@Chaokid9 Depending on where you live, capybaras may or may not be legal and/or require a license. There are both state and local laws to consider. To find out how to get a pet capybara and how to care for one, please visit Caplin's blog at giant hamster dot com and read the FACute.
What about gnawing the furniture or pooing in the swimming pool? Isn't he quite destructive? Also how high can he jump and how does he get along with cats? Many thanks in advance.
@usenetposts He does not chew on things or dig. He can jump about three feet high. He gets along with most other animals but cats are afraid of him. He does poop in the pool but I clean it out immediately and vacuum it every day when it is warm so it's not much of a problem.
It looks like the word apology or apologies. And it acts like someone going to apologize to somebody but they don't know how to do it.
The noises it makes sounds like if you were out in the middle of nowhere. It would be a bird or something. In the distance. Maybe it is mimicing the noise of a sound it enjoys? Kind of like a in a meadow by a forest with a slight breeze on a warm sunny day. Is what the noise sounds like. Or the picture I get with the noise it makes.
You can learn more about Caplin by reading his blog (see channel page or description of this video for URL). He is house trained. He uses a bowl of water. He weighs 100 lbs so we can't carry him any more. In this video he was about 50 lbs.
The choke chain doesn't do anything except give me about 15 more seconds to react to him getting out of the harness, which it is quite easy for him to do. He got out of it this weekend in fact and the choke chain was all he had on him until I got the harness back on.
@BROB1141 he doesn't seem unhappy, look at the other videos. His owner loves him and he must not mind cooperating if he can perform tricks. Most of the time rodents are content with being pets as long as they are fed and their specific needs are met.
these ugly ass rodents can be found in the wild all over the country. you said that with confidence, like there arent wild animals in texas or something.
but my problem with this is..........why am i still getting responses to my comments that i left weeks ago...?
its a wild animal, and he hasnt been domesticated. the videos prove it.
As you might expect, he doesn't really act like either a hamster or a dog but if I had to pick, I'd say a dog. He is active during the day for one thing. And you can walk him on a leash. He knows a lot of tricks and he won't run in a wheel.
I am not sure about keeping capybaras in the UK. Here in the US, laws very from state to state and from county to county. It's probably the same over there. I do not know of anyone who has a pet capybara in the UK but then I don't know many people here who do.
Sorry, I don't know which states allow them and which don't, except for a few cases. Texas is fine. CA, FL require permits. NY has very restrictive laws regarding rodents.
haha caplin doesnt like work . . i no the feeling . . . and do u hav to make or by a speacil harness for them? also i am guessing it isnt smart (or possible ) to have them in ares that have all the seasons?
He wears a dog harness but he can get out of it if he backs up. So we use a choke chain as a 2nd line of defense. He can get out of that too, it just takes him a little longer.
I hear capybaras adapt well to cold climates but I am no expert on that. It doesn't get cold here.
I can't post a link in a comment. The link to the main breeder of capybaras in the US is on the channel main page. Capybaras are a lot of work and can be aggressive (Caplin has bitten me), so be sure you know what you're getting into before you get one.
lol its so funny when he gets his harness on, hes like a dog when you put a hat on them or something, they just stand there and look so pissed at you.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
"capybaras are not the worlds fastest animal" lmao, you dont say, that things like a big slow moving bag of meat, hwo do these things survive in the wild? lol
Caplin certainly had a lot to say! I could hear him chuckling under his breath about the way Sheldon was pretending to have things under control. I think we all know who is in control here.
Caplin, you look very industrious. Don't let your co-workers talk you into stuffing envelopes, though (use the opposable thumbs argument; works every time). Let 'em know you're executive material. Then take a popsicle break.
