ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________
Whisper's growth
Both eyes are open and she is actually seeing things. It’s particularly striking when you compare her to a few weeks ago when her eyes first opened and she was quite dozy. She’s also started biting and testing everything she comes across, which of course is quite ‘stoaty’.
Her tail now has its distinctive black tip, indicating that she is a stoat. And she’s healthy. It’s interesting to note the clean, straight line where the cream fur of her belly meets the brown fur of her back. If you get close enough to these animals in the wild to see this line, it is a good way of telling weasels and stoats apart. On a weasel, it is very jagged.
Whisper's diet
Whisper is also eating meat now and, at 125gs, she is more than double the weight she was last week. I am still feeding her milk with a syringe, however, to ensure she doesn’t get dehydrated. The way to tell whether a stoat is dehydrated is to pinch fur at the back of the neck. If it springs back into shape then hydration levels are fine. I don’t think it will be long before Whisper starts drinking for herself.
Whisper's new enclosure
Watch this to see how Whisper has developed and to see how she takes to her latest enclosure. This one is much bigger and has plenty of tubes for her to explore. I’m going to add twigs and branches as she begins to learn to climb. For now, she has her sleeping bag and a few toys from her old enclosure to make her feel at home.
The sleeping bag is important because at this age stoat kits in the wild spend a lot of time underground in tree roots, old rabbit warrens, or tucked away in the gaps under dry stone walls. Watch Whisper emerge from her sleeping bag to explore her new surroundings.

Seeing such a giant human being so gentle to such a small creature is wholesome.
Right? I really appreciate how gentle he is with her. Some people just look more stiff, restricting, etc. but he's so... relaxed but gentle but still manages to keep control of the situation? Very refreshing.
why u offend the guy?
Frankly seeing a mustelid be so gentle is more surprising..
i'm 6'2 and have dated women that are 5'1 and 5'2 that used me pretty much.. never will I will ever be kind and be so gentle to small women ''creatures'' again
@@michaelangst6078 Are you implying you will be a woman handler?
So cute. I bet she is soft. How rewarding to save little animals.
I second that.
@@AnaTheWiseBanana Imagine them trusting you enough to help them. I have deer and bunnies and squirrels and chipmunks in my yard. When I see them I talk to them and sometimes leave them treats but I never pet them. I even have a eagle family who have been living in a tree behind our house for decades. When He sees me outside, I swear he screeches hello. I wave back and say Hi Mr. Eagle. Animals are way smarter than we know. They just can't talk.
@Ffff Yyy Yes Snow White. How did you know?
@@HisWordisLife4U Where do you live? It sounds nice!
@@scifydi6446 I Iive on the Oregon Coast at the mouth of the Columbia River. Beautiful nature here everywhere.
Adorable little creature. I would absolutely love to see this in person. Thank you for your dedication to all forms of wildlife.
Its kind souls like yours that makes this world a better place.
souls like?
Edit: JK
@@WIZEXI haha i thought the same
@@WIZEXI the guy is lucky shes not a weasel, it would have killed his whole family in half a second.
oh me? thanks I get that a lot actually.
@@fabiocuartas7225 The weasel gods
"Whisper" .. that's such an adorable name... precious little creature..
Don't let the cuteness fool you. As an adult she will be ruthless killer, able to bring down full grown rabbits and geese!
@@susanolson3611 that's cool
I thought he was telling me to whisper!!!!
Yes watch what they can do to a cute rabbit

I'm not sure why I get recommended this video at least twice a month BUT that thumbnail ALWAYS makes me laugh.
Now you made me laugh
Almost like he’s popping in to say “oh hai, remember me?” 😄
UA-cam delivering your monthly dose of laughter
@AwakeVeteran88 No idea why you said that until I looked up what he looks like lol.
I can’t help but click it every time it’s recommended
Stoats, weasels, ferrets, polecats are all lovely looking creatures. So playful to watch but oh so deadly to other animals. Love them
Don't forget minks
@@powerfulbeing4634 And Martens and Fishers and Wolverines and Badgers, Sables, Sea Otter/River Otter... and more ( somewhere between 53 and 56 distinct species in this family)
omg wtf, i never heard of polecats @_@
OMG I GOOGLED THEM I LOVE THEM
Isn't polecat a nickname for skunks?
@@waffles5354 they're the like the old ancestors of ferrets

God shes so cute ❤🧡💛
My favorite part lol
Reminder to people who might not know- he’s not feeding her cow milk (I’m assuming) always make sure you’re giving your rescue animals the right milk before you feed them :]
I remembered Ozzy the weasel! So much memories on those little buddies!
Kousaka Kakeru OMG I remember Ozzy....first time I’ve ever saw such a cute little critter....I love how freakin CUTE weasels are!!
I miss Ozzy as well!!
@@sossma Ozzy is still alive...
@@Jkuchenbrod it died like 3 years ago.
@@josephlalhmachhuana3579 no. >:(
Cutest part was when she yawned and showed her mouth. Adorable Whisper the Stoat!
"She's very alert now."
*tries to nap*
“Hooman, I wanna take a nap!”
@@rosurinplayz Human* I know you probably think it's a cute way to say "Human." but it's really not cute and just dumb.
@@jeanatato wow...
I love how they're always squirming around
I think all members of the weasel family have constant crackhead energy unless they're sleeping.
@@prozierozie5692 haha, or a hyper-active kid who had too much sugar.
especially when he was showing the line between the brown and the white DON'T TOUCH MY BELLY!!! lol just like my cat......"hey belly rubs feel kinda nice DON'T TOUCH MY BELLY" arrrgh lol
@Quazmodic They have razor-like teeth and an extremely strong bite. He'd be missing a finger if the stoat felt it was in danger.
@Quazmodic wow, triggered much? lol dude, they squirm around like that while sitting in their sleeping chamber, and on the ground, and in a tree, and around rocks, they are little bundles of energy.
The thing you miss is: it looks to him as it's parent, he was the first thing it saw when it opened its eyes.
i was today years old to find out that an animal called stoat exists and i am now happier
I was today years old when I found out about this creature as well. I am two months younger in stoat in knowledge.
It’s like a mini ferret and I am in love

Oh my goodness- When he opened his little mouth (like the thumbnail) - he look so joyful and innocent - my heart did a flip! What a precious little creature. I instantly loved him. What a great guy to rehab and photograph these awesome animals.
She's a beautiful little girl I am so glad to be able to watch her grow thank you so much
That smile is one that is plotting world domination but,
*needs a nap first*
Yeah, ok, that little thing is adorable.... and really sweet.

Yes..
The dark side is strong with this one.

You had the best interests of the creatures in your heart from the very beginning. That is the hallmark of the genuine naturalist, and it is far too rare. Well done!
I'm literally crying, it's so cute.
The adorableness is overwhelming. I love animals, probably more than people. Can't help it.

Lovely❤️
That is because you're smart. People suck.

She looks so soft!! Aww
How to tell the difference between a stoat and a weasel?
Easy! one is weasily recognisable as the other is Stoatily different.
*insert slow clap here*
@@denisemarsh7666 oof
Oml, we seriously need more humourous people like you. 😂
My guy, nick said this a month ago
I hate you. I laughed at this and I hate you for it.
As a proud first time owner of a now seven year old ferret Rose I am very interested in weasel and related animals. Your video shows me something I have never seen or heard of. Rose was a pet store purchase here in Ottawa Canada and she is a Marshal ferret. Having met a ferret rescue my heart breaks knowing how abused and misunderstood these animals are. Yes ferrets are not wild and can never be and were used to control mice etc for farmers before being pets but they are not hamsters to be kept in cages all day.... great videos Anyone who rehabs AND you give wild homes is amazing. Thanks you sir for all you do. Also what joy they must give you. I hope it is more smiles than tears. 😊🌹💜
You can’t weasel your way into my life.
lol, ok. yes you can.
She stoataly stole your heart eh
Yeah it’s cute now! But wait til it’s older! & shows it’s dark side! These things kill mice, rats, & rabbits with such efficiency!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽😂😂😂👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Are you *inferreting* in a *stoatally* slick pun?
Get stout of here.
Stoa(n)t you believe it!
I cant stop smiling, this has made my entire day thank you.
Cutest things ever. I suppose you let them be free. I'd cry letting them leave. Great job Fuller!
So cute how she pokes her head out of the bag!
I died of cute overload, put that on my epitaph.... along with a sigh and an echoing Awwww
How wonderful to see such gentle care from a big burly man! And how wonderful of this big burly man to share these wonderful videos with us. Did I mention that I think it’s wonderful?😊
Literally one of the cutest things ever 😍.
Isn't she just the most precious thing! I love how bold they are, even with those tiny mouse-sized bodies.
I fell in love with a creature I didn't even know existed before I stumbled upon this video. Too adorable for mere words. I hope all her days are happy ones and filled with excitement, pleasure and treasure. Thank you for saving her and thank you for sharing her.
0:53 That face just melts my heart immediately, cuteness overload. :D
@Din Joekhannaz Too late...
I didn’t know about these, how? They are definitely the cutest things on earth
Well your looking at a domesticated one
The wild ones are vicious enough to kill deer and larger animals than itself
@@SilentBackstabs I know they’re vicious. Doesn’t change how cute they are. These kind of look like mink and those are killers too.
Not when they grow up!
@@SeattleRaindrop206 I think they still are very cute when adults
Thank you so much for what you're doing and for sharing it. I'm going to refer your channel to everyone I know who loves animals.
Very nice! Thoughtful design of her enclosure. She’s one lucky stoat.
@Quazmodic the title says rehabilitation, she is being cared for until she is strong enough to live on her own. If he let her out in the wild the poor thing would just die, I trust he knows what he is doing unlike other real attention seeking humans.
she’s so cute tears came to my eyes! stoats are already adorable, their kits really take it to 11.
Those stoats are so adorable!! Thank you Robert!❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
When I see the terrible Cruelty inflicted by Mankind on all other Species on this Planet including Trees it is lovely to see your Kindness towards this wonderful little Creature. Thank you for sharing.
Hurray! I second that.
@@peterschulze491 me too I third that
Yeah.
Let's have a burger.
Yes because clearly mankind is unique in its cruelty........
Soon we will only have domesticated animals unfortunately.
Oh my gosh, that little yawn is so adorable I could cry tears of joy. 😍
Definitely, these animals and birds are so adorable. Thank you Sir for bringing these videos to us. God bless you 🙏 always.
I think her little tongue is so cute. She's absolutely gorgeous!!!
My God she is so *CUTE!!!* I'm melting into a puddle of goo just looking at her!
Adorable lil cute face, TY, for sharing a tad bit of your life with us.
I e never seen this animal.she is the cutest thing ever.
@@Couchlover47 😂🤣😂
She is Gorgeous!
Stoats and Weasels have a very un-deserved bad rep/image, they are an amazing part of wild life.
its kinda deserved if you live in a farm with chickens
@@edukee Yeah but the farm with the chickens is an unnatural human system whereas the stoat is a wild animal that is in land that was taken away from it.
Yeah it's like wolves, they earn a bad rep from people that raise livestock because they are predators.
@Holden Mcgroine dogs do the same thing 🤷🏻♂️
For their size they are amongst the most vicious and dangerous of animals so I'm not sure why you think their reputation is undeserved. Yes, they are an amazing part of wild life but I remember seeing a full size rabbit being killed by a weasel when I was a boy. The rabbit was much much bigger than the weasel and it took some time for the weasel to kill it, during which time the rabbit made awful, distressing noises. That's what weasels do but the savage reputation seems completely deserved to me.
Will stouts are just about the cutest critters that I can imagine... Except for maybe a stout kit...,😍😍😍😍😍
Its great to see in a time where everybody hates everybody that there are still good people that care for and about animals. Thank you for talking the time to care for those that can't do it for themselves.
I love Whisper in the bag being all "You can't see me!"
proud people who cares about animals! God bless you!
who else wants something they've never heard of before now?
Stoats are little bad asses. There is a video of a stoat killing a rat that's much bigger.

Wild stoat: vicious & ferocious hunter, killing animals more than double its size
Pet stoat: P R R R am bebby sausage
S O S I G*
I'm imagining a narration like this in a zefrank video. Totally hearing this in his voice.
@@MizzWGGrrrl lmao he is funny
true....
@Ano Nymous. I have to say that people fantasizing about the motives of animals when they are not animal behaviourists is what is causing animals to be killed. Please stop fearmongering. Stoats are not vicious or ferocious. They are carnivores with a body designed for eating meat and so they eat meat. They have no other choice. End of story. Fearmongering is what is causing the eco-crisis we face. This crisis is important to address as animals and plants working together make the air we breathe, the water we drink and the soil we grow our food in.
This goes way beyond cuteness overload!🥰
She (he) is absolutely adorable!
anyone who likes this little guy, do a youtube search for *Ozzy the adorable desk weasel* after seeing that video 5 years ago or so, i wanted one SO bad.

They are not good pets, wild mustelidae are very grumpy and vicious when hungry, they don't like being held long either
@@QueenofTaterTots Sounds like a Border Collie.
@@toomanyhobbies2011 not really, these animals will destroy your house, and rip up your hand just when they're hungry, the only weasel like family member you can successfully tame and keep are ferrets
Yeah Love Ozzy....first time I was ever introduced to a weasel, I couldn’t get enough , I watched all his videos and fell in love, love the one with the toy train and Eore so so cute!
2:50 me checking outside my room when parents have visitors.
This chap rightly puts these rescue animals back into the wild so I cant see why anyone gives him the thumbs down?
You're such a good papa for her 🥺👏
Whisper is so adorable, especially when she yawns.
I love little animals like that!
I have a wild weasel? In my house. He's getting more friendly by coming out in the open when I'm present. He's 6" long. White with a black tip on his tail. I love having him...I am mouse free! Woo-hoo!
He's a keeper!
little did the viewers know, the stoat stayed on top of that piece of cloth for 3 whole weeks looking confused.

Absolutely adorable little stoat. They're so cute. They're very playful.
Poor thing has no idea where she is...lol. Obviously she is being well fed ❤️. She's adorable.
This may be a stupid question, but.... Does she ever sit still and cuddle? She's a lovely little thing.
No not really
Only after a few glasses of wine !!!
Yes, a really stupid question. This is not a pet
Not a stupid question at all even if someone says it is. Everyone is ignorant about something. I’m sure they would cuddle with their own stoat family.
Marans Candy if not a pet, is it tasty and the fur makes a good hat?! also not a stupid question right!
Adorable and wonderful to see❤
She's just adorable 💜💖🌷
