 Hey everyone, it's Allison welcome back to the tiny herd where we talk about everyday pet care for guinea pigs rabbits and other small pets Today is actually going to be a real-life look at everyday pet care This is the start of a well what I'm expecting to be a very long vlog I wanted to do a multiple-day Pet care vlog to show you guys the actual realities of having a lot of pets. I currently have 12 animals and then a fish so 12 small animals and a fish or well one of those is a dog But anyways, we have 12 animals 13 animals counting the fish So I'm gonna show you guys what it's like to take care of that many animals. So to start off this vlog You guys are looking at a huge mess. So this is my front room and dining room This is the bunnies playroom and I just got done doing a haul that you guys would have already seen So all this stuff was included in the haul. So it's all over the floor There's still a hay on the floor from filming the hay comparison video that I haven't vacuumed up and then we just got done Building the new critter nation for the rats the lighting is really bad because it's like 10 o'clock at night But we just got done doing this and I was like setting it up and stuff. So Look at this mess you guys Seriously like I had to move the bunnies litter box. That's their pile of paper. They play in and their tunnel There's plastic everywhere from trimming the bin down that we have in the bottom of the critter nation Which you guys will see in a later video but this is just A disaster and I can't leave it like this because of that little guy Right there So obviously this is the bunnies playroom you can see we're talking about him This is the bunnies playroom Snickers mouse is also in here But I can't leave this like this obviously because the bunnies would get into everything So the start of this vlog is going to be me cleaning up this ginormous mess that I made Got all the stuff out of the middle of the floor. I'm going to get the vacuum After I finished picking up these couple of things But there's so much hay on the floor. It's ridiculous There's some stuff on there. I need to do something with Um that I think I'm just going to put it in the closet for now, but eventually it's going to go underneath that cage Um all of that is not staying there But I just put it there because tomorrow I need to mix up the rats food Tomorrow is Thursday and we are going to pick up the rats on Friday So I'm trying to get everything ready for them before that Um, I'll show you guys that tomorrow though this is a disaster And I think I'm going to throw away all this paper. It's been out here for a long time and we have plenty more So I'm going to get rid of the gross paper and the ripped up paper And figure out where to put it that it's not like this drives me nuts They love to play in it. So I want them to have paper, but they're it's just always everywhere So I might move it back into that corner over there They'll keep their tunnel of course and then this litter box used to be where this cage is and it's going to go here now So I'm going to go ahead and do all of that stuff. I just said Okay, we're in so much better shape. I am like out of breath But all that's left to do is vacuum We have a little Snickers mouse here by the way. This is where she stays Her little bin is in our front room by the lamp. She actually just went back into bed She was out here eating a bit That is my niece is that doesn't go here But I have everything cleaned up I just need to get the vacuum Vacuum this room and then I can get the bunnies toys back out This fits here like perfect That worked out super well This is all cleaned up. Obviously needs vacuumed and I'm going to change that litter box They don't use it a ton, but it still needs changed And then tomorrow I'm going to pick up all those tools and get those boxes out of here, but I'm about done for today I'm going to go put this in the closet Take that in the other room Get the vacuum and do that and then that'll probably be all that I do for tonight I still have to spot clean cages and get ready For everyone to go to bed. So I'm going to vacuum really quick and move on All right, I think you guys missed part of that because my camera died and I didn't realize it But that was some real life pet care there I fought with my stupid vacuum for like 20 minutes because I went and got the normal vacuum because I was like There's not that much. Hey, it'll be fine. I'm not going to get the shop back out Of course it clogged it ended up taking way longer than just getting the shop back So I ended up getting the shop back. That's a pet care tip though If you have animals particularly animals that eat hay Highly highly recommend getting yourself a shop back. It's a lifesaver I Would have gone through so many vacuums by now if I hadn't gotten that so there's a tip for you I'm pretty much done for tonight. It's wednesday night Tomorrow I have to do some more stuff clean up get ready to pick up the rats on friday But this is I got all this done tonight. This room is clean. I put the bunny's toys back out So I'm pretty happy with this. So I'm gonna go spot clean cages and go to bed I'm not going to show you guys that because you'll see it later in this So I will see you guys tomorrow All right guys. Hello. It is thursday. Welcome back to another day in my life taking care of pets So tomorrow is the day that we are going to pick up the rats. So I have stuff that I need to get done Finished prepared and all of that to get ready for them So I'm going to do that tonight and then I have some stuff that still needs cleaned up So I'm going to do that. I'm going to show you guys Everything that I'm doing as I go. All right. So the first thing I need to do tonight is actually make the rat food So all of these things up on the top of this are for the rat food So I'm going to get all of that down and get set up so that I can do that I'm not going to talk through how I'm going to make their food I'll link a video down below that talks about the Diet method that I am using for the rats to make this mix But since I'm obviously super new to owning rats I'm not going to talk about their diet or anything because there's more research I could do This is just kind of to get them started. So I'm going to do that now and then finish setting up their cage I think because I don't have any bedding or anything in it and I still need to make fleece liners for them All right guys, so the rat food is done again. I will link the video down below talking about this method for doing a diy mix for rats, but It's kind of just like based by percentages and volume. So I have that ready to go Now I need to clean up this mess I just made figure out where to put all this food because some of it's not going to go in our pantry Like I'm not putting mealworms in our pantry, but I got to figure out some storage for the rat cage and stuff and then I have to Clean all that stuff up that's in that hallway down there Okay, this room is pretty well done again Luckily wasn't too bad tonight I don't usually have to clean this room this often, but getting ready for the rats caused a lot of extra mess Hello Michael Bun Hello Do you want me to clean up all this mess for you? Hello What's it doing all this stuff in your way? So yeah Okay So I was planning on cleaning all this up tonight But it's gonna have to wait till tomorrow because I don't actually know what I'm gonna do with a lot of this These two are clean laundry that I just need put away So I'll do that tomorrow Before I clean cages, but I don't know what I'm gonna do with the rest of this stuff So I'm not dealing with it tonight because it's already 10 o'clock. So I'm going to spot clean cages and then Till you shower and go to bed. So I think I'm gonna end today's portion of the vlog here Tomorrow you'll get to see more of like cleaning cages and that sort of thing So that'll be more normal day-to-day pet care But I'm gonna go ahead and end for today and I'll see you guys tomorrow on Friday Hey guys, so it is saturday I skipped filming for this video yesterday on friday because we got the rats and there was a lot of other things going on and I didn't really end up doing that many pet chores just because I was watching the rats and all that and editing videos. So today saturday I'm doing all of the pet stuff and all of the etsy stuff So I'm gonna take you guys along with me on all of the pet chores that I am doing today I'm gonna go get more organizing bins I'm gonna clean the entire pet room clean up all of the stuff I left in the hallway just like Get everything totally clean clean cages all of that and I'm gonna take you guys along with me And then one other thing I want to do today is clean up this closet Obviously, there's a lot of non pet related stuff in here But I've kind of just been throwing stuff in here as I've been doing pet projects so that the bunnies can't get to it So I'm gonna clean and reorganize this as well. You can see there's like mouse stuff in here My ring light All of the stuff from making carriers Like all of this just needs reorganized and put away Okay, this looks so much better. It's not necessarily super organized But it's a lot better than it was and I got all this stuff off the floor. So just needs vacuumed and Honestly, I probably need to get some rid of some of those Heidi houses, but they're all in here. So We're done organizing this closet show you guys a quick little video here of Snickers mouse and she came out Please ignore the sounds in the background. My boyfriend is doing dishes right now But she came out. You guys get to see her Hello little gray girl She is Over two and a half now. So she is very gray And she has a little bit of trouble getting around and she's very fat as you can see because all she does is come out and Eat and then go back and lay in her bed. She does run on her wheel a little bit Is it is sunday morning? So today is the day that i'm really going to be doing majority of my pet chores So I think the last couple Clips or the last couple days Clips have just been like random things that I've been doing with the pets just like random Jobs pet related jobs that are not things you would necessarily think about And that's kind of some stuff that I wanted to show you guys because you don't think about like the other organizing You have to do or prepping for a new pet or Making their food or things like that. So today we're going to be doing the regular pet chores So I'm going to show you guys some of that. I don't want to make this video like forever long So I'm not going to show you like full cage cleaning or anything, but I will show you some clips of that and then Um, I'll keep doing some random pet related things I want this vlog to be like realities of pet care. That's kind of like What the point of it is so I'm showing you guys the real stuff that I do and how kind of like sporadic and Um, how there are pet jobs that need done every single day So I'm going to go ahead and just get to it today So I hope you enjoyed getting to see a couple days worth of pet care and that related things that I had to do this week I'm going to be doing more of these vlogs in the future as well Just because I want to show the reality of taking care of this many animals Because there's a lot of people that have a lot of pets, but don't really communicate How much work it really is so let me know if you guys enjoyed this down below But I'm going to go ahead and end this week's vlog here and I will see you guys in my next video.
