Reacting to my Subscribers Hamster cages! pt 2

After being asked many many times to make a part 2 I finally was able to make one! I'm sorry if your cage was not featured in the video going through 350 cages took a while to do and so I was only able to pick a few cages to react to. Please keep in mind these people CHOSE to send in their cages because they wanted my constructive criticism. Giving someone constructive criticism​ is not putting them down it's helping them to improve.

Please remember constructive criticism is what helps others grow, if no one ever told you what to improve on you never would get better at something. Also, keep in mind constructive criticism does not mean bullying the other person into taking your advice, its fine to leave advice on someone’s enclosure but if they disagree, politely say thank you and move on. Unfortunately, not everyone is going to want to give their hamsters proper enclosures but that doesn’t mean they should be bullied. Some people may have to take some time to save up for a new enclosure and that is okay. PLEASE BE KIND TO OTHERS IN THE COMMENTS AS WELL! I don't put up with rude comments.

Guys. This is CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM! Why send in your cages if you expect her to say “this is perfect” for every single one?

[@CelesticCF]

That's exactly why. People know their cages are too small but want Victoria to say it's perfect, so they don't have to do anything about it. I think people think Victoria is so nice that she won't tell them the truth or that she's afraid of hate on her channel. Luckily that's not how she is.

Actually i think people send them to help then improve their cages more , and some say they want to prove their parents on getting bigger cages by having an expert critisis it :> but thats just my opinion

Hey Victoria I know that this is random but my sweet little hammy Muffin passed away last night. I went to fill up his water bottle and I found him laying down in the front of his tunnel. He usually sleeps out of sight to stay warm so I immediately knew there was something wrong. I took him out of the tunnel and wrapped him in his blanket ( the same blanket I used while taming).but he wasn't moving.he gasping for air but there really wasn't much that I could do. It was 10 pm and all the vets were closed.So I just held him in my hand close to my chest until the gasps stopped. I love him sooo much and I miss him sooo much . Muffin was my first hamster ever . He was at least a year and 4 months old but I'm not sure because he was adopted.I'm devastated and I really don't know what to do. Luv u❤️🐹😢😰

As soon as I heard "critter trail" I was ticked off.

My hamster died last night in my hands and I’m heart broken..... this video popped up on recommend.

If you watch this channel you might want to listen to it and not give Your hamster a small cage

[@stefruiz9198]

I'm not planning to get a hamster, but I'll watch all this videos just in case

[@maryb8905]

I used to have that little tiny blue cage. But after getting the correct information from people online, my hamster now has a huge two story bird cage and is much happier :). Thank you for educating people!

[@VictoriaRaechel]

That's great you upgraded!

When I was four, my mother had a 700 inch wire cage with 7 inches of bedding, and probably 50 feet of tubing leading to other cages and tow areas. It took up a room and a half.

[@giamendez6939]

I had a add for the beginning and it was Billie dinging “I love you” I obviously listened to it

[@simonthesiamesecat5274]

I need to be honest, the cage with the yellow bottom was waaaay too small. It hurt me to imagine a Syrian in there.

[@breana1079]

When I got my first Syrian hamster I actually had the first cage shown in the video. After I had watched a few videos from Victoria Reachel I up-sized to the IKEA Detolf. My hamster was much much happier and she very rarely had stress. I also had a 6 inch wheel for my hamster but i up-sized again on an 11 inch wheel. I added toys in her cage and lots more fluff. I felt a lot better about the cage!

[@user-hx8ee9ly3q]

Omg i loove the ending part cages,, soo many amazing cages It warmed my heart 💕💕

[@juwon4775]

Love this video Victoria! You should make this a series! Xoxo From another hamster owner

[@VictoriaRaechel]

Thank you! I know people would probably enjoy that but I do get tired of filming the same thing over and over and it does end up becoming repetitive

[@hitomimirgh4217]

I'm so happy bc I have been able to provide a cage of 985 sq in to my hamster and it's hand made. She's my first hamster I've had and I can give her a good home all thanks to your vdos as they're so informative. Thanks Victoria!❤️❤️

[@audrey4759]

I’m getting my hamster in about two and a half weeks and the more I watch I just get more excited and the more I feel like I could make such a better home for them than these cages lmao

[@thatbitchxoxo1809]

i used to have the first one before i upgraded to a bin cage. it stressed my hamster out a lot 😬

[@bhum2608]

i haven’t had a hamster in about 6 years and all i can say is that i’m glad that i decided to do research before getting another hamster. your videos definitely helped me a lot

[@finley6161]

I hate how some people watch your videos and still don't give their hamster the care they need. It just shows that they know what they're doing is wrong but they still do it anyway.

[@jjovanovac2]

Well true but maybe they just don’t have enough money

[@finley6161]

True, but that's no excuse. If they don't have enough money to care for a hamster, they shouldn't get a hamster in the first place.

[@lexipalmieri7358]

UXVlc3Rpeb24 gTWFyaw exactly and then you have some ppl saying “oh I don’t have enough money or space to upgrade”, it’s like why’d you get it in the first place?!?! 😂😂 sorry ab that

It still amazes me how many people send in pictures of TINY cages and they watch ur channel x

[@andrielisilien]

At least they are asking for criticism to do better. 😐 Everyone starts somewhere and getting it ALL right the first time is overwhelming. Pet stores sell so many lies to customers with information and products. Go volunteer at an animal shelter with hamsters. Those poor babies get tiny bare cages.

[@kayleighquinn6721]

@@andrielisilien Why are you copy pasting comments lmao. If they watch victoria they should of got a suitable cage in the first place.

[@andrielisilien]

@@kayleighquinn6721 to tell everybody to stop gaining up on people who are trying to learn. There are young teens watching who's parents don't believe them that need proof, there are people in eastern Asia and other countries that are far behind on info. Pet stores give out false information that customers take as proper care without knowing better. You think everyone has had the experience and exposure you've had. Do you think you would take comments like your own to do better if someone said them to you?

[@kayleighquinn6721]

@@andrielisilien I have not had any experience with hamsters before, and before I got my 1st one I made sure to do my own research rather than listen to the pet store. And yes, I would listen if people told me to improve, because I would do anything to make my hamsters life better. And, you don't need to do any research to just tell by looking at the size of a cage compared to the hamster that its too small. Same with wheels.

[@pdciptawarna]

Acrylics ik im late but i agree with Andrielisilen as someone WHO live in Asia hamster care is so way back. 20 hamster live in one 1 galon tank . And hamster Stuff is a Pain to get cause it expensive and hard to find. But i still have a hamster and ik my cage is only 210 Inch but thats the best i can do. I give them some toy and take them out.

[@C6Wolves]

9:05 Bear in mind even if you do have 4 inches of bedding there needs to be space for your hamster to burrow in this bedding and you should have 5 to 6 inches of bedding in a space which is not cluttered in a large amount of things which is dedicated for burrowing.
