I think this guy has a really great operation going on. The cages looked clean and so did the inhabitants :D Also notice how he picked them up, none of them fought him or tried to bite, they actually were real chill and friendly. I think they have a decent enough life like this and I like the overall idea. The diet he keeps them on is also super clean and eco-friendly. Big like!
Yeah, I remember watching a programme about a Chinese farm that raised Bamboo Rats as well and it was pretty well run. It seems like the animal is easy to raise, reproduces well in captivity, and, well, easy to feed. Frankly, I think the concerns are probably to do with parasites and, I'd wager, that the bamboo rats could become invasive species in other countries. That's my guess at least.
@@Fledermausmannif it's eating nothing but bamboo than you don't gotta worry about parasites other than from cross contamination. Pigs are much more likely to have parasites because their fed rotten meat and alot of places feed the scraps from butchered pigs back to the pigs which causes horrible diseases , that's why we can't have pork from other countries in America, only fda regulated American pork
I like Andrews stuff but, don't fool yourself. Bamboo rate eat bamboo roots not cane, they do eat sugar cane and forage on a night for seeds and fruit like other rat species. Inform yourself before claiming this is an acceptable practice. On the other side of the coin your poultry are not fed a complete diet either but, you have no issues with eating a mc chicken burger hey.
and at a better profit possibly.... so sad. however, i cant imagine a factory farm of these rats being any higher quality than the factory farm chickens.
@@howtopostvideos cage free/free range chickens are not cheap....why can't we raise all chicken that way? why keep them in cramp spaces where they can barely move, because they don't care....only how fast they can make them mature faster and sell them quickly.....
Yeah they live in a burrows under bamboo in the wild and gnaws on its roots. where they live, if you pass by where bamboo grows, you can hear it gnawing underground very loudly
i saw some videos about farming videos of salt water fish on a house barge, they say that the biggest cost is the feed. but seems like these bamboo rats seems like it's more economical for the farmers, since bamboo and sugar canes are easy to grow and they grow fast. great video andrew. almost like real documentary style but lighter and fun.
I'm in the process of making a cheeseburger and I might not agree or understand what other cultures eat. Who am I to talk trash about people who love eating rats. I only have an issue with those who eat endangered animals because they believe you will perform better in the bedroom. From Rhinos, Elephants and hundreds of other rare species that won't survive in our lifetime if things don't change. I would rather see commercial farming than extinction
Don’t worry, these are not endangered. China banned the unlicensed selling of all wild animals, mainly to prevent another SARS or COVID. Farm raised are the only ones legally sold…in theory…
How is this sustainable? It's factory farming animals and feeding them diets that will change their evolution. Just like mc Donald makes humans fat and unhealthy, then they pass the genetics back onto the wild. I like Andrews stuff but, don't fool yourself.

Ultraviolet radiation in sunlight at low doses prevents vitamin D deficiency, whilst prolonged exposure is carcinogenic. Visible light is considered harmless, until you focus it at a point and it burns your skin. Water, a vital and arguably the safest and healthiest thing you can consume, will kill you if you ingest too much, too quickly. Organic farmers use agricultural 30% acetic acid as weed killer, we call 5% acetic acid solutions that we eat 'vinegar'. You need to suit up when spraying 30% acetic acid on plants because it's harmful to humans when it gets on the skin, eyes or lungs, and yet you would be perfectly happy to eat crops grown in areas treated with agricultural acetic acid because it is either safe to ingest or breaks down rapidly into harmless products in the soil. Farmers need to suit up because very often chemicals and chemical by-products that are safe to ingest, are not safe at high concentrations and prolonged exposure. The dose makes the poison and this is why it's perfectly fine to eat food grown by a farmer who has to use PPE during spraying. Don't be one of those people that eat up low IQ, two bit dramatic fear mongering by 'mother earth knows best' authority figures that latch onto the 1% of bad that comes out of the 99% of amazing scientific advancement to horticultural sciences, it really is for your own good to realise that just because a loved one raises your blood pressure occasionally, that ultimately you are healthier with one than without one, and taking the advice of whatever incel or femcel that is in vogue nowadays is just going to make you both miserable and stupid.

*"...flavored like dog meat..."* is a phrase that will haunt my nightmares till the day I die. And they say it so casually, as if eating a *DOG* was ok. Thank whatever it was that made me *NOT* be born a dog killing Asian.
In India kerala their is an variety called pig Rat the rat size of wildboar. Tribes and lower cast people used to eat huge python,pigrats ,black cats etc.
a circular saw is a skill saw and is a hand tool. that stationary plunging blade is called a chop saw because of the motion of the cut. it can also be called a (double) compound miter saw, depending on the ability to tilt the blade to an angle and make precise cuts for finish work.
It's really insane that at first I followed your channel because of interest in watches but then transformed into cultural rats eating and food documentaries but I like it 😂
I don't want to be too pedantic as they are definitely expensive but they are _not_ more expensive than Wagyu. In some cases, not even close. $75 per kilo is pretty expensive, especially for food in Vietnam but I don't think you can get Wagyu for $75 a kilo _anywhere._ If you are getting Wagyu for $75 a kilo, I don't think you are buying Wagyu.
These Bamboo Rats look like an adorable hamster, WTF? Can they just find something else to eat instead or maybe change them to household pets so people would stop eating them....
That guy has been breeding his bamboo rats well, they are quite docile. I remember before the pandemic, I watched a video about a chinese farmer talking about his bamboo rats. They were kinda feisty.
not even close to as good as beef, the reason these people don't eat beef is that they don't raise cattle in that part of the world it' that simply has nothing to do with what is best or better.
I am sure bamboo rats taste great but it ain't wagyu beef by any means. Well done meat cooked with lemon grass, sugar, fish sauce, and heavy spices can make almost any meat taste good. "There's a sucker born every minute" P.T. Barnum. Happy eating!

@@EastCoastReefer That is such a terrible take and an uneducated guess as best. Just because something sounds logical in your head doesn't mean it's true. @HT-vb1qw You can say the same for any farm animal. Every animals are cute when they are babies.
@@kaorynguyen6812 LOL You clearly are the uneducated one. I grew up in a rural village in Vietnam many moons ago. There was no such thing as running water or electricity. I lived in a hut and off the land. We ate whatever we could catch, else we go hungry. I can assure you that the government was not there to help us hunt. Haha. Rodents were a staple and played a key role in our survival. 🤡
We could make a new rule about eating meat that you need to cuddle the creature type you eat on a periodic basis for a licence to eat them. Like if you want to eat anonymous supermarket pink protein slabs then we can create those now but if it was alive you must have experienced it.
UH... as a Canadian, I can most confidently say, these are pretty much Beavers without the paddle tail, web feet and oily/water-resistant coat...... Eating Beaver - What a concept ;)
Hey Andrew, have you ever tried dog meat? Would you try it? Would you do a video on it or is it banned on TH-cam? I’d watch it from you, half eyes closed and maybe vomit, but I would like to see how they marinate the meat. I know it’s cruel….just a tad interested because I know when I was in Hanoi they had it in some Restaurants on the menu and once I saw it I walked out! Grose! Poor things. One day as I was watching crispier pork clips on TH-cam, the algorithms came up with a image of what I thought was roast pork. I went into the video only 5 seconds later realised it was about dog meat…. So disgusting. The shop owners hung them up like roast pork! Horrifying!
8:32 I also noticed that. And tbh, i was used to the prejustice that in general southeast asian people dont handle animals respectfully. But this is a great example of the opposite. Always great to learn.
my gradfather had NUTRIA ( polish name), he was farming them like he had 10 of them back in early 90s. but people forgot about this source of food nova days.
Reminds me of the Capybara in South America. It's the largest living rodent in the world and is a delicacy there. However, they could it simply by deep frying up to 3 times in 3 different pots of cooking oil, each at a different temperature.
Love your work Andrew! Peace, love and mung beans from Melbourne.... Just joking! 😉 Seriously dude, I fucking love your content and am so jealous of your lifestyle. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic video, loved hearing you converse in vietnamese it makes it very organic, just a conversation between two interested parties, most documentaries feel a bit artificial when they make cuts that you know are to chop out a third party translator speaking :)
Thanks Andrew. Wish these animals are also able to roam freely as well rather than being caged 24/7. I don't believe the claim of Free Range Chickens here in the West, but believe there is so much land there.

To be honest it's not a rat, it's actually more of a gopher or beaver.

Halo do you have a link or title of this salt water vid?
LMAO, fighting over bamboo sticks is hella cute.
Maybe American Wagyu or Australian Wagyu. Japanese Wagyu meat costs almost $300 a kilo

5:29 how strange these small creatures with a tiny mouth can chew on and eat hard bamboo! Fascinating
Rodents teeth grow like nails, so eating bamboo is actually good because it grinds down their continuously growing teeth

I lived in a hut and off the land. We ate whatever we could catch, else we go hungry. I can assure you that the government was not there to help us hunt. Haha. Rodents were a staple and played a key role in our survival. 🤡
@@kaorynguyen6812 I was born and raised in a rural village in Vietnam many moons ago. And I assure you I am more educated than you. Lol
Subbed to both of you!!! What an exciting video!! YUM!!
I forgot about this channel until I remembered I knew him when he was with Sonny made a video back in the day. Resubscribed.
nice vid and content for both learning and for fun! nice job andrew!
Glad to see my country being featured :)
Thanks for another awesome content Andrew and team., Cheers from Canada 😀
People saying eating 🐀 is disgusting 🤢🤮
🐷 Be like: what am I B*THES?!?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When people on the show Alone catch and eat porcupines, the meat looks so delicious and fatty.
We could make a new rule about eating meat that you need to cuddle the creature type you eat on a periodic basis for a licence to eat them.
Like if you want to eat anonymous supermarket pink protein slabs then we can create those now but if it was alive you must have experienced it.
Those aren't potatoes but yams.
UH... as a Canadian, I can most confidently say, these are pretty much Beavers without the paddle tail, web feet and oily/water-resistant coat...... Eating Beaver - What a concept ;)
Hey Andrew, have you ever tried dog meat? Would you try it? Would you do a video on it or is it banned on TH-cam? I’d watch it from you, half eyes closed and maybe vomit, but I would like to see how they marinate the meat. I know it’s cruel….just a tad interested because I know when I was in Hanoi they had it in some Restaurants on the menu and once I saw it I walked out! Grose! Poor things.
One day as I was watching crispier pork clips on TH-cam, the algorithms came up with a image of what I thought was roast pork. I went into the video only 5 seconds later realised it was about dog meat…. So disgusting. The shop owners hung them up like roast pork! Horrifying!
A hindu will kill you for eating a burger. They consider ot a sacrilege and way more than just merely "gross".
$60 don’t get you any Wagyu or King Crab in the States.
King crab is very cheap in the state of alaska.
Rat seems
Healthy since they only eat bamboo
Loving the content❤
8:32 I also noticed that. And tbh, i was used to the prejustice that in general southeast asian people dont handle animals respectfully. But this is a great example of the opposite. Always great to learn.
my gradfather had NUTRIA ( polish name), he was farming them like he had 10 of them back in early 90s.
but people forgot about this source of food nova days.
Thumb up to you man not running away from the shrimp paste.
I love all the videos I have seen so far keep it up Andrew!
Reminds me of the Capybara in South America. It's the largest living rodent in the world and is a delicacy there. However, they could it simply by deep frying up to 3 times in 3 different pots of cooking oil, each at a different temperature.
THEY GOT SAME TEETH AS JARED KUSHNER😂😂😂😂😂
They Have No Respect For the Animals They Are Treated Like Garbage.
Disrespectful person
I know them rats r like why tf you man handling me by my tail lmao hold me like a regular animal lmfao
Love your work Andrew!
Peace, love and mung beans from Melbourne....
Just joking! 😉
Seriously dude, I fucking love your content and am so jealous of your lifestyle.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the ongoing support man!
@@Andrew_Fraser it's the least I can do mate.
I don't have the means of supporting you monetarily, so this is the least I can do.
atleast this guy is farming those animals in a sutainable way instead of poaching them from the wild ...
Fantastic video, loved hearing you converse in vietnamese it makes it very organic, just a conversation between two interested parties, most documentaries feel a bit artificial when they make cuts that you know are to chop out a third party translator speaking :)
Thanks Andrew. Wish these animals are also able to roam freely as well rather than being caged 24/7. I don't believe the claim of Free Range Chickens here in the West, but believe there is so much land there.
Free range rat huh 🤔
Woken person
Andrew, you have strong and clear voice. I enjoy watching you video.
The potatoes are actually taro root. Just fyi!
This channel is the best. I've just subscribed.
Top grade A5 wagyu is worlds more expensive than this, but I understand it’s a clickbait and it’s seem to have worked
Appreciate these mid bite reviews!
Let's see more of tank top girl.
