In this thread we will be able to talk about another Petubers flaws. We will started with the basic kit of narcissistic self involved characters such as:


Emzotic
- Mentioned now and again on the TND thread.
- Complains about lolcow and similar sites, describing them as little predators in wait for pet youtubers to slip up.
- Throws a lot of subtle shade at other pet youtubers despite pretending to be 'friends' with them all.
- Moved to America to live with hoarder BYB boyfriend Danny.
- Won't show habitats for most of her and Danny's animals, keeping the exact number of animals a secret. Some examples of enclosures not shown include; Snapping turtle, snakes, and (unseen) monitor lizards.
- Thought she could cycle a fish tank with old water, put two betta together to 'breed' despite clearly knowing nothing about breeding and conditioning the fish.
- Keeps her doves in the bare minimum of cages, also keeps them next to ferrets and has let them land on the ferret cage before.
- Was paid off to set up an awful Bearded dragon enclosure including substrate that can cause impaction.
- Says she isn't planning on getting more animals but has recently taken in a skunk, plans to get another hornbill, plans to get a dog, has got a nano reef tank and two more mystery pets since stating this.

Tyler Rugge
- Support TND.
- Hoards animals like most pet youtubers and likes to buy the trending animal of the month.
- Had a betta fish in a fluvial tank but it 'disappeared'. Didn't care what had happened to it.

Brian Barczyk
- Hoards, breed and sell a shit tons of reptiles.
- Keep them on little plastic containers, justifying it with saying 'they like it that way'.
- Inbreeds and shows little concern for genetics outside of producing colour morphs that will sell for $$$.
- Sells bad quality, sick and otherwise ill reptiles.
- Bullies costumers if they dare to call him out for the shitty conditions his animals have when they arrived.
- Both Tyler Rugge and Taylor Nicole Dean have made collabs with him.

Maddie Smith
- Hoards animals like most other youtubers, justifies it by saying all her animals are taken to a vet. Regularly has over 30+ animals, has had over 50+ in the past.
- BYB rats, claims she doesn't any more but still ended up with sick baby rats that had to be treated for URI's and also a rat born with one testicle. Doesn't seem to know much about rat genetics but claims to have worked with breeders.
- Recently got two doves; one got sick and died. She blamed the breeder and 'genetic' illness despite environmental being much more likely. Subsequently she got another bird from a 'better breeder' to replace it, didn't quarantine properly and that bird is now also very sick.
- Is a 'wildlife rehabber'; although is listed as 'social media adviser' on their poorly made site. Charity was also only registered in Ohio in September 2017.

Carolin von Petzholdt
- Keeps parrots. Has actively lost her parrot Hope numerous times on camera.
- Flies her Parrot Hope in public parks around dogs and as such has been chased by dogs and accosted by dog owners more than once.
- Doesn't train her parrot to fly back to her on a signal, merely screams randomly.
- Has had Hope both chase native birds and be chased by native birds during her free flying, resulting in Hope being lost at least twice from this.
- Has sexually molested her bird on camera; doesn't seem to understand that touching a birds vent is frustrating for the animal and essentially bestiality.

Happy Tails
- The worst hoarding pettuber with over 100 animals
- Keeps her animals in a small room with way under minimum enclosures
- Advises not to listen to veterinary advice, like not spaying and neutering rabbits
- Backyard breeds dogs, purposefully mixed two breeds together and justified it by saying they're designer and "these breeds are really in right now"
- Uses aerosol products and paints her nails in the same room as her birds
- Feeds her animals mostly fruits and vegetables without proper supplementation
- Her bird almost died due to poor diet (vet literally put it on seed because it was too thin from bad diet)
- Had her snake and bird out on her body during livestream
- Some of her cages have exposed wire and splotchy/peeling paint
- Extremely rude to supporters and shuts down every question that she can with a snarky remark


Just what I can think of right now, anyone else feel free to write a proper summary with whatever I'm missing (which I'm sure there's a lot)

i was reading about kookaburras and apparently theyre really social and live in family groups in the wild, has emzotic ever mentioned having multiple kookaburras or just one? with the amount of animals they have i cant imagine they give the kookaburra anywhere near the amount of attention he needs, or would get from another bird

No. 560842

>>560840
Yeah, as far as I know it's just the one as it's Danny's bird. I also just learnt from her twitter that her Skunk has been descented. :( So if it ever was wild (some anon mentioned that in the last thread), it never will be again. Descenting is cruel for the same reason declawing is; it removes an animals natural defences. It seems like her state requires it? But then why get the animal in the first place if that's the requirement. Em doesn't /need/ another pet.

No. 560867

>>560830
are you a vet? or were you at the vet with her to hear what happened to the first? i'm curious. if the vet said the bird was born with a large liver, and tests were done to rule out parasites and bacteria on all of the birds and all were negative, why are we questioning this? it's weird that the new bird is sick but it could also be stress from leaving its loft and having to be kept alone in quarantine instead of with other birds. birds are very sensitive to change (ex. plucking and regurgitation)

Under BYBing dogs;
>breeds a potentially harmful gene (merle) into her dogs
>there is no genetic way a purebred Pembroke Corgi can have merle in it's genes, at some point the dogs were mixed with something that had merle (It was big a decade ago to mix corgis with merle Aus Sheps to get merle corgis) so there's great evidence that she never got heritage on her dog's breeds (unless she had the other corgi? i think she had pem)
and also;
>charges an OUTRAGEOUS amount for 'consultation' when she has 0 credentials, can't even say she does her own research for her own animals
>BYB her goats, then the offspring of that bred as soon as physically possible due to negligence
>can't afford to buy a sugarglider so she sets up a gofundme for it
That's all I got for right now. maybe have an updated animal counter for her now that she got some new snake or something. But tbh I think the list for HappyTails would be too long for an OP

No. 560904

I was just watching Happytails most recent video and she said that she 'works in a vet clinic and one of her jobs is to give advice to people after their animals get spayed'

Emzotic is looking to rescue a dog (good) only she seems to be looking at young puppies… ah, I really hoped she'd adopt an adult/elderly dog but oh well, this is just me nit picking.

It also seems like the skunk is indeed a pet skunk rather than wild. However, what are these 'educational shows' she keeps mentioning?

No. 560907

>>560905

Educational shows range from kids parties where 'animal handlers' bring a range of different 'travelling zoo' animals to kids parties so all the screaming kids can handle exotic animals - to at a push, educating at actual useful levels such as in colleges or something

No. 560912

>>560904
I have never heard her ever talk about a job before. I've also never seen her anywhere with any kind of advanced (college) schooling. So I imagine she is a receptionist at a vet clinic reading off the vet's instructions for owners. Trust me if she were anything more than a kennel bitch or receptionist she would tout it loud and proud, lord knows I do even though it's just a 2 year degree. I'm assuming she doesn't like to talk about it because 1) people will call her out on not being at least a vet tech assistant pretty quick or 2) this is a very recent job. I'm hoping it's recent because she doesn't live with her parents, just her husband who also works full time. So how the FUCK are they taking care of 100+ animals including like 20 barn animals daily? I would suggest they are millionaires that hire help but she had to start a donation page to buy a $300 sugar glider so I imagine that is out of the question.
>>560905
I don't get why people are so god damn puppy crazy. I mean I guess it's nice that at least she's adopting, but there's a good chance that any rescue selling only puppies is doing some shady shit.
>>560842
Skunks, while obv not popular pets, can be bought domesticated as pets. Had a neighbor with domesticated skunks, except that was before taking scent glands out was a thing. They are usually free roaming pets so I'm wondering how that will work with a potential puppy?

"I AM NOT A BAD PERSON" ~HappyTails
A wise man once said that people who have to tell you they aren't a bad person, are probably bad people.
HappyTails writes a blog about how breeding her dogs doesn't make her a backyard breeder, I'll try to summarize it;
>'I just loved the breed!'
>'Breeders are hard to find!'
>'Breeders are expensive!'
>'I have to travel to get to a breeder!'
>All of her family wanted corgis so it's ok
>virtue signaling about how she worked with rescues
>health 'cleared' by vet
>the miracle of birth bullshit
>'I didn't breed mutts I bred designer dogs'
>attempts to justify breeding mutts because 'all breeds began as mutts' bulshit
>goes on to say that registered dogs aren't always purebred
>talks about 'mutts being healthier' bs
>In the end, justifies her decision because the 'dogs are so alike anyways' and because she likes the breed
>cherry-picks the BYB claims; only addresses claims she can refute
>ends it with how she didn't contribute to over-population because she gave the dogs away to people she's sure will fix them and wouldn't get a non-pedigree dog from anywhere else
I didn't straight quote anything, here's the blog if y'all wanna take a look. The amount of logical fallacies in it is enough to teach an English class with.

It was a local petstore, not a chain

No. 562262

>>562256

It was a smaller pet store, however no decent breeder would supply their hamsters to a store, they'd rather home them out themselves. Small pet stores can be just as bad as chain pet stores sometimes. You'd be better off going to the adoption section of petsmart

In the video you can see theres a lot of hamsters, and they come in a lot of different varieties, usually a good breeder would be focusing on breeding for health / temperament along with only a few varieties so I doubt they'd be able to supply that many is lots of different colours

No. 562264

Exactly, there is a thriving ethical breeding practice in the USA. As someone in the hamster fancy, no good breeder is going to sell through a shop. Like any animal there is a interview process, they need pictures of your enclosures, a list of pets you have.

Does Erin not quarantine? If she doesn't shame on her. I mainly like Erin because she's the antithesis of impulsive.

I don’t know many pet channels that do practice quarantining though.

No. 562310

>>562268
A lot of times quarantining is keeping separate with no interaction, no cross of food and water, and that's as much as you can do since it's hard to quarantine anything that lives on the same air supply. Good sanitation practice and common sense goes a long way. It's hard to tell what they do because we're not there with them, we only see snippets.

No. 562313

>>562244
There is also Hopping Hammy, Hammylux and Victoria Raechel that have excellent hamster care vids. As for quarantining, hamsters are solitary. Not sure how relevant that is for them. Ensuring the cage, if being reused, is cleaned thoroughly, after having had a previous hamster in it is far more important.

No. 562514

at the risk of sounding dumb, why do you quarantine pets? only info i really see is about quarantining animals to keep them from spreading infection. is that what you guys mean by it? and how should one quarantine a pet?

No. 562522

>>562514
Yes. You quarantine new pets to prevent the spread of illness and disease. This is more important with animals housed in the same enclosure or tank.

No. 562550

Quarantining should ideally be for any new animal that enters a home, regardless of whether they remain solitary or not, especially in a home with a large number of animals or a home with multiple animals of the same species.
It can help prevent your entire group from getting sick if your new addition has something that can be spread, such as mites or any viral infections.
Technically speaking, the only real way to quarantine is to house an animal on a completely separate air supply as the healthy animals (you see this a lot in rescue facilities), but that is not realistic or possible for most pet owners and usually a different room is sufficient. Picking and choosing when it is or isn’t necessary to quarantine new animals is a dangerous practice to promote. If possible, ANY new animal should be quarantined regardless whether or not they’re solitary animals.

However, most average pet owners do not quarantine ever, especially not solitary animals. Quaranting is a practice that should be promoted, but I don’t expect it from PetTubers who are typically nothing more than average pet owners who happen to film themselves.

No. 562552

>>562514
Yes, mainly for preventing disease (illness / parasites etc) spreading to your existing animals. But also to ensure the new pet is otherwise healthy and adjusting.

Quarantine method varies depending on the species of animal.

For example fish, 4 weeks in a separate tank, with separate filtration and equipment, in a space where water droplette (through the air) contamination isn't possible. Is ideal. Fish are usually treated for parasitic illnesses too during this time.

For small mammals (eg rats) two weeks quarantine is usually standard (although good practice might have some folks quarantining longer). They should be kept in a separate cage in ideally a different location (two buildings), or at the same location with different airflows (ie. a completely different area within a single building). They should not share any 'common' areas with existing animals and should not come into contact with toys / equipment or even clothes that existing animals have been on. Hands /arms should be washed thoroughly from going from one area to another.

Both the above are 'ideal' quarantines although I'm probably forgetting to add something. Many people think they can get away with less or just keeping animals away from each other, but still getting them out in common areas. Sadly that means that the quarantine only works for illnesses that require direct contact and not airborne infections or even things that can pass through clothing lice etc.

Herpfag here, I'm really surprised by the lack of BHB content in these threads (read the last one, wasn't sure if there were more). He's got a spicy anti group on Facebook with a lot of milk.

One of my favorites is a very interesting interaction between he and Lori when he brought home the """"first""" leopard geckos for his program. She flips out and makes a scene, it's heavily implied that the last time he did this, he did no research on the animals and they all died (most likely slow, horrible deaths due to poor husbandry).

I'll see if I can find that video. There's so much milk, is everyone just taking it as common knowledge? I'm surprised to not see it here.

thanks so much for the helpful replies! that was really informative and i appreciate it a lot. i've only got a beardie and two buns right now but thinking about getting some fish or perhaps other small animals in the future. i didn't know quarantining your animals was a thing until reading these replies but i'm glad i do now!

Finally someone mentions the trash that is BHB. Emzotic has Milk about BHB from her livestreams, but hasn’t said exactly what. She said in multiple livestreams that she refuses to collab or associate with him or Prehistoric Pets that she used 2 be friends with Barfczyk for years and that he visited her in England and she showed him some animals? . Then she said she was disappointed when he changed. I think it was when he had the controversy of sending dickpics to his young fans? Maybe he did the same with Em because she used to be in the same circle with the old school reptile ppl? She said Brian wanted her to produce a show for his channel when she was a zookeeper but she refused. I hope she talks about it one day. He’s the epitome of garbage but people don’t seem 2 call out the Male pettubers as much as the girl PetTubers.

I’m not surprised Em won’t touch Bryan or Jay with a barge pole. A collab with either of them could help her channel grow, but it would be bad for her image in the long game. At least she has sense enough to stay away from the mass hoarders.

Brian is just creepy AF. I swear he’s on drugs on his videos but at conventions he’s boring and isn’t like how he is on camera. His wife Lory just impulse bought a Great Dane puppy and didn’t introduce the new puppy to their older dog properly and there was a fight because of this.

I've seen pretty of coked up white business dudes so I can't say I agree, I think he is fueled by ego alone.

HOWEVER with regard to the creep allegations, his iCloud account was apparently 'hacked' at one point and SURPRISE he has nudes of his own employees in there. I wonder how many of those cute female youtubers he collabbed with had to tolerate him breathing down their neck the entire time.

I'm not a fan of Danny at all, but we have no evidence of the way Danny keeps his reptiles, so it's not really fair to say he's worse than Brian until we've seen his care. He seems uneducated on a lot of very simple things (hermit crabs on a thin layer of pink calcium sand and marbles, and the betta fish "breeding" fiasco, but maybe he has a breeder state of mind and has a good breeding set up for whatever he's working with, unlike Brian who keeps retics in racks where they can barely move.

Not saying he's WORSE than Brian, but he is definitely not better than him. I think the fact that Danny and Emzotic refuse to show all their animals and enclosures says a lot about the care and condition they are kept in. Danny backyard breeds snakes just to trade, so he obviously has a pretty sizable collection. Maybe his breeding set up is passable, but thats only a fraction of his collection. We've already seen peaks of his wall-to-wall rack system during Emz livestreams, but you're right, we don't know what is exactly in those racks. Honestly, I almost don't want to know what he's stuffing in those racks, or what other animals he has down in his basement.

Does he really keep his hermit crabs on calcium sand?? FFS, If he's struggling with the care of simple "starter" pets, I can't imagine his care for his other pets. How hard is it to read a care sheet or two?? Even Petco doesn't keep their hermit crabs on calcium sand

The comments for this video are great, most people seem to realize that she was also in the wrong.

"He might be breaking the rules but he at least has control over his unleashed animal. You can't say the same considering your parrot just does whatever it wants, evident by the way it took off and refused to listen to your calls. He might have been rude, but you are being ridiculously irresponsible. Let's just call it like it is, you were both in the wrong and behaved like fools."

Yeah, that one was linked in the last thread. Unfortunately no matter how many folks seem to call her out she keeps doing stupid shit. Take a look at the first video she lost Hope during free flight. So many people told her to stop, to not do it again.. and a few videos later she looses Hope again. :/ Free flight is dangerous with trained birds… her birds aren't trained.

Those peaks are the invertebrate racks which she shows in her livestreams. I don’t have an issue with invertebrates in racks. The spider cages look like the expensive acrylic ones from the vendors at Whiteplains - I have the same and they’re good. The continuous speculation is unreliable so I wait for facts. I can’t speak about the hermit crab. I haven’t seen that setup. I’ve only seen the hermit setup with the deep cocofibre/sand mix which used to be where Bad Ideas enclosure is. It had hammocks and drift wood and didn’t look bad to me?

Brian is in idiot and needs to be taken off of YouTube. I don’t care what people do off camera, but portraying and glorifying mass snake production is more worrisome than what ‘might’ be happening in Danny or Ems collection.

To be fair though, there are WAY, WAAAY more folks than just Danny piling on. His contributions to the milkshake are minimal, at best. Danny provided some milk about the death of multiple 'Bubba' gators, other folks have documented the incident where he was keeping 3-4 young alligators in a kiddy pool in the middle of the shop floor. He would feed them all at the same time, one got it's leg ripped off in the frenzy. Mysteriously all the gators except the injured one vanished, probably because it took a horrendous injury for him to realize it was a fucking bad idea.

All of this commentary is a combination of people who knew the guy and watched all his videos.

I mentioned this before but I'm so happy she made it on here. She thinks she's entitled to fly her bird at the park in front of dogs bc there's no "keep birds leashed" sign.. Are they just going to put up a sign for every animal that could potentially go to that park and be let off of a leash? No. Of course not.
I've been watching her many videos of her losing her birds in free flight or sending her macaw out to fly around dangerous situations and then blaming dogs for having the instinct to chase the bird. Is it really THAT hard to go to a place that doesn't have dogs or people around? Ffs, find a field or some shit. She even sent her bird out to fly while there was a fucking baseball game going on… She's going to get her beautiful young macaw killed, and it'll be no one's fault but her own. She's negligent af.

They made that enclosure after a few PetTubers called them out on their bad care of the crabs. Em had posted a picture of the hermit crabs in a small af tank with a thin layer of calcium sand and a tiny ass water dish with a sponge. A few people called her out and she changed it. But it was when Em first moved there, so it was clear that they were danny's and he was keeping them like that.

Brian is a bad influence to new members of the reptile community as well,I got my first ball python from him and firstly, he sent us the wrong year, we kept her because we didnt want to send her back but secondly she was also kinda dehydrayed and underweight, I used to think he was great watching his videos, but now know how poorly he treats his animals, like didnt he keep a monitor on his rack system?

I got my first snake from Brian several years ago, a corn snake. She was gorgeous, and I knew I didn't want to buy from a pet shop, but I also didn't know about expos, so I went with a breeder online and BHB was highly regarded but I also didn't know who Brian was, and it took me longer than it should have to connect the dots. She was fine for a year and a half, she was a great eater but never grew. Not at all. And then just died. I know some snakes do this, I've gotten another like that and the same thing happened; ate like a champ, never grew, died. Thought it was worth mentioning.

- Duck eats Styrofoam.
- Doesn't use turtle safe plants when replanting the turtle's enclosure. Because the turtle is a 'picky eater' so she 'wont touch them'.
- As seen before, owns alligator snapping turtle and common snapping turtle. Keeps them together.
- Keeps her red ear sliders in tiny enclosures. Excuses this by saying she gives them free roaming time.
- Has bred her turtles.

Also I'm increasingly getting the impression he really isn't too fond of Frank but can't get rid of him (like he did with Beans) because his fans love Frank so much. Hence Franks new position out of the way, under another tank. I don't buy the whole 'he'll have more attention there' or 'he has a great view of the gallery'.

Basically to emulate a healthy environment for it, it would be a million times easier to just let them have access to the outdoors. Ducks are very social, a minimum of 2 but ideally at least 3-4. Ducks should preferably have some form of water to bath in but contrary to popular belief don't need it 24/7. After constant walking on hard surfaces their feet may get abrasions and contract bumble foot. Flip side, their claws easily get snagged in carpets and cause injury. Ducks CAN NOT wear diapers due to infection, and they should NEVER have to sit and/or lay in their shit. They are very prone to infections and breathing issues. So the duck would need a very large and well-ventilated area if not the whole house. To be inside for a bit is fine, but living indoors full time I imagine would be very difficult to accomplish

The thing about having a free-roaming animal like a flying bird off your property is that her and the free-roaming animal don't have more privileges than others and their contained animals. And that's just the law (at least in the US). If, for example, her bird was flying around in public and flew into or close enough to a leashed dog that it was eaten, the dog owners could sue her for having to pump their dog's stomach out. She probably isn't required to leash her bird in areas where dogs must be, but she will also get no love from the courts if something were to happen to her free range bird in public.

I'd honestly never heard of parvo before but from what I've read from Google so far, puppies younger than hers should be vaccinated to prevent it.

If that is the case then that seems irresponsible, but I don't watch her videos much though so I don't know if she's claimed otherwise.

She says the puppies getting parvo isn't related to the other puppy's death and I don't know enough about it to disagree. From the symptoms she described poisoning sounds plausible, I hope she's able to find whatever that puppy got into before her other animals do.

Depends to be honest. You can vaccinate your dog to prevent it but he can still get parvo
Parvo is not always deadly if you take extensive care of your dog however most of the dogs who catch parvo die

No. 565068

>>565040
Actually that isn’t true. Working in an animal clinic for 4 years and seeing 30+ cases of parvo every year, we only had a small handful of deaths. It depends on how fast the owner reacts. If it goes without vet care or goes too long without vet care, yes, it’ll kill them. It has to run its course and while it does so the dog has to stay on fluids and meds to control vomiting. Vaccinating the dog as a puppy is extremely important but it’s only like a flu vaccine. It will build immunity but not prevent the virus. Plus just like with flu vaccines they generally only prevent against certain strains, your dog can get different strains of parvo. Plus, dogs of all ages can get parvo. They build immunity to it with age generally but it doesn’t make it impossible. I think it’s horrible her dog died. I feel the pain for her even though I do not like her personally, I don’t wish that pain on my worst enemy and I hope while she is grieving someone is able to help her with her pets.

But how can she ever claim that not only was breeding those dogs the right thing to do, but that she knew entirely what and how to handle any issues that might arise. A puppy is dead. Three others are sick. This is due to her idiocy. I would even say neglect too.

Even if she WAS paying special attention to those dogs, she’s got too many other animals to ever be able to truly spend enough time with any single species or individual. I and many others judged her from the start for byb those poor dogs, and what has happened was always worst case scenario when you do this shit. It happened. Sad for the dogs. Not sad for her.

Its absolutely horrible that her puppy died and the others are sick, but I don't feel sorry for her either. I really hope this is a wake up call for her because her hoarding is finally catching up to her. She has gotten at least 8 new pets (ball python, two sugar gliders, four chicks, gargoyle gecko) since the puppies were born, which was only 4 months ago. What else did she expect taking on 8 new pets in the span of 4 months while raising puppies on top of taking care of her other 40+ pets (some being very intelligent birds that need 5+ hrs of attention). Its unreasonable to expect anyone to be able to do that, even with the help of her husband.

While I 150% agree with you in the sense of not liking her or what she does or how she chooses to live, if what she says in her video is true as far as time frames go, she was on top of everything. The most well cared for dogs can get parvo (mine for example, followed all guidelines we preach at veterinary clinics, shots were never a day late, etc etc) but mine made it because I caught all symptoms early and it seems she did the same. We can’t prove she gave her dogs vaccinations but vaccinations don’t prevent anything. However the poisoning part, I feel as tho since she lets her dogs free roam which imho is very irresponsible, who knows where the dog went or what it got into. Or someone is baiting her dogs.

Even if she did get them vaccinations, she was letting them out in her yard before they would have been old enough for vaccines, and she mentions pretty often that a lot of the neighbor’s and stray dogs come into her yard all the time. Most likely it was in the dirt.

I wasn’t aware she preached that. For me, I think it’s ridiculous to keep a dog indoors 100% until its 16 weeks old. How will potty training go? Our clinic tells people not to take their puppies to the dog park where hundreds of other animals have been but never to not let the dog touch the ground. But we also tell people to not let their dogs run loose even if you have ___ acres of land it’s still dangerous.

Silent thread reader here. I’ve worked with Dan before at his old workplace. He did social media nd ed programs for a place called Rizzos. Thats not Dans gator its 100% Her name is Daffy and she lives (last I checked) at the center. Daffy (duck) because of her mishaped jaw. He’s actually quiet and a nice dude and Em was always super sweet. She painted the party room at work in secret for no money when the center first opened and had no money and she brought candy for the center employees from Britain. I never went to their house so I don’t know what it’s like but they’re both liked a lot round here. They did some free shows for the army vets but left Rizzos because of arguements over the care of the center animals. I can’t talk about it here just incase for legal reasons but lots of employees walked out with Dan and Em.

They’re all (ed program people) secretive. Rizzo, lizard guys, etc. Nobody shares the full list of animals because then your competitors know your set and can copy. Same I guess like magick shows and magicians and tricks.
Srsly though, I think maybe that’s just how they are rather than having anything to hide. The only other thing I can think of is that Dan got in trouble in Texas when he was arrested for exposing the cruelty at that Rattlesnake thing where they kill rattlers in a pit. It was (I think but not totally sure) because the roundup claimed to have only one type of permitted species but they actually poached protected rattlesnakes I think he has the footage on his old channel? Anyway he was arrested and the group who run the event it sent death threats to his house and made threats against his family. I think that’s why they moved because it was real bad trouble. He went back to Texas with an event to promote education and not killing the snakes and and the organisers of roundup came and threatened him and Em. I’m from Texas originally and down there people are crazy about killing snakes and they’re dangerous. Real redneck types. It’s so sad

I’ve personally never defended Emma because I don’t know shit about rabbits, but afaik Emma’s rabbits need to be bonded before they can all be transferred to a bigger setup, so one of hers is in a smaller temporary enclosure till then. To reiterate, I don’t know about bunnies, but that sounds about like quarantining fish/reptiles, sometimes putting them in more sparse setups until it’s safe to move forward.

This chick meanwhile thinks these setups are good, and is actively advertising to take in even more high maintenance animals too, like macaws and other parrots, large lizard species, etc. It’s clearly a bad mindset to have and will not benefit those animals already in her care.

i don't think 4x4 is enough space for two buns. maybe one, but that seems really small for two.

i have two bunnies who aren't bonded yet and they both have quite a bit of room. i fit an ikea bed, a soft cat bed, and a cat scratcher shaped like a couch in just one and there's still about twice as much room on the floor as there is taken up by all that plus the litter box and water bowl.

my only real issue with demi's set up is how fucking plain it is. my buns get bored even with the abundance of toys i buy them and she has literally nothing there. i'm assuming she hadn't added anything in there because she just rearranged, but the bunny cage looks like the least of our worries with this POS!

emma's cages on the other hand do seem a little on the small side, at least for the one bun. i understand that she's waiting until she can bond them all but i'm pretty sure expanding that xpen just a little bit wouldn't kill anybody(blogposting)

I agree, Emma has said that her pens are only temporary until she bonds the bunnies (and from experience it can be a really tricky process and can take a while). Although it is the minimum, she does say she thinks it’s too small and plans on making it a lot bigger once they’re bonded. Her bunnies also have hay whereas Demi’s don’t seem to which is SO bad. Also at least emma acknowledges she has enclosures to improve and so isn’t hoarding animals at the same time. Meanwhile this demi chick doesn’t seem to have any issue with her setup and continues to take in new animals when she can’t even care for the ones she has already.

I beg to differ though. She can claim she's not a hoarder all she likes but she downgraded her hedgehogs enclosure to put it into a storage rack to give her hamsters a new enclosure. She's also just got a new hamster by the looks of things on her twitter, which seeing as shes said in past videos shes struggling for space i dont know why she would go and get another one when shes most likely going to have to downgrade an animal to find room for the new one. That's hoarding to me.

No. 569165

File: 1525017634449.jpg (596.71 KB, 1268x720, emmasam.jpg)

I thought I'd demonstrate the issue I have by using screenshots. On the left is back in February.

The top photo is her hamsters, housed in two detolfs. Hamsters got downgraded to the bin cages on the left image because she wanted the space for a reef tank.

The bottom two images is her hedgehog enclosure back in february on the left, and on the right is her hedgehog enclosure now (which is the storage rack that her hamsters and mice are in so the hedgehog has the same sized enclosure as those), which she downsized so that she could put one of her hamsters back into a tank in the space that the hedgehog was previously in, because she recently got mice which needed to go into the place of her hamsters bin cage.

and now by the looks of her twitter shes just got a dwarf hamster, so who knows whos going to have to be downgraded to find a place for that.

My argument is, whether they're still reaching the minimum requirements or not (and by the looks of it just about) why should you only provide the minimum? why should you downgrade an animals enclosure in favor of making space for a new animal? how is that fair?

Yeah, this is my problem with pettubers in general.

If you're going to put yourself out there as a source of entertainment / knowledge about animals because you're an enthusiast. If you're going to get a shit tonne of animals. Why keep them in the bare minimum? Why promote the bare minimum? Why stretch yourself so thin that most of you animals probably don't get enough interaction from you?

The whole premise of getting animals for youtube is dumb af and should be stopped. No pettuber is 'good' or even 'acceptable'. Because they all promote this shit.

No. 569172

>>569171

I don't agree that all pettubers are shit, there are some that can control themselves and keep a select few animals that they go above and beyond for.

But it does seem to be a trend for the majority of them. They can claim they're not hoarding all they like, and maybe at this stage they're not, but it's certainly the early stages of something very concerning, when you downgrade an animals environment to make space for another (in my opinion if you don't have the space to begin with just don't even try to fit it in somewhere) or when they even rehome an animal in favor of getting another, that may not be hoarding but its definitely problematic.

No. 569173

>>569172
I disagree, often even the channels that start small with few well cared for animals go downhill. As soon as they get some publicity, they buy /more/ animals because then youtube becomes their 'full time job' and to grow they have to have more pets.

Pettube innately encourages animal buying, impulse buying and hording because that's what viewers reward. Most views aren't going to see the problems with these situations, because most views are likely uninformed about species they see and a good portion of pettube viewers are young.

You know all the elsagate shit that youtube spawned because that's what made money? Pettube is the animal version.

AKA they're not pets and so =/= pettube.

That said we 'know' Maddie is a 'rehabber' for a charity that was only set up in September of 2017 and only has her listed as 'social media advertiser' on their site. She doesn't seem to have much past experience in raising orphaned baby animals, so honestly I take all 'rehabber' claims with a pinch of salt.

I can’t stand this woman.

She’s not short on money and constantly splurges on expensive shit for herself. And then she leaves him in someone else’s care (he was still sick) while she went on a vacation. And let’s not forget she’s a racist POS

I don’t want Emzotic with any dog, but a senior would be the worst, imo. They need a lot of attention and care paid to them, especially if they have existing health conditions. Dogs need a lot, period.

Senior dogs are rarely treated as well as they should be. You see a lot of neglect in the senior dog population because people are too cheap or too stupid. It’s not a deadly neglect, not most of the time, but too much of the time their owners stop paying attention to them. Just because they sleep more doesn’t mean they stop enjoying their walks or playing or being brushed or even, you know, being talked to.

Ugh, sorry but I get pissy about this topic. I know a few people on this ‘I only rescue older dogs’ shit and I wish they weren’t, because they’re all really bad at it. They barely even hang out with them. It’s attention whorey and they’re shit people.

Pettubers have literally commented here before. I don't know why that makes me lifeless. FYI I'm not the one talking about how they look; I simply don't give a shit if other anons do. You shouldn't give a shit either.

>>572263
If you barely keep up with these people, why are you here? Just because there are worse people doesn't mean that other pettubers can't be criticised. All the ones here (with exception of parrot lady), hoard far too many animals… upwards of 30 pets usually. All of them promote this as acceptable… and unsurprisingly as a result a good portion of them have large holes in their care as a result.

You might think BYB rats, keeping pigeons/doves in small cages, keeping wild birds, keeping two betta fish together, keeping rabbits in tiny cages, keeping snakes in tiny tubs with no stimulation, letting their pets get sick through poor quarantine etc etc etc is all fine.

Many people don't.


>>572275

This is a board to criticise pet care. And guess what, that means /every/ pettuber can be criticised. Most of the population has shit pet care, when someone with a public platform promotes minimum standards that many people with experience think is cruel… yeah, folks are going to talk. If they give out wrong information, or promote kits that are bad for the animals in their care… yes people are going to talk. If they smear their miscarriage blood on their ferrets nose, take a picture of it and /then/ post that picture to the internet… yes people are going to go wtf and talk.

When you post your life online in a public way, don't be surprised when people talk about it.

>>572278

Back before when this board was new when people were only talking about the major issues pettubers dismissed it all as a 'hate site'. See Em's tweets. This site will never be taken seriously in that regard wether it should be or not. The only time Pettubers came here they came to 'defend' themselves from the 'mean' hate. Only one pettuber even seemed to listen to any of the critiques.

They are not trying very hard to listen to people's concerns… half the comments here are about how they're flippant and dismissive when it comes to concerns. Some are outright hostile or rude.

>>572279

If you don't like the comments on appearance; ignore them. So far, there's been like… one or two. This is not a systematic problem here. Stop trying to make it one.

As much as I hate Brian I kind of don't disagree with him calling out Em for being a hypocrite. The fact that she sticks up for Taylor after she abandoned the panel and the meetup /and/ used her animals as props like Brian, only shows more obviously she just wants to appeal to TND's fans and leech off them. When TND sinks (and that is a when not an if), she'll be there with 'content' to gather the masses because she was nice to TND.

It's sad. I'd honestly respect Em a lot more if she'd start actually denouncing the shit Taylor does. Not just throwing subtle shade on twitter or whatever. Doing so only makes her look two faced and uncaring about said animals.

Actually, I'd say there isn't a difference, or in fact what Taylor did was worse. I mentioned this on the taylor thread but no one seems interested, but she drove 18 hours with her animals to vidcon, kept them in cat carriers in her hotel room, and took her ball python to a party and placed it on drunk youtubers. So shes just as bad, what's really irritating is the double stardards Emzotic has with this situation, but apparently its okay for Taylor to do this because taylor is 'young'

No. 572834

Em's put up a new video.

Summary:
-She's still trying to breed her doves but now only wants one baby.
-She denies being a BYB.
-She says she won't breed them again if this attempt fails and all further eggs will be fed to a Tegu (she said monitor lizard last time, perhaps she meant Tegu all along). She also mentions someone being very upset about her feeding her eggs to the Tegu but defends the practice.
-She is building an outdoor aviary for the doves and Grinchy. Grinchy's is larger.
-She is worried about wildlife so might be using it during the day only.
-She is still looking for a companion for Grinchy.
-She doesn't want to give him to a Zoo because she thinks that a Zoo will only take it and keep him at the back in a small cage / not treat him well.
-She needs to DNA sex him so she can get an appropriate companion. She doesn't want to breed him.
-She might get a different hornbill because his species is hard to find that isn't wild caught.
-She introduces her Skunk which she says is a 'true rescue'.
-She plans to do a Skunk care/diet video.
-The Skunk was living in a petshop after being given up by her owner (who was made homeless and then couldn't keep the skunk when he found housing).




IMHO: Overall this video was much better. I'm glad she seems to be listening to the comments here; it seems very clear she reads this thread as half of her video is very directed to a lot of the stuff anon's have been saying. Also very glad her doves and Grinchy are finally getting appropriate enclosures. The only thing I can think to say about them is that I hope she builds an 'indoor' aka sheltered area on the doves aviary so they can stay out and don't have to always be brought back inside. I'm also glad she's thoroughly animal proofing it.

No. 572856

You could definitely tell she was walling on egg shells throughout the entire video, and has taken a lot of criticism seriously.
Was anyone else a little confused by her story vs Danny's story about getting the skunk? Danny said that the skunk had been with the pet store for about 8-9 months and they don't know much about the owner. But then Emz says the previous owner entrusted the skunk to them through the pet store. So do they know the previous owner if he entrusted Emz/Danny to take care of it? And if so, why did it take them 8-9 months to adopt it from the pet shop?

No. 572866

>>572856
Yeah, there's still some issues with the buying of yet more animals. I've adopted pets from pet stores before; usually they have little adoption corners (run by a NFP) including pets brought back to the store for behavioural issues, or older animals that no longer have a home etc etc. However if it's anything like my experience; the pet store probably told them about the previous owner (to which they had little to no contact) and they had to actively look for the animal to adopt.

From the sounds of it, they weren't just given this animal any more than anyone who goes to a dog shelter and adopts a dog isn't given one. They actively sought the animal out + probably paid adoption fees etc to get it.

It's a bit like with Grinchy… she saw him in a pet store and 'rescued him'. I honestly think the best plan for him might be to find someone else already keeping a hornbill, rather than buy another (different species) to keep him company.

She also mentions getting a dog again this video. I really hope she doesn't… she has a lot of time consuming pets, she didn't need a Skunk, she certainly doesn't need a dog. Honestly I've got my fingers crossed the doves don't breed either… she doesn't need 3 birds. If there's an issue with working them, work them less… they're animals, pets you care about. If your business involves them, then that might just have to involve saying 'no' to events too if you're fully booked.

I don’t think your point of sayingjo to work is valid. I go on outread and we don’t turn down work because animals have high overheads. Also we don’t know much about her private life of it she has debt or anything else. I’m amazed she only works them twice a week and I love that she specified not 2 consecutive days.
I’m going to recommend this to my manager.

I also don’t agree with the dog comment. If you can adequately care for 50 animals, I say fine. Everyone is different. Otherwise it becomes a finer pointing competition of who actually needs an animal. None of us do. I bet there are people who would say even 1 animal is cruel and unnecessary - even dogs and cats.

No. 572881

God I hope she doesn't get a dog. She already has so many incompatible animals sharing the same space (ex the hornbill and kookaburra, the ferrets and doves). She does not have the space, let alone time, to raise and train a puppy. A puppet deserves more than that, and her current animals deserve more than what they have. If even Danny is putting his foot down on the puppy, you know its a bad idea.

No. 572886

Saying 'no' to work is hugely important if you work with animals. If you can't say no to work, then you shouldn't be working with animals in the first place. The fact she doesn't work her doves more than 2 times a week is good. But that means you have two times a week to book those animals out; it doesn't mean you buy/breed etc more animals to fill the void when you already have a lot of animals and it's a business run out of a home (aka there are only two adults to deal with said animals care).


As far as the dog goes; they have a lot of animals that need attention, that need care. I used to own a dog, dogs take up a lot of your time. ~4 Walks a day, interaction time, training time.. etc. Reptiles and inverts might not need human time so much (although good keepers will still give them it); but they have 2 chinchillas, 2 ferrets, 1 skunk, 1 hornbill, 2 doves, a kookaburra etc. that all can't be out at the same time as the dog and have their own needs and demand for human interaction. There are not enough hours in the day to be able to ethically get a dog in her position.

Unless you're keeping inverts, an ant colony or something; 50 pets is too many for 1-2 people. You end up with people keeping snakes in tiny tubs or animals that are untrained and wary of human interaction at those numbers. No one here is saying 1 animal is cruel… this isn't PETA, this forum is filled with a lot of common sense in regards to numbers folks keep.

Finding a dog in a rescue that will be able to tolerate other pets (especially the skunk which is free ranging atm?) can be hard. I don't know much about shelters in the US but I guess they still list if the animal is fine/not fine with other animals, normally a fair amount of dogs aren't, and even then you never really know how they may react to a bird or a skunk or a ferret.

Whichever way you look at it, she's playing a dangerous game, nothing could be worse than adopting a dog that is anxious around your other animals and having to possibly return them.

(There is also some speculation that she could be pregnant so there may be that to consider also)

I've been thinking she might be pregnant too!

The first thing that made me think this was reminiscing about her miscarriage, which most women probably do but I imagine finding out you're pregnant again will bring it all to the surface again.

She also said to Tyler on twitter that she was going to be at the gynaecologist in London at the time of the pet youtuber meet up, I guess health care is free in the UK so she would have the baby there instead of the US.

Also there was a snapchat of her at playlist and a certain angle she looked like she was showing - but i won't judge just on that lol

When you can’t even tell that a skink is dead and you flip it around on camera and show it off. Ffs if it were alive you still shouldn’t pick it up. I hope she removed the body and realized it was dead.

out of all the bad practices at bhb, theyre method of feeding confuses me the most. theres no way a skink can be healthy when fed just dry food. also brian dis a whole video about how hes only ever fed live once and then couldnt stand the thought of doijg it again, but he feeds all the newborn snakes live, then tries to convert them to f/t and claims to be upset when some of them wont switch to f/t?? how about not feeding them live to start with? that mans really disgusting and has no logic

Lots of snakes would starve to death rather than eat live right out of the egg/mother. It's common practice to do live and then switch to f/t. Although it is definitely possible for a neonate to eat f/t right off the bat, but less common. I don't agree with bhb's practices, but some snakes just won't eat f/t from the egg, such as hognoses.

They're in their natural habitat where they're supposed to be and it clearly isn't a puddle. And then he throws them somewhere with a shit ton of moving water, when they're supposed to be in relatively stagnant water. And he shoved his hand on them, kept them in a tiny bucket, and generally disturbed the shit out of them. He sounds retarded for most of the video. This actually makes me angry. A good percentage of tadpoles are supposed to die, thats why there is so many at once. Has this guy never watched National Geographic?

He's just wanking himself off to the idea of "saving baby frogs" while actually doing something really fucking stupid.

And it's a little unfair to make jokes about her wanting a child when she's suffered miscarriages in the past and possibly struggles to become pregnant and keep the pregnancy. So maybe stay away from that area. I'm not defending her for the saw/skunk thing, but there are people who let their kittens play with strings even though those can hurt them. And we don't make jokes about them "desperately wanting a human baby". Seriously just stay away from the baby thing, that's probably quite sensitive for her considering her past issues with carrying a child to term.

>She is building an outdoor aviary for the doves and Grinchy. Grinchy's is larger.

This makes me so happy. I love that she's setting a better standard. I have been really harsh on her before on here (rightfully so, I believe). This is such a step in the right direction. I know she is concerned with safety, but there are ways to prevent any danger. And the space will be well worth it. Normally this thread bums me out, thinking about all the poor animals getting mistreated. But now I'm in a better mood thinking of the space her birds will have.

The doves and Grinchy will be separated, right?

No. 573451

>>573398
Yes. She did mention keeping them together as they'd 'get on', but settled on separate as the doves would eat Grinchy's food and get sick.

Honestly I don't care about the reasoning as long as they are kept separate and have decent housing. From the looks of it, it won't be as big as the image you linked maybe not even quite half the size; but it will be an improvement for sure…. provided of course she doesn't keep bringing them inside for fear of wild animals. I understand the concern, but animal putting effort/concern into animal proofing would be far more useful. Concrete floors etc.

>>573506
The main point all along was that she could possibly be pregnant and the people even said its SPECULATION. Someone then mentioned that she had a miscarriage in the past and the reasons this could explain her slight meltdown on Twitter etc ect. No one said anything rude, if anything I hope she is able to have her own kids but she does have to consider the well being of her pets. Even if not all of us have had kids, we can probably understand that a human child that wakes up and cries in the night or day will require a lot of work and cause a lot of stress. Bringing in a dog at that time could be a very bad idea, especially if it's a rescue with potential behavioural problems that have not been seen by the shelter.

Em says she owns up to her mistakes but she never owned up for the betta video.

Did she move grinchies enclosure in the ferret room? We could hear him and she talked to him in the video.

What bothers me about her videos is how little we always see. It's usually the youtubers that show the least that have the worst to hide. For example, TNDs place is super messy/gross (as seen in her snapchats before) and we see very little because of it.

On the other hand look at Jennie from solid gold. Her life is still private but we saw the living room, kitchen, the old office, the fishroom, the yard..ect. Everything seems nice and fairly neat..even when she is working on the fishroom and it's a mess we see. It's that bit of transparency that makes me trust a youtuber more.

Fuck how many of us are still tweeting the deans and dealing with their stans to try and get shit done?

It doesn't even have to be Taylor, I don't really watch the pet tube community anymore but I have a felling youtube comments have their fair share of call outs per channel.

I have no hope for this community, it's like I'm watching a high school drama were girls are just going back and forward with vague insults cause all of them are actually to fucking scared to confront anyone.

I really do believe even if Em or any other pettuber wanted to say something against Taylor they can't. I mean yeah they could, but that would be self-sabotage for their own channel. Taylor has the biggest (and probably most aggressive regards defending her) fandom in the pet community so if Em or the others speak up against her, it will definitely cause them huge backlash and lose them lots and lots of subscribers since likely they share 90% of the same audience. So it's smart of Em not to speak out against Taylor at this point, she would be kinda stupid if she did and killed her own channel this way.

I’m just gonna go ahead and come out and say that I made the first video about taylor and her monitor. Since I am a really tiny channel the amount of fans that flocked to my video was overwhelming, hence the amount of dislikes and comments. When I first posted the video my sub count dropped but it recovered within a day and in terms of how my channel is doing, it’s like I never even posted the video. The amount of likes and dislikes is almost exactly the same now. I can’t speak for bigger channels bc they probably do share a lot of the same audience as taylor but I encourage smaller channels to speak the fuck up. Nothing is going to change if everyone stays silent. I get that it’s a numbers game for some of you but why do you care? Youtube is an unstable source of income. At the end of the day it’s about the animals, not how much people like you. So for those of you that are worried about your channel taking a hit, chill. It’s not a big deal. People will forget about it soon enough but the more people there are speaking up about this, the more people will be deterred from becoming a fan in the first place. Most of her audience doesn’t know jack shit about animals and the people that go onto my video and defend her literally have no clue what they’re talking about. This isn’t even strictly for taylor. If you see something wrong SPEAK UP because it could literally save lives. I’m so sick of everyone in the online pet community letting this shit slide. It’s ugly.

they definitely can, youtube does not matter in the slightest. anyone who doesnt want to call her out bc it would affect their income needs a wake up call bc relying on youtube as a sole source of income is ridiculous its so unsustainable. if theyre not using youtube as a main source of income then they should have no issue calling her out, they should care more about animals suffering than their own "fame" (if u could even call it that, pet youtubers are completely irrelavent). theyre selfish theyres no excuse for them acting all buddy buddy w her.

I'm taking a leap of faith on this since I'm not sure if ants can be considered pets. But AntsCanada (whom I'm usually a pretty big fan of) did something really fucking dumb this time. Basically he has one ant enclosure with semi-aquatic ants, and he put a crayfish in there to keep population down so the population doesn't just keep rising. But then, for seemingly no reason at all (he even admits he researched and found they were solitary creatures), he gets another crayfish and tries to breed them. All of this could have been avoided by a quick google search.

>not nearly enough room for two extremely territorial crayfish
>only one hiding spot
>he drops the intruding male from a decent height
>stunned male keeps getting attacked by female and has nowhere to hide

>almost dies by ants because this guy wanted to make some romantic bs video
Also
>the female crayfish he had in there was actually a male

Damn fuck me.

Once he started making mixed enclosures (not sure what they're called) I sort of didn't feel right. From what I know, he has little to no experience with fish/other aquatic beings which is fine as long as you don't start jumping into a territory with no research and know basic/above basic shit.

Summary:

-Clarifies the story with the previous owner. Says they had zero contact with owner, only through petstore who told them the story. Also pet store apparently asked them if they wanted to adopt the skunk (first in line) sort of thing.
-States the skunk is bred in captivity and isn't WC.
-Lots of Skunk facts.


She doesn't talk about though how her skunk is de-scented and how that is a cruel practice. Something that would have been useful to mention as a. it was already done before they got the animal and b. is a law in their state.

In the UK it's illegal to descent a skunk because it's cruel. In the US, some states require it.

It's along the same lines as declawing a cat. Illegal in EU because it's cruel; required in the US by some landlords etc.

No. 579596

I know why declawing a cat is cruel. But how is descenting a skunk cruel? I thought it was the same as descenting a ferret.

No. 579643

>>579596
Descenting a ferret is also considered cruel in the UK and also banned.

It's cruel because it's an unnecessary operation that actually can lead to an animal being without it's natural defences if it ever needed them. ie. Escaped cats need claws, like ferrets or skunks would their scent glands. In a home environment skunks should never be scared enough to spray. Neutering/spaying will have much more effect (especially in a male) on any normal body scent than descenting anyway too. There are also potential side effects from descenting; rectal prolapse is a major one.

Here's the position of the American Ferret Association on descenting: http://www.ferret.org/read/statements.html (they strongly oppose it)


All in all I'm probably missing some things as I don't keep skunks and am not an expert. But imho it's probably a bit more like debarking a dog. There are risks involved with the surgery and it's an unnecessary operation for human convenience, little more. Will a debarked dog live an awful life? Probably not if it's care is otherwise good. Is it cruel and unnecessary? Yes.

No. 579953

>>579643
when she lived in the uk she had an unscented skunk. she has never mentioned that descenting is cruel and unnecessary.

maybe this is a reach, but imo she doesnt talk about unnecessary cruelty to animals bc shes pro animal welfare rather than pro animal rights. she actively slanders animal rights campaigns online and spreads misinformation rather than remaining neutral on thr matter in the public eye, and this is no surprise after seeing how she treats animals in her care. i lurked thru her twitter and wasnt surprised in the least to see that she said ara's are against caring for pets, when that's completely untrue (as a believer in animal rights). she just does whatever benefits her and brings profits, and if thats saying "oh but its fine bc he cant spray me w smelly stuff i took that ability away from him lol", she'll say it, and thus promote/normalise it. we know she cares more about social status and fame than animal care, thats obvious by her interactions w tnd. her animal care barely even needs to be examined bc she's defending + promoting god awful husbandry. idk if the lack of milk is making me ramble but shes really driving me up the wall since that betta video

No. 579980

>>579953
Both the betta and bearded dragon videos were awful and I don't think she should have got another pet (the skunk) in the first place. However; as she mentioned it was the law in her state. I can't blame her for descenting the skunk as it was certainly done far before she got her hands on it (either by the original owner or the petshop to enable them to sell it). I know she said she was going to mention it in her other pet care video… but honestly it might have been useful in this one too. It also you know might have been useful to never get the skunk and thus support such a cruel practice… but you know….

As for her not having a descented skunk in the UK. Was that with her work? I know she had a ferret (that obviously would have not been descented either).

>she just does whatever benefits her and brings profits


Tbh All animal based businesses are run like this to one extent or the other. She works her animals two days a week, but that's still two days of stress on the animals one way or the other. I honestly don't think those 'party' zoos / 'home visit' zoos etc. can possibly be ethical.

Face it. She ‘drives you up the wall’ because she’s at least got the guts to upload and keep going despite knowing she’s being watched. I didn’t like her Betta video at all but I think it speaks volumes that she removed it and apologized. As for the bearded dragon video, it’s widely boycotted to use the substrates she used, but in the EU forums it seems lots of people use wood chip bark or similar. I mean, give the girl a break. It’s not easy to move country and learn a different set of rules. She’s no freaking saint and I think she’s got a lot of growing to do, but I like her over a lot of the other pet channels. Her creature features are good. Also - Obviously she does things for money because it’s her job. Heck, I’m surprised she hasn’t sold out more. Her marketing potential is mega (marketing is what I study) and I see more good in her channel than bad. I don’t see abuse. I see room for improvement (but all the channels have room for it) but there’s not cruelty.

> It’s not easy to move country and learn a different set of rules

This is not about 'rules' as much as it is about general husbandry. Yes, husbandry opinions differ from country to country, but UK generally has some of the 'better' if not the 'best' animal welfare laws and outlooks. That being said, she promoted something she knew was wrong for the sake of promoting it and then DEFENDED it. She was promoting wrong husbandry to people that watch her. You can't even defend that.

>I don’t see abuse.

She's said a lot of shady shit previously, and we haven't seen a lot of her animals. Yes, someone here defended that by saying that it's a work thing and it would be a bit like suicide to reveal it (which I can agree with) but at the same time, some of the shit she comes out with is concerning - keeping Bearded Dragon in a 'temporary' and 'dark' enclosure (there's a thread discussing this somewhere), the whole breeding thing (meaning we have no clue how many snakes they have and how they're bred). We don't have to know everything but she's definitely not a saint as you view her to be.

There is a big difference between having room to grow and promoting the wrong care.

No. 580391

Before she apologized for the betta video, she first threw a hissy fit over people calling her out. It's all in the beginning of the last thread if you want to check back. She would have never removed the video or apologized if not for everyone catching her in her lies about breeding them, calling out her misinformation on cycling (literally the first step in fish keeping), and forcing an otto into solitary confinement from its own species. We still don't know whatever happened to those fish, or if they are even alive.

People can bitch that all this thread does is hate on pettubers, but now pettubers know they are being watched and standard of care is being set. If it wasn't for this site, Emzotic would probably still have that better video up. We also wouldn't have this recent influx of "upgrading my pets cage!" videos from every other pettuber.

No. 580404

Hell tbh I don't think she ever apologised or said what she did was wrong. She removed the video but was still preaching 'I know what I'm doing so I didn't explain every step, I was tots breeding them and bred betta before lol'.

Chances are those fish aren't doing too well… even without the presence of another betta and the otto on its own, the amount of stress in that tank from; no cycle, high flow, no high resting places for betta etc. means that the fish likely suffered from initial illness. It's anyone's guess as to if they're still alive. It can take a lot to kill a betta… The otto, I don't have much hope for.

Yes, it’s hard and time consuming but you’re not even trying to do it.

She’s got a pair and then a single bunny. She’s made NO effort to bond. She never speaks of a “job” whatsoever.

Just the barest minimum, much like her enclosures.

I think you can be technically an adult and still have a lot of growing up and maturing to do. Unfortunately she already has so many animals and appears to still be interesting in getting more, which sucks because a lot of these animals have a long lifespan. At 18 I thought I was going to make a living in music lol but luckily none of the instruments and books I hoarded at that time had lifespans or care requirements to speak of.

Just dk how well she'll handle being stuck with so many long lived reptiles and mammals in 5 years when she might want to do something else, or in 10 years when her life takes a different turn. At her age you always think something you're interested in will last forever, but then sometimes reality happens and that's my biggest concern for her animals.

To me this is concerning. It looks like shes trying too hard to show that she 'free roams her rabbits' by nightly, thats assuming she does this every night, however no one has the time to set up a pen like this in the middle of their living room every day.

She also claims to free roam her rabbits every day, as an excuse for keeping them in tiny bare minimum cages. However in her recent video 'training her rabbits' or whatever it was called, the rabbits were clearly uncomfortable, slipping all over the floor, and looked on edge all the time, not something you'd expect if they were being free roamed in that room all the time. She also has loose wires everywhere, which if you bunny proofed a room in order to free roam them every day like they need, it wouldn't be that way.

So i call bullshit on her free roaming them every day, in that room, and also no ones going to set a pen up like this for them everyday. Which is why I have such an issue with the size of her rabbit cages.

Not defending her, but it’s very hard to physically tell if a rabbit has been spayed or not just through a typical “wellness check” since all their reproductive organs are internal. Typically the only way to tell would be through an ultrasound, which isn’t typically done as part of a routine wellness check.

If rabbits are bonded at a young age, before being fixed, it’s a very easy bond. They won’t be aggressive to eachother. Young rabbits are the absolute easiest to bond, and as long as they’re kept together, this bond will last their whole life, so no, It most likely would not be aggressive towards the other rabbit.

Again, I’m not defending her, but I’ve workes with rabbits for multiple years now and there’s a lot more to them, and to the bonding process than just “hormones are hormones”

If you adopt a rabbit and are told that it has been fixed, most people will just take their word for it. Most people won’t go out of their way to get an ultrasound done just to comfirm it, so I don’t really blame her for not knowing.

Thing is, I'm sure you could clean all your cages / change water / food. In around 4 hours a day.

However that excludes things like meal prep (having everyone on dried petstore nuggets instead), it excludes cage cleaning time which doesn't have to happen every day, but still should be taking place multiple times a week, and also importantly it excludes interaction time.

Pets need time outside their cages, they need time to bond with their owner and to get some needed mental stimulation.

my problem with emma and her rabbits lies in the fact that she just doesn't seem to interact with them. if she truly does let them out to run around then i can excuse the small cages, only because she says she's getting bigger enclosures for them. but it just irks me how little she seems to know about her buns. it's like she did a quick google search about rabbits as pets and regurgitates the info to her followers. i don't follow her closely so i'm not sure how often she talks about them, it just seems like she doesn't care about them much. i could be wrong.

maria is that you? my rabbits have white feet and they're clean as a whistle.

it's called not changing the litter often enough. rabbits can get urine scald, and it's especially concerning/more likely to be an issue when their feet look like that. look at those fucking nails too.

Whole point is that rabbits shouldn't spend exess time in their litterboxes, hopping in and out to pee is not going to stain the feet that badly.

she bought her rabbit one of those small two floor hutches and said it's twice as much room as he had before that. this cage is only 2 feet wide and 3.5 feet long. it has two stories, but that really means nothing to me. that doesn't give the rabbit room to move around

so basically he was living in one of those tiny petsmart rabbit cages until last week. no wonder his feet are bright yellow. his litter box probably took up half of his living space.

she also says this is the flooring she uses because the hutch didn't come with one. what i understood from this exchange was that she's trying to put a litter tray underneath the bottom and this is the floor, so that the whole cage is basically a litter box because apparently he stopped using his. so not only does he have bright yellow feet and overgrown nails, he's probably going to have awful sore hocks as well.

I'm siding with the "that's not normal" anons. My friend has rabbits and the one with white feet never looks this bad. Maybe a very slight discoloration sometimes at most, but never this obviously filthy. That's not normal and the extremely overgrown nails are also a sign of neglect. It's bad for their feet and can deform their paws/toes if left that way for too long.

>>582509
>>582610
The two story would be fine as a house if she actually allowed him to free roam. But with it's uneasiness, it seems unlikely. Also, if she'd just trim the poor things nails, it would slid a lot less on the flooring. At the very least she should put down a cheap rug or mat, even cardboard would be better for hi than the wood flooring.

>>582612
What the hell. Does he not have any bedding in his hutch then either? The fact that he entirely stopped using his litterbox is a bad sign too.

more like:
pour urine in absorbent litter tray, briefly tap silky fur cloth against litter, then rub cloth with warm saliva and wet tongue for a prolonged time.

And then, if the rabbit's self-cleaning doesn't work, there are literal cleaning wipes and other products for the owner to wipe the feet down as necessary. A tiny, tiny amount of staining is normal or unavoidable but here is no reason for her rabbit's feet to look that bad.

to be fair, she doesn't have an actual job so she's probably home a lot. she would have plenty of time to let him free roam while supervised. taking that into consideration, though, it's almost WORSE that his feet and nails look so bad.

she posted a "cleaning my animal's cages" video and you can see more of her rabbit setup. i didn't see any toys, i can't tell if there's anywhere soft for him to rest, and he takes up about a fourth of the cage. she opens two big bags of stuff so i think there might be litter in one part of the top floor but other than that it's wood floor or fence flooring with big holes in it. her dad also does half the cleaning for her lol

This one is so desperate for attention. Taylor shut her down yesterday via Twitter, so today she’s after Tyler’s attention. I had high hopes for Emma back when she did her own thing, but now it’s obvious she’s playing the popularity game, and losing.

I’m so fucking sick of people being accused of being Emma just coz they point out you clearly don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. Hi, not Emma. Also different anon to the other. But bunny bonding is complex. Knowing whether your rabbit is intact or not does not determine how good your ownership is. Yes the cage is too small, and she should have assumed bonding would be simple. But she also didn’t know one of them was still intact.

She does repeat herself, but overall her video was still actually pretty informative, it wasn’t just “they have a lot of colors”.

Not white knighting, but hamsters barely live 1-1/2 to 2 years. From what I’ve seen, she’s rescued hamsters and so there is no exact age identified or guarantee how long they will live. Her care seems almost extravagant in the cage sizes and attention she spends. She clearly loves them and gives them a good life while she can. The last two were from old age and a believed tumor. Sounds like she even went to the vet. Unfortunately bad genetics runs rampant in hamster breeding.

I follow her too. If memory serves correct, only 1 escaped and had a trauma. She quickly accepted responsibility and ensured all her cages had escape proof lids. That was quite some time ago! Maple was rescued from a bad home, showed no signs of anything wrong and just passed away. Basil (the grump) was almost a year and a half and that’s normal. The most recent, Bear, pardon me, Little Bear appears to have had a tumor. She said she went to the vet because he was bloated and it wasn’t a blockage because he was pooping. Did you even watch her video about it?

No. 585160

>>585110

I noticed it too, I think to anyone that isn't along term subscriber, it would probably appear concerning, and maybe even 'worthy' of being mentioned on here. However, as a subscriber, its evident that she goes above and beyond to care for her hamsters, its just really bad luck that she appears to have lost them close together.

It's also worth noting that she rescued most (if not all? im not sure) of them from either adoption centers or people that no longer wanted them, which sadly means their genetics and health is super unpredictable, as is their actual age. I think it may appear as though she 'only just got' little bear, but some people might be forgetting that he was in a home beforehand so he wasn't a baby when she got him.

She doesn't brush it under the rug when they pass, and theres plenty of evidence to suggest that she does everything in her power to prevent it (vet trips etc) so i dont think its really worth discussing here.

No. 585167

>>585133

nevermind the fact that both parties could potentially injure each other. Sure they were being supervised, but the ferret was trying to bite the goat, and im sure a headbutt would be enough to injure it back.

She shouldn't be promoting interspecies interactions between animals, it serves no purpose or benefit to the goat, and is just more harm than good just for a video.

Yes I’ve noticed quite a few of her hamsters have died, I watch her sometimes but with so many other pettubers who have more interesting content I’ve kind of drifted. But she has lost quite a few. I don’t like to speculate on why they have died but it’s something to notice that other pettubers like HamyLux, Loris Hartland, Pickles and other’s hamsters usually live their full lives 1.5-2yrs. So why do none of hers? Idk it’s something I did notice. Either way…rip babies.

Is this even milk? Does she abuse or mistreat her hamsters? Make cruel videos tossing them in the air? Keep them locked in tiny cages in a closet?

Ok. Some of his care requires attention, no doubt. But as for his chickens, they weren’t free ranged. They were in a coop that a predator managed to breach. This happens to lots of chicken owners. He had since reinforced the coop. Let that one rest.

As for Emma and her cronies, there’s lots of shit in their care too. Little Lori rescues stink bugs and that drawl is most annoying. Can’t listen to her for 2 seconds. Pickles uses the rest for self promotion and does nothing for anyone that doesn’t benefit herself.

I think this thread is honestly just such a mess because so many different people get discussed here. Someone's bound to be a subscriber of someone that gets mentioned and get upset when their 'fave' is being featured. I think a lot of channels have cross over subscribers that enjoy both their channels and since so many YouTubers have been hinting at this thread there's a lot of stans on here

No. 585618

Most of the people discussed here don't make videos tossing their animals in the air, that doesn't mean they shouldn't be discussed for poor care. She might be doing everything right, but having so many young hamsters pass in such a short time at least deserves to be looked at. That is if we actually care about the animals welfare

She needs to work on her charisma, but she is a very nice girl, active in many animal communities, helps a lot of other people with their pets, and only takes in rescues.

talkin of pet care, in Tyler’s recent video he says his room gets sooooo hot he doesn’t need a heater for his hedgehog, he says 80oF yet he has a Crested Gecko in the room. If I remember rightly 80 is the max temp for Crested Gecko. They can die above that, anyone else pick up on that

it's so fucking annoying that they come here and encourage the drama. i don't mind talking about the drama once in a while, because it's kinda fun, but they bitch about it and then instigate by replying and pretending to be a viewer (and it's so obvious they aren't).

this website isn't solely for discussing animal care. go to any other thread and it's the same as it is here: people talking shit about other people. that's literally what this site is for. (i pretty much only follow this thread because animal care is something i care deeply about.)

it's funny that they're so pressed about us talking so much shit. that's what the site is for. sometimes i get really irritated that they never stop lurking on here, but other times i'm like…wow. y'all are really asking for all this shit. they won't take any of our advice, they make fun of us all over social media to make it look like we're all the biggest assholes, then act like they're better than us…but they won't stay the fuck away from this thread and stop talking shit about other tubers. just as "bad" as us.

I saw her there. Didnt realize it was her. I felt her prices were high.
Texas is very lenient on laws regarding animals. It only cost $60 to get a venomous animal handling permit and you can buy a Rattlesnake for as low as $20.

There were plenty of people there who obviously shouldnt be breeding animals.It is obvious people only do it for the money. Everything was overpriced. That expo was a huge disappointment.

Wanted to get your thoughts on a guy called Exotics Lair. He mostly does videos on Tarantulas but he has reptiles and other inverts as well. 2 months ago he posted this video where he states he has 83 Tarantulas but he does unboxing videos pretty frequently so this dude seems like a hoarder. In his feeding videos it seems like he stresses them out a lot to get reactions for the camera too.

So Tyler made a video that talks about the 'problems' in the pet community on youtube. (5min mark).

No surprises he whines about the fact that pettubers are compared with one another and that they bitch about each other behind each others backs. Somehow that's fans pitting them against each other. Also complains that people expect pettubers to comment on 'drama' (aka call out bad animal care) because that isn't their 'responsibility'.

Basic BS.

She started out by basically saying "I don't know who you are" to Maddie, which was obviously shady af since it shouldn't matter who she is, just that she cares that she's being a total fck and backyard breeding her dogs. More people should care that she backyard bred her shitty mutt dogs. She wasn't provoked at all, especially not originally by Maddie.

Tyler has addressed some of Taylor’s drama and basically said there’s more to a lot of it than she shares with the internet.

Similar to how Maddie commented on Meghan’s video a simple question about her backyard breeding corgi mutts.

On the same live stream someone asked what he thought of TND and he hesistantly went ‘she’s umm nice’ and did an obvious awkward grit your teeth grin.

i just started finished this video. "he stopped going in his litter box idk why!'!!" maybe because half his fucking cage is his litter box and he doesn't know where to go? "he's so healthy idk why he's having these problems!!!" oh honey. come on. she also says he's not sitting in his own poop and pee because that would be cruel. how the fuck are his feet so yellow and how does he have poopy butt then? my rabbits have literally never had a problem with it and one of them is white, so it would be super obvious if his paws were piss yellow. i get that some bunnies just have trouble cleaning themselves, but she even said he doesn't go in his "litter box" (aka the top half of the cage) anymore, so i'm just wondering how it got this bad for her bun.

ill give her credit for owning up to her mistake, but i know she was warned previously (by me) about that stupid floor. and the way she apologizes is just kinda weird. she says she's a good bunny mom because her last bunny lived until it was 13 so she "knows how to care for them," but you'd think she would know after 13 years that you don't keep a rabbit on a floor like that. she also said noodles's old cage was half the size of this one, so god knows how those buns suffered

Did anyone see Leopard Gecko's new video of setting up feeder insects?
She puts the insects on pine bedding (which is toxic to reptiles). Feeder insects are known to eat their substrate, which is why most people put them on edible substrates. After all, what your feeder insects eat is what your reptile is eating.
A pettuber (PugPibbleHedgie) commented about this and she [Leopard Gecko] shut it down saying that they eat a variety of things in the wild. In the wild, they aren't setting directly on shredded pine all day, they would be scavenging and maybe get a wee bit of pine or cedar but nothing like setting right on pine shavings all day.
She also said she doesn't use oats because of the phytic acid, which is fine, but is that much worse than toxic pine? She could easily use aspen if she wants to stick with a safe wood (although it's more expensive, maybe she doesn't want to spend the extra money- even though that would ensure there wasn't toxic wood oils?) or raw bran, which is done super frequently and encouraged.
Not sure if anyone else has noticed this. Quite a disappointment.

HappyTails has absolutely 0 right to bitch about other people's dogs having puppies when she BYB her dogs and killed a few of them. She also types like Trump which irks me.
Here's the article in question;
http://kfoxtv.com/news/offbeat/service-dog-gives-birth-to-litter-of-puppies-while-waiting-for-flight-at-tampa-airport
It says extremely little about the dog, how does she know the dog isn't a service dog? Lots of service animals aren't fixed due to health and wanting potential offspring from a dog that's known to have good temperament for service work.

No. 594572

to be fair generally service dogs shouldn’t be bred with.

No. 594576

>>594572
I would judge them more if I had literally any information on it but that was the only article about it and it has next to no info. Generally they aren't, but they sometimes are and can be done responsibly. I just think as someone that has to appeal to the public she is taking something she (or really anyone) knows nothing about and running with it, while being incredibly mean and hostile.
Also keep in mind this is the person who BYB mutts, killed a few, and also BYB goats, then BYB the babies of those BYB goats (possibly inbred?) as soon as they were able to reproduce (wayy too young). But someone else doing it is 'disgraceful'? She is a hypocrite, and a rather vile one at that.

No. 594583

>>594576
Yea I agree her reply to the article was a little hostile and she’s not one to talk but at the same time BYB are more like people who constantly breed their pets, over and over again to profit from the offspring. I remember someone used to breed his labradoodles constantly to pay for his big holiday every year. Like that’s messed up. All her dogs were health checked prior to breeding. I might not agree 100% with her breeding but there’s much worse out there, let’s be fair.

This was brought up before, but TND recommend she feed her sav repti links. Emma Lynn replied saying not to do that as they’re insectivores.

Happytails is obviously taking a huge shift to doing video game streaming, where that kind of attitude is seen as funny and quirky. I feel like a LOT of pettubers do shit like this; they get their foot in the door by going into a sort of niche market ('pettube') and being 'family friendly' to get as many followers as possible, then as they start to get popular they become less PC to attract even more. TND did it by starting out as a role model for kids then posting more risky pictures. I think Happytails is doing it by this subtle switch (both content and personality-wise) to an over-saturated market of game streaming, but game streaming takes a lot less work and clothes than this pettube stuff.
>>595058
I would agree if happytails didn't literally set herself up to get asked these questions for money. If you're making it your job to answer retarded questions that could be googled, at the very least you could be nice to people and turn them down.

Not defending anyone, but do you guys know anything about how YouTube works? Every trend that’s become a trend has started with someone’s original idea, and then other people make their own version of it. Challenges, makeup videos, etc it’s all the same thing. For example in the beauty world, the trend just went around of following other people’s tutorials. One person creates it, and then others recreated it.

People recreate videos ALL the time. That’s how things get big. Most people don’t even credit the original creator. As long as credit is given, I really don’t see the issue with recreating a video.

Stuck shed only cuts off circulation if there’s been lots stuck on there over many sheds? How could that instantly cut off circulation? Maybe I’m missing sometime.

If the shed stuck at the tip of the tail and was all the way around it and not just flakey parts here and there it can cut off circulation fairly quickly. That's why it's important to look them over after they've shed. I'm guessing in this case she maybe shed early at night and when pickles checked on her the next morning it was probably too late.

long time Leopard Gecko owner here, I’ve never known a case where a Leo has shed overnight and managed to cut off circulation. I’ve had Leo’s with whole leg left over shed and bits of tail and not once has it cut off circulation. Tbf the gecko does look fairly healthy with no left over shed in the video, so this is pretty abnormal and may just be a side effect to the surgery because this is not normal at all.

No. 596868

Another Leo owner here and while this isn’t normal for a healthy gecko, it’s pretty normal for an unhealthy/stressed gecko. Considering she just had surgery, it isn’t all that surprising really.

No. 596869

>>596790
If they're under stress which I'm sure her Leo is due to surgery, every little thing can cause an issue. The antibiotics that she's on will also deteriorate the beneficial bacteria in the body, coupled with an already weak and stressed gecko, it will make it extremely hard for her body to heal. I applaud pickles for being so responsible and not only spend so much on a gecko, but also go back and do it all over again. That can't be cheap I'm sure. A good example of how much a "cheap" Reptile can cost you if something comes up.

No. 596876

Hey gecko just had surgery, and is on medications. I’m sure she’s MUCH more susceptible to infection/complications.

Normally, yes it takes a whole for it to get that bad, but when their body is already trying to heal from surgery, and they’re being pumped with medications, they’re A LOT more susceptible to complications and things will deteriorate much more quickly.

No. 596877

I highly doubt the she’s has been stuck for a while. As you said she looked fine in the video, plus if she had stuck shed at the vet, I’m sure the vets would’ve said/done something. It’s probably just got bad, really quick due to the fact her body is already under a lot of stress from surgery

No. 596886

>>596876
I agree- its not normal for stuck shed to cause a problem so quickly, but Pickle's circumstances are not normal at all. She may have some faults, but she's setting a responsible example by taking her gecko to the vet, setting up a quarantine tank, and following up with her vet.

Has anyone seen this!? I don’t even know what to say….

1. She feeds her pig literal POTATO CHIPS
2. Doesn’t fix her rabbits, allows them to continuously have babies
3. Doesn’t feed her rabbits hay, instead just gives them a SHIT LOAD of pellets
4. Keep the rabbits outdoors in gross, dirty cages
5. Now I’m not 100% sure about rat care, but she fed her rats nothing but veggies and ham??
6. Doesn’t measure her dogs food, just lets them free feed
7. Knows absolutely nothing about bonding rabbits, just throws them together and hopes for the best
8. Keeps her leopard geckos on loose substrate
9. Feeds her leopard geckos nothing but mealworms, no variety, no calcium, no vitamins
10. Had a baby hamster that she irresponsibly bred herself, ham “randomly die” doesn’t seem to care
11. Only gives her hamsters seed mix (Higgins vita garden) so the protein is too low.
12. Claims that Purina cat food is “very healthy”

no its not, which i find kinda odd, shes showed other animals in her videos before like Porg the frog and all of the snakes, even mentioned Bess (sp) the snake in the video but didn't show, so in terms of not showing her competitors all of her animals I understand that but theres some shes already shown that arent in the video

No. 598595

She said those are the animals we can get "emotionally invested in". So those are the animals she choose to make future videos on. The others either dont matter or she does not want to ever be in a position to show how they are kept.

Every other pet youtuber has shown their entire collection of animals.

I think that being secretive about the other animals for the sake of protecting their "animal education" aka animal entertainment/ borderline petting zoo "animal list" is just shady.

Look at another youtuber, snake discovery. She also has an animal education program just like emzotics and yet shes not hiding her animals or being secretive at all.

This leads me to speculate that Em either has way to many animals in that small house, they are in sub par conditions (Ie, when she mentioned the bearded dragon spent a long time in the dark before going to the new enclosure), they backyard breed their animals, or keep illegal species.

I could be completly wrong.

I think the gist of the video was maybe to appear to those that don't know her well (which is more likely to be return subscribers / fans) that she doesn't have that many animals, to avoid speculation about having TOO many, those that just gloss over her channel would just look at that all my pets video and take that as it.

I also thought maybe she was just going to include animals she considers just 'hers' and thats why they're not all included in the video, but some of the animals she included were Dannys, or shared with Danny, so that theory doesnt make sense

?? Supreme being? I don’t get that vibe. She disclaimers the sh*t out of her videos and openly said shes not an expert or tryna preach. I think it’s good ems not showing everything. Aside from the privacy which she’s said from as far back as I’ve been watching (which I get because of the kids i think she said she has) its good not to make it normal on YT and encourage people to buy so many pets. I liked the all my pets even if I wanted to see more of the animals. Her subs have been asking forever and she’s giving them what they want in the way she said she was comfortable to do it. And in her description - attached - she said she’s going to show others in others ways just not maybe focusing on them as pets.
Ps I’m not a stan but her presenting style doesn’t bother me like it’s patronizing. She was a kids educator before youtube. What do u expect? Also agree above. That’s not a rat.

She has step kids which no other pet Youtuber has. You know what that means? That means she’s a stepmom and their BIO mom probably doesn’t want to allow the kids or environment to be seen online. It’s probably part of the original separation/divorce court order. I don’t think Em’s wrong to hide her home and stepkids from the world. So many YouTubers have had problems with stalkers and people coming to their home and that’s probably even more stressful when you have kids. I get you’re frustrated and want to see more but I can tell you’re probably not at the age where you think about the legalities of being a YOutuber with a family.

I don’t think we should really be “glorifying” her. She makes some good points, but she doesn’t seem any better than the rest of them. She makes the same videos as them (all my pets videos for example) and she seems to have some problematic care.
She mentions in the video that she keeps 1 male mouse, and 1 female mice together, and feeds the babies off. Now that’s fine, if you want to breed your own feeders, but do it correctly. Keeping a male and female together constantly, is so stressful for the poor female. That male is going to constantly be trying to breed her. If you want to breed them, then keep them separate except when feeding. She also says that half of her animals were impulse buys.

No. 600039

In all honesty, there will never be a petuber that is amazing and has the correct care (animal care is constantly changing, difference of opinions etc etc).

We can basically rank them on a 'problematic' scale. In most cases smaller petubers seem to be less problematic (though idk about her).

Also, at least she admits they were impulsively bought? Most other people wouldn't.

No. 600054

>>599940
The mouse thing REALLY bothered me. It’s common sense not to have a 1:1 male/female ratio. If you’re breeding mice then you should be keeping the males and females separate, except during breeding so that the females aren’t constantly being bred/chased/harassed by the males. And when you do breed them, you need to have a 1:2 male/female ratio, so that the male doesn’t take out all his aggression and breeding behaviour on one female.

She also said that she “sometimes” feeds the babies off. That’s fine… but what the hell is she doing with the rest of them? She said her sand boa only eats live pinkies, and considering mice are only pinkies for like 3 days, she would only get the chance to feed 1 off before they grow too large. What is she doing with them then? She’s not freezing them, because her snake will only eat live. So I’m assuming she’s selling them or something.

She said her mice were impulse buys, and it really shows considering she doesn’t even know to not keep a 1:1 ratio.

She goes on and on about how petubers should be holding themselves to a higher standard, which I agree with. But she doesn’t even take her own advice.

The sad part is, her approach isn't even bad for an unsocialized horse. However, that is her pet horse she has owned for it's entire life and has ridden. I mean it's no surprise that her animals are neglected when she has over 100 of them.

Texas anon here, it's 1:30 am and she's been playing games for well over 2 hours now. It was already physically impossible to give adequate attention to that many animals daily without factoring in leisure time. To actually try and promote your gaming channel with your animal channel, I can't tell if it's ballsy or if it's just retarded.

It's literally a tragedy after a tragedy with this girl
Something always happen with her, now one of her turtles die for a disease.

- She doesn't even try to see if the disease was infectious
- after the turtle is getting better decide to put it in the dirty floor of the backyard and stress the shit out of her with the cat.
- "Rescue" another 5 animals during the lapse she was taking care of the turtle
- Can't breath but still put the turle on a veggie soup ( not so sure about this practice, so correct me if I'm wrong on this)

Even in the video I got stressed out to see there is always an animal screwing around.
She is the perfect example of a hoarder.

Sage for more old milk, just figured it should be archived here for later. HT doesn't seem like the kind of person to delete her own photos or comments but rather other's.
On another note, does someone want to update HappyTail's current animal count? God knows she isn't keeping track, and I think some animals have died and some have been introduced since the last thread.
>>603414
Her husband was playing with her on stream. I watched a bit of it, not really pettube related, but she basically needed him to hold her hand so she could progress in the game. She kept getting stuck. And he also had to keep coaxing her to talk, like it was a bad date. She also didn't acknowledge her viewers at all from what I've seen, her husband had to keep engaging the live viewers despite the fact that they are literally only there for HT. It was all around cringey for someone who wants to make a big move to video game streaming. I sort of hope it works out though, because maybe she'll get rid of some animals or just let them die off and not replace them.

Her guinea pig care is questionable as well since she said in her guinea pig care video that vegetables could be used as treats when every guinea pig should be given a cup of fresh produce each day as they can’t produce their own vitamin C.

Not only that, her cage is only 22” x 46” — judging off of her video building the cage she uses. The suggested cage size for two guinea pigs is 30” x 36”, yes, but most people advise 30” x 50”. She doesn’t ewallt seem to care about her guinea pigs

She crams her exotics all in one room, has her birds flying around while snakes are out, the room is generally filthy, she paints her nails around birds, plus many other animals of hers interact/cross species when they shouldn’t. She neglects more than a few of her animals, her diets aren’t based off of any sort of science they’re based off of her own preference. In fact, most of her care is based off of her own preference and tends to blatantly ignore general care and safety guidelines. She’s rude af to anyone and everyone who remotely disagrees with her, she has owned a horse for apparently most of its life and it acts like it doesn’t know her at all, she allows most of the “wild” animals to congregate together and breed freely. She backyard breeds her dogs, many of whom got sick, one even died. I can’t even begin to think of an animal of hers that is taken care of the way it is supposed to be.

Comparing Taylor and Happy Tails is comparing apples to oranges, but if you read Taylor’s thread it is FAR more about her personally and her relationship. Happy Tails you could go on for days specifically about how horrendous her animal care is and what a bitch she is.

Nobody really gives a shit about someone making typos Jesus Christ. This is why people attack this thread for being nit picky. Pretty sure we should probably be more focused on the fact that happy tails is literally killing her mice, and promoting it.

Happy tails “fans” are so young and naive. This scares the shit out of me that she’s saying male mice need a friend. Her viewers are going to see this, and believe that males should be kept with others.

Happy tails needs to take her head out of her ass and just fucking admit it when she fucks up. But instead she’ll just go on pretending she’s some sort of know it all, expert, and continue to be rude to anyone who disagrees with her. She’s so dangerous, and should not have a platform at all. It’s honestly terrifying that she does given the information she spreads.

HT is actually fairly reserved. Unlike Taylor, she actually thinks about what she says and she doesn't over-share. So I have no idea the males involved in the breeding. She said one breeding was an accident involving a friend's goat (how in the fuck did that happen?). All I know with the goats is that they are seemingly being bred often, and some are being bred quite literally as soon as they come into heat. Her one goat was a juvenile itself when it gave birth.
I got bored one night while watching documentaries and made a spreadsheet of her animals off of a previous post and a video she made of all her pets. I'd post it but I think it may be too much autism for this thread.

Rats are not mice. Rats should always have same sex groups of two or more.

not WK but i watched the horse video and didnt see anything wrong with it. horses are naturally nervous, and as she said, she doesn't ride is often so its bound to be a little harder to get hold of, but she used no force or anything, just tapped into the horse psyche. I thought it was quite good.

I’ve never heard people say this about male guinea pigs. Most say just to have a bigger cage than the recommended

Male mice will often work together only when they came from the same established 'group' (pet store wise, and I think that's to do with them being siblings anyway).

Introducing two male mice isn't as easy as ''they haven't killed each other (:''

People also say that introducing two guinea pigs (not only males) can go wrong, especially if they show aggression to the point of worry. At that point it's recommended to keep them near each other so they still have some social bond. That probably goes for most social animals tho lmao.

Male mice can work, chances are higher when they're siblings, and selectively bred to not be aggressive. But this mouse was just running free in the store for like a week, and then she chose to just pick it a random mouse from the bunch that it had no longer been living with, and has no idea its relation.

Another issue I have is the whole 'rescue story' of the mouse running round the store, being caught, and then them buying it. You're not 'saving' the mouse and doing a good thing if in turn you're buying into the pet store industry / feeder industry

Even if male mice are siblings or came from the same group, theres still a large chance they will fight. Working at a pet store, we ALWAYS have two or three male mice in the back that had to be separated due to fighting. I don't care what bullshit areola is trying to spread.

I would believe this. My bonded males were far more peaceful than females. Granted, I have two females bonded but adding in a third resulted in bloodshed and the new girl being rehomed.

Um, no you don't. Male guinea pigs are just as social as females (they just require a larger cage typically, but literally NOBODY has ever said that, unless they're an idiot.) and languish without another pig living with them. If literally 99% of correct care guides on Google say its wrong, changes are, it's wrong sweaty :)

When I was a kid we kept baby red eared sliders and goldfish in a goldfish bowl together, we ended up with one and a half fish

Our last turtle was kept in a tank with a heater and filter in the winter and a paddling pool with rocks in the garden in the Irish summer. We didn't keep fish with him.
