Every year during storm season a nest is blown from the tree in our backyard. We contacted a bird rescue about and they said not only is it ok to put the babies back in the nest, you can also make them a fake nest if theirs is destroyed. We used a plastic coffee can with some grass, leaves, and twigs, fixed it as high as we could in the tree, put the babies in it, and within a couple hours the parents are back and everyone is fine. Birds still use the coffee can nest and they don't seem to get blown out of that one
I read an exchange online in which someone asked why the catastrophe that killed all the dinosaurs didn't kill people, too. Someone replied, "They practiced social distancing. They stayed millions of years apart."
I used to dog train professionally. The idiom/saying, “can’t teach an old dog new tricks” was a thorn in my side. I would have to explain you can teach an old dog new tricks but if it’s a learned behavior it just takes a bit longer to break the old habit and establish the new habit. Sometimes there is a customer that just won’t let sleeping dogs lie and pushes back…then we (dog trainers) have our work cut out for us. I am SO glad y’all are back to it; missed y’all’s videos! ❤
I thought I was watching way old episodes but NO! And I'm so happy to see you and List 25 back together! And Mike..you are looking absolutely fantastic!
The story I got about gum was that if you swallow it it wraps around your heart. Even as a child I knew that the stomach and the heart weren't connected, and it (along with Santa) taught me to be sceptical of what I was told. Especially by parents, they're the worst.
We are atheists, but we celebrate all holidays without religious connotations. We did the Santa stuff for a few years. Finally, at 9 we decided to tel, our 2 boys the truth. We figured the kids in school would tease them if they mentioned it. They told us they knew for years, but were trying not to hurt our feelings. 😂
When my son was born I resolved never to lie to him, always to tell the truth or what I believed to be the truth. Santa, however you wrap him up in tinsel and childlike wonder, is a lie, so I told him the truth when he asked. My proudest moment was when he came out of his school in December of his prep year, 5 years old, angry that when he told the other kids that Santa wasn't real they wouldn't believe him. Since then he has grown up intelligent, rational, and making up his own mind what is truth or lie, and all those other kids know that he was right.
Another reason for Napoleon's height error is that the French foot and inch that was in use at the time are slightly larger than what we use today. So, his height when recorded by French standards would have been perceived by the English as being shorter than he actually was.
Yes, but when converted to today's inch it comes out to just under 5'6" which was actually a bit taller than the average Frenchman of the time. @@CAVINW
He also only enlisted the best of the best and toughest of the tough, who are generally not short. So he was always surrounded by big strong warriors which in turn made him look small. Could be a rumor but that was always my understanding.
One reason people wait 24 hours to report a missing person is because some cops tell people that. Whether its because some cops are ignorant or lazy is unknown, but some do say that. Some cops will act immediately and like you said, some people are saved by quick acting cops and sometimes people are lost and it is unknown if things would've been different if the cop wasn't lazy or ignorant.
@@gaoxiaen1 You can't paint any one group with the same brush. If you do then you ignore some and become so biased as to be useless or manipulative which is worse than ignorant and lazy.
#13…As a former 911 operator and police dispatcher, I would run out of fingers how many times I had callers tell me they waited 24 hours to report a missing person because that’s what they thought they were supposed to do. My reply, “Absolutely not!” while thinking, Nooo!! 😮
@@darquequeen Thanks. Well yea remember Caribbean people are abit slower in these things. But I understand what you are saying. I am from Trinidad and Tobago so here it is weird. Thanks for the info Darque Queen.
I've heard cases on YT readings where the police Made the callers wait until 24 hrs before they would let them file a missing person report. Sadly those are still missing.
My favorite sense that is rarely mentioned is proprioception. It is the sense of self location and or movement. Touching your nose with your eyes closed is an example.
And an easy way to tell if you have any form of degenerative brain disorder is to close your eyes, hold your arm down your side, raise it to the side up to shoulder height, then bring your hand around to touch your nose. If you miss, more so on multiple tries, your proprioception is on it’s way out, and is sometimes an early sign of dementia.
I know you wrote your comment months ago, but I wanted to add that this proprioception you mention is what great athletes possess in spades. Magic Johnson was once asked how he was able to be such a great "no-look" passer of the basketball. He said that not only did he have a great sense of where his body was on the court, but he also felt like there was a "string" stretched between his body and each of the bodies of the other players running down the court with him as he dribbled. He said he "felt" those strings getting shorter or longer as the people around him moved relative to his position. So only sometimes did he actually have to find them with his vision before being able to pass the ball to them at just the right moment. I myself was not a great shooter of the basketball, but I heard gasps when without looking I dotted someone right in their hands with the ball . I knew exactly what Magic was talking about, so I've remembered his comment for several decades now. I didn't know there was a term for this sense, so, thanks!

Napolean was thought of as short because he was said to be 5'4" but their foot was 13". Just a simple miscalculation, and when you use 12" for a foot, he was 5'9".
Absolutely love Mike on here when he first started talking in this video, I thought wow it must be sick. We’re guy also kind of thought. Why am I suddenly attracted to my? Not that there’s anything wrong with him and I shouldn’t be attracted to him it was just his lower voice was all sultry sounding, was very attractive, apparently lol love you Mike love the whole list 25 team.

Welcome back Mike. I like the beard. I did not hear about Walt Disney being frozen. It sounded like a lot of these were old wives tales. I remember Adam eating a red shaped pear instead of an apple. The video was very interesting and informative.
@traybern We used to eat crabapples all the time when I was a kid, even though our neighbor always said they were poison. I guess that she never noticed that we didn't die.
In many cultures, the word apple could be used for many kinds of fruit. The old English word meant any fruit. I think it might not have been a mistranslation but translated in that context. On a side note, the French word for potato is Pomme de Terre.
Awesome video! Great coincidence that I recently pointed out in my video that how people do not check such (mis)conceptions and keep on spreading them.
Looking good Mike you guys are the 1st Channel I ever subscribed to glad you're back. I remember when it was just your voice now looking at you is like seeing an old friend
yeah but it was a big HOAX in pop culture... I thought everybody knew that was fake. I was born in the 80s, and cryogenics weren't possible then, when I was growing up, or now... so I knew there was no way
Also there are cave drawings and stone art work along with fossilized footprints man with dinosaurs especially found in central and South America. Keep in mind the dating in these was drawn well before we even knew what dinosaurs where.
another exceptional list Mike. 3 more "facts"... lightning can and does strike more than once in the same place, bats are NOT blind..they see in black and white, and nor everything in Australia can kill you! Most stuff WANTS to but is too smalll to do the job 😛
I forget where, I think its in Norway somewhere, but there is a body of water or an estuary, that gets struck by lightning sometimes hundreds of times a day. Surely any structure there must have been hit thousands of times over the years. Now if we could just come up with a kind of storage medium that could survive the massive spike in electricity, and put it there, forget solar and wind power, run your stuff with lightning!
I saw a 5 foot anthill. I think it was in the states, but that many ants would undoubtedly kill you, especially if you are already compromised by other allergies.
Forgot to add: Australia is undoubtedly a very beautiful country, but it does seem to be that every does want to kill you. Beautiful little ringed octopi, the boxed jelly fish, the Blue Bottles (Portuguese man o’war). The ocean is my favorite place in tropical climates, & seasons. I’m failing to mention other oceanic wildlife which you’d likely have less physical contact with. Unfortunately for me, the fear alone will keep me away, which is a shame.
By the way, mice do not especially like cheese. They eat it, of course, because it contains fat. But, they REALLY like peanut butter, because of the high fat content. They also love lard, shortening, tallow, etc. But those aren't as practical for use in mouse traps, as is peanut butter.
#13 the three wisemen are in the Bible and the time period was about a month after Jesus was born. Keep in mind it was the desert and it was summer time not winter. Three wisemen where sent by Herod and each had a name. The gifts where even meant for a purpose. Not sure who is writing your stuff but tell them to pull out a bible and read and not just get facts off google or Wikipedia
13:23 The black-garb of hooded ninjas actually began in Japanese theater. Often, minimal staging and black curtains used. A ninja was to blend in with the surroundings (dressed as anyone else would if he "working" at a dock, a market, an office, etc) so if a ninja were in the script, they garb them in all black: the actor would then be unnoticed, unseen, until the ninja went into action. Filmmakers then lifted the ninja look directly from the stage.
Adam and Eve's sin was a bit more specific: They ate off (of the fruit of) the tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil. But yeah, no actual mention of what the fruit was. There are actually many instances of this in the Bible where the translator was unsure of what mineral, gem, plant, etc was being referred to. So they picked a likely one and went with it.
@@weemac4645 Didn't read too far into it, did you? You would have found Babylonian and Persian fairy tales too. And let's not forget the Greek and Roman mythology influence on modern Christianity.
These is no evidence that the "fruit" really was a literal fruit that you eat. It was more likely symbolic, AKA, "the fruit of your labor" or "be fruitful and multiply". Jesus spoke in similar terms in his teachings to his disciples.
Oh Mike, l am so glad you popped up on my radar again ! Somehow you just disappeared. You are so awesome and I love your show ❤. So smart, so sweet and so entertaining. I'll be watching from now on.
Mike!!!!!!!!!!!! Yall are back!! Omg I just stumbled on this video...yay!!!!! you lost weight buddy ...I gained weight LOL so we all changed over this last couple of years. Dude Im so glad you are back!!!!!!!!
Must say the only one on the list I didn't know was false was about dogs panting. But the number one thing I have to keep telling people, "No, that's not true." Is the idea that people only use 10% (or 5 or 15) of their brain. This was never from any medical or scientific journal. It's from How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. If it were true, a stoke wouldn't be such a bad thing. We use all of our brain, just some parts more at some times, and other parts at others, bur we use all.of it.
It has some TRUTH to it. the 10% more accurately means that the brain is only focused towards certain tasks at any given moment, much like your muscles and nerves.
A few false truths from my distant youth: "Use butter to soothe a kitchen burn".... "Dreams only last a few seconds, even the 'long' ones"... "Stars twinkle, planets don't"... "Dogs can only see in black & white".... "Daddy-longlegs are highly venomous".... "The side of the moon we can't see is always dark".... "There's no gravity in outer space".... probably a lot more I can't recall at the moment. Hey! Welcome back! And congratulations on your weight loss, you look terrific! Having been there myself, I should warn you that the only way to keep it off is to permanently adopt the lifestyle changes you've already made. Onward, & well done!
Contrary to popular belief, CREATION DOES NOT DISCOUNT EVOLUTION. Just because the Bible says God created man in "one day" it doesn't mean one day in the way we understand it. And ideas start and develop in stages of EVOLUTION until they come to their "finished" form.
A common myth perpetuated by the modern scientific community is that these 2 ideas ae incompatible. That's spoken out of scientific arrogance, not an open-minded search for truth.
Two commonly seen in movies: 1. Bombs are not deactivated by cutting a wire. They freeze them making them inoperative. 2. On the phone, you don't need to keep someone talking for minutes to trace a number. It's traced in a few seconds.
Don't agree with either claim. #1 depends on the type of bomb and how it's wired. You really can cut an electrical wire on some bombs and disable them. I can prove it. #2 phone calls were not always traced so quickly in the past. Calls were traced by humans in the past, not computers. Taking up to 60 seconds to trace a call manually back in the 1960s, for instance, sound accurate.
In regard to the 24 hour waiting period for missing persons, up until the early 90's there used to be a waiting period. Due to too many people being killed the day of, the law changed. At least in NY that's how it was. That myth was true.
Hey, Michael since Halloween is coming will you be posting any creepy or scary videos? I still like the two sentences horror story. When, I looked up from my bed at night, I thought it was a demon. However, it was only my brother. Oh God that’s even worse!
I freaking love it dude it corrected my ignorance I'm always willing to learn I don't want to think I know what I'm discussing sometimes I would like to know I know what I'm talking about a very cool show my brother keep up the wonderful work
Great list! Though I was thrown by the titles of the items; wouldn't it have been easier to state the mistaken belief and then explain why it is wrong, as the video's title suggests? Just the editor in me being an editor!
Whoever is reading this, I pray that whatever you’re going through gets better and whatever you’re battling with makes your situation better as you’re continuing to be a better person each day. I have faith that you’ll turn out great as your circumstances will change. Have a fantastic day! You got this! 🤗💪🏼❤
I'd like to save this to watch later but that isn't an option. I notice this started recently... is there something I'm unaware of happening with youtube and the save option?
Actually rabbits aren't supposed to eat a lot of seeds, they can actually block their digestive system and cause GI stasis and fruit is only supposed to be given as a small treat. A rabbit diet should be around 80% hay with small portions of leafy greens and about a handful of nuggets daily though mine also have access to unlimited hay. But yeah, rabbits should only eat carrots as an occasional treat, though their favourite part is the green top. That said, mine prefer bananas, they get so excited when I give them a small chunk of banana! 😁
Rabbits WILL eat the green tops off a carrot in the garden. I've seen them do it. But, yeah, I don't think a rabbit will dig up a carrot just to munch it.
As a carrot misconception it should be noted that eating carrots does not improve your eyesight. The eating of carrots was a ruse used by England to explain how their fighter pilots were able to have such success against the Nazi aircraft headed to England - "superior eyesight from a diet high in carrots" was a scam to protect the newly invented radar that gave the British pilots such an advantage.
Sorry for the delay everyone. Hurricane Ian kinda threw us for a loop here in Florida.

Welcome back Mike. I like the beard. I did not hear about Walt Disney being frozen. It sounded like a lot of these were old wives tales. I remember Adam eating a red shaped pear instead of an apple. The video was very interesting and informative.
In SE Asia they say it was a mango.
Red is not a shape
@@medicinewolf8418 I know it was red and shaped like a pear.
Was Disney even dead then?
As a kid I did pick apart Number 25 on this list, noticing that apple was never mentioned.
@traybern We used to eat crabapples all the time when I was a kid, even though our neighbor always said they were poison. I guess that she never noticed that we didn't die.
There is no mention in the Bible that the "fruit" of this tree was an actual literal fruit. It may have been symbolic.
"Bulls don't give a damn what color you are they only care about movement" - Johnny Knoxville
You haven't came on my feed in months, I had to hit the subs! (Phones been limited so could only watch what was on recommended)
In many cultures, the word apple could be used for many kinds of fruit. The old English word meant any fruit. I think it might not have been a mistranslation but translated in that context. On a side note, the French word for potato is Pomme de Terre.
Literally pomme de terre is apple of the ground
Awesome video!
Great coincidence that I recently pointed out in my video that how people do not check such (mis)conceptions and keep on spreading them.
So glad to see you back Mike.
Thank you!
Looking good Mike you guys are the 1st Channel I ever subscribed to glad you're back. I remember when it was just your voice now looking at you is like seeing an old friend
Hello old friend
It’s great to have you back!❤
Great to be back
So great to see you again. Looking good, Mike!
Thanks for informing me Mike!
To be honest, the rumor that Disney was frozen became somewhat of a huge part in pop culture, which is insane.
Some really elaborated on the story and claimed that it was only his head that was cryogenically frozen!🤣
yeah but it was a big HOAX in pop culture... I thought everybody knew that was fake. I was born in the 80s, and cryogenics weren't possible then, when I was growing up, or now... so I knew there was no way
I think this list is shorter than it should be lol. Thanks guy's good to see you again!
Yes, but if they made it longer they'd have to change the name of the channel 😉
Also there are cave drawings and stone art work along with fossilized footprints man with dinosaurs especially found in central and South America. Keep in mind the dating in these was drawn well before we even knew what dinosaurs where.
good work! we missed you!
Missed you too!
Not the tree of “knowledge” but the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Details matter.
another exceptional list Mike.
3 more "facts"... lightning can and does strike more than once in the same place, bats are NOT blind..they see in black and white, and nor everything in Australia can kill you! Most stuff WANTS to but is too smalll to do the job 😛
To play on the lightning fact, the statue atop the Missouri capitol building has been struck over 300 times since the early 1900s.
I always thought that bats weren't blind since they're nocturnal.
I forget where, I think its in Norway somewhere, but there is a body of water or an estuary, that gets struck by lightning sometimes hundreds of times a day. Surely any structure there must have been hit thousands of times over the years.
Now if we could just come up with a kind of storage medium that could survive the massive spike in electricity, and put it there, forget solar and wind power, run your stuff with lightning!
I saw a 5 foot anthill. I think it was in the states, but that many ants would undoubtedly kill you, especially if you are already compromised by other allergies.
Forgot to add: Australia is undoubtedly a very beautiful country, but it does seem to be that every does want to kill you. Beautiful little ringed octopi, the boxed jelly fish, the Blue Bottles (Portuguese man o’war). The ocean is my favorite place in tropical climates, & seasons. I’m failing to mention other oceanic wildlife which you’d likely have less physical contact with. Unfortunately for me, the fear alone will keep me away, which is a shame.
By the way, mice do not especially like cheese. They eat it, of course, because it contains fat. But, they REALLY like peanut butter, because of the high fat content. They also love lard, shortening, tallow, etc. But those aren't as practical for use in mouse traps, as is peanut butter.
A "fact" I heard growing up was, if you fed a sea gull an Alka Seltzer it would explode.
Missed you. Glad you're back. Btw looking good.
Thank you!
Thank you Mike I love list 25 ❤️❤️
We love you too!
"Knowledge of good and bad" not simply knowledge. It is most certainly a moral issue, not an educational one.
What a great, informative video! WOW! so many things debunked✌️
#13 the three wisemen are in the Bible and the time period was about a month after Jesus was born. Keep in mind it was the desert and it was summer time not winter. Three wisemen where sent by Herod and each had a name. The gifts where even meant for a purpose. Not sure who is writing your stuff but tell them to pull out a bible and read and not just get facts off google or Wikipedia
Great list, thanks!!
13:23 The black-garb of hooded ninjas actually began in Japanese theater. Often, minimal staging and black curtains used. A ninja was to blend in with the surroundings (dressed as anyone else would if he "working" at a dock, a market, an office, etc) so if a ninja were in the script, they garb them in all black: the actor would then be unnoticed, unseen, until the ninja went into action. Filmmakers then lifted the ninja look directly from the stage.
Adam and Eve's sin was a bit more specific: They ate off (of the fruit of) the tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil. But yeah, no actual mention of what the fruit was. There are actually many instances of this in the Bible where the translator was unsure of what mineral, gem, plant, etc was being referred to. So they picked a likely one and went with it.
The bible is full of bronze age, Egyptian, fairytales for the hard of thinking.🐂
@@weemac4645 Didn't read too far into it, did you? You would have found Babylonian and Persian fairy tales too. And let's not forget the Greek and Roman mythology influence on modern Christianity.
These is no evidence that the "fruit" really was a literal fruit that you eat. It was more likely symbolic, AKA, "the fruit of your labor" or "be fruitful and multiply". Jesus spoke in similar terms in his teachings to his disciples.
Napoleon was 5'2'' in French inches, which was 5'9'' in English inches. This partly motivated his creation of the metric system. :-)
Yay! Mike is back!!!! Ok, I'm re-subscribing to list 25!
Oh Mike, l am so glad you popped up on my radar again ! Somehow you just disappeared. You are so awesome and I love your show ❤. So smart, so sweet and so entertaining. I'll be watching from now on.
Welcome back!
It wasn't an apple, it was a kumquat. As in -
"Eve absconded with the kumquat."
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
You win comments for the day!!!
2:05 If someone is short and always bullying others to make up for it, I call that a Lord Farquad complex.
It's called,an annoying little turd.
In the wild, Rabbits are more likely to eat the tops of the carrots as opposed to their roots.
I'm so glad you guys are back
So am I!
Their not black.
They’re back!
We sure are!
@@list25 Woo hoo! I resubscribed!
@@list25 I never unsubbed I had hope
Actually humans and dinosaurs did coexist, and they still do- birds are literally living dinosaurs.
Love your videos man
We love that you love them
Mike!!!!!!!!!!!! Yall are back!! Omg I just stumbled on this video...yay!!!!! you lost weight buddy ...I gained weight LOL so we all changed over this last couple of years. Dude Im so glad you are back!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much! It's good to be back
Must say the only one on the list I didn't know was false was about dogs panting.
But the number one thing I have to keep telling people, "No, that's not true." Is the idea that people only use 10% (or 5 or 15) of their brain. This was never from any medical or scientific journal. It's from How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. If it were true, a stoke wouldn't be such a bad thing. We use all of our brain, just some parts more at some times, and other parts at others, bur we use all.of it.
I've met a few people that probably only use 10% of their brain
I try not to use it too much. It might wear out.
It has some TRUTH to it. the 10% more accurately means that the brain is only focused towards certain tasks at any given moment, much like your muscles and nerves.
The myth that an Apple was used in the bible was CLEARLY started by Steve Jobs.
Missed you!!
Aim better.
really interesting, I’m kinda relieved about how many truths i already knew. Btw, 8:09 as a German viewer I think you did well :D
Napoleon was also considered short because of the discrepancy between the English imperial foot and the (slightly larger) French imperial foot.
That being said, I doubt he was 5'9''. Perhaps 5'6''. 5'4'' was a very common height for men in Europe at the time.
A few false truths from my distant youth: "Use butter to soothe a kitchen burn".... "Dreams only last a few seconds, even the 'long' ones"... "Stars twinkle, planets don't"... "Dogs can only see in black & white".... "Daddy-longlegs are highly venomous".... "The side of the moon we can't see is always dark".... "There's no gravity in outer space".... probably a lot more I can't recall at the moment. Hey! Welcome back! And congratulations on your weight loss, you look terrific! Having been there myself, I should warn you that the only way to keep it off is to permanently adopt the lifestyle changes you've already made. Onward, & well done!
Oh, & Isaac Newton was never bonked on the head by a falling apple....
Of course men don’t think about sex every 7 seconds. It’s really 5!!😂😂😂
Contrary to popular belief, CREATION DOES NOT DISCOUNT EVOLUTION. Just because the Bible says God created man in "one day" it doesn't mean one day in the way we understand it. And ideas start and develop in stages of EVOLUTION until they come to their "finished" form.
You can't polish a turd.
@@weemac4645 too bad. I guess there’s no hope for you then.
A common myth perpetuated by the modern scientific community is that these 2 ideas ae incompatible. That's spoken out of scientific arrogance, not an open-minded search for truth.
Two commonly seen in movies:
1. Bombs are not deactivated by cutting a wire. They freeze them making them inoperative.
2. On the phone, you don't need to keep someone talking for minutes to trace a number. It's traced in a few seconds.
Don't agree with either claim. #1 depends on the type of bomb and how it's wired. You really can cut an electrical wire on some bombs and disable them. I can prove it. #2 phone calls were not always traced so quickly in the past. Calls were traced by humans in the past, not computers. Taking up to 60 seconds to trace a call manually back in the 1960s, for instance, sound accurate.
In regard to the 24 hour waiting period for missing persons, up until the early 90's there used to be a waiting period. Due to too many people being killed the day of, the law changed. At least in NY that's how it was. That myth was true.
@T Raybern There was
Great to see you back!
Music is very, very distracting though.
5 foot 9 is still a respectable height today.
Only if your 5ft 9'' or less.
I'm so glad ya'al are back!
So are we
Hey, Michael since Halloween is coming will you be posting any creepy or scary videos? I still like the two sentences horror story.
When, I looked up from my bed at night, I thought it was a demon. However, it was only my brother. Oh God that’s even worse!
Perhaps! Stay tuned!
Debunking Urban Legends would be cool. 👍
I freaking love it dude it corrected my ignorance I'm always willing to learn I don't want to think I know what I'm discussing sometimes I would like to know I know what I'm talking about a very cool show my brother keep up the wonderful work
Yeah I am early Mike!!! Hope you good.
Hi Early, I'm Mike.
You're the best Mike
Great list! Though I was thrown by the titles of the items; wouldn't it have been easier to state the mistaken belief and then explain why it is wrong, as the video's title suggests? Just the editor in me being an editor!
Sence of Direction, and strong Sence of Humor😁
Bad sense of spelling! LOL
The original use for a microwave was to reanimate cryogenically dead hamsters, sometimes multiple times successfully
Whoever is reading this, I pray that whatever you’re going through gets better and whatever you’re battling with makes your situation better as you’re continuing to be a better person each day. I have faith that you’ll turn out great as your circumstances will change. Have a fantastic day! You got this! 🤗💪🏼❤
That was so nice of you☺️
Thanks for the positive message 🕊🕊🕊☺️
I'd like to save this to watch later but that isn't an option. I notice this started recently... is there something I'm unaware of happening with youtube and the save option?
Actually rabbits aren't supposed to eat a lot of seeds, they can actually block their digestive system and cause GI stasis and fruit is only supposed to be given as a small treat. A rabbit diet should be around 80% hay with small portions of leafy greens and about a handful of nuggets daily though mine also have access to unlimited hay.
But yeah, rabbits should only eat carrots as an occasional treat, though their favourite part is the green top. That said, mine prefer bananas, they get so excited when I give them a small chunk of banana! 😁
Rabbits WILL eat the green tops off a carrot in the garden. I've seen them do it. But, yeah, I don't think a rabbit will dig up a carrot just to munch it.
As a carrot misconception it should be noted that eating carrots does not improve your eyesight. The eating of carrots was a ruse used by England to explain how their fighter pilots were able to have such success against the Nazi aircraft headed to England - "superior eyesight from a diet high in carrots" was a scam to protect the newly invented radar that gave the British pilots such an advantage.
They chew them to help wear their teeth down from growing to long
Nyaaa, shoulda toined left at Albakoikie🐰
Hi. New subscriber here. Love the Lists. Was wondering if you could add more pictures to the item you're discussing. Thank you 😊
I'll talk to the team
The only man who might think about sex every second seconds is maybe Glen Quagmire from Family Guy.
🤣😬🤣😃😆😭😅🤣
Teenage boys, tho...
Actually that'd be four and a half seconds. Giggidy.
You are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am!
There is apparently no such thing as an alpha male wolf.
Correct. The researcher who came up with that theory recanted it, saying his data was wrong.
There is alpha betti spaghetti.
Another great video. Thank you!
Not all mammals however, can spell mammals....
Yup. Typo lol
