Ferrets Tunneling In Snow

[@Flap999]

Fantastic video! Really made me smile. I miss my 2 little ones every day. :)

[@Fluffishy]

Thats too cute! i miss my ferret, crawled through the dog door when mom was sleeping, poor Midian T.T

[@Broccolily]

Aww that is so sweet! They look really interested in what they're doing, love their names by the way!

[@Jaxmegaherz]

Their winter coat is no nice! So fluffy! I love it! I wish we had snow in Australia so mine could play like this!

[@rubycat13]

That's cute. Ferrets love old weather. What a great time they were having!!!

[@tiandi5585]

Cold weather is the best.

[@RangerGordon]

I live in Utah, too--our ferrets liked tunneling in the snow for short periods (snow is pretty much the same temperature everywhere) but you have to be careful that they don't get lost, and be aware that they can get cold very quickly. Keep an eye (and a leash) on them at every moment--otherwise, they could freeze to death. There's a video on KZbin where people filled their bathtub with snow for their ferret to play in--you might try something like that!

[@minetruly]

Amazing! Look at the length of that tunnel! My ferret doesn't like the snow. You are so lucky you have such ambitious diggers!

[@kendallb8412]

Thanks link for telling me to watch this bc it made my day 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@StrawberryPocky06]

I didn't know ferrets liked snow. Mine hated water with an undying passion! And the outdoors. But then, each is different to another. So cute!

[@dmt0709]

What a great adventure for these cute little creatures!

[@Baconman98]

Lol I love your ferrets :-) ....... I wish I had some

[@leopardontheprowl]

this is such a nice video! They look like really happy ferrets

[@ariadnae1978]

These guys are sooo cute!

[@punktattooguy7439]

Here because Link. :)

[@youhav2trustme]

I bet their very cold but their having so much fun that they can't fell anything but snow and the other ferret(s)!LOL

[@Fiddlestiiicks]

I used to have three ferrets. I miss them alot

[@StarVashi]

so beautiful! I love the video!

[@irllcd13]

Haha, I love their little tethers.

[@g2thumbs1]

Ferrets are the best live entertainment ever and the least understood and appreciated critters I know of.

[@bed-bugg]

haha they look like they are having fun you've got wonderful ferrets ^_^

[@MelodiaSeira]

It would be so cute to make them little home made ferret jackets for the winter.

[@BAK87]

adorable ferrets you have there =)

[@KoriTora]

that's too funny! love the homemade harnesses. ;)

[@iagmusicandflying]

Much like liquid water, snow can be any temperature that supports the state. True that snow will take longer to change temperature than air, but if you put snow in a 50 below environment, it will eventually reach 50 below in temperature (conservation of energy requires it). Snow can make good shelters because it insulates well and will be kept solid from the cold on the outside, while allowing the inside air to warm up.

[@pear2apple]

Thats cute! I hope mine enjoy the snow too. I may have to bring snow inside for them to play in it. They're both afraid of water, so who knows how that will go!

[@silver-spoon-fed]

It's a series of tubes.

[@dracomancer01]

ferrtes in the midwest/east coats tend to grow a lot thicker winter coat then the ferrets here on the west coast due to the difference in weather, as long as theyre not out there for a prolonged period of time its perfectly fine to let them have fun in the snow :)

[@DJShawty2]

Aww they love the snow! So cute! ^_^

[@saturn226]

I never thought you could bring a ferret out in the snow. I was always afraid it would be too cold for mine. But judging from that fuzzed up tail. They are having a ton of fun.

[@barockhill]

ive never seen snow and niether has my ferret but she does love the beach and the surf!

[@mysticwest]

aw so cute. my one ferrets name is gizmo too. my 2 ferrets like the snow too but ive never seen them tunnel like that haha

[@_Brin_]

Awesome! If only there was snow near where I live!

[@KairiHawkeye]

It's so cute how they pop up unexpectedly like that :D

[@TechnoOwler]

lol they are having fun :3 cute ferrets

[@DNAblues]

Excellent video. They are so cute?

[@anahera03]

Ferret's were bred to be hunting animals. People went send them into rabbit warrens (systems of tunnels) and the ferrets job was to chase the rabbits out into the hunters net. Some people still use them for hunting, but mostly Ferret's are kept as pets, but they still have a love for tunnels.

[@ChrisRobTV]

i didnt know ferets were such good diggers! so cute!!!!!

[@KatyM0nster38]

wow i alwways thougth ferrets liked the warm better then cold... my ferret gets cold easy... and we live in florida lol mine loves to dig too lol :D cute! :)

[@caittie11]

aw the brown one looks like my ferret ollie

[@lolinternetslol]

@beberosa1028 IIRC those things originated in high latitude, high elevation areas so they're pretty well equipped to deal with cold weather. Wouldn't be surprised if that's part of the reason for keeping ferrets cool being an issue with taking care of em. (Or so I hear.)

[@yaoi1yuri]

this is so cute. to see them going into this hole and coming out from a hole elsewer..

[@aclairday]

Oh, now I can't wait for the next snow! I'm gonna have to take mine out on leashes to tunnel. It never occurred to me.

[@tamadrummer21]

yea I know, but when I move back to cali after college, I'm definitely gonna get one. I mean look at them, they are like the most entertaining pet ever!

[@milkchocolate9590]

here because link fourced me

[@elleniris]

god ferrets are so cute! especailly that white one. someday when i have the proper means i would love to have a pair. they seem like wonderful little animals to have. but for now i can hardly aford my sweet little rats... so ill stick to one focus at a time. so cute though

[@RandomNeat]

that's awesome lol wish i had something my ferrets could tunnel in looks like they have a lot of fun

[@GiraffeDots1]

ferrets? illegal ? i cant imagine. i cant live without my ferret

[@RMZweasel]

They're hardy little critters, actually better in cold than heat. I should let mine try out snow next winter, they love to tunnel!

[@WOLFIEweasel]

I love your white's stripey tail!

[@briddybear]

My ferrets Sweetie and Snoball love the snow too lol!

[@Hollywooodish]

This winter.. I'm going to try this with my ferret. He's still a puppy, so this will be his first winter =)

[@just_kos99]

They're as likely to come back as a cat, meaning you never know. Mine were almost always leashed. I let one walk around loose one time and he spied a hole under the porch and beat me to it. He came out after about 1 1/2 hrs, with me shaking the treat cup for him and offering raisins, but he was no worse for wear. Had fun exploring in the dirt.

[@Hawkwind28]

bottle brush tail! I love it :)

[@nektulosnewbie]

Cute little pink noses, reminds me of my old albino's when she'd get scared.

[@ClinkClink7]

If you train them when they are little it helps a lot. they wont like it at first but then after a while they get so excited to go outside that they forget all about the leash or harness!

[@Auctionedllama]

Lol, I couldn't help but notice both of them were really scared; they're tails were poofed out like a porcupine. XD

[@zeckie06]

my two ferrets like snow too! its really funny to watch them when they play there in the snow.

[@daryljimenez6787]

Please tell me they aren’t dead

[@DemonShuriken87]

@beberosa1028 old comment is old, but Ferrets originate in Germanic countries and the Netherlands, with the Mynk being from Russia. They are very well equipped to handle the cold. The reason their bodies are shaped like that is for burrowing, and their fur gets very thick in the winter time. It would be mean NOT to let them out into the snow once in a while if you lived where it got snow.

[@ThisIsHuas]

@Hedgepook depending on the environment if they would die or not. They were introduced to New Zealand to control rabbit populations or something & there are still feral colonies of them living semi wild, but that's because of the climate there & the abundance of food sources.

[@Rita1972]

Ferrets have a very distinctive smell about them. It's not repulsive in any way. When my ferrets are around, I can always tell it from the odor in the air. My husband says that they smell horribly. My daughter totally disagrees with him and thinks that they smell good. At the pet store, their cages have terrible odor coming out. I think it has to do with their diet. I want to tell you one thing - their bowel movements and urine don't have a strong odor whatsoever (vs. cats or dogs).

[@DarthNitsua360]

THEY LOOK EXSACTLY LIKE MY FERRETS! Sam and Maxine. I

[@MangoDaSkunk]

snow is too too much fun for a ferret, they go nuts!

[@jmench74]

They are highly tolerant of cold, but are don't do so well with temps over 80deg F. They normally have a much thicker coat in the winter than summer.

[@AthenaOfArgos]

My Tallulah looks exactly like Gizmo!! Dark nose and all!

[@Hedgepook]

@sanchofirestorm Black footed ferrets are an exception. And they're also an endangered species, so by numbers, they're a poor example when referring to ferrets as a whole. BF ferrets are found in the wild, yes. But the common domestic ferret (originating in Europe) is not able to survive in the wild. (Or hasn't been known to for approx 2,500 yrs.) Another exception however, is a ferret/polecat hybrid, which is able to survive in the wild, as seen in New Zealand and Australia. I hope this helps.

[@burgerwisdim]

2 really cool friends

[@myguineapigworld]

SO CUTE!

[@BlueLumi8692]

i used to have two ferrets that look exactly like those, except my white one was an albino X3 thats so cute n.n

[@BattyBitz]

It's like that in a lot of places. It snows into late April where I'm from.

[@TheErikazul]

I have a ferret. heis so cute. he has the cutest eyes

[@ByeByeBelly]

They are having fun diggin

[@rockinchik06]

I know! lol Mine hated anything cold, when I had a ferret. He wouldn't even get near water w/out clinging on to me for dear life lol

[@RBBanner]

@jimmydpsk8 Well, like anyone playing in the snow, yes, they could get sick. Just don't leave them out there. It's okay to let them play in it for a little while. They like to dig and snow is fun for them to dig in

[@bones.and.botanicals]

ya i take her in after a second and when she warms up i take her out again and then she warms up in the house and goes in her cage or plays etc.. snow is not the same everywhere. some places are more icy and snow is different in different places.

[@NTL1991]

Ferrets were actually used to run wires in the walls of buildings long ago... Nice video

[@DreachFhoula]

look like they were having fun :P

[@sweetaimers21]

omg my ferrets love to dig and i never even thought of snow. i live in minnesota. i didnt know snow was ok. whats the lowest temp they can be out in?

[@mjohnnidis]

@mrsgarfield1998 Ferrets sleep when theyre BORED. My ferret had the run of my house and he was awake 15 hours a day. If ur ferret is sleeping all the time then ur simply not playing with it. If u have time 2 dedicate 2 playing with your ferret and let it out of its cage id say no less than 15 hours then get one! They are amazing.

[@truevengeance2801]

FERRET:well im off back home cya... lol

[@Healy245]

LOVE :D I wish my ferret would tunnel!!!!

[@PalleRasmussen]

From Wiki, the source of all knowledge in the world- LOL!!! ferrets have a natural lifespan of 7 to 10 years.

[@cloudgirl150]

They look just like my ferrets!

[@2degucitas]

Ferrets have been kept by people as pets and hunters for a long time. People would tie a cord around them and send them down rabbit holes to catch and kill the rabbits for meat. Digging and looking for prey comes naturally to ferrets, so they are in HEAVEN here!

[@woodrax]

Pretty smart, putting the long string on them. :)

[@irishgt]

you should read up above, he addressed the issue. Coming from a long time ferret owner I understand why he did it that way

[@MrDreigon]

that is so awesome!

[@CarlyNancy]

I LOVE IT SO MUCH

[@Jaxmegaherz]

Not really, they have close relatives that live in Europe where it gets cold in winter and they do fine. As mentioned they grow a nice fluffy winter coat that keeps them warm.

[@85rexi]

oh ur ferrets looked like they enjoyed that :) i fink my ferret loki would go mad in snow he loves to dig and make tunnels shame we had none this year :(

[@makarthamin]

not really. they can get heat stroke really easily though from what ive heard. the animal is native to europe so they can handle temperate climates like new england states. got mine from petco with a certificate saying he'll service in temps as low as 10 degrees fahrenheit

[@Mydnytefantasy89]

Dude, my dad's name was Ronnie. That's awesome. And in Scrubs, Turk(maybe Terk, not sure) and JD wanted to make a robot and name it Gizmo lol

[@JoeyMace28]

They are related to the wolverine! Little wolverines! :D

[@Clavatwarrior]

How cute. Ferrets can dig? lol

[@irishgt]

they are also very fast and if a dog or a cat is walkig down the street you want a way to "yo-yo" the ferret into your arms and out of harms way.

[@KatashiaFantasy101]

Oh, ha! so cute!

[@briddybear]

Yea ferrets are awesome!

[@mjohnnidis]

@JncGwen Don't be! as long as you don't stay out longer than 20- 25 minutes then your fine! I know it seems weird but ferrets do better in the cold than the heat! Don't worry, worry more when you take them outside when it's warm. If its over 89 degrees keep your ferrets INSIDE!

[@KitsuneYoukai]

I doesn't always mean they are scared when their tails puff out like that. It can show excitement too! ^^

[@GNBomb]

This reminda me of my ferret! LOL!

[@TomRawk]

@skaterboy0206 Not exactly. I'm pretty sure ferrets tunnel, in snow and dirt. It's kind of exactly the thing they would do in the wild. It's certainly not abuse though. When I was a kid our white pet ferret escaped the house through a dryer vent in the middle of winter, plenty of snow on the ground. We thought she was dead but we found her eating cat food on the porch two weeks later, and she was even fatter than before.
