    Jessi takes you along on one of her Night Rounds for the nocturnal animals. Doing regular Rounds to check in on the animals is essential for monitoring their health and observing their behavior. Caring for nocturnal species means that Rounds must be done even through the night.

    Thanks for taking us along. I really appreciate how you showcase the hard work that is involved in carrying for these friends. My wife is a wildlife rehabber for a non-profit, and it breaks our hearts how often exotic animals are abandoned by people that carelessly tried to keep them as novel pets without realizing the level of dedication required.

      @maromania7 3 года назад +5

      Sadly Virginia Oppossums like Ophelia have an average wild lifespan of 2 years and captive lifespan is around 3-4 years. there have been rare cases of them doubling that, so Ophelia might live a while yet! but she is definitely at a happy and comfortable old age.

It's wonderful to learn what these incredible creatures are like, and what they need, and how they live.

      For me learning about animals helps me dispel my fear about them. You are doing that right now by asking how not to be scared. I would recommend you research the bugs or animals you are scared of, and try to learn something new about them. Stay safe. Stay curious. And have fun.

  • @VioletWhirlwind
    @VioletWhirlwind 3 года назад +1

    I saw a baby mouse in the grass the other day. They weren't newborn; their eyes were open and they had hair, but they still looked too young to be wandering around outside of a burrow (and in the day, too). I almost picked them up, but remembered not to touch. However, I saw a puddle of blood (I think it was blood anyway) on the sidewalk nearby, which makes me think the mom got eaten, and the baby was out looking for her or something. It was hard leaving the baby there, given what I think happened to the mom, but I don't KNOW that that's the case. So I had to leave and let nature take it's coarse. :( (Also, I was trying to hold my dog back away from the baby mouse...she was REAL interested)

    aw see i needed a nocturnal pet i think my biggest mistake getting a day time pet i loved it but i struggled to take care of it (i didnt realize i had debilitating depression as well)
    i still struggle so i am against getting any animal but the one i would love to take care of would be a chinchilla i think they tend to be up my ally for a pet
    i would love to pet sit for one that got a good owner that gave squishy time because their cuteness makes me want to squishy them and love them with a fun bath time
    wear it as a hat while i play nintendo so it got some entertainment and i think that i sit far enough away from the TV for it so its eyes stay fine
    thats what i worry about with a chin and TV (my brothers friend owned a chin and during them playing nintendo it woke up and got taken out of the cage) it decided to sit on the owners head and he said his head becomes the chinchillias seat for TV time

    I would imagine that logistically checking on nocturnal animals while they’re awake can be kind of difficult. Have you ever considered using some kind of artificial light system to simulate it being nighttime during the day and daytime during the night for your nocturnal animals, so that they’re all awake during the day?

    i took care of my sisters dogs and it was so hard because i stay awake all night woke up early in the morning took the dogs out for a walk when i got back in i needed to take a nap wake up not much later walk them again and then household chores stuff and try to find time to nap again as well as real work (the real work i mostly got done at night)

      The past couple videos they've been making little balls of food mixed with banana. The recent sickness sadly took a bit of a toll on poor Kemosabe, and while recovery is going well there was still some reluctance to eat. That looks like a bigger version. Also why she was checking a little more thoroughly, Kemosabe tends to hide the usual signs of sickness so they have to monitor everything closely for the moment so they know if there's a relapse.

      It's not technically a rehab facility, none of the animals there will ever be able to live in the wild. Many have some sort of injuries, and those that don't are too habituated to humans to be able to safely exist in the wild (either due to a rehab process that ended up bonding them too much, or due to them being kept as pets by people who couldn't handle them). As Sauber said, they do presentations to educate people, especially children, on why these animals are so amazing, as well as why they don't make good pets for ones that aren't domesticated (ie, not like their bunnies or budgies).
