it's been a while since I did a Q&A video so i went ahead and asked you guys over on Instagram
to ask me some questions and now i'm gonna answer them
so the first question is what is your
favorite plant so my favorite plant has to be my birds of paradise plant this is a tropical plant
that grows really really large leaves and it has the capability to grow as tall as eight feet and
that is something i'm super excited for
favorite thing about living alone
my favorite thing has to be
being able to have your own big space to do whatever you want with it
to decorate it the way
you want. You don't have anybody telling you how to do something or where to put something you have
the complete freedom to make it the way you want it to be
how tall are you so I am 5 foot 4"
i think a lot of youtubers often get mistaken for being taller than what they are because you only
are seeing the torso up or either torso down so you don't get to see the complete youtuber usually
what's your favorite show right now
i don't tend to pick favorites but a show that i currently
just finished watching was "this is us" and the last season had such a plot twist and i can't wait for
the next season
easiest plant you've owned
so that would be snake plants these are easily some of the
easiest plants you can own you simply can neglect them and they will thrive off that they don't need
a lot of water and they also can be considered a low light plant
I preferably like to keep them in
a south window because they do do better with a lot of light and they will end up growing
more if you have them in more light but it's not a necessity
imagine if i dropped both of these right now
have you and Emiology ever actually met in person
so no unfortunately we haven't this
is because Emi lives all the way out in the UK and i live in Canada and to be able to see each
other just a one-way flight is extremely expensive and we've also come to the idea that meeting each
other probably would be terrible because we would eventually have to go back home and that would be
heartbreaking honestly
are you gonna get a new cat soon
so i don't plan on getting any more cats i do
love cats and last year i did have kitten fever so i was researching a bit on how many cats is too
many cats which
is not a thing
but somebody had mentioned a thing about having only as many cats
as you have arms to carry and i so i figured that two is probably my maximum
how old are all of your pets?
So Sadie and JJ are actually around the same age they're around two years old
and then we have Lola whose age is very estimated
i got her back in 2016 and nobody knew her age but she already was spayed
so that leads me to believe that she was at least a year old when i got her
so she could
be anywhere from five years old to six years old
Cleo is four years old
then we have Waddles who
when i adopted him his previous owners had said he was eight months old so if you do the math
Waddles is technically going to be a year old in November
then we have Mabel and she
is already eight months old
and lastly we have a Dipper
who is 16 weeks old which that would be
almost four months
do you like tortoises yes i absolutely love tortoises and honestly if i had
lived somewhere that was a consistent temperature like summer all the time i probably would have a
tortoise in my backyard
how many hamsters have you owned in total so this question was asked a lot
and i figured i would answer it by going through all of the hamsters that i've had from the
beginning to the ones i currently
have hopefully i can do this
okay so it all started with Buddy
then there was Freddy
Pumpkin
Wasabi
Tofu
Peach
Poptart
Petrie
Merlin
and then we had
Ducky
Latte
Toffee
Sugar
Spice
Basil
Coconut
Maple
Little Bear
and then we had Honey
Tater Tot
of course Bumble
Aspen
Lenny
and now my current three
Waddles
Dipper
and Mabel
can't believe i did that
would you consider getting a dog in the future
yes i really really
do want to own a dog but in my current position i'm just not capable of that
but one day when i
have a house i am 100% going to get the breed of dog that i want
who is more vocal Sadie or JJ
leave in the comments before i say who who do you think is more vocal
it's sadie
so this is a good question why do you provide Mabel with a bigger cage than Dipper if they are
both syrians
so it is true syrians need a lot of space but there can be slight differences between
male, female not always the case of course but from my experience and many others experience
female syrian hamsters need very very large enclosures
they can be super hard to please
of course, a male Syrian can be like this but on average it's usually the females that tend to be
super super hyper and they are never happy
in fact one of the most commonly asked questions
is usually somebody saying something like what do i do my hamster isn't happy in their enclosure
they are trying to escape
and the first thing that comes to my head is they have a female syrian hamster
so i ask do you have a female syrian hamster?
and the response is
yes
why did you stop using the IKEA detolf?
so i didn't stop using the IKEA detolf because it's a bad cage or it's unsafe
or anything like that i stopped using it because my hamster at the time- Bumble just was not
happy in the detolf anymore she was showing signs of boredom so it was time that she got an upgraded
enclosure to something larger and something that was going to be taller as well as wider
which the detolf, unfortunately, doesn't provide that much
what's your favorite object in your room
so this is something really really small in my room that i have on display but it is one of
my favorites this was made by my friend Zoë and this is an art a little art print i don't know
how she made it but it's of two cats
and one is black and one is white and it just reminds me of
JJ and Sadie and i just i love it so much
what is your favorite part of being a pet owner
my favorite part just has to be seeing my pets happy like when i give a hamster a new cage set up
or something new in their enclosure and they're exploring it and they're using it
that just brings me so much joy
where did you get your gate for the pet room
so that is a baby gate
from Walmart i did have to make some slight adjustments i had to add some metal poles in
between so the rabbits couldn't fit through it and it used to have mesh in the center i had to cut
that out and replace it with this white material because the rabbits would grab the mesh and pull
back on the gate
biggest pet peeve
so this one is related to youtube and that is when somebody asks
me to get the same species of pet they have so that i can tell them how to care for their pet
I get pets because I love the species and I have researched how to care for them
I don't get pets views I don't get pets for videos
if you get a pet it is your responsibility to do the research
on how to care for them properly
that is that's not up to me to do for you
are you naturally ginger
yes i am
since birth and i have never really ever colored my hair besides doing highlights
because I just I like my color
and the last question is what's the hardest thing about being a youtuber
there are there's a lot of things i think a lot of people think being a youtuber is just
this really easy thing you film a video and upload it and then like that's it
there's so much more that goes into it and there's a lot of things that can severely
affect you being in the public eye is horrible sometimes and of course that is something like
if you're a youtuber you choose to be in the public eye
but one of the hardest things
is that being put on a pedestal
i don't think any human should ever be put on a pedestal
and thought of as the greatest human in the world
i will get comments where they're like i think you're the best person ever
you're such an amazing person and while I say thank you
i'm also like i'm not,
i'm not the greatest person in the world i know i have flaws i know i make mistakes
so I- I don't think i deserve to be
put on some other type of level because i'm the same as everybody else
and when somebody is put on a pedestal as soon as they do make a mistake it is the
biggest thing in the world and everybody hates them
when making mistakes is a human thing
so i don't think being put on a pedestal is healthy for anybody
i feel like that got really serious oh my gosh
well i hope you guys enjoyed the video and i will see you in my next one
bye
