Everyone who starts watching, then enjoys, then loves watching you're videos, knows how responsible and serious you are about Small Animal Care! You Love your Ratties Emi! But, Life happens and changes!
I've been watching your videos and learning about rat care since my first rats, about 4-5 years ago. Thank you for teaching me throughout the years and I understand why you are stopping owning rats, I will miss that content but am looking forward to future videos! ❤❤
I had the same kind of anxiety with my last guinea pig, he was super old and I knew he’d be my last - it didn’t help that he’d sleep with his eyes open and I’m 90% sure he was deaf, so he would react when you called him.
I feel for you with the rats, I feel similarly with my eldest guinea pig. She will be 9 in August and every time I open the door my heart drops if shes not moving!
There's a reason why they call them chaos potatoes, lol. And we all know that you can have plenty of chaos with every age. ❤ tis the season to drown in a fog of shedding fluff, lol.
Recently my little white mouse passed away. I had her only 6 months. It was heart aching to watch your videos after my little pet died. I was dealing with all that involved and was just too sad. Sorry to say that was why I unsubsidized. I did hear you talk about your issue with owning rats so I fully understood and support your decision. But my timing was a bit poor. I have continued to see your postings because RU-vid still shows me. But I'm not going to get any pets for a while so I'm best off not watching for now. But today's blog title intrigued me and I realized I do enjoy your vlogs. Glad to see your mice today. ❤
I personally think it’s absolutely normal to stop owning certain animals for what ever reason I have had Guinea pigs for the last ( years , I gathered a lot of them pretty quickly and faced pretty much every health problem that piggies can have and lost a few along the way and adopted some I have 5 senior pigs and 2 young ones right now but that’s it for me 2 youngsters are fosters but so far no one wanted then so they would be my last piggies I really would like to get a couple of chins and possibly 3 ratites later on if I can find reputable breeder or for rehoming I know rats are awesome but their health problems scary me a bit but chins are the healthiest of all the rodents so definitely chins are first on my list ❤️❤️
Have to say when you said "you won't be owning rat no more" struck me that you won't. I know you been mentioning it for awhle. Awww the naked rat so cute. I have 4 naked boys. The chinchilla boy is so beautiful! Is he albino? My boy snuffleupagus is beige and my other boy Nosferatu is albino. Can wait to see the new chin calls video and story.
Hello! What bedding is best for mice? The one i use at the moment is quite dusty so im thinking of using a different one but im not sure wht to swich to.
I love your vlogs so much and I can't wait for more chinchilla content! ♥ Do you already know where your two last rats are going to move once Kinder has passed away? (edit: nevermind, I just found the answer in the comments :)) How do you currently feel about owning mice? Do they cause any allergy symptoms at all or can you continue owning them without any problems at all? (Oh, and I LOVE the wildlife footage!!)
Since these will be your last rats for the foreseeable future, what will you do when theres only one left? I’m in a similar situation with my rat journey and am wondering! Would you rehome? Does it depend on their age?
I might do, but she lives about 2.5 hours away from me! Luckily they’re not really rats that are bothered about interacting with me in the way kinder is
I made a comment earlier about how I hate hearing you say that you’re not owning rats and I just wanted to tell you that I use too strong of words when I said that I just fell in love with you and your rats and will be a little bit sad when I don’t see videos about them anymore so I apologize for using such strong language about it❤️ and am I missing something or is kinder the only one you have left??
is there a risk of you being allergic to mice as well? seems like they would be similar but ofc they are different speicies so thats why im asking sorry if its a silly question
I’m not sure but probably not. They don’t produce anywhere near as much ammonia / urine as rats and that’s what I’m allergic to. Female rats tend to irritate allergies left and having mostly female mice / neutered males would help if I was allergic but they’ve never bothered me 😊
