫 this is annoying
Same with me! Except I really want a Ferret, I'm still doing my research as the days go by. I hope my parents come to an agreement where they could get me one, some people just buy pets without research, or do it without thinking all the responsibilities thinking they can handle it. And yes your comment is long but it's very informative, so thank you for that! Hope you're happy with your hamster and that you can treat them with all the care you can.
I also hope I could get a Ferret, without my mom thinking they look like possums.. anyway I'll try to help her get rid of that image and good day to you (or night, wherever you live)
I’m just looking at the recent comments, and I am shocked. People can have their opinions, but Victoria Raechel does not make videos for views, she does it because she cares about hamster well being. She even explained that this wasn’t a hate video, and people are still coming after her.
Thank you 🥺 Unfortunuely most of those comments I do know are kids, and as a kid (as I once was one so I know pretty well) you can get defensive fast over something/someone you like.
How could people be so blind to the risks of having a hamster or small animal in a tiny cage
.love that your are educating people on this topic 👍🏻👍🏻❤️🐹
Thank you!
It's weird with cats and dogs they treat em more as pets but with hamsters some people treat them like toys...
Who else is gonna go to slick slime sam’s and tell them about your reaction and hope they lEaRn SoMeThInGs
•Softly Boba• same
•Softly Boba• beacuse that will totally do sO MuCH
I'm going right now
The DareDevil I don’t care
•Softly Boba• I already did 😂
She’ll never see this video because she doesn’t do research 🥺
Based on the comments on their videos they don't seem willing to change because they've been given plenty of advice and suggestions yet nothing has seemed to improve or be acknowledged.
Leah’s Little Critters omg ikr
It’s sad when u see the replies to which part of the cage is your favourite so many ppl like it and plus her subs and views of course
Victoria Raechel 🥺
Victoria Raechel i hate people like that! What should we do if friends (esp parents) don’t want to listen to advice... my mom always tells me to let things go but when I see animal mistreatment I speak up. Very few people take it well :( this might be a great topic to discuss in depth unless the only thing we really can do is let it go 😭
When I saw the thumbnail I knew I was gonna regret watching slick slime Sam.
People who think Victoria is over reacting....she’s just saying the truth and learning people how to take care of pets..get me?
Edit: .... I have to.. Thank for le likes UnU
FrFr she only says these things because she actually cares about these animals and she cares about there well being
Not me.
iiFlxrel she’s over reacting a bit tho..
Yah but still she's overacting
Dzareena Subhy Binti Kamarul Bahrain no she is not
Some people: tHe PeT sToRe CaGeS aRe JuSt FiNe!
Me: tHeN yOu Go LiVe In OnE, mAyBe yOu’Ll FiNd OuT wHy YoU dOn’T uSe ThEm!
I wouldn't let me child put a fish in a tank that small
XD
I got a syrain ham
EXACTLY. IT'S LIKE PUTTING YOURSELF IN A VERY SMALL ROOM.
The size of there whole cage is the size of my smallest travel cage for my pet rats lol
When I bought my hamsters I was 9 and I kinda regret buying them don’t get me wrong i love them sooo much but I feel like they could have a better life but I have learnt from my mistakes and I still have them but in proper care while spending every penny on them 🥺✨
@•ericcaa• 5 YEARS!?
@@bigblackballs6969 mine lived to 4 lol
Bless you you care about your pets you deserve everything you want and need my Cusen had 2 hemet crabs and 1week in one died😔
Did you see how the rat couldn’t even use the stair properly the cage was that small and that wheel is so small 😂 ty for doing this vid to warn people :)
When I saw the rat in the cage I thought my eyes were broken
Your pfp is godly
That “upgraded” rat cage is the size of the carrier for my boys. This is sad.
Nice your taking care of your children
The rat was bigger than the whole cage itself ..
This spreading of misinformation makes me so angry and the fact that these cages are even sold is insane to me. This is why I'm getting my zoology degree so I can have a better chance fighting for changes to legislations on minimum cage sizes that can be sold. Thank you for making these videos!
that's the exact thing the world needs!!
Hamsters are the bettas of the mammal world. Same thing happens with “betta tanks” that are TEN TO TWENTY TIMES smaller than their required tank size. Absolutely atrocious.
Something not pointed out is, the slime thing says; the hamsters are out of the cage!
And the lady says; I let them out
He says; Aren’t you scared they’ll escape???
She goes; They’ll be fine! Don’t worry!
Ahem...if you let a hamster free where nobody’s paying attention to them they’re bound to escape, get injured, or even die smh-
And you’re sure no one was paying attention? There’s a camera on it.
Sarah Brown Yes in the video there is. My point mainly was that they’re influencing children, and if a kid thinks they can let their hamster roam free, that isn’t a good thing to teach children..
This is so sad. I know nothing about hamster care, but I do know the care in her turtle video was equally as bad.
it is quite weird that they put an un-social animal (hybrid dwarf hamster) together and leave an social animal (rat) alone???🤨（Victoria already mentioned)
Victoria: I'm gonna go take a nap now. bye.
Me: MOOOOOOOOD

I’ve been a hamster owner for several years now and I’m new time rat owner and this video is absolutely devastating. I’ve done plenty of research before getting my rats and they are in great living conditions. I can’t believe they were keeping Tater tot by his or her self. AND THAT CAGE IS SO TINY. Praying for all of those animals
I built my own, huge large wooden box, with a upper platforms and a “basement” like room
That's great! DIY cages are some of the best cages!
Sounds so cool 💕
THE RAT GAGE IS LIKE A SHOE BOX POOR , POOR TATER TOT :(
Thank you for spreading this video, I actually watched their video a while ago when getting my hamster and copied them. I’m so glad you are spreading awareness. My hamster wasn’t happy at all and now it’s thriving from me learning from your videos! Tysm, love your channel, it helped me so much.
I hate how people treat LIVING, BREATHING BEINGS as toys.
this world is f cked up
Jade Dalaska I agree
Jade Dalaska truee
I feel like you had to lie down for a while after this video...
Even my HAND would be to big for that wheel!
oh my god- how would someone who did even 0 seconds of research not realize how small that wheel is for a rat? genuinely confused and concerned
I honestly do know :(
@@VictoriaRaechel its literally common sense and using your eyes to see its too small being why i dont understand, and ive heard people give them advice so they definitely know whats wrong, so why wont they change? if its lack of funds then they shouldnt have the animals they have, if not then they are just stubborn which isnt good
I’m only eight but I did weeks and months of research before getting my lil hammie
@@manhelahmed8423 me too
Me: scared of hamsters and pets Me now: *gets pets* me a momma now :)
M.E
When I seen the rat in that cage I was in shock !!!
Why do they have cages like this it’s like they don’t care 😢
@Ahhh Lol When I saw that there was a reply I guessed that u would say that lol.
I am a 21 year old male, is it normal for me to like hamsters
I don’t see why it wouldn’t be
It's completely fine anyone can like animals
Yup :]
It’s normal
How is it not normal? 😂
When I got my hamster my dad said to buy that cage that it was fine but I told him it actually isn’t so I got a better cage
I just realized my hamster's cage is 407 square inches and I'm going to upgrade....
Ok
I’m very happy with that!!! I see so many people who know their cage or care is wrong and do nothing about it. Thank you so much and I wish you and your hammy a good life!
It wAs tHeN aT tHAt MoMenT ThaT vIctORiA ReaLiZED GOT MEEEEE DEADDDD HAHAHAHA
its a cute channel for kids but the cage literally made me stress out just seeing it
It definitely is! I think their DIY, crafts and science videos are something they should stick to.
SINCE WHEN DO PEOPLE FIGURATIVELY STRESS OUT
I remember when I showed my mom one of your videos and she thought it was helpful. I've been watching a lot of your videos and you've been helping me help my hamster and make sure she's happy! I now have a list of hopefully healthy things for my hamster. You've been helping he a lot and I'm a fan. I have Subscribed and turned on the notifications! :D
Thank you for subscribing!
@@VictoriaRaechel Hi!
@@VictoriaRaechel hi
Victoria: IT'S STRESSING ME OUT!!!!
me: ITS STRESSING ME OUT TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I am in actual shock, this is not right for channels to treat animals like this. And the fact they put 3 hamsters in 1 tiny wire cage just made me mad.
I'm a kid and I'm 7 years old and I'm I did the research
I'm glad you did! Not many young kids do!
@@VictoriaRaechel thx
Cool I'm a kid too! It's fun to research about hamsters (not by people who lies), I found some not needed info but I like cucumber slushie (just cucumber) even if it's unneeded
@@VictoriaRaechel wait other kids don't do there research
imagine that a 7 year old is capable of doing more research than an adult! good on you bro
I feel so bad for her😭 this is probably torture to her
To who Suzy
If your talking about the hamster, he doesn't know any better
Me: reads title "sli........ Oh no here we go."
I'm a child and I love hamsters but I was smart and looked up proper hamster research first
O_o 100 likes
Ty for the likes
SAME!!!
I have done all my reaserch on this channel. Now all I have to do is keep my room clean for a long time and I can get a hamster. So same
why is there a me:
Good
@@originaluseername it means it's her/he saying it
This makes me really sad about how many people mistreat these animals. Thank you for busting misinformation!
It makes me sad to think that people have cages like this for their hamsters and are influencing other people to do the same 😔
The 1k dislikes are from angry slick slime Sam fans and animal abusers :(
Yes im a slick slime sam fan and i was very sad when they bought a bad hamster cage
Rats are definitely social animals, and I used to have a cage for mine that took up most of my living room, they need loads of room height and width
When we first got our super cute angora hamster, Pet Smart recommended we get a little cage with a lot of tubes. We didn't know any better until we found your channel. Poor Hammie was always squished in the tunnel and bitting the bars of the cage. She got scabs around her mouth. We quickly got rid of that cage and bought her a big spacious one with only 2 levels which she loves. She is really relaxed, happy and healthy. We (me, little Hammie and the 3 kids) cannot thank you enough for your educational videos.
Even my gerbils have a wheel that should fit Honey
The “Lé Sigh” got me 😂😅
I was literally getting anxious watching this video. I'm a child (tween) and i watch your channel all of the time as a sorse of research for hamsters. You influenced me to wanna get one so that's why i've been doing research, once quarantine will be over i will hopefully get one.
Giving the rat a cage that small is like adopting a child and keeping it in the smallest possible room
when it says one minute ago 😎
Victoria: oh no the cage needs to be a ***minimum*** of 450 sq inches
Slicky Slime Sam: OMG this cage is so big the pet store says large yay
Omg that is so cruel. Especially to the rat omg I feel so bad 😩😣
Slick slime sam: *treats hamster like toy*
ALSO SLICK SLIME SAM: * treats pink weird squid glob with eyes like literal human*
When your rats' litter tray is nearly the same size as the floor space of this rat's cage, you know there's something wrong
They put these poor animals in worse conditions than US inmates. Omg
Omg just in timee😭😭 I was gonna decide on getting this cage. Oh lord halleujah💯🙏
That was to close!!!!
That must have been rrly close BUT if you were almost gonna buy that make sure you do a double take for taking care of the hammy. No hate tho :) thank goodness u didn’t buy that
“Squid slime little dude”
Nice XD
