I love how Maya owns Alveus, but she gives fresh intern energy lol

[@matthewowens455]

Wait she’s the owner of the whole thing? Like she’s the boss lady?

[@artsyapple6509]

@@matthewowens455 yep! As far as I've heard, she boot strapped the whole thing.

[@VermisTerrae]

I think it's cause she really respects and listens to the experts in their different fields :) Asking the animal care staff if it was okay with them if she did the treat thing, etc. No "I'm the boss, I'm gonna give them treats if I want to" kind of stuff. It's something I really appreciate about her.

[@caspian9694]

@@matthewowens455 she owns the land, sanctuary, pays all the workers, and she even lives in a tiny house on the lot

[@TissueCat_]

​@@matthewowens455 yep, shes the ceo and executive director (i believe thats the titles shes used for herself), but she also has experience at other zoos n stuff in the past, was a certified falconer at one point, as well as an agriculture degree of some sort. so she does have a lot of info abt animals and whatnot, but the animal care staff at alveus have a BUNCH of experience with a whole bunch of different animals and went to school for this stuff too, so she def just highly respects them and knows that they have more info on certain things than her so she trusts their input a lot. but yeah so shes technically the boss lady and owns everything legally, but everyone seems to be very equal and it honestly seems like such a nice dynamic between everyone

sorry dogs, this is now a frog enclosure

Riding the pump death wish ride is their enrichment 🥺🥺

[@cerijeanns4995]

Maya showed the tadpole eggs whilst I was eating chia seeds and oats so now I'm struggling to finish my food

[@robotslug]

Adding some plants(the type that pull nutrients from the water, not soil), and maybe some mosquito fish to the pond would really improve the water quality and give them enrichment.

The aquarium hobby and wolf dog watching hobby crossover I never knew I needed.

I've learned that frogs have a death wish.

[@ChrisVillagomez]

As someone who has frogs and toads in my backyard constantly and also used to own a few different frogs, can confirm they are pretty dumb for the most part, like imagine Jabba the Hutt but unintelligent

[@AveryGunn-uz2hn]

​@@ChrisVillagomez fr I have a aquatic frog and get a lot of frogs in my yard and I grab them and most the time their chill qnd then I put them back but my frog specifically is dumb ash, he bites at nothing sometimes idek what he's doing lol

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

They're just silly little guys. lol

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

@@AveryGunn-uz2hn He's fighting off the demons. LOL

[@ChrisVillagomez]

@@AveryGunn-uz2hn Same, I used to own a pair of Common Toads that I caught in my yard (my pool cover gets filled with rainwater, algae, and dead leaves so it fills with insects and frogs) that actually became mates before we released them again in the spring, and the bigger toad would bite at nothing randomly as well!

[@artemisishere]

I picked up about a month ago "that's niiice" from Maya and QT, I say it to my cats all the time when they are being cuddly

[@MissBananaYT]

The commnet about doing Maya's animal voice is so real. I constantly tell my animals, and the animals I care for other people, "that's nice" in her voice 😂

[@sirnutcase8745]

I also use Maya's voice irl, IDK WHY. There is a little Maya in my head :P

[@opliko]

pissin me awf

[@Keenanskill]

I think its cause she taught me empathy towards even insects so when it comes to hurting other living things I just remember barbara wiggling those antennas.

[@TissueCat_]

no thats so real. been a fan of her and alveus for a few years now so ive def picked up some phrases and voiced over time 😂 tbf i always did silly voices with pets and stuff, so its just adding onto that

[@mokono5331]

I had the opoortunity to educate my boyfriend and some of his friends about roaches and i felt so proud ngl. Ive really been inspired by alveus so i hope to continue spreading the word!

[@akamiddlechild]

Hey.... your pump had a "float switch" on it. It only works when it is pointed upward, with the wire being at the bottom, enough to make a ball touch two contacts at the top of it making it turn on. Also, if you're able to get some sort of big pieces of copper and have them in the pond, that should help with algae. Edit... I see you got it figured out. Might be able to zip tie it onto the side of the pump, to make it continually run. Since it looks like it's not a replaceable switch

[@ax4592]

the cut from the car is so funny time warp

[@pudlmaker]

09:20 first saw this in a short, don't know why but I find it to be the cutest interaction ever. The determination to prove to us it is a frog is amazing.

Wears gloves not cause the frogs are gross to her but cause she cares about them and knows they will absorb the sun screen.

DIS A FROWGS AND BOWGS VIDEO? 🤩

[@MegaThunderKitten]

Those plants that are growing branches and individual leaves are gonna have to be pruned they’re procemine sprouts growing from the base of the trees’ roots.

[@UhOphelia]

They do want it to be more lush, so new plant growth is fine.

[@Bitoric]

ok thats a nice sump pump and you guys should really read the instructions before you burn up the impeller. that little box on the side is a float if it raises above intake it turns on then shuts off on its own from water level dropping its basically a safety for the pump. stand the pump staright up next time let it run till it shuts off, thats where the second pump comes into play it will get the water level even lower and can pull from a shallower body of water, would be a good idea to dig a specific spot for your pump for cleaning and make it the lowest point of the pond.

[@sporilight]

Not an expert, but I read somewhere online that you can use hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria and algae using 1.5mL (3%) hydrogen peroxide per 4.5 L water in fish tanks. It's supposedly a safe dose for shrimp (which are very delicate when it comes to minute changes in water parameters), but I'm not sure how safe it would be for the frogs... Could be useful for cleaning if you can catch all the frogs in the water without draining the pool, or for spraying on the rocks after draining. The nice thing about it is that it breaks down within an hour and just becomes pure water and oxygen so it could be covered with a tarp for an hour before refilling. I haven't done extensive research on how good this would be for the upkeep of animal enclosures or frog health though :/

[@thublit]

Does C now know the sump pump has an up and down?:) (and it has a built in float switch?:) hehehe

[@javiernajar1457]

I suggest researching whether a piece of copper in the pond might help reduce algae. I'm not an expert so I suggest some research. I just don't know if that would affect the frogs

[@geoffreycat1763]

Like old pennies in a birdbath, that's not a bad idea.

[@Liver-ti5di]

Maya are your knees okay-?

[@swimskill8762]

I haven't watched in awhile what happened to the rule of not going in with the wolves and using the holding pen?

[@Whitsoxrule1]

That was their initial assumption before meeting them, having had a few months now to get to know the wolves and understand their behaviors, they're confident Awa and Timber won't be aggressive or pose the slightest danger to the keepers. As you can see in this video the pups just hide out on the other side of the enclosure when the humans come in

[@bradleyb.7376]

Thanks for explaining that. I was wondering about why they could go in.​@Whitsoxrule1

[@bradleyb.7376]

Can you add pond clear to the water?

[@UhOphelia]

If that's a chemical product, they won't because the wolves drink and splash in the water daily. They don't want the wolves chugging like chlorine or whatever. If it's okay for them to drink on the daily maybe they'll add it in!

[@Jake-do3ly]

Anyone know what Maya is streaming tomorrow?

[@Taromisaki666]

Can't you just use a high pressure cleaner? That would make it so much faster and easier.

[@kitrodriguez992]

please please please

[@shadowgattler]

Oh so you can go in the enclosure?

[@Sans_The_Skeleton]

yeah I don’t think the wolves would do anything they’d rather be away

[@meganwall4405]

They can as they have the enclosure split in two. So the wolves are on one side, while they are cleaning this side. It's the way they built it so they wouldn't be in direct contact with the wolves but could still come in to clean, make repairs, deliver enrichment, and such

[@cahan557]

@@meganwall4405there isn’t a barrier between them in this video. They have just learnt that the wolfdogs are very timid and so feel comfortable going in with them as the wolfdogs just stick to the opposite side of the enclosure. They did build a smaller section to keep them in if they did want to clean while separating themselves from the wolfdogs which can be seen behind them at 18:00

[@doggedout]

Why don't you just pet the wolf dogs? They were obviously raised by humans and seem confused by the fact that nobody pets them anymore? There are at least 10 channels where much more wolfy looking wolf dogs live in peoples houses. Pet the wolf dogs.

[@UhOphelia]

The wolves are FAR from confused/upset about not being pet, and judging by what they have told us about their previous zoo, they weren't given much positive human contact. Those people who bought a wild animal for social media are what Alveus is trying to prevent. You should really watch their other videos on the wolfdogs to see what a horrible idea that is, not for safety but for conservation.
