@@giselafiege7169 Yes, ideally it is the best. Unfortunately humans have done much to destroy so much of the wild that it is oftencthe case that rescued wild animals fare better in captivity. When done right they live longer and healthier lives than they would in the diminishing and/or compromised "wild". So important that we keep open minds about what's truly best for these animals.
You don’t get this from the video at all but Roberts whole property in England is designed to be habitat for both stoats and weasels. BBC Natural World Series did an episode on his house last year and it’s pretty incredible
“BBC, Weasels - feisty and fearless”. It was a great documentary. From memory, I think Whisper actually came back and stayed with him permanently in the end.
I agree and it was beautiful and touching how he prepared the little ones to re-enter the wild. Love your comment and all the best to you and everyone so fortunate to find this vid. 🙏🏼
He is. He's a wildlife artist with a gallery in Yorkshire. He is also a UA-camr who makes excellent wildlife videos. His lifestyle seems to give him the time to rescue animals too.
Having a gradual release like that is genius. Lets the animals choose when they are ready to be fully independent, and allows them a safe separate space to go back to for a while as they find their feet.
I like how he transitioned them at different stages and allowed them to explore at their own pace instead of just throwing them in the wild. I imagine it would help build their confidence and independence.
That's why there's people who specialise in wildlife rehabilitation. It's not easy 🥴 I rescued 2 week baby raccoons once and it's lots of work, teaching them what they're supposed to do lol
Robert Fuller in UK is one of the best wildlife conservationists in the world. He has done many wonderful works to save and release different species into their natural environments. His has also documented in fine details in his stories. Such a truly remarkable gentleman.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We rescued a baby squirrel at our house and we really tried to get him to go back in the yard, but he was having none of it. He liked his tower cage, hammock, and not having to compete for food...plus no fleas. We were thinking rescue and rehabilitate, Buddy decided on "pet." Guess who won? Lol
I’ve a rescue stoat. I got her at 4 weeks and she’s a legend. I couldn’t put her back in the wild though because she had an injury. She is best friends with my dog now. They go everywhere together.
What is she like as a pet? They look utterly adorable but so do ferrets, who are far too smart for their own good and will give you a nip if you're not careful... I have a feeling stoats might be similar. LOL
Amazing and inspirational. I know nothing about animals. I have only had dogs as pets. Since they both died, I have been in mourning, and had resolved not to have any more pets. But this whole channel is causing me to change my mind. This man is so caring and knowledgeable, I would watch this video over and over again. Wonderful to see.
I know how you feel. I am heartbroken when my babies pass. But keep in mind that you had them their whole life. Everyday you made sure they were happy and healthy. Everyday they had was a good day because of you. Maybe you could try fostering first for a bit. You still have the opportunity to help the animals that need it the most, but it's much easier to say goodbye when it's to a forever family and not just forever. ❤
I like looking at the animal & pet videos. But I ran into a series of videos years ago from kids. Tlhere's a 'thing' where if a child has a few pets they'll do what is called a 'cage tour' where a youngster will film all their pets in turn introducing & explaining about each. They'll say ".. and this is Bert, my hamster, I've had him 2yrs but I think he needs a new cage as it's too small, etc... and this is my mice cage with Lenny & Jenny inside, etc". Totally endearing as the child is explaining their little world and their take on it. I only watched 2 or 3 but I found them so 👍 cos the kids are getting educated, they're giving a 'presentation', could be chatting with like-minded peers online. It's an interest, a hobby and if it gets them away from a game console...
We made 'em all the time when I was a little guy, they're called blanket forts! You gotta get at least 5 big blankets; two for foundation, and three for roof and walls! then, you either get couch cushions for support, or if you're lucky, engage the kitchen chairs! Smaller throw pillows make for good bracing, also point the entrance AT the television, not directly in front of it.. gotta leave room for the pizza and stuff~
Honestly, I couldn’t have this job. I would be too attached and couldn’t let them go. Thank you for teaching these adorable creatures how to survive in the wild
@Alexander Freeman over here in New Zealand, if we see these stoats they get shot. They attack our native bird population, and may have caused one to go extinct
@Alexander Freeman Odd, because I can't find anything other than six wolves introduced to a protected park to take care of an overpopulation of moose - Also Canadian/Alaskan isn't a species of wolf so I'm unsure if you're talking about grey wolves or another subspecies. Wolves don't multiply fast as wolves mate-for-life and only have one breeding pair per pack (Alpha male and female) each year of 4 - 6 pups (most of which probably won't survive in the wild) and wild wolves normally only live for 4 - 5 years themselves. Also...I do hope you know that Alaska is a US State which holds two-thirds of the wolf population of 18,000. I don't see the problem - that's a small number of wolves compared to Canada's 60,000. But you were talking about propaganda yes?
@Alexander Freeman California is worse than that. They're the only state in the lower 48 which has banned domestic ferrets. They are scared of a feral ferret population decimating the local bird wildlife. First, feral cats are already doing that.. Second, the domestic ferret is so domesticated it is incapable of surviving in the wild for more than a few days, maybe 1-2 weeks at most. As proof of this guess how many feral ferret populations there are in the other 47 states where they aren't banned. 0. None. At all. Ever. Not a one since California banned the domestic ferret almost 90 years ago. Third, while we don't have a proper domestic ferret census guess which state is the #1 consumer of ferret related products? California. This suggests that California has more domestic ferrets than any other state. Yet every attempt at lifting the ban either through appeal to the Department of Fish and Game, or through the legislation proper, has failed.
@Alexander Freeman wanting to kill a stray house cat is sick and twisted under any circumstances. The proper solution is more funding towards municipal animal shelters so they can afford to take on more animals without having to euthanize, and responsible spay and neuter programs. You can handle problems like this without resorting to killing it just requires proper resource allocation. I would *kind of* understand if this were not a domestic animal, and if it could be hunted for food or something, but that isn’t the case. I’m also not even an “animal rights activist” at least not in the extreme sense. I eat meat, and I support sustainable and ethical meat farming as well as hunting for food.
God built us with an inborn sense of decency and compassion for His creation. Human beings are very good at overriding this innate and beautiful quality, to the point where we forget that why God made these creatures in the first place.
@Alexander Freeman They doesn't make them vicious, just hungry or threatened and trapped to the point of aggressively defending itself. A faithful dog would eat its owner's remains if left with the body and otherwise unfed.
@Alexander Freeman We are just the same. If you say otherwise, I beg to differ with history as my evidence. We are just, if not more, vile than any other animal. With as much good our knowledge and expertise does, it too does as much(if not more) bad and damage. To ourself and everything that surrounds us. Everyone is capable of harm and destruction, as well all that is benefitial and good.
I had no idea I could be so emotionally invested in 2 stoats, but when they met I nearly cried, they are so cute!! So glad you were able to rescue and release them
It was super cool to see how he structured their temporary home to mimic the wild. Seemed like a real nice seamless transition to get them back to the wild, so I really appreciate when I see that! :)
@@blushingfrieza This is odd for me to watch, as in NZ these are introduced pests that obliterate the local bird population. We have huge trapping programs for them and rats. Goddamn they are cute though.
He has a whole wildlife rehabilitation channel you might like if you haven't already checked it out. Also, a big thank you to you Megabattie for all that you do for bats and for people. Your channel is one of my happy places 💚
@@Megabattie I didn't know that. It makes a good name for a little bat, I can imagine him eating bananas with a lot of personality and not much grace lol
@@kerrytaylor1795 They don't generally eat bananas in the wild - the bananas are harvested before they are ripe. They do eat the banana flower though and ruin the fruiting. You can see the vid by searching in YT search bar for Megabattie/Ding Dong
you're a great man, kind and caring...... know that is prob silly to hear, but that was amazing to watch, how much you care...... 1 person out of 8billion thinks the world of what you did for that little lifeform..... and many thanks for doing it doing it for them, lots of love from Ireland bro
I'm so impressed with the thoughtfully constructed outdoor enclosure that includes a stone wall to acclimate the stoats to what is available on the property! This is wildlife rehab at its very best and Robert Fuller is one of those humble caretakers who understands that the needs of the animals come first. You're a fabulous role model!
True. But I worry that for kits that have never had a wild mother showing them the wild and the dangers thereof, that they're too raw and vulnerable to other animals. They've never been confronted with larger animals trying to kill them. Stoats have many natural enemies; predators from all kinds, including owls, hawks or larger carnivores such as the fox and particularly wild and domestic cats. Lack of available prey is probably the main cause of death for young stoats for which mortality is high. They could have lived longer in the naturalistic enclosure, at least until fully mature. I sure hope they're doing well.
@@c2jones I also was worried about that watching it... I was looking for someone who thought it too. Is it a matter of believing that they would know it by their instinct and knowing that the natural habitat's automatically better? I'm concerned...
@@cestlina Their natural instinct isn't enough to be in heightened awareness for predators. They've never known, seen or sensed any danger normally experienced by a mother moving and hiding them. These kits were both born without even sight. All they've ever known was the safety of humans looking after them. The wild of nature is very different and very dangerous. They won't be as wary as otherwise necessary. Unsuspecting stoats don't last long. They'll need plenty of pure luck.
@@c2jones hmmm.. my guesses seem to be known facts.. sadly. Then I would wish they had a sense of territory, even for a little bit, and come back. Otherwise.. wishing them that pure luck..💧
LIVE YOUR BEST LIVES, BABIES! You have just become a part of MY best life! Saved and shared so the goodness can ripple around the world. TY to the ones who do the work and share the love for these creatures that giggle with their whole bodies! Ooo! Want to tickle all little white tummies!
He has his own UA-cam channel incase you didn’t know! “Robert E Fuller” I love watching all the videos he shares with us. Definitely go over and give him a follow! 🥰
I've never seen anything so adorable, like she's looks at you like: " hey daddy o what we doing today???❤️❤️❤️😍😍adorable little cutie...and its paramount all these litle plays they do with each other it ensures better survival skills as adults, so happy you found him a friend 💖
@@angelas.9717 They are so , so adorable ...I miss my girls so much , silver part Angora ferret mum , Miss Woolworth & her 1/2 polecat chonk daughter , Polefat.
Happy to see two youngsters brought together in their formative years. Fair play to the foster-parents for their efforts & expense in doing their best for them! 👍 No animal should be raised alone without their own kind.
Well stoat young leave the nest having been impregnated by their fathers. Then they go out into the wild of wherever they have been introduced to and decimate vulnerable species. Nothing cute about these furry murderers, they are ecosystem threats in most places.
I genuinely think poor Whisper had a bit of a panic attack seeing the other stoat for the first time! Her initial reaction was the way I kinda imagine someone would act if they met their doppelgänger. 🤣 I could just sense a bit of "aaahhhh!!" before she calmed down and realized it was a possible friend. 😆
but otters are vicious and always in a pack...im worried about these two if they get in fight they are not going to win we see. Nature is best left alone....hoping for all the best for them
@@henrietta9206 Stoats can absolutely look after themselves. These two look cute but like almost all mustelids, they are genuinely fierce and easily as vicious as otters. Robert lives in North Yorkshire not far from me and while stoats are fairly common, otters are very rare. The likelihood of them ever encountering each other is remote.
They are so cute. I have never seen this animal before. I love the way you looked after them. How gorgeous. You’re a good man. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video 💯💯💯💯
Ever see two kittens meet? There seems to be an elaborate dance as both go through the steps "Will it eat me?", "Can I eat it?", "Will it steal my food?", etc.
It always makes me so sad when they get to go. Don't get me wrong! It's the right thing to do, and it's amazing, but, I always think about how sad I'd be lol
@Barkley Barkley But that's what I said, though. I completely agree. I just mourn the loss of the company, but of course the animal deserves to be in nature, like its intended.
Personally, I'm a bit worried that they won't survive the wild. Hopefully they do, but if they don't know how to find food and avoid predators (which I expect would be learned in youth), I worry that they might be in trouble.
A little odd that they were fully released into the wild with nothing but instinct to run them. Im obviously unfamiliar with stoats, but any other small animal released like this would surely be picked off as prey shortly. Chances are they aren't together today. Either one got picked off, they both got picked off, or they just ended up splitting by fault or accident.
So inspiring! A lot of time, care, expenses & patience was put into these tiny beautiful creatures. We all have some extra time in our hands to make a difference.❤😅🙏❤
Mr Fuller...l am an elderly lady in the southern u.s. and hadn't even ever heard of these little wonders...the utube sent me your video and l am so intrigued!! We are in pandemic mode and although l live in senior accommadations... l haven't a pet any longer. Please allow me to send you so much love and gratitude for the care and affection you poured into both these precious babies and how you created habitats for them until they could go out into the big world❤❤❤
@@PerpetuusTenebris I am also elderly and living in a nursing home for lack of somewhere else to go. No matter how you spell UA-cam, it’s never too late to meet Robert Fuller. Rest assured that nobody ever pretends to be old if they are not.
Yes They Don't Just Squeak Or Scream When They Are In Pain. This Is Why Humans Are And Always Will Be Slightly Less Intelligent Then They Hold Them To Be
I’ve never heard of Stoats before today. They have to be one of the cutest creatures on the planet! I give you much respect for being selfless enough to let them go. I don’t know that I could’ve been. I don’t know how long Stoats live, but I so hope they’re out there somewhere living their best lives. 🥰🥰🥰
Brilliant :D Everyone should check out Roberts channel his garden (that he calls Stoat City) is purpose built for filming/photographing British wildlife, loads of stoat videos and other wildlife like owls, foxes, badgers and kestrels that live around his property. Robert E Fuller is his full name and he regularly has stoats he's rescued when he finds lost kits.
@@chrism4841 Nevermind, lol. Just looked them up & while the name "stoat" is unfamiliar, "ermine" is not, nor weasel. So I know now that they are.a type of weasel, lol.
This guy is actually a UA-camr. He takes videos of owls and other birds. He’s really cool to watch! He even makes nests for birds so they can reproduce more easily.
@@sennystumpf2325 no, they’re stoats. Ferrets belong to the same ‘family’ but are different animals. Stoats are smaller, colored differently, and have many other differences.
This has brought tears to my eyes - such a caring man, who thinks that every small creature deserves a good life. And his talent for painting the creatures that he sees is just, well, stunning...no other word for it.
@@dylanzrim3635 Actually just watched a Documentary on this guy. He has built an entire Eco System on his property, one area is a Stout Habitat and the other is for Weasel's. He raises them from birth if they are orphaned, or he has at times actually taken in whole families if their Habitat is destroyed. He releases those that can be wild when they are ready, but they are still welcome back into the outdoor habit if they can not become wild. His house/workshop etc are in between the habitats. I am sure he does not do it all alone. He has placed cameras all over the habitats. Was able to watch a first time mother raise her offspring etc. He allows nature to take its course once the Stouts or Weasels are released. There is a group of Owls nearby and he does not interfere. The animals decide if they stay wild or return to their habitats.
@@dylanzrim3635 No, it's true that I don't know the guy but someone who does all that he does for wild creatures (and I wouldn't call stoats or weasels 'cute and furry', especially when they've grown but foxes stay cute and furry all their lives) is unlikely to shoot other wildlife willy-nilly. If you see his fabulous paintings on his website, you will see that foxes are amongst the subjects that he paints (from photos he's taken of all sorts of wildlife). Read Todd Stevens' post (above) and you will see just how much he is involved with wildlife. Some people are just made that way and thank goodness they are.
So lovely to see those two kiddos and a grown man taking care of them, almost if they were his own children. Thumps up to the man, and of course also to his two small ones❤❤❤
@@Analysta654 They're native throughout most of the Northern Hemisphere. I had them where I lived in the UK and supposedly they're native to where I live in the US now, but I've never seen one. I also don't find too many people who have heard of them.
What a great video to watch and to see how much this man has dedicated himself to looking after these animals and returning them to the wild. Just an awesome job.
I'm always afraid that once you have handled a animal it is destined to be dependent on humans after that....Kinda like taking in a feral cat.. and then trying to set it free only to find it dead in a week due to it not having the fear of humans.
He returned them to the wild so they can be dead quickly. Good job. Why people never don’t want to return themselves to the wild? They love concrete cages, roof over their head, easy food, etc.
@@katarzynaxx563 Even though your comment doesn’t deserve the time spent in responding. Obviously you enjoy the concrete cage yourself and all the trimmings since you are using a smartphone. Be reminded that our prehistoric ancestors dwelled in caves, that humans have lived for millennia in houses made of wood or stone so not all in concrete, some still dwelling in huts, thus preserving themselves from being eaten alive and natural cataclysms. On the other hand animals are better equipped to evolve in the w.ild except those domesticated, born in captivity or rescued after an accident that left them impaired from hunting to feed themselves and avoiding predators. Most rescues often lead to complete healing and release. To place it on a human level, you would not appreciate spending the rest of your life indoors or inside a hospital after having an illness or accident with serious trauma. You would be rehabilitated before returning home. Fortunately most people apply the same principle to the animal world. Treat, heal and let go. So that the wild animal will spend the rest of his life in his proper habitat i.e. the wilderness. Then of course he will run the inherent risk of meeting with danger just as in modern life humans run the unnatural risks of been run over by a vehicle, drowning, suffering a stroke, etc. That’s life, so face it or not XX, all living beings are mortal.
This was so nice to watch, people who raise young wild animals like this always amaze me, I used to have a friend who once raised a magpie chick, all that routine of feeding and learning it to fly etc, such dedication, and he seemed to get so much enjoyment from doing it all, after it had flown the nest so to speak it would come back regular and see him...
@@orangepeel1073 really you went down the list to repost your garbage life style, lol your just a troll and a bum lol wow, didnt rewrite it or anything, comes back to the parasites I warned you about.
Adorable yes but ferocious little animals capable of taking down prey four times their size. Their apex predators for there size tho they are little fun socks.
you are completely right that this is what you would call a short tailed weasel. fun fact for you. in the UK in the dark ages and middle ages only posh people could use the fur to trim clothing. henry the VIII had several hats trimmed in winter stoat fur that he was very fond of. i'm surprised living in virginia that you have not seen one. virginia is considered a stronghold for them in the US. if you do see one don't pick it up. the bit can be very nasty and you can get blood pensioning from them.

Amazing how your life is completely F**KED and nothing makes you happy anymore and you find yourself smiling from ear to ear watching this. This is therapy for me, keep them coming
its called animal therapy, animals that don't have issues with humans, like good dogs or animals raised by humans (like these here stoats), are very good at therapy even if they are unspecialized in it (even more if the therapy dog is trained for it), reason being, major source of depression for humans is the passage of time, they think too much about their past mistakes or how time has flown by on one side, or dread and think about the future and possiblities too much...the past and future are a constant source of tension...meanwhile animals don't really have this understanding of passage of time, they have memories, but they cannot think thoughts like "what will happen when I will be old?" or "why did I make that mistake back then and stayed alone cause of that?"...instead they are formally anchored in present reality by their instincts, and present, well, unless something is stressing you right exactly now, in this exact moment, like you are having pains or something, unless something like is happening, the present is not stressful, not depressing, you can breathe, you are not hungry, you are fine...dogs are down, when they are hurting, but 1 minute after it stops hurting they run around like nothing has happened, humans begin to dread the future due to past experience ("what if the pain returns???") instead of enjoying present....if you could only shut the brain up about the past and future...and that's where animals come in, they help you shut up about it anchoring you in present reality...actually kids do it too, and is also (among others) the reason why people too love their children or children in general...I mean, if you want to be properly functioning member of society, you do gonna worry about the future (and learn from past), but, you also gotta know when to shut that up, some people do drugs or alcohol, but that's short termed, bad for health and eventually it is just fooling yourself weakly, instead of facing it head on...animals help develop a head on approach, sports or work that is hard but you enjoy it do too, to a lower degree
Spelled341 I truly hope that whatever it is that your going through that you get through it and that someday really soon your life becomes that which most can only dream of. I have had a pretty rough existence. In fact it's been one mostly riddled with pain and suffering but I've had a few moments that would peek it's head up and bring some genuine joy. They've been far and few in between but I am doing all that I can to make it better for myself. I hope sincerely you do the same. I wish you love, I wish you happiness and I wish you Heaven!!!
Life sucks sometimes, friend. Keep your head high and work on the better parts of your life. Find things to make you happy and ditch what doesn't. Life is far too short to allow it to be fucked. ❤

Having a gradual release like that is genius. Lets the animals choose when they are ready to be fully independent, and allows them a safe separate space to go back to for a while as they find their feet.
The man behind the scene is a seasoned professional and certainly knows what he’s doing.
I think they just lost. They are kids, after all, went too far from home and forgot where it is xD
I love it, I feel like it is the least stressful way to release a rehabilitated animal.
You think they probably chipped them to just check on their whereabouts? See what their migrating patterns might be?
@@TheTony024 I mean he said he looked forward to catching up with them, so most likely yeah
I like how he transitioned them at different stages and allowed them to explore at their own pace instead of just throwing them in the wild. I imagine it would help build their confidence and independence.

We rescued a baby squirrel at our house and we really tried to get him to go back in the yard, but he was having none of it. He liked his tower cage, hammock, and not having to compete for food...plus no fleas. We were thinking rescue and rehabilitate, Buddy decided on "pet." Guess who won? Lol

What is she like as a pet? They look utterly adorable but so do ferrets, who are far too smart for their own good and will give you a nip if you're not careful... I have a feeling stoats might be similar. LOL

Amazing and inspirational. I know nothing about animals. I have only had dogs as pets. Since they both died, I have been in mourning, and had resolved not to have any more pets. But this whole channel is causing me to change my mind. This man is so caring and knowledgeable, I would watch this video over and over again. Wonderful to see.
Get new pets!! Saying goodbye to them is soo hard but all the years filled with joy and fond me memories makes it totally worth it!
I know how you feel. I am heartbroken when my babies pass. But keep in mind that you had them their whole life. Everyday you made sure they were happy and healthy. Everyday they had was a good day because of you. Maybe you could try fostering first for a bit. You still have the opportunity to help the animals that need it the most, but it's much easier to say goodbye when it's to a forever family and not just forever. ❤
I like looking at the animal & pet videos.
But I ran into a series of videos years ago from kids. Tlhere's a 'thing' where if a child has a few pets they'll do what is called a 'cage tour' where a youngster will film all their pets in turn introducing & explaining about each. They'll say ".. and this is Bert, my hamster, I've had him 2yrs but I think he needs a new cage as it's too small, etc... and this is my mice cage with Lenny & Jenny inside, etc".
Totally endearing as the child is explaining their little world and their take on it. I only watched 2 or 3 but I found them so 👍 cos the kids are getting educated, they're giving a 'presentation', could be chatting with like-minded peers online. It's an interest, a hobby and if it gets them away from a game console...

@Alexander Freeman over here in New Zealand, if we see these stoats they get shot. They attack our native bird population, and may have caused one to go extinct
@Alexander Freeman Wolves where?
@Alexander Freeman Odd, because I can't find anything other than six wolves introduced to a protected park to take care of an overpopulation of moose - Also Canadian/Alaskan isn't a species of wolf so I'm unsure if you're talking about grey wolves or another subspecies. Wolves don't multiply fast as wolves mate-for-life and only have one breeding pair per pack (Alpha male and female) each year of 4 - 6 pups (most of which probably won't survive in the wild) and wild wolves normally only live for 4 - 5 years themselves. Also...I do hope you know that Alaska is a US State which holds two-thirds of the wolf population of 18,000. I don't see the problem - that's a small number of wolves compared to Canada's 60,000. But you were talking about propaganda yes?
@Alexander Freeman California is worse than that. They're the only state in the lower 48 which has banned domestic ferrets. They are scared of a feral ferret population decimating the local bird wildlife.
First, feral cats are already doing that..
Second, the domestic ferret is so domesticated it is incapable of surviving in the wild for more than a few days, maybe 1-2 weeks at most. As proof of this guess how many feral ferret populations there are in the other 47 states where they aren't banned. 0. None. At all. Ever. Not a one since California banned the domestic ferret almost 90 years ago.
Third, while we don't have a proper domestic ferret census guess which state is the #1 consumer of ferret related products? California. This suggests that California has more domestic ferrets than any other state.
Yet every attempt at lifting the ban either through appeal to the Department of Fish and Game, or through the legislation proper, has failed.
@Alexander Freeman wanting to kill a stray house cat is sick and twisted under any circumstances. The proper solution is more funding towards municipal animal shelters so they can afford to take on more animals without having to euthanize, and responsible spay and neuter programs. You can handle problems like this without resorting to killing it just requires proper resource allocation. I would *kind of* understand if this were not a domestic animal, and if it could be hunted for food or something, but that isn’t the case. I’m also not even an “animal rights activist” at least not in the extreme sense. I eat meat, and I support sustainable and ethical meat farming as well as hunting for food.
It’s so crazy how we can become so emotionally attached to animals just thru a short 4 minute video.
God built us with an inborn sense of decency and compassion for His creation. Human beings are very good at overriding this innate and beautiful quality, to the point where we forget that why God made these creatures in the first place.
@Alexander Freeman They doesn't make them vicious, just hungry or threatened and trapped to the point of aggressively defending itself. A faithful dog would eat its owner's remains if left with the body and otherwise unfed.
@Alexander Freeman We are just the same. If you say otherwise, I beg to differ with history as my evidence. We are just, if not more, vile than any other animal. With as much good our knowledge and expertise does, it too does as much(if not more) bad and damage. To ourself and everything that surrounds us. Everyone is capable of harm and destruction, as well all that is benefitial and good.

I'm so impressed with the thoughtfully constructed outdoor enclosure that includes a stone wall to acclimate the stoats to what is available on the property! This is wildlife rehab at its very best and Robert Fuller is one of those humble caretakers who understands that the needs of the animals come first. You're a fabulous role model!
True. But I worry that for kits that have never had a wild mother showing them the wild and the dangers thereof, that they're too raw and vulnerable to other animals. They've never been confronted with larger animals trying to kill them.
Stoats have many natural enemies; predators from all kinds, including owls, hawks or larger carnivores such as the fox and particularly wild and domestic cats. Lack of available prey is probably the main cause of death for young stoats for which mortality is high.
They could have lived longer in the naturalistic enclosure, at least until fully mature. I sure hope they're doing well.
@@c2jones I also was worried about that watching it... I was looking for someone who thought it too. Is it a matter of believing that they would know it by their instinct and knowing that the natural habitat's automatically better? I'm concerned...
@@cestlina
Their natural instinct isn't enough to be in heightened awareness for predators. They've never known, seen or sensed any danger normally experienced by a mother moving and hiding them.
These kits were both born without even sight. All they've ever known was the safety of humans looking after them. The wild of nature is very different and very dangerous. They won't be as wary as otherwise necessary. Unsuspecting stoats don't last long. They'll need plenty of pure luck.
@@c2jones hmmm.. my guesses seem to be known facts.. sadly. Then I would wish they had a sense of territory, even for a little bit, and come back.
Otherwise.. wishing them that pure luck..💧

Well stoat young leave the nest having been impregnated by their fathers. Then they go out into the wild of wherever they have been introduced to and decimate vulnerable species. Nothing cute about these furry murderers, they are ecosystem threats in most places.
I genuinely think poor Whisper had a bit of a panic attack seeing the other stoat for the first time! Her initial reaction was the way I kinda imagine someone would act if they met their doppelgänger. 🤣 I could just sense a bit of "aaahhhh!!" before she calmed down and realized it was a possible friend. 😆

@@henrietta9206 Stoats can absolutely look after themselves. These two look cute but like almost all mustelids, they are genuinely fierce and easily as vicious as otters.

I identify with Whisper very strongly
Ever see two kittens meet? There seems to be an elaborate dance as both go through the steps "Will it eat me?", "Can I eat it?", "Will it steal my food?", etc.

@Barkley Barkley But that's what I said, though. I completely agree. I just mourn the loss of the company, but of course the animal deserves to be in nature, like its intended.
Personally, I'm a bit worried that they won't survive the wild. Hopefully they do, but if they don't know how to find food and avoid predators (which I expect would be learned in youth), I worry that they might be in trouble.

A little odd that they were fully released into the wild with nothing but instinct to run them. Im obviously unfamiliar with stoats, but any other small animal released like this would surely be picked off as prey shortly. Chances are they aren't together today.

@@dylanzrim3635 Actually just watched a Documentary on this guy. He has built an entire Eco System on his property, one area is a Stout Habitat and the other is for Weasel's. He raises them from birth if they are orphaned, or he has at times actually taken in whole families if their Habitat is destroyed. He releases those that can be wild when they are ready, but they are still welcome back into the outdoor habit if they can not become wild. His house/workshop etc are in between the habitats. I am sure he does not do it all alone. He has placed cameras all over the habitats. Was able to watch a first time mother raise her offspring etc.
He allows nature to take its course once the Stouts or Weasels are released. There is a group of Owls nearby and he does not interfere. The animals decide if they stay wild or return to their habitats.
@@dylanzrim3635 No, it's true that I don't know the guy but someone who does all that he does for wild creatures (and I wouldn't call stoats or weasels 'cute and furry', especially when they've grown but foxes stay cute and furry all their lives) is unlikely to shoot other wildlife willy-nilly. If you see his fabulous paintings on his website, you will see that foxes are amongst the subjects that he paints (from photos he's taken of all sorts of wildlife).

The name of this lovely man, who is also an artist is Robert E Fuller, @RobertEFuller on Twitter
He sells prints too which are more affordable
Stoats, Weasels, Ferrets- all of em are just too cute
Agreed!
Yes, very cute. Where do stoats live - geographically speaking.
@@Analysta654 In the UK at least, I believe that stoats tend to live in moorland, woodland and occasionally farmland.
@@Analysta654 They're native throughout most of the Northern Hemisphere. I had them where I lived in the UK and supposedly they're native to where I live in the US now, but I've never seen one. I also don't find too many people who have heard of them.
And all 3 are distantly related, as well as minks, polecats and otters
What a great video to watch and to see how much this man has dedicated himself to looking after these animals and returning them to the wild. Just an awesome job.
Actually people from different countries come to visit his facilities in England 😊
Yet we dont have money or time to help the poor people.
I'm always afraid that once you have handled a animal it is destined to be dependent on humans after that....Kinda like taking in a feral cat.. and then trying to set it free only to find it dead in a week due to it not having the fear of humans.
He returned them to the wild so they can be dead quickly. Good job. Why people never don’t want to return themselves to the wild? They love concrete cages, roof over their head, easy food, etc.
@@katarzynaxx563 Even though your comment doesn’t deserve the time spent in responding. Obviously you enjoy the concrete cage yourself and all the trimmings since you are using a smartphone. Be reminded that our prehistoric ancestors dwelled in caves, that humans have lived for millennia in houses made of wood or stone so not all in concrete, some still dwelling in huts, thus preserving themselves from being eaten alive and natural cataclysms. On the other hand animals are better equipped to evolve in the w.ild except those domesticated, born in captivity or rescued after an accident that left them impaired from hunting to feed themselves and avoiding predators. Most rescues often lead to complete healing and release. To place it on a human level, you would not appreciate spending the rest of your life indoors or inside a hospital after having an illness or accident with serious trauma. You would be rehabilitated before returning home. Fortunately most people apply the same principle to the animal world. Treat, heal and let go. So that the wild animal will spend the rest of his life in his proper habitat i.e. the wilderness. Then of course he will run the inherent risk of meeting with danger just as in modern life humans run the unnatural risks of been run over by a vehicle, drowning, suffering a stroke, etc. That’s life, so face it or not XX, all living beings are mortal.
Whisper is a good stoat, she is so cute, and I love her little squeaking, it was adorable!
"She's calming down a bit" Promptly bites the butt
lol
Typical woman !!
That’s how I calm down. Is that abnormal 😐 lol
SAY MY NAME!
They're adorable.
@@suzuki06g Not even. 😆😭🤷🏽♀️
This was so nice to watch, people who raise young wild animals like this always amaze me, I used to have a friend who once raised a magpie chick, all that routine of feeding and learning it to fly etc, such dedication, and he seemed to get so much enjoyment from doing it all, after it had flown the nest so to speak it would come back regular and see him...
people don't believe me but I ate a stoat before in a stew it's not bad yk people gotta stop judging
@@orangepeel1073 really you went down the list to repost your garbage life style, lol your just a troll and a bum lol wow, didnt rewrite it or anything, comes back to the parasites I warned you about.
@@orangepeel1073 Grow up. Stupid doesn't impress.
@@coryburke6162 ... He ate a rat. Tried calling it a stoat to pass it off as a delicacy.
@@JW...-oj5iw 😆 I like that one lol
Hi little guy! So cute!!!
Hello there! Love your channel! :)
Your channel changed my life
You guys have cute voices too!!😍
Hey psych2go! Awesome to see you here!
Omg
Iv'e seen this man before and i think he does a brilliant job resceuing the adorable stoats. They are adorable little killers.🥰🥰🥰
I’ve never heard of a stoat before. They’re listed as short tailed weasel here in West Virginia but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one. So adorable!
Adorable yes but ferocious little animals capable of taking down prey four times their size. Their apex predators for there size tho they are little fun socks.
you are completely right that this is what you would call a short tailed weasel. fun fact for you. in the UK in the dark ages and middle ages only posh people could use the fur to trim clothing. henry the VIII had several hats trimmed in winter stoat fur that he was very fond of.
i'm surprised living in virginia that you have not seen one. virginia is considered a stronghold for them in the US. if you do see one don't pick it up. the bit can be very nasty and you can get blood pensioning from them.
+Becky Cook. Thanks for admitting you had never heard of a stoat. I thought it was just me.
@@tommyfred6180 I live sandwiched between 2 national parks in Canada and oddly I never saw one either until one made it in my house at 4am in December. Damn are they loud lol
They are not legal in the U.S. Listed as invasive species🎆
I have never grown a relationship so fast with two animals than I have watching this video
"This is Stuart. Stuart's a girl." LOL
How about Mary Stuart?
Exactly what I thought!

love how they didn't change it
Amazing. You are a kind and caring person.
Amazing how your life is completely F**KED and nothing makes you happy anymore and you find yourself smiling from ear to ear watching this. This is therapy for me, keep them coming
Cheer up mate.Things will get better.First you hit rock bottom, from there you will climb up to become the mountain king.
@@Dakhaos-ou812 Exactly.
its called animal therapy, animals that don't have issues with humans, like good dogs or animals raised by humans (like these here stoats), are very good at therapy even if they are unspecialized in it (even more if the therapy dog is trained for it), reason being, major source of depression for humans is the passage of time, they think too much about their past mistakes or how time has flown by on one side, or dread and think about the future and possiblities too much...the past and future are a constant source of tension...meanwhile animals don't really have this understanding of passage of time, they have memories, but they cannot think thoughts like "what will happen when I will be old?" or "why did I make that mistake back then and stayed alone cause of that?"...instead they are formally anchored in present reality by their instincts, and present, well, unless something is stressing you right exactly now, in this exact moment, like you are having pains or something, unless something like is happening, the present is not stressful, not depressing, you can breathe, you are not hungry, you are fine...dogs are down, when they are hurting, but 1 minute after it stops hurting they run around like nothing has happened, humans begin to dread the future due to past experience ("what if the pain returns???") instead of enjoying present....if you could only shut the brain up about the past and future...and that's where animals come in, they help you shut up about it anchoring you in present reality...actually kids do it too, and is also (among others) the reason why people too love their children or children in general...I mean, if you want to be properly functioning member of society, you do gonna worry about the future (and learn from past), but, you also gotta know when to shut that up, some people do drugs or alcohol, but that's short termed, bad for health and eventually it is just fooling yourself weakly, instead of facing it head on...animals help develop a head on approach, sports or work that is hard but you enjoy it do too, to a lower degree
Spelled341 I truly hope that whatever it is that your going through that you get through it and that someday really soon your life becomes that which most can only dream of. I have had a pretty rough existence. In fact it's been one mostly riddled with pain and suffering but I've had a few moments that would peek it's head up and bring some genuine joy. They've been far and few in between but I am doing all that I can to make it better for myself. I hope sincerely you do the same. I wish you love, I wish you happiness and I wish you Heaven!!!
Life sucks sometimes, friend. Keep your head high and work on the better parts of your life. Find things to make you happy and ditch what doesn't. Life is far too short to allow it to be fucked. ❤
in a world falling apart, this lift my soul.
The world has always been this way. Cruelty since old times. Lol
Someone needs to write a children's book about these two
You try, it sounds like a good idea. Good luck. All positive.
They have stoats in the Redwall books
😂 Gruffalo the 3rd EP, Maybe
Having a dog you love is truly a blessing! It's really healing!
Lol dude: “yeah they’re calming down a bit now.”
Stoats: “FIGHT TO THE DEATH BIAAAATCCCH!!!!” 😂

@Tippin The Scales ... Possibly, but they are extremely fierce diners. Snake is likely to be on the menu.
@Tippin The Scales ... Amazing predators. Watch a video or three of them tackling rabbits at least twice their size.
Strange to see you here
