Hey Guys! What's up?
We hit 200,000 subscribers
I remember when I hit 100,000 subscribers a few months ago
And I thought Oh my god it is going to take me years to get to 200,000
Like I thought it was going to take me so long to get to my next hundred thousand
And it's happened in like four months so that's pretty cool. Pretty, pretty rad..
Y'all guys are pretty rad
Yes, the giveaway is still happening of course
I still have to go through and pick the winner, so I'm not announcing it in this video
But I will in my next one
I don't know what this is I ordered it online
I thought it was gonna be really cute
Kinda weird
Kinda looks like I wrapped cardboard around my neck
but thats okay
Fashion
You know me I'm super stylish
I-I-I saw a comment the other day on my videos that said
I would really like to subscribe to you, but you talk too much so it's not happening
If you're wanting to look at content that does not involve people talking
Go to Instagram
Go to Instagram, Go to Pintrest
But get off YouTube because people are gonna talk on YouTube
Thats what we do
This little commentary that I do in the beginning and towards the end of my video
That isn't about the topic of the video
None them are, like, long enough of a story to make a video in itself about
I was going to film this video about two hours ago but uhm
Y'know how they're redoing my floors right now because I flooded my floors
Yeah well, uhm
Fun story
I don't even know how to say this
but
It's not it's actually not that bad
So I'll come out and say it
They were
they
I flooded the floors again
The funny thing about this is that people really think that my parents must hate me
And that yknow why havent they kicked you out
Blah blah blah
And I see all this negative stuff about why are you living in your parents house and doing this
and making your parents miserable
One
If my parents really didn't want me here they could kick me out completely, they could
But two
They don't want me out of here
Everytime I say I want to move out my mom is like, NO
Don't do it
Stay
Forever
Stay til you're 50
Number 3
Cos I think I'm on number 3 now
I ruined our wood flooring and uhm
My mom thanked me
My mom didn't like the wood floors
Uhm
She never wanted wood
Now that I ruined them she had a reason to get rid of them
So you're welcome mom
And uhm
Yeah I flooded the floors again today
I used my R O D I unit
I didn't use my, I used a really old bucket because I only needed a little bit of water
I was like I'm only gonna run it for a few minutes to get a little bit of water
To top off one of my tanks
And then I took a shower and I forgot about it
And I went back to my pantry
With our new tile covered in water
So my mom, dad and I spent spent two hours maybe a little less
cleaning all of the water off of the floor
And while we were scrubbing I was like
So mom, you mad at me yet?
Cmon you gotta be mad
She was like, "No, I think this experience brought us together"
"We will never forget, we had a family bonding moment cleaning your flooded floors
And we're always going to remember this
Uhm yeah
No
I felt terrible about it though
So don't think I'm just like "I don't give a heck." or something
So many hecks are given
I just am really forgetful
And I do have one more announcement before I get to the very very main topic of this video
I know I know
I just talk too much and you just can't bear to subscribe to me
Because you just can't fast forward through things you don't care about
I know its just hard
Yesterday I decided something
I decided that uhm
I decided to get a pet
I know you've all been dying for me to finally get an animal
And don't worry I finally brought a creature home into this house
I know it's never been done before
And I did it
That's his cage
This is a 40 gallon tank
Ooooo
Big
Before you try to hurt me in the heart by calling me a hoarder
Just know
My full-time job is taking care of these animals
That's all I do
I have no life
I have no friends
I have nothing
This is my life
And I love it
All I do is take care of these animals
My life revolves around taking care of animals
Seeing them thrive
I love it
I love taking care of animals
I love interacting with them
I love owning them
I have so much fun with what I do and truly do spend all my time doing it
Because I'm so passionate about it
So this isn't a case where I'm just buying animals and throwing them in a little cage and hoping they survive
This is my life
Yes I do have way more animals than a normal person should probably have
but
This is my job, this is my life
And so there are some
Extenuating circumstances that make this okay and make my animals be able to thrive and be so healthy
Even though this video is about my hedgehog poking his eye out
But we'll get to that in a minute
We'll get to that in a minute
Let me just show you my new animal
kay
This is his enclosure
oooooo
ahhhh
Is that wood? Oooooo
Is that a dish of water that needs to be a lot deeper but i only got a shallow dish just for a minute but im gonna get a bigger one
Yeeeeees
Is that a dragon?
Yaaaaas
Oh he's sleeping
Awe
I feel bad now I'm gonna have to wake him up for this
hello?
Open your eyes it's time to rise and shine
He is a red eye crocodile skink
with some moss hanging on him
So I'm only gonna show y'all him really quick
One because they don't like to be held that much and two I'm going to make another video about him and that's not what this video is about
This is a Red-eye Crocodile Skink
As much as I wish it was a dragon it is not
He is super cute and I love him; I've been looking for a crocodile skink for a really long time and have never really been able to find them
My camera won't FOCUS ON HIM
Oh well
So a little over a month ago my dear, lovely, beautiful, amazing, wonderful, fat, grumpy hedgehog Kovu
Poked his own eye
with his quills
Apparently
He damaged his eyes with his quills
This is
This is me being a hedgehog
These are the quills
And they just ahhh oh my god
Went in his eye
It's been the hardest thing in the world to treat
Hedgehogs in general, y'know, they don't like to be touched
Most of them aren't the most friendly creatures on the planet
Uhm
They're adorable and sweet and awesome but
They're very timid most of them
Depending
I mean there are some that are friendly
but anyway
It's hard enough to medicate a hedgehog with some kind of oral medicine where you shoot it in their mouth
It's a million times harder to treat a hedgehogs eyeball
I have to
Squirt stuff
In both of my hedgehogs eyes
Every
Six
Hours
Every.
Six.
Hours.
It is the hardest thing in the world
But I do it cos I love them
It is absolutely
So hard
so hard
So for about ten more days I still have to medicate him every six hours
And uhm
In order to medicate him
I have to put him in water
that way he won't duck his face because he'll hit the water
And he still will do it sometimes
He would rather breathe in water and risk drowning than he would have me touch his eyes
so it's still not that easy at all
But anyway
I have to get it and squirt it in his eye
And I have to actually make sure it gets in there cos he's gonna duck and move
And it's hard
It's been a long journey with Kovu
Uh
One
we went to the vet and he got his eye sewn shut
Here's that footage
(soft music)
So Kovu got his eye sewn shut
Uh
His eyeball is in there they didn't remove his eyeball
But they sewed it shut so it would have a better chance of healing
Uh
A week later they took the stitches out and nope it did not heal
So
Nope
Still gotta medicate
Yeah and here is footage of me medicating Kovu
(water faucet running)
(soft music)
Then his other eye is still messed up too
He went under anesthesia and we checked him out every wear and the only thing that's wrong with his eyes
He's perfectly healthy otherwise
But his eyes are messed up
His injuries in his eyes have turned to ulcers
Again this is just what the vet tells me
And
then
uh
yeah if they don't get better
I they keep getting worse or even if they just stay the same
I'm going to have a blind, eyeless hedgehog
But i still love him
His will have to be removed
If they don't get better
So
Pray for me
Better yet pray for Kovu I'm not the one who's gonna be losing eyes here
But
uhm
Hedgehogs have really really, really really, really really bad vision
So
If he loses his eyes it won't be a big deal
They're pretty much blind as is
Their vision is not their go to sense
Really their most dominant sense is their smell
And they reallt get around very easily just relying on their sense of smell
And number 2 they have really good hearing
So
Even if he's blind he's still going to be able to see and
No he won't be able to see
He's gonna be blind he won't see shit
Even if he's blind he'll still be able to hear, and smell and live a very happy hedgehog life
I do have a lot of hedgehog tips I want to come out with and I will be doing a whole new video about them
Because I've learned so much about them
I've had hedgehogs
Hedgehogs are the very first pet I really ever owned myself
And I've had them for so many years
And I've just learned so much about them
So I would really like to do some updated care videos because the only videos I have out that actually are about them
Are a million years old
And
I
They're edited terribly really bad qual-
It's really bad quality and it's edited really bad and actually I've changed my opinions
And I've gotten more knowledge on hedgehogs since then
So I really need to do an updated video
Also good news I am finally putting my 150 gallon in my room
I'm almost done kinda organizing my room and getting everything set up
This upcoming Thursday at 12 o'clock pm I have some friends of mine from a local aquarium shop
Who are coming over and helping me lift it in
Because the tank is pretty big and I can't lift it
Acutally I tried to lift a forty gallon and look what I did
And by 40 gallon I mean the 40 gallon that's behind me
And uhm yeah it's broken for some weird reason I don't who broke it
Wasn't me
