Let's create a new generation of educated reptile keepers & animal enthusiasts by spreading the love!
Dwarf caiman's are notorious for being shy. Plus they're mainly nocturnal so they'll hunt during the night. I think if the plants start to bloom in the enclosure like a jungle they'll probably be more confident.
yup, not a lot of hiding spots or water, they probably just feel to vulnerable and need some time to adjust
Yea Kenan probably didn't know that😉
And if he stops annoing them too
Yeah I think that to
@17:32 Awwwww... Look how cute of a *"Caiman Couple"* they are @ *"The Love Creek"* (i.e. Love Shack) ! LOL ! @17:30
LOL
These guys are stressed because they are out in the open , not in heavily forested jungle. Fred’s place was basically a forest. Might be good to bring in something like a shade cloth to hang over large portions of the enclosure so they feel less exposed until the plants grow in more.
Yes, a cover of shade coth, and maybe some potted trees and large leafy plants. Fill it in more.
I suspected the same thing actually, but I have no handling experience with crocodilians, so what do I know 😅
That would help, but almost all Paleosuchus stop eating when they are moved. Just let them chill they will eat eventually.
got to play as you in an old xbox dave mirra game yesterday...super fun
Yessss!!!!!!
Asif what games
Il buy em just to be kenan
Classic - Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2
Oh yeah wasn’t he into Bmx big time
Kenan!
They come from heavy planted enclosures and probably didn't get messed with a lot while they were with Fred. You should cover both enclosures with shade mess for a while and plant more cover.
Hey Kenan, that really is good news. I know they can go months without eating but like you said. Its good to get them eating asap. 2 out of 3 aint bad. I dont think the male will be long to follow suit
probably would help starting with smaller mice or fish and not rubbing their face aggressively with them.... They will probably start eating regularly once they get used to the environment tho
@@crobbefdfd1946 lol.......
We need a Kamp Kenan after dark episode:) Glad they are starting to eat:)
Great to see that some rats are gone.
But i think you need a different flashlight with a wider light so it is not to bright for there eyes in the dark..
Maybe set up a night camera so you can see there natural behavior in the dark😉
Keep up the great work💪
Much love From the Netherlands 🇳🇱🙋♂️
Hi Kenan, its quite normal for Paleosuchus to not eat for a while when being moved to a different enclosure. I’ve had them for 20 years. The two times I moved, they wouldnt eat for weeks and weeks (even months). Even being in the same enclosure. They are extremely stress prone. They will all eat eventually. ✌🏼
So happy that at least 2 of them ate, now if the big guy would just cooperate 😉! He loves to sit in front of the door so you can't get out lol!
my favorite place to be stuck!
So cool, try feeding them chicken drumsticks:) maybe that will work
So kool! Glad they finally ate. They must be finally getting used to the enclosure & you.
Hey Kenan, random idea after thinking about how they were housed at Freds'. Perhaps you can throw up a visible barrier on the exterior of the cage similar to what you do with the tortoises to give them the feeling of being at home. They may be weirded out by the lines of sight they have and in turn eyes on them.
Lol at you throwing in his mouth...cute & funny
I remember Fred’s enclosure being deeply shaded with mature plants. Maybe they are having some trouble because there is so little shade. A temporary shade mesh might help. Good luck. Happy a couple of them ate!
hello my friend, i keep the same species, you should try it with fish
Maybe a shade cloth over the enclosure would reassure the came in and also keep any birds out
He seems to love sitting at the door blocking you in. lol
Your videos always make my day a little brighter
Although I kind of wish I didn't see the rat lol
Poor rat..that wasn't nice to see🐁🐁
0:18 that was a very nice moment for them. That's love Right There!!!
So very happy to see that the caiman are getting their appetite back. Sure miss seeing Lobo around. Can't wait to see the new and hopefully improved puppy again. He's very smart so I'm sure that he's acing all his tests and you will have a good mannered doggo to keep you and the family company. 👍💯✌🇨🇦🐢🦎🐊🐍🐕
#sueparras you follow his Instagram,lobo is doing amazing going through his puppy training which he needs to order to protect his family(the Right Way) and yes little man is getting bigger
Let's go! This should be fun. Glad to see the caimans are starting to eat. Great video
Not enough cover. Fred had it really thick
My goodness a year ago, it’s reality established now and little angel Marge patrolling all thanks to her dad. Just awesome Kenan 🤙🏻💯🖖🏻
The before and after is truly amazing!
Lol he dropped it when the turtle came for it ha ha that was funny
So glad they started eating! I'm sure the big male will start soon enough!
I think the musk turtles are interrupting the caiman from eating lol. That's why he kept dropping it. Love all animals man! Keep up the great work! 👍🏽
That turtle 🐢 snatched the rat from him 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I died lol
It’s so hilarious that every time that you bring the rat anywhere near him, he closes his eyes.
Try fish like fish that is left in the sun for a few hours or live tilapia from your pond.
i was hoping you would climb out. but he moved like a gentleman
Dat was a great video Kenan great content
I can’t help but laugh when you say your so scared lol silly
YESSSSSSS
Love ur channel n videos
Thank u sir
Peace and love -- stay safe
🙏🤠
I was just at our local zoo and asked what they feed there's and they said fish and worms and crickets and they will eat turtle pellets. I can't rember what kind of fish they eat I do believe crappie was one they mentioned. Thanks for sharing your animals turtles are my favorite would love to own a tortoise one day.
maybe he'll try this. they could be really picky eaters. fish definitely sound better to me than rats but that's just me. 🤣
Or could try crock chow
You gotta chew it up and feed Em like baby birds. Cmon kenan, I thought you knew what you were doing
I don't think he's adjusted yet, but its a good thing they have each other....im sure that brings some comfort.
Good stuff, as many other comments suspect, maybe they'll feel more comfortable, when the place actually grows in and they got more cover
Great Progress!! Good Video. Thanks.
"Im so scared.....no im not" 🤣😂😅
Those caiman are menacing so cool!
Awesome that they are starting to eat and get comfortable. So cool.
They are scared of the turtles... That one dropped the rat when the turtle came for it.. How crazy..
Awesome!! Great that two out of the three ate! 💜❤🧡💙
Love all your habitats....
You need to put up night cameras in those enclosures! That way you can see them eat.. plus watching them at night woukd be a great video to see sincw thats when they usually come out 😁
Hey, first video I saw from ya.
I noticed that the small caiman Lucifer, it looked like the turtle was trying to get the rat out of his mouth.
I don't know if that's the solution.
Hope ya figure it out, and happy to here that things are starting to get better. 😊
wait til you see today's video!
That was so cute , her giving him a hug❣️😊
thats so nice to finally see they trying to eat atleast. :D hopefully the big guy start eating soon aswell!
13:00 That turtle's freaking funny I'll take it🐁🐢👈😂
Hey Kenan! Stop stressing so much! They can easily go a few months without eating. You're doing everything right, which shows with 2/3 eating already. He'll come around. Just let him become more comfy with his new enclosure. ^-^
He's too pushy...They will eat when there hungry
@@Heavens24Angel relax lol
@@Eugenia_Farms 😆😆
Hi bro love the nite vid u should do more of them was great seeing the Carmen great job well done❤️🤙
Awesome news that they are finally eating! 🙏. I love ❤️ that little Lucifer! He’s a cutie 🥰
Keep up the great work!
@13:10 Whoa! The *Mexican Musk Turtle* got jealous & took the mice from the *Lucifer the Caiman* as he grabbed it and then tried to eat it himself !! Haha nature is wild & fun !! @13:10
You gotta let them be. I know you wanna see it eat more then anything but they know when your there watching them. But its great they ate but im sure it wasn't untill you stayed away from them for more then a couple hours. They probably smell you when you're close by watching them. Keep up the hard work brotha.
Ive been super excited for this video caimans are my favorite crocodilians. Wishing you all the best and I am looking forward to future videos. Also you should collab with ole uncle ben and kevin.
:59 seconds in and you Forgot the last step of skinning rats: don’t tell Kate you used her kitchen shears!
She would go nuts😆😆
Amazing video! I'm so happy they're starting to eat, hopefully the male eats soon! I know you mentioned your light was bright, have you ever tried red cellophane over your flashlights? I used to do astronomy a lot and we'd put red cellophane/red lenses on EVERYTHING cause it doesn't ruin your night vision but lets you see really well where you're going. It might be easier on your eyes at least on your night wanderings!
I'm so glad they ate for you. They're settling in
Chandler mentioned a good way to get them eating again is to give them drumsticks!
What did we learn today? 1. Caiman are crepuscular, and should be feed around nightfall. 2. Build two doors to your enclosures! 3. Lucifer's spirit animal is a Nile Crocodile - RAWR!
maybe they dont like rats? maybe a different kind of meat?
I'm glad they are now starting to eat. I would also like to suggest having a night camera haha kakp Kenan after dark vlog is somehow exciting and fun
So glad they're eating now
I had a dwarf caiman for 17 years. He wasn't shy at all. He was always a great eater. He passed away but he was an amazing animal. Illinois has since outlawed the owning of crocodillians which really sucks. I really wish I could have another one.
Amazing night video
Kenan you should try feeding them chicken drum sticks then if they start eating those slowly start trickling in skinned rats
Just a thought since the enclosure is open air couldn't the rats have been taken by a passing bird like a red-tailed hawk or a vulture
Fish , feed him fish brother! You gotta get more coverage for them. Plants, trees or just a shade cloth!
Yeah, good news. Glad they ate
That’s awesome that at least 2 of them ate
Hope those "kitchen shears" aren't kitchen shears no more 😂
Cool vids and animals, u really care for the well being of your pets✌
I am guessing that the flashlight bothers their eyes? That bright white light? Maybe could you put something red over it? Maybe that would bother them less? Just a crazy idea. They use red lights in dark rooms for photography so that is where I got the idea from.
Try steak...Funny how the turtle was like thats mine ! 😁
C'mon Caiman!! EAT!!! U need to adapt to *Caiman Creek* buddy... u belong here, this is your home!!! Eat so it can relax Kenan's psyche, geez la weez!!
Did he feed them chicken 🐓??? They may not like the taste of rats or chicks, but maybe chicken is the way to go. Crazy critters. lol tfs
Very glad they ate ive been worried
My favourite channel on RUclips. Hi kenan from Singapore 🇸🇬 🤘
That’s progress but maybe play some episodes of Fred while feeding them. Perhaps they’ll respond to his voice.
Chandler had the same issue. he got his to eat drumsticks. might be worth a try for a while.
They are so timid for being so aggressive. Even the turtle stole the rat from it. hahahaha
Hey quick question how did they kill the rats before freezing? I ask cuz if they were gased that may be why he keeps spitting it out that's what happened to me when I tried to feed my snakes. They can tell... and I asked the pet shop.
What are the chances that a bird of prey or a turtle didn’t come along and score a free lunch?
Awesome that they're starting to eat. I wonder if they would be more enthusiastic about some of your tilapia?
What made u think they would prefer skinned rats Kenan? They wouldn't catch skinned anything in the wild, they would eat fur, skin, inards, the whole kit and kaboodle! Or was it u just trying anything u can to get them to feed? XXX❤️🐊
They were hungry 😋 🤙
You can lead a croc to dinner, but you can’t make him eat
Maybe you could get some red flashlights? Would be much easier on the camera "eye"....
Great video Kenan!!! So cool to see those animals in their "close to natural" habitat... keep up the good work.
Coffee with kenan I’m lovin thesedsys
I don't surprise me they went from 100% Shades 200% sunlight that is totally out of their comfort zone
They are so unique how they are very much statuesque!!! 🙂
cool, finally the caimans eat the rats at night, maybe they are fasting during the day (laughs)
I was so excited to see some rats get eaten!
Chandler also used drumsticks to get his smooth front to eat after moving it. Might try that also. :)
We know you're doing everything you can to keep them healthy.
You did ok for skinning your first animal, I mean practice makes perfect.
Next time ur going to have to do a time laps video of them feeding at nighttime so we can see. I’m sure u would like to see it to sir.
Thanks Kenan for everything u do
I agree with the other comments about needing more cover. Might be feeling really exposed.
