A few animated anecdotes about my silly business of ferrets using their brains for mischief.
Thanks for watching!

Buy them a treat on ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/williamsnekspeare

Sidenote:
I am currently weaning the ferrets onto kibble from their raw diet due to the current bird flu situation. I wish I could explain this to Princess, who thinks I am changing her food to be cruel to her for no reason. Best of luck to her in these trying times.

That’s adorable

I'm generally not a huge fan of this kind of [i]tumblroid looking[/i] humans, but, [b]damn[/b]. This animation is a clear exception. The fact that the little fluffy ferrets steal the show (in fucking spades) does help but mainly, the whole thing is just very very well done both from the technical POV and script-wise. That's really something.

Just discovered that channel on Youtube & gave it a sub after watching the only other video he have uploaded. Someone needs to upload that other video here as well, also very high in production quality with proper attention to detail along great body language & cute without being cringe.

I remember seeing this a bit back on youtube. Love meatslinkies

I'm an exception

Ferrets are incredibly smart and intelligent. Most mustelids are. Especially otters They aren't quite crow or parrot level. And most certainly not dolphin level. But they are much smarter and more intelligent than cats or dogs.

Love this one <3

Some soul healing stuff in this site is always welcome, this makes my day

I didn’t know you could upload MP4s

Not what I expected to see today but MAN am I happy I did, this is fantastic!

They mischievous animals in maybe troupes XD for a reason but typically more friendlier than most media protrays

Crime fur-Noodles.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Ferret's are some of my favorite animals, this is why I love them so much

Holy shit, this is without a doubt one of the best and most adorable animations I've ever seen on this site!! I love this so much. <3
