Leopard print is * NOT* my jam

The more I learn, the more appalled at how my family kept pets when I was a kid.

I always appreciate how insightful your criticism is and how respectful you are towards pet owners ! great video x

For all the (future) hamster owners. You can also look around at secondhand stores (or online etc.) for a big aquarium that is (for example) leaking. Those are usually pretty cheap since they can't really be used for fish anymore. They work like the IKEA detolf. You can put in so much more bedding for digging around and making tunnels. In the Netherlands we call it hamsterscaping. It basically means creating a ''natural'' enviroment with (dried) plants, wooden elemenets, lots of (different) bedding etc. It looks amazing in your home and is great for hamsters!

people who say "my cage is like that and my pets are still alive so there nothing wrong there" don't realize that it's about quality not survivability like i can stuff them in a prison cell and give them food and water and they'd not die right?

Dakota Evans here, I've actually removed that lovely leopard print hammock since that picture also😂 My girl never EVER used it. Love the video! You're awesome Em❤️

I would love for this to be a miniseries!!

the owner of the brazilian rainbow boa is so creative! “caipora” is the name of an old brazilian folk tale about a small native american man who is the protector of animals and forests and he’s often depicted with the colors of the brazilian rainbow boa in that picture: orange and brown.

The first hamster enclosure actually looks like a Prevue 725 (?) which is highly recommended for hamsters, Munchie’s Place always suggests it and it’s bigger than it looks in the photo. Of course bigger is always better but if that is thus enclosure it goes over the minimum

Thank you for featuring Odin and Sherbet as I’ve only had them for a month and they have settled in and are recalling to me inside. I would like to have a larger home for them but it’s not affordable for me right now. I also have plans to get more perches when the budget allows. I also feed them fresh food every day with ingredients such as peppers, carrots, spinach and much more.

Ahhhh! Thank you for featuring Gill! His name was inspired by the goldfish on the movie “What About Bob” 😂 and we do plan on upgrading him to a 20 gallon soon!

Fabric hammocks are actually recommended for beardies as they have been known to catch their nails in the woven or mesh ones resulting in lost toenails or even broken bones.

Hey Em! Just so you know, male and female bettas CANNOT be housed together. You got everything else spot on 👌🏻

Ooh, do make this a series! Creature Crew can learn be inspired by each other.

I'm only on the Betta Fish section and as someone working in the aquatics industry, I really do not recommend housing a Male Betta with a Female as suggested by your wording. Females can be kept in sorority groups, but some Females do need to be kept singularly. Males should always be kept singularly except in the case of observed situations for breeding. Females can and will attack Males and Males can and will attack Females. Some people may have success with keeping Males with Females, but typically this is in significantly larger aquaria and I would not recommend it as there's a high risk of harm, which for me is questionable ethically.

I wish I hadn't been sipping coffee when Em decided to hydrate because I nearly spat it everywhere laughing. Also it's definitely the mark of a good community that so many people are comfortable sharing their enclosures and getting honest, considerate feedback 💚

I love that we have many amazing animal advocates such as Em and Victoria Raechel to show us the best way to care for our animals. I learned so much when setting up our new dwarf hamster enclosure. The days of tiny plastic cages needs to come to an end!

You are so right about the availability of good enclosures in pet stores. When I got my first 2 guinea pigs I ended up ordering shelving panels to make a pen for them. It's about 5 foot by 5 foot, and it's so great seeing them have space to run around. I have 5 piggies in the herd now, and using the panels makes it so easy to adjust the size of the pen if I need to.

11:26 I'm laughing at the thought of you punching someone that way, with the mouth click before the hit 😂

The first hamster cage was actually decent. The cage looks like the preview 528 cage which can hold around 5 inches of bedding and is above the US bare minimum at around 500 sq inches of floor space. The wheel looked like an 11 inch wodent wheel which is good. Bigger is always better but it was actually okay for the US standards. I would rate it a C because it could use a lot of improvement but it deserves more than a failing grade.

My cousins used to have one 10g enclosure for 30 FISH. Yes, 30. It was so upsetting to see, and soon enough they stopped feeding the fish and they all died.

The way you talked about/to people in this video was the nicest most thoughtful and honest Ive ever seen in a reaction video, I'd definitely watch any more you make!

Actually, the prevue 528 is actually pretty decent. It’s got 620 square feet and it’s not a flimsy plastic. It looks smaller than it is in the picture. I think it’s good.

It's very funny that the tortoise's name is Vauhti which means speed

My beardie is in MBD remission I guess? Lol so he has mobility limitations and things. His enclosure is as close to “natural bearded dragon environment” while also being hospital/safety chic. 👍🏼

I love the parakeets cages but parakeets are a type of birds that love jumping from perches to perches and need a lot of space and also I would add foraging toy .

I don’t mind having some plastic in a hamsters enclosure, as long as they have a lot of things to chew. They don’t usually go after plastic, and don’t chew a huge amount in general. (Of course if they do chew it, get safe things to replace them).

It’s been so long since I’ve been early to an upload! I miss it!! I had a video idea! I’m not sure if it’s good or not but I wanted to share it. You know the little care guide pamphlets that most pet stores have for you to take home or look at? Maybe you could do a video reacting to or comparing some of them! Thanks for being a good influence in the animal world and bringing positivity into our lives!

Love your makeup in this video!

Finnish fan here! Love the fact that you liked Finland. Please make this as a series, this was fun to watch, and I am sure that many people learn a lot from this video. Plus this is a great way to interact with your followers! Love you!

You're such a kind person even when critiquing others. Congrats on that date by the way! I'm so happy to see you healing and moving on. You deserve this.

I’m glad that people are being brave and sending these pictures out! For fish tanks a good rule of thumb for fish enclosure sizing is 10 gallons per inch of fish (at least) By the way… whoever had the first enclosure for a hamster… maybe for now if you can’t afford a bigger enclosure for right now even if you have cardboard the hamster can chew on that!

I feel like you missed the chance to showcase that aquariums are also wonderful for hamsters. Their big flaw is that getting down into it to clean the whole thing can be a little difficult. I will say, I second the reptile enclosures. If I was to get another small pet, I would get a reptile enclosure for them because I love the accessibility. I wish more enclosure companies took into considerations disabilities. I am disabled and there are some enclosures that were just too awkward for me to clean or take care of by myself, and I don't think being disabled should exclude me from being able to enjoy and take care of a small fuzzy (or scaley) friend. If you could ever do a video on enclosures for different small pets and include ones that might be good for those who are disabled, that would be amazing and wonderful!

Please do more of these! I love learning about how I can imporve my animal enclosures! And sweing others creations is great for inspiration!

Loved watching this! I would love to see more videos like this one. Super educational and helpful.

first, em you are stunning in this video!! i have a bunch of animals i’d love to see more enclosure reviews and i’ll definitely be submitting mine!

i will probably get 2 ferrets soon in like a few months and if you really do a part 2 i will definitely submit mine then!

The meangirl references I can’t 😂😂😂

Yes please continue this! It is nice to see what is good and not good and get ideas for enclosures.

Yayyy another video!! Thank you for all the hard work you do for us! Love u and ur pets and ur videos!!

just letting you know that hamsters don't really like to climb BUT are great escape artists and can monkey bar due to stress! but it sounds like you've got everything right! also bin cages are amazing!

I love this video idea! its educational and also enjoyable to watch. i just love that other pet owners can also watch this and improve their enclosures.

I would totally submit one of my hamster enclosures if you did this again, you were so thoughtful in your criticism and even for the great enclosures I loved that you still offered suggestions!

Ooo Em you are glowing girl!

Ayyyy~ Finland mentioned

I love your makeup today! Looks really glowy✨ Also I love your educational videos!!

I love your info on beardies and tortoises. I keep a tortoise myself and researched beardies and considered getting one. This was perfect regarding them!

I really enjoyed this series and can't wait for part 2~

It would be really fun to see a part two of this video :3 Also ps, hope the date you mentioned in the end went well :)

The last enclosure; one detolf is already 800-900sq inches, so combined it's 1600-1800sq inches. Biggest I've ever seen, before the biggest I'd seen was 1300sq inches!! So it being that large is WILD

I use a large (2ft x 3ft) mixing tub for my Flemish rabbit. It works WONDERFULLY for her. Highly recommend either size for larger pets, including young "house" pigs! Great if you have elderly cats, too. More space than most regular large litter trays and reasonably low sides.

Excited to watch!

I recently found your channel and I love it❤ I learn alot from your videos! You are so smart in so many different areas

I love how you are so nice and are never judging people but helping them!!! Hopefully in the future you will be able to see my hamster enclosure and thank you so much for promoting good animal care love you!!

this was such a helpful video it gave me So many ideas for my animals habits

So excited for this video

This is why Friday is my favourite day of the week

I feel like you might be the nicest animal informer on KZfaq you give such constructive criticism and are always super sweet love your channel so much❤️❤️

I love your makeup em!!!

I love how energetic she is ♥️

Great video love the different types of enclosures

13:40 “the plastics” made me burst out laughing 😂

Amazing video, always learn so much from your vids :)

A miniseries would be amazing! I loved the ferret enclosure, so much space and sleeping opportunitys.

The most satisfying thing is seeing a well set up animal enclosure with a happy pet (: I have a Mexican black king snake trying my best to keep her well (: I just have to mention how beautiful my child is

I had to tie 2 huge bird cages together for my chinchillas because not a single store or webshop could deliver the heavy metal cages with the big doors. I made shelves, put in hammocks and wooden bridges, houses, etc. I switch it up twice a week and they love it. They don't like their running weel, they'd roll off the top, but never tried getting in it. I do plan on making a custom enclosure that's easier to clean. I pretty much have to take apart everything to reach the bottom now. It works, but birdcage doors are way too small. They like to use me as a bridge while i'm struggling to clean, so that's fun😂

You should make it a series! I love these type of videos :)

Yes mini series!

I love those huge hamster enclosures they look great!

Ty for this video! 😁

Using a gentle and small air stone for a betta can be great enrichment as well if you have a 10+ gallon tank. I would place mine in a corner next to taller plants and the bubbles move and glide off the leaves. All of my bettas loved swimming in them and chasing the bubbles on the leaves.

I know this is a pet habitat review, but your makeup always looks amazing 🤩

I feel like birds are some of the most neglected animals. I don't think I'll ever own one personally because I know how much training, mental stimulation, time, resources, and patience is required to keep them happy & healthy and its a lot!

Love ur vids em🥰. Maybe u could do a couple vids on plant care or smthing? 💛 Also was wondering do u still have ur giant african land snails?

I love the idea of a series of this because it might help me change some things with my guinea pigs cages. If I notice anything to better those lives.

i LOVEEEEE your videos so much!

I’d love if this became a series!

yayy loved the video i hope you do more videos of it please

“I was not punching you iii was giving you a fist bump, please dont sue me” 😂😂

Betta fish : 10 gallon is great, congrats to owner :) i would add way more plants to create a little forest too NB : female sororities are at least by 5 females not a couple ! With MANY plants to hide and tanks ready in case the hierarchy breaks 😊

I swear every video em your mane gets more and more luscious and you become more and more of a lion 🦁

Hello great video information EM

Definitely a mini series

I love Finland aswell 😩 So beautiful

My hamster was so spoiled we covered an entire bookshelf with his enclosure in total he had 3 large cages that were connected by tubes and we also put some small extensions like little squares where she would sleep or poop in she would carry bedding and fill it to the top. But it was also a pain to clean her enclosure, it’s a price you got to pay for a happy energetic hamster!

I lost my terrapins to a crow. yea, they are true escape artist. i told my mum becarefull about those Terrapins, they can escape, as usual she wont listern to me, all three of them went missing.

I would really like a mini series! We can all learn a lot, and I’d like to share my own enclosure too

A mini series would be awesome!

Ohhh I'm so excited

Had to pause at 5:05 and accidentally got a pic of fish face em lmao Great video tho would make a great series

"We're not about just going in a corner" Dobby and Niffler👀

this day last year 6 kittens where born and now its 2021 and there not here with me but i am happy to see that other people have there pets with them happy and happiest

I love this! I want more

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Emzotic looks gorgeous in this video- ❤️

Good video. Continue on your road on getting the giant gold play button

a really inexpensive solution to the space issue for hamsters and other rodents is making bin cages! you can get one of those huge bin cages, cut out the tops and some side windows, put in some wire mesh et voila! it works fantastic, and costs hundreds less than glass aquariums or other expensive items. all the needed supplies can be found at hardware stores and walmart. (a lot of people struggle with cutting out the windows in plastic, but i'll say i have succeeded in doing it well with a 5$ box cutter from home depot. it can be done! and some metal sheet cutters are also really handy. those cost me like 10$.)

Em to Pixar: Please don't sue me, my dog eats imported cheese Me: I WANT IMPORTED CHEESE! xD

I love the constructive criticism and the makeup and the outfit all 11/10

Awww man! Was hoping my day gecko would be interesting enough to make it 😭
