Shannon found Steve at her vets office. He came from a zoo setting and was living in the dog kennels. Shannon made it her mission to befriend him and get him to a safe home. And that is exactly what happened. When she brought Steve home, it took her 3 hours to get him inside. But as the days passed he became more and more comfortable. He now gets along with his pig sister, all his little ferret brothers and sisters and his cat siblings. He now spends his days swimming, asking for cuddles and delicious food.

People are gross. Why even live inside a house. Put ur bed in the bard. You are discussing.

[@benjamindover5676]

Good luck and be careful. When male Capybara matures they feel the need to dominate and take over the pack. You may wake up to horribly injured or dead pets. I know friends who had this happen to them.

@@benjamindover5676 That's why it pays to have your pet spayed or neutered, as is recommended for *all* pets. Usually when you do that, it eliminates most of the problems. 👍

[@piteusx8440]

Don't feel bad. Steve has his pack ... even if it's not his kind. He appears content and well adjusted. That is not an animal that feels alone.

[@milascave2]

He has probably forgotten that other pacis exist, and has not concept of being the only one of his kind around.

[@mrt1957]

I am more alone than Steve. These people have given him a proper home where he is loved x1X

[@dad4ever-c90]

I think it's interesting that we humans think that WE are in charge. We merely cook, clean, and pay the bills. Steve is clearly the king of his castle! We are just the servants.

[@russojones2975]

❤😂 EXACTLY!!!

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Youre right! Animal companions are the true rulers of their homes, and we are just their dedicated servants. Steve certainly has a strong personality and a lot of charisma, and he has definitely made his mark on their household - we can see it! 😜

[@Okbuddypal]

The best part is that they're related to guinea pigs :)

[@nicholasmaude6906]

Capybaras look positively prehistoric, like something from the Eocene or Miocene.

[@heidibee501]

Steve is no doubt very happy with his life. Another capybara might be viewed as competition for all the goodies and he has plenty of friends of other species to keep him busy and happy. This is an amazing household. Thanks so much for sharing the fun.

Thank you for your comment! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed Steve's story and agree that he seems very happy with his life as a member of their family. While we know that capybaras are social animals and thrive in groups, they do their best to provide Steve with plenty of socialization and enrichment through interactions with his animal siblings and his human family.💚🤗

Poor ole Steve. He may not have other capybaras for company, but he really doesn't know any different, does he? And he has LOTS of other buddies and family for games, hugs and snuggles, plus he has his very own couch to snooze on and how many capybaras can say that? I'd say Steve is quite content with life. LOL! 💖

Thank you for your comment! You are absolutely right - Steve may not have other capybaras for company, but he doesn't seem to mind at all!💓

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

I believe Steve is happy. He loves the smaller animals, as though they were baby Capybaras. Yes, other capies would be best…but we all do not receive ideal original families, and most of us must make the best of life. He is very well loved, and he is happy.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🥰🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻💋💋🇺🇸🌸I am wondering: has his new family ever shown him a standard rat?

[@Pe-S]

Capybaras are such magical, goofy lovely creatures. I just love them. 🥰

[@foreverealm]

Aw! (The wheeking cry sound is one I have only heard from babies, when they are crying for their mommy to find them. He must think you are his mommy, after all. If he feels isolated or wants assurance in the night that he is safe and not lost from his herd. Thank you for being so kind and making room to love him. I am convinced you have made the complete difference, and he can have a happy life now. Even if he is the only bara.) The water is their favorite thing, so it is a relief he had a pond. What a loving family. Capybaras are not a cheap pet. The vet specialist care, the diet.. is $$$$. And they are made to be in a family herd. So it is a major commitment. It is heartwarming to see how well he has adjusted snd how caring this family is.

Oh my goodness, he’s gorgeous! Why can’t we have capybaras in Australia? 😢😢😢😢 He sounds exactly like a Guinea Pig! 😅😅😅😅

All that Australia needs is another invasive species.. :) They breed quite rapidly. Crocodiles and Alligators do see them as prey but I would guess little else would in Australia.
