I found a way to hide the smell of a male mouse-- getting ferrets. I have six ferrets and you would never know I had a male mouse XD
Hahaha 🙈
Hhaha same we also have six, 5 young ones who live outside, and 1 that lives inside who was recently adopted (he is at least 8 years old, bur the rescue didn’t know exactly ) How do your ferrets get along, and are they housed thogether) Just very curious, as i only know people with 1 or 2 ferrets or at the max 3.
@@F907. They get along great. They formed two groups of "best friends", but still all cuddle and play together. They all live in a room. Ferrets are social and do best in groups that mimic litter sizes (~3-8). Unless they are unfixed males, but all our males are either castrated or have a chemical implant that prevents them from going into season.
Yea we have all men, they also get along awesome except for the old ferret, he doesn’t show intrest in the other boys at the moment, the other boys are 3 brothers and 2 brothers from a different litter, they are all chemically castrated (exept the old one he is castrated regularly) and they always want to sleep together, we have like plenty hides and hammocks for everyone to get a separate one but they always end up sleeping together in a big pile or cramped up in a hammock or hide, do yours do that too? It is nice to see that you have 6 ferrets, ive never met someone who has that many, except for myself!
Honestly we all made a mistake with pets in our lives. I know I have!
I know i have for sure
oh yeah definitely, I know I have
@@Sunnythechestnutmare oh my gosh are those your ferrets?!? They are so cute! I really wanted ferrets for a long time but they are a lot of work and my mom doesn’t like the smell. So when I’m an adult I might get them
@@eliseypoo9806 same :)
I have a hamster and a turtle right now
I have four rats 2 guinea pigs a cat a dog and a fish lol
What a brave and compassionate moment you’ve given us in this video. It is so hard to look back at mistakes we have made but it’s also the best way to learn. You show compassion to yourself and others by acknowledging past mistakes and how you’ve done better by educating yourself. And you are educating others at the same time. Such kindness and generosity! Thank you.
Your commentary on your voice made it 10x times funnier than it was.
Also making mistakes is only natural. You improved your pet care so much!
Ive been watching your videos for about 2 weeks now, i binged all your rat videos cause i want some, and i eventually just fell down the rabbit hole of all your videos.
Thank you for providing all the info and entertainment Emi
Hope you get your rats!
@@prettypeach13 i hope so as well, thank you 💕
@@toxicrelief2142 no problem! Good luck!
I hope you get your rats!! I did research for about 1 or 2 months back in October/November... and here I am! I have 4 girls! 😁
@@akeenanimeiz720 im a bit nervous because im worried they wont like me, i had a parakeet for a year, that i didn't do near enough research on and we never got along and i had to rehome him.
So ive been far more careful in my research with rats. I hope when i get them theyll like me 😔
Im glad you seem to be getting along with yours!
“If I had videos and pictures of my hamsters a gerbils... that would be much more savage video”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I had to go back to make sure u actually said what u said omg 😂😂😂😂
I literally have your videos on my schedule! I was also reloading my subscription page until your video popped up, lol! I was waiting for this video ever since you did the one with your rats! I love how it shows that even though you have great care now, you have made many mistakes with your care. It helps the new owners know that even the best owners made mistakes.
EDIT: I am first yay!
@Ratopedia yep! It’s just part of being human, no one is perfect! That’s what I love about Emi, Victoria, etc, who made videos like these where they show that they also made mistakes in their care.
we all start somewhere, and thats with anything.
Please make a video about mouse diet. Its really hard to find some good videos about it and Im scared I'm not giving them everything they need. I would really appreciate it. Love you!♥
we all mess up some times thats just how we learn so dont feel bad you are doing great now and giving your mice such an amazing life and it was better than him being in a pet store
I love the mouse cage in the back❤️
I really love that video because I've also upgraded my stuff and the enclosures. The ones I had before were just so small and didn't give them everything they needed. I had a terrarium for mine which wasn't giving the air they needed and they also didn't have much to climb on maybe 3 or 4 houses. When i look back i just really feel bad for the missing knowledge. It's been like 5 or 6 years and the enclosures really have improved. I'm watching a lot of mice videos for example the videos that you make or videos of breeders and I bought myself some books where it is explained how to give mice the best home.
So thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Me: clicks on video and starts watching
My mom: starts the grinder/mixer/whatever you call it
Edit: It’s actually a blender lol
my mom litteraly started vacuuming when i wanted to watch this.
@@4nnakovac lol! Now my brother is hitting these gigantic pencils on the sofas lol
That happened to me all the time but it’s my dad starting to grind his coffee beans!!!!!!!!! And then my parents always ask why I’m always in my room...BECAUSE ITS QUIET!!!
@@annalloyd6180 lol, well I hope you can watch the video in peace!
@@prettypeach13 haha I did!
Hey! So I'm getting some rats soon and I have been watching all your videos and doing research to make sure they have amazing lives! Thank you for helping me figure out what to do haha
I remember fig, I'm pretty sure I've been breeding as long as you've had female mice, I have always owned mice (my very first personally brought mouse i brought almost 3 years ago now) but he went straight into a 80x50cm cage,
I've definitely made more compromises now I've bucked down to breed for better health, temperament and standard,
I've still got my great "pet" style cages but I tend to move towards half breeding tub, half pet tub styles
I've only kept mice for a few weeks and your videos have taught me so much about how to properly care for them, thank you 💖
Mice r soooo cute and so under estimated 😃
Your guinea pigs are soooo cute, Do you watch little adventures??
@@Eliza_woods04 yes I do, and thank you for the nice comment I agree, my piggies are sooo cute but very demanding two, I'm hoping to upload some video of them soon so the piggy love can be spread 🥰
@@Eliza_woods04 your guinea pig is soooo cute two what type is it?
@@arlothepup it's a pevurian guinea pig, I don't think that is spelt right but basically they have really long hair.
@@arlothepup aww I'm glad your hoping to upload some videos youtube need more wholesome videos and good people like you
Would you be willing to make a video around caring for your mice each day?
I know I want mice when I move out, but I don’t actually know how demanding their care is or if, realistically, I would be able to give them a happy life
I could help you out if you want!
I like to spend at least 15 mins a day with my boy but when I do I just take him out, make Shure his food is filled and I only have to change his water about once a week
He is on kiln dried pine from Tractor supply, it a giant bag for under 20$ he had a 8 inch weel and some hanging toys
I spent about 30 on initial setup
If you have an atwoods they have great things for mice for super cheap, also Walmart mouse and rat blend in the yellow box is a fave for him
I live in the United States sadly and neutering male mice is on heard of like you are batshit crazy if you call up an exotic vet and ask if they can neuter your male Mouse that's why I'm thinking of rescuing African soft fur rats but the Dilemma is most African soft fur rats in United States are sold as feeder which means there's a high chance of me ending up with a pregnant soft for a rat
Also the standard of mice care in the United States is very questionable some people say three mice can live in a 10 gallon tank other people say three mice should live in a 20 gallon long
Hello, I recently got two female african soft furs that I plan to introduce to my male mouse. The way I found is easiest (in my opinion) to find not pregnant females is to look for an ad on Craigslist or a similar website. Usually the people who have ASFs on there breed them themselves and separate them before the females reach maturity. Pet stores usually will not do this. Hope this helps!
Hi there! If you live near the Carolinas, I know a responsible breeder for ASF. They also sell acceptable bin cages if you're looking for a sizable enclosure. :)
I have a single male in a 20 gallon long
We all learn from past experience.
Jeez If id known yrs ago, id of treated my guinea pigs, hamsters so so much better.
Im new to rats and your posts have helped me so much. So don't be hard on yourself.🤗
I got my first female mice just a few weeks ago and your videos have helped me so much!
There names are Wispa and Clue
Ive found that hemp bedding really helps with the smell of our rats and mice! Its not really a good burrowing bedding tho, and it’s expensive, sooo yea, prob wont be using it very often, if at all anymore lol, but it was good while it lasted!
Love these videos Emi 🥰 it just goes to show that everyone can make “mistakes” with pet care and it’s completely fine as long as we learn from it. I think a lot of us get a bit defensive when someone gives constructive criticism (not hate, which is very different) but in the end it’s all part of the process of owning small animals! Especially when there isn’t really a lot of great resources out there, we can all learn from each other to give our little friends the best lives possible✨
I'm really glad you talk about the mistakes you made because you teach us not to do the same! I feel like I'm ready to get a mouse and you've taught me proper care and what not to do.
Also I'm getting a male mouse cause I only want one and I have very limited sense of smell 🤭
I feel like even if you do a load of research, you're still going to make mistakes, there's a lot of things you learn after getting a pet that you don't learn from watching RUclips videos or reading website. Improving and learning comes with experience, and even if you've been owning that animal for 10 years, you can still make mistakes
We all make mistakes and know one is perfect and things are always changing or new products are coming out I think back of my first pet rat OMG first off a single rats I didn’t even get him a friend I can’t even remember what I feed him but I remeber his cage was small and had a wire wheel which was also small not to mention I was probably maybe 12yrs old. Everyone starts some where it makes you learn and grow ☺️
I am a kid and I have ratties, the pair has a big enough cage but maybe not enough hides
Rats are the best! I have 9 girls 🐁 I hope one day I can get my nephew some rats right now he has his hamster and she is really friendly
I remember watching these videos I 2018! 🐭
FIG The Adorable!💗
hi emi! random question but...can i use aspen shavings for my bedding or dig box?
Should work well for both!
@@tishasobhax oh thank you!
@@valeriehayes5955 Happy I could help!😄
I don't really use the heater or ac and my house gets to 76 degrees in summer but my house gets 32 degrees in the winter
I loved Fig so much 😭😭
I mean everyone makes mistakes. I had hamsters awhile back (2 years ago) and they lived in critter trails. I did more research and moved my current hamster shadow to a bun cage! He is super happy and I feel much better. 💕
Hi emi I love your videos I have 4 pics of your rat from your store and a jumper and I have lots of toys from your store plz keep up the good work :)
love the vlogs
💚💚💚 Good Morning 1:01 am
I have no idea why I'm watching this I'm really scared of mice and rats too😭🤚
Just found this channell, I'm staying
Even though I have a hamster :D
whats the best age to get a rat? please help me out i have 2 female rats. they are 11 weeks now but we got them at 6 weeks.
I ordered the pet planet rat and ferret cage but it doesn’t fit together!! the door won’t fit into the corner even though i’ve followed the instructions
Early and I lovvve u and ur animals xx
Do you need a humidifier for your mice or what temperature should they be in I live in payson az and the hottest it gets here in the summer is 102 degrees in the summer and the winter its gets to 12 degrees
I used to keep mice and although I did more right things than wrong I realise they weren't kept in the best conditions even though I did my research. I miss them but don't miss their smell!
how do u feel about the flat saucer wheels? are they okay to use for them?
I just found a pet youtuber in my recommended named kristenleannimal. She has a lot of pets including some rats, and first I was kind of wary because of her cage setup, which was not the best, but then I saw she had a video on bathing her rats, and after watching it, I'm pretty upset. She seems to have a pretty large following (184K subscribers) and think it would be great for you to do a video on her. I don't know about how to properly care for any of the other exotic pets she has, but going off of how she cares for her rats, though there are certainly people out there who have done far worse, I suspect there are issues there as well (so this could even be a collaborative effort with some other pet youtubers) she seems to care about her pets a lot, and so I think it's especially important for someone to directly address this and help her and her followers see how to better care for their rats.
Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of concerning things about the way she cares for the rest of her animals including bathing her hamster in listerine, over handling amphibians etc , a lot of people have tried to bring it up to her on Twitter but she’s very dismissive 🙈
You should do another reaction video of other peoples mice enclosures:)
They get very repetitive though. Anyone who wants tips just watch the previous care videos.
@@mojothebudgies2901 it's not even about the tips it's just nice to see how other people have their enclosures set up. I always enjoyed watching them, and never felt like they were repetitive
Good morning!
How exactly do you clean your mice's cage? It has so much stuff and seems like it would take hours. Not hate by the way just wondering how.
I do have selective for my rats but is that good enough for them?
Hiii I love your videos❤️ I hope your doing better😊
Hia I love your videos and i hope you have a wonderful days
Are the male mice or male rats more potent would you say?
How do you make your cadge less boring? I got my rats very recently and I can definitely tell it’s not got enough in it. Any tips?
I have a video series reacting to peoples rat setups full of tips that might apply to your cage! :)
I’m planning on getting 4 female mice and want to use a bin cage since they’re much cheaper than tanks, how big would it need to be for 4 and what can I do for hammocks and hanging toys?
I’m planning on getting mice too!! I have a 106qt bin, 450sq inches, and while asking around on mouse & rodent related forums/platforms, most people told me that the bin I have is only big enough for three mice. So, for four, you’d probably need upwards of 600sq inches! Don’t quote me on that though.
wha cage were you in-front of cuz I thought your mouse cage was different btw I love your videos
I got a new mouse cage a few months ago and there’s a tour of it on my channel 🙂
@@Emiology ohhh I didn't recognise it because I watched the cage cleaning video and must have missed the new cage I'm going to watch it now can't wait for more pet updates :)
Hi Emi I was wondering if you could maybe do Hubbles DNA test soon? I would love that
I don’t know if anyone will see this but I really need advice on mouse diet, my mouse isn’t looking good and any videos I find are really old, and have led my mouse to be over weight, does anyone have anything they’d recommend like what they need roughly or a good brand?
Oxbow has mouse food I think? Not entirely sure but they are a really great and trustworthy brand that sells very healthy foods for small animals so I’m sure they have mice food.
Hii! How are you Emi? 🙂
I know I’m late but I have been following since Fig he is so cute I have 2 mice🐁 and I have a dream of getting a cage like your’s and 5 mice all female I also want rats but I will have to get them when I move out your mice are so cute as I said I want a big cage and lots of rodents lots of love from Phoebe and Uersala
wow you've grown so much😆
9:35 ily lmao 😂
Is cedar not bad for mice?
It wasn’t cedar 🙂
Great video!
There's nothing wrong with the cage itself it's just the way you had it set up
The cage was at least a good size but it’s so badly made, the wire part doesn’t even clip down onto the base properly and it had to be zip tied all over
I know this video is about mice but should i have bedding on the bottom of my rat cage for 5 female rats
Probably, I know that my boys enjoy burrowing in their bedding and at lest one of yours probably will too, unless you live somewhere really hot all the time.
@@rutabegagrrl9657 No it's not really hot all the time but how do i make it so i can put bedding in the cage when it's just bars on the wall
@@Sunnythechestnutmare the best way is to put something like plastic sheeting or a shallow-ish dish at the bottom
@@rutabegagrrl9657 Thanks you are so helpful
# I love rats
You put this before 1 minute :)
I have a dog and we all make mistakes and if i was your mice i would br the most happy animal in the world
What food to u feed ur mices
hi, so recently i added another baby rat to the cage where i had currently two other rats. they were about three months older than she was, and there was quite a size difference (she wasnt an actual baby but she was quite young). i had introduced them over the course of a few days and all was going fine- apart from the occasional squeak. then, last night i woke up to check on them, and saw one of them literally eating the other one. i dont know why they did it, and i was just wondering if i could ask a few questions, and maybe you or someone in the comments could help me/answer. so, first question is, do you have any idea why they would have eaten her, and two, will they become aggressive now that they've cannibalized her and should we get rid of the two remaining rats. i have no idea if anyone will know the answer to these questions, but im hoping someone will. thank you so much :)
Rats will sometimes eat another rat if it’s dead. This is normal behavior, and they do it to protect themselves from predators that might try to follow the smell. For some reason, that rat died overnight, and they were trying to get rid of the body. They won’t become aggressive because of that incident.
As for should you get rid of the other two. If everyone else is getting along just fine,then no. If they’re fighting (and not playfully), then you might want to look into reintroductions.
@@MyPerfectMischief thank you :))
but would they still not be aggressive if they actually killed the rat and it didnt die beforehand?
@@emily-xi3em - I don't believe so, but I'm a little unfamiliar with that part of it. If everyone right now is living together harmoniously, then I wouldn't worry about it.
@@MyPerfectMischief ok thank you
If the wood was like pine or cedar chips, the acidity may have hurt their lungs and respiratory tract.
It was dust extracted and kiln dried so fine to use but I just didn’t like it.
I mean if ur a kid u cant really make the cage good cuz i had hamsters (live :) mice (sold),guinea pigs (deceased) parakeet (alive and hermit crab (deceased)and mousie (my first pet *crys* and there cages were well the birds was a small bird cage the hamsters in like those store bought cages then i switched to bin cages (also for the mouse) and i feel so bad for mousie he had a small bin cage with water a small hut and food :( and my guinea
Pig had a cage that was the size of a desk yeah he only had food and water and bedding so yeah
i have a QUESTION abt rats so im looking to adopt 2 girl rats and i wanted to know can rats be in the sunlight or will it hurt their eyes??
It can be bad for them if they have a lot of sunlight, especially streaming into their hides and hammocks. Personally I have a towel over my cage to protect them
ok ill consider that
I have rats and im thinking about chaning my room so they have one part of my room so i can give them a biggest free room arear. Becaus of your Videos i will eventuelly get mice too haha (obviesly After i reaserched how to give them a happy life)
Can male mice not be housed together?
Hello I have 1 female mouse in a 20 gal tank (we are trying to find another female) and a 8 1/2 inch wheel with abt 4 inches of bedding to 6. WhT r some diy things
ruclips.net/video/CFXX8koRglY/видео.html click on the link for hamster/ mouse toys!!! there are also so many other videos to watch
Hi! I don't recommend tanks for any rodents, ammonia can really build up in them, they need fresh air to push it away that a tank just doesn't provide even with a screen top. To answer your question though, popsicle sticks, boxes, toilet paper or paper towel tubes, you can stuff treats and cardboard inside the roll to make forage toys, you can put a half roll of TP on a string and hang it up for them to chew/nest in, any old sheets or blankets can be sewn up into hammocks or nesting blankets.
@@Asp47999 thx for the ideas. Also she is out of the tank pretty much whenever she ups and I am up❤️
Random Person Sure! A ceiling fan or box fan close to the area but not directly on her can help air it out for her :)
@@Asp47999 thank u❤️
Emi, Ive git two questions: 1st- Ive gotten my mice many different treats, but they still refuse to eat any of them when I give it to them, and when I put them in their cage they dont favor them, but only treat it like food mix, do you know what Im doing wrong or why my mice are being like this? (Ive had my mice for about a month now) 2nd- My mice still have extra wet, smelly, and sometimes yellow or green poo, especially when Im holding them, and they have been on the same food since I got them, is this normal? If not, whats wrong?
She made a post about this earlier but if you didn’t see it she basically said that she doesn’t have time to answer everyone’s questions and that people with questions should ask on forums for help. If your looking for a forum I recommend this one: mouse-forum.proboards.com
@@wolfhugger3344 ty
I can’t get over the fact that all mice apart from mine seem so big. I have 2 females and one of them is literally the size of a £2 coin the other one is slightly bigger but nowhere near a normal mouse size 😂xx
...as said just asking for peeps opinions of putting together this cage/and maybe others.
So cringe looking back at old care. I hate looking back at mine. lol
I have to male rats and im getting a young male rat tomorrow
Unfortunately I have just found out I accidentally deleted a picture of my old hamster Boo who died the day before the first lockdown in England :( I’m really sad
I accidentally got a male mouse, he was supposed to be female and now I’ve ended up with a litter 😂 but I don’t find my male that smelly
Literally me. Though it was a girl, mixed him in, ended up getting 14 babies 🤦♂️. I can’t really tell the difference between the smells
Hi Miss! (I'm sorry i don't exactly know your name) My poor rat is starting to have random scars. (Like scabs and big patches where she is bleeding) A couple weeks ago she nearly bled to death because of this. I have no idea what to do and this has been going on four a couple months, I would so much appreciate if you gave me some tips or ideas to help my rat! Thank you
Is another rat attacking her?
@@Emiology No, we don't have any other rats in the home she lives by herself.
That’s not good. There are a few reasons it could be but maybe she is self mutilating from boredom / stress / depression because she is alone. Rats MUST be housed in groups they are social animals
@@Emiology Thank you so much, i'm so glad I could finally find help. I'm going to go play with her now, have a good evening. :)
@@sauchmz Okay. Does that mean I must get rid of her?
I’m cringing at the fact I had two gerbils from pets at home in a tiny pets at home gerbilarium
Rats or mice🤷♀️🤷♀️??
I have mice, it's my first time owning them. I've had rats in the past but if I had to choose I would definitely love to have rats again
It’s personal preference really
beachvibes rats are at the vets a lot so huge bills

Sure
@@Emiology is it too small
Hi Guys 😍💋 💝💖
Why does thishave barley and views
I had a hamster a while ago and definitely could have taken better care of her, she was in a cage that was slightly to small but she did have a lot of love, I have always bonded strongly with any pets I have had and I have now learned my mistakes since then and will learn from that in the future. I now have two male rats in a cage that was in your recommend cages video and I have seen all of your rat videos. I do think I have a very good set up right now but i do intend to learn and grow.
hi
I love that you break down your beginner mistakes, we all make those, and it's so important to show that to people. I appreciate a lot you doing that!
the old videos are sooo different 😂
I would like a chill 20-40 minutes of just watching the mice asmr
Everyone makes mistakes, I had a hamster, poor little guy was but in a small bared cage. I feel terrible about it now. My current hamster lives in a large bin cage and he loves it!
