The fact that Soda had to explain that frogs aren’t vegetarian is appalling.

I'm kind of scared for the "dwarf" and "short toe" axolotls because their pudgy appearance looks somewhat cute...which means some unscrupulous breeders might try to breed them on purpose and popularize them to people who don't know better and we'll end up with salamander equivalents of pugs with all sorts of nasty health issues.

It’s appalling how KZfaq punishes Soda for reacting and spreading awareness about abuse, but the people who are doing this stuff get absolutely no reprimands.

Here’s the funny thing about frogs, plant eating frogs do exist, although they are a bit of a rarity Although you might not see a frog eat a vegetable, you may just see one eat fruit, seeds and flowers in the case of a species like Xenohyla truncata. It’s no vegetarian however, more of an omnivore as it does like to munch on the occasional insect, much like their more famous cousins. I know this guy probably didn’t know about this or is it a “true vegetarian” frog, but hey, I saw an excuse to talk about frogs so I took it. Amphibians are just that awesome!

You heard it here folks! Don't give your axolotls Stress Coat! Just give them fancy mayonnaise!

there's a yt channel called "FROG EAT" that forces the memetic "Wednesday frogs" to eat all sorts of live things such as wasps and octopus and even each other and while live feeding is a common thing this one just seems to do it unecessarily for entertainment

"Vegetarian Frog" fucking sent me💀

I don't understand how can somebody mistreat such unique creatures they are close to being instinct so we should try keeping them alive as long as we could

When soda stands up for innocent pets, it makes me really glad and it’s very educational. US AND SODA VERSUS THE PET AB*SERS!

how tf can people be so bad at owning pets

Thanks for what you do Soda! The abuse going on in the pet community is just downright stupid and needs to be stopped! I've gotten a lot of helpful axolotl advice from you and I want you to know your an amazing person! My little albino axolotl Kirby is living his best life thanks to you and many other helpful people in the hobby! I saw the thumbnail and I'm wondering wtf pet owners are thinking. THEY ARE NOT DISPOSABLE TOYS!!! >:O

How do people get the idea to get a certain type of pet without doing any research on the animal beforehand? Like, you get a pet to take care of it.

The "the axolotl probably survived off the algae" reminds me of the time when my friends had ladybugs and fed them bananas. Also even tough it's not very healthy, starving animals can go against their natural diet. For example: Pandas! They are carnivores, but for one reason or another, eat bamboo

Frogs using a long tongue to eat flies is literally a stereotype, who the fuck would think they’re vegetarian. Some people just shouldn’t have pets, get that person away from the animals.

Man these people should neverget pets. How can you f up so much you have a frog smother you axolotl to death! This is just so infuriating. I think breeders and pet stores should make it so you have to prove you have the right setup.

I loved you 'talking' Tofu into singing a more pleasant sound haha. Hearing your thoughts and opinions on these were interesting and informative, and I look forward to seeing more from you soon!

Side note about age restrictions, you might find you have a lot less EU viewers on videos like that, We're forced to give over our ID to google to watch age restricted videos, no matter what age the account is set to. And a good chunk of us just refuse to do that

That guy with the frog and axolotl was *probably* a troll if they're so consistently going "but *insert insanely stupid thing"* in response to everything when their axolotl is mfing dead.

I never knew about these creatures until I saw Soda.. how can someone mistreat such cutie patooties 😓

Tofu bonking after you said "congrats it's a boy" was totally him clapping without hands

You and other "controversial" pet youtubers are AWESOME! You're doing amazing things for the pet-keeping community. Keep doing what you do and never feel the need to sugarcoat abuse!

As a new found axolotl owner. This hurt my heart to see. To raise them up to that size…it is such a long and intensive process. As a baby I did 100% water changes in their small container, feed them a rotation of frozen thawed invertebrates 2-3 times, and spot clean poop and any brine shrimp remains probably 4 times a day. Such a disrespect to the animal and the breeder who most likely grew them out.

That is just plain wrong! As a herpetologist this makes me furious! Especially the fact they are torturing frogs AND axolots!

I laughed when she said "do they know what carnivore means" 🤣. It's funny because it's true 🤣

Maybe avoid saying the word "Ab**e" in your videos? The robots look for words before anything else, and maybe some image recognition. But a machine can't really tell if an animal is in pain or not. Dancing around the word doesn't sound fun but it might keep your vids safe from the skynet that is this platform.

Tofu was channeling their inner goblin. Super cute

Off topic but I love your bird’s cover of September. Should be on Spotify 😌

9:05 my sister in christ you could not have made that warning any fucking scarier LMAO

Uh oh.. This ain’t gonna be good.. Please take care of your axolotl’s properly!

Thank you Soda for teaching us pet care and facts!!

VEGETARIAN?! Have they ever seen the stereotypical frog eating flys even in cartoons for gods sake 🤦🏼‍♀️

I've found that axolotls are very good at sniffing out the pellets I use. The worms, not so much, lol. Those have to practically smack them in the face before they figure out exactly where it is 😂

3:34 got it, do NOT PUT aioli sauce on your axolotls * furiously taking down notes *

Your cockatiels always make me smile. They have such cute little voices.

Seeing a toad in an environment like that hurts me. Side note, I will verify Frogs get very frisky sometimes. My dumpies are all male and love to cuddle together.

I went to a pet store once and found a poor axolotl in a BOWL and the water barely covered it 😭 i couldn't help it but it looked so sick! I can't believe people treat animals so badly

when it said “frogs are vegetarian” I couldn’t stop laughing!! 😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 LIKE WHAAAAT!???!

"it has aioli" worst misspelling ever I've seen that isn't even remotely close xD

My aunt has an outdoor Axolotl she keeps the pond warm because she put snake heating rocks under the pond when building it (these are a specific brand where she has a remote and can control the temp of them I’ll try to find the brand). His name is gale and he is thriving

I love to see that you have more than just one bird, a big voliere in the bg and multiple buddies with unclipped wings. Thats such a rare sight nowadays! Really approve your content. I used to have cockatiels by myself. Smart goblins. xD Keep up the good content! :) Greetings from Germany

Tofu is a precious chaotic boy and I love him.

My little atlas definitely comes up for his food he loves to swim and chase it in the tongs 😍 he doesn't even give me a chance. The second the tongs hit the water he comes straight up! He's in a 40 gallon breeder to himself, so that gives an idea on how hard he works for it 🤣

PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR PETS AND DO YOUR RESEARCH!!

I love the contrast in how soda says "congrats, it's a boy" in response to a picture of an axolotyl's ween(?) after that monstrosity of that previous post

Hi soda! I have a dilemma :( my dog won’t stop chasing his tail and it’s becoming a huge problem My puppy is eight months old and last month he became fascinated with his tail. He chased it frequently and I know dogs tend to chase their tails but wit my dog it got worse. Over time, he started to chase it more and more. When he catches it, he starts chewing it and he’s been ripping the fur out of it, it looks really uneven. We took him to the vet and mentioned it and she said he should grow out of it, but to still try and get him to stop, and if it gets any worse then to bring him back to her. Then he started doing it even more and yesterday all he did was chase and chew his tail, only stopping for food. It’s gotten to the point where the end of his tail is almost completely bald and he’s even made it bleed, and pretty badly too. I’ve suggested a cone to my parents multiple times and they just won’t listen, they just say it’ll stop with training. We’re trying to train him out of it. It’s not working. My dad thinks he’s the master dog trainer (he’s really not) and still hasn’t taken him back to the vet and my mum always takes his side. Every time I argue, my mum tells me to ‘stop trying to be a dog expert, it’s annoying’. I’m really worried about my puppy. If anyone could give me some advice I would be very grateful. Love your videos, you’re one of my idols.

The warning for the dead axolotl made me scream of fear lmfao

Tysm for what you’re doing Soda!! I luv Axolotls the most and i feel so horrible for those poor animals getting harmed. I feel so bad for them I hope you’re doing well Bye

Love these reddit reactions she needs to make her own community

"Congratulations, it's a boy :)" thank you, that got me lol

"Congratulations. It's a boy." That one had me rolling XD

I love your videos keep it up!

"Congratulations its a boy" And now I know the difference between a boy and a girl axolotl I learned something new today XD

I love every video you do, but always happy to see more positive videos, hoping for some more happy ones soon 🙌🤞

I love axolotls and it honestly breaks my heart how ppl get them just bc they look cute but don’t know how to care for them I rlly want one but I don’t have a lot of knowledge on how to treat them if something goes wrong so I’d rather not get one until I learn more

KZfaq: sees murdered ponies:: it's ok just take out the sound. Also KZfaq: EDUCATING PEOPLE?! THIS ISNT KZfaq KIDS GET OUT OF HERE WITH UR HELPFUL EDUCATIONAL ADVICE AND VIDEOS

3:27 ROLF IM DECEASED ☠️ 🤣😂

“Frogs seemed to be vegetarian” Bruh, nearly all amphibians are carnivores in their adult form. Frogs (and axolotls) may be small and cute, but they are built to catch and eat smaller animals alive.

Tofu so funny! Thanks for posting another great video💖

How many times do they need to know? To house an axolotl you would most likely need(or would prefer to use) 1-a good filter(i would recommend a sponge filter) 2-a good tank that is cleaned once a week 3-things to keep the axolotl occupied/happy(such as tank decor, a big tank to explore, hiding spots ect) 4-last but not least as far as i know, its good to house them alone so they dont get snacked on by the other axolotls, and yes ik axolotls can sometimes not snack on each other Thank you soda for calling all of them out

Thank you. r/axolotls is crazy. I try to help everyone there and some people are just bitches, won’t listen. I remember this frog one. I tried to tell them “You shouldn’t be keeping axolotls with goldfish in a pond” and OP is really rude about it.

Ok, the "Congratulations, it's a boy" along with the top comment "That's hims balls" was the much needed laughter I needed after the abhorrent pet ownership that was the previous post.

That one OP is just: “it’s my axolotl and I’ll kill it if I want to”

A FROG WHAT

i love that chrirping part at the end i almost peed myself

My friend betta fish just died and they wondered why, I keep telling them that it’s because their in a 3 gallon, with a bad filter, no heater, no bubbles, toxic gravel and kept with like 4 mollies in a 3 gallon! I kept telling them that’s it’s not big enough but they don’t change it and they wonder why it’s dying!!!!

The bad pet owners hurt my soul so much+

I rolled at “congratulations its a boy” 😭😭

My bird loves to watch your content

you scared the crap out of me with the music you put on the trigger warning

and I KNOWW most of those people could atleast do a little bit of research.. I know they have the time to get a axolotl so why cant they just search up information...

I recently got got my own pet mouse that I named Nutshell, watching this video really makes me want to give him the perfect life he deserves, thanks for all that you do. Also he poops whenever he tries something new, is that just hime being nervous or something else?

Quick start works good

question for anyone to answer! My birds are extreamly picky (Their original owners sold both for only 5$ (They couldn't take good care of them, and their children where hurting them so I was able to get them for my bd)) They only eat seeds and spinach. I tricked one of them in trying a strawberry and they didn't see it as food and spat out the taste. If I try to feed them anything they run away from it. They drink a lot of water becouse they aren't eating watery fruit and what not. (refill every week, they drink about a large spoonfull a day) They don't even want to try going near food I am eating.

Do wild axolotls have a hard time eating in the wild then, or are captive breed axolotls just especially dumb?

Sometimes I worry I'm not giving my axolotl good enough care and attention. This makes me feel better

Could you do a Video that talks about good beginner pets? I am having a really hard time deciding what I want to get, and I think it would be very helpful!

"...otherwise it would be dead by now" "It f&#$ing is dead"

Hey soda, can you please review the KZfaq channel “real life” or channels like them? They feed their bullfrog & turtles live hamsters- like 5-10 at a time. They also feed their frogs other frogs, even sometimes other bullfrogs/pixie frogs/tree frogs. Some of the hamsters in their videos have previous injuries like missing limbs from being kept in a small cage together. It is just an unbelievable amount of cruelty and their channel needs to be taken down.

Help Soda, I've been watching too much horror, I keep seeing bad ones saying "behead it"

I really want a axolotl but I’m paranoid that I’ll kill it or hurt it so I’m watching all of sodas axolotl videos till I trust myself

i love your videos

Me like mabye half a month or so away from gettying an Axolotl “soda pets I’m coming for you!!”😂

And most kids buy axolotls because of Minecraft, sad but true. They beg their parents and then get one without knowing how to care for them.

I love that your birdie copied your little song and then just went back to screaming 🤣

Random redit user: frogs are vegetarians Random fly at 12:14 : AM I A JOKE TO YOU?!

I hope that Axolotl is in a safe place now 😭😭😭

tofu sounds like he's trying to bark at the end lmao,

r/mice is a fun subreddit. No one is really sure if it's a sub for pet mice, wild mice or computer mice lol.

I- Frogs are widely known to eat bugs And the first thing on Google you'll find if you look up a frog eating in images will be a frog doing its best to eat a full on mouse

Thanks to you I walk around my house doing bird whistles 😆

6:54 I agree and I wish it wasn’t true (this is why even if I did become a vet I would make it clear I’m not euthanizing animals, my emotional state is too sensitive for that)

yuki really said it's singing time, huh?

3:42 tofu barks xDD

I love this channel I had a beautiful bearded dragon named Charlie. I was kicked out of my house by my parents and can't take care of him. My little brother is going to take care of him now. And I know he will be okay but i miss Charlie everyday. This channel just reminds me of him so I like it

where is that pet store that kept axolotls in gravel

8:33 i thought 10 babies seemed much

Welp, you heard it here folks, flies are now vegetables since frogs are vegetarian.

Hey Soda. Im a new fan. You should upload the videos that youtube blocks or age restricts to another video site like Rumble. I bring it up because you shouldnt lose revenue over this. I would leave a link in the description to your external channel. That way you can make videos raising awareness without youtube messing with its up time. you can make a community announcement on youtube with the link to the video. I think animal cruelty is horrible. Im glad you talk about stuff like that and I dont want to see you get censored for important messages so if you talk or feature something you feel youtube would take down, I would maintain another channel outside of youtube. I know its a pain but it could be a good way to keep your presence up if youtube decides to go nuts.

Sometimes soda reminds me of a vet the way she talks😂

I find it interesting that most of the comment section doesn’t use the phrase “Impulse buying.” It means the exact same thing as “People get the pet because it’s cute and did zero research” Very interesting… (I’m not calling anyone dumb for not knowing this phrase) I just see people use that these days instead of the whole meaning of Impulse buying they say impulse buying
