      Hhaha same we also have six, 5 young ones who live outside, and 1 that lives inside who was recently adopted (he is at least 8 years old, bur the rescue didn’t know exactly ) How do your ferrets get along, and are they housed thogether) Just very curious, as i only know people with 1 or 2 ferrets or at the max 3.

      @@F907. They get along great. They formed two groups of "best friends", but still all cuddle and play together. They all live in a room. Ferrets are social and do best in groups that mimic litter sizes (~3-8). Unless they are unfixed males, but all our males are either castrated or have a chemical implant that prevents them from going into season.

    • @F907.
      @F907. 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yea we have all men, they also get along awesome except for the old ferret, he doesn’t show intrest in the other boys at the moment, the other boys are 3 brothers and 2 brothers from a different litter, they are all chemically castrated (exept the old one he is castrated regularly) and they always want to sleep together, we have like plenty hides and hammocks for everyone to get a separate one but they always end up sleeping together in a big pile or cramped up in a hammock or hide, do yours do that too? It is nice to see that you have 6 ferrets, ive never met someone who has that many, except for myself!

    I really love that video because I've also upgraded my stuff and the enclosures. The ones I had before were just so small and didn't give them everything they needed. I had a terrarium for mine which wasn't giving the air they needed and they also didn't have much to climb on maybe 3 or 4 houses. When i look back i just really feel bad for the missing knowledge. It's been like 5 or 6 years and the enclosures really have improved. I'm watching a lot of mice videos for example the videos that you make or videos of breeders and I bought myself some books where it is explained how to give mice the best home.
    So thanks for sharing your knowledge!

    I live in the United States sadly and neutering male mice is on heard of like you are batshit crazy if you call up an exotic vet and ask if they can neuter your male Mouse that's why I'm thinking of rescuing African soft fur rats but the Dilemma is most African soft fur rats in United States are sold as feeder which means there's a high chance of me ending up with a pregnant soft for a rat
    Also the standard of mice care in the United States is very questionable some people say three mice can live in a 10 gallon tank other people say three mice should live in a 20 gallon long

    • @cupcake5000
      @cupcake5000 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hello, I recently got two female african soft furs that I plan to introduce to my male mouse. The way I found is easiest (in my opinion) to find not pregnant females is to look for an ad on Craigslist or a similar website. Usually the people who have ASFs on there breed them themselves and separate them before the females reach maturity. Pet stores usually will not do this. Hope this helps!

    Love these videos Emi 🥰 it just goes to show that everyone can make “mistakes” with pet care and it’s completely fine as long as we learn from it. I think a lot of us get a bit defensive when someone gives constructive criticism (not hate, which is very different) but in the end it’s all part of the process of owning small animals! Especially when there isn’t really a lot of great resources out there, we can all learn from each other to give our little friends the best lives possible✨

They look like the perfect thing to let your pets explore the house without getting lost. Iwas thinking of getting some for my mice, and then I thought I had to tell you!!! Just search: Adjustable small animal leads’ on Amazon, and you can get them for like, three pounds each! I really hope you get some if you haven’t already!

    I just found a pet youtuber in my recommended named kristenleannimal. She has a lot of pets including some rats, and first I was kind of wary because of her cage setup, which was not the best, but then I saw she had a video on bathing her rats, and after watching it, I'm pretty upset. She seems to have a pretty large following (184K subscribers) and think it would be great for you to do a video on her. I don't know about how to properly care for any of the other exotic pets she has, but going off of how she cares for her rats, though there are certainly people out there who have done far worse, I suspect there are issues there as well (so this could even be a collaborative effort with some other pet youtubers) she seems to care about her pets a lot, and so I think it's especially important for someone to directly address this and help her and her followers see how to better care for their rats.

      I’m planning on getting mice too!! I have a 106qt bin, 450sq inches, and while asking around on mouse & rodent related forums/platforms, most people told me that the bin I have is only big enough for three mice. So, for four, you’d probably need upwards of 600sq inches! Don’t quote me on that though.

    My girl is called Buttercup and she is white and light brown!
    My brother's is called Snowflake and she is white and a little light grey!
    Also I have a question!
    My mice aren't using their wheel why?
    The girls have a sand bath they use as a litter tray , toilet paper rolls,a hide,a climbing toy,a level with their food bowl (they scatter their food them selves 😂😂)and a water bottle,they also have a secret tunnel under their bedding which is the living world pine bedding I am aware that this is not the best bedding but my parents won't let me get a different one until I use it up!They are also on the Hamster and Geribal mix !
    We got EVERYTHING for them from my friend that had a hamster for 3 years and she sadly passed away so they gave it to us!

    hi, so recently i added another baby rat to the cage where i had currently two other rats. they were about three months older than she was, and there was quite a size difference (she wasnt an actual baby but she was quite young). i had introduced them over the course of a few days and all was going fine- apart from the occasional squeak. then, last night i woke up to check on them, and saw one of them literally eating the other one. i dont know why they did it, and i was just wondering if i could ask a few questions, and maybe you or someone in the comments could help me/answer. so, first question is, do you have any idea why they would have eaten her, and two, will they become aggressive now that they've cannibalized her and should we get rid of the two remaining rats. i have no idea if anyone will know the answer to these questions, but im hoping someone will. thank you so much :)

    • @MyPerfectMischief
      @MyPerfectMischief 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rats will sometimes eat another rat if it’s dead. This is normal behavior, and they do it to protect themselves from predators that might try to follow the smell. For some reason, that rat died overnight, and they were trying to get rid of the body. They won’t become aggressive because of that incident.
      As for should you get rid of the other two. If everyone else is getting along just fine,then no. If they’re fighting (and not playfully), then you might want to look into reintroductions.

      Hi! I don't recommend tanks for any rodents, ammonia can really build up in them, they need fresh air to push it away that a tank just doesn't provide even with a screen top. To answer your question though, popsicle sticks, boxes, toilet paper or paper towel tubes, you can stuff treats and cardboard inside the roll to make forage toys, you can put a half roll of TP on a string and hang it up for them to chew/nest in, any old sheets or blankets can be sewn up into hammocks or nesting blankets.
