Animal House Tour! -Tyler Rugge and Maddie Smith!

[@Leaf321]

Emily: Calls three reptile rooms bonkers Also Emily: owns a zoo

[@shellyb2042]

And had an alligator bedroom for years lol

[@emeliemaisner1535]

I'm pretty sure her whole house was a reptile room. Like snakes in lower living rooms(garter)and upper plus(gekos and random snakes plus fish) the basement(hog nose and Cheyenne) Rex's room the green tree/egg closet like Emily you had a house zoo and now you have a zoo zoo. You precious silly bean.

Hi there I had a question did something happen with captain olimer’s tail? Or did he just have it curled up and I didn’t catch it

[@shirogane7106]

i love the piano and the studio ghibli posters in the bg in the beginning shot

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

You have a lovely family of critters! When you were talking about the Lily Whites, it reminded me of Manx cats. You shouldn't breed 2 manx to each other because it can result in such a shortened tail that it can result in paralysis and incontinence. I just love the on fleek lashes and derpy eyeballs of Cresties so it was exciting to see them!

[@tylerrugge]

It was great seeing you guys! You’re always welcome to come over whenever you want! See ya at Tinley 😜

[@Bmoore295]

Emily asking to see and hold an animal is like watching a little kid who is about to explode with excitement but straining to remain calm and polite. It is the best!!!

[@LittleBlueAngelDuck]

I really like when Tyler and Maddie handle the animals, Emily subtly shows her knowledge without showing off and overshadowing them, that's really charismatic and sympathetic. Also, Tyler and Maddie themselves seem really knowledgeable and humble.

[@Sophie-dd5xr]

Tyler: “Sometimes 2 ugly geckos make really nice geckos.” My brain: “Same for humans.” Sometimes 2 conventionally gorgeous people make conventionally not so gorgeous kids and vice versa.

To be fair she found new lizards, which she never seen or worked with, that's exciting even for expert like her

[@sarahawesomesauce3681]

@@existing6047 Believe me, it is in no way to be unfair. I adore Emily. It was more a commentary on the amount of space they had dedicated to animals, not so much her excitement over new species. The excitement was well earned, for sure! ❤

[@tiffanysandmeier4753]

@@KaitlynBurtonISaGOD I can acknowledge that metric is very logical, but because in school everything was in imperial measurements, it is easier to imagine the size of something in inches/feet/etc. For the most part I like metric, but I still translate them to what I am more familiar.

[@emilyrandall7006]

I have a crested gecko named Geku he had been in the pet store for a long time because he is plain brown and no one wanted him. I have had him for four years now and he is a amazing companion. We watch your videos together he always gets excited when you show other geckos!😂

[@themurrrr]

Today I learned Bunny speeddating is a thing 🤣🤣🤣 Smarter everyday Luv it

[@Cillana]

There are different techniques for bonding rabbits but it's best to have a brief first meeting to make sure they don't immediately hate each other and start fighting.

[@ettinakitten5047]

We did that with our dog and kittens at the SPCA. Wanted to find a cat who'd adjust well to a dog. We actually picked the one who hissed, though, because the others just shut down in terror and hissing is a better sign than shutting down. It worked, she took some adjusting but she likes the dog now.

[@Silver_wind_1987_]

That's so cool he was able to create a new sentence with those words how neat

That's neat that he's working with the pseudogekkos, they're such a bright yellow in pictures. The strophurus and uroplatus are awesome too.

[@evonwhenperishing]

While palmetto used to be considered a basic recessive, it has since been labeled as a incomplete dominant gene! The visual heterozygous form looks almost like a hypo - it’s very interesting! Only half way through the video, but figured I’d chime in before I forget to lol

[@crystalfranklin2583]

I love videos like this. I have only one complaint...I really get a kick out of the captions, but I really would love to see you guys increase the text size a bit and keep the captions on-screen a little longer, so I can actually read them. I NEED to hear what the animals are "saying" lol or at least what you think they'd be saying of they could actually talk.

[@LuckyStone888]

I enjoy Maddie and Tyler's content. I've been following them so long, I remember Tyler filming in his parents house with Mango. Great people, I'm so happy you're friends.

I love how the bird was dancing/walking in the background. It was sooo cute. It was also very funny 🤣🤣🤣

[@engeldraws]

Reminder that bunnies are very high maintenance pets and you should always get two because they are very social and need a partner for comfort. DO NOT buy one just because you feel like it, unless you can provide everything they need.

[@MaddieSmith]

Preach! Our rabbits probably take as much time daily as 20 or more reptiles!

[@engeldraws]

@@MaddieSmith I can definitely relate since I also have two buns. . . and while I love them to bits, they really need a lot of care and space,,

[@ettinakitten5047]

Yeah, always research the social needs of your pets. I've known people who have only one rat (when single-housed rats in labs are used as an animal model of depression because they're so unhappy) and people who group house hamsters (which hate each other and sometimes kill each other).

[@sarahbeaulieu999]

I could not agree more

[@kenna_c]

While I completely agree with the fact that they are high maintenance, I do not agree that you should ALWAYS get 2. I currently own 2 rabbits, both adopted, but i have tried and tried and bonding just causes more stress to them. Some rabbits just prefer to be one their own.

[@bugtalk84]

I must say, I really admire the beauty and intelligence of African grey parrots.

[@flickcentergaming680]

Yeah, my aunt's parents had one that was quite the character.

[@indulgentenhydra5997]

Love this video! This is not a critic of either Maddie or Tyler, but "g*psy" is a very offensive slur for Romani people. I completely understand if changing her name isn't possible, or if she was rescued with the name, but acknowledgement of that or a warning somewhere would be really kind. Romani still exist all over the world, and with almost 2.6 million subscribers, y'all are bound to have a few in your crowd. The rest of it was a blast and I love y'all's content ♥

[@jessicaconda4825]

Thank you for actually 'typing' the name. A few others mentioned that a name was derogatory but didn't indicate which bird it was, and I didn't catch the African Grey's name the first time. So I was very confused on how the Macaw's name was considered negative.

Having a rabbit and having tried to bond him with friends' and family members' rabbits for play dates, I'd heard of rabbit speed dating, but I didn't know it was a thing many shelters actually did! That's super cool that Otis got along with Olive so well. Things can be... very intense when bonding if they don't bond 😬Bonding is wacky and fun and you get to learn a lot about natural rabbit behavior and their social hierarchies, but I would MUCH prefer a pair that didn't try to actually murder one another. It IS funny to watch them try to shove their heads underneath each other's chins over and over in a shoving match to try to get the other to groom them to assert dominance though, LOL

[@Sammyc_013]

I have a bunny too. I wanted to try bonding my bunny with my friends for play dates but everything i read an was recoomended by professionals was not to bond bunnies unless you plan to keep both. So i gave up on the idea :(

[@kenna_c]

My 2 rabbits cannot be bonded. They both will fight and one of my rabbits being blind, it just doesn’t work out.

[@lizlilliman3644]

In horses we get lethal white foal syndrome where 2 overo breed. (They are coloured horses where the white is completely over the horses back, so no colour crosses). The problem is some normal coat colours like bay (brown with black mane and tail) or chestnut (gingery colour) can carry and pass on the overo gene. This is why if you breed to a coloured overo horse then you should gene test yours.
