My first time meeting Brillo the armadillo - • I got ATTACKED by an a...

[@no-jb8kp]

condolences for your loss gabbs! it took me almost 6 months to get over " Iggy" . he was an iguana i rescued while doing electrical work at someone's house. he was completely malnourished , living in filth , abused by 2 families for the first couple years of his life. it took almost 2 yrs to completely turn his attitude around to the point of hand feeding , he no longer attacked myself or my cats and became the sweetest guy ever . his diet was super on point, heat in the room went from 80 at ground level to about 90 under lights. humidity 50% . he had an entire room to himself. had him for almost 5 yrs when his health very rapidly declined due to kidney failure. I brought him to tufts animal hospital where he stayed for 3 days . because of the first couple yrs of abuse he had MBD and crystallization of his kidneys. I took him home excited to see him and roughly 3 days , 1400$ later , he died as we were rushing him back to the hospital. my heart broke ! I didn't want this animal to begin with, but I couldn't leave him at that house to die. I turned his attitude around 180 , he had everything he needed including ALOT of love . but the damage had been done. it took me 6 months to not cry thinking about him as my animals are my children ! he was beautiful and my buddy! loved him so much ! so I feel you gabbs ! I'm glad you guys are back in wish you both a happy New Year !

[@unsocialbutterfly5760]

I think you guys are amazing ❤ The internet can be ridiculous when it comes to hating on you for something or anything for that matter. Your armadillo is super cute and I’m very happy for you. The amount of bad owners out there, you guys certainly deserve to choose your pets and pay for them, bugger the haters. You will look after this armadillo better than 95% of people who own them. Super cute and super cool, in Australia we have very cool animals too but I’m jealous you have an armadillo. I’m a wildlife carer and vet tech as well and I have an enormous amount of animals in my home too…all rescues except for one and of course orphans I care for that will return to the wild when they are old enough to care for themselves. Keep up the great work!

[@lindaw5766]

You two are special ! The care and love you have for these animals is truly God sent! Merry Christmas and a Happy Prosperous New Year to you both! Don’t listen to the haters cause they are unhappy ☹️ people and jealous of your special ability 😍

[@teddywaldo8685]

He is Truly Adorable. You Two have a Beautiful Life with all these Animals May you Continue. It all comes down to Love and Caring. All the very Best.

[@JessicasAnimalFriends]

So happy to welcome Tiki home!! You put in the work that guaranteed his future and I’m grateful ❤

[@ellemarr7234]

My heart warmed seeing this baby leopard gecko go to your home ❤❤❤❤

[@justb4769]

Omg he is so cute! Glad to see you guys! So sorry about your feather baby! I'm so happy you finally got your dream animal and y'all deserve it! no one should ever say anything bad about you two. Y'all are the best animal parents and an inspiration for all of us.

[@twodogstudiomt]

Omg Olaf!! And Theodore!!! Oh guys, I’m so so sorry about Lucky. It’s so hard to lose these babies. I honestly think it’s a stronger bond than human to human because there’s no talking that gets in the way of the connection. We get it, and so so sorry honey. 😞

[@jonblaze2634]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for giving lucky the best life possible

[@steffiekensley8743]

So sorry for your pain, Gabby. What a good bird mom! Yes, that sounds like a little PTS, which is normal after losing a family member. Glad the avian experts were reassuring to you. What a cute armadillo! ❤

[@donnawootton5578]

You two are amazing. Thank you for sharing and educating your audiences. I am a new fan from Sacramento, CA

[@irmawesterback2930]

Nice to see you both. I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year🎄☃️🌟💖

[@waltermaples3998]

So Happy to see you both. ❤.I have missed you. I hope you have a Merry Christmas ❤

[@kathoakes929]

So sorry about Lucky. But you should be proud that you gave him a good home and he was well looked after by you both. God bless you. Congratulations on getting Rambo he is amazing.

[@eli92]

Loved the armadillo. I want a couple of them ( never have just 1 of anything) I just need to learn more about how to take care of them. So precious. You both are amazing souls . Bless you for being so kind and having such a big hearts. 💯🌹🫂😘

[@kiki29073]

Love that you re-home birds. I will be setting up areas in my home and getting some empty cages to start re-homeing also. When I am ready I'll advertise with different channels that I'm available in the South East.

[@denasewell]

My heart goes out to you Gabby I know this is an old video from several months ago but the love you had for the bird was touching our animal companions are family and the bond bird people have with their birds is profound and special. Birds are winged beings that choose their humans! That screaming hairy armadillo is so adorable! I am glad he is in good hands with you..often people get super cool exotic pets when they are not educated on how to care for them properly. Can you do a video on how to properly care for armadillolike Rambo? I will be sure to start donating monthly to your rescue! I subscribed!

[@ismewhat1234]

It's always good to see a video from you guys both of you do good things🙏 till next time bye 👋

[@juliaboeck8110]

So sorry to hear about lucky, Rambo is adorable omg I was giggling the whole time you guys were holding him, best of luck on everything you both do, you truly deserve it!

[@cherieb.5409]

I love how she keeps talking about Brillo 😍 so happy to see you posting again 🐢 I think it's awesome that you got a animal you have been wanting he's so cute 🥰

[@marybeth4518]

If more people were half as passionate about their animals as Gabby was Lucky this world would be soooo much better.

[@DeeLTFL]

Best wishes for you to find the perfect house and property for a great price. We love seeing your lives and your love for animals.

[@lindadubberly2458]

❤❤❤I'm so sorry sweet girl !!! Bless your heart i understand they get in our heart's!!!!

[@adamthomas4638]

You guys are special people with huge hearts cause you guys are just people living in a pets house not the other way around it must take a lot of work also so bless y'all

[@jonblaze2634]

Hello from Hershey Pennsylvania. Thank you for everything you guys do for the critters out there

[@susielarkin4254]

Hi William, she is beautiful! You’re doing a great job raising her. Love the channel keep up the good work 😊

[@heartlandreptiles]

Really glad to see you both back! I’m so sorry to hear of your loss! At least you can rest knowing you gave him the best life possible! Your armadillo is adorable! You all are wonderful, nothing wrong with having an animal you want! Especially with how responsible you all are!

[@carinajolierouge]

I like that you specified that an armadillo isn't a good pet and why it is okay for you to have one. 😊

[@MCrvngraddip2013]

Omg that armadillo is beautiful 😍 so cute. 😆 I too am in love with Brillo haha. I sent a small donation over from the UK. Love your work and appreciate both of you.

[@KarabethMayla]

The world needs more amazing nice people like you ❤ you guys are amazing, and don’t worry I will be definitely watching every single one of your videos❤ I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas😁🎄❄️ Love from Kara🥰

[@OneWingedRose]

I actually just discovered your channel the other day lol, been enjoying watching your older videos and learning about all these american wild animals. Didn't know you'd disappeared for a while, hope your computer problems stay in the past! Thanks for all the educational and fun videos!

[@DM-lc2cf]

You guys love animals, take the time, have experience to take care of them. You take the time to explain about them, and everything isn't always "fun" doing rescue work. I know nothing about exotic animals, but as long as you can take care of them, don't exploit them, provide education to those who are interested, who can critical? Best wishes for the New Year!

[@sreace723]

Brillo will be so jealous! 😉 Rambo is adorable and I can't wait to see him grow up!!! I'm so sorry about Lucky. Losing an animal is so hard. Happy Holidays!!

[@Angelface11]

Omg the scream..so cute. And I've heard people in Texas treat armadillos like vermin..so odd how beautiful amazing wildlife is ever treated anyway but with care and kindness. They're so special.

[@cobrachic93]

You guys are gonna need a warehouse with all the animals lol. Glad to see you and your doing well. Love you guys and all you do!

[@sirsimonthesentry4787]

Sorry about Lucky. I used to babysit a Sun Conyer, fantastic bird. He too died suddenly. I was so sad. I loved spending time with him. If I every got a bird, that is the kind I would want. I can appreciate how hard that is.

[@ashleyhall284]

You guys are awesome. I've learned so much from the both of you. I tell my kids everything. They love animals

[@amandapierce9266]

Love everything you guys do. Please keep posting. You are doing my dream job!!!!

[@kymberlysteiger8125]

I missed you guys so much! I’m so freaking excited you are back! Rambo is the cutest little guy, I’m really happy you were finally able to get him. I saw Tiki’s unboxing on Jessica’s channel, he couldn’t be with a better person! Jessica is absolutely amazing 🤩

[@stillstymied]

Nice to see you both. So so sorry about your bird, he lived in the most wonderful home for birds and you made him the tastiest bird food every day. Take care, Gabby. And I always love your manicures.

[@toriam15]

Rambo is so adorable 🥰

[@darshnarach8889]

Y’all are amazing! Love all your animals. Sorry people are jerks.

[@foxybrown3857]

My family and I just moved to Florida 3 days ago, and I've been on a mission to see an armadillo! They are soooo cute!!!! I think it's amazing what you two do for all those animals too.

[@susancarr8998]

Please be careful. Armadillos can transmit Leprosy Disease to humans who touch their skin or faeces.

[@jenn1234]

Love you guys and what you do........screw the haters! So sorry to hear about your bird. I know in my heart you guys did everything you could and that you take excellent care of all of the animals at your house. Good luck with the new house.....I hope you find/found an amazing property so you can have the sanctuary that you want and deserve. I give monthly and I wish I could do more and I know exactly where it is going and the good it is doing. Take care and I am glad you will be putting out more videos! 😄💙🐬🐊🐍 Happy Holidays! 🎄⛄️🎅🏻🤶🏻🎉

Thank you both for all you do, I love your channel SO much! I hope and dream of someday getting to do the kind of work you two help so many animals doing!! For now I can live vicariously through you and support your endeavours in the small ways I CAN for now, even if it's just a like and a comment. Wish I could subscribe more than once! And I am so so very sorry about Lucky, he was such an AWESOME and sweet bird, I always LOVED when I would get "lucky" enough to see him in videos.❤ He was so loved and adored by all of us out here and I know I speak for everyone when I say he will be missed and remembered. We were indeed truly lucky to admire Lucky and his adorable soul, thank you for sharing him with us. ALL my love to you and your big beautiful family of all kinds.💗🤗✌

Keep up the wonderful work you're doing ♥ Merry Christmas and love to you from RichKat Ranch ♥

Glad you guys are back, Great work you do rescuing and saving animals...!!! Thumbs UP to all the work you guys to for, WildLife

[@lindawinchester2642]

Glad you are back!

[@charleslowery4518]

I'm So Sorry about Lucky !! I Really know how you Feel , because I Lost My Eleonora Greater Sulphur- Crested Cockatoo ... ( Candie ) She was My Girl !! Unconditionally the best love that I ever had she showed me more love than any person ever did.. she was 17 years old when I rescued her and I had her for over 10 years.. I don't think I could ever replace her ,but if I could ever have a chance of rescuing another bird like her I think I would jump to that so please keep me in mind if something comes up with any animal I want to start rescuing turtles too I love all animals thanks for all y'all do you're too wonderful God blessed people.

[@christinamedina3364]

Missed you guys. Glad to see you’re back. 😊

[@blip-2024]

Haters are going to hate...as hard as it is, try to ignore them. Rescuing animals or buying animals does not matter as long as you care for them properly. Captive bred and born is AWESOME!! Unfortunately "rescue" has become a bit of a buzz word. I adopted/paid for an 8 week old puppy from our local SPCA. She was born at the shelter, never knew a day of discomfort, never missed meals or medical care. When people say how nice it is I rescued her, I actually correct them. Rescued her from what? She was doing just fine before coming into my life.

[@charlottehudson2261]

I think like the line is between rescue/pets like you and Chris have vs the Tiger King style zoos that's are so prevalent in America and that places like that don't look after their animals and are more concerned with making money than people like you guys where animal welfare comes first and foremost. I think for a lot of people they cannot make the distinction. So glad you're back on KZbin and look forward to your next update. Xx

[@DebbieCandiloro]

I love birds. So, the cockatoo is my favorite. Haters going to hate. Some people have issues with everything. Keep up the good work.

[@melissadanielle629]

So sorry about the loss of a loved feathered friend ❤️ I'm happy for you guys also for your new screaming hairy bundle of joy 😊

Sick pic of that bushmaster! Hope you guys had a great christmas

[@dougdonaho]

Love watching you guys. I think you’re amazing and I’ll never understand why people choose to be so negative about something that is nothing but positive. They must have too much time on their hands and no drive to actually try and learn about something that they obviously have no clue about and apply that energy to making a difference in the world. But when a person has no ambition and they are too lazy to educate themselves and most importantly don’t have the kindness in their heart that it takes to even be able to do what you guys do 24/7 365 days a year for so many years all they can do is hate. You two make it look easy when its a lot of work and this makes people jealous and so they do what they know and come here and doo-doo on something very good. Then they take a nap probably lol. Screw’em! I mostly wanted to comment about Lucky. I’m so sorry for your loss. I know it’s hard to lose a little buddy. I had to have my little dog put down a few months ago and I still can’t function. I had PJ for 12 yrs and she was 3 when I got her. Her family was never at home and never talked to her or loved on her and when they were about to move they asked me if i could find a home for her since I was the maintenance man at the apts we lived in and knew everyone so it would be easy for me to do that and I said sure. I fell in love with her and I think I already was in love with her. I gave her a much better life than she would’ve had otherwise. But she made my life so much better so we helped each other. No matter what it’s always going to end. That stinks. Anyway sorry for writing a book on here. Thanks for what you guys do and I look forward to the next video!
