I'm aware that there's a certain percentage of dumb people in the world, but why do they all seem to converge to the comment section of youtube pet videos and shine the universe's brightest "dumb person here" spotlight on themselves while they try to tell pet owners what they're doing to they're own pets?
"scruffing" is the term for picking up a ferret by the "scruff" of their neck (loose skin). it doesn't hurt them. the yawning is a sign of submission, it's their way of saying "okay i'm sorry", because usually you scruff them to tell them they've done something wrong.
Ok everyone i have a ferret but when you hold them like that it makes them relaxed and feel like there mom is holding them so stop saying that hurts them
hes one of the wanker generation who dont give fuck about anything whats beautiful just music coputer games sex drugs kill thats all i would like to keep u like that and kick u in the nuts and see what kind sound u will make ....
Scruffing a ferret is fine. Ferrets fight HARD and I've yet to see one get hurt. theyre tough little guys with some mean teeth, A ferret with establish dominance on another ferret by biting its scruff and dragging it across the floor. This is also a very effective way of training a young ferret that biting is unacceptable. I've had multiple ferrets and all of them have been trained out of biting FAR faster than even a puppy or kitten learns with this technique. The yawn is a show of submission.
Well I came here to watch someone make a funny noise for a ferret.. I scrolled down to see if there were any funny comments to read and it's all about how to handle them! Grow up! I feel depressed now! Haha
How holding a ferret by the scruff of it's neck for 9 seconds I don't know.
However they can be held by the scruff of the neck - it doesn't hurt them. I occasionally do it to mine for a few seconds if he's naughty, and he is perfectly fine.
True, holding them by the scruff doesn't hurt them, but its not the best feeling in the world. Why were they scruffing it? if it was just to make it yawn and laugh, well, that doesn't seem right.
THEY DONT LIKE TO BE HUNG LIKE THAT OK YOU ARE A BIG JACK ASS OMG YOU DONT DIVERSE ANY PET IF YOU HOLD THEM LIKE THAT YOU MAYBE TUG ON THERE NICK TO GET THERE ATTENTION IF THERE BEING BAD
@Stars1271 Your a fucking idiot. Almost every ferret training book out there says to "scruff" them when needed. Its the ONLY way to clean their ears, and sometimes the only way to cut their nails if they don't like ferretone. If you had "6 FERRETS" then you would know this, but alas, your just an idiot youtube commenter.
um...you need to hold their bottoms when you scruff them...their spines are not supposed to hang like that. You have got to support them. do your reading..
Holding them by the scruff does NOT hurt them. They go limp and make the yawning face due to the hold, and it usually calms them down. Some ferrets do not enjoy being held this way, but it doesn't hurt them.
@TheCakeIsALieGxG it actually can cause back issues for adult males duh to the fact that they are heavier in the bottom area. thats why u have to rest them in ur other hand to keep from causeind stress to their backs. but other than that it will not hurt them.
@YorkieGalKen1777 Did i say the scruffing was why he was being a jackass? Wow your the idiot who the fuck was talking to you? Mind your own fucking buisness "IDIOT"
@legoman32100 It is fine to hold them like that for a short period. It releases stuff that calms them down, perfect for when you are brushing them, giving them medicine, or clipping their toenails.
thank you for the reply jackass the ferret yes i need to learn my english better even tho i live in england and have done all my life i like the way u have to get nuts wen somebody makes a mistake wow ur a real gent you seam the type of person i hunt and mug maby we should meet and check out the circumstances faggot
@snrav3r That had to be the stupidest fucking comeback I've ever heard. Kudos. You are probably the product of an incestuous redneck relationship. Don't fucking reply either until you can probably utilize English to your full advantage [MEANING LEARN IT].
@snrav3r Join PETA, see if you can stop your fucking bitching that way. Make sure you protest how an animal's mother carries its young as well. I want to see your results.
people keep trying to say it hurts them in my video where i do this.if you know anything about ferrets,actully if you know anything about animals,you should know that this is harmless and thats how thier mums carry them around.even vets do it.get over yourself hippies
Anyone ever seen a cat carry it's kittens? How do they do it?
Ever see a dog carry one of it's puppies? How do they do that?
Never owned a Ferret (stupid QLD and Ferrets being banned) but that animal didn't look stressed at all to be carried like that. If the animal is light enough to not be hurt by it, being carried by the scruff of the neck is natural.
I've even heard, in the case of Ferrets, it develops a bond, because the animal thinks of you as it's parent by being carried like that.
whenever kits (young ferrets) behave badly, their mother picks them up by their scruff and hiss at them. its natural to pick them up that way. you actually have to pick them up that way to clip their nails. nothing is wrong with it, it does not hurt it
@jenkem23 It is being handled correctly. As long as they have support for their feet it is in no way hurting the little animals, unless you are doing it for elongated periods of time, too hard, or shacking them. Learn your facts before critisizing the man who HAS hands on experience with ferrets unlike you. :]
@jenkem23 Well cutos to you :] but it was being handled correctly, and you of all people would know that. Every one has there different ways for caring for ferrets so I was not trying to offend you.
Scruffing them does not hurt them. It prevents them from hurting themselves AND you. Ferrets are very flexible. This is the best way to handle them without having them sprain or break something.
@LaurenLeighMordecai are you fucking stupid? Watch any nature show about adult animals and their offspring...dogs, cats, lions, leopards, wolves, coyotes, etc ALL carry their young by the scruff of their neck.
I agree, and this concept is best seen in ferrets. Notice the yawn, grabbing them by the scruff of the neck actually relaxes them. Most ferret owners would do this when trying to clip their nails.
@brmadman4455 yeah people are fucking idiots these days, every animal video you see 3/5 of the reactions are concerned morons who have no clue what they are talking about
@Ferretofthehouse and you're so stupid....this is not mean....this is how their mother carries them around...in fact almost ALL animals get carried/dragged around by the scruff of their neck when they are young. Watch any nature show or ask a fucking vet....

i dunno about ferrets though, and i do agree that that ferret looked pretty calm. but the other two weren't very good examples
