My Zebra Got Frostbite (amputation tutorial)

Beautiful little snow zebra. Look at this little guy. Don't bite me. I think he might be okay. What are all these little noises? All right, let's take a little look at this. At least four inches of ice. There's a coyote right there. Fourth and last day of the freeze. Considering attacking me, are you? Well, all right everybody, I'm finally done. Most of the chores are done and it looks like DaBaby broke out on his own. Even though I just gave them a bunch of water, him and his son and wife are hopping around. I can hear a lot of the snow melting. It's not gonna snow again here. Probably for another three, four years. How cool is this seeing DaBaby and Tibby hanging out together in the snow? Look at that. Beautiful little creatures. Might have a little bonfire tonight with some buddies to celebrate the fact that this whole horrible storm is finally over. As you guys can see, Mama here and her baby are hanging out, eating all this food I threw on the ground. I think these guys are gonna be just fine here. But oh my goodness, look how cold this little boy is. They sure do love eating all that food I left for them. You're not gonna slip and break your leg if I... Oh no, look at him. Okay, I'll leave them alone so they don't hurt themselves. Oh my goodness, look at this little guy. But yeah, guys, it looks like the snow's finally melting. I think these guys are gonna be just fine here. But look at that, a kangaroo in the snow. Come on, little guy. Go back to your mama. Oh, look at that. That's so cool. Kangaboos into snow, folk, today. All right, everybody. I just got to crunch and I'm here with my gallon. I take a gallon every day and it's completely frozen solid. There's no way I can drink this. This is my setup. I got shotgun shells. I got some protein, creatine I don't really use anymore. I'm gonna go ahead and put this in the sauna so it heats up. But this is the Crunch Fitness. I've brought you guys here tons of times before. But they recently just added a sauna, making it better than most of the gyms in Waco. It's the only way I can thaw my water. All right, everybody. This should be the last night I'm at the new property. Last night of horrible freezing temperatures here. This is what it looks like with all the snow. Looks like Montgomery is doing just fine over there in his little barn. All right, everything is fine here. I'm gonna come back tomorrow morning and break up all their water. Might just have to drive into this pond. No ice in the water here as you guys can see because of this goo. All right, everybody. The fourth and last day of the freeze. These guys are still hopping around for some reason. I hope the baby's okay out there. Wow, look at this. At least it's not raining anymore. Poggers is in there watching me longingly from inside the room. But Poggers is an indoor dog again. All the animals have been fed and have water. After Poggers fell asleep on my couch, I woke up at 8 a.m. for my Zoom class because Baylor University canceled all their classes, even the grad school. All right, everybody at the new property. Looks like there's still a little bit of snow here on the ground. There's ice in the crocodile enclosure. Really glad I didn't keep that crocodile. It would have been so hard to keep him warm. For some reason, Bandit is just in here, even though he has a hole and he can dig out and climb out. Looks like he's drinking the water in here. Look at him running around over there. And his girlfriend is outside of the fence, running around outside somewhere. Be able to see her. Yeah, look, there she is, you guys. You see her running around? And these Rhea do not like her at all. They will pummel her if they come too close. You see them all running over towards her? They do not like her at all. That's why, you guys, if you want to farm Rhea, you don't really have to worry about coyotes as predators. But we do have to worry about them not getting any water and dying from thirst. But look at that, you guys. I've never seen a zebra in the snow before till now. And it looks like he's doing okay. Hello there, beautiful little boy. Don't bite me. I'mma bite you if you don't like this video. Just kidding. Unless... Well, I'm gonna go ahead in here with a hammer and try and break this up. If only I thought to bring a hammer. But look how cute these guys are together in here. Okay, I don't have a hammer, but I do have this jack. Should do the trick okay. But look at that beautiful little white Rhea in the snow. Wow. And a happy little zebra. Okay, happy little boy. Come on. All right, let's take a little look at this. Oh my gosh. I might need more than just this jack. Okay, maybe I can't break this up with something this weak. Look how cute and uppity he is, you guys. Why is he trying to kick me? I think he's just really excited and frustrated because he's thirsty. Yeah, look how he like comes over and tries to pretend to kick me. Yeah, beautiful. Beautiful little boy. Formerly known as Nick Fuentes. Renamed to Montgomery Switzenbacher III. Beautiful little snow zebra. Never seen a zebra in the snow before you guys. But here we are. And he's actually so much bigger than he was before. Look at how big this boy is. I'm not sure how much I love him trying to bite my sleeve. But at least he's not biting my fingers off yet. We are gonna have to neuter this boy soon. It's only a matter of time before he becomes horrible. But he does need water. So let's see what we can do about this. And for all I know, this whole thing could just be a giant cube of ice. Okay, I couldn't find my hatchet. But this 10-foot T-post should work. Really glad that I put his little blankie in here. So he knew to come into the barn whenever it got real bad. Just out here farming zebras and rhea in Waco, Texas. Beautiful little fella. Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and try breaking all this up. And if I can't, I'm just gonna let him out over to the pond. Oh my gosh. Okay, I just broke it up. But I had to use two hands. Looks like at least four inches of ice. Look at that. Wow, there's still so much food in here. And honestly, I think he just likes dancing in the snow. And the Rhea seemed really glad to be able to finally drink again. So now these guys are finally getting a nice gulp of water. And even though all the bobcats and coyotes that we've released out here can come and go whenever they want. They like to come here, I think, during the winter. So they can get in the shelters. Also, I think they like playing around in here. It's like a jungle gym for them. Not to mention we have infinite chickens half the time. And tons of water for them to drink. But yeah, this place is turning pretty nice. All I need to do now is put a little home out here. So I don't have to live where I'm doxed. Oh, there's a coyote right there. All right, everybody. Day four of this Texas Snowmageddon 2026. My baby kangaroo is still alive, praise God. All these animals are just fine here. I think the time has come. I can finally let these guys out. Kevin and Karen and their inbred granddaughter and ostriches are doing great in there. And Boo Boo is also doing phenomenally well. By the end of today, I'll be able to go ahead and let these guys out to drink from their pond again. First, I'm going to go ahead and let Boo Boo out this way. Now he can live out here with this pond and the kangaroos if you want. I'm opening up this fence so these guys can go over and drink from the pond. But wow, we did it, Kevin. We did it. You survived. I'm going to go ahead and move this. Hey, Kevin, you're free. You don't have to attack the fence anymore. You don't have to do that. Kevin. Kevin, you don't have to attack that fence anymore. Kevin, you're not thinking about attacking me now, are you? You're not considering attacking me, are you? You're not actually considering attacking me. All right, everybody. These guys are now fine. But first, I'm going to do an ostrich toe inspection. Look at your toes, boys. Let me take a look at your toes. Let me see. Okay, those toes are fine. Those toes are fine. They seem fine. And they ate all of their food. And Kevin seems fine. I sure hope he doesn't try to attack me and slip on ice. But now these guys have full access to the same paddock they used to. Tons of food in there. Now they finally have plenty of fresh water to drink that doesn't come from a five-gallon bucket. Everything is back to being as it should be here at the Urban Rescue Brand. Peacock moment. Another day of thawing my gallon at the Sauna at Crunch. Oh my goodness, you guys. Garbanzo beans just walked over to the baby kangaroo and pecked him. Also, Poggers is out running around. All my animals are hanging out together today. Everything is as it should be again. I am going to need to go feed the cappies pretty soon. But look at Garbanzo beans chasing him around. Oh, they're so cute. Poggers is just digging in the snow. All right, everybody. It looks like all the snow is finally starting to melt. And soon I will give Poggers back to the fox husk. But for now, I'm going to let him just run around. He has a little tag with his name on his collar and my number. So if he runs away to the Dollar General again, that's okay. But all of his food is over there. And as soon as all this snow melts, I'm going to let the cappies back outside. For now, I still have to feed him with the bucket. First, I'm feeding myself because Uncle Ben has not eaten anything in like a day. Look at how he's just sitting there waiting for me to let him back in. Remember how I said Poggers has my number on his collar? First thing he did was just run onto the highway. Some homeless guy walking by said that he went this way. So I'm walking this way. He loves being a horrible dog. And he was just at this person's house. And he's absolutely covered in mud. Perfect. Now I have to give him another bath before I bring him inside. But that's what happens, you guys. I give him a whole steak and then he runs away. He's still running away to the Dollar General. Yep, there he goes. As much as I love him so much, I probably am going to consider rehoming him soon. And I'll sell him to you guys for $5,000. Send me an email. And for a $5,000 donation, you can have this dog that is so loving and perfect. He's basically a cat. The second you let him outside, he's gonna run away. I'm trying to put weight on this boy. So I just gave him a ton of puppy food with that ground beef and all the tallow in there mixed in. All right, Poggers is safe and sound in here. Now I gotta give water to all these dang binguses. Thankfully, the water that we have in here for the crocodilians is still very full. These guys don't even want to go in the water. Thirsty, thirsty little boys. Don't worry, children. Everybody's gonna get some water. Just wait your turn. Look how he's just climbing on top of them. Oh my goodness, this is so funny. Don't worry, kids. You'll have a whole pond pretty soon. And if you're new to the channel and wondering why we're hoarding so many capybaras, we're not hoarding or breeding capybaras yet. This is the Capybara Conservation Coalition. We're conserving the species. Welcome back to the Capybara Conservation Coalition. Here we do a little bit of wildlife rescue and rehabilitation. And we also conserve the species of the capybara. Although they are a species of least concern, they are poached widely everywhere. And people in this great state of Texas do indeed hunt them. What if we just kept them in here like this for forever? Coincidentally, the city's also cracking down on me having animals that are not considered livestock according to their arbitrary laws. These are my house pets. They don't need to be considered livestock. They live in my home. I keep them all in here. They're happy. Look at them. They're so happy. I'm gonna keep them in here the whole year. Let the grass grow back outside. I'm just gonna leave them in there. Hold on because we got to... Monday left me broken. Tuesday I was through with hoping. Wednesday my empty arms were open. All right, everybody. I went to a buddy's place for a bonfire and then someone called me about this hawk. This is very strange, you guys. I've never seen this bird before in my life. He's definitely pretty cooked. He got hit by a car, I assume. And he's very cold. I'm gonna go ahead and put him in an incubator. But it looks like he's flapping his wings. I think he might be okay. I'm not sure what this little guy is, but he looks really cool. These timbies are gonna have to stay away. Okay, I got him set up in the incubator. I had to give him fluids so I couldn't film that because I am only one man. Sure do miss having a staff here. But this is the off-season. I can't really afford to be paying people in the off-season to just sit around do nothing. Now that I'm looking back at those photos, I think it's a juvenile red tail. And as you can see, I still have a problem with the little blinking light in the cabin here. Maybe old Uncle Ben's never gonna get that fixed. There's the old field where whistling diesels Ferrari can't follow. Heck of a year, 2023. Heck of a year. Yeah, old Uncle Ben remembers that like it was yesterday. All right, everybody. Going back down to 20 degrees tonight. Everything that melted is just gonna freeze again. And it looks like these little guys are happy and healthy. Especially this precious little baby. He's gonna be nice and warm tonight with his mom. All right, everybody. I'm about to go to the gym and... Come on, no bean. You guys sure do look thirsty now. What are all these little noises that you're making? Well, the first and the worst freeze is over. It looks like we did have some casualties, but it is still an active hive. And it's been a week and they all survived. But that's it for now, you guys. I'm headed to the Waco Municipal Court Building to talk to the judge. Because I keep getting all these letters from Pete Irwin at the City of Waco code office. Apparently my eight-foot fence that I've had for four years now is too high. They also got the zoning wrong here. Petey boy's also getting on me again about having exotic animals. Even though this includes rhinos and bison and all other kinds of cringe. Capybaras are not included, apparently. So I'm gonna talk to the judge and see if hopefully we can just get this dismissed. Okay, so update. I prayed before I walked in and the judge just came out of nowhere. Walked right up to me and said, so what are we dealing with today? I'm gonna be honest with you guys. Me cutting my fence down to six feet literally endangers my life. Because some of you have no sense of boundaries. Look at how this root is just growing through the ground here. But I am pleading not guilty and I think it's gonna go well, hopefully. Please toss a prayer up for us. Apparently because I'm a full-time student, I get to have a little pre-trial hearing. Okay, that is the fifth time I've called this code officer. And no, old Petey boy does not want to pick up. That's fine, I'm gonna go to his office. And no good deed goes unpunished, you guys. There's always going to be opposition. All right, I just had my conversation with the code officers. Bear in mind, I am a full-time grad student and I also got a crow, a feral hog, another injured owl, and a ton of baby squirrels and rabbits yesterday. So it's time to lawyer up. If any of you guys are animal or real estate attorneys, please hit me up. I've got a team of folks already, but I could always use another specialist. Regardless, for the next year or so, all the videos that you'll see on my property of cafe bars and kangaroos have been from the last year. So in 2026, sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy as Uncle Ben shows you everything that happened in 2025. As always, I love you guys. I appreciate you. Thank you so much for watching this video. And I'll see you in the next video. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. Dang, we really out here putting the fries in the bag.
