  • After having a couple people reach out to me about this channel I decided to look into it. Children's channels really need to stop using animals for views in their videos or be promoting the proper care of the animal.

    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.

    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.

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.
