- Hi everyone. Sorry for taking so long to send out a video. I thought you might like a little insight into my life in the first twelve months. Thanks to my nan and pop for helping me make the video. Thanks for watching. Love George.

Ferrets have a very simple philosophy. "It's mine" Doesn't matter whether it moves or not, it's mine!!!
Awww. I miss my 3 ferrets. They're in heaven now. RIP Kiah, Chunky, Snickers.
So sad. We lost our little girl a few months before we found George.
Sounds like you messed up.
@@MartyrMachine Ferret can die without any fault on the owners🤷♀

God bless George and his family!
thank you so much
This was such a wonderful video! Being a ferret owner of 20 years I just have to say a couple things. One, ferrets lack the enzyme to digest dairy so they shouldn't be given any. Two, they are social animals so they benefit greatly from having more of their kind around. We have a general rule of keeping at least two in our house because they can die from loneliness. You seem to keep George here very active and entertained, keep it up! Dook dook 🐾
I've been a ferret dad for 23 years and ferrets are like potato chips, you can't have just one lolol
He said it was "cat" milk, which is lactose free, so safe for adult cats and ferrets.
How did you house-train. We got 2 ,plus year old ferrets they would go in the corners with puppy pads but weren't able to litter train How did you do it?
Watching George puts a smile on my face. I miss my 6 to this day and it’s been 23 yrs since the last one passed 💔
I just can’t get enough of George!! 😂 God makes such wonderful beautiful animals!!
❤❤❤❤❤
Awww! What a cutie! I hope he has a long and happy life! 😊
Thanks so much! Fingers crossed.
Yes it's hard to imagine what life was like before ferrets came into my world. Love mine with all my heart. They're my children
I have a ferret Peaches she brings me so much love xxx
George, you are so adorable and sweet 😍🥰
What an ADORABLE little sweetheart!!! I’ve always wanted a ferret! ❤❤❤ 😊
What a great life young George has!
Almost escaped this morning 🫣
@@Derek_Lark You gotta stop opening your door to weirdos!
Your doing an excellent job. Keep up the good work. I've had ferrets for 30 yrs. I could tell immediately that he is very loved.
Your ittle George is adorable.
He would absolutely love a friend. Even if you give him tons of love and attention, they really need other ferrets to thrive.
You have little white toes like my Minxie did! (Dook in peace Minx) Adorable ❤
Love your channel too!
he is absolutely adorable 🥰🥰
Thanks for sharing this nice video of George the ferret. I love seeing how happy he is in his new home. I also have a ferret name George. He used to look alot similar to your George. His fur started getting more lighter each year. My George is turning 5yrs old in April this year. He is my first ferret. I also have 3 other ferrets name Casper, Fiona, and Rerun. George is the oldest. I love ferrets ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love George! You guys are amazing people. He is having the best life.😍
I’d love to see more of this little one!
We have three ferrets. Life is so much fun and sometimes they can be a pain too. They think everytime I sit in the recliner they get treat, a fish oil mixture from the pet store. Nothing like 3 spoiled ferrets! They really get to know you and what your going to next
They are very clever. George loves anything with a bit of oil.
U are Amazing George so glad to meet u sir hope to see lots of u❤
Your one lucky ferret George love Rusty
Sweet hope he’s got some ferret pals though as very social animals and love the co pant of fellow ferrets .😊
Adorable! And what a lovely home you have, too. I hope George hasn't tried to make any holes in your sofa. I've had ferrets for the last 25 years. Lovely animals.
Thank you. George has explored the sofa but not found his way in, yet. Our last girl lived in the sofa so much we had to sew an entrance hole in the side!
He’s such a sweet little angel!!!
❤❤❤❤❤
какая же прелесть!!!
I love George 🥺
How precious!!
Ahh reminds me so much of my first ferret we explored and discovered new things together it was an amazing experience for both of us
So cute! More, please!❤❤❤
une tres belle video avec un fufu bien gate et bien forme ,
Thank you I love diversity in personality ferrets have
thats a wonderful video.....thank you for posting
Sweet
Great video we have 3. They are a so much fun
Great tribute to your ferret friend, give him the best. Ferrets are inconditional love, thery are special.
George is so cute and it looks like he has an awesome life! We had a ferret when I was a teenager and I remember he loved fruit loops and was OBSESSED with socks, even dirty ones. He’d steal them out of the hamper. They’re such fun pets. Thanks for sharing!
Go George!
So sweet♥️🥰
Looks like George has a great life.
😍❣❤💯
Should get George a friend ferret, they thrive longer with other ferrets.
God I miss having ferrets...some day.. some day I will, again. :'
I have Three ferrets , they are riot at play time . Loki is 1 and a half , Angie 4 , and Pete 6 . Ferret can live well into 7 to 8 years .
Hi Daniel. Great to hear. Our last girl, Luna, was 8 years old when she went over the rainbow bridge. Best regards
Hi george we are from Australia too love from Nightwing & Xena have a ferrety christmas
Love to you both, hope Santa is good to you 👍🏻
Nice one Derek.
Always nice to see a ferret with a leash, taking them for walks. I leash walk my ferret every night for 6-8 blocks.
Yes, he is a great walker, loves getting into the garden shed and smelling every crevice. Not too keen when the noisy birds are overhead though.
@@Derek_Lark It's been said Ferrets are nocturnal, so I only walk them at night when the sun goes down. If I try to walk them in the daytime, they get nervous and want to run back to the house. Eagles/owls/Hawks prey on ferrets in the wilds, so with any bird sound they may think it's a Hawk or Eagle. What doesn't show up on a ferret's radar screens are owls. One night, while walking my ferret, an owl flew down and parked itself 3 feet from my ferret, ready to take him airborne But I was lucky to see it happening. Beware walking them at night for owls. owls can airlift cats and even small dogs. Ferrets are generally fearless, they can, if cornered, kill cats and dogs. We occasionally get javelinas coming thru my neighborhood, and it's very amusing to watch, my ferret dashes after them (he's on a leash) and the javelina run like crazy, fearful of this small little animal. I've been to parks, and my fearless ferret will run after a German Shepherd dog, and, at first, the dog backs away until he regains his senses. Have fun on your ferret walks. My ferret gravitates to any pipe, running out of a building, and attempts to climb thru it, and drainage pipe, big or small.
They're like permanent toddlers
I had a ferret named George. He looked just like him.
That is so amazing!
it is best to have 2 ferrets, they are really social :)
Lovely ferret and I say this more hopefully, and less criticisingly, but I hope there's room for another brother/sister ferret if there isn't already?
i'm already at my third and I need to stay away from getting a fourth!
❤
He is so cute !! But where is his partner/group? Ferrets should not live alone :(
hi george, its nono you have a big house much bigger than my apartment but that's enough for me and my human made me a whole tube course with bottles and these great your humans take good care of you it's great
Hi nono, I have a tube too, it is curly but not too long and I love to go through it. I wag my tail when I stop half way through.
I love your videos of George, but do you mind me asking why he's on his own, as I've always thought they should at least be in pairs?
Keep up the good work 👏 🙌 👍
Get George a furry buddy! 😊
I had 2 one passed away his name was coco, I still have my older one mittens 7 years old rn
🤗🌈
My life in 6 minute I have 3🤣🤦♀️ but I never take them out with the leash they always slipped out of it🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️I have a stroller, and a clear book bag, and a hand bag,,, scare to give then a walk on the leash🤦♀️🤦♀️
What a great idea! At least they get a sensory experience outdoors. George gets a leg out now and then so we watch closely. He is now in the smallest cat harness we can buy in Australia the other harnesses we had were an easy “escape”.
@@Derek_Lark 🤣🤣🤣 I had to stitched some of the stroller corner u know they no joke in the stroller I had to walk with with 4 eyes because u know exactly what we dealing with they smell any hole🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
I have decided if i live long enough to retire then i will get ferrets but at the moment I want to travel
aaaaaaw
Hi George from Iko
❤❤
george is awesome! love ferrets... but need to give you some advice on them. dont give him milk, or anything that has any carbs. he will get pancreatitis which requires medicine the rest of his life. and please, only bottled water in a glass or ceramic bowl, not the plastic drinking bottles that mount inside a cage. be extremely careful with chemical cleaners and pesticides too. they are very delicate creatures, crawl very low to the floor and can pick up many things not healthy. also take all footwear off at the front door. keep nails trimmed and clean his teeth. ferrets get periodontal disease which oddly enough can trigger hearth and kidney problems. they are also VERY susceptible to getting adrenal disease. first sign is hair loss on the tail. there is an implant that takes care of it..its the size of a grain of rice and implanted in the back of the neck area. this can be done preemptively so he never gets adrenal as well.
从头看到尾。
What type of leash is that? And how you get him to wear it?
It is a small cat lead. i have been wearing a lead since the time I arrived in my new home. I have had to get bigger leads as I have grown up though.
i have a ferret two name is Rascal and mischeif
What great names!
Could I ask,is he house trained ? If so how did you manage it ? My boy Jasper,poops anywhere.
Well sort of. If he needs to wee he will find one of the many puppy pads we have spread around but when he needs to poop he only finds the paper about 50% of the time, except if he is in his cage in which case he always uses the pad. It is like he just has to go straight away. The puppy pads are placed in locations where he has decided would be good spots for a toilet. An easy clean up if he manages to make it to one. In spots we don't want him to use we have put some of his toys, which seems to work most of the time. So more like George training the humans than the other way.
@@georgetheferret6825 Thank you. It's not just my Jasper then.I have papers in the corners of every room,which as you say are used about 50% of the time.The rest of the poop,is rather random and could be anywhere.First job when I get out of bed is hunt the poop !
I think in Latin share it comes from means little thief
do you raw feed your ferrets, I am trying to get a ferret and I don't know were to get raw ferret food. I can find raw dog food but cant find raw ferret food.
Yes, he has settled on raw pork loin steak as his favourite. We get that at the supermarket and chop to pieces about 1 cm cubes. He also has dry ferret food in his cage for snacks but doesn’t eat much.
@@Derek_Lark thank you so much!
Your "About" page describes George as a "black foot ferret". Did you mean the BREED "Black-footed ferret"? George is most certainly NOT a BLACK-FOOTED ferret. George is a SABLE (or possibly a SABLE MITTS) ferret.
Anal you
dairy for an obligate carnivore?
You know Ferrets are lactose intolerant also pork isn't recommended
HI, IF YOU REALLY LOVE FERRETS PLEASE TAKE ONE MORE FERRET, BETTER TWO BECAUSE FERRETS NEEDS FERRETS, KEEPING A FERRET ALONE IS CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
I hate auto correct
Does he kill, just asking because of your toy, a furry rat 🤔✌️
No, he just likes fluffy toys, particularly ones with a suede like covering.
He a polecat not ferret... Ferrets are always white with red eyes and generally smaller..and less aggressive!, hunters usually cross breed the two because a ferret is more easily trained and less aggressive and easily retreived, where as a polecat dont really listen when encouraged to come out, and often will kill in resulting sometimes in blocking its self in, so youll have to keep returning every day for at least 4 days untill its chewed its way through even then sometimes youll lose one for good!, unless youve tracker chipped him, whereas a ferret will usually flush the rabbit out instead of full on determined attack...
Uh. That’s a ferret, atleast in the video. Polecats are chunkier, have wider faces, and darker fur. :)
Rubbish. There are 10 breeds of (domesticated) ferrets. Only ONE of them is "always white". It's called Albino. George is a SABLE. or SABLE MITT.
@@georgechesnin5871 I’ve noticed your comments on other videos and it would be nice if you refrained from using caps. underlining or italicizing your words is and you can
I don’t know why, but it deleted by bolded underlined and italicized words. My point still remains, though...
* bolding * less harsh * still make your point
Belongs to nature and not in a flat just for your own business
