How To Make a TIGER POPSICLE!

[Danceswithyewtube]

EW lol :)

[nostudoable]

Well they are different so i don't agree to what you are doing. Let them near a swimming pool, a lake, a river, a waterfall...this is nature.

[TigerWolfSpirit]

awsome! do u guys do the same thing for the little big cats? but use a different methode to make it or do u guys just put a little bit in the bucket?

[BigCatRescue]

@TigerWolfSpirit Yep! We use empty yoghurt pots for the smaller species :)

[TigerWolfSpirit]

@BigCatRescue  cool :) all the cats there are spoiled lol xD

[vasilikos12]

eating frozen meat is not a natural behaviour

[BigCatRescue]

@vasilikos12 The natural behaviors we refer to are the licking and effort they have to put in to picking apart their "prey" to get to the food treats inside. They would be licking the fur off of prey in the wild and gnawing away on bones etc...

[vasilikos12]

@BigCatRescue yes but the temperature of the pray is i thing at least warm not frozen.eating frozen meat is very unnatural.

[BigCatRescue]

@vasilikos12 It may be unnatural but, it's definitely a treat for them during the summer :)

[salazar16alex]

Very cool



[CrystalSwan24]

Haha, new commercial: Bloodcicles, Chickcicles, and Fishcicles

Audience O.o "EW" haha Big Cats: O.O "YUM!"

[crazy4muffinz]

Dawwww! I love wild cats! They're so adorable!!! I kinda want a tiger as a pet but that wont ever happen haha

[StephanieMorelli]

yum yum yum, mouthwatering. for cats anyway

[nitesXmoon]

1:28 "yum- O CRAP!"

[nitesXmoon]

chicksicle lol

[giannisfxpower]

holy shit..a hugest ice cream with taste of strawberry for a cat??

LOL :P

[PandaCatLover]

ummm... im a vegitarian...

[XxLunarXRainxX]

Wow! You guys treat your cats so well. You really do try to give them the least boring life, and are so creative with them. I'm glad you guys are so keen on the some of the animals that need it most. :)

[sonnadawn]

@bigcatrescue Do some of the cats have favorite flavor sports drink Popsicles?

[BigCatRescue]

@sonnadawn Not really, they're only after the good stuff (meat treats:)

[KushFlyyy]

lol chickcicles

[kait813]

How long does it take for them to get through the whole popsicle?

[BigCatRescue]

@kait813 Not that long, depends on the cat really, some are clever and just get all the meat then leave the rest to melt, others like the sensation I think and lick away for a LOOOONG time :)

[alextboz4ever]

Fantastic, my tiger is just gonna love this!

[liyannAlive]

now i feel like making myself a gigantic popsicle but without the chicken neck of coz

[medexamtoolsdotcom]

Euuuuuuugh, the chicksicle is possibly the most revolting thing I have ever conceptualized. There's no way a team of comedians could possibly even parody it, it already seems like an exaggeration of something else.

[RhinotheDrunken]

Now I kind of want to make a popsicle for my kitties- or just let them have fun with a raw fish. Would that even be healthy for them?

[BigCatRescue]

@RhinotheDrunken I make tuna fish ice cubes for my cat and he loves them, I wouldn't feed whole fish to my cats because bones would be a problem.

[xoxEmeraldCity]

the tiger reminded me of my dog

[94jg]

Sardini Martini. Genius.

[meandyoubaking]

Poor

[azavier4preston]

Cute tiger!

[meandyoubaking]

I feel sad for the chick

[macydimaano]

like this

[WishingBabyX]

MY GAWD....Is the chick dead before you guys made the chick-sicle?

[BigCatRescue]

@WishingBabyX Yes.

[yankee82090]

Ooooh poor Chicksicle. The little baby chick poping out was hilarious

[PLATOON72]

Isn't dangerous for them giving them frozen food?... Veterinarians here forbidded it always, because the beasts could be killed for congestion...

[guinivereXbloodgood]

I might have to pop over to Tampa on the way to my research retreat in the Everglades this winter. Zoology student here, always been fascinated by felines of all kinds. ^__^

[CircaSkating]

has a cat ever licked one and it froze to its tongue?

[BigCatRescue]

@CircaSkating Not yet :)

[XxViper142000]

They should put a warning sign. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.

[Gourmay]

Why the use of sports drinks? Isn't sugar bad for felines?

[BigCatRescue]

@Gourmay It's so heavily diluted there's no problem with using it, we use it to add color that's all. The cats just go for the good stuff at the top and leave the rest to melt! :)

[knekochansmiles]

@BigCatRescue smart tigers.

[MsSadiem]

awwww he loves hid posicle

[SerratedPaper]

this is so cool i wish i lived in tampa then i would always come!!!!! :)

[ARodriguez258]

This is a pretty good idea. Maybe I could do the same for my own cats - freeze up some tuna juice and they'd go nuts over it!

[BigCatRescue]

@ARodriguez258 They will love it! my cat does :)

[gurlinblak]

very creative!!

[RogueMichelle]

It will encourage natural behaviors? O_o What natural behavior does a Popsicle simulate

[BigCatRescue]

@RogueMichelle Licking the popsicle is like licking the fur from an animal they have killed, they can grab hold of the popsicle like prey and search for the good stuff inside :)

[90Kirame]

This was brilliant! ^^

[timmyfung01]

like anyone of us will have a tiger to feed the popsicle....

[aygachu]

when i saw her hold the bucket i thought there's no way a big cat can consume all of that. lol then when the tiger walked near the popsicle it somehow looked like candy

[runningwebkinzflute]

i wonder if big cats get brain frezzes

[Frenchloprabbit]

OH God I am sure the PETA nuts will come out of the wood work...I know I was a nut running around the house screaming over the "chicksicle.." .my kids had a good laugh over that!!!

[VicenteArvizu100]

i puked when i watched this!! eww :(

[LoserLostHisHat]

lol "Sardini Martini" that made my day xD

[jrock99618]

Omg that looked YUMMIE!!!!!!!!!!

[ladysblues]

I'm always amazed to see the many different ways you all work at creating varied ways of stimulating and feeding the cats. It's such a joy to see this. Thank you

[doneidson]

That's cute!

[lilyluvmovies]

lol i only watched this coz i thought she was gonna show how to make a popsicle(for humans) that looks like a tiger... 0.0

[BigCatRescue]

@lilyluvmovies Sorry about that ! :)

[VelvetCristal]

@lilyluvmovies LOL I thought exactly the same! XD

[RawrRoarsAlyssa]

0:17 O_O

[PETZPC1]

Okai...this was in my reccomended for some reason and i felt like watching it....so I did andd..it was weird. :P

[FiestyCat86]

Thats sad, I saw the baby chicks legs!!! I love what ya'll do and I know they have to eat...I just wasn't expecting baby chick legs to be sticking out of an ice chunk...

[itena]

Why is it that tigers are so graceful, even when they end up knocking something down accidentally? I'm almost envious.

[Blayros]

The chicksicle made me laugh so hard :P

[Charm3ndar]

YEAH CAUSE I'M TOTALLY GOING TO DOWN LOAD THIS FOR A DOLLAR CAUSE I HAVE TIGERS AT HOME TO FEED POPSICLES!!!!!!

[skygreenjuanita]

ch-chick?

[WhyJive]

cool!

[JapanOtome]

1:29

OM NOM NOM

[glitterbox21]

CHICKEN NECKS? EUW! :S hahaha!

[heartyhearts99]

Lucky TJ :)

I just love cats,

There amazing animals to me =3

I wish I could come during feeding time some day

Oh well =D

[beautifulwolf1234]

most beautiful cats in the world and sum of u people think they are just killers they arent the are the most wonderful animals in the world in my opinion and if it werent for big cats then the balence of nature would get out of control and its not the big cats fault tht they r killing humans its the humans fault to bother the love and nature these poor creatures hve

[beautifulwolf1234]

i want to like give 1,000 dollars to save the big cats but even if i had a dollar my parents wont let me

[tomahawk173]

dang i thought they where popcicles made of tigers

[ophiophilist]

ty for telling me i like have a friend with a tiger as like a pet, but its like an illegal pet, but like i live in a SUPER HOT PLACE so like yeah. ill have to like tell him about it. NOT.

[mbstylo]

like i have a tiger in my backyard

[wojtekgola97]

I have no comment about fucking chicken neck popsicles...O_o

[Gymgirl101100]

aww so cute I love lions and tigers

[Gymgirl101100]

aww so cute I love lions and tigers

[hiiroiro]

Are cats really allowed to drink human sport drinks? I feel like it's just filled to the brim with sugar.

[BigCatRescue]

@hiiroiro They don't really consume much of the actual ice block, it's an interesting different taste for them and is diluted a lot so it's fine for them to taste test :)

[liketoyellatpeople]

this is silly (: why do we need to know how to make tiger popsicles?

[liketoyellatpeople]

this is silly (: why do we need to know how to make tiger popsicles?

[geebeepman]

does the tiger/lion only eat the part of the popsicle with the chicken necks?

[geebeepman]

does the tiger/lion only eat the part of the popsicle with the chicken necks?

[BigCatRescue]

@geebeepman It depends on the tiger, but they go for it all in most cases, some are lazy and just wait for it to melt, to get to the good stuff!

[geebeepman]

does the tiger/lion only eat/lick the part of the popsicle with the chicken necks?

[geebeepman]

[hibasarah6]

cute tiger

[XaviersSecretary]

Hahahaha. Great video.

[josekinga]

Does it works for domestic cats? :o

[ACDC1AU]

unusal but cool.

[youlosez]

I'm making a Popsicle of that magnitude for myself!

[JanPeter1234]

ahhh, cute, a tiger with a popsicle

[JITNCKU]

chicken flavor ice cream for big cat ... lol

[SuperNathalious28]

OMG!! TIGERS HAVE WHITE TONGUES??!!

[HarmonyBOOM]

Lol 1:30

[DORAMARIE]

WHAT A GREAT IDEA!

i like it that they care so much about their animals!

[youtubasoarus]

Such beautiful creatures.

[mario1136]

this looks pretty helpful! the tiger looks so cute with the popsicle at the end. P.S. It sounds like "shitsicle" at 0:18 no offense lol

[BigCatRescue]

Yeah, it kinda does, never noticed that until now, oh well :)

[KarmicOmen]

At the very beginning, is that a Siberian? I ask because of the white "beard" and the fact that it is huge. Tigers -- especially Siberians, really are the most gorgeous of all cats.

[BigCatRescue]

That is TJ the same tiger you see at the end of the video enjoying the popsicle, he is a siberian/bengal mix we believe due to his size and as you said "fluffy" appearance, he was rescued form a breeding facility breeding white tigers.

[skydancinghobbit]

Have you ever considered somthing with catnip in it for enrichment? felines seem to like it

[BigCatRescue]

We do use catnip sometimes for our enrichment, but many of the cats prefer different scents we use a bunch of spices and perfumes on our enrichment!

[zeppelinlegion]

mmmmmm chiiickeeen neecckkksss........

[JesusChristRulesYOU]

That is assinine, why not just feed the cats the chicken necks, why bother with trying to cook up garbage for them, they are wild animals they will eat anything.

[BigCatRescue]

This is enrichment for them makes them "work" for a treat instead of just giving it to them. They then get excited, play, use natural behaviors all good stuff! :)

[rainbowspite222]

Do they like the sweetness of the sports drink? I never would have thought that.

[BigCatRescue]

I'm sure they taste it and it's something different not so much sweetness, it's diluted so much they don't get much of that, but they seem to like it.

[xXFirestar5Xx]

some sports drinks also have electrolytes so the sports drinks are a good choice

[asshol3434]

i make my own meat ice ball you need limonade water and hamburger wel put all to geder and freeze and ohhh its so tasty mmmmmmmmmmmm its realy mmmmmm

[BigCatRescue]

Sounds delicious!

[wingsofhope2]

what every kid wants on a hot summer day! bloodsickles, chicksickles, and sardini martinis!!!

[BigCatRescue]

less sugar more protein! yum :)

[HyperFoxIII]

Or at least bloodsicles for vampires

[orhanw00t95]

ohhhh omg haha i tought u were gonna show us how to make a popsicle for humans :D haha im wrong

[thepielord26]

Ill have one! lol

[boomlightsout]

lol tigers and lions drink gatorad?? doesnt it become a sticky mess?

[BigCatRescue]

They don't really consume it all, plus it's heavily diluted with water, once they get to the chicken necks - the good stuff, they leave the rest to melt a lot of the time, depends on the cat :)

[roaming1978]

That's a really cool idea...!

[darkula666]

chicksicles sound amazing :D

[pixiequeen1127]

um eww

[exodiaj]

"What is this?"

* Licks it *

"Hmm Its good"

* Knocks it over"

"No! Crap Crap crap!!"

[bubblesarebubbly1000]

@exodiaj XD so funny

[macross5000]

@exodiaj

"CRAAAAAAP......now it has dirt all over it..."

lol I just wanted to add that in ^_^

[torchic122]

Imma mkae a kitten popsicle! But of course a smaller popsicle lol.

[FluxGryphon]

I've seen panda popsickles on an Animal Planet program, so the carnivorous variety is kind of an unexpected discovery in it's own 'special' category. Looks like a great way to help a tiger cool down!

[acr08807]

How to make a tiger popsicle. First, shoot one tiger. Wild tigers in the prime of their life make the best popsicles. Then, place the tiger in a BIG blender...

[Kittyangle1989]

could you not put the meet in the middle then thay have to work abit harder for it

my friends cat like lemon drizzle cake i don't Thats good for him though ! do any of your big cats like citrus fruits?

[BigCatRescue]

We do all sorts of different frozen treats for them with something that size (5 gallon bucket) we also freeze rabbits in there for them! i don't think we've ever tried citrus fruits at the sanctuary I'll check, we're going to be making a podcast featuring all our different enrichment in the future so maybe citrus fruits will be in there!? Thanks!

[libed91]

nooooooooo.....cats hate citrus fruits...don't do that.

[ghidfg]

r they ok drinking sports drink??

[2Perky]

It helps to balance their electrolytes, particularly on really hot days. We do the same thing for zoo animals.

[pete4512]

Yay for kitties!

[KiwiAng3l]

i really enjoy watching videos that involve animals like these. tigers are my fav big cat.. :)

[Macrochenia]

How come you use a sports drink as the base for the Popsicle?

[BigCatRescue]

It's just something different for them, it's diluted so much by the water but they still like the taste of it for some reason?

[LaurenF1996]

Hah, very cool :D

I want one! minus those chicken necks lol

[BigCatRescue]

They're the best part!

[witor19]

i voted, its your turn america!

[readmom]

Do you think that might work with house cats?

[BigCatRescue]

Definitely if you use tuna or something as a replacement to the chicken necks, maybe no need for the sports drink if you just use ice cube trays? I'm gonna try it with my cats too :)

[OoOoFrancaOrtizoOoO]

Miam!I'm gonna try it XD

[PerplexPersonality]

This is cool. Ended up watching it 3 times.

[BigCatRescue]

Nice. Thanks for watching! :)

[colebrascarecrow]

Poor chicks!

[TIGGERTAT2Z]

That is literally sooo COOL!!! I enjoyed this video! Thanks!

[BigCatRescue]

HA HA , THANKS!

[alexcostacurta]

que ricas paleta

[Gronnuhr]

Loved it!

[coolirishrocker]

Very smart, very good idea. :) Nice thinking!

[jamesbond942]

Ew, I don't like the sound of bloodsicles.

[alincielo]

W the cats...and the big cats!!

[wingsofhope2]

If only I had a tiger... oh well.

This is entertaining to watch! ^^

[demari54]

god bless

[That3liitle3kid0]

i've voted around 7 times! those cats are sooooooooooooooooooooo cute

[BigCatRescue]

Thanks for voting! :)

[lanceknightmare]

There is a new trick I learned with my cat. I figured since his mannerisms resemble that of a large tiger. I would post this so you could try it out.

What you do, is take a rolled up news paper. Then just set the thing down on the ground next to him. The cat will actually curl right up to the thing. Using it as a pillow.

If he is in a frisky mood however. There is going to be paper all over the place.

[BigCatRescue]

Woah, we're gonna need some BIG newspapers! I might try that with my cat though :)

[dani0103]

Hey ! I voted! Nice to see a wonderful tiger in the hands of wonderful people. I hope that Tiger can one day graduate from captivity! -Dani

[Fight0Tyranny]

Where do you vote? I can't find a link or is it just simply adding this to your favourites and rating?

[BigCatRescue]

The link is in the description to the video, we only have 3 days left so it'd be "cool" if you could vote everyday! Thanks!

[Fight0Tyranny]

Thank you! Ill vote everyday!

[BigCatRescue]

Thanks! :)

[Fight0Tyranny]

You guys are awesome! popsicles is such a fun idea for the cats!!!!!

I especially love watching the cats on "Bone Night".

Never ever seen a sanctuary before that actually does everything 100% right for these cats.!

[cherrysushioscar]

I will vote every single time I sign in to youtube which is like 5 times a day :-)

[BigCatRescue]

The link is in the description to the video, we only have 3 days left so it'd be "cool" if you could vote everyday! Thanks!

[cherrysushioscar]

Got it! Call it done :-)

[kristenlovespanicx]

Honestly what the fuck.

How does anyone enjoy this...

[cherrysushioscar]

Hellooo! Tigers are on the brink of extinction! You should be thankful to these guys that your grand grand children will still be able to see some tigers. Don't care if you don't want to but at least don't leave any nasty comments to people who do care.

[Coolchris551]

AAAAMEN to tht
