The best zoo in the world & new rats first free roam | VLOG

[@sarahwilson2409]

I’ve been going to Chester zoo since I was little and every time I go they are working on something to improve a certain enclosure. It’s like they’re constantly trying to make each new project better than the last 😊

[@anneliezarat5986]

Omg same I love chester zoo it's the only zoo I've gone to

[@Chazzy0x0]

Ah this brought back so many memories! I used to work at Chester Zoo, such a lovely workplace just walking past all the animals everyday. I was an intern on the penguins and parrots section. I miss it so much!

[@trishawaddell564]

I like the board with everyone’s photos. You should draw a little rainbow ( or find a rainbow sticker) to put next to the names of those that have moved on to the rainbow bridge.

[@AimeeML]

My favorite part of your videos is hearing you chat with your animals, so sweet.

[@packofrats6082]

Awww so cute! That soo looks awesome! I loved seeing the new rats free roam for the first time. When I got my rescue rats the place they had been staying at wasn’t ideal at all and they were never taken out of their cage. They were so excited and curious exploring my free roam setup! One of the best experiences

[@Fellow_Follow]

Love what you do with mice! You have made me fall in love with them! Thank you

[@ReptileJen]

Aaah the pin board looks so cute!!! You'll need to start a new board for your cat, dog, reptiles, inverts & harvest mice lol. I really want to see Chester Zoo now!

[@belindaj1953]

I am really ill at the minute, seeing all the animals really made me happy and gave me some strength thanks ❤️

[@katchico1975]

Love love love Chester zoo I live about 20 mins from there. I use to spend all my summers there with a child I cared for that had special needs she loved it too! It's an amazing zoo a few years ago there was a huge fire there unfortunately they couldn't save every insect/ species but they did their best and have recovered well. Love your vlogs xx

[@xxkenzie_x]

possibly once you're able to make an office in your garden/backyard you'll be able to make your current office into a spare bedroom for any rescue animals??? just a thought! I can't wait to see what frog(s) you get! The board with all of the mice/rats is absolutely adorable as well! I may even end up doing one similar!

[@rowdyrats7035]

I love the board with all of the pictures of the rats and mice, such a cute idea! 🥰 The zoo looked so nice, wish I could visit it. 😍 Aero has stolen my heart, the little dude reminds me of my Zorro so much in looks and personality. ❤

[@Andiswa_Sidwaba]

OOoOOo from that intro that zoo looks so beautiful and a new rat free roaming for tha first time

[@itssamiievi]

the picture board is beautiful! 😍 our villa's currently been a place where we've adopted multiple rescues (dogs & cats) and a place that's allowed me to foster rescue hamsters so this would be a great idea for us 💙 to showcase all the animals that's come and gone here. thank you for sharing, loved the vlog! 🤗

[@Lealizac]

snakes are so impressive the way they just be taking things in whole

[@Caviidae]

I LOVE Chester Zoo!! I grew up there, going at least once a week. my favourite place there is the Butterfly House; I could spend hours in there 😂 ill be doing Zoology in Bangor next year, with the aspiration of working at Chester Zoo

[@Emiology]

The butterfly house was one of the few things we ended up missing! 😓 working there was always my dream

[@weevil8025]

Love Chester Zoo. Whenever people say 'Zoos are bad' I always like to mention it.

[@moonbasket]

That zoo looks amazing!! I love a good zoo! Also love the free roam setup you have for the rats. It looks so enriching.

[@Squishyrats33]

I have been to Chester zoo a few times its really good!! I have also been to york loads 😂. I love your rats they are so cute!

[@hammyluvv910]

I love your rats, they are so cute

[@eriathwen1320]

Those pictures are adorable! Where did you get them done? I'd love to do similar for all my guinea pigs 😍

[@maryoleary5044]

Another Fab video!

[@Andiswa_Sidwaba]

I’ve seen your TikTok’s the Zoo looked so AMAZING

[@o0gothique0o37]

omg they are sooo sweet!

[@PetConnectionInternational]

Zoos really get a bad rep sometimes, but that zoo looks amazing! 😍 Also, quick question, you've mentioned geo-caching a few times, what is it? I've not heard of it before your videos 😅

[@tyliful]

great vid. looks like your holiday was wonderful.

[@Pigeon_Squirrel]

Absolutely love this! ❤ please never stop making content with ratties🐀

[@jack-a-lopium]

Look at those little ratty hands!

[@hyphest09]

I got rats 2 weeks ago and your videos have been a big help so thank you :)

[@cllairebearr]

I saw your tictoks, so I am more than exited to see a full video with the zoo in it ☺️

[@Sophieivy1_]

I’m so confused I thought Chester zoo was in wales near wrexm (Ik I probably butchered that spelling) anyway can’t wait to watch the blog as usual!

[@Emiology]

It's near Wales but not in Wales

[@Sophieivy1_]

@@Emiology ah okay. Been a few years since I went. I think I commented on your tiktok, but we didn’t expect it to be so big we barely did half the zoo the time we were there. I hope I can go again. I went because of there incredible show: secret life of the zoo.

[@diane9693]

Picture board looks great 💝

[@cosmic.creeper]

Lovely to catch up, glad you’ve got some time away even briefly. The zoo looked so much nicer than some I’ve seen, which is really refreshing. It’s great to see them taking care and enrichment so seriously. Thanks for sharing.

[@katescritters]

Can’t wait to watch this!

[@MischievousFloof]

Can't wait to watch! ❤

[@Fabulous_foxes]

I think I may have been to this zoo before many years ago when I was younger. I’m going to have to visit again! Have you been to Yorkshire Wildlife park? They also have very good enclosures

[@GreymanWalking]

I was watching The TV shows for Chester Zoo, however I think it got cancelled here in the States because I haven't seen a new episode in a while

[@palomajean3967]

That zoo looks heavenly! I'm very interested in the agility kit, what would be the best way to contact you about it?

[@katiejones3028]

I'm going to Chester zoo in October with my college! :D

[@Smw006]

I just admire your organization so much!

[@itsautumnxx4540]

Hi! When are you doing the next cage reaction videos? I’ve just got some new baby rats and want your feedback on how to improve there new home xx

[@shitsquirrel9]

1:49 what is that white thing made up of tons of circles at the top of the screen? I really want one of those! I love watching your rats, they're so cute!

[@kaycrossing]

I believe it’s from ikea and it’s a hanger but a lot of people use it for rat enclosures. It’s exact name from ikea is “KOMPLEMENT Multi-use hanger, white”

[@shitsquirrel9]

@@kaycrossing thank you!!

[@Sincerely_hazelnut]

Hey! Recently I had to let go of one of my four ratties and I’m left with three. Her sister is turning 2 in December and and I have two younger girls with her but it’s the first time I lost a rat and I don’t know when to adopt more. They are pet store rats but it wasn’t a big pet store and it’s one I trust, but I do plan on adopting from now on. I am under 16 and I’m pretty sure my parents would be ok with me getting more but I really need help with when! (I did all the research on rats by myself and you were my main source so no need to worry about their care!!❤)

[@Emiology]

I'd recommend either doing it now while your older girl is still in good health before she turns two as it can be very stressful on elderly rats, as long as your cage allows for two more at this time. If not, waiting until after she has unfortunately passed is also an option, as at least you have the two younger rats so you won't be left with one alone. But if you are looking to adopt it all depends on what is available to you at the time, if you see rats available you like, you might not find that again months down the line when you need them!

[@Sincerely_hazelnut]

@@Emiology Ok thank you so much for your input and for replying!❤🐀

[@ilikemice4388]

As you were saying about some animal's enclosures being too small, I've been to London Zoo this year and I was so disappointed in the enclosures for the giraffes and Zebras. They have very little room, concrete floors, a hay net for the zebras and some kind of plants for the giraffes. They should definitely be re-homed; the city is just not the place for them if I'm honest.

[@lukewaring8160]

my favourite is still monkey world. but also i stayed over 1 night at port lympne and it was great and they have some really great enclosures

[@thecalicorat7621]

Ive been watching your channel and studying rats for

[@thecalicorat7621]

This comment wasn’t finished and it will not let me edit it or delete it so anyway I’ve been studying rats for months and im super excited to get them this weekend!

[@bradleybraaf8231]

Thanks so much for your content. Do you perhaps have a DIY video of that cool cabinet and storage setup ?

[@warriorthawitt9971]

Good video. Keep up the good work!

[@tomgregory9229]

Hi Emi! I was wondering if you could give me some tips. I own four female rats-two are and a few months and two are a few months old.I recently brought the babies a few weeks ago and me and my parents are really struggling. They are so scared and jumpy and it has been quite a while now since we got them and they have made no progress. I was wondering if you had any tips for scared rats who won't stop biting (although they have improved on biting in the past week). thanks!

[@em__9492]

Do you still sell the tote bags? I couldn’t find them when I looked xx

[@678910ize]

Hiii, I’ve been watching for a while, I’m just curious what bedding you use for your rats? :) I’m looking to change bedding but auboise doesn’t agree with them (I find they get super sniffly) so just curious as a fellow rat owner ❤

[@tebbty]

What type of bedding do you use for your rats

[@SAMlurvesKCK]

Did you print those photos off yourself or did you have them printed somewhere? I love how you have their names on the bottom.

[@novacyther7677]

aww i love chaos potatoes

[@_sijeuni_]

I love your vlogs so much!! ♥

[@xxstitchthewitchxx]

what type of bedding do u use for your rats?

[@pawsomepangolins593]

I need some advice about free roaming my boy ratties. We can’t make the play pen any higher otherwise I won’t be able to get over it but my escape artist coconut keeps managing to jump out. We have had them on our laps sitting ok the sofa with a blanket but he went into the sofa. That was a very stressful hour and a half 😅 I also keep hearing sneezing from the cage but cant tell who it is a bit worried about it. I would love the agility set but don’t have insta could u do it on Facebook?

[@samcat2295]

Hey emi! After Christmas I was thinking about getting two French lops (or any large lop bunny. This is because I live in a flat, but I have a cat and so I want to make sure the bunnies are tiny. They won’t be allowed near each other if I’m not around but I still wouldn’t want a little dwaf hun around my cat) and I was wondering if you knew any good rescues in or close to warwickshire?

[@RT-ey4wy]

I really need to visit Chester zoo!!!

[@emmelinehannan7665]

Hi, I’m looking for more rats soon but unfortunately in the past I’ve always got them from pet shops so I don’t know of many good rat breeders - would definitely like to get some from a breeder next time - Could anyone suggest any reputable breeders in/around Lincolnshire?

[@Squishyrats33]

Hi two quick questions...is hubble able to get his paws into the rat cage or is the bar spacing to small. Also would i be able to put rats on a counter directly next to a window ...

[@Emiology]

I don’t know, he’s not allowed near the rat cage and doesn’t come in their room. I had my first rats on a counter near a window but I had to move it in summer and always had the blind down in the day for them

[@Squishyrats33]

Thanks!

[@invisigoth777]

where i live, having to leave is common, because of hurricanes, so i have a smaller emergency cage.. once, back when i had boys, a bad storm came through, so i had to go to a shelter, they refused me, until i pointed out that were in a cage, and the shelter let people bring dogs and cats, on a leash...then told them that i signed in, so if i leave and die, they were at fault, because if my rats couldn't stay, i wouldn't they switched their tune fast lol btw, just your opinion...that metal shelf, with the enclosures, that you showed, do you think it's strong enough to hold a fish aquarium ..like a 30 gallon?

[@lemonshobbies]

You are so Iconic and remind me of myself with my Guinea pigs, haha

Hello, I plan on getting mice in the future. I currently own hamsters and they have sand baths. Do mice need anything like a sand bath to use the bathroom and clean them selves?
