Raising a Grocery Store Lobster as a Pet

- Keeping a grocery store lobster as a pet is not as easy as it seems, but it's very rewarding! In this video we set up a huge 265 gallon aquarium and then go to the market and get a lobster or two!
I can't wait to introduce Pancake to Waffle!

Just to clarify, the plan is not to put all three in the same tank (it never was). Toast is going in a separate tank. The plan is to put Pancake in the large tank with Waffle, under very close observation. Dungeness crabs and lobsters co-exist in the wild and they don't hunt each other unless they are extremely hungry (search "Lobster vs Crab" to observe). When Waffle is satisfied, which the plan is that she always will be, she is timid even with worms.
If you go to a commercial aquarium you will see multiple different kinds of predatorial sea creatures (sharks, stingray, etc.) happily coexisting with each other, this is the goal with Pancake and Waffle.
Thank you all for joining me on this journey, I appreciate the feedback and understand the concerns. I think it's awesome how many of you care about the well being of these creatures :)
This tank is 265 gallons, almost twice as big as Leon's, so they will both have plenty of space, however if they appear hostile or stressed I will put a divider between them.
Dungeness crab, cancer magister, are found in the Pacific Ocean from Alaska to California. American lobster, homarus americanus, are found in the Atlantic ocean on the east coast of Canada and the U.S. they aren't found within 1,000+ miles of each other.
@@Matt19076 absolutely true!!!
@@JustJoshingHere yeah, we do care about the well being of the creatures. We just wish that you would start caring about them, too. You could have picked any number of ways to create a cash grab channel, why'd you pick one where animal safety is at risk?
Oh good I’m glad to hear that you have a plan and it sounds like a well thought out plan. I am so excited to see when you Come out with a new video.
Nothing, beats Leon the lobster
meanwhile the mantis shrimp rn:🌚
So true
@@jawannjohnson7302 mantis shrimp is tiny compared to a American lobster the lobster would crush a mantis shrimp with no effort
@@K1ng_Squ1dZ im pretty sure the mantis shrimp would be to fast to get crushed by a lobster and would get some punches on it im not sure what the outcome would be tho
@@valentin5690 I sure hope someone won't be stupid enough to find out.
Guess everyone is going to get a lobster now with Leon’s success.
yep and 95% of them will not do the proper reasearch like this bozo
Naaaahh... Tropical freshwater crayfishes and shrimps are much more colorful and easier to house, keep and even breed in captivity. They don't have the planktonic larval stage of American Lobsters, and freshwater aquaria are less expensive and generally much easier to manage. Plus they won't outlive their keeper as American Lobsters do.
Makes it sound like Leon was the first lobster ever saved from a store…. Oh wait he wasn’t
@@abbyblabby5938 It Leon's keeper doesn't keep him cool enough during hot weather, Leon won't live to anything approaching his potential lifespan of +100 years. Leon is also likely to suffocate or die from an ammonia spike if a power failure occurs in his area.
It’s not like that guy was the first to ever do it, but I guess I can see how this guy was riding off the current obsession with Leon
pancake just chilling in the sand with only his sand-covered shell showed is the most adorable thing I've seen recently
I can agree with you
I love how waffle was decorating her own habitat️️️. Glad to know that lobsters have a sense of decoration! .
So happy to see Leon making an impact, it’s so heartwarming! But please think about keeping Pancake in his own tank. I’m worried having two lobsters and a crab all together in one tank will be too much. And Pancake seems happy where he is. Thank you for saving these adorable creatures. :)
Leon?
@Lou basically, this guy named
Brady Brandwood (his RUclips channel) wanted to see what it was like to have a grocery store lobster. He did a lot of research and actually helped save the lobster. His video gained millions of followers with Leon’s story. The whole thing was huge and people are trying to do the same thing. But, a lot of people are doing it for the clout than to actually take care of the lobsters. So it’s sending poor care tips to people watching those videos sadly.

@@VelvetCamn oh I know about leon but this lobster isn’t Leon😂
Caring for a single Lobster in this tank would be fine, You can see how well Waffle has adapted to the tank, with her excavations and rearranging of the sand and ornaments, she really likes the environment and is making it her home, the exploration is a good indicator of healthiness and willingness to eat is too.
When you add the smaller Lobster and the Crab this peacefulness will be broken, it will be a constant fight for food and territory and they will all stress each other out, everytime they meet in the tank it will be an issue there is just simply not enough room.
Keep them all separated and you will have 3 happy pets, put them together and you may be left with one and if stress gets the better of it they will all die.
a battle to the death i see
(referring to if pancake, waffle, and toast fighting)
plot twist: its actually a crustacean hunger games, loser doesn’t get eaten
@@Mario_Rios_Finance Pretty much
@ Nitro GamePlay I don't agree, and I've extensive experience keeping decapod crustaceans as a hobbyist and as a trained biologist.
An American Lobster that is in a good environment remains under cover during much of the day. Sustained wandering and digging DURING THE DAY are signs of extreme stress and efforts to escape or dig a suitable shelter! They are the opposite of indications that a lobster is comfortable in its' habitat!
Homarus Lobsters are normally active mainly at night, when they venture from their daytime retreats and search for food, and in the case of adult breeding males, attempt to track females by pheromones. After finding prey and eating their fill (they are both scavengers and predators, but unlike most crayfishes, eat little plant material), they retire to their homes.
The big risk in housing powerful predatory crustaceans together is with cannibalism of molting and post molt individuals. Crayfish farmers use commercial feeds fortified with calcium to reduce this problem, but some cannibalism still occurs. In their planktonic larval stages, Homarus lobsters are intensely cannibalistic. This declines as they reach adulthood, but they have no qualms about eating conspecifics that have recently shed and are outside of shelter. I've seen too many aquarium stores with crayfish tanks containing carcasses of recently molted individuals that had their appendages eaten off as they were fatally squeezed by the pincers of often food and calcium deficient tankmates; a pitiful sight!
gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
I love how he mentioned the RUclips channel where this idea came from. Respect! ❤️
❤❤❤
Been a really hard week here and my son and I just watched this
Best thing I’ve seen
So heartwarming
Waffle has so much personality ❤️
Your mom should be so incredibly proud of u
you need to cover the top of the Cave!! They feel safer in a Enclosed space I think that’s why she keeps digging!!!!
listing to him just joshing he seems like a expert
Yeah all the other people that have done the same have an actual cave.
No he shouldn't the cave could collapse and kill the lobster
@@rbminer4567 What are you going to do put a brick on top of it?!!
@@alexbadillo9940 you would put rocks right the rocks would crush the lobster in the leon video they made a cave on ep.3 and left it without a top because of this
as big as that tank is i am not certain it is big enough to house not just 2 lobsters but a crab too, without them coming into conflict, the american lobsters, lobsters of the family nephropidae which waffles and toast are part of are very much solitary creatures, only coming together during mating season, most (if not all) species of crab are more social, but that doesn't mean they will get along with 2 lobsters, some people when intent on keeping more than one lobster in the same tank will put a net up to divide the space. but i tend to think that separate tanks are the best. obviously this doesn't apply to smaller specias like those clams and sea snails which are no threat to either crab or lobster and are generally none intrusive. but if you watch brady's videos with Leon, the lobster was really bothered by those little killi fish.
Facts
Im glad they both share their experiences with Grocery store pets. The Decapods are so awesome but I hope someone names their Crab Eugene or Tamatoa.
Maybe even put in a black light and some glow in the dark stuff.
At first I thought it was a decent sized tank for a lobster - then he decides to put 2 lobsters in and a crab... 🤦♀️
It doesnt seem like this guy is gonna listen to reason.... I really hope we dont see him killing them by not listening to any of us.
I'm hoping that he's just ramping up tension over it, and won't actually do it, all of our comments help things in the algorithm.
Thank you for your contribution to lobster kind. When the reckoning begins you shall be spared.
Wow so mesmerizing and bought tears to my eyes as I was just in the store and had to walk by the sad live lobster 🦞 tank and I hate them and feel so bad for the creatures inside. The story of Waffles, Toast and Pancake warmed my heart. Thank you so much for doing this.❤️
First: Please give the Lobster a real cave so that you can't see in the cave from above. Lobsters are NOCTURNAL, so they want a DARK cave.
Second: You shouldn't keep Lobsters with other Lobsters or crabs and even for more then one lobster this tank is too small.
Third: Please look up how their NATURAL HABITAT looks like (they come from the east coast of Kanada), so there aren't corals. There are lot of rocks and stones and algeas / sea weed, etc.
PLEASE HEED MY ADVICE. I know what I'm talking about. Lobster are my favorite animals since I was a kid.
ps: love it that you are rescuing lobsters!
Yes so important. Not just buy something and say you made it better… He‘s the worst at that…
lol Kanada (also you bring a lot of good points)
@Vexclin The fake plants are the least of their worries.
From all comments I've seen on the last videos and this one saying not to put them all together and yet he still completely ignores the comments.
I doubt he actually cares about them the way Brady does. I personally think he's only doing it for the views.
@@kellyykells I disagree, based on the pancake video and based on how he was acting in it (which yes could have been fake) I think he does really care for them, plus the amount of money that tank was, was not cheap.
My son was watching this and I got sucked in. I love how you saved these sea creatures and gave them a chance to live! I love waffle and her personality lol.
Watch videos about leon the lobster. It‘s the original.
Lol
Check out Leon the Lobster, as that is probably what inspired this and is a really awesome, calming and educational watch.
It is worse bro
😅it’s a suesed
I love this so much. It made me cry happy tears. Thank you for doing this- what lucky little creatures!!
Ich weiß, wie lecker Schalentiere schmecken...aber wirklich wunderschön anzusehen, wie diesen totgeweihten Tieren, ein neues Leben geschenkt wird!!! Vielen Dank dafür!
If Leon's keeper is setting a trend and more people are caring for and loving these creatures, rescuing them from the grocery store, it can only be a good thing.
I hope it doesn't start some kind of hype in buying grocery store lobsters, I hope this doesn't make a demand for fishing lobsters and stuff
Cute but still absolutely delicious
I don't think so because it will drive up sales so then the stores get more lobsters so more get taken from their actual habitat
They’re so amazing to watch . It’s heartwarming to watch those bands get clipped and know these beautiful creatures are being saved
no one cares about the original video 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Hope you remembered to reinforce the floor under it unless you're on a slab. Brady's tank is around 1,600 lbs, thats a lot of weight in one spot on a framed floor. My cousin has a few big saltwater tanks and we had to go into the crawl space and pour two additional piers
yes my 150 gL made my floor fall
A good point and one that many don't think about when diving into these kinds of projects.
Good advice. My house has an old fashioned solid cement foundation which can withstand way more than an average one
I am so grateful to this trending, all these lobsters getting good homes makes my heart glow!!!!
This may be a bit of an old comment however I think we need to realize this is only making the supermarket corporations continue to replace these rescued lobsters and crabs In the same poor conditions they started with. It’s a bit of a sad reality with capitalistic companies
also did anyone notice that the store keeper’s spelling is horrible? when he went to get one the sign said “ LIVE *LOSTER* “ instead of “ LIVE *LOBSTER* “
Please let pancake have its bubbles on the new tank, you may not like it for aesthetic reasons, but pancake does, maybe get one of those ornaments that are treasure chests that opens occasionally and release bubbles just like in finding nemo
@@goldfinchproductions3526 you're right, maybe both may become stressed by it, specialy on feeding time and molting season, i wish for the best, hopefully we get good news next video, i love pancake and the new friend 🦀💕🦞🥰👍👍👍👍
@@theoffensiveidiot5996 yes me to
@@theoffensiveidiot5996 I also think Pancake should get to keep his bubbles but u made a mistake in writing that comment... the mistake is that u said u love Pancake and the new friend, there is 2 new friends for Pancake and I want to include BOTH of the lobsters, Waffle and Toast! But I hope u don't take this offensively and hope that u understand what i'm saying. Thanks!😊🦞🦞🦀
The bubbles are still being made and circulated into the tank. It works just as well as having them in the actual tank, just without the bubbles blocking the view. The water is still very oxygenated.
Whoa wait a sec aren't lobsters territorial? He may not get along with poor Pancake!
(Also really happy to see Pancake is still thriving!)
Yep he didn't really think about that or anything about crabs and lobsters
Yeah people have been commenting that ever since he mentioned getting a lobster friend for Pancake but he doesn't seem to read comments
@@paikio Big difference between Brady and this guy. Brady actually listens to feedback as well as being pretty smart in general. This guy is just doing whatever he wants. If he doesn't prepare adequate space he's going to wind up with some dead or dismembered critters. Which is a shame given the size of that aquarium.
The part that blows my mind is he dropped HUGe amounts of cash for a 265 gallon tank .... but just uses shit tier cheap plastic decorations.
@@Destinystrike Yeah this dude has no idea what he's doing and we have no idea how long ago these were filmed so the animals might already be dead and that's why he doesn't seem to listen to people telling him this is a bad idea. Cause I've seen him liking and responding to some positive comments
yeah this guy has a history of casual animal abuse
This was so cute! after a long sad day watching this video just melted my heart! Thanks.
That’s so cool that you do this . I bet they feel so much better having a huge area without laying on top of each other
Wow! I never knew Lobsters could decorate homes! I like the style she went for! 😂
yep
BRUH SAME
I love decorating
Make sure you do you’re reading on the octopus thing. They are hundreds of times more difficult to keep than lobsters and crabs. If you’re planning on getting one set the tank up now. Octopus need a seasoned aquarium. The tank should be up for a few months before you add one. Make sure there isn’t any copper in the water. Also drip acclimate all invertebrates to prevent death by temperature and salinity change.
I'm surprisingly into these lobster pet videos. I started with Leon on Brady's channel and now I'm starting your crustacean videos. Interesting psychology.
It’s so awesome that you shouted out the other RUclipsrs, you’re a king!!
The way she uses her little claws to move the big rock 🥰🥺
I can't imagine a crab and a lobster living in harmony in a tank, come molting time they would be in danger from the other.
2 lobster and a crab*
This guy doesn't care, he's only doing all this for content
@@stegosaure8247 huh?
@@-Delirious- possibly both
What is molting?
I found playing this at half to 3/4 speed really helped. Also having a parts car or a lot of spares parts is necessary. Thanks for a good tutorial
I’m glad Leon has made such a big impact
YOU CAN NOT PUT THEM TOGETHER!!! THEY WILL EVENTUALLY FIGHT AND ONE WILL DIE OR BE CONTINUOSLY STRESSED OUT!!! also, cover the top of the hide, and mix the salt into the water, not the water into the salt, and please pay attention to the nitrogen, nitrate and ammonia parameters as turbo start is for freshwater and saltwater need colonized live rock, not decor from petsmart, so please add a LOT more live rock as it looks amazing and creates a natural environment for the wild animals instead of fake plastic plants (which are expensive af too). Other than that, great video!
Turbostart isn’t just for freshwater. It’s for saltwater as well. It’ll just colonize on the bio balls. I really hope he tested his tank was cycled before adding animals. Good point on the the mixing of saltwater though 😃. Hopefully this person looks at the comments
Stop yapping
Waffle is missing part of her shell on her right claw by the first joint ! That may be the reason she was unable to break open the shrimp. I would suggest you crack open the shell on the shrimp for her until the issue is resolved with her first molt in your tank. Great video. Frances
yes, when she molts shes gonna get killed by one of the lobsters,
Ok wow you know a lot
I love your posts! Thank you for saving these animals and showing us how to do it!
We need need people like you to save the lobsters, octopuses and crabs. Your a hero.
But they taste so goood
he's still gon die either way its like you get a luxury resort but you die in 2 days
2:39 The expression on that parrots face when you look at its eyes has a very human characteristic of satisfaction.
I've never seen a lobster 🦞 happy. And this lobster was beyond happy. So cool to see how a lobster lives!
Check out Brady Brandwood. He did this about a year ago with Leon the grocery store lobster and his videos about Leon are adorable and full of information about lobsters actions and molting.
He is 100% copying Brady and Leon in this very unoriginal video. 😕
@@NYheartinAZ bro he saved a lobster it’s not unoriginal he’s just straight up a good human being
@Matthew Harrup agreed
I like being happy.
I love this little breakfast group can't wait to see more and how everything unfolds. 👌💯
I’m glad to see this is a possible thing. I have a Murder She Wrote fanfic I want to write where Jessica’s great niece inherits her house and tries to make lobster rolls with a live lobster but can’t bring herself to kill it, so she names it Snap Clawhauser and sets up a big fish tank for him, making people think she’s gone made by taking like Snap’s a person or a dog. I like the idea of this woman living alone and just having full conversations with a lobster like it can respond to her.
As cool as having an octopus is, they are notoriously difficult because of their intelligence, plus they are also extremely shy so you wouldn’t see it most of the time, and if you remove all the decorations then it’ll get really bored.
They are also escape artists
@@megodynamite Yes! That tank as is that Pancake is in will not contain an octopus for long. It will find its way out in the middle of the night easily. I can see the video titles to try and get views, "My octopus is Houdini".
@@megodynamite That is also true, although they usually only escape out of boredom or annoyance about something. For example, there are instances of octopus short circuiting the power in an aquarium because the bright lights bothered it
So incredibly heartbreaking that they are eaten. They are smarter than 3 year old kids. So are pigs.
@@grantarmstrong2968 Octopuses try to escape even relatively large tanks as a survival strategy. They either suffocate, overheat under the sun, or are easy prey for many enemies if trapped in tide pools. They readily crawl overland to escape small volumes of water; in a house, this means they die in a corner far from the tank that housed them. They can squeeze through any opening large enough for their very pliable eyeballs to pass. They are also very strong for their size, and can lift weighted tank covers with ease. They will also stop filer/aeration systems by moving tubes in their efforts to escape, suffocating themselves or poisoning themselves with an ammonia spike as a result.
Octopuses don't get bored without concealment in their tanks, they are severely stressed if unable to hide, because this reaction is adaptive, and forces them to find or construct hiding places from their many enemies in the wild. They are also far more intolerant of poor water quality than American Lobsters and Dungeness Crabs. I can see that you've never kept or tried to keep octopuses in aquaria!
Waffle seems “fresher” than Leon was and more animated in her new environment.
Oh yes
@Roach It wasn't a bad comment so chill out. This one does look healthier from the start.
@Roach U r Leon's Godfather!! I 🥰🥰🥰Leon!
If you remember, Leon had bands on his claws long enough that the owner had to physically open and exercise his claws and they gradually started working. You could even see band marks on waffles claws, so waffle definitely was a more recent catch.
i never knew that they decorated their lair. I love these videos> Please make more.
gotta love it when they realize: holy crap ! i can move ! and they make it home, i equate it rearranging the furniture and decor to their liking haha wonderful vid my friend, keep em coming !
Have you researched if there is not only enough space but also if Pancake and Waffles can live under similar water conditions? Like can they live under similar levels of temperature and salt?
Dungeness crabs and Atlantic lobsters thrive under similar conditions; I would be more worried about potential conflict, especially with Waffles attacking Pancake.
@@pigeonfowl474 yeah, I'm about a minute into the video and I'm not even gonna watch it because I already know he's a piece of trash that's just after money and not at all interested in the health of his pets. When he first got the crab, I thought he might actually want to do it for better reasons, but then he showed his true colors very quickly. He just wants money and realized this kind of thing can get him some views. RUclips is just like Hollywood; someone comes up with a clever idea for a movie, it makes money, next thing you know, everyone else is making the same movie with different actors.
Thanks for asking :) They have very similar water conditions, lobsters are a lot more tolerant with change so I cater toward Pancake but they are both within a healthy range. In fact even in this video the two tanks are connected
Thanks you for the reply. I made that mistake with my fish.
@@JustJoshingHere DO NOT PUT PANCAKE, TOAST AND WAFFLES TOGETHER. Lobsters are very territorial and they would kill each other and Pancake.
i need a live feed of waffle so i can just watch her. i could watch her for hours ❤❤❤
I love just mango hanging on josh and eating on the aquarium
Glad to know that lobsters have a sense of decoration! 🐝👌🏻
pistol shrimps do too! mine spends all day carefully moving each grain of sand where he wants it. very fun to watch ☺️
I love how waffle was decorating her own habitat❤️❤️❤️
Aw yes waffle
I watched one video of yours and now I'm addicted to your channel. Love from India 🇮🇳❤
Same here, but from the USA. Looks like it’s gone global
re; releasing the lobster back into the wild-- Brandy explained that to safely release a lobster to where it won't be immediately eaten by predators, you'd have to go miles and miles off the coastline of specific areas of their native habitat. The shallows near the coast will just get them immediately eaten by birds.
Leon was the pioneer for this, love it
Kudos to giving others credit for your inspiration. That says a lot about you.
Wowww and mango is so cute❤ thanks for helping these animals!
Josh - in my opinion - you needed to wait 10 weeks for the tank to properly cycle before adding Pancake and Waffle. I know Quickstart bacteria allows for instant addition of a few very small fish - but a giant lobster and giant crab is another story entirely. There is a chance Pancake passed away because of elevated ammonia or nitrates. Also using RO water would be better than filtered kitchen water.
I might be wrong. I’m no expert. But this is what I got from my LFS.
Yeah he did jack shit research
I tried with the lobster, but they didn’t even make it to an hour. What did I do wrong?
i love how waffle started moving everything in her home like a lot of us at 3am rearranging everything
It makes me so happy to watch her come from a grocery store tank shoved in with a bunch of other lobsters to thriving in her own private aquarium 💜
Such a juxtaposed world we live in. Some humans think of animals as objects to objectify and exploit while others think of them as what they are: individuals who should be protected and cared for.
Salvare astici Save Lobsters now👍🏻
@@Letthembelightpeaceonelove I'm the latter because I'm in awe of fauna and flora
“i then add some chemicals to keep the chemicals out” 😂
I got a crayfish after this a while back. he's a sweet Lil dude. he's more than tripled in size since I got him. These animals have so much personality and he's my favorite of my aquatic pets. I have a video on my channel of me feeding him a shrimp when he was younger. he's so cute. and he just gets more beautiful every molt
I recommend you watch Brady's videos a few times. He is really great with Leon and knows a lot.
Brady is better tbh
Don’t put crabs and lobsters together and another tip don’t put fake plants in lobster or crab tanks because the tend to nibble on it and die
Read pinned comment! Summary: these two species can co-exist unless starving.
@@aquaqt575 very poor idea, the first one to molt is usually the first one to go
@@aquaqt575 the video he provided is them on open ocean, this is between two captive animals and a tank built for one large crustacean.
Lobsters are solitary, passing by a crab doesn’t bother them unless the crab makes it it’s effort to bother the lobster back, plus, the area likely wasn’t its territory, but in a tank, *the whole* tank is the crustaceans territory. If a lobster was out with the crab, they will fight to the death for the space, it’s not safe. I’m open ocean, sure. But this is a *tiny* space, they have no means to give enough space to one another unless he were to pay for a pool sized tank for them
That's like my childhood dream!!! Getting those poor guys out of the tank!!!
- 9:49 awee that's so cute she's so happy 😊 😃! She's like, "I feel like I'm in the ocean again" also make sure to have the water SUPER cold otherwise they won't survive. Since they are cold water lobsters 🦞
P.S. you should cover the top of the cave you made so that Waffle 🧇 can hide like they do in their natural habitat.
Be wary of Turbo Start, etc. Sometimes that might not work and you have to cycle for longer. Always make sure to test your params, especially gh and kh which is essential in keeping crustaceans who have a shell. You also need to have multiple caves in order for them to not kill each other during molt.
Bacterial additives can instantly start a cycle if you go slowly. 1 or 2 small fish/week with minimal feeding, not dumping in whole prawns.
@@sdghtjsdcgs The thing is, they CAN, however, don't always work. Just saying you have to be careful. :)
They're going to end up killing eachother regardless, they are naturally territorial, and that tank Is way to fuckin small for 2 big aquatic crustaceans like that
@@ChimneyCrab737 Yeah lmao, the least he can fucking do it put in a cave with a closed top. 🤣
If you do end up getting a octopus, please do your research. By this I mean a secure, escape proof tank, correct environment, with rocks, and crevices to hide in. I love that you are rescuing!!
He's not rescuing anything!!! He's literally just trying to get money from other people's ideas with absolutely no regard for the health and safety of the animals!
@@since1876 wow. Way to completely ignore the fact that lobsters are living individuals. He literally is rescuing them. If he hadn’t taken them home and built them these tanks, they would have either starved to death or been boiled ALIVE to have their legs eaten with butter. Who cares if he’s making money from this video? How else is he going to afford to buy all that equipment? Think before you type.
@@Letthembelightpeaceonelove rescuing something means you take it from a bad situation and put it in a good place. For example, if you see a horse and it's so skinny that you can count its ribs, you might take that horse home, give him a healthy diet and a big field to run in. Josh is taking them and bringing them home to abuse them on the Internet just so he can make money off of their suffering. I mean, he almost killed pancake right after getting it because he didn't know how to set up the tank. Then he wanted to get a lobster to put in the same fucking aquarium. Once one starts molting, the other will see its chance to go commit a homicide. He does ZERO research on anything, he never thinks for a even a moment about what's good for the animals, he just does things and hopes for the best. If you want to see someone who has rescued an animal, go look up Leon the lobster. It's this but actually done right.
And you clearly either haven't watched all of Josh's videos or you weren't paying attention to them, otherwise you'd see exactly what I'm talking about, kid.
And as far as boiling them alive goes, first off, you have no idea if they feel pain when it happens. They very likely do, but you can't really prove it. Also, they likely die very fast. If you imagine a human being boiled to death, it would be easily one of the most brutal deaths possible. But we also weigh at least a hundred times what they do. Most crabs and lobsters are about a pound or two, which means that the hot water will warm their core temperature up to a fatal temperature MUCH faster than it will a 200 pound human. It's possible that it could be a painful end to their life, but it's going to be a very brief suffering time. And, most importantly, they're fucking delicious with butter, thank you very much.
@@since1876 Wow, I can see that for some reason you’re very biased and also very argumentative. You’re literally arguing with a vegan right now about what rescuing someone means and what animal abuse looks like. Would you rather those lobsters got BOILED ALIVE? He’s not abusing them at all. Just because it took him some time to set up their tank? I’m pretty sure he had it all set up before he took them home too.
The lobsters were stuffed by the hundreds into TINY, dirty, empty tanks and clearly didn’t get fed either and you’re complaining about him putting two into a huge tank together?
I REALLY hope you don’t eat animals or any animal products whatsoever, because if you are then you’re paying for animal cruelty about 10000 times worse than what you saw in the beginning of this video when they were in the tank at the grocery store. If you’re not vegan then you DIRECTLY pay for animal cruelty with your own money.
And then you eat it. And you absorb all of the cells of those abused animals (which have memories by the way) so you’re absorbing cruelty.
@@since1876 OH MY GOD. I just saw the last part of your comment. You’re literally arguing about him putting them in a huge, clean tank, WITH food and now you’re saying you don’t even know if they feel pain or not AND admitting to at you literally pay for them to be killed so you can eat them unnecessarily????? What in the world are you taking? This is a new level to delusional, hypocritical behavior. Oh my god, go back to school and stay there. Lobsters absolutely feel that shit. It’s been proven.
"Mango eating a mango"
Best lines that I've ever heared in my opinion
Nice to see Leon the lobster made a noticeable impact on people!
It’s really cool to see how an impulse purchase to save a crab just spawned this awesome looking ocean tank of sea life, all meant for food. Super cool
When I was at the east coast of Canada I saw lots of lobsters and I was crying thanks for helping out these little poor animals
What to just joshing he never made any more videos
I would love a crab as a pet
Leon is doing awesome! Ive been watching brady's channel for awhile now
- 8:54 "toast because he would've been toast at the store" .. well actually, he would've been lobster.. with butter.
This is so heartwarming it feels like she's saying thank you 😭
I'm really loving this keeping grocery store lobsters as a pet trend, lobsters are so cool.
Hopefully it’s not just a trend! I hope we keep it going until no lobsters are taken home to be boiled alive, but kept safe and cared for
@Idk__ Sorry but I don’t have time for defeatist attitudes and nihilism. You’re going to go around in circles and never go anywhere with that mindset. Most people I know care about the suffering in the world, even if it’s not there’s. That’s why most of my family is vegan now. That’s hey my friends only make vegan food when I’m in their presence, because they know that seeing body parts on the table bothers me. Imagine if activists never tried. Imagine if MLK JR had the attitude you do. Progress would never happen. You have to make the change you want to see in the world. Every action has a reaction.
@@Letthembelightpeaceonelove but then more will keep being fished up for food, and bows there’s double the demand :(
@@Letthembelightpeaceonelove they are fished for fucking FOOD dingus! There are marine animals to be pets! And others to be as dinner. Despite how cruel it could be, there are 2 reasons why I see no problem with ‘boiling lobsters alive’
1. They have 0 pain receptors
2. Most chefs dispatch them before cooking
Do NOT keep grocery store wildlife as pets.
I know they’re technically part of the food chain, but it’s kinda heartwarming to see these little guys getting a second chance at life🥰
4:53 Bread dough mixer...? lol
I believe most people on planet earth call that a hand-mixer. :-P
If you let the two lobsters in the tank you're going to have to watch them like a hawk all the time. Pancake might not be safe with them either. Lobsters do best on their own.
Also be aware that giving them large items like that shrimp to eat that with all that debris being released and the amount of time the leftovers remain, it can send you into a situation for ammonia spikes down the road. Be sure to keep a sharp eye on parameters.
How are the coati and the opposum? We haven't had any updates on them so far this year as far as I can see.
the crab may even end up killing a lobster if one lobster happens to molt
@@Mario_Rios_Finance If one of the lobsters don't kill the crab first... This started off cute when it was just Pancake, but now it's a recipe for disaster.
god forbid any of those situations
lobsters are cannibals, waffle seems to be healthier and well fed enough to be ready to molt, not sure though.
If she molts early, the smaller lobster will eat her, as hes weaker
#RIPCoati 💀 homie prob fed, I’m sorry But I’m new, I just find this channel.
the lobster and crabs are so damn cute
I've been to that store Hiep Thai in Arlington a few times. I always wished for better lives for those creatures, now here's one getting it!
Thanks for sharing your new rescued lobsters. I have been following Leon's journey and will follow you to see how things are going with them.
It is so sweet you got a lobster!
Because everytime we went to the store,
We saw poor little lobsters being sold.
My mom has always been wanting to save those lobsters!
So it is so sweet you got a lobster and took care of it! ❤️
Do you eat meat ?
I'm not gonna lie, you're really gorgeous. Also, very well done with these magnificent animals, I really love what you're doing.
You’re so Thoughtful to animals many of animals are dying and you’re helping the earth
They’re so cute, they’re just like us 🥹🥹🥹🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 they just want to eat and sleep comfortably
I'm really happy that Pancake is alive and you bought him a new friend, they might look each other rarely but might not feel lonely, happy life to both 😊
These videos make me cry!! They always seem so happy to have been saved!
I saw the dungeness crab that was awesome too just wanted to see you take care of other kind of species or crabs
Octopus are escape artists so gotta watch out for that lol
just give them a landsuit and let them explore.
@@PhillipRaymondGoodman or just give them a impossible maze to figure out
Enjoying these adventures as much as our friend Leon. Thanks for keeping the trend alive!
This is my childhood fantasy. Thank you for living it so I can see.
I love how he named them all the foods in the song called "do you like waffles?"
This was the first video me and my son watched of yours, and he paused, then he had to go get Grandma and started it over. We are definitely joining and we are going to help you get to saving many more animals. I love this idea!
Please do not put natural born enemies into one tank together! (Like octopus, crab and lobster) That would be so cruel! These pets you have are so cute..
I agree 💯 %
Yes. I've seen many comments like that under other videos of him, but he doesn't seem to give a shit
Especially since octopus eats crab 😬 and lobsters/crabs are very territorial
@@compi653 yeah this guy is just a neglectful disgrace of an animal keeper, he's terrible and doesn't deserve to have these amazing animals as pets
He will see it now because the top comment talks about that
I love pancake tring to eat the snail and hes like 'NO no no"
14:34 🦞Waffle’s face 🐚🪨🪸💎 “Wtf Bro… always some new BS Im crawling into! I had plans to chill when I got back and you got me moving all of these shells n sht!”
Umm, they're going to fight. The bigger one, Waffles, is going to kill them all, unless she gets molten when you put them all together. People been saying that. Sadly, it shows that Josh doesn't read the comments...
He does read them I've seen him liking and answering to positive comments
Noice but he will try it regardless of what we say.
Max intervenes if the situation starts to escalate.
Only if you want that to happen which will not
Makes me happy to see pancake thriving!
Maybe put the snapping turtle in there
Bruh it’s a saltwater tank
@@vortex-11b lllll Pppp
@@MantisKungfu bruh
@@vortex-11b yea. He put salt in the last one so I'm sure he'll do the same with this one.
Pancake and toast devourer their meals like a bunch of chads while pancake values her work over her food lol.
this is so ♥warming i cant stop wanting to so this i think i found my dream job
I can't be the only one who wants a pet lobster now
Meglio così amico
Leave me alone.
