Good luck and be careful. When male Capybara matures they feel the need to dominate and take over the pack. You may wake up to horribly injured or dead pets. I know friends who had this happen to them.
@@benjamindover5676 That's why it pays to have your pet spayed or neutered, as is recommended for *all* pets. Usually when you do that, it eliminates most of the problems. 👍
Steve is no doubt very happy with his life. Another capybara might be viewed as competition for all the goodies and he has plenty of friends of other species to keep him busy and happy. This is an amazing household. Thanks so much for sharing the fun.
Thank you for your comment! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed Steve's story and agree that he seems very happy with his life as a member of their family. While we know that capybaras are social animals and thrive in groups, they do their best to provide Steve with plenty of socialization and enrichment through interactions with his animal siblings and his human family.💚🤗
I think it's interesting that we humans think that WE are in charge. We merely cook, clean, and pay the bills. Steve is clearly the king of his castle! We are just the servants.
Youre right! Animal companions are the true rulers of their homes, and we are just their dedicated servants. Steve certainly has a strong personality and a lot of charisma, and he has definitely made his mark on their household - we can see it! 😜
You are such kind wonderful people Steve has struck it lucky, I’m not sure he will be missing his fellow species too much! He’s living in a 5 star resort. 🥰
We like to think that Steve is living in his own little 5-star resort, complete with plenty of love, cuddles, and all the delicious food he could ever want! 😜
Steve is the most fascinating hunk, I wonder what he’s thinking among all those animals - it might be heaven! You’re doing such a wonderful job raising these rescues, thank you❤💛💚.
It's amazing that all these animals play together and get along like they do. They get great care and lots of love!!! Thanks for sharing your story. Love.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I have alwys found these animals so cute they remind me of a giant Guinea Pig and now I know that sound like one! All the best to your family human and furry.
All that Australia needs is another invasive species.. :) They breed quite rapidly. Crocodiles and Alligators do see them as prey but I would guess little else would in Australia.
@@brianh9358 Hi Brian. Oh I am with you 100%. I do love capybara’s though! I’m not sure we even have any in any of our zoos either, but I am very envious of people who are able to keep them. Would like to see this one with a friend or two though. 😁
Aw! (The wheeking cry sound is one I have only heard from babies, when they are crying for their mommy to find them. He must think you are his mommy, after all. If he feels isolated or wants assurance in the night that he is safe and not lost from his herd. Thank you for being so kind and making room to love him. I am convinced you have made the complete difference, and he can have a happy life now. Even if he is the only bara.) The water is their favorite thing, so it is a relief he had a pond. What a loving family. Capybaras are not a cheap pet. The vet specialist care, the diet.. is $$$$. And they are made to be in a family herd. So it is a major commitment. It is heartwarming to see how well he has adjusted snd how caring this family is.
What a sweet boy, he blends in perfectly with your family. I see that he like pig pig, lol he might think he's one. It's amazing of you and your family to have him as a family member. Great family, thanks for sharing.
Wonderful. So much love for your animals and they are just loving it. Steve looks so happy and so spoiled. He looks like such a nice sensitive guy and his name is just perfect. I would like to give you a big hug for being so kind and generous to animals. I know it's a lot of work and usually not much reward except their undying love.
I love the disclaimer at the end of the video about doing your research before adopting an exotic pet. So important to make sure you have all the resources to care for them properly. ❤
Thank you for your comment! Yes, it's important to do proper research and make sure you can provide the necessary care and environment for any animal you plan to adopt, especially exotic pets. We included the disclaimer because we want to encourage responsible pet ownership and ensure the best possible life for all animals. 😊 ♥️
I believe Steve is happy. He loves the smaller animals, as though they were baby Capybaras. Yes, other capies would be best…but we all do not receive ideal original families, and most of us must make the best of life. He is very well loved, and he is happy.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🥰🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻💋💋🇺🇸🌸I am wondering: has his new family ever shown him a standard rat? That would be interesting: the world’s greatest rodent, and the world’s standard rodent.💋
Poor ole Steve. He may not have other capybaras for company, but he really doesn't know any different, does he? And he has LOTS of other buddies and family for games, hugs and snuggles, plus he has his very own couch to snooze on and how many capybaras can say that? I'd say Steve is quite content with life. LOL! 💖
Oh my goodness, he has ferrets, cats, ducks, a pig and people! He might not have another capy to be with, but Steve is def not lonely, lol don't feel bad! Yall are doing a great job!
This was so heartwarming & fun to watch! I'd never heard one make sound before, I was so surprised how similar it is to Guinea Pigs (even knowing they're related). They honestly look (& act, minus any aggression) like a combo between a Guinea Pig & a Hippo. Steve looks very happy & healthy with your family, such an awesome opportunity to experience an animal most of us can't. 😊
Totally agree with the end message. Steve is adorable, and the video makes it look so easy. But any animal, even domesticated animals require work and care. Exotics so much more so.
Kitten: Whoa, Jerry's huge! Steve: I see you too have seen the cartoons. This is why you should be nice to mice; their big friend might be waiting around the corner... Kitten: Uh...yes, mister Steve!
Absolutely wonderful what you are doing ❤ I've always been captivated by the Capibara from the first time I saw one as a youngster at the Omaha Henry Doorley Zoo. Always thought they looked like a overgrown Guinea Pig 😂

@@benjamindover5676 so cute
Don't feel bad. Steve has his pack ... even if it's not his kind. He appears content and well adjusted. That is not an animal that feels alone.
He has probably forgotten that other pacis exist, and has not concept of being the only one of his kind around.
I am more alone than Steve. These people have given him a proper home where he is loved x1X
Capys are the BEST. They are the most chill animal in the world. Nothing is as cool as a capy.
There's not one animal that they don't get along with. Just the sweetest, chill animals.
@@mccolk Humans can learn a lot from them🙏
I never thought I would see a capybara swimming with a pool noodle! 😃
Me too 😂 So awesome 😊
Don’t feel bad Steve is lucky to have you, and who knows what the future will bring.

not true
She said, "respect his boundaries" which is so important. What a great family & home for that fuzzle!
@@bunnyfluffyfluffs Why not? Please elaborate that’s way more useful in a debate than just stating the opposite of what’s been said is true.
I didn't know they make that noise. Sound just like guinea pig squeaks 😁 Love the internet pics of capybaras just vibing with everyone.
let's be real, it is an oversized guinea pig.
The best part is that they're related to guinea pigs :)
it's bigger than i thought
Its a rodent
I think it's interesting that we humans think that WE are in charge. We merely cook, clean, and pay the bills. Steve is clearly the king of his castle! We are just the servants.

It certainly looks that way. Steve is living the high life.
Well, somebody's gotta clean and pay the bills?

Yes, Steve has a very nice life. Must be a blast to have a pet Capy.
That is one real happy family there. Keep up the good work.
i didn't realise Capybara were so cute. I'm glad Steve has many animal friends; adorable.
Thank you for loving him & all your animals!!!! You are ✨amazing!
The definition of "leading the good life" - sitting on your couch feeding Cheetos to your capybara 💖
Looks like you are taking good care of Steve and the other animals. Bless you for having such a loving home. Everyone looks happy and well fed.
Doing your best for him is the best for him. Thanks from an admirer.
What a wonderful and beautiful animal family! I wouldn't trade that for ANYTHING!! 🥰💋❤️
Capybaras look positively prehistoric, like something from the Eocene or Miocene.
I love that Steve has a pool noodle! He’s adorable ❤️🇨🇦
Steve is the most fascinating hunk, I wonder what he’s thinking among all those animals - it might be heaven! You’re doing such a wonderful job raising these rescues, thank you❤💛💚.
Every time I thought "Gee, they have a lot of animals!" you would mention even more. And I am jealous!! Steve is one lucky, lovely boy.
It's amazing that all these animals play together and get along like they do. They get great care and lots of love!!! Thanks for sharing your story. Love.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for your comment! We are thrilled that you enjoyed our story. Thank you for your support! ♥️

They are giant guinea pigs. They're cousins.
Oh my goodness, he’s gorgeous! Why can’t we have capybaras in Australia? 😢😢😢😢 He sounds exactly like a Guinea Pig! 😅😅😅😅
All that Australia needs is another invasive species.. :) They breed quite rapidly. Crocodiles and Alligators do see them as prey but I would guess little else would in Australia.
nooooo! no more critters from other countries, we will loose our marsupials if that happens.

@@opeeate I’m not suggesting we introduce any non-native species here. I am a big supporter of getting rid of the problems we already have.
@@brianh9358 That's the trouble with Australia's isolation.
Omg absolutely beautiful and precious!!! So beautiful ❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
As cute as this is.... I am naturally curious regarding the messiness and smell of a home with 8 ferrets, a bunch of cats, pigs qnd a capybara...🐈🖤
This family is truly living the dream. Beautiful.
That first mention of "Steve" with him looking straight and proper at the camera spoke volumes about this coarse-haired gentleman.
Thanks for all that you do, it is admired and appreciated.
Awe he’s such an adorable sweet big boy 🥺😍❤️
They are huge! Mega guinea pig! ❤
Right, lol
It is a largest rodent of all rodents.
@@laradavenport903 Yes - they can weigh around 50 kg.
My wife jokes that if Costco or BJ's sold hamsters, they'd be as big as capys!
What a beautiful animal, how lucky you are to get to be around him daily!
He looks so happy. Great job on providing him with a family and a home.
He's adorable. And such a wonderful family who adopted him!
OMG you are the 1st person I've ever heard call their kneading, "making biscuits"! Thanks for making me smile!
Really? Because it's used extremely commonly to refer to what cats do when content
@@Shinzon23 yup
@Lazurkri Really? You're surprised different people hear different things?
Hes got his own pond 👍
While Steve is the only capy, he sure has a lot of fur buddies and hoomin buddies so he def isn't lonely. He looks so happy!
Steve is the perfect name for a Capybara. I don't know why, but it just fits perfectly!
He needs a friend that is another Capybara.😢

You need to get Steve a mate. Capybaras. like guinea pigs, are social animals!
Maybe a spayed one. Don't want more animals to find a home for.
He is an absolute darling,thank you for giving him the dignified life he deserves ❤❤❤
He has the good life and you do too with all those precious animals to enjoy
He's like a giant Guinea pig, but mixed with a dog!
Guinea-big!

More like a giant Guinea Pig (who they are related to), but the point stands, he's a giant version ^^
I love him so much respect for your kindness caring heart ❤️
For anyone that doesn't know.This is where the guinea pig comes from. Super sweet super docile creatures
Steve is so friggin' cute and what a great video! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🥰
I love your name Steve. Enjoy your wonderful life. Who needs other Capybaras when you have your family!
Lookit that important message at the end of the video. LOOK AT IT.
He's just wonderful!!. What a beautiful menagerie you guys have. ❤🤗
Totally agree with the end message. Steve is adorable, and the video makes it look so easy. But any animal, even domesticated animals require work and care. Exotics so much more so.
Looks like a combo of a rat, beaver, camel, horse....strange animal.
Wow. He is arrogant. And I love him! Thank you for loving him!
Thank you for loving him so well.
Agh! He’s so gorgeous and so are you. Your kindness brought tears to my eyes❤️❤️❤️❤️
As a Huge Animal Lover. Steve is soooooo Awesome looking. You People take the Cake 🍰🎂 for giving him a Wonderful Life. Stunning Video!!!!!
The lady is So Patient and Kind to him!! All Animals need Love and Care!!
What a wonderful home!
I'm stunned that this non-native (almost invasive) species, who poses a threat to natural wildlife habitat, is considered a welcome guest!
awww this guy is so cute god bless you for taking care of him he looks like a happy cappy!!
Thanks for taking care of Steve. He's so cute.
I’m glad they posted a precaution about adopting capybaras because not all climates are suitable for them.❤
Capybaras are so weird looking animals. They're fun to watch.
8 ferrets and 8 cats.... i dont want to even imagine what that house smells like.
I’m so happy you were able to take over Steve’s care. It’s good that he has lots of friends even though he doesn’t have any more capys.
Steve lmao awww, you're good people, stay beautiful and compassionate 🤗🥰
Such a lovely, Cappy!
OH I LOVE THIS................thanks for the love and care you give to all of them..................
Steve is so so cute ❤
"Steve" 😂 I love it!
I want to kiss that face. I bet he's so much fun.
