Live Trapping a Gopher | Pet Gopher

- I promised my daughter, Lily, that we would not kill the next gopher we caught digging holes in our yard. So we found a way to catch him with a live trap. He kind of ended up as a temporary pet gopher , and we made a "gopher farm". It was really neat to watch him dig tunnels in the glass tank. Weirdly enough, we kind of grew to like him. He was cool, but not cool enough to let him tare up our yard with his gopher tunnels.
Seeing that carrot disappear was hilarious.
...one of my favorite parts.
It would be great to hear what’s going on with the Walton Ranch.
9:12 was funny lol
Thanks
Gophers are some of the funniest animals I ever saw! And when a gopher is your friend, you have a friend for life!
Thank you for taking the time to put this together! Just ordered a live trip like the one you used and looking forward to catching our gopher and taking it up to the mountains where it can thrive without damaging our stuff.
Thanks. I enjoyed the video. My new cat keeps catching the cutest gophers. They put their fists up, ready to fight, like a cartoon. I keep releasing them back, even tho he beats them up a bit. I don’t have anything growing here that they bother, so I’m happy to let them live in peace. I know he’s just doing what’s natural but I’m hoping he starts to leave them alone. They’re so cute I was wondering if anyone keeps them as pets, which is how I found your video. Thanks for not harming him. (At least the one)
Glad dad wanted to see the burrowing, very cool!
Well, we have certainly learned a lot about gophers in this episode!!! Next trap a bobcat!!!
You're welcome ;)
Bobcat, bobcat, bobcat.. 😅
That was very interesting and fun to watch.Another great video by the Walton Family.
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing how fast they can tunnel
We loved our Saturday Morning Science Lesson! Thank you Mr. Walton! I will be showing my Kindergarten Friends. But where did you release that gopher? He he he.
Thank you! We let him go in our neighbors yard ;)....JK about a 15 minute golf cart ride away. Enjoy, kindergarteners.
Not weird at all. Now I want to catch one.
That was fun to watch and a cool learning experience!
Thanks for always watching!
Put chicken wire around the tree ball when you plant the trees, have it come out of the ground a couple feet. This allowed the tree to get established.
Not weird at all, very cool!
Haha thanks. As I was making it I thought it was weird, but then my whole family was huddled around the cage watching as he dug his tunnel.
This is really cool! Another great idea for the kids is getting an owl box with an outdoor camera. 40% of a barn owl diet is the pocket gopher!
wait...no.
My older son has two adorable little girls and your family reminds me of them.
They must be pretty great :)
Surprisingly cute!
ya, not too bad.
He got used to you he wasn't afraid
Nice job Carl
I used to work at a golf course.
This is actually really interesting! 👍🏻
This is so cool!
Thank you!
I enjoyed the video very much! It was fascinating!
Thank you!
Awww this was so cool!!! I have one and have been googling like crazy trying to find a way to catch it cause it’s tearing up my yard so bad but I don’t want it to die 😢
You should add more tags including “homesteading”, “Permaculture,” “urban farming”, “hobby farm”, “desert living” etc.
Not a bad idea. Hopefully we will have a new one out soon too.
So neat !
I was in ur class last year my name is Vincent
Do u Rember me?
But there isn't room for the door's arm (the U-shaped arm that goes straight up when the door is closed) to flip up with the board on top. Soooo how did this work? And I'm curious cause I want to catch and release gophers but with this trap, which I have, I'd have to dig the hole so deep it's below the tunnels. Help!
Cool!
It looks like gophers are loners who don't tolerate a second gopher in their territory. So no big family groups?
I want one SO BAD!!! I don't think I have any around tho. Only thing I see is Ground hogs. Ain't NO way I'm catching a Ground hog LOL. Not unless I have to and then I will take it and relocate it somewhere
Dude, your videos are awesome!! I just subbed. Now I know how to catch and release these lil dudes. 🙌🏻🐭
Thank you. Good luck with your gophers.
@@WaltonsRookieRanch They took out my corn 😔🌽 one day they were nice and green a few days later, they were dry and cut at the roots and chewed up 🤦🏻♂️
Very nice video, thanks distant friends!
He's gonna be back to his relatives saying, "I've been abducted by aliens and was experimented on!" 🤣
Probably 😅
Fun watchin. Lol
Really well done video!! So fun to watch! Subbed
Where did you get the rat trap.
Well this was pointless. Got the same one but no info sheet with it for some reason. Hence why I'm here but this is even worse then not having the paper info sheet
Don’t trap that gopher please!!! I hope you put him somewhere he could live in peace!!! ❤️
watch the whole video then comment
