Minki and Jerry are a delight. Thanks for showing these beautiful meerkats to the world. They are species that many of us on youtube have not seen before. Best wishes
Some of the best entertainment on RUclips and the relationship you have with your animals is so special. Thank you for posting all this educational content!
Ruben that was fantastic. Another video on the warthogs please and then the mongoose. And any other animals that turn up at your place from time to time. I love hearing about these animals from someone who is so close to them every day and who treats them as individuals like a family and not just like a “subject” to be studied. You’re also great in these videos, smart, handsome, and your accent is wonderful (I guess maybe Namibian Afrikaans have a different accent to South African Afrikaans when you speak English?). Thanks for sharing their lives and yours 🙏🏽🙏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Ruben is an adorable guy, he's master of his domain with the land and animals, I'm sure his intelligence and gentlemanly demeanor sends hearts a flutter and swooning, because he is so refreshing, his natural relaxed body language speaks volumes, he's genuine and sincere with no pretenses, he's just a good guy. Love the videos and getting acquainted with the animals and learning about Namibia and the southern African region, so enlightening. :-) New Orleans
You just have to love this guy. How many times do you see a young good looking man being doted on by two meerkats, a granny baboon and two warthogs? This is the perfect son in law😉. Just kidding. Helping animals in need is a beautiful thing. Making these videos can be educational for people so they can more understand wild creatures.
I'm glad to have found your Channel. It was Minkie and Jerry who grabbed my attention! RUclips is dominated by the Northern hemisphere countries, so it is very nice to see some quality local content. You are doing Southern Africa proud and thank you for taking such great care of the your animals. Groete uit Natal.
I adore Meerkats. I didn't realize how tiny they are, for quite sometime. Once I had some perspective I was amazed. There was a wonderful documentary called Meerkat Manor and it was a fabulous study of how they live, how they create their groups and get their leaders. They are wonderful little creatures and its' mind blowing how they can live in the harsh places they choose to inhabit. The leader of the Manor was just the best the way she kept the group together and they thrived. Her name was Flower and she got bitten by a cobra and died and I cried like a baby. Interestingly and sadly, the group fell apart without her. No one had her skills and gift of leadership and discipline. Love them kicking back with their feet in the air. Hakuna Matata!!!!!! LOL
That was an Animal Planet series in the early 2000s. I wish they would re-run it. Kids were absolutely crazy about that series and they learned so much! My grandson never missed an episode.😃
Please just keep sending your videos. It cannot ever get boring, they are so informative and bring happiness to so many thousands of people all over the world. You are such a lovely and caring family. ❤❤❤
God bless you Reuben; you are clearly living your best life and loving it. I understand how comforting animals are and we need more videos like this. Well done and thank you for all you do. 👍
Greetings from Canada, Ruben! Your channel is wonderful and you are living life as it really should be. Much love to Cindy and all the babies, to you, and your family! We have a houseful of rescue cats and a dog and we would be lost without their love and companionship. Looking forward to many more videos 😀❤️
There is a small town called 'Lambrecht' near the city of Neustadt an der Weinstrasse in Rheinland Palatinate. It is very small, but has been around for many many centuries. I wonder if your ancestors hailed from there? You have the looks of a Pfalzicher.
This was one of the best informative videos I've ever seen. Interesting questions and the answers were to the point, not like others who like to hear themselves talk and talk and talk some more. Well done and thank you!
Meerkat are amazing animals. They look cute too. I love the fact they can spend time lazing around with you in bed like other animals can. It’s a beautiful feeling to be surrounded by animals and become attached with them . I too grew up on a farm and lived around Cow, goat, horse, ducks, pigs, chicken, cats and dogs. I love animals very much and I would like to grow and be around with them. I miss growing up in the farm. Now I live in Sydney a fast live. Every now and then I miss my old life in the farm because of animal. So my closest thing is to visit the Zoo or go bush walking and hope to come in contact with wild life. I Love waterfalls and love to swim in it. Thank you for sharing your live and experiences with animals. Watching your vlogs makes me as close as it gets. It’s very beautiful and happy. ❤🌲💚🥰👍👋
Jerry shoving his nose up Ruben's nostril 😂 Jerry sound like my youngest Jack Russell, with us he is a baby and sometimes with others he thinks he is a big boy 😆
Hermosos.Me encantan. Soy de Uruguay Piriapolis Playa Hermosa es un hermoso lugar un paraíso en la tierra. Acá abitan los mapaches que sería lo más parecido a ellos. Amo los Suricatos.Abrazo enorme ❤
Love watching your special connection to these animal friends. Especially, your sister, Cindy. I don't have animals like you do, but I do have 4 rescue cats. They are wonderful.
Dankie Ruben. Always fun and informative. Baboons and meerkats are not often subjects of YT videos. You're pretty well the Baboon and Meerkat Whisperer.
Rueben... How delightful to hear the personalities and traits of species we'd never probably otherwise hear about. Your home is a bit of heaven and thank you for sharing it... and your loving relationships with Gods little creatures. As far as the shyt talkers... ignore em. Says more about them, about their sad, little unfulfilled lives.
I would love to come and visit your farm... Have to start saving my pennies! Lol. I'm all the way in Canada. We don't have any of your beautiful animals. Except the cows and dogs. I would love to meet Cindy and your mob!!! ❤❤❤
I was privileged enough to rescue many cats and dogs for years. I am an RN. I love helping injured people and animals heal. I rescued a possum that lived free range in my house. She used a puppy pad in the same place for her business. She was no trouble except when she decided to make her bed inside my couch. I had to put a barrier so she wouldn't crawl up into the couch!
I fell in Love with Meerkats from the wonderfull series Meerkat manor ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and letting us in to your life and beautiful Home Namibia ❤❤
They are just the cutest, thanks for informing us more on the meerkats. Very good for us to know when encountering one and understanding their behaviour ☺
Love those adorable scoundrels 😍. Who would have thought such a harsh environment as the Kalahari and Namib would be the cradle of such cute and loving though resourceful creatures? Thank you for keeping them safe!
I love meerkats. There used to be a television show in the US, following a meerkat clan, lasting several years. It was a great show. Keep up the good work.
Siempre que conocemos de cerca a un animal lo encontramos maravilloso. La vida en la ciudad agrega comodidad, pero disminuye la calidad de vida, sin duda.
I think this video was excellent. You did very well informing us about the meerkats habits. I enjoy hearing about their species and how they have adapted to their human family. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing, Ruben! Suricats are really fascinating animals (I've learnt from tv docs) in how they live together and their social life (and as you mentioned, they can be quite aggressive both to members of their own mob and outsiders, in particular)! 🇸🇪
Boy you can sure tell when a wild animal has been adopted by humans because they always become obese! ALWAYS!!😅😅 I Used to watch "Meercat Manner". It focused on a family of meercats in the Kalahari. The matron was Flower. It was a great show. Flower was bitten by a venamous snake and she didn't recover from it. Their family dynamics were facinating!!
Minki lifting her leg is adorable😂
I agree! I love that they are so loved and comfortable with him! So sweet! Love how kind their family is to all of the animals! ❤
Who wouldn't lift our legs for this gorgeous man 😍😂😂😂
I'd lift it too for him. Just sayin
You are beautiful man!!! Inside and obviously outside!!!
I knew I always liked meerkats but after seeing your videos I fully realize just how adorable they are!!
Those meerkats are seriously chonky. Very well fed little chubsters!
They're so cute. Very sensitive to their environment. Thank you for rescuing them.
Minki is such a chunky girl!!! I love when she falls over and goes to sleep. Belly rubs and full spa days
They’re so comically cute ❤. Those little faces, tubby bodies, little feet 😂
Minki and Jerry are a delight. Thanks for showing these beautiful meerkats to the world. They are species that many of us on youtube have not seen before. Best wishes

@@Rubennamibia do you ever get any injured birds that can’t be released back into the wild?
@@Rubennamibia❤❤❤
Thank you so much for the videos. The world needs more people like you and your family! Your compassion and love is absolutely amazing!
I love when Minki lifts her leg up for you to scratch her lol
Minky and Jerry are so effing special and they give me so much joy. Them and Cindy.

Thank you so much and there’s videos coming of the other animals and of course more of Cindy 🙏🏻
You're a natural on camera. Great content. I think your channel is going to blow up.
That's what I think. Maybe there's an episode of Nature in his future.
Never thought I’d be jealous of a meerkat!
wrong.
So didn't I :D
I should be the one sitting on it! 😍
I agree
Get a life
Nat geo should sign him up for a wildlife show. He’s perfect.
Yes!!

Did you ever think about the fact that they are in Africa and expropriated the land that belonged to Africans.
@@thenubianspeaks4329
Irrelevant !
@@thenubianspeaks4329This isn't his fault
@@MikiCeri He is enjoying the fruits and privileges it brought
@@thenubianspeaks4329Ok and you're bitter. Have you visited any of the African countries?
How lucky you are to experience such love from these animals. ❤ they really trust you
I am so in awe of your relationship with these precious babies.
That is sooo cute that Minki thinks she's untouchable royalty and on top of all the other animals around there! 😂😆😂👑

Ladies, ladies....lol. I remember watching a little show called meerkat manor. They have to be one of the cutest animals alive.
my mum LOVED that show!!!
Your a great man with a great heart .
I love to hear the way he describes each animal’s behaviors ☺️

I love the video of rhuben holding and playing with the baby baboons. They are adorable. What a wonderful job. Very rewarding job.

I just love the way they sit! so cute!
I appreciate all your knowledge about Meerkats. The best is what is a group of Meerkats called? A mob! Fantastic!
Those meerkats are lounge cats. I love the way they both chill on your shoulders. 🙂
Ha ha...funny little rascals.
Your one handsome man
On every level as well!
He so hot! Yummy! 😍
Right?!
I’ll agree with that’s on all levels.
All of you are beautiful.
Learned alot and it was fun to watch not only Minki and Jerry, BUT you too Ruben you are damn good looking.

Sublime in so many ways.

What a lovely family this is-human as well as the animals!! Ruben is so humble.
The meerkat you are holding is so lucky.
I could listen to this man talk for hours. 🥵
Wtf
He is so cute
Are you gay?
Ok reading your comments you like Sausage up your butt..
Ruben aint gay bro
Scotsmen & Afrikaners have the most alluring accents.
They are just the cutest, thanks for informing us more on the meerkats. Very good for us to know when encountering one and understanding their behaviour ☺

Such great videos. Every now and then you see a person or a place online or in a picture and just wish you could be there, your videos do that! ❤

I swear to god, i have a rusky toy terrier and Minky looks and sounds like her 😂 They are so cute!
