So it is feeding time for all my animals
which is why they are all out.
Kovu's kinda mad right now
'cause he has an empty food bowl.
I just wanted to show y'all, what I go through every night
feeding all of my animals
because they're all nocturnal
so they all get fed right before I go to bed.
So this is my nightly routine
of feeding my animals.
So first up is my Betta
which has to be the
simplest of my animals to feed
because he just gets some
prepared food
and then on other days he'll get some brine shrimp
and blood worms.
So here are my hedgehogs' meals.
It might look disgusting to you
but its actually every single thing a hedgehog could possibly want
in one
its just all mashed together, which makes it look disgusting.
I prepare this every night for them,
It takes me about 10-15 minutes to get everything all together.
They have worms, crickets
I like to mix in some vegetables
'cause they don't really like vegetables
but they're good for them.
And then there's some chicken,
aaand
some cat food.
so, that is everything a hedgehog could want
They know when its feeding time, and they come right out
and he is going right for the chicken.
They always go for the chicken first
they really like it
I try not to, you know, over do it
I only give it to him like once a week
but -
he loves it
and thats what he's going right for.
Okay, so the next thing I feed, after my hedgehogs
are my hermit crabs.
Today I'm giving them bananas and carrots.
I alternate everyday between fruits and veggies and - uhm - meats, like shrimp,
because they do need both in their diet.
All I do for them is just plop it in there and they
come get it at their own
will
and then I fill up their water
and that's that for them
I do mist them down also before I go to bed
to keep their cage nice and humid.
Okay so this next part is for my Crested Gecko
I give him
one cup of water of course,
and one cup of his food
I give him this kind of food
this is what he lives off of
it has everything in it that he could ever need
so it's just like an all in one
'everything you need' food.
All you do is pour some of this powder into a cup
and then you stir it up with water
I think I put a little too much water in there,
but we're gonna see if I can get it to look okay
Okay, it's actually, It's - it's a little watery but it'll be okay.
He'll still eat it
Sometimes - uh - some nights I'll hand feed it to him but I'm just gonna put it in there
and I put it on this ledge so he has easy access to it
Stick it over there
and then I give one cup of water
and then about twice a month I do feed him some crickets.
Normally they are live,
But I don't have any right now.
So I'm going to go ahead and give him some that are - have already passed.
He tends to like either of them just the same,
but technically the live are a little better for him.
Crickets are basically like candy to crested geckos
So you definitely don't want to give it to them all the time
So like I said I only give it to him about twice a month
He does REALLY like them though.
It's just
I don't want him to live off of it.
Because it'd be like letting your child live off of candy.
But, yeah! He really likes them.
This one is a little big for him
typically you only want to give them crickets that are about the size of the space between their eyes
So this one was a little big for him,
but he took it like it was nothin'.
Guess he's all done now, *haha*
He's licking his lips
*haha*
And then every night I do mist down his cage
Just give it a good spray,
'Cause they like their environments really humid
Okay next up is feeding my fish
Um - I have two tanks of fish I have to feed
I do put a lot of food in there
Probably a lot more than they'd necessarily need
But it's just because I have so many fish
that like to fight each other for the food
So, I just want to make sure it -
it gets evenly dispersed in there and everyone gets a chance to eat some stuff
Normally I put some flaked food in for some of the fish
and then I put some live food
OR some frozen shrimp in there
for the carnivores that are in my tank
'cause I do have a mix of both
Okay so for the non carnivorous fish,
which are actually up front right now, I give them flaked food.
I put a lot in there
'cause, like I said, there's actually a lot of them in there.
So, I want them all to be able to get some.
*background music plays louder*
All I do is fill a container with a little bit of water.
And then I put a frozen pellet of shrimp in there
and then just let it kinda dissolve,
and I'm gonna split it between my two tanks.
'cause they both have carnivores in them
Okay, now I'm just gonna put
- I'm gonna put the bigger chunk in the bigger tank... -
And I let it all disolve
And that's it for this tank,
and then I move on to...
THIS tank,
which is my brackish tank.
Basically these guys are gonna get THIS.
It's gonna come down right there, and they're all gonna eat.
And then, for this guy back there,
my puffer, he doesn't eat this food.
He's already - he already knows it's time to eat.
He eats live food, so that means I have to
go ahead and give him some food that is, well, alive.
*background music*
Puffers are very vicious eaters. *haha*
*background music plays louder*
And the next animal I feed actually, eats earthworms as well,
but I don't know if they're hungry or not, so I'm gonna see how much they'll eat.
He is nowhere near big enough to eat an entire earthworm without me having to cut it up,
so I have to cut it up into several small pieces,
and he still doesn't even eat... HALF an earthworm for a meal, he eats very small pieces of it.
That's just 'cause he's so young
He is a vicious eater too, though.
Anything you put in front of him, he's gonna eat. He will just devour it.
I'm gonna try it with flash to see if you can see a little better.
Hey, come over here.
Now you can get a good view.
...Kind of.
And its gone.
*ahaha*
So that is my nightly routine for all my animals,
I do this every single night,
Takes me a good thirty minutes to an hour, just depending on how much I'm wanting to feed them.
And now I have to clean up this whole cage before I go to bed, 'cause they make a mess every night
and then I will be done and ready to sleep.
That's one bad thing about having as many animals as I do, and them all be nocturnal.
Is...
It keeps me up at night!
But that's okay.
I hope you enjoyed my video, I know this one was a little different than what I normally make,
But I do occasionally wanna upload a video that is just about my animals,
just showing you some things I do with them,
and that's what this one was!
So,
Thank you for watching!
