I have only just discovered this programme and Antonio and wow!!!! I would love to have his creativity and animal empathy when I reincarnate. Fabulous and a real inspiration. Thank you.

I really loved what you did in the basement. You really have great insight.
The only thing that bothers me is the jam sessions with all the animals down there. It would be way too loud and would cause stress. Other than that you and your team are awesome ❤❤

The reptile enclosures are alright. But the fish and mammal enclosures looked too small and it looke nothing like their natural habitat. Why is the fish enclosure near the shower.

Just get like 1 or 2 similar types of animals and make a huge cage for them

I don't really think people should keep exotic pets if you're gonna, then yea, do it like this. Antonio builds some great stuff. I especially like it when it's just for dogs and cats so it looks like a normal house. That catwalk in that atrium is awesome.

If you have to compromise your pets safety because you want an easy time cleaning their cage. You don’t deserve to own that pet.

I don’t understand why everyone’s so quick to judge, these animals probably aren’t in these enclosures 24/7, they look like they’re living in luxury compared to most exotics, things look different on tv, they’re probably huge enclosures in person, and the animals look very comfortable to me, as for why they have them, why does it matter? As long as the animals and the owners are happy, that’s all that matters,

I feel so bad for these animals.. That bird (looks like an Amazon) is alone all day in that small cage
Why would you keep that many animals if you fulfill their needs, this is stupid. You should keep less and make their life the best you can

How tragic it is to put a fish tank in a toilet. All the chemicals and sewage particles actually mix in the air and affect the water quality, essentially killing the fish unless they do LOTS of water change
@abirtaleb2503

I feel sorry for the birds they don’t get no renovations while all the other animals have them

He’s obviously very passionate about his work and he’s put a lot of thought into each enclosure as well as the total overall design

Stunning! Great effort. They have their own zoo! It’s awesome 👏

That fish tank is way over stocked. not to mention all the other points in the comments. Stick to Cats, dogs, Bunny and bird rooms. Thats what you are good at. I owuld have said i wasnt building that if it were me.

The parrots do NOT have suitable cages

Moral of the story, don't let people who have no idea about the animal's needs… make cages for them.

When the bathroom is shown: wow that's such a stylish bathroo-
"All of these are getting replaced"
Oh. Right. Of course.

This couple could’ve had half of the animals in the video and would still be less space for the animals, I can’t imagine the time would go cleaning this

that iguana needs more height too hmm. it needs a better bath and more space in general. the skink looked öole to was either a Merauke Blue-tongued skink or Irian Jaya blue-tongued skink… neither do well in that arid environment – they need high humidity and loads of moist substrate to dig… and it didn't have that either. That animal will suffer 🙁 The shed will get stuck to it and it will drop its toes from the blood circulation being cut off…. the skink also needs a bigger terrarium.

Why do they have 22 animals when they clearly can't accommodate their needs

Wtf

May 4, 2026 at 12:37 am
Some of the small animals should not be using wire wheels… it can cause damage to their feet. Also, the aquatic turtles need a ton of space.

Don't the animals need sunlight?

Am I the only one that noticed that when they showed the chinchilla in the pipe, the pipe it was already broken. The camera literally showed the chinchilla sitting over the broken part and cut when it went to chew it again

Is this really doing anything good for the animals though? Most of those animals need way more space than they were given. Those poor prairie dogs can't even dig real dirt. None of those animals were in proper set ups before but they weren't in proper set ups after either. This is a great example of how people use animals for their own entertainment. Great thing to show off at your next party but wont be so great when your beardie becomes stunted and your animals develop health problems because of the poor ventilation. in the rodent cages. Its obvious they went for aesthetics over necessity.
@schoobydoo1646
May 4, 2026 at 12:37 am
What about air ventilation??
@Herrgabby
May 4, 2026 at 12:37 am
i feel like many of these cages are too small, or set up wrong. the only thing that was kinda good was the hedge hog and tortise cages. any1 else agree?
@zlare44
May 4, 2026 at 12:37 am
These enclosures are just disgusting im sorry. The iguana needs a 10x10x8 at least, my friend is 16 and has hers in a 20x10x10. As for the other reptiles calcium sand is such a horrid substrate, the tort has pyrmiding and no areas to have her holes stable since theyre using cypress mulch. Mammal wise and bird wise the enclosures are too small, not enough enrichment. Im just wow how did they manage to do so many things wrong.
