The ‘foreshadowing’ edit got me lmao. I seriously adore your editor. Other ideas for videos - *insert animal* yoga - a stage play with the cockroaches - ‘marbles on stream’ but it’s the zebra isopods racing - goats learn DDR (put treats on DDR dance pad so they step on the arrows?) - painting with animals, which I know you’ve done in the past I think - take stompy to the ocean
I love Toaster Strudel the Blue Tongued Skink and he loved his packing peanut pool. Not as hilariously as the Ferret but in his very sweet and quiet and blue tongued way. I also enjoyed the informed facts about using degradable pesticides because the other kind will harm Toaster and all his kind and exponentially harm other animals in the process.
Before Toast I didn't know skinks could be so chonky. We have Blue-TAILED skinks in California that are super skinny with bright blue tails instead of blue tongues. After learning about Toaster Strudel I see that they come in all different shapes and sizes and colors! Amazing! Animals are amazing and Maya is amazing for teaching us about them!
Oh dude they can get way chunkier. I have a bluetounge in my backyard that is absolutely chub (probably bc he keeps breaking in and eating our cat food lol)
if you want to see a really chonky skink you should look up the sleepy lizard/shingleback/stumpy tail/tiliqua rugosa. same genus as common bluetongues like Toast, but even wider and with really thick armoured scales! they're also very common all over Australia
lizards do love to explore their surroundings, its why changing their stuff around in the enclosure is good to get them exploring and smelling 'new' stuff. also so envious of such a chill bluey, my boy would never sit still for as long as Toast did on your arm in the beginning ahaha. Toast would give great cuddles for sure!
Nothern Blue Tongue Skinks are fantastic pets, super easy going and really easy to take care of. Mine is named Haku and he loves boiled eggs and wet dog food
Elaborating - seeing how the animals react to the diets of one another (obviously don't compare toxic foods if one animal can't eat them) but like, goats diet reacts to the beetles diet and vice versa etc.
Ideas: - make the packing peanuts a series. I think the chins, the rats, and snakes would also like it - music for the animals. I’ve seen people play instruments for farm animals and they enjoyed it. Of course it’s possible that none would like it, but I think it would be so cute to see if any of the animals besides the parrots react to or like music - animals playing limbo (bribed/paid with treatos of course). So. Cute. Enough said. Another idea where it’d be funny with a lot of the animals. - a obstacle course for stompy , winnie, ace, and maybe donks if they’re not afraid of it. You can use the ones meant for horses or use that as inspiration and make your own. You can go as simple or as elaborate as you want and add as many or as few elements as you want. I think it would be good enrichment and very entertaining. Could also be done for chickens using one meant for dogs
Idk if this has been done yet, but maybe a modified ball pit for the rats, ferrets, and anyone else who might enjoy it - the ball pit would consist of (maybe) normal ball pit balls and/or peanut packaging, PLUS little easter eggs with treats for them to forage, find, and figure out how to pop open
god i'm so glad to be watching toast to the sweet soft sounds of undertale 🥺the most adorable thing ever. for a video idea, can you discuss the other animals at alveus that are not property of it? like native birds, cold-blooded animals, bugs and stuff
I have had Blue Tongue Lizards living in my yard for last 20 years or so, in Sydney, Australia. Only see them once in a while, but see them every year a few times. Also see juvenile ones, one of my cats brought one into our bedroom!.
You should check out Maya’s streams on twitch. She does keeping streams pretty much every week where she goes around and takes care of the animals and does chores. So you can see what she does in a day in real time. She even has chat keeping streams where chat gets to vote and choose the enrichment for the animals. It’s such a good time, I highly recommend.
I never knew you from streaming really, but have found these videos about your sanctuary on YT and have since fallen in love with what you do for these animals. Please keep doing this.
Not sure if it's a good one, but I had this idea that you could do like a diy recreation of movie sets that have animals in them and then put an ambassador in the set and try to kinda recreate a scene from the movie. For example you could get a play kitchen with utensils and stuff, make chef hats out of some fabric or something and do Ratatouille with one of the rats. Or Shrek with one of the donkeys, or the Robin Hood movie with the foxes. I feel like Maya likes being crafty and it would be fun to see her make like a scuffed recreation of movie settings, and the ambassadors' reaction to the new things would be interesting too. Anyways, thanks for the great content, these vids always puts a smile on my face. :)
love these vids!!! seeing the animals interact with enrichment and seeing them happy always warms my heart. I'd love to see stompy go at a rubber ball lol
i think these are genuinely brilliant videos bcus it gives better idea on what animal enrichment can be. simple crafts that make huge difference for the animals
Skinks are the cuddliest lizards I've ever met. The only things that's come close in my experience is a giant tortoise named Boxer. His problem was he liked laps. You can't like laps when you weigh hundreds of pounds and are 112 percent shell. But he figured out people wouldn't move if he just leaned against them or rested a paw... They are paws right? Dude what are tortoise feet called? To the Google machine! Update: the Google machine is sending mixed messages. Paw or foot, doesn't seem to matter.
I think its so heartwarming that Humans are such social animals that we can pack bond with literally almost anything. Spiders, snakes, crocodiles, snails and fucking CLOUDS.
Toast is so cute. I miss you going to supermarkets to buy things as those bits were really funny. The Maya Has Fun For Once series is really really fun and relaxing nonetheless
It's crazy that I still get stuff packed with bubble wrap or those bigger plastic air packets when things like packing peanuts and that cardboard stuff that is cut so that it pops out exists. Hell, recently I got a pot wrapped in bubble wrap that was broken on arrival and its replacement, wrapped in the cardboard stuff, arrived unscathed, so sometimes it's even better than the plastic options.
i moved from the boonies to the city a few years ago and we brought our cat with us. at our old house, she loved catching mice and what have you so naturally after we moved she did the same thing. she died after about a month or two and it turned out someone in the neighbourhood used rat poison to control vermin in the area and our cat got sick as a result.
It's actually other way around! Many skinks and other lizards have tiny legs because they spend most of their time in small burrows. Snakes went even further and lost limbs completely
This is my favorite toaster bath
Lol, wanted to say the same but figured there was no way no one else had already said the same 😂
I hope toaster knows i would kill to see him take a packing peanut bath irl.
lizzers are so cool, i love em
I call a lizard et al “Long Roscoe”
I call a frog or toad “Roscoe”

Other ideas for videos

- goats learn DDR (put treats on DDR dance pad so they step on the arrows?)
- painting with animals, which I know you’ve done in the past I think

the marbles on stream one made me audibly chuckle that's such a good idea
I'm all for goats learning DDR 😂
wouldn't stompy be perfect for ddr?

letting him know

Without siblings eating tales everything is fine

After learning about Toaster Strudel I see that they come in all different shapes and sizes and colors! Amazing! Animals are amazing and Maya is amazing for teaching us about them!

Oh dude they can get way chunkier. I have a bluetounge in my backyard that is absolutely chub (probably bc he keeps breaking in and eating our cat food lol)
@@somrone9236 garden blue tongues are different chonk I think
My favorite is the red-eyed crocodile skink. It looks like a baby dragon and I gasped the first time I saw one.

I always have fun when Maya has fun for once ❤️❤️
Whoever is doing the editing- loving it. The shoelace speed run with the Summoning Salt music was amazing. 😂
The Goats may not be physically lost, but they are emotionally lost. Same, goat bros, same.
"Leave me alone, I'm not a ferret. I have low blood pressure. And this is just packing peanuts."
My blue-tongued skink passed away this year at 24 years old, so it was nice to see Toast having fun.
Toast is the cutest lizard I've every seen! Every video with the animals is a great video!
Yes maya im always having fun with these videos, please never stop doing silly things with animals
Yes, they are stupid. Yes, I am having fun.
Nothern Blue Tongue Skinks are fantastic pets, super easy going and really easy to take care of. Mine is named Haku and he loves boiled eggs and wet dog food
I have a Indonesian blue tongue skink named Ltn Dan he's a handsome man that loves his wet dog food
My toast sweatshirt came in yesterday and I swear it’s the comfiest thing ever
i love these types of videos so much they brighten my day alot (:
It's really cute seeing Toast get just cradled by Maya.
video ideas:
1) picnic with some of the ambassadors
2) making fun treats for all the animals and seeing how they react
love the video by the way ❤
Elaborating - seeing how the animals react to the diets of one another (obviously don't compare toxic foods if one animal can't eat them) but like, goats diet reacts to the beetles diet and vice versa etc.
Flip is unflappable. Great edits and fun chapter headings as always. Hope this means everyone (kinda) gets the holidays off (kinda) :D
I need Toast to drop his skincare routine. Glass goals.
Maya saying they should have named toast push pop is so crazy now that they have push pop the tortoise lmao
I like these videos yes. Maya does silly stuff around Alveus with the cute animals is a video concept that never goes out of style.
This was so peaceful and relaxing. I'd love to see more of Toaster Strudel! Suuuuch good like... ASMR and relaxing vibes. so nice.
“Alright step one, I need to find a vessel”

3:48 to be fair. He’s like a blueberry toaster strudel. Toasty on the outside blue on the inside ☺️

I am trying to sleep and the immediate reaction I have to this song from Undertale immediately made me feel warm and cozy

I'm always looking forward to your videos since I've not seen anything like this on youtube. The bats one is my favourite though
Awwww Toast is wonderful 🥺
Maya has fun for once is my favourite videos. i look forward to every single one
_Toast_ is sort of like a ferret, only MUCH, MUCH SLOWER. 😊
it was so nice to see toast having a nice time :) good for that guy. these videos make me so happy.
These videos are so nice to watch! Maya does a wonderful job explaining and hookinh you into the content, and the camerman is very very skilled!
Fellow doodle pfp, 😈
@@ARR0W0FSPAD3S oh yea 💯
Seriously, these are my favorite videos on your channel
Only time a toaster in a pool is a good combination
Please never stop making these vids Maya, they make my day ❤
We need some more Maya speed runs. 😊
Toast embodies peace and quiet. I like that.

I enjoy the format of you providing enrichment for something while also providing information about it.
When I was studying abroad in Australia, I went on a walk n saw a wild Toaster scurry into some foliage. Was very cool to see.
I never knew you from streaming really, but have found these videos about your sanctuary on YT and have since fallen in love with what you do for these animals. Please keep doing this.
the speedrun edit was so perfectly done. s/o to the editor (DannyDV)
And the SummoningSalt music was such an amazing touch
YES WE LOVE THESE VIDEOS, they're so fun to watch all at once
I love seeing the animals get some enrichment watching toast enjoy his packing peanut pool is the best

0:48 i love these videos sm especially the doat ones (i love them all but the doats are my favorites) and i always have fun 🥰
Please more goat videos. Their little noises are the oxygen that keeps me going.
i love these videos so much they fill a jenna marbles shaped hole in my heart
i loved this, the pace is not a problem at all, i could watch this cutie burrowed under his packing peanuts for way longer lol
I love the fact that skinks always look slightly disappointed in life
them being a lil absurd is what makes them some of my fav vids
i think these are genuinely brilliant videos bcus it gives better idea on what animal enrichment can be. simple crafts that make huge difference for the animals

Ngl, Toast may be my new favorite animal here. He beat out Stompy, Finn, Winnie the Moo, and the horses. Keep up the excellent work, you rock Maya.
i'm sure Toast dreams of a tiny cowboy hat

I think its so heartwarming that Humans are such social animals that we can pack bond with literally almost anything. Spiders, snakes, crocodiles, snails and fucking CLOUDS.
These videos are the best theyre not stupid please keep making them they're my favourite
Love Toast. Love new activities of emrichment for all!
I love these videos, they help me cope with the fact that I will never be able to pet big TS or Georgie. I just love lil scaly and slimy guys ❤
"Do you like these videos, or do you think they're stupid." Maya, those are not mutually exclusive thoughts. But I do genuinely enjoy your content

LMAO that Summoning Salt speedrun edit at 2:46 made me spit out me water. Props to the editor! Funny shit.
Yes, I am having fun!
the sequel we deserved.
7:00 E-day...when the locus horde came to the surface...
these videos always make me happy, please keep making them if you want to
Toast is literally the cutest little thing ever
these channels leaves me with the hope for humanity
set up lil classroom dioramas and invite all the bugs at once and teach them an affirmation song about how important they are
Thanks for spreading knowledge! I was just about to buy gopher poison, didn’t think about how it would effect the other life in the environment!

Got a few of these guys in my backyard here in QLD, Australia. Lovely placid lizards

Reptiles are so awesome! Toast is a champion!
Yes Maya I am having a lot of fun please keep making these
Not the summoning salt crossover hahahaha
These videos are definitely fun, not stupid at all. Please continue ❤
I like these videos. They are fun and different.
The peanuts don't taste as well because they do now have a hint of ferrets now.
