Opening Up A Bit

I have to admit, I put off starting a Patreon for a long time. It’s already difficult enough coming up with content and putting it out on a day in, day out basis. In my mind, how in the world could I possibly keep up with doing MORE of that?

How wrong was I?

Social media is a bit of a toxic, ruthless place to share content. You can reach so many people, from all over the world, but the algorithm rules your ability to do so.

Every piece of content I put out, I have to think about broad scale appeal. Does this grab your attention fast enough? Will people watch the whole thing? Should I shorten it more? Clip out that cute little bit so it’s a bit shorter and retains viewers longer?

It’s important, and it works, but it SUCKS.

I think that’s why I already love this platform SO much.

I can share all the fun little things that I’m working on around the farm. Things that don’t immediately scream CAPYBARA. Or I can share the full 4 minute video of Pumpkin eating a fun snack that I had to trim to a minute.

Getting to share to a group who really wants to see the ins and outs, and loves the minuscule details of caring for our animals?

It’s already so much more fun and rewarding than I ever imagined.

So thank you guys so much! We’re so happy to have you here!

Watching all the day to day interactions between the animals is great! I love the Capybaras, but also the other animals, and I want to support them all and you! :)

I know my family wants to see it all.

It is very interesting and informative to see how the farm lives, what needs to be done for the comfort of animals and people🐕🐈‍⬛🪿. Although I adore capybara, I also enjoy watching videos of other animals, especially their interactions. They are all wonderful. So I'm glad to see all the videos. I like the way you take care of the animals 💚✨ and the living conditions they have🏡.

I'm autistic and my special interest atm is definitely capybaras and cheesecake and pumpkin are my favourites by miles. That said getting to see the BTS workings is great and eye opening I of course love all the animals that you post and the work you do is amazing. Never been quicker to support a patreon than I have this one

We are all thankful to have you and the darkwings critters always brighten our day!!

It’s also great being able to show some of the projects the funds go towards! That batting cage net was like $250 but it was totally worth it 😅

I’m loving it here. I’ve loved watching Cheesecake grow, and look forward to her and Pumpkins relationship. And Trixie is so awesome! And everyone else 😁 your page has been much better than the random capy clips all over social media.

I can speak for myself, it’s amazing watching this extra footage. All the animals get taking great care of, so spending money for a cause is worth it 😇
