Snake haul, Mouse intros & changing beddings? | VLOG

[@rowdyrats7035]

The mice are just so adorable! I bet that Wren and Lark are so happy to be living in the big enclosure now! Glad that the mice get along so well. ❤ And so happy to see little old man Wispa still getting around. Also, I'm having a conversation with a person who says that rats can live to be 6-8 years old when they have good living conditions and is basically implying that rats that live the average lifespan of 2-3 years aren't being taken care of properly. They act like I don't know what I'm talking about when I tried to tell them that even rats that have the best care will still usually live around 2-3 years and that going over 3 is pretty rare. I'm not going crazy, right? 😂 Someone reassure me, please? 😅 I mean, the oldest living rat that was recorded was 7 years and 4 months, but that is extremely rare based on what I have read.

[@Emiology]

You’re not wrong! People like that are delusional and getting themselves confused. 3 is great but anything above that is the equivalent of a human living 200/300 years it just doesn’t happen. Rats can live a very long time if you leave them to it but they’ll have no quality of life and they’ll be skin and bones at 4 years old. The world record of 7 was removed for a while because they had no evidence to back it up!

[@rowdyrats7035]

@@Emiology Oh, thank you for clearing that up. I just did a quick Google search about the oldest rat and that popped up. I didn't know how true that was lol. Then read some articles, in only one article it mentioned that some rats live 6-7 years, but now I think that it might have been based on the "oldest living rat's" age. But yeah, that conversation reminded me of a lot of people on internet who say that their hamster lived to be like 7 when that's impossible. That person said that they have many friends with rats that live to be over 6, I thought, damn, where can I get these rats. 😂 Would love to have rats with such long lifespan.

[@rylenvanderhoek2834]

@@rowdyrats7035 I know, Right? thanks Emiology for answering, this helped me too. I'd LOVE for Rats to have such a long Lifespan. I wish it was the same for Mice, too. Mice were my first Rodent pet. apparently, the rat who won a world record for the longest living Rat was named Rodney. not sure if its true, there's not much evidence, like Emiology said.

One of the best parts of having a dog is how it accidentally makes you get out in nature a little more! It really makes a difference

[@mousenation3867]

Honestly don’t worry about anyone in the comments that may cast aspersions on your intentions, you don’t need to justify yourself to anyone. Keep doing what your doing, brilliant channel and a genuine love of animals is lovely to watch.

[@vivianelabelle3992]

It breaks my heart that people said mean things about the surgar glider video.😢💔You work so hard to make all these animals happy on top of volunteering and with a fragile health to boot. How dare they?😠 I learned a lot from you. Thank you for taking the time to make videos.🥰❤🧡💛💚👍🐁🐀🐍

[@mousenation3867]

I’d love a bedding video, It’s always good to see what people use and their individual experiences. I love that you’ve had the courage to use shaving’s. We can just ignore the bedding police lol. Your mouse enclosure looks fantastic

[@itslewisandcats]

So glad to see Rue! She is so cute! Also i love your videos! You do so good on them, keep up the great work! I learned so much from you when I got my first rats!

[@thebriarpatch9564]

Question: when your ratties get to be elderly, are there certain things you change about their cage setup to make things easier for them?

[@dagirls6375]

Thankyou for including the bit about the volunteering for the monkeys they look so cool !!!

[@MischievousFloof]

Oh my god your snake is so cute!

[@puddlesss3836]

I absolutely love watching your videos so when I saw that this video was 30 minutes long I was so happy bc after I finish your videos I have to go and scavenge for more pet KZbinrs to watch 🤍 Also I got so much of my rat knowledge from you so my rats can live their best life!

[@Noctua17]

those arcadia grow lights are fantastic, I use them for my tropical plant collection. Some plants don't like the intensity of the 22 or 34W lights, such as gardenia and calathea, which seem to wither and burn SO quick under them, but philodendrons, syngonium and pothos/scindapsis thrive!

[@riahnoel]

That color looks amazing on you!!! Your content is so soothing and wholesome, thank you for all you do ❤️

[@MCrvngraddip2013]

Mouse intros beautiful. Loved this style of vlog. Really enjoyed it all. Really liked the volunteering part too xx

[@Caspy.theghost]

Nothing better than chilling with your videos when I was younger 3 years or so again I used to watch your videos because I wanted rats and now I have 3 :)

[@tkh69]

I also noticed the bedding had started to be dusty which isn't good could you do a video on the new bedding choice perhaps? To explain why kiln dried is safe for there lungs as it really scares me 🥺

[@pearljones698]

I love watching your mice introductions! I have never owned mice but I like watching and learning about them through your videos :)

[@julue5689]

12:54 those are nerve plants and i actually really wanted one for some time but i didnt have the room, they like low amounts of light, and they are jungle plants, so they like alot of humidity

[@bubblegummel]

What was the green and clear wheel used for the mice, please? Also, I'd LOVE to see more of the exotic animal rescue.

[@alien-bass]

My girls have claws that occasionally scratch me and with the Aubiose I get small welts around the scratches. Don’t know if it’s the bedding or the dirty feet but I’ll try the kiln dried next time I’m buying.

Can’t wait to watch this

[@blindopossum7913]

My bio active frog enclosure just grew mushrooms! I’ve been hoping to see some pop up for so long now and over the last few days I’ve been able to watch them emerge from the ground.

[@Emiology]

That’s a good sign! I miss the mushroom in my millipede tank lol

[@octoberdawn1087]

💚 It makes me sad that you have to explain yourself about donation money. When people raise money for something, they still have the right to spend their own money on whatever they want to... and for those of us who get involved with things, I don't understand why people expect us to spend every cent of our own money towards donating to a special interest. You are so amazing that you even have the patience to kindly explain all of this. Thank you for everything you do

[@eddiedanrith5484]

How are the mice liking the new bedding? Is it soft and good for nesting?

[@sophieh8399]

Where do you buy the snowflake bedding from? I’ve been getting really sniffly around their current bedding and the price is adding up so think it’s time for a change for my 6 ratties and this seems like a good alternative 😊❤

[@pennypaton3079]

The mouse intro was so good to see. The final enclosure set up looks beautiful. I always use shavings for my girls and within hours they have dug holes and made tunnels.. it's so beautiful to see the girls digging and working hard at making their home perfect. My oldest girl is nearly 1 and a half and slowing down but she does well to keep up with her 4 little sisters. I love being inspired by your creativity in your enclosures... Not a huge fan of snakes but yours is gorgeous. Great video, thank you for sharing..😘😍🥰❤️

[@PetConnectionInternational]

I find the same with aubiose being super dusty, really annoying that we can't get hemparade anymore 😑 I have found something called "eco shiv" online though that seems to be another bulk hemp bedding, I'm thinking I'm going to try that next

[@Emiology]

Hemparade was good even though you didn't get as much!

I love Rue! Also, Arcadia products really are awesome. I use their DHPs and their ShadeDweller UVB lights. They've been great!

[@levimain4552]

So happy you’ve posted

[@ratsandus450]

Can you still use the snowflake bedding for rats even though you didn’t put it in their cage . I’m getting new baby rats and I am trying to switch from flesse an affordable and more engaging bedding for them

[@soniaperez9269]

Wren looks like my Star and Lark looks just like my Milka! I give mine dried meal worms which they love, never thought about live ones, where do you get them?

[@KalebAndEndy]

I think you should definitely try harness and leash trying on Humble. I think he's perfectly outgoing enough to love it! He'd love going on a walk with you!

[@Emiology]

He is harness trained ☺️

[@KalebAndEndy]

@@Emiology oh! I know a lot of people walk with their cats and dogs together.

[@Emiology]

@@KalebAndEndy He was doing really good when he was younger but he went through a fear period where he doesn't want to go anywhere beyond the garden :(

[@KalebAndEndy]

@@Emiology Oh no! It'd be great if he'd gain confidence once you get your doggo and all three of you can. I understand the scardy part, our fluffy tux Queen( Valkyrie) only likes to lay in a patchy sunlight grass and chatter at birds on the fence/tree on the otherside of the side yard.

Worth the wait 💖💖💖

[@nekoninja115]

HI! I KNOW THIS IS UNRELATED TO THIS VIDEO but for your rat cage, did you just use perspex as a scatter guard? And how did you put it in the cage? Did you use perspex on the base as well under the substrate?

[@PeacheIIe]

I think she's going to be making a video on it soon

[@kedj9380]

Love you vids been a fan from the start xx

[@Jennahicidal]

I"m not sure where to find it. But I'd love to know where you got your mouse enclosure, and the bottom too it with racks? I'd love to have a similar set up!!

[@TheSqueakyFam]

Where can I get the snowflake bedding? I want to try it as I currently use megazorb with my gerbils but it is starting to get dustier and dustier with every batch.

[@Emiology]

Online maybe or they sell it in anywhere that sells horse supplies :)

[@TheSqueakyFam]

@@Emiology Thank you, I've been taking a look online just wondering if it was a specific site you'd got it from for £9 as with 7 little diggie babies I get through bedding super fast. 😅 I might have to see if I can find a horse supply shop near me as that might be better as no delivery costs! ☺️

[@Khaatana]

@@TheSqueakyFam Wilko sell a 7kg bag of Snowflake shavings for £3.50. Idk how big the £9 bag Emi's using, but if the Wilko one is smaller could be good, as a taster bag to see how you get on with it. :)

[@thaliaquintero8140]

I love snakes so muchhhh!!!! I havnt done much research but are they easy to take care of?? And do rats have to eat mice/rats are there other options?

[@WutangShadows]

I love your channel. I'm glad you're health improved a bit. To add about getting into the animal field. I know alot of people frown upon zoos but some will have animal care volunteering. It's a good step in the door. I loved it. It's hard work and you see alot of behind the scene things. You learn a lot. I'm also wondering if you will adopt a dagu or Amazon frogs. I've been want to adopt sugar gliders. The are hard work but worth it.

[@RT-ey4wy]

Would they be better off scatter feeding and using puzzle feeders form the food?

[@Emiology]

The rescue animals? Some get puzzle toys but with the amount of animals and what needs doing there’s not always time for it. Scatter feeding fresh fruit and veg is harder to clean and attracts rodents / pests

[@cherylbeswick7327]

I loved this video ❤

[@Vloggingwithvictoria-3]

I have a question. I'm thinking about getting rats and I was going to get MidWest Deluxe Ferret Nation Cage. But I go back and forth from my dad's for a week to my mom's for a week. They would be staying at my mom's while I'm not there but I do go on Wednesdays, They would be fed and taken care of while I'm gone. they would be staying at my mom's for a week because of the size of the cage because it would be difficult to take it back and forth. Would this be okay for them? I've been wanting them for a while I just don't know if the situation I'm in would work out for them because I only want the best for them if I do get them.

I need advice I recently got three new baby mice but they are aggressive to my older ones. They fight at night a lot and they grab on to each other rear ends. Also the older ones seem to be scared of them. I’ve also noticed some barbering on one of them. I tried to separate them for a couple days and re introduced them slowly again but they keep fighting I don’t know what to do anymore

[@Emiology]

Are they all females?

[@caseyeley7362]

Also the three news came together from a rescue and i let be in cage for couple of days and then introduced them to the older ones in the bath tub they got along fine and the first 2 weeks they had squabbles here and there and as the days continue and weeks the fighting has got worse

@@Emiology it also seems to be mainly one mouse out of the new one but I’ve tried to stop it

[@Emiology]

Unfortunately sometimes some rats / mice just aren’t compatible and won’t live together as annoying as that is. If you’ve tried really slow introductions multiple times and made sure they’re not fighting over resources and have multiple of everything you may have to house them separately if some of them are clashing! I know it’s not ideal but it does happen and it sounds like you’ve tried multiple times

In 2 days i’m going on a 14 hour car ride, and I have to take me 2 girls with me. Do you have any tips how to travel with rats, and calm down a stressed rat in the car?

[@Emiology]

They’ll be fine! Rats travel really well. A cat carrier may be better for them to have more space and you can attach a water bottle onto the front door easier. Just give them plenty of food and cucumber and they’ll probably just sleep the whole time!

They were rescued from many places. I’m not sure on all of their individual stories but many of them are very elderly and almost all of them were someone’s ‘pet’ that they had kept in their garden / house or even in a bunker.
