@@Aleks-no2oo Oh, yeah. You see more in depth stuff on his club and all his pets are all set up with their enclosures and areas as well at attention for each. It's really nice to see. He's one of the best pet owners I've seen. And for context, I'm a big slitckler for proper pet care. Lol.

Been a while since I last watched anything from this channel... DAMN Bindy looks big and strong now... you can really see she's a pitbull! I still remember when she was still a tiny shaky little pup.

If only they knew how lucky they are to be in your captivity. The best circumstances that life could give them. These animals are truly blessed. I'm sure they actually do know.

[@HFS0744]

I love how you train your mink, it really is fascinating!

[@JosephCartertheMinkMan]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@kimlindseyOH]

Spark looks to be a great addition to your Mink Squad! LOL I got a bit worried when I saw his large teeth next to your nose! You are probably playing with him the way he would have played with his littermates in the wild, so he's developing as naturally as possible - the Mink Man Way! Bindi never ceases to amaze: just brilliant! Thanks for posting Joe!

That’s good to hear. Unfortunately our animals don’t live as long as we’d like. You’ve lost some that I really had a healthy respect for, such intelligent creatures and full of love.

I can’t get enough of this! I tell everyone about the guy who uses minks to hunt rats. I love the psychology behind it, and your natural ability to read them and get them to do what you want. Amazing!

[@cripz1436]

Hi Joseph it's been a while since I watched content again nice to see this little one being trained. I got to catch up on the old videos! 😮

[@amyelsner2063]

Such a cute little buddy. Makes me wish my younger ferret that we loss to a rapid onset illness the vets weren't able to catch and treat in time. Then the loss of him caused one of my 8 year old ferrets pass, probably of heartache. I have one more 7-8 year old ferret remaining they we spoil for as long as we have him.

[@RICDirector]

Theres simply no telling!! Spin the wheel and take a guess!

[@billcovington1380]

Thank you for making this, I found it fascinating. It was particularly interesting to learn the specifics of shaping the mink's caching behavior. I was a little surprised Spark doesn't nip you at all when you're handling him (was it Sherlock that nipped at anything that moved, including your hand?). Spark seems to be a very calm animal but maybe that will change as he matures (as you noted). Is it correct that Spark only bonds closely with one care-giver (you, in this case) and is indifferent/stand-offish towards all other people, like he is to dogs & sheep? By the way, this is a well-produced video, too, it's clear you've been doing this quite a while now.

[@gaetiekn]

I will never get tired of watching how much care and devotion you put into your animals 🤍. It's so beautiful and inspiring to see. They look so healthy and have their natural needs perfectly met 👌. I am curious though: did you find a reliable vet who can take care of them in case they become ill? I am guessing that not every veterinarian is familiar with minks and wildlife healthcare in general?

[@michellesteevens8235]

I love your videos, been watching for years. Do you Place your mink. with people?Or how do you deal with the ones that don't hunt well for you? I own a tannery in oregon and I have a rabbit tree as well, so i'm not opposed to culling. I'm just curious what you do.

[@JosephCartertheMinkMan]

I place them with people who want to try hunting or fishing with a mink.

I'm really curious about the pros and cons of using mink compared to ferrets - it seems like ferrets can do the same sort of job and might be easier to handle because they're domesticated. Have you ever worked with ferrets?

Do minks ever show affection to you? Or are they too much of solitary animals to really demonstrate that

Yes, some of the ones I bottle raised do

@@RICDirector I live in NYC. I keep my bedroom window open and the squirrels climb up the fire escape and jump through my window and onto my bed in my bedroom every day. I have names for all of them. I give them nuts of all kinds and they trust me.People have to understand that they aren't dogs or cats. They initially think your fingers are food but once they get to know you, they won't bite. They don't have rabies and they are super clean,. They smell like a stuffed plush toy from the dry cleaners. They each have their own remarkable personality and I've learned so much about life from watching them. I've been through good times and tragedy with my beloved squirrels. I love squirrels.
