I got sent this video from a friend of my sister’s who knows how batty I am about ferrets.

I’ve seen it before but it still amazes me that they were able to train the ferrets and the fox to stay so quietly on the lady before given the go-ahead to scatter :D

I bet whoever trains those ferrets has managed to get them all to poop in their litter tray, not to dig in couches and all the other things which I have been a total failure getting my guys to do, or rather NOT do, over the many years of ferret ownership!

I’ve found that some of my ferrets have been super willing to listen and to obey me. Others shrugged their shoulders and carried on scratching at a closed door or ruining the couch or whatever else it was I didn’t want them to do!

Ferrets are such intelligent little animals but they all have different personalities. As I said, some are totally eager to listen and do as commanded. Others are as stubborn as a mule and no matter how often you tell them the same thing, they won’t obey.

Unfortunately I think that’s where some ferrets, who are bought by inexperienced or uncaring people, come a-cropper. Those owners don’t understand that ferrets all have different personalities and if they have one of those stubborn types who don’t listen, then I think the owners get all bad tempered and annoyed and that’s when they start abusing their pet.

I’ve heard such terrible tales of ferrets who’ve been kicked, or whose teeth have been pulled with pliers, or other heartbreaking stories which have reduced me to tears. It really grieves me to think that those kinds of people think it’s acceptable to harm an innocent animal for whatever reason.
