      They have habitats built like this for small mammals in the Philadelphia Zoo, USA. They also have "Zoo 360" there where they've made tunnels for the big cats and monkeys so they can roam the zoo. They also made tunnels for the muscrats that lead out to a children's park.

      You think this channel made this video? Ok .., no.... these channels just steal content from the actual networks that produce this type content and do all of the hard work involved etc. and these little CZcams channels only take the existing content and skins in ads so they can selfishly benefit from profiting off ads and they change titles and descriptions of the content to avoid copyright infringement/ violations and get away with exploiting the work of others that they have nothing to do with... so many things sit here thinking these many entitled CZcams “ channels “ have anything remotely to do with the content they plaster on here and they all wanna give them praise and pat them on the back for things they didn’t do or didn’t earn or deserve any credit for and it’s not fair these many entities only take existing content and exploit it for profit. But they keep doing it on here. I still am thankful fo enjoy any decent content and appreciate being able to see it all but sadly you cannot trust most of these so called channels on here or many other social media sites etc , as they just try and pass others work off as their own in their vague ways of wording things and their efforts to make things appear legit ... sure it’s possible some of these people on here are actually posting their own work and at a level of quality and professionalism , after all. , it isn’t just these major networks and producers out there ok the media capable of creating decent content , but these many yt channels just are in it for their own selfish benefit and nothing more.

    Love this!!! I have a mini-sanctuary with all types of bird-feeders, homes and watering-holes. We have blue jays, chipmonks, squirrels, cardinals, finches, cat birds, robins, etc--Amd rabbits. Everyone loves peanuts and I talk to the animals. One day, this one rabbit allowed me to feed it. He/her loves peanuts. Now when he hears me outside, he/her comes running to me. The only thing that spooks him is the squawking of the 2 dozen blue jays we have. It's so flattering to watch this rabbit come running to me for his/her peanuts.

    What I would like to know is this: what do rabbits do about their urine and poop? I made a cage that was 1 m by 2 m above ground plus 1 meter underground. I put two rabbits in it to live as close to nature as I can provide while being protected from predators. They dug their own tunnel underground and got the dirt and made their own hill with it above ground. At first they would designate a corner of the cage as a toilet. But a few months later they got sick and started pissing and pooping in the same place they eat. Then things went downhill from there and they both died. Now I don't want to get new ones without knowing how to prevent such a thing from happening again.

      Rabbits will leave the burrows and poop outside. They also poop often when they are out and eating, the poop fertilizes plants very effectively without needing to be composted. I think because their area was small, not refreshed (?), and the rabbits were sick, they had unusual waste giving behaviors

      We had pouring rain a while ago and there was a rabbit nest in the backyard. We didn't think it's a good idea to intrude the nest to rescue as we are not professionals.

    • @cktan9652
      @cktan9652 Před 4 lety +2

      After that, we learnt our lesson. Once we find a new batch of babies, we transferred them into a box and bring them indoors. every day we will bring them out in the evening to their mother to drink milk. Don't worry, the mother's instinct is so strong that she won't reject feeding her babies even though they are removed indoors.
