not everyone is equipped to take care of a a pet. Thank you for doing the mature thing of taking Remy back and giving him another chance of a good home.
he is def not a person that can give him a good home you mf. RATS ARE SOCIAL CREATURES. THEY LIVE IN A MF GROUP.
Yeah, even if his care wasn’t the best and there were a lot of flaws not to mention he impulse bought Remy, but he was still mature enough to realize he wasn’t equipped to taking care of Remy and decided to give him to another home which is MUCH better than what most “popular” RUclipsrs are willing to do to any animal they impulse purchased let alone a rat.
Hope Remy is living his best life with hopefully other ratties ❤️ (if he ever did get neutered ofc)
1000 like but yeah that's true 😢
My rat was called Remy untill she died
Ben made the right decision to give back Remy. Rats are a lot and need the proper research and care, and him giving Remy back just shows how much he cares. We love you Ben ❤❤
fr, the fact he was able to acknowledge his own skills not being enough makes him an amazing person
@@amateurdechats agreed. It was even amazing that he broke character and was real about having to leave Remy. I hope he’s doing alright
col rat he mead!!!
he should get 2 pet rats cuz if you only have 1 that’s bad for the rat and keep it this time tbh
Yep but he was so sad
A few notes (if ben gets more):
1. Get more than one
2. Don’t use saw dust because they are prone to respiratory problems
3. Please cover the stairs and floors as they’re feet could get trapped or it could hurt them (could get bumblefoot)
4. Please don’t take them outside again 😅
If you read my comment, thank you, I am sad that you are sad ☹️

Many people have mentioned rats needing other rats to bond with, so I'll throw in another small but very useful tip for rat care... hide aways! Rats love hiding places. You should put lots of places for rats to hide in their enclosure, it makes them feel safe and it stimulates their instincts in a fun way going from one hiding spot to another. It's very easy to get creative with them, too! There are specific ones like sputniks(a plastic toy that can stand on the cage floor or hang from bars), hammocks, plastic igloos, ferret tubes, etc.. If you can't access these for whatever reason, that's fine! Your average dollarstore will have lots of things like tiny plastic buckets and such. You can also use small cardboard boxes... if you have a confident rat, you will often see them roaming, but when they wanna nap nothing is cuter than walking by the cage and seeing a couple tails hanging out of a hammock from a rat slumber party.
My rats were seniors when i got them and didn't like coming out of the cage but they spent their time sleeping or playing with each other.
This ⬆️ 👍🏼
All jokes aside I couldn’t imagine how much it would hurt to give up Remy, it was the right decision though and he’s happy hanging out with his rat friends.

As a person who owns pet rats I think you made the right decision. Rats are a fun pet to take care of but they can be hard pets to take care of at the same time. Rats might not be for everyone but I know one day you will find the right pet💕🐀🐁
No bc rats are so difficult to look afterrrr
i dont think a rat is something you should have as a pet.. maybe a hamster is good
@@zypxier hamsters r shit pets, ive had 3 very cute to look at but so much work for an animal with no thought also they do bite randomly , not ideal for kids
@@arctic-rn1sq so rats dont bite?
@@zypxier No actually! Only if you teach them not to! Sometimes you might get a good rat that’s okay with playing and snuggling with you!
was not expecting him to cry, bro needs a hug fr
You'd be a great rat owner, Ben just do a lot of research about everything first, for example that you can't use wood-chips or anything and they can't be exposed to dust because they are at a super high risk for respiratory infections. If you do research about everything they can and can't have and what they can safely do then you would be a amazing rat dad lol
I feel so bad for Ben rn, after he took Remy back I started crying and I still am and it just breaks my heart to see such a happy person break down like that. And I just wish I could give him a hug rn 😭

It’s good he took him back
@@Halovian_ Ik it’s just sad seeing him cry
Bro he’s an actual id!0t People need to stop having petrol they clearly don’t know how to care for them because that rat is literally dead things to him now domesticated animals cannot survive in the wild and now due to his stupidity he’s dead. He’s always doing stupid things are videos but now he’s actually putting an animal’s life in danger without thinking twice this guy’s an idiot. I don’t know how we honestly didn’t think the rat could possibly get out from that because rats literally climb walls and squeeze through small holes it’s not unknown information he should’ve done his research

„ I just wanted something to take care of“ the way he said it ❤❤❤
Seeing Ben, a usually funny and lively type of person cry, is so heartbreaking. I cried immediately when Ben started crying because of Remy. You made the right choice giving back Remy, I know that one day you'll find something that you can take care of. Love you Ben and Remy.
This is beautiful 🥹
I cried aswell. I felt the sadness Ben did. But I'm lazy remy deffinetley has a safe home now.
I feel the same way. I’m not usually so sympathetic, but seeing him cry, I instantly broke down.
Yea, even a happy and joyful person can cry if they have to, Ben is a human like us, with real emotions too
fr bro 😢
I own rats myself and was quite concerned when I saw the first part of the video for many reasons, one being the cage, the fact there was only one rat. But I'm glad that Ben realised Remy would be better being with other rats and someone who could take better care of Remy. :)
Literally had the same thought. As a rat owner, I had at least 25 cardiac arrest watching the video, and I'm glad he took the right decision. :)
Came here to say the same. I wish RUclipsrs would do a bit more research and educate followers. Rats are emotional, social, intelligent animals. I heard he brought it back so good on him, but I’d love for him to tell followers to do proper research before purchasing a pet.
@@AMarie1981 yes i completely agree
I literally had the same thought i have owned 3 rats in my life and my family love rats so they had about 14 rats though of the years

i hope he gets another one soon and i started crying at the end
That was a really mature and responsible decision considering how hard it can be to let a pet go, even if you've only had them for some time. You'll find the right pet someday!!! 🐁🐀❤️💗

@@aboombalakaka8140 im not its basic your not supposed to get a pet for clicks then return it even tho u didnt do no research 😐
@@Thebestlynettemain he returned it bc something unexpected and out of his control happened
MATURE would be if he did not buy rat at the first place... I thought he is teenager because of his behaving and looking younger but as an adult person he should know that first you should think if you can take of animal... In this point, I really think he bought him just for the sake of video for likes and views... which is a disgusting move .. Like you can not buy animal It is cute I want it.. He is my age and I can not imagine anyone around me of our age doing something immature, selfish an unresponsible to animals... If he will not do research and buy animals for fun or because it is cute, I hope he wont buy any other animals. The animals do have feelings and you should firstly be prepared for it like for child not just get it and not knowing what next and do not investe time in proper preparing. Luckily he had rat just for a little time because alredy he did a massive mistake taking it outside. This could cost the rat health because they are sensitive on dust and wind and it could give them respiratory problems on which the rats are sensitive.
You made a very responsible decision. I'm sure giving back a pet that you're attached to is hard but you clearly cared a lot about his safety which shows you have very good intentions. We love you Ben. ❤
Ben just saying if u wanna get a little guy to take care of that’ll make you feel proud like ur rat son I suggest getting a hampter they’re fat cuddly creatures that in some cases like to be left alone but i think your do great with ‘em👽💃🏻

(BTW I'm sorry you had to get rid of your rat. I actually cried when I say you cry.)
Remy was not just a rat, he was a small part of our lives that we will never forget,it was the right thing to do and I'm sure he is safe and thanking you everyday in his little pea brain for making the right decision. It's never easy giving up pets but we will never forget Remy 💙💙

At a rat owner I wasn’t entirely thrilled by this video and your techniques, but the love you had for little Remy was genuine, and I definitely think you’ll be an amazing rat owner after doing some research. Rats are amazing companions, and their little hearts can store an immense amount of love.
Agreed! After some time of learning and mutureing i bet hewill be great rat owner!! I am happy that now he made the right decision
Yeh i agree, cause the bedding and the cage itself were pretty bad cause rats have really sensitive loungs butttt the love he had for Remi was just so amazing 🥹🥹🥹❤!!
Agreed
As someone who is sitting with two rats in there hoodie pocket I also agree 👍
the amount of dust remy was exposed to scares me
“i just wanted something to take care of” absolutely fucking BROKE my heart
The horror in his voice when rely climbed out littealy broke my heart into pieces
My rats died last year and I wish I had just one more day with them. Like Ben said, I know there just rats…but they are living, beautiful, intelligent creatures that deserve so much more love and recognition from humanity. You did the right thing giving Remi away and I hope one day, when you’re ready, you can get more rats and experience the wonder that is owning pet rats.
I’m so sorry for your loss! It’s just a horrible feeling when you loss a pet. Lots of love and ratty kisses!❤️
You did the right thing. My heartbeat stopped when you brought him outside. You’re lucky you even found him.
A chinchilla is a playful creature that you can actually take outside in that cage and you could still keep him in the enclosure you put Remi in ❤
Seeing him be so emotional just made me cry❤😢 safe travels Remi
Fun fact: rats didn’t cause the Plague. Yersinia Pestis originated in rat fleas and the rats were just as much a victim of the Plague. Rats groom obsessively and are actually cleaner than cats. I've owned 5 rats and they're total sweethearts.
I'm so glad someone else has said this. There's more studies being shown that it was actually humans spreading the plague.
Wild rats can carry some nasties but so does every wild animal. Domesticated rats are good and should only get nasties if they've been outside. You do have to watch out for rat bite fever and it's always good to excersise caution when cleaning their bedding but other than that they shouldn't have diseases.
They can catch ringworm and rat lice though, that's why it's always good to quarantine any new rats in the house for two weeks before introing to the current mischief
Tip for those who are thinking of owning rats or already own some: You should have more than one, I recommend two since they like to stay in groups and are very social creatures. Just make sure they are both the same gender so you don't have to worry about them fighting. Also, DO NOT use the bedding that Ben used in the video. Rats have very sensitive noses, so don't use wood chipping. If you would like more tips, let me know! 😊
How long do they live? Also do the ones u buy have diseases?
@@lydia9757
About 2 years for the regular rat, though it’s hard to let them go, that’s the biggest flaw.
Domesticated rats are way less likely to have diseases than cats or dogs.
@@lydia9757 2-4 years --- I don't know if Yui is referring to like rabies or something
but yes rats are fairly prone to becoming ill and can carry different spreadable viruses
which is why a clean cage environment is a must
@@After_Pasta they don’t live 2-4 years 😂 ans they are referring to stuff like the plague because people associate rats with contagious disease but let me know if your rats lived to four because that might be a world record
@@Elissa_Reads13 Rats typically have short life stages. Domesticated pet rats normally only live 2-4 years-but the longest living rat in captivity lived to be 7 years old! A pet rat's life expectancy is much better than their wild counterparts, though, who typically live less than a year.
Ben-wears a hazmat suit
Also Ben-doesn’t wear a mask
as someone who had to give my bunnies up due to the fact we couldn't take care of them, I understand your pain. you never fail to make me laugh ben
You did really good as a rat owner, I’ve had a few rats before so I can speak from experience. If you ever want another one then I would get a male as they’re usually more mellow. I would also make sure he’s young so that he has more time to feel comfortable in your care. Having rats is a lot of fun and I’ve never had my rats bite ever which is something beginners often fear
I love how different males and females are. All my males can have zoomies, but love cuddling and pats. My girls however are in zoomie mode forever, unless asleep
It’s very true that male rats tend to be more mellow. But always make sure to get them in pairs or more!
Oh yeah good point. They do especially well when you by the pairs from the same breeder so that they have a little background with eachother
@Bryan Wells rats that bite are fairly rare but i have
one that liked to bite just about everything in sight for about the first year
none of my others have ever been like that
how can you say he did great as a rat owner if he only had one rat. he clearly didn't inform himself abouf rats before getting that poor rat.
Hey Ben, I know it was difficult for you to give Remy up again but that was probably the most responsible thing you could have done for that little guy. Not many people have the true courage to admit when their home or lifestyle is not fitting for a pet and I really just want to say I am proud of you for taking that essential and responsible step. Use this as a way to learn and treasure the time with him, not as a mistake. Stay strong
He gave the rat back ?
@@jemdzieci2137at the end yeah
Why are you congratulating him.. He was a terrible owner and he shouldn't have gotten the rat in the first place. He did not know anything on how to care for it. He only got 1, and rats need constant attention every second of their life, and the only way you can do that is buying having 2 or more rats. Also he literally let it outside, that can go wrong in so many ways. Returning the rat was the bare minimum. If he had kept that rat for over a day it could have been depressed and or aggressive. He did not do any research whatsoever.
@@ChickenFryBlox whats your problem, atleast he gave the rat back, thats the most important thing
@@jemdzieci2137 that was lierally the bare minimum
step of seeing ben almost cry: 1. seeing him sad of not finding remy 2. happy for him to find remy in the bushes 3. almos crying seen him sad 4. remy icon being given to izzzy
Rats did not cause the black plague, lice did. Fun fact: Those lice also lived on cats and dogs.
I’m sorry to hear that Ben, when your ready to own another pet I recommend a hamster. Since you seem to be ok with rodents. Not all hamsters are social so you could get a hamster instead so you don’t have to worry about taking care of two rodents. It was very sweet of you to try and make Remy a nice little home but it was for the best, like you said, he’s a social creature. I hope you feel better soon!❤️🩹❤️🩹
Hamsters aren't good starter pets imo
Rats are still far better starter pets
@@koi_eats_grass thats’s true, but Ben has owned multiple pets so I think he knows the responsibility pets come with. I’m not saying he should get a hamster right away, he should still do his research, and there are nothing wrong with hamsters. I’m not saying rats aren’t great but if ben’s looking for a non-social creature then I recommend a hamster, or a beta fish, but fishes aren’t really fun. (Sorry if I sound rude rn, I’m just trying to explain my reasoning a little better, but I see your point)
@@x._.Hachi._.x yea I get what you are saying
It doesn't sound rude btw
He bought a hamster and made a youtube short about it but he deleted it cause of the negativity. He put it in a small cage and clearly didnt do research. Hope he rehomed it
@@koi_eats_grass ok, I'm glad that I didn’t sound rude I didn't want to insult you
It must hurt to give up a pet, not because it was dangerous, but because u felt like u weren't responsible enough, Remy was an adorable chill rat, and i hope he still is an adorable chill rat, and I hope Remy remembers you.😇
chezburger
I feel this, so glad he did the right thing and yes it’s such a painful choice to give up a pet for that reason. I was in the process of re homing my rats because I developed an allergy to them over time, hives, itchy eyes, coughing, sneezing and all that. I had like 7 months to bond with them before I knew I was allergic and I couldn’t give them up at that point. They have a great life don’t get me wrong and I’m definitely responsible, but my issue remains in the painful hives that I break out into every time I clean their cage or take them out to play. For me it is worth the sacrifice to keep my babies but there are all sorts of valid and heartbreaking reasons someone might have to re home a pet.
@@e-cigarette2050 I hope you're coping with having to get rid of ur rats😁
I must agree. They are just about the cutest thing on the planet. Great sized enclosure for him to! You and Remy will become beasties.
Captive rats are much cleaner, I wouldn't be to nervous just wash your hands before and after. Take it slow and you'll learn to trust eachother ❤
Ah, brought him back, shit happens man 🤧
The ending was really sad, it’s sad to see someone who gets attached to an animal, have to get rid of it so fast. It’s hard to own pets, but easier pets to own are like cats, or dogs, I hope your not sad about remy anymore. Even if you miss remy. Just remember how much fun you had.
The ending caught me off guard tho-

For people who are looking to get a rat as a pet here is a helpful tip (from someone who owns multiple rats themselves) when you are looking to buy a new fuzzy friend make sure you buy two or more as rats are pack animals and can get depressed when by themselves. You can tell when your fuzzy friend is loney when they stop eating or drinking. Its a very sad fact but it happened to my friend after one of her rats passed before the other had. I'll let you know though that rats are very clingy, love attention, and live to cuddle with one another! But make sure you do the propper research before purchasing one as it may take you by surprise when half of your closet gets eaten by your new friend...... Its okay though I still love him! (Sometimes) hope this helps!!! (Also I don't think you guys care but my rats names are Remy, and Dedenne (yes after the Pokemon and the movie rat) and the newest one is goop)
Such cute names !! I also own rats 😃
@@snake4683 that's amazing! I'm sure your fuzzy friends are very happy to have you as their owner lol! Have a wonderful day!
I want a rat!
@@ellierose9444 They make great pets! They are very intelligent and can even be potty trained like a puppy! But know they can be destructive if you don't care for them right. Make sure they have the right food for their diet, the right bedding, and make sure they have many things to hide in or chew. Rodents such as squirrel and rats teeth never stop growing so it's nice for them to have something to chew on. They are also at the bottom of the food chain so they often get anxious if left out in the open. So make sure you have spaces for them to hide in. But please do research before purchasing any animal, especially exotic animals such as birds. Hope this helps you at all!
Tizzy taz.Hi want a rat but I can't get one because I have 2 cats it would not end well. I have a Guinea pig but he's like The size of a bunny so they know not to eat him But they would definitely eat A rat if I had a pet rat because they love hunting rats.

Tip1:rats are very smart and can climb over stuff it's most likely that you get a very big cage or get cages and combine them to make a giant cage for your rat to explore.
Tip2:rats are very social so get 2 or more make sure they have lots of toys to play with or they might become depressed.
Tip3:NEVER LET YOUR RATS OUTSIDE! They are most likely to escape and might get killed by cats foxes or any other carnivore even with a cage rats can escape and are very fast. that's all the tips I have for now I hope you will be able to take care of a rat better soon. Also don't forget to make sure you change out the beding for the rats cage😊

Also for the rat safety he gave away the rat to a safer place with more rat friends
@@ChickenFryBlox for his first time, it was pretty decent compared to others. He gave it proper food, a maintained cage, and cared for it. Some would neglect it, not feed it required food, etc. He really cared for remy.
I can imagine how hard it is giving up on a pet that you love and always wanted
Edit: thx for 500 likes i did not except to have that many likes
one of the hardest things for me was letting my dogs brother go to another family because we cared for him so much but we just could not afford taking care of three dogs i still get to visit him when ever its a good time tough
@@aidenarredondo8321 I can relate
I know it must’ve been hard returning remy but hey! In time you will become more responsible and you can take care of many rats! Thank you for putting remy first and I hope you feel better soon
I'm so sorry for you I know it is hard to lose someone that feels like family
every day I'm more and more worried about Ben's mental health
me too 😭
@@ariasfave Same
real
I'm worried for his health and his mental health 💀 I'm worried for his health cuz rats can give infection and disease's
Edit: ik it is a domestic rat, this comment was for If Remy wasn't a domestic rat💀
Lol fr
Seeing someone as funny,happy, and energetic most of the time like ben cry makes me want to cry aswell
dude the pain in bens voice at the end broke me like im glad he knew he couldnt take care of remy but i felt so bad. ive never seen him cry and i hope he can get some pet soon!
Not trying to be “that person”, but rats NEED another rat, they are social creatures,and are often in groups. They also NEED hammocks,and resting areas.the mulch might also be hard on their feet and give them splinters,rat feet are fragile. ^^
Ben’s chaotic energy is literally introverts when they are alone

I feel so bad for Ben he was so happy at the beginning when he got him. Even tho it was just a rat Ben actually felt a concert between then and it's pretty obvious that he liked the rat And it was really difficult for him to let him go. I really hope you are doing okay Ben
Something to note:
Yes, wild rats do carry diseases, but any well cared pet (including pet rats) will most of the time be disease-free. So yeah, give them the hugs, kisses, and scratches they definitely deserve.
9:59 I mean, you’ve made it home for half of the kids on the Internet. They may not be able to express it as well but they feel like your child. They feel like if something’s not going right and they can’t talk to anybody they can go to you make them feel safe and loved like your a home with warmth and love they feel welcomed you’re a lovely person Ben you practically raised your fans you made a home here
dude I don't know whether to feel horrible for you or laugh hysterically 😭💀
Honestly I have never seen Ben this sad we hope you feel better Ben ❤
Frrrrr thoo
Bro got me so emotional 😭
frr hes usually all chaotic, a whole mood, energetic but this just upset me, he did it for the good atleast
Those are his balls. All rodent males have huge balls, usually as big as their heads. I had a pet rat named Blondie, she was as smart as any dog, loved us all. They are one of the few rodents who have attachments to their human, love to be tickled, even come when you call them. But their pee smells horrible, their bedding etc is the most important thing to them. Feathering their nest and finding stuff (like clothes) to break down into fluff to pad their nest is important to them. The 'rats nest' so to speak, what they truly love. Mine would watch the curtains blow near her cage, she would constantly try to grab it. She had a 3 story pen, which was on its own shelf. Once she got use to us, I left the top of cage open and she would climb up and out and sit at the end of that shelf to watch her "Fam." One time she slipped and fell off and I didn't know it, she saw me and climbed on my shoeless foot to see "Ma" me... I didn't know it was her, and flew her in the air. She forgave me. She did get those curtains one time, and was heading to her nest with them in her mouth. I said "Drop it!" And she did! They eat anything, will even eat wet or dry cat food, but not good to give them meat. Makes them stink more. Seeds, all sorts of foods they will grab from your hand. They are truly remarkable, smart, will love you till the day they die. Which unfortunately is only 3 or so years. Blondie lived 4 years, they get tumors all the time which have to be removed by understanding Vet. The last huge one was a mess, and she had to be put to sleep because of it. Otherwise, she was truly a beautiful souled 'dog rat' and a learning experience. "Rumors of a maligned creature are not true. They have a beautiful soul, and will love you till the day they die."
I’m so sorry that you lost remy, you were a good owner and done better than I ever could. I’ve been watching you since 2020 and have laughed at every video you made, RIP remy or wherever you are❤
Poor Ben he looks so sad and hurt, he deserves better....Remy will always remember you..
Edit: Thx for 140 likes
Yeah...

Shhhhh I’m trying to be sneaky ur about to blow my cover
@Hi I’m rat I live in a mess ohhh right sorry 🤐🫡

6:20 IM CRYING
10:14 i cried watching videos of cute rats the tears these rats cause lmao
9:02 IM CRYINGG😭😭😭😭
He made the right choice, it’s hard a lot of the time and I’m so selfish I’d never let him go, you did what’s best for remy and that’s more than some of us can image, I can’t describe how much I love that you did what you thought was right even if it meant you’d be sad ❤
yeah i am selfish I would probably won't let him go too
Tough decision but you did the right thing. Like all the other posters are saying, simply make sure you get at least a pair, and just set up the right amount of space for 'em. U clearly are a loving rat person, and they'll pick up on it right away. Don't give up. A few good rats deserve a loving home!
I don’t think the cage was busy enough. Rats like a VERY CROWDED home, to hide things, store things, etc. -rat owner of 6 yesrs
I'm sorry it didn't work out Ben, I understand how much it hurts, but it was very responsible of you to return Remy. I'm proud of you man.
Aw, Ben... I know that it must have been really hard, especially growing an attachment to him. I'm sure, one day, you will find the courage and take that leap of faith to try again when you feel that you have improved whatever it was that you feel you were lacking, and not only take care of a rat, but give it love, a home, and loads of cuddles. ❤
You should've done your research about pet rats. They are social, curious animals that need a lot of special care. Pet rats are also very clean and gentle animals, you could've absolutely pick him up bare handed and cuddle him.
I'm glad you made the responsible decision to return him home, you can tell he was stressed in your cage because he cowered into a small corner scared. I can tell your love for Remi was genuine, so here is a tip for the future: do your research about pet rats and watch videos about them, when you understand more about them than get two or three pet rats.
i literally cried at the end seeing ben sad is just heartbreaking
I actually feel bad for Ben, the pain in his voice at the end though.
It was a joke I’m pretty sure
@@Chitrangada_21 it was not dummy he was crying
bc he loved and cared for remmy not for a joke
I get that feeling dude. You will be okay and I’m sure your a responsible guy. If you want another pet just prepare a whole lot with a lot of research. Animals can be great additions to your life
WHEN YOU STARTED CRYING, I STARTED CRYING😭😭😭
SAME
“If you don’t agree I say eat my.. rat ass” wise words from Ben 😌
He isn’t just a rat, we will always remember him❤❤❤❤🐀🐀🐀🐀
Aww Ben, not everyone starts of responsible of raising an animal or a child, I was heart broken when my dog killed my baby chicken who I bonded well with, but I've learnt from my mistakes and I know I can take care of another one better in the future. I hope one day you can get your Remy back and feel better about yourself in raising a rat ❤
Aw, I feel bad for you, I need to say I almost love my dog more then my family... I know how it is-
How did it happen?
@@ItzEvelyn2 I left my chick outside with her sisters while I went in for lunch- the place we keep them was barricaded from my dog- but I guess he got too tempted and broke the barricade somehow and killed her [the other two survived- he probably didn't see them because they were smaller]. I was so sad, but this was a few years ago so I'm alright now😅😅
2:55 I have this exact chew toy for my hamster! Sad thing is, he died just last weekend :(
Sorry for your loss
Ben its okay to make mistakes! When i first became a hamster owner i made tons of mistakes like introducing her to my dig but those are things that happen! It was your first time taking care of something and you cant just be great at it instantly, you have to do research and learn simultaneously.
