Description
A rogue population of microsquirrels are quickly taking over my giant rainforest ecosystem vivarium, and it's time for some drastic measures to stop them! The addition of microsquirrels, a type of cute arboreal mammal also known as African pygmy dormice, into our three vivaria five months ago truly transformed the ecosystem of plants, fungi, and animals. They ate a lot and led to the extinction of prey insects. But how does one go about removing the quick and intelligent microsquirrels? I resort to a trapping method, and with a little help from the rainforest, I was able to begin the extraction process, and even fulfill a long time promise to a pet snake. Hope you enjoy this Season 5, Episode 13 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.
