Gerbil Insists On Being Swaddled For His Naps | The Dodo 

Animals that small don’t need the pesticides.

So sweet and I agree! ❤

This is the most precious thing ever ! ! ! 🤩😍🥰🤎🥰🤩😍

I was going to say the same!! That is true understanding of relationship with our babies!! Very good woman, very lovely little guy!! ❤❤

​@@katsybowhat?

I know right. Lol

If you wish to live like this gerbil buy a cage for yourself too 😂 and become someone's prisoner for life.

90%? Sorry, but nah fam.

Exactly!

Just my thoughts

In my next life I want to come back and have a life like this little nugget.

Rats are just as cool 😎

LOL!

His slippers he has on at the end are my favorite!!

Yeah, can I have this lady take care of me? Maru has everything provided and lots of extra luxury provisions along the way. It does seem like a one-way relationship, though. She does everything for him, and what does he give her in return? Well, maybe some pleasure in caring for a needy little animal and some entertainment in watching the little guy doing his thing.

🤗

You made me laugh.

Sweet, but prob would like a same species friend.

Very true. To him it’s just a gilded cage. Another OTT human imposing their anthropomorphism fetish on animals.

For real

He’s living the soft life

This squirrel hamster eats and sleeps all day

Agree with you completely. I dont feel so over the top silly about myself doing the most for any animal Im around a lot and especially my own.

Absolutely! Just like human babies, animals also don't choose to be born nor which family they'll end up with. They bring so much joy, love and humour, and it is an honour to care for them. Not enough people think seriously enough before committing to having them. ❤

Hes living the dream for me 😂

@@jamespaul6315😂😂truth!

@@jamespaul6315 ME TOO!! LOL I'm living vicariously thru this little cutie pie!

Except for the mealworms, I'd take it!

@@IMeMineWho I'm pretending it's cheesecake 😅😇

“OTT and ridiculous but I’m here for it 100%” I want this to be my life slogan 😂

It's not over the top or ridiculous ❤❤

@@AB-ju1iiit absolutely is. We support it, but it's ridiculous.

Most vegans care, but just leave animals alone as most want 🐥🐥🐥

Why do u think she loves her animal more than others?... Just cuz she spoils it rotten?...

The world needs more people like Maru's mom. What a beautiful soul!

​@@dansemacabre6515you need to get out more

@@dansemacabre6515 Yes, I agree. This video made me cry happy tears. 🥲

Vegan meat org 🐥🐣🐥

It killed me and I welled-up too 😭💗

Right, omg i was dying 😭 over it.. hes not spoiled, hes loved...lol

We should all be this loved in life

And his little green sandals and hats at the end!!! 😭🥰

@@Terri_MacKay Absolutely! The entire video was sweet...

@colleenlally-ross7105 that’s the sad part about pets we live such long lives and they take up so little but leave a lifetime of memories

Every gerbil/hamster deserve this life

This is wonderful. I’ve heard such terrible stories of people mistreating gerbils and this is a relief.

I totally agree thank you for this comment I was searching for it, it's important to spread awareness like this

GERBSTER

It is a so called Fat-Tailed gerbil. They use their tails to store fat in just like camels use their humbs. This specimen actually has a rather slim tail, indicating he isn't that old yet. Fat tailed gerbils are very funny pets. They tend to live a bit longer than the more commonly seen Mongolian Gerbils and are smaller, with very, very soft and fluffy coats. In contrast to Mongolian Gerbils, they are solitary animals and are more nocturnal as well. Fair warning...they are on the black list in some countries. Meaning you can't own them as a pet without a permit.

@@ChallieWalliethanks for the warning. He is cuter with a fluffy face.

These little critters appreciate the good life as much as we do...My guinea pigs always ❤️ going places in their pet stroller whether it's at the local park or at the mall among other places😄.

Me too! 😭

His little wood bed ❤

I love his little slippers and hats at the end ❤❤❤

Finally beginning to feel like Fall. Leaves are falling, air is cooler and days are getting shorter. Bring on the sports! 😊

@@NelsonAnthony-ww6jh Your repeated comments to female posters are annoying and unnecessary.. nobody will answer you here.

They don't. And she should not lay him on his back. She probably means well, but a Gerbil is not a human baby. A prey animal is very vulnerable on its back. Maybe he can't even get up. Just because he eventually "falls asleep" doesn't mean he's doing well. It could also be stress exhaustion. My gerbils gave themselves a good brushing before going to sleep. This one actually looks greasy and unkempt, despite the sand baths. And something has gone seriously wrong with the tail.

That’s one of the funniest things I’ve read today

@@Fernando_Whitmore 🤣🤣

She’s way too old.

​@@ShaunHensleywhat u mean...in her 20s, she's probably 25 😕

@@Bluewatercat Really? I thought she was like 38+ Anyway, see no sign of a man in her life, that's a horrible environment to raise a child, the stats are in

​@@ShaunHensleydang I didn't expect to see an incel on a Dodo video. I mean, 38? Really? Have you never seen a woman in your life?

This made my day! I just love it

What a terrible replacement for a child. Absolutely lost culture. Ffs

@@AsteroidRespecter Sorry, I never wanted kids & right now I'm too old to ever have any anyways. Not everyone is 'called' to have kids or should have them.

THIS IS A PERSON THAT LOVES HER PET. ❤️ NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THAT.

DON'T JUDGE IF YOU DON'T KNOW. YOUR SARCASM SUCKS!!

i didn't think they were nocturnal they just nap frequently

That's no gerbil... they don't need nearly they much food. Or look like that

@NelsonAnthony-ww6jh how's the weather in stalker land?
