This is why we do what we do. Animal conservation in the modern world matters, we're out there living it and doing it every day. This is real life, these stories are real, and our sole purpose is education in action for you so that you can learn something new every day and one day perhaps get involved yourself. It's that simple.
Let's create a new generation of educated reptile keepers & animal enthusiasts by spreading the love!
21:13 🐢 He was like "You mess with my boy parts, I mess up yours" 😂
Never mess around
🤣
Lol🤣 why dont you upload videos Elissa?
@@houserv__ what videos
These three beautiful giants and Slinky are the main reason I keep coming to this channel. Love it when you talk with them, about them. I am so glad Darwin is doing better. Stay safe🙏🏼🐢🐢🐢
I know there's something to be learned in every video, occasionally cloaked in entertainment! Also it's very gratifying to watch Kenan act immediately at the smallest sign of distress with any of his animals. You have demonstrated this, Kenan, time and again. That is probably one of the most important things to learn from you! Stay safe 🙏 and healthy 🐢🐢🐢🐢 thank you!
Well said ♡
Eye for an eye, you lifted him and he got you in the tackle box 🤣🤣🤣
man you are one good caretaker, can even see this type of injury
I'm so glad you caught that infection before it effected her too much ♡
I admire how you really truly take care of your animals AND you remember each one; not only their name, sex, & where/when you got them... But you remember SO MUCH about their species and their specific needs.
Not everyone can have so many animals and remember so much about each one.
I remember when Socrates got sick and he had to push those fluids on him every single day :(
Wishing Lady Darwin a speedy recovery, she such a beautiful tortoise. Nostradamus definitely got you back and tried to have a little sulk until you gave him cuddles. Cuddles always wins with Nos 🤗🐢🤗🐢🤗🐢🤗
I rescued a Sulcata last year. Rocky is 50 pounds and is a hoot to watch! The dogs don’t bother him a bit!
The voice change was hilarious 😂🤣😂🤣
Lol, “He flashed me his tacklebox”
What a beautiful tortoise. Nostradamus (?) shell is so round and shiny. Also I didn't know that these giant tortoises could use one of their front feet to help them bite off tough fibrous food without falling over. Always learning something new :D
Small tortoises do it too. I have a Russian Tortoise who does the same thing ;p
Love seeing the medical side of things required to responsibly care for your animals. It’s good that people learn all sides of proper husbandry. Your videos are awesome and super interesting.
So glad to see your channel growing even faster and happy to see that you’re reaching such a diverse audience.
Awwww, I love the giant shell puppies!
I love watching them interact with you. When you feed them, they really seem happy. I can't raise a reptile myself, so I watch your videos to learn how it's done. Maybe someday I can get one, who knows?
I don't know if this matters, but I am a sixty-seven year old female, probably not representative of your viewing audience. Age means nothing if you love something, you love it and I love animals, including all herps.
Great treatment video! I have had to get rid of some dead shell before to expose an abscess to help clean it and heal, not fun but the tortoise recovered 100%. You are 100% correct about how quickly you have to catch turtle and tortoise issues!
She's such a gentle giant
every single time you post your story its an inspiration to so many people out here and I can't thank you enough for allowing us to be part of your journey through this life
Good on you for showing the veterinary part of it, it's a good teaching point. Nice vid.
Tea tree oil (derivative of an Australian tree) on a cotton swab kills SO many types of bacteria, including MRSA. It is an excellent antibacterial application that doesn't break the bank. I hope she perseveres through this issue. You have excellent husbandry skills with all your animals. Thank you for your diligent observance.
Thanks. Sorry.
No worries! I just want you to get help for your little sweetie!
Appreciate that😁
Get well soon Darwin. We all love you 🐢❤️❤️
@@darwincoutinho7741 i think he meant the tortoise not you lol😅😅
Glad ya caught it fast ! When you own reptiles I swear you gotta be a carpenter a biologist a vet and much more LOL but I love it !
Awe poor torty! Get well soon Darwin.
I hope your galapagos gets better soon 😊
Love Darwin’s smile x
note: I watched this
hope the tortoise gets better! I have two tortoises myself and they all have their own personality and I love them, hope she recovers well ❤️ 🙏
I’m so glad she’s ok. Thanks for showing every side of tortoise keeping. I appreciate learning from your experiences. The bond I have with my Hermann’s tortoise is unmeasurable and I see you have the same bond with your giant tortoises.
Hope she heals up completely and quickly
Feel better soon Darwin!!!!
Nos is gorgeous he has the sweetest face 😍 Hope Darwin is all healed up soon. Stay safe xx
Not often we get to see how you care for your animals in a medical fashion but when we do, were not disappointed!
Very good care of your animals as always, great content, you're a natural at keeping us entertained, keeping us returning for more content.
Thanks for all you do Mr H, looking forward to your next video, all the best to Darwin, she will be absolutely fine, thankfully you've caught that early and as we know, with infections, timing is imperative! Good job mate 👍
From a Canadian: Wishing you and yours a safer and saner four years.
Please leave politics off the channel.
Kenan! I love your videos and the work you do! I wanted to suggest you DO NOT re-cap needles like that! I'm sure someone else has said this in the comments but I couldn't find one. Needle sticks will happen eventually! I know there isn't a bloodborne communicable disease between torties and us, but you can't be too careful, especially when dealing with something like staph/MRSA. I recapped a needle just like that after giving an alpaca an injection accidentally stuck myself, then got a nasty infection in my finger that had to be drained. What you can do instead is put the cap on a flat surface and scoop it up with the needle! Rock on man!
Feel better soon Darwin x
If I were a tortoise 🐢 I would wanna love is this Sanctuary. This is how ya take care of animals folks!
I think you're galapagos tortoises are some of the most entertaining
Get better Darwin!! Great fun you have such a great dad who keeps such a good eye on you guys! 🐢 ❤️
Hope she's feeling better! She's so adorable!! My little Russian tortie just had a major abscess surface from under her rt "shoulder" scute--apparently she had it for over a year, before I rescued her! (No smell, no tenderness, no blood or pus--just one day her scute cracked and so did a little bit of the bone below!) She is doing very well--has her ceftaz injections (0.2 mL vs. Darwin's 15 mL!), and daily chlorhex wound flushes and daily silver sulfadiazidine cream applications. The first few injections were a disaster, but we have it down now!
I hate to see one of your animals sick but I’m happy to see that she’s gonna be okay
I love the way you talk to your animals! Great content always! Thank you
I don't know if they told you this when giving you instructions on dissolving the antibiotic (reconstitution), but it will help if you first remove 5 mL of air from the antibiotic vial before injecting the 5 mL of sterile water. This helps keep the pressure normal inside of the vial, but if you haven't had any issues then it's not a big deal. Just a tip! I wouldn't do the same (or reverse, rather) with the sterile water since you don't want to introduce non-sterile air to the container.
Also I noticed you holding the vial sideways for the camera while drawing up the solution. I recommend holding it upright (upside-down with the syringe underneath) so you get it all.
👍
This was an awesome video! Everyone needs a Tortoise! They are so fascinating! Thank you Kenan for being so transparent always!! Love you!
Great video on an important aspect of caring for these magnificent creatures! Your love for them really shows. Keep up the excellent work, Kenan!
Get well soon darwin
Ger well soon Darwin 💕 I know how you feel about caring for your animals. Just had to rescue an animal myself. An opossum had moved in with my colony of cats and got attacked by a dog. Neighbors assumed he was dead b/c he didn't move for 2 days. Got a call today and he was still moving and about to be vulture food. Just sent him off to a wildlife rehab. I'll miss my buddy Patrick though 😢
I love how Kenan is teaching us about reptiles and also says jokes
Love the tortoises! 🐢🐢 get well Darwin 🥰
Usually don't laugh with you're videos but today it was definitely worth the laugh even though it was painful on you're end
So glad you caught that infection early she is one of my favorites of those lovely tortoises also I would love to meet next time I am in Florida
Or if you find yourself in arizona
Poor guy. I hope he recovers. 💙💙💙💙 and i love your content.
Darwin, perfect name for a Galapagos tortoise, love it.
Oh I hate injections, when you showed the pushback from the gasses oh my. Darwin if far braver than I. 💯
Needles are tough one for a lot people
I'd be curious if the same treatment we use for an abcessed hoof on a horse would work for this. Same hard keratin shell after all, we take a diaper and fill it with an equal parts mix of epsom salt and ichthammol to form, well a fairly digusting paste to be honest, slap it over the abcess and then make a duct tape bandage to hold it in place. We generally leave it until it falls off.
Awww! I Hope she gets better soon! 💚💕
So glad you caught the abscess early. A girlfriend for nos would be amazing.
I laughed so hard when you did that high pitched voice 😂
I learn so much from your videos, I have a blue tongued skink myself and had a lot of bearded dragons in the past. I would love a tortoise someday but I want to keep it in my garden and I don't own one yet.
I hope Darwin feels better soon! I think she already does cause you take such good care of your animals! ❤️
I think you should go on tv, animal planet! 😍
I hope Darwin gets better soon
You look so young again with the beard trimmed! Hope Darwin feels better soon!
I love All of them 🐢💚🐢💚🐢
I hope Darwin will be ok . Love your vids Kenan
Your attitude is so great 😘🤠 😜
Love from India 😘😘😘😘
Hope Darwin gets better soon.
Awesome video. Please stay safe within this crazy storm.
Fall has hit south Florida, we got 15cm of snow yesterday in Edmonton
@Jamey Craig Alberta, Canada. Just East of the Rocky Mountains, Straight north of Montana.
I hope she gets better
Hey man thanks for these videos, really given me a new outlook on the world of reptiles and nature in general. All the best to the lady a speedy recovery!
Man, your videos are always amazing
She's so funny with the cactus 🌵. With my dog cream cheese works. After the infection cleared will you seal up the shell?
Magnificent .✌️🙏 Stay safe. Many blessings ✌️🙏
Hope poor Darwin gets well real soon 💋💋🐢🐢
Another amazing informative video
I love how you interact with all your animals Kenan 🤗 It’s beyond me how you remember all there names 🤯 & I love how if there are any illnesses to be delt with big/small your on the ball, Keep up the great work you do 😍 Ime new to your Chanel ( couple months) came by it by chance & now I carn’t stop watching
Love love love from the UK 🐢 🤠
“Flashed his tackle box” 😂😂
I love the care you give your pets, dare I say babies but may I make a suggestion, antibiotics usually are a really irritating medication, they really sting and hurt. That's why we administer then intramuscularly.
I adore your passion for your tortoise brethren. I would love to own one, but Apartment life in Michigan is not conducive :).
The high pitch voice is hilarious😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 “So basically guys” 😂😂😂😂
No more beard? Looking even better Kenan!
I’ve only ever saw one of these guys in a zoo I was 4 years old and I never ever forgot it I honestly thought they
We’re only found on the Galápagos Islands I thought they were protected I’m not sure what You do yet but I’m guessing you may rescue them awesome vid there amazing beasts
I'm just glad I can still watch the Kamp
You hurt Nostradamus feelings, but he got even with the foot to the goods!
I didn't know that could even happen good information.
The high pitched voice at the end😂😂😂
The eggs and temperature are easy to remember with a silly mnemonic...
🔥 hot chicks and ❄️ cool dudes.
Higher temp makes females and lower makes males
This is the case for sea turtles anyway. I assume it’s the same for tortoises?
And the same for crocodiles! Maybe also for more reptilian, maybe someone else has a idea.
@@michaw.2168 Also the same for my wife
@@michaw.2168 Not really. It generally favours the females, especially for crocodilians(not sure about either reptile), in a natural incubation there will be varying degrees of temperature, and the higher and colder temps typically will produce mostly females, and then there is a sweet spot of temp(most artificially incubators will hold it) where males will develop, along with females(this is just what I read, not a breeder). and that is because a female can only have 1 clutch per year, and a male could breed multiple times per year.
I can most defiantly be wrong, and that is fine, I'm ok with being schooled.
@@DelcoTrash lmaoo
I love a good giant tortoise video!! They are so beautiful and healthy. I’ll never be mad at a nice loooong video about your big Galops!! (Hint for making it longer!🤣)🐢❤️🐢
Tortoise: hmm human doesn't need his baby bags
Kamp: Voice suddenly rises to uncanny levels
Tortoise: Human in his nateral habitat nothing to see here.!
Get well soon Darwin!!! 🐢❤️

Major Tortoise Love from Seattle , WA
I truly dig the large tortoise videos!!! Get well soon Darwin!!!
Amazing video. I love your giant tortoises. Would love to see you get your hands on a huge male galapagos
Darwin is gorgeous!! Glad you're on the mend!!
This vid was so satisfying.
And that's why I'm happy to live in New Zealand after recent events over your way
@Jamey Craig as long as wee keep to our protocols we will be fine as a country compared to everyone else
19:48 It was sooo Cuteee🤩🤩🤩🥰
Poor Nos was so offended you showed all of youtube his under-carriage. Like "No man, we're not okay." And then 2 mins later he's like "Hey man, I got to hit you below the belt, so water under the bridge I guess."
Oh wow, that small of an area on that big of a tortoise.
Tell your turtle I love.all of them and the other animals
Oh no not Darwin hope she be ok x
great video and hi kamp kenan!! i hope all is well. have a good evening.
You do good work.
aww bless i know darwin will be okay 'nurse' kanan to the rescue :) everything you do mesmerizes me
I know this about Darwin but I am happy to see that you have shaved your beard it was getting out of control ,just me !
ceftazidime over baytril any day of the week, one thing you didnt mention is that it's possible for the animal to end up with baytril burns. Plus I just find baytril never gets the job done on the first course.
