One pet is the king of all pets...the pet ROCK.
They make great pets. they are very easy to potty train.
I grew up on a South African farm, we had a few Meerkat families living on the farm, the home family was only about 20 meters from the back door, They would come right up to the back door and helped themselves to the dog bicuits we left out for the Boerboel and BullMastiff dogs would always be on the back of my dad's pickup truck just for incase my dad was going to jump in and leave them behind. The baby Meerkats (very small, they kind of look like tiny rats or mice) would come into the kitchen and take up residence behind the old wood stove we had in the back kitchen. The mothers would come back after a day of foraging or a battle/war they had on with other colonies/families of meerkats who all wanted the best spot, close to the back door for food and milk. So they became very tamed and ruled over all the Cats and Dogs (They are a lot smarter than Dogs or Kats) What made them the Generals of the Household animal army was that they were in a cahoots with the other smarter "thing" Crows. That was a combination that no Dog, Kat or even my younger brother could outsmart. The Crow would keep a lookout while the Meerkats ransacked the Kitchen, and because they always wanted to carry off more than they could carry, they left a breadcrumb trail for the Crow to vacuum up.
cute ending to a well described community at your home. Thank you for sharing these fine words for us, they are enlightening.
I’ll stick with dogs , these little exotic creatures shall remain in their natural habitat in the wild, as they were intended to be.
Thank you
Most of these were breed so you could buy them captive breeding exists so enjoy some exotic pets 😁
80% are on the danger list especially the Aussie sugar flyers. Leave nature to nature and gimme a golden retriever dog 😊
@@janegilmore102 ooh I love Golden Retrievers they are so intelligent and loyal dogs😁
@@janegilmore102 but captive breeding doesn't effect the wild 🤨 just trust who breeds it and make sure they didn't take the animal from the wild 🦩🐧🦜🐒🦥🐿️🦔🦇🦞
Just to clarify--a small tank is not appropriate for an axolotl (yes, I own one). The axolotl is a high-bioload pet who requires a *minimum* tank size of twenty gallons for one.
As a proud owner of my 3 year old common snapper who started in a 75 gal tank, 2nd tank was 180 gal fiberglass tank 5ft long & currently lives in a 400 gallon 8ft long tank. 20gals is a very small tank 😂
Jokes aside, the actual recommendation for a single adult Axolotl is the Largest Small tank & the Smallest Medium tank.
15gal long - Largest Small tank
20gal long - Smallest Medium tank
Multiple sites & breeders agree.
Thanks for sharing that information, not that I was thinking of getting one but it is really helpful to know
Axolotls also require cool water/unheated aquariums (mid 60s to low 70s). People living in warmer climates often use “aquarium water coolers” to maintain optimal temps. They are the larval/“tadpole” phase of the Tiger Salamander. Herpetologists speculate that pollutants in the air or on the land of their native habitat may cause them to halt their metamorphosis into their completely terrestrial adult form. They are sensitive to water perimeters (ph, temp, etc) and should only be housed with other similarly-sized axolotls. Aggressive fish or aquatic turtles can damage their delicate, external gills which often proves fatal. They are shy animals and enjoy a well planted aquarium with a cave large enough to hide in.
If you have a sugar glider your breaking Australian laws. If your shipping and selling them your breaking Australian law. They are on the endangered list.
Just because you "can" own them as pets doesn't mean you should. There are so few "rare" shelters for these animals after people realize they don't make the best pets.
The exotic pet trade has been booming and results in so many of these beautiful animals suffering and dying, and huge numbers of them reduced in the wild. I'm really shocked it's being encouraged on here. Many people get these animals and they end up suffering and dying as well because the owner hasn't done enough research or simply doesnt provide it. I'll never understand people who get animals like baby monkeys, lemurs and any primate. Imagine what the trauma poor baby's mother went through having her baby taken, as well as the baby. My heart breaks for them both. A baby primate's best parent would be the mother that gave birth to her, not someone wanting to put it in diapers and dlothes for social media. These animals are very social and thrive and are always happiest with their own kind. I would love to have several of these animals listed too, but because I care for them so much I want them in the wild where they are free, thrive and have access to proper food and environment.
That said, anyone who does have reptiles and various exotics who has done their research, providing adequate space and proper care is at least better. I've seen some that look happy, yet ownership applies to only a few species. That said, a python, iguana, cuckatoo or any other exotic's preferred habitat is not your couch, cage or house. If you have done your research, or have common sense you already know that.
I've seen so many animals on vet shows miserable and/or dying because the owner has no clue what they're doing, even simple but vital things like temperatures, proper diet and basic sunshine. Like a 6 month old baby monkey the owner refused to keep quarantined until she built immunity. She didn't let others touch her, but had her among people like a side show. Being a primate she got herpes from someone, and this little baby suffered terribly unable to eat with sores in her mouth, swollen eyes, and uncontrollable shaking for weeks until she was euthanized. People really should just leave them where they belong in their natural habitats and leave them be.
I agree. The monkey trade just makes me furious.
I just said the exact same thing. Channels really shouldn't be promoting their ownership. People with a genuine interest and the required dedication to care for them will seek them out themselves.
@Littlewildone0 It's outright disgusting and I have no idea why many of these animals are allowed to be owned. Seriously people, go to a shelter and get one of the millions of animals who really DO need a home.
No pet can beat my dog! She watches the kids. Protects our home. Is up for playing anytime. Is very conscious of being clean. And more!
What type of dog is she
@@TEAM-ev9xt
The BEST type-a total unpretentious mutt! She just made her 17th birthday and is slowing down but at heart she’s still a puppy. We love her as much as any member of the family!
Border collie
But when you open the door it suddenly isn't loyal anymore
@@cardboard_is_not_edible
Wanna bet?
So many of these animals should never be kept as pets! It's a terrible industry!
Scale busting cuteness factor though!
This needs to be clearer about chinchilla temperature requirements. They don't tolerate temps above 75F/21C. You might want a generator for your air conditioner, just in case.
They don't like temps below 60F/15.5C, either.
I'm seeing a little disagreement online, but only by a few degrees.
I'll add one to the list: the tegu, an affectionate lizard, described as having a temperament like an old dog.
Tegus can be nice pets but they are high maintenance and most people don't have room for a 4+ foot long lizard.
Tegus are now illegal to own in Florida. They’ve become yet another invasive species because of irresponsible pet owners in the state!
I'm good with my doggie 😊 we both sot and watch our cows and he helps me dig holes in my garden for flowers and veggies ❤
No… not my next pet. Whenever I get an animal, other than a dog and a cat, I have to do research. I have to learn as much as I can learn. Not only feeding and care, but diseases as well. If I get sick, you need to recognize that poor is getting sick. There’s so much more do you have a movie exotic pet. When I decided to have chickens, it took months before I got my first chick. I had to build the proper enclosure, a pin, where they would be safe from predators. Learn about nutrition, and the different stages of growth. Yes, I was very successful, and I learned a lot that was not in Books and other learn from other people. The problem is you have to know what questions to ask.
Well said. Also, many areas have no vets available that deal with exotic pets.
I had a pet squirrel once. He was litter boxed trained. His name was Chipper.
Got my self a cute little sling.
you cant say the spider is non venomous and then say if it bites you it releases a mild venom
This video is so dumb haha
Why is this video giving all kinds of bad info... I have had and raised more then half thus list in my 50 years of life and all this info is bad.. I don't understand how hard doing research is to get and share the proper care for all this beautiful critters
"They're marsupials...without the pouch!" Uh...wut??! Considering that pouches (in the females) are what DEFINES the group, what a luducrous statement😂😂😂. Its like saying "They're a mammal...without the milk!" or "They're a bird...without the eggs!"
Tell me you know nothing about taxonomy without telling me you know nothing about taxonomy. The pouch does NOT define them.
@@lolocaust4967
I googled….. seems the pouch does define them (pouch or skin flap)
Please share the source where it shows the pouch does NOT define them?
I looked for it. Could not find it.
And this is how pythons are found in the Everglades.
Online “virtual pets” can teach kids the responsibility of owning a real pet. You neglect them, they die... game over!
Pretty sure that's what goldfish are for
Not Neopets. They just go on living for 20+ years with bright red text underneath their picture that reads: “dying!” 🤔
@@cardboard_is_not_edibleWhy would you want to kill fish when a virtual pet is enough responsibility for a child… If you can’t take care of a pet properly, you shouldn’t have one. Even fish.
That cat looking at those sugar gliders and wondering if they are sweet as their names suggests
They aren’t,they smell horrible and bite,as well as piss and shit EVERYWHERE!
😂
Sweet and sour glider, mmmm
Ok now the Fennec Fox is just to cute!
awww so glad Big Ounce was featured as one of the prairie dogs!!
He's the go-to praire dog of the internet.
@@DebNKY hahah he really is. What's poor uncle Ben going to do when Big Ounce actually dies though? It's going to be the saddest thing ever.
@TanyaQueen182 oh, I can't even think of that now. I just wait for his next "yahoo!"
@@TanyaQueen182he has passed 😢💔
@@mariahgrimes207 I know!! I cried over it. A freaking prairie dog I never met and I mourned for him. So sweet. I miss his YAHOOO
When I was a child my dad surprised me with a fox cub the mother had been shot by a farmer. She had litter of seven and so my dad’s workmates took them home. She was the most loving pet I’ve ever had they are a bit like having a dog and a cat in one body. She could come and go anytime but she stayed with us. The only time she disappeared we found out that she followed mum to the bingo and sat on the steps waiting for her then walked her home lol she was so precious x
It amazes me what some people think are pets.
Why did you use the weird color filter for the ball pythons? They come in thousands of amazing morphs, they don't need fake neon photoshop.
...tarantulas are not venomous but they do emit a mildly toxic venom....😂😂🤣😅🤤
I laughed at that one. Almost all spiders are venomous. At least he didn't say poisonous.
I totally disagree with this about hermit crabs. Do NOT paint their shells! And most keepers do not provide proper husbandry. They are much harder to keep than most people think! Axolotls need cold water which can be difficult to maintain in a home environment, but sure are cute. Degus are chewers! I have kept them in the past. One of the snakes you showed when talking about ball pythons was a rainbow boa which is not a beginner snake! I adore my trantulas and adults do not need to be fed that often! Macaws are a handful indeed! Beardies need large enclosures are a poop machines. Leopard geckos are much easier to keep than beardies. Leos need at least a twenty gallon. Very few people catch food poisoning from reptile pets NO monkeys do not make good pets for almost anyone. I only know one marmoset that is being taken properly cared for.
They sell “aquarium water coolers” for axolotl keepers.
My favorite animal that I would have as a pet in this video is the sugar glider
Fennecs live about 4 years in the wild..they can live 12 to 13 years in captivity if fed right and given the right environment..
Thank you for sharing the video
It really sickens me that people take in these exotic animals and then when they get tired of them, they let them loose. All you have to do is look at Florida in the python’s situation exotic animals need to be in their natural habitat. Most humans are not responsible enough to take care of them.
Sadly, I’ve found that most humans are not responsible enough to take care of ANY animal… Look no further for evidence than one of the most horrific invasive species crises in history: Australia’s feral cat population, which threatens dozens of native species with extinction. There are no native felines in Australia. The animals there are not equipped to contend with a predator as versatile, relentless, and efficient as the domestic cat. Quite frankly, bringing them into the country was a terrible idea. Still, no one questioned it… because they’re /domestic/ cats. Believe me, the level of destruction Australia is facing because of invasive cats is far worse than what Florida is facing with pythons…
So the question is… how was it any more morally or ethically sound for people in Australia to keep domestic cats than for people in the U.S. to keep pythons? Should we only allow native species as pets? Should we require that all pets be contained by fences, tethers, cages, etc.? I don’t have an answer to that. I just know that calling out exotic pets as destructive or dangerous, while ignoring equal or greater threats posed by common, domesticated pets is a double standard-one that often makes people overlook their responsibility to keep ANY pet from becoming a menace to others, or to the environment as a whole.
Big Ounce Fan club check in!!
Ilove big ounce ❤❤❤
My brother and I have a bearded dragons. My mom even has a rainbow Lorikeet
I love the Sloth. Its so cute and sweet. Out of all these creatures, we had the Chinchillas and the centipede as pets, when kids.
So cool!
❤ the chinchillas are so cute!
big ounce represent!
Anyone who thinks they "NEED" something "exotic" just so they can say they have an exotic pet--actually needs THERAPY for their narcissism.
When I was a kid I thought the "seamonkeys" advertised would grow up to look like awesome Axolotls. Boy was I disappointed lol they were basically just brine shrimp eggs 🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐
That's a funny story! The magic of marketing, right? Sea monkeys sure did sound more exciting than what they turned out to be. Axolotls are indeed fascinating creatures. Thanks for sharing your childhood memory with us!
Big Ounce cameo! 🤘🏼
I had a salamander once. She was very easy to talk to.
I knew a salamander who practiced alternative psychiatry, he held sessions in the newt!
_Ba Dum-Tissssssssssssssssssssssss!!_
I love the video, all the animals are so adorable. The only thing is there are people that can't even raise a child let alone a pet! They think it is cute and get one and the pet suffers for life. Kinda like most kids these days. :(
He didn't mention Marmosets are susceptible to diabetes if not fed properly.
To me fennec foxes look like cats with huge ears.
Stay out of the exotic pet trade. Yes they are cute but you should look into how the dealers get these pets it’s very traumatic be it pet stores or independent. Very disappointed in this UA-cam channel for promoting this.
Thx for telling but I don’t know if I trust 🤔.
Amen! Please read my comment.
@@Itzgrayyshe is right! I also commented on this video and hit on other reasons to stay away.
@@TessA-es3if ok thx for telling 😃
Absolutely! Leave these poor animals where they belong-what’s next a dolphin?
Meerkats sure are adorable and amazing to be around
They’re wild animals.
thank you! Glad someone on here has the voice of reason - There really shouldn't be any videos promoting exotic pets (wild animals) in the first place! Just encouraging bad practice. @@silvermainecoons3269
Hermit crabs kill each other and cannot be housed together…
Do not get a Slow Lorise. They literally rip the the teeth out of them when they are babys.
Cuteness overload!
I love animals and I've seen some of these as people's pets. I would say, good for them, I hoped they read and kept up on what not to do and what to do with these animals. Bearded Dragons are probably the easiest to maintain, as I have plenty of family members who have some and recently my dad made some huge enclosures for my aunt for her babies. The other ones are quite exotic, but are cute.
Leave exotic animals where they belong, in the wild. Its one thing to save an injured, near death animal that cannot return to the while but these animals belong wild and with their own kind.
NO WILD ANIMAL SHOULD BE A PET!
Do you own a cat, dog or fish?
I love meerkats. My desktop photo is a mum and 2 babies and I have plenty of ornaments of them and my other favourite, ducks. I had a Jack Russell cross female but she started taking fits and I had her put down. She's been gone 2 years and I still miss her.
Wasn’t expecting to ACTUALLY see the legendary Big Ounce in this video, but I was pleasantly surprised!
I love my Tarantulas. My kids love to be held. Also, they can but don't like to bite. Nobody has ever been recorded as dying from a Tarantula bite.
I want a chinchilla!❤️😊
What about capybaras?!? This list is invalid without Gort & Quandale. ✌🏼
They get really big...
Cappy-blappies love wabdamelon!
Chins are cute, but they live a long time and require a long commitment.
That’s kind of what appealed to me… I like small pets, but a lifespan of 2-5 years would just break my heart. 🥺 Hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice… all way too sad to lose after such a short time. I think those are all great pets, but I don’t know how owners can stand losing them over and over… 😔
Forget Degus not using the wheel at night because they are active at night. Our Degus were rapidly kicked out of our daughter's room and moved to the living room because of the racket they made on the wheel overnight.
I think that they were all adorable. But I will stay with my cat. Please do your research before getting an exotic pet. They all have to have the right diet, enclosure, and temperature to be happy.
only not the right to freedom ?
pah
Growing up, I often helped my dad take care of Oscar, his pet tarantula.
I’m okay with spiders, but some do give me the willies. Oscar was a cool pet. He liked getting brushed with his small toothbrush, and getting to race around on the dining room table in the evenings. He didn’t mind me stroking him ether. He had such a soft coat.
Awww, what a sweetie! I love tarantulas-I could never figure out why some people find them spooky. They’re fluffy! 🤣 Do you know what species Oscar was?
@@wraith1320 He was a Singapore Blue. Dark brown body, black legs. One leg was white. He had a white spot on his back.
@@QueenSunstar Oh, those are stunning! Having one that was so interactive must have been awesome! 👍
I am officially now a fan of prairie dogs. lol Who knew they were so smart, sweet, and loveable?!
Chinchilla it's almost like Pikachu
Not even Tucker Carlson could cram this much harmful and demonstrably false information in a 20 minute video.
Tell me you’re a liberal without telling me you’re a liberal.
Those millipedes are beautiful. I never would've thought of having that as a pet!
Some millipedes can produce cyanide as a deterrent to predators. People who own them are advised to wash their hands thoroughly after handling their pets.
Don't encourage people to have wild animals as pets
THIS IS CALLED TRAFFICKING!!!!
And it's illegal and we discourage it
How are you discouraging it by saying you can "own these as pets"??
I thought only one was there from thumbnail
UNCLE BEN!!!!!
I've never seen a blue Ball Python. I'd there some lights on it to make it blue?
I always wanted a meerkat. The problem is they do poorly outside of the group.
You can't beat them for cuteness!
These are wild animals! Leave them the f**k alone!!!!!
Dogs mans best friend!
The millipede is adorable?!?!?! Lol definitely not
i think all this animals belong in the wild where they really live not for the amusement of humans!! god bless you all
Im fukin scared of chinchillas idk y , i have two scorpions
you can add Otters too and Owls
These are to cute
if give the axalottle iodine they transform apprently.
The millipede is out of the question I hate centipedes anything with that many legs😮
RIP Big Ounce
All of them were cite but a MILLIIPEDE I would not wamt asa prt
15:44 Marmoset monkey 🐒
Habit of feeding on nectar.
That purple snake was awesome
For the record ,Orange snake in the ball python section is actually a Brazilian Rainbow Boa , literally not same species or care for that matter . Axolotls never become adults they stay in infancy for life. How can be triggered in life by stress and actually grow into a salamander.
4:06-4:10 The Urban Rescue Ranch. That's Uncle Farmer Dad Ben with his Prarie Dog named Big Ounce.
I have had a chinchilla and prairie dogs. Prairie dogs are very emotionally needy. My Bam Bam wanted to be free running the house job stop and snuggle constantly. You can not leave unsupervised as you will have many thing chewed up. You also have to be weary of what they chew as it will damage their teeth and require surgery.
Again Tarantulas are all venomous to some degree
Did I see a hedgehog with a mushroom 🍄 between its spikes?
I'm not sure if this counts. I have a road-runner that hops through the front door in the morning. Click-click-click. Just nosey wanting water I think.?
At 10:45 it isn´t a ball python, it is a brazilian rainbow boa.
sugar gliders all the way
Clickbait but too cute...
Bro showed big ounce from the urban rescue ranch
For busy people a desert or arid tarantula species is really perfect. They can go weeks or even months without eating (I've heard stories of 2 years between meals). And no need to maintain humidity. You can take business trips and they wouldn't miss a thing.
Awww
The narrator is mistaken, ALL tarantulas possess venom to subdue prey. It’s true the majority of tarantulas sold as pets don’t have dangerous bites (unless one is allergic to bee/wasp stings.) There are a few kept as pets by advanced hobbyists whose venom is thought to be medically significant but -with only a couple exceptions most of these species aren’t aggressive towards humans. Old World tarantula species do have the ability to send a cloud of sharp hair flying at their aggressor by rubbing their back legs together. Individual hairs are barbed and very irritating to eyes & nose/respiratory tract.
@@davidvento5481 Correct, all tarantulas are venomous. It's how they eat.
Any tarantulas that can kick hairs only come from the New World (Western hemisphere), and they would kick them off their butts (opistosoma) not their legs.
There are a few New World genera that do not possess urticating hairs so instead they have increased speed and venom potency to compensate just as all of their Old World cousins do.
There is a LOT of misinformation in this video! If you decide to get one of these animals, or ANY animal, please PLEASE do your research!! These are living beings and require special care. The number of animals in this video that end up dumped because owners can't care for them properly or just got "bored" is astonishing.
You could adopt one of these animals from an animal shelter you know
Please stop pushing the exotic animal trade.
anyone else think videos like this sow the seeds for intentional or unintentional animal cruelty?
I would LOVE to have a Hedgehog, a Sloth, & Meercat, but I never will. You can keep the millipedes, snakes, spiders, etc!! I have come to believe that wild animals should be left in the wild. I have had birds from the parrot family in the past, but now I feel so guilty for keeping them caged!
Just so you know it's pronounced possum not opposum
